CATCHING COLD.

The philosophy of cold is arrest of
the secretions of the skin and. mucus
membranes. The nervous respiratory
explosion. called sneezing, denotes that
the sensitive lining of the nasal cavities
Is irritated, and that the general func-
tons have been interfered with.
The causes that underlie cold are
decline of vital force and the impover-
ishment of the blood. The scientific medi-
cal world knows that when all the forces
and functions of the body are at par,
cold, under ordinary circumstances,
is almost impossible
The remedy which will keep the vital
force at par, and thus enable the system
to ward of colds, Ia grippe, and other dis
eases. is DIR. IIarter's Iron Tonic. 1t
replenishes the supply of iron, which is
the fighting element of the blood.

SOUTH oARoIINA's SHAME.

I: The country at large will be entitled to
its own opinion with respect to the un-
dignified and discreditable performance In
the Senate the other day and that opin-
ion will not be favorable to q body which
ought to1s set an example Of dignity and
correct department to the world. We are
not sure but that it would have been the
proper way IL all the Senators and on
ciafs had stood off and allowed the two
rambunctous South CarolinianS to bat
ter each other to their hearcs' content.
Such a course would not have lowered
the dignity of that BODY more than was
done by the two principal actors in the
scrimmage.
The plain. truth, of the matter is that
which has sent to the Senate some Of the
r. eatest statesmen the country has ever
seen. For a year or more they have been
In continual wrangle, and have kept
the entire state in turmoil with their
quarrels and determinations. On the
stump and at various other times and
places they have used much more often
sive language to and about each other
than was done in the Senate, and each
submitted to the insults. That they should
as the place for an exhibition of their
brutality was in accord with their ma
lures. They either wanted to get them
selves talked about or else they knew
that no serious harm to either would be
allowed. Their talk about duel was an
other grand stand play, and their mouth
ings are those Of couple of prize-fight-
ers.
We have little sympathy with McLaurin.
He had all the advantages of birth, edu-
TilIman's lieutenants and obeyed all his
orders until he probably thought himself
strong enough to 90 it alone. He thought
he could be the whole thing in South
Carolina, but was mistaken. He has let
himself down to level with his colleague
who has shown himself one of the most
blatant and vulgar demagogues who ever
occupied a seat in the Senate. The two
of them have come to be a pair, and we
see that one 10 worse than the
other.
1t is pity that South Carolina is not
able to get rid of both her Senators and
take new start. But in the present
which prevail In the politics of
that State. We do not know that better
men would succeed them. If the Senate
should expel them there is little reason to
hope that they would not be reelected,
or that their places would not be filed
by some of the same kind. This is the
day of cheap politicians in South Caro-
lima, and the State which once stood pre-
eminent for the talents and character of
her statesmen is now at the mercy of the
demagogue. We pity South Carolina and
with the Senate.
