The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed TO ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form Of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROot the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
Of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
by mail, also book telling about Swamp
Root and its wonderful cures. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. and

Points out the Way For Saving
Twenty Millions Annually.
Washington, Dec. 4.-The annual re.
port of Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith was made public last
night It's chief feature is a plea fol
congressional action to stop the abuse
of second class mail privileges, which
he says results in an annual waste OF
upwards of S20,000,000. The financial
exhibit for the fiscal year shows total
expenditures of s101 .632, 161 and total
receipts of $780, 1884, the deficiency
being $2,422747 less than last year
The postmaster general says in part:
"There are many improvements and
advances waiting development and ap-
plication; opportunities for speedier
transmission and delivery; fields for
broadening the scope of the mail SER
vice and bringing closer home to the
people possibilities of reduced postage
but above and beneath and beyond all
is the redemption of the special con-
cession which congress granted for a
distinct and justifable object from the
fungus growths and the fragrant evils
that have fastened upon it,

Washington, Dec 4.--The annual re-
port of the secretary of the navy is a
document Of unusual interest, dealing
not only with the work OF the navy
during the past year and important
recommendations for the future, but
also discussing the more important
questions relating to the navy, includ-
ing the authorization Of IS new war
ships, the imperative need Of special
legislation in the early days of con-
gress for armor OF the best quality
that can be obtained. and the proposi-
tion that the thanks Of congress be
given to the commander-in-chief of the
North Atlantic squadron and to the Of
fcers and men under his command for
the part they took in the operations
at Santiago On this subject the Sec
retary says:
"While those engaged in the battle
OF Manila have been deservedly re-
warded-and no men ever deserved re-
ward more richly-those who took part
in the operations at Santiago, display
ing the same conspicuous conduct and
extraordinary heroism. have received
no recognition whatever for their
great services except the recommenda-
tions for promotion by the president
which have elapsed, not having been
acted upon by the senate.
THE department believes it due to
these gallant men to suggest to you
that the thanks of congress be given
TO the mmander-in-chief of the
North Atlantic squadron and to the Of
ficers and men under such command.
The North Atlantic squadron was
charged with great and eXacting
duties. 1t was a campaign of great
scope and enormous responsibilities,
and was brought to a successful and
glorious consummation, which termi-
mated the war by the destruction of the
Spanish sea power. 1t was marked
by unsurpassed precision, brilliancy
and vigor."

To DISFRANCHISE THE
-.. COLORED VOTERS.
North Carolina Decides on an
Amendment Limiting
Suffrage.

So Especial Dispatch to The 1nterocean)
RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 18th.-An
addition to the constitution of North
Carolina limiting suffrage has been
adopted by both branches of the
General Assembly, 1t passed the
House yesterday by vote of 81 to
Fl and the Senate today by vote
of al to 6. Before becoming a part
of the constitution, however, it must
be submitted to vote of the people
of the state. This will be done at
the next general election, which, un-
der the new election law, will be
held in August 1901 sr4,.s, a~ue.. j
@ The avowed object of the amend
ment is to eliminate the ignorant
negro vote. To do this educational,
property, and poll-tax qualifications
are prescribed. To prevent the dis
franchising of white, voters a further
provision is made that any person
can vote weether he possesses the
other qualifications or not, provided
he or his ancestors could have voted
on Jan: I, 1867 ..,..
It will be easily seen that the sole
object Of the people of North Carolina
is to .disfranchise the colored voters of
his rights, given him by the late Civil
war, and guaranteed by the United
States constitution. The right of suff-
rage is privilege that all American
citizens should enjoy, in fact it cannot
be republican form OF governments
and thus denied. We think that the
entire state of North Carolina should
be disfranchised until the people come
to their senses. @ +
