disorders of the digestive organs, nine
tenths of the medical books in the world
could be safely destroyed. Not only the
minor maladies, but the majority of serious
diseases have their inception in disorder
ed digestion. Consumption is undoubtedly
the most deadly enemy with which man
kind has to contend Like all other vast
ing diseases, it has its origin in disorders
of the digestive organs. AS a result of these
disorders, the appetite falls off; the life-giv-
ing elements of the food are not properly
assinilated; the blood becomes thin and i'm
pure; and all the tissues of the body are i'm
perfectly and improperly nourished; the
lungs become clogged with inert, half dead
tissues that offer an attractive soil for the
invasion OF the germs of consumption. 1t
has been said thousands of times that con-
sumption is incurable. 1t is not.
Ninety eight per cent. of all cases of con-
sumption are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t corrects all disorders
of the digestive organs, invigorates the liver
and makes the appetite keen and the assim-
ilation perfect; it makes new blood, pure
blood, and lots of it. 1t builds new and
healthy tissue. # is the great flesh builder:

Good health is the best endowment
Those who have it cannot be too careful to

enemy of good health. It causes nearly
every disorder known to physicians. DR.

THE NEW RULE FOR GRAND
.TfTRIES.

The wisdom of the law recently pass
ed in this State forbidding Grand Ju-
ries to comment on matters Of accusa-
ton and crime, where they do not pre-
sent true bills, is now apparent. The
Sacramento Grand Jury has just sub
mitted it's report, but there is in it not
a line of personal comment or criticism
of men and officers that is not within
the law.
This jury was one of exceptional
strength and character. 1t must be
assumed that it did not go into Of
flee with revenges to accomplish or
friends to reward or prejudices to work
off, if we are to judge from its acts and
its report. Heretofore Grand Jury re-
ports have often been loaded down
with lot of scandalous matter that
never amounted to anything beyond
temporary sensation. That is to say
no prosecutions or reforms have, with
rare exceptions, grown out of these
dragnet and unrestrained assaults up
on people from the safe vantage of the
jury room.
Usually Grand Jury report made a
fat volume and usually it consisted
mainly Of attacks upon officials and
expression of pique concerning officers
and public men who We're not indicted.
presented nor accused. There was al
ways a long lot of gush about reforms
~ 4
sirable in most cases-but so presented
and argued in these reports as TO be
of no more than passing value. There
would have been sufficient excuse for
these sweeping criticisms if there had
been provided any way for carrying
out the suggestions. In that respect
the machinery of the law appears to
have been all along very defective.
AS long. therefore, as the ideas en-
bodied in the reports could not be made
effective; so long as those complained
against We're not indicted nor accused.
and were given no opportunity to reply
and to prove their innocence the old
time Grand Jury reports became the
vehicle of grave injustice. 1t smirch-
ed character and left the victims inca
pable Of answer and clearance. These
reports. as is notorious, also We're made
the means Of political punishment, of
working revenges and visiting dislikes
to say nothing of voicing prejudices
and the personal grievances of men.
We are glad. therefore. that the law
now confines the Grand Inquest
strictly to business, and forbids il
any more to gush in bad English and
worse grammar, concerning men and
officials whom the jury cannot accuse
and bring to the bar of justice II
the Grand Jury has before it sufficient
evidence to justify ii in indicting any
person, ii is its duty to indict no mat
ter who that person may be. If it has
not proof sufficient to indict, then IL
is common justice to refuse to 1t the
privilege of commenting in it's report
upon the person and the matter in
quired into.

The Boston journal thinks, and We
agree with it, that it would be de-
cided Improvement if the Presidential
veto power was extended as is that of
the Governor in California and some
other States, so as to authorize him to
disapprove of distinct items in the APP
preparation bill without killing the
whole measure. The system works well
with us; why would it not be well for
the whole nation? AS the journal
remarks: 1T would then be possible
for the President to check extravaganza
without mountaineering some depart
ment of government" More than that,
it would enable the President to break
up the disgraceful rider" practice by
which appropriation bills are made to
carry on their backs matters and

ABUNDANT HORSES.

Horses up in the State of Washing
ton are so plentiful that they can be had
for from 80 cents to 81 head. The rea-
son is that the east Washington ranges
are full of horses which have greatly
multiplied in recent years, have run wild
and are really becoming a nuisance be-
cause they consume food of the ranges
needed for sheep and cattle.
This condition suggests to the Seattle
"Post-Intelligencer" the idea of hunting
them as is other game, and putting their
flesh upon the market. 1t holds that
the horse is a clearly animal, his food
nature no diseases; his flesh is palatable
and nutritious. If the Washington
horses continue to run wild they will
deteriorate in several respects, grow
smaller and lose in strength and powers
of endurance. That is they will in GER
tain degree move back toward the an
cestry from which they came.
The first horse was little larger than
hare we are told, and it was a very
long time before he attained the size
of a sheep. He has steadily increased
in stature and strength, but he was al
ways a fleet animal, and he has pre-
served his characteristics along periods
of time in which other animals have lost
their original character. and have
mingled with other life, so that they ap-
pear to US to-day with scarcely any of
their original features.
But while the wild horse will
run down in size, he will still be the
horse and as such always remain. He is
over plentiful now, but with the disap-
pearance of certain beasts of burden in
countries where the horse is little used
for carrying he will come into demand
to take up the task the camel and the
Indian OK and the elephant will lay
down as they go out, and going out they
surely are. In the meantime there is no
reason of which we can conceive why
the surplus horse from free ranges, in
the vigor OF life and untainted by dis
ease. should not be used as a food. Ger
tainly his flesh is more nutritious, as our
Seattle contemporary remarks, than
that of the deer, and very many people
hold it TO be fully as relishable.
