Is it Right For an Editor to Re
commend Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of Il newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as q proven
tive of suffering we feel it duty
to say good word for Chamber
Jams ColIc, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. We have known and
used tins medicine in orr family
for twenty years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases a
dose of this remedy would save
hours of suffering while physician
is awaited. We do not believe in
depending implicitly on any medi-
cine for a cure. but we do believe
that if a bottle of Cham berlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on
hand and administered at the in
ception of an attack mnch suffer
ing might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of a physi-
clan would not be required. At
least, this, has been our experience
during the past twenty years: For

The Treaty of Tien-Tsin-A Chap
ter of Modern History
Reviewed.
By DR.. r II Fleming I

At the opening of the British
Parliament February 3, 1857, the
speech from the throne stated THAT
acts of violence, insults to The flag
and infractions of treaty rights,
committed by the local authorities
at Canton, China, had rendered il
necessary for her Majestv's officers
in China to have recourse to force
to obtain satisfaction"
The Arrow was small boat
built on the European model. On
October s, 1865, a Chinese officer
with % SIN all force boarded the Ar
row, in the Canton river. Twelve
men charged with piracy were TAX
ell off.
The owners of the Arrow claim
ed British protection on the ground
that the beat was English. The
Chinese governor, however, estab-
llshed the fact that it was Chinese
boat which had by false pretenses
obtained the temporary possession
of the British flag.
The English consul, Parks, was
a fussy man. He demanded. the
restoration Of the captured men.
Sir John Bowering, the British !
1T Hong Kong, demanded |
not only the return of the men;
and a pledge that such act would |
ever be committed again. The i
Chinese governor, Yeh, sent back
the men. with a promise that care
should be taken that no British
vessel should be visited improperly
by the Chinese: But he c0nld not
apologize in the case because the
Arrow was a Chinese vessel.
The result was that Canton was

L Vas considered great dcsideratum,
as of late years much has been said and
written concerning the harshness of the
American speaking voice, special criti-

and children.
The work OF this society is done by

the personal efforts of members III es-
tablishing a standard Of excellence for
a correct use of the voice in convarSd-

Of elocution nor the teaching of singing,
but it lays a foundation for the study of
both. One of the women interested in
the work said yesterday:
More than half the singing voice is
used i'm speech, and the misuse of the
voice in speech is accountable for many
of the difficulties in singing. When the
schools begin Systematically to train
speaking voices there will be
a vast Improvement in the music. This
training can be given so easily and so
quickly that no extra time has to De al
lowed for it,"
The quality of tone used by parents
often has a decided effect upon children
and there is hardly another influence so

of tone used and demanded, or allowed,
by the teacher.

1t is the settled belief of men who
have spent their lives in this region
that the South is the next objective
OF the emigrating hordes of Europe.
The North, the Northeast, the North
west are as full nearly as they can
hold. Even in that part of the far
West susceptible to farming the best
lands have been pre-empted. To the
south these people, boiled over the rim
or the continental caldron, will natur-
ally flow. Rich lands thinly settled
and an equable climate with twelve
working months in the year are the
estimated attractions.
1t is believed by Southerners, too.
that the final disposition of the negro

monopollst, namely, labor He will be
brought into competition with a more,

than his own. He will be battling with

difficult to see. The negro NAV help
himself by emigration, or he may be
helped nationally to emigrate, but it is
not thought that he can be made to
develop qualities which he hasn't got
qualities which will be paramountIy
important to his success in so long and
bitter a contest. AS the white people of
the Pacific slope were threatened with
restitution from the cheaper and more
patient labor of the Chinese, so the.
Southern negro is threatened by
stronger and more patient labor from
Europe. 1t is pointed out that but for
the Chinese exclusion act the negro,
would have been in a bad case now, SO
far as Louisiana is concerned, for when
that act was passed coolie labor had
been imported to several huge planta-
