Why not have Congress meet once

If it met only once in ten years the

The Lake Providence Banner
Democrat has this timely precaution
against the creation of useless posi-.
tons:
"The small crowd of lawyers who
met in Alexandria a few weeks ago
made regular middle of the great
reform 10 the judiciary of the State
which they were going to present to
the Constitutional Convention for
their consideration. Instead of re-
ducing the judiciary expenses these
lawyers proposed an Increase of
S33, 900 Just such actions as this
should open the eyes of the voters.
1t looked like they were out for the
purpose of taking care of their clan.'
Aud it may be added that these
sinecure positions are to be created
at the expense of the tax payers
for the sole benefit of those who
favor an expensive judiciary system,
and not for the pnblic good.

The Lake Providence Banner.
Democrat says: We want a new
Constitution badly, and nine-tenths
of the people of the State would
like to see one adopted that would
change the present suffrage law and
the judiciary system, if nothing
else; but, their hands should not be
tied, and it should be left to the
people whether or not the new Con.
st;tutiou should be adopted, and no,
be left to the Constitutional Con
vention to shove something off OF
the people that they would reject By
an overwhelming majority if it wa.
put to a vote.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE cuRED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion Of the ear. There is on. lly one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an unframed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube When this tube gets infiamed you have 8 rumbling sound or imperfect hear. ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca aIrh, which is nothing but infiamed Hcondition o1 the mucous surface.
