THE TRUTH THEN AND NOW.

pcrs are now attempting with fragrant disrc.
gard Of the truth. than any other explanation.
for II shows that by their own word and over
their " signature. the party in order to per.
petuatc itself in power, Is willing to call black
white or allegc falschood to tx the truth.
Hardly a Democratic paper in the state
did not confess the corruption and extrava.
gance Of our last legislature when in session;
more than half Of them have upbraidcd aud
condemned many Of the official acts Of the
governor. But now let a Republican paper
make the charge which their " organs made
prior to the campaign and all the pet rpithcts,
which can he mustered, are flung at its head.
The truth has become a lie, for lie who dares
impugn the honesty or doubt the capability Of
this machine. is guilty Of such sacri'egious
thought, as to Ike pcnalizcd with the stigma
Of a liar.
But black Is not 50 easily painted white, for
the people are not deceived. MOI are Repub'
licans who dare speak and expose the facts as
they exist, afraid Of being branded as speakers
of falsehood. confident that the business Of
their own cause and truthfulness Of their
charges will eventually be established in the
minds of the people. Dockery at Greenvillc
is said 10 have expressed his thanks that he
belonged to a party not wholly infallible.
Some Democratic papers refuse to concede this
statement as true. They not only deny that
the party ever made mistakes or had short

ing over this point is highly imaginary fight

proposition upon which any disagree.
While a certificate Of Indebtedness from a
reliable party Is the equivalent Of cash to the
party to whom issued. II represents a cores

The same is true Of a government or state

o CAN CURE IT.
A New Cure for Catarrh in Tablet
Form.

A New Cure for Catarrh in Tablet
Form.
The old-time treatment of catarrh
was in the form of douches or sprays;
later on internal remedies were given
with greater success, but being in liq-
uid or powdered form were inconven-
lent and were open to the same ob1ec-
ton to all liquid remedies, that is, that
they lose whatever medical power they
have had on exposure to the air.
The tablet is ideal form in which
to administer medication, but until re-
Gently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted.
At this writing. however, a most ex-
cellent and palatable remedy for ca
tarrh has been placed before the pub
lie and sold by druggists, called Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, composed of the
most recent discoveries in medicine
for the cure of catarrh, and results
from their use have been highly graf
flying.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
principally highly concentrated anti
septics, which kill the catarrh germs
in the blood and mucous membranes,
and il this respect are strictly scien-
tifc and modern, as it has been known
for some years past by the ablest ply
sieians hat the most successful ca
tarrh treatment was by inhaling or
spraying antiseptics.
The use of inhalers, douches and
sprays, however, is a nuisance n in
convenient. and moreover can in no
wise cOmpare with the same remedies
given in tablet form, either in efficacy
or convenience.
A clerk in a prominent insurance
office in Pittsburg relates his expert
ence with Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in
a few words, but to the point. He
saws: "Catarrh has been almost con
