IF Hardeman County is
detached from the Tenth
Congressional District and
attached to the Eighth, it
will not be because the rank
and file of the democracy of
this County desires the
change, for they are content
to remain in the Tenth; nor
because the Eighth is anx-
ious for the addition, as the
following editorial from the
Jackson Wing Of February
22nd states:
The proposition to detach Harde-
man County from the Tenth Con-
gressional District and add it to the
Eighth, is not popular scheme as
might be supposed. 1t is true that
Hardeman has a good democratic
majority, which might, at some
time, have been worth something to
the Eighth, but this district can be
regarded as safely democratic under
most all conditions likely to arise.
And then, in so far as population
is concerned, the district has all
that is needed and there is no reason
for making the change except for
political reasons. We do not be-
lieve that Hardeman is particularly
anxious for change, and taking the
several counties Of the Eighth as a
whole, there is no healthy sentiment
faVoring the matter. The redistrict-
ing committee should handle such
business as this gIngerly, and not
listen too much to the demands of
interested politicians.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
j. L. yin Nashville American.

In speaking OF the Sra1u
ovation given Jefferson Da-
Wis on his appearance at the
unwilling of the Confederate
Monument at Montgomery,
Ala, in 1886, Gov. Thomas
Watts said of the memorable
historic incident, In which
sSecretaly Dana and Gen.
Miles figured SO unenviably,
and for which they have late
| ly been subjected to merited
rebuke:
cat the table some one ask
ed Mr.. Davis to unbosom
himself in the privacy of that
inner circle, and tell them Of
his feelings and experiences
during his incarceration at
Fortress Monroe. As Mr..
| Davis told the story Of his
imprisonment and the out
rage perpetrated on him when
they put him in irons, his
eyes flashed, and, drawing
himself to his full height,
he said, his voice quiv=
ering with emotion:
q" Gentlemen, when | saw
them bringing the shackles,
knowing how helpless [ was,
[ resolved to submit quietly
to my fate. But as the ac-
cursed things touched my
hands, [ realized that they
were not meant for me, but
for the South, for my people
and-God help neil struck
the william who bore them to
the earthI And it was only
when brute force had over
come noe that they wrought
their will upon me-
The doughty Dana made
true report that Mr.. Davis
was imperious in demeanor
when put in duress, and that
he resisted violently the un-
warranted and cruel mama
cling of his limbs. No other
conduct was possible to the
high-bo gentleman that he
was, the dauntless Chieftain
of a devoted and chivalric
people.
Mr.. Davis was captured
May 10, 1865, and after two
weary years Of military pris-
on life-dOubtless the unhap-
piest period Of his entire ex-
istence-he was liberated on
bond May Is, 1867; the great
souled Horace Greedy becom-
ing his bondsman. tie was
brought to trial, a nolle pros
equi having been entered by
the Government in December
1868. He was also included
in the general amnesty Of that
month; hut his political disa=
bilities were never removed
and it is said he died without

quoted some skeptical remarks he
thought he had discovered in one of
Johnson's speeches in the State Leg
islature years before. Johnson an
swered that if it were true that he
were a Deist, which he denied, he
had never been expelled from the
Methodist Church on motion of
William G. Brownlow and asked
Hayne if he could say as much.
Though the Wings endorsed Iayne
1t availed nothing. Johnson had
too firm a hold on that mountain
constituency for personalities such
as those to endanger his seat in the
national councils. He was trium-
phantly elected, and became the
pride and the hope of the Tennessee
Democracy.
No man ever loved the Union of
the American states more devotedlv,
or more unselfishly, than did An
drew Johnson. The impeachment
proceedings against him in 1865 was
one of the outrages of American
politics. 1t was the good genius of
the American people that prevailed
in that greatest Of American state
trials. The country will ever be
grateful to those Republican sena-
tors who sank the partisan in the
judge. Of all the accusers, Benja-
min f. Butler was the only one
who got any glory out of it. The
trial left Bingham, Boutelle and Lo-
gan in worse condition than before,
in that it revealed to the country
how infinitely below Butler the
greatest of them was as lawyer, as
a statesman and as a party leader.
Stevens may not be considered. He
was on the verge of the grave during
the whole of the trial. His speech,
or the greater portion of it, was
read by another, and there were on
ly few passages of it that were re-
minders Of the virile old giant who
had led the House through the
stormiest epoch of our history. But
the future historian who shall deal
with the Impeachment of Andrew
Johnson owes Stevens a great debt
in that it was he who forced Butler
on The others as one of the managers
on the part of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Old Ben was both hat
ed and feared and not considered as
altogether respectable; but Stevens
knew that Butler had more brains,
more impudence, more audacity,
than all the other Republican man
ayers together, himself excluded.
and he further knew that it requir-
| ed a combination of brains. audaci
ty and impudence to impeach the
President of the United States on a
charge of bad manners, for that is
what they impeached Andy for. 1t
was well for the country that it fail
ed. American history, when ii Is
written, as it will be- revealing the
truth as it was. and giving every
man his proper station, will disclose
Andrew Johnson among the front
rank of our very great men.

Bruce has been in Galesburg some

with typhoid fever at the Galesburg

His actions of late have been such as
to create belief that he is demented.
He has made threats to the nurses and
it has been necessary to restrain him.
He is worse after the use of tobacco.

Bruce seems temporarily unbalanced

A NEW DEPARTURE.
New, EnsotuaI aud Convenient Cure
For CatArrh.

For Catarrh.
OF cltarrh remedies there is no end,
but of catarrh cures there has always
been n great scarcity There are
many remedies to relieve, but very
few that really cure.
The old practice of snufiiug salt
water through the nose would often
relieve and the washes, douches,
powders and inhalers in common use
are very little if any better than the
old fashioned salt water douche.
VIM. zimmerman, of St. Joseph,
relates an experience with catarrh
which is of value to millions of ca
tarrh sufferers everywhere. He says:
IL neglected a slight nasal catarrh
until it gradually extended to my
throat and Bronchial tubes and ii 1aily
even my stomach and liver became
affected, but as was able to keep up
and do a days work l let it run along
until nv hearing began to fail me,
and then / realized that l must get rid
of catarrh or lose my position, as I
was clerk aud my hearing was abso-
lutely necessary.
"Some of my friends recommended
an inhaler, another catarrh salge,
but they were no good in my case
nor was anything else until 1 heard
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
bought package at my drug store
~ benefited me from the start and
in less than four months / was COM
Eletely cured of catarrh, although
had suffered nearly all my life from
it.
They are pleasant to take and so
much more convenient to use than
other catarrh remedies that feel L
cannot say enough in favor of Stuart's
Cltarrh Tablets"
The use of inhalers aud the appli-
cation of salves, washes and powders
to the nose and throat to cure cat arrh
is no more reasonable than to rub the
back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh
is Just as much blood disease as
kidney trouble or rheumatism aad it
cannot be cured by local treatment
any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the
head, throat or stomach. an internal
antiseptic treatment is necessary to
drive the catarrhal poison out of the
blood and system, and the new catarrh
cure is designed on this plan and the
success of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets is because being used inter
naliy, it drives out catarrhal infection
action upon stomach, liver
and bowels.
A little book on cause and cure of
catarrh will be mailed free by adj
dressing f. A. Stuart company, Mar
shall, Mich, and the tablets are sold
by all druggists in the United States
and Canada

STILES BROTHERS ARE
GIVEN THEIR LIBERTY

After over three months incarcers-
ton in the county Jail upon the rec
ommendation of the coroner's jury
that examined into the death of Carl
Wendt, of Cordova, the Stiles broth
ers were freed yesterday afternoon by
Sheriff Cralle as soon as the report of
the grand jury was made showing
that an indictment had not been re-
turned against them.
When the grand Jurors report was
being brought in the notes of violin
played by one of the brothers could
be plainly heard in the court room.
The news of their liberation was a
surprise to them and they left the Jail
without definite plans as to the future.
They Immediately started for Daven-
port, however. to catch the afternoon
Milwaukee train to Princeton, where
their launch and fishing outfit were
left in the care of a relative.
The Stileses made friends of AL with
whom they were brought in contact
while in Jail and Sheriff Cralle says
they were the best behaved quartet of
prisoners ho ever handled. Their
here was entirely in ac-
dordance with the reputation the
sheriff found they possessed in their
native Calhoun county.
So far the Wendt murder remains
an unsolved mystery.
