Our Republican friends seem all at
once to have come to the conclusion
that Mr.. Chilton's deficit has been
treated too lightly, and they are pitch
ing into him with all their might. In
addition they want to ferret out other
crooked things for which Democratic
officials may have been responsible
while in power, and will endeavor to
have general overhauling at Charles
ton. This sudden spasm Of virtue is
to provide the Republicans with cam
paign material for next year, when
they will make desperate effort to
carry the Legislature, so as to elect a
United States Senator. Investigations
are all right, but it is well to remem-
Der that they sometimes cut "gwine

THE opponents ofcivil service made
a pretty big splutter in Washington
last week, and they were so greatly
encouraged by their own remarks that
they concluded to call caucus Satur-
day night and consummate their plans
to annihilate the system. The attack
proved to be blank cartridge. Only
ffty-seven Representatives could be
corralled, and some of these were
friends of civil service. There was
good deal of talk from the gentlemen
who were present, but they could not
see their way clear to destroy the per-
nicious system, and they finally ad-
journed without taking any action.
We again venture our prediction that
civil service is here to stay.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases. 1t
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage
is often, by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided To find out correctly,
set your urine aside twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer' S
Swamp Root, the great kidney and blad-
der remedy. is soon realized. If you
need medicine you should have the
best. At druggists fifty cents and one

The Democratic members of Con-
gress held caucus Tuesday night to
decide upon their policy. They adopt
ed resolutions declaring against the re-
tirement of greenbacks and treasury
notes; against the extension of any
privileges to the national banks; in
favor of giving the Cuban insurgents
recognition and the rights of belliger-
ents; favoring national bankruptcy
law. II will thus be seen that the
Democrats favor what the Republi-
cans oppose and oppose what the Re-
publicans favor.

THE Virginia Legislature has unan-
imously reelected Hon. John W. Dan
lei to the United States Senate. The
Republicans and the Populists united
with the Democrats, and the popular
Virginian received every vote that
was cast. Senator Daniel is not only
an able man, but is also an honest and
courageous one. He is one of the few
who does not go after strange gods,
and all the people respect him.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.

We hold, therefore, that to restore

vate monopolies Of public necessities

whenever any such public necessity or
utility becomes a monopoly in private

shall appropriate the same by right OF
eminent domain, paying a just value
therefor, and operate them for, and in
the interest Of, the whole people.

BARLOW'S Drawn

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Times, turns with relish from pillorying
Bryan to impaling Barlow with vocab-
ulary of invective
The Herald yesterday pointed out how
vain is the assault upon Mr. Bryan, how
impotent the attempt to belittle the
champion of free silver, and how obvious
the deduction that such a course betrays
q knowledge and fear of Mr. Bryan's
strength.
In the house of representatives during
the debate on the Dingley tariff bill, Mr..
Barlow did his duty and spoke the plain
unvarnished truth. There was no Eek
travagance" nor manifest absurdity"
in his utterances, nor need one 'look in
vain for kernel of wheat in a bushel of
chaff." The Times itself promptly pro-
duces the kernel.
1.-THE tariff question" said Mr.. Barlow,
"by common consent, was laid upon the
shelf. ! owe my election in a large
measure to the fact that the majority of
men in my district, without regard to
the cause of hard times during periods
of both high and low tariffs is identical,
namely, vicious financial system"
The history of the last campaign is
too fresh in the memory of men to at
tempt, with any anticipation of success,
q deception as to what was its vital
issue. The fallacy of the Times, so con-
fdently expressed, that the logical le-
gitimate and real issue of the late cam
paign was the tariff ISSUE" fall to the
ground with a deplorable thud 1t is,
indeed, true that the Times, in company
with other Republican organs, strove
valiantly to make voters believe that
the tariff was the issue. but the people
decided otherwise, and the money ques-
tion became the leading and almost the
only issue of the campaign. Mr.. McKin-
Icy was really elected by those who be-

Washington Coachman's Nosegay

Spring sunshine has awakened the
crocuses on the White House terrace,
and the streets of the national capital
are lined with gay equipages. The Nc
Kinley brougham is seen every day, the
wooden part in the brougham being olive
green and the lining is light tan cloth.
A few weeks ago the liveries of the driV-
er and footman were of green, but lately
they have been changed to tan colored
cloth. Both always wear carnations in
their buttonholes and the handsome bays
with silver-mounted harness make as
smart a looking turnout as one will see
in this city
The idea of providing a nosegay for
coachman and outrider, which is be-
coming very popular. was introduced
here some time ago by one of the most
fashionable women. who changes her
flowers to match each costume. She has
violets upon the horses heads and the
men wear them also when she wears .
costume of that shade herself.
President and Mrs. Hobart arc
the most democratic of the new regime
as regards their habits. They drive
about in a hired conveyance and Mrs.
Hobart said Mr. Hobart intends to live
within his salary upon principle. AS yet
they have found no house furnished
which would admit of their doing SO.

Paterson house to have home here

Reform Needed

1t were absurd to say that the house
of representatives has been in any real
sense a deliberative body during the
consideration of the tarip bill. This
measure has been damned through"
as they say in certain legislatures, in the
most approved whiplash style. Undpubt-
edly the haste of the house leaders has
been greatly increased in anticipation
of the inevitable and exasperating slow
ness of the senate. Clearly we have
reached a point where the procedure of
both branches needs reform in the inter-
ests of safe balance between them and
the normal working of parliamentary
structions.-Springfel (Mass.) Re-

INDEPENDENT FARMERS

Before the war it used to be said that
the farmer was the most Independent of
men. The crash of 1857 proved it true. 1t
was the business man, the professional
man and the banker that suffered then.
The farmer sat serenely back upon his
well-tilled acres and smiled at the ruin
around him. His store bills amounted to
almost nothing and were almost paid
with butter, eggs and other produce.
the small amount of paper he had in
bank was only for extra labor during
harvest and gave him little trouble to
take care of, while the wants of his
family were few, compared with those
of today. Yet he lived better in many
ways than the farmer of today and few
who sat at the old-time table will as
sert that the latter even lives as well.
He was the most independent of men,

A MUSICALE

The program, she informed me, was a
charming one, indeed,
From the splendid Wagner overture. which
nothing could exceed,
To the lovely little scherzo and the minuet
for strings.
And the latest bit of Dvorak, which made
her sigh for wings.
Throughout the Grieg concerto her emo
tion was intense;
It seemed to me at times she held her
breath in deep suspense;
She raved of opus this and that, of Schu-
bert, Bach, and List,
Beethoven, Brahms, Tschaikowski and a
score whose names l missed.
But when at last twas over and led her
down the stair
I noticed that beneath her breath she hum
med little air;
1t was not upon the program, being COM
monplace and tuny,
And 1 wondered at the sudden drop from
