ACUTE CATARRH.

The acute form OF catarrh is always
that congested condition of the mucous
membrane which takes place immedi-
ately upon taking cold.
CHRONIC CATARRH.
Chronic catarrh of the nose is thick
ened condition of the mucous msmbrane,
following the acute stage of the disease.
After acute catarrh has continued for
two weeks it naturally becomes chronic
At first the membrane i'm chronic catarrh
is but slightly thickened; but, as time
goes on without curing the disease, the
thickening continues until the mem
brane may be four or five times as thick
as in health. And in rare cases the
hypertrophy (thickening) continues un-
til the opposite surfaces, covered by mu-
cous membrane, at some points meet
and entirely close the nostrils, so that
breathing can take place only through
the mouth.

On the other hand. what strength has
the Republican party gained to Offset
this loss Of weakness BY the Democracy? =?
Very little, we fear The splendid and
successful conduct Of the war with
Spain has been sadly clouded by the
scandals Of mismanagement and favorit-
ism which attended that glorious con-
summation. The course Of the Admin
istration with reference Of Cuba and
the Philippines has lost the party many
stout and potent friends The strange
policy adopted toward Porto Rico has
outraged practically the entire country.
The Hay -Psunceforte treaty has still
further impaired Mr. McKinley's pres
tige, and its ratification should not only
disoredit the Government. but bring
contempt and odium upon the party.
In word, the situation. as It seems to
Us, is far more favorable to Mr.. Bryan
and far less favorable to Mr. Mckinley
than It was four years ago
What will happen within the next six
months, it is not for rs to prophesy.
Having no certainty, we speak no word.
But we assert. without fear Of contra

we know for a certainty, that thousands

Fourth Virginia District. is QUE Of the
most prominent politicians in the State.
He has attended every Republican con-
yention for the last twenty years and
has always been regarded almost with
reverence by the colored voters OF the
State. He was elected as an alternate
10 this convention, and was much dis.
gruntled over his defeat for first place
He began 20 make trouble soon after
she arrival Of the delegation In PhiIa-
deIphia. and when the delegates were
assigned to the quarters at the Lafayette
he protested TO the secretary Of the
delegation, Morgan Treat, on ac-
count Of Discrimination. Hot words
passed between the two. and but
for the interference of others this quar-
rel might have resulted seriously.
When Harris again began the quarrel,
Mr. Treat did not give him the same
consideration as before, and Harris was
elected from the rooms of the delega-
tlon.
Harris promises TO mako trouble for

Ice War In Tampa.

The ice war is now on in Tampa, and
one can keep cool for nominal price.
One factory gives notice that Ice will only
be ID cents n hundred at their factory.
From their wagons they will sell it for ~
cents. They will sell three hundred
pounds for 10 cents AT the factory These
prices are a material reduction in price,
and will be hailed with delight by the
consumers, for they have been FESTIVE
under the high. prices which have prevail
ed heretofore. This reduction is caused
by the fact that the Tropical Ice company
is not IA member of the combination which
has held the prices up. There are five
factories in the city, and they are all
apparently doing good business. \
great deal Is used for the fish business
and the cold-storage warehouses.
