Thurston be. What coniemptu- ous defiance of the people who have expressed in the defeat of Majors their repudiation of spec.- al interests in legislation. The people are impotent against the falsehood and dishonesty of Re publi can party management. AS far as the Democratic party could serve the purpose and interest oi the people of Nebraska, both were served by the defeat of Majors. But Republicans capable Of seeing the significance of Majors nomlna tion were incapable of seeing the significance of refusing to nomi nate d senatorial candidate against Bryan.
 The Republican party is an or ganized machine for the promo tion of vested interests in thi: country. It stands for popular delusion and popular spoliation.- Republic.

All OLD COLD
Is Chronic Catarrh, the Worst Dis
 ease Known.

The first stage of catarrh is commonly called catching cold. It may begin in the head, nose, throat or lungs. In the majority of cases no attention is paid to a cold, therefore nearly half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to iHvitc catarrh.
 The second stage of catarrh is sometimes called an old cold. If in the head, there is roaring, crack ing in the ears, perlodlcal head ache, and confusion of the senses. If in the nose, discharge, sneezing, noisy breathing, and bad breath. In the throat It produces enlarged tonsils, hawking, sore throat, ho2rsencss or weak voice. When the catarrb reaches the bronchial tubes and lungs it produces cough, pain in the chest, expectoration, night sweats, loss of flesh and shortness of breath.
 A cold in the head, which sin gle bottle of Fortuna will cure, soon becomes case of chronic catarrh, which will require many bottles to entirely cure. A sore throat, which one bottle of Peru ma will cure, soon becomes chronic pharyngities enlarged tonsils, which will require many bottles. A slight cough, which without a vestige of doo bt, would soon dis appear with the use of Fortuna, becomes chronic bronchitis, which requires persistent use of Peru na for some time. There arc q great many cases of consumption each year due directly to q neg lect of coughs, colds, etc, which, if Pe-ru-na had been kept in the house and used according to di- rections, would have been prevent ed.

 So much along this line. now, we will revert, for a moment to me of the measures urged for a Constitutional Convention by it's advocates and see if the game is worth the powder,
 The Mayors meeting, recently held in Little Rock, wants one, that cities and towns may issue bonds fer public improvements.

They are III as good shape as arc the individuals who make them and 10 further tax the citizen, i1 his present impoverished condition is of rather doubtful propricty.

This, ws think. k hardly teeessa. rv.

Constitutional Convention, Again

Northern Cotton Mills Moving
 SouthWard.

Southward.
 In |, recent special dispatch to the Picayune it was shown that two large cotton manufacturing companies in New England had resolved to devot, large sums of money to the establishment: of mills in the South, for the purpo ose of being better able to compete in the foreign trale. These corpora tious have realized that Southern mills are able to produce cotton goods at much smaller cost than New England mills, and that, con sequently5 the former are in n bet ter position 10 compete for foreign trade than ,he latter. O~ ing @ railroad freight discriminations and the aseendency of the Eastern commercial centers in the genera dry goods trade, the Eastern mills are tt Il able to compete oa favor able terms for large share of the domestic trade; but in the foreign trade, where margins are close and the competition of Lancashire is 10 be reekoned with, the advant- age lies easily with the Southern mills.
 Owing to the fact that the South ern cotton mills have inexhauSti blo supplies of the raw material at their very doors, and, consequent lv, are able to secure cotton at bt- tie or no cost for transportation, 1t is rot hard to see that they have a great advantage over the Northern mills m tho matter ot cheaper cost Of raw material. Not only is the carriage charge saved, ], but the commissions of middle mon as well. Labor is relatively cheaper in the South than in the North. as IS also fuel. Building sites for mills also represent n much smaller outlay.
 With respect to distributing facilities, they are quite as good in the South with the respect to the trade ot the country as they arc in the West. Moreover, the Southern mills are all within easy reach of tide water, and, conse- quently, can have as favorable rates for ocean tonnage as the Northern mills. In fact, the in ducements in the way of competi- tion for the foreign trade are ov- erwhelminglY on the side of the South, and il is this consi iteration. more than any other, as has al- ready been stated, W hich is attract ing New England capital south ward,
 As it IS, to be prepared to com pete more successfully for toregn trade that the New England mill owners arc seeking sites for branch mills in the South, 1t should be natural for them to seek for such locations in the neighborhood of the leading Southern ports. New Orleans certainly offers greater induce ments in this respect than any other port. Here can be found every indueemcnt that the most favored portion of the South can offer, namely, an abundant supply of cheap cotton, this city being acknowledged as the best cotton market in the world; cheap fuel, an abundance of labor, excellent transportation facilities and marnifieent harhor, with plenty of tonnage. Cotton goods can be shipped from this point to all parts of the world, aud, should the Nicaragua Canal be complet- ed, as it unqaestionably will eventually, New Orleans would be in the most ivantageous position with respect to the trade of the Orient, as well as that of the west coast of South America, oi any of

Mother Nature, Ever Fruitful.

In beneficences to mankind, has given birth to one which, developed by art, has been prodigal in health yielding ben efits to the race. No voyager sea cap tain, commercial traveller, or tourist seeking pleasure and health, should fail to be self-provided with this grand botanic restorative and preventive, Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters. which counter acts the effects of malarious air and brackish water, unwholesome or un- wonted diet, exposure, the fatigue of travel, and the disturbance of the stoni- ach caused by rough weather at sea, and sometimes by railway travelling over rough road bed. Mariners. min CTS and western pioneers bear concur rent evidence to it's defensive and re- parauve influence. Chills and fever,
 rheumatism, inactivity of the kidneys, biliousness, dyspepsia and nervousness are all relieved by this incomparab bly, fine alterative, corrective and invgor- ant, which physicians highly commend.

The LAST ACT OF THE CITY COUNCIL PER-

Small Amount Of Routine Business Transacted.
Resolutions of Thanks and Addresses BY the
Mayor and Members of the Body.

The City Council OF 1894 passed into
history last night, the last meeting be-

The two Branches were convened
about eight o'clock, with eighteen men,
bers present in the lower chamber and
fourteen in the upper. Regular BUSH
ness consumed about twenty or twenty
five minutes, and then the customary
resolutions of thanks were adopted. His
Honor the Mayor made brief address
in the First Branch, aud then the
gavel fell and the body adjourned.
After adjournment the members spent
some time in social talk, grouping
themselves about the corridors, and a
number Of them showed a pardonable
reluctance to leave the City Hall where
they had served so long in an official
capacity, some of them for d series of
of years. There was quite fair at
tendance of citizens and politicians Of
both parties in the Hobbies, and the oc-
casion possessed very considerable in

The business transacted was as fol-

mittee on Petitions and Remonstrauces

No. 335 Main street, was annulled, and
