there are other grave national and

consideration and action, and, judg-
Ing from appearances, THY are to

One Of the matters is the arbitra-

Stage, although no longer an attrac-
zion. Senator Morgan has spcn.
several fruitful and blessed months
in viviseoting this strange creature,
ofa kind seldom, if ever, before
seen in the United States. In the
course of the treatment its whole
countenance has been altered, and
entirely new and harmless insides

on the Christians in Crete. Other
senators take much the same happy

Chandler's extreme attitude life is
too short to include action upon it;

reasonable trick, can be expressed
in absolute rejection, or in ratifica-

PLAN Truth.

How are the mighty fallen. Wat
terson, the intellectual giant, has
succumbed to the blighting influence
ofthe gold power. and the voice that
had for long years been heard
throughout the land in defense Of
the rights of the masses is now silent,
save as the cry Of the cuckoo. The
trenchant pen that for long years he
had welded against every form of
oppression, is now laid aside at the
dictation Of that same power that is
crushing out manhood, debasipg
womanhood, and knawing at the
vitals of Republican institutions on
American soil; And unless we shall
determine to avail ourselves of the
constitutional right to redress at the
ballot box, the evils that beset US,
and resolve through that medium
to preserve the blessings of liberty
bequeathed US by the fathers. we
should strike from the records the
eloquent and glowing words of the
lamented Garfield which, in the light
Of recent events, are now but jest.

OF freemen 10 linked by the indisoluble
bonds Of necessity to the pillars Of the

II. your stomach poisons your liver the
conquences may be serious.
What poisons arise in your stomach come
from undigested food which has decomposed
there. They are absorbed by your blood
and go to your liver, where they paralyze
its functions and make you bilious
Finally they go into the blood again and
are carried ali over the body, disordering
your different organs, and perhaps making
you dangerously sick.
This is the origin of many diseases which
are not always known for what they are.
The poisons of undigestee food can only
be got rid of by the use of purifying,
strengthening, digestive tonic like the Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial.
A few doses of this wonderful cordial will
soon clear away all undigested, fermenting,
poisonous substances, restore your appetite,
aid you to digest your food, purify your liv-
er and blood of all dangerous poisons, and
restores YOU to perfect health.
1t will cure biliousness, indigestion, nausea,

Indian DepredatIons.

A young man who left this city some
time ago to make his fortune in the gold
mines of Alaska has just returned with an
awful story of suffering and hardship. 1t
is as follows:
The United States statutes forbid the
landing of liquors in Alaska except for
medicinal purposes, SO the young man Sc
cured a permit from Collector Wise to car
ry five gallon key of whisky with him.
The collectors at Port Townshend and Ju-
neau allowed the liquor to pass, and the
prospector carried it inland several hun
dred miles In order to keep it safely while
out prospecting he buried it deep in the
snow, and on his return found it safe and
sound. He moved camp hundred miles
or more, and buried it again. Not finding
any claim worth working he struck far
Their inland and again buried his key a
hundred miles from civilization. When
he returned couple of weeks later, he dug
down in the snow, but could find NO
whisky. He kept digging, thinking it
might have sunk of it's own weight, but
still found no trace of his treasure. Fiji
teen feet below the point where it had been
buried he struck board, upon which was
written in fine Spencerian hand:
