From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
There has been greater Improvement in
the relations between the north and south
in the past few months than during all the
previous thirty-odd years. The Spanish
war removed the last remnant of 'the
bloody shirt" and those who have lived by
occupation now gone.
1t will be remembered how, when in
Cleveland's first administration, a pcoposi-
ton was made by the war department to
give up the confederate or so-ealled 'irebel'
flags, there was an cutlery against it hun
dreds Of northern papers. 1t is quite diff
ferent today, and the last lingering bitter
ness OF the war seems to be dying away.
When, the other day, Governor Stone
Of Pennsylvania was asked to sign a petit
tion asking that one of our new men-of-war
be named Getty sburg, after the union vic
tory, he declined to do it. mo American

1.-THE north and south are united, and

pointed to a relic of the civil war which

adjoining the commentaries office. This
was a part of the ram Mississippi. For

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant. Simple, Safe But Effectual
Cure for 1t.

Cataarh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloated
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery rising, forma-
ton of gases, causing pressure on the lungs
and heart and difficult breathing; head
ache tickle appetite, nervousness and a
general played out and languid feeling
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of stom-
ach could be seen it would show a Shiny,
infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
disease is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily and thorough
ly digested before 1t has time to ferment
and irrtate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach
10 secure a prompt and healthy dlges-
ton is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet composed of Diastre, Aseptic
Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit
acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being pat
ent medicine, can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy appetite
regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn street.
Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh Is O local
condition resulting from neglected cold In
: mead, whereby the lining membrane of
the is3se becomes inflamed and the poison-
Gus discharge. therefrom passing back into
the throat, reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me three years
for catarrh of the stomach without cure,
but today 1 the happiest of men after
using only one box of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets. I can not find appropriate words
to express my good feeling I have found
flesh, appetite and sound rest from their

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form Of

oAKMAN RAPIDLY GROWING.
Contract for College Building Will be
Let in a Few Days.

Oakman, April 11.-(Special.) -President
c. B. Williams has received a letter from
versity of Alabama, accepting his invita-
ton to deliver the literary address for Oak

ment, May II.
Oakman college is rapidly growing. The
trustees will, in a few days, let the con-
tract for the new college, which promises
to be one of the prettiest in the state.
The coal fields in the surrounding coun-
try are rapidly being opened up. 1t is said
on very good authority that contract for
three hundred houses to be built at Par
ish will be let in a day or so, and possibly
has already been let.
A restaurant and two new stores have
been opened in the past few weeks. Three
new handsome residences are in course of

ers. At the Washington navy yard, for
instance, this inscription is on one of the
big guns at the very entrance: Captured
from the Anglo-rebel pirate Florida
This is not only an insult to the south
and to England, but an absolute falsehood.
The Florida was a confederate cruiser, and
the application of the word pirate" to 1t
is an infamy that the government of this
country will be held responsible for until
the insulting and mendaodous words are
removed.
The secretary of the navy would do well
to detail Rear Admiral Philip to the Wash
ington navy yard to overhaul some of the
inscriptions there
