when such remedies are relied on.
Mr. H T. Shooc, 77o4 Lucas Avenue, ST I.ouis,
Mo. says: My daughter afflicted for years
with dishguring eruption on her face, which
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs but received no benz
fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with
out result until we decided to Try s. S S., and by
the time the first bottle finished the eruption
began TO disappear. dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth.
She is now seventeen years old, and not sign OF
the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
S. S. S. is positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. 1t is
che greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.
Bad blood makes bad cornplexions.

A Chance TO Sell Texas Lands.
The Sunset Central Lines, in
pushing the agricultural and farm
ing interests of the State to the
fore, have inaugurated several in
novations in order to reach the de-
sired end Realizing that it would
be useless 10 bring settlers into the
State unless lands could be secured
at reasonable figures, the Im1n,gra-
ton department of the Sunset
Central Lines, under immigration
Agent John Howard. has issued
a circular calling upon all persons
having land for sale to forward to
headquarters at Houston list of
the lands with description of loca-
ton and improvements. The cir
cular, which is signed by Passenger
and immigration Agent John
Howard, sets forth that lands with
out perfect title are not wanted;
also that commissions are not re-
ceived on sale of lands; and it
furthermore suggests that prices
quoted be adhered to for reason
able length of time. The object
of this move of the Sunset-Central
Lines IS to bring land sellers in
touch with people desiring to To-
cate in Texas. and is but another
lever which will work RI the nm
building of tins great State.
1t is urgently desired that all per-
sons having land for sale communi-
cate at once with immigration
Agent John Howard, at Houston,
Texas.

Constitution and Capriee.

Chicago Chronicle.
No Roman emperor, in the plenti-
tude of unques,ioned, absolute
power, ever made his personal will
more completely the constitution
of the Roman people than William
Mckinley his the law for the peo-
pie of the United States in all the
responsibilities he has thrust upon
them outside and in defiance of the
constitution.
Questions which the founders of
the republic intended should be
elucidated and adjusted by the peo-
pie themselves through their elected
representatives, Mr.. Mckinley has
assumed 20 settle with no other aid
than his personal caprice.
Yet we are told imperialism is not
a fact III the United States, actual
or prospective.
If substitution of the caprice Of
an executive for the deliberate
decision of congress be not I'M
perialism we shall have to look to
romance for definition. History
furnishes no other.

The Rice Exhibit at Paris.

c. G. Duson has just returned
from the Paris Exposition. He was
interviewed by the Picayune and on
the rice industry spoke as follows:
"Both Crowley and New Orleans
had rice exhibits in connection with
the United States agricultural dis
play. They showed up we'll. OF
course, China and Japan were there
in force on rice matters, and exhi-
bited the industry in every STAGE
How they sprouted the rice until
about 8 inches high, and then trans
planted it in the field, where it was
to grow. But. oh, my! Their
methods are SO primitive. Every
stalk was set out BY itself, and when
it came to harvesting each straw
was pulled and thrown over a line
to dry.
81 went to Paris thinking I
might learn something in planting
and irrigating rice. What a disap-
polntment! Why, we can teach the
whole world everything in irrigating
and harvesting. They are so far
behind us that there is no COM
parison. Their methods of culture
are curios,ties to the side of our
immense canal plants and our
modern reaPers for harvesting"

The members Of the Green Turtle
Club of New Orleans are making
large asses of themselves. 1t is
incomprehensible that an organiza
ton of rational beings can in
dulge in SO much nonsense. The
idea of a lot of clustering buffers
engaged in sending stupid threats to
a silly and historical girl 1000 miles
away is about the most ridiculous
thing we have heard of in many
years. The New Orleans Green
Turtle Club is evidently we'll
named because it unquestionably is
the most verdant aggregation in
the United States.

Times Democrat.
The philosophical observer Of
the Presidential campaign of 1900
cannot fail to be struck by the dis
tinctness with which the issues are
placed before the electorate. Dis
cussion of the personalities of the
candidates has been reduced to the
minimum, SO that the contest
hinges on the questions which mean
50 much for the welfare and perpe-
tuitv of the republic.
1t is needless to say that such a
condition of affairs is full of hope,
full augurv for the future of our
politics. Government by party is
the perfect fruit IF freedom; gov

most deadly weapon. In the sec

very low estate, and the Republi-
each of the opposing organizations
were found men Of irreconcilable
beliefs, while most of the leaders
were quite destitute of creed.
From the standpoint of the pluto

uuher the old order of things. The
trimmers stood aghast, as all pro.
posals OF compromise were rejected
with scorn. The line of battle was

trumpet which shall never call re-

the party instinct with energy and
conviction.
| During the interim, the purifica-
ton of American politics has pro-
ceeded with the sweep of the tides.
The war with Spain brought new
issues to the front, but the person
atty of the Democratic leader has
stood forth with ever increasing
distinctness. In 1900, as in 1896,
the mat chless voice of the creates,

in opposition to all attempts a,

THE NEGRO and THE
SOUTH.

Daily States.
The Chicago Journal remarks tina It
these be exciting days tor the col
ored brother. ''Angry citizens got
after him in New Orleans; angry
citizens got after him in New York,
and angry citizens got after him in
Chicago. San Francisco has not yet
reported. The Journal very
frankly admits that Northern people
are not fonder of the negro than the
Southern people, yet the former
pretend to like him, while the lat
ter do not. Our Chicago contem-
porary says:s
GAS neither North nor South protested
against robbing him of his franchise in North
Carolina, it is doubtful whether PROPOSE
ton to disfranchise him in all the States
would arouse more than perfunctory OPP
position.
s.What is the use of the colored brother
like him any better educated than ignorant9
And are we?
The humanity that chased the colored
brother in Chicago, New York and New Or
leans is the same humanity that watched the
chickering's for the Roman holidays. The
veneer is SO smooth and glossy that we are
deceived at times. We like to be deceived.
GAS for the colored brother, slibbaty'
seems to be kind o'thng that don't agree
with him. What are we going to do with
him. He is more of problem than ever. I"
The people of the South are far
more friendly to the negro than
those of the North. He is gwen
every opportunity to enter the trades
and to make himself a useful and in
dustrious citizen, and SO long as he
behaves himself he is protected in
the enjoyment of the rights he has
under the law. In the North, how
ever, negroes are not permitted to
enter the trades, but are compelled
to make a living in men1al pursuits.
All things considered, the negro
finds his real friends among the
white people Of the South and not
among those of the North.

The correspondent of the Plea
yune paints a bright picture OF
North Louisiana, as the following
extract shows:
ssThe people of North Louisiana pros
porous and happy. They now talk of good
crops, good prices, good business, prosper
Gus times and plenty. They talk of better
roads, better schools and public improve
ments, and keep up with the best market
prices. Most Of the farmers are in much
better financial condition, and say they are
not willing to accept lower prices for cotton,
and they intend to hold it for fair price.
ssThe last few years a great number OF
large mills have gone into active opera
ton in north Louisiana, employing large
number of hands. Therefore the farmers in
the vicinity find new market for all kinds
of farm products
Several years ago the section al.
luded to in the above was visited
by a disastrous drouth. The Ga
zette is glad to note that that sec
ton has entirely recovered and is
in prosperous condition, as it has
the welfare of the State at heart and
is always happy to know that the
people of fair Louisiana are doing
