Jackson Miss. March 30.-The crevasse

tant principles of hygiene and health is
the acknowledged necessity of a good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences of millions of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is " far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the inn
pure condition of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
mcnt and breathing vitiatcd air in Of
flee. store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery OF life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies, vital
ICES and elsviches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out of the back,
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as
simulated.
Don't wait till you are thoroughly
sick before you begin to take Spring
Medicine.
Lock the door before the horse is
stolen.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla now as a
preventive and it will pay you thou
sand fold in health and strength through
the coming summer.

without finding any which gave me re.

great deal of soreness. My stomach
was badly affected; had strong symp-
toms of sciatica. The rheumatic pain
combined with neuralgia made life q
burden. My muscles contracted and
became alarmed about my condition.
Last spring l saw your medicine adj
vertised and concluded to try 1t. After
taking three bottles all pain left me
and my joints and muscles began to
straighten. My stomach grew rapidly
better and as I continued taking the
medicine the neuralgia in my head en-
tirely left me. I am s. years old and
have not been so free from rheumatic
pains for 40 years as I am at present.
l have taken 10 bottles and feel that It
has done wonders for me. I would
recommend it to all suffering from
rheumatism. Respectfully,

REVENUE OF THE STATE.

An act in relation to the taxation OF
railroad corporations, now before the
General Assembly, promises to add con-
siderably to the revenue of the State, in
case it becomes law.
1t seems anomalous that the State has
permitted so much valuable property to
remain untaxed until this time. 1t has
always been wellknown, in the case of
railroads for instance, that the real estate
and Improvements thereon constitute but
= small part OF the capital, yet the rolling
stock and property in other forms have
escaped assessment. The bill I'm relation
to railroads is but one of number recon-
mended by the commission on the revenue
OF the State appointed by the last Legis-
iature. Other bills take cognizance Of
electric roads, electric lighting companies,
banking concerns, manufacturers and
other forms et property, and If they are all
adopted the State viii Doubtless soon be
well provided with revenue.

GRANT DAY.

Next week will see one of the noblest
and most imposing celebrations in the
history OF America. Patriotic people from
all parts Of the conntry will gather to do
honor to the memory of Gen. Ulysses s..
Grant, commander of the Union forces and
twice President of this republic The oc-
casion will be more than one of local I'm
portance, for the eyes of the world are
fixed on New York, and diplomats from
man. foreign lands will be present to help
honor the 1sGIe Of the man who stands
eide by ....3..s with Washington and Lincoln
in the love of the American people.
This monument to Gen. Grant has been
slow in rearing, but now that 1t has
reached completion it Is the admiration
of the nation. Grant himself, plain,
straightforward citizen, might possibly
have preferred to lie in a quiet, retired
grave, but the nation that honors him will
not have il so. The celebration that is to
mark the dedication of the monument will
attest the love and reverence in which the
great Americans memory is held. No
COMMON tomb is good enough for Grants
dust in the minds of his countrymen.
Rhode Island will bear her part in the
ceremonies. The Legislature has apprc-
psiated a sufficient amount of money to
enable her to have fair representation.
II the Rhode Island troops go to New York
with one half the zeal and enthusiasm dis
played by the Rhode Island troops of 1851
there will be no dearth of patriotism. We
think the State will make a creditable dis
play. The home of Burnside can furnish
patriotism of as high an order as any State
in the Union. Gen. Grant, during the
sombre and melancholy days of the rebel
lion, laid great dependence upon the fight
ing qualities and heroism of the sons of
Rhode Island.
With a cruel war raging in the East |
Americans cannot but feel thankful on
this occasion that the Union is as strong
and integral today as it ever has been. |
But for such men as Grant America today |
might be a shiftless and purposeless as
semblage of ill-governed and tottering ma
tions.

AMERICANS AND VICTORIA.

The coming jubilee OF Queen Victorii
has given rise to story that, II true, is not
at all a displeasing one. 1t is that rich
Americans propose to present her with q
testimonial to cost not less than 81 SOC, 600
Just what the present will be Is not yet
decided, but il Is stated beyond peradvent-
ure the gift will be ready on the date Of
the Queens jubiiea.
Why should not Americans do this?
There Ia nothingO of Anglomania about 1t.
The Queen, surrounded by adverse in
duences, has been continual and persist
ent friend of America. She sympathized
deeply with the federal government during
the war of the rebellion, and has frequently
given testimony of her esteem in substan-
tial ways. IL Americans should desire to
large sum of money to honor
Gladstone, for instance, we would be in.
,lined to object, for the grand old man,
,rand I'm many ways, we recall, took sides
With the confederate cause Ia the American
var of the rebellion. But we will be glad
o see Victoria honored, and we hope the
um raised will be fully equal to expecta-

a brave lot ars ile Turks. We learn
that women and children are employed by
them as shields to protect the Turks fro,r
Greek fire. Incidentally this is Turkish
compliment to Greece, for no Turk would
let he.rless woman or child stand be-
tween him and an enemy. He evidently
thinks that the Greek is more humane
than himself and therein he is nearer to
the truth than he gets in most matters.
But perhaps he looks upon such sentiment
as weakness.

savage Turks-whose ruler overran Europe

pean Christianity sees these same Turks
slaughtering fellow Christians and lends
its aid even to the deed.
Is it too bold for us TO say that we hope,
il the Turk conquers Greece, his appetite
for Christian blood will only be whetted
for more and that his hordes will again
swarm over Europe?

Boston Republic: Distinguished honors
were bestowed upon Bishop Harkins of
Providence this week by the clergy and
laity under his episcopal Jurisdiction
The tenth anniversary Of his censecration
was celebrated on Tuesday, and the gifts
from priests and people were numerous
and substantial. But thelimost valuable
gift was the assurance of veneration, re-
spect and loyalty which all the Catholics
OF the diocese took occasion to express
publicly and privately.
The Chicago-Times Herald says that
"the people are looking for a currency
commission to be appointed by the Presi-
dent" The people are doing nothing of
the sort. They don't care fig about COM
missions. What they want is the redemp-
tion of the pledges made by the Republi-
can party and the Republican President.
They heard no pledge or promise to ap-
point currency commission. They heard
loud promises of prosperous times and
plenty OF money for everybody. These
promises have not been redeemed. The
currency question was the leading issue of |

THE STATE HOUSE TO BE.

After months Of excitement, parings
down of bills and gubernatorial fuss and
feather, we are at last told that the new
State House is not going to be 80 beautiful
q structure after all. There Is to be no
rounded and graceful dome, no terraced
gardens, no superfiuous adornments OF any
kind. This Is result of look at the
gigantic bill that was to be presented to
the State IL the original designs OF the
commission had been carried out. The
State took q glance at it; and the state
shuddered. It could not stand the price.
30 disappear all our vain boasts In AIR

dome, sans terraces. It's plumage clipped

would have dome, terraces, sidewalks,

fact, peedful to make luxurious and
comfortable home for State solons. But
the commissioners got OF the track some
where. The money that was said TO be
sufficient to erect the building with all Its
appurtenances and ornaments did not
upet ahe bills. More must be forthcom-
