 The only pills to take with Hoods Sarsaparilla.

IN the last issue of the Press Eagle "A Catholic Reader, y in commu- nication to that paper, complains because the GRAPHIC, in discussing the sudden changes of opinions which are so often witnessed these days, used this language. There never would have been Reforma- tion had it not been for the stead fastness of the fathers in their faith, and we would yet be groping in the darkness and superstition of medieval Catholicism had it not been that there were martyrs ready to be burned at the stake.
 Catholic Reader" wants to know why the religion of the Catholics was dragged into the matter, and suggests that Eff medieval dark ness and superstition were employed as terms to express the editorial idea, the phrase might be let pass, though eome of the most eminent scholars of the nineteenth century are reluctant to admit that the mid dle ages were exceptionally dark or superstitious.
 So far as a literal expression is concerned to convey definite idea. the suggestion of "A Catholic Reader is, perhaps, an improve ment on the phraseology used by the GRAPHIC But the Catholic Reader" aforesaid is entirely too sen- sitive, and we would commend to him the homely maxim, "don kick until you are spurred. The GRAPHIC simply referred to an his torical fact, and reeited fact in history to show that in days gone by men were not as quick to change their opinions political or religious as at present, but, if need be, they would sacrifice their lives for the sake of their convictions. We would say to A Catholic Reader that it is impossible in the haste of making a daily newspaper to closely analyze every word and sentence, or to anticipate the construction that will be given it by some fellow who is always on the lookout for some thing to kick up muss about.

THE Memphis Scinitar gives the following as a fair summary of the Democratic silverite position and plan of campaign:
 Resolved, first, That silver was surreptitiously demonetized in 1873.
 Resolved, second, That times are hard and everybody has to hustle. Resolved, third, That if silver were coined freely and without limit at the ratio of 16 to 1, times would be good.
 Resolved, fourth, That all Demo crats who do not subscribe to the foregoing are villains and traitors to the State; or, at least, that we should denounce them as such. This is about all the argument" there is in the case, and to some it is quite convincing. Any free silver
