When Vardaman contends that
only the taxes of Negro should go
for Negro education, he says in
effect that only the dollars of Ne
groes shall be invested in the work
of making good citizens of a ma
jority of the people of Mississippi.
Would Vardaman be satisfied to
have only the moneys paid byfNe-
|groes devoted to their prosecution
when they are brought into court?
In a recent issue of The Star
of Zon, Bishop Hood read a forci-
bic lesson to candidates for the
editorship of the Star of Zion,
who desire to use it only as a step
ping stone to the Bishopric and
later Rev. E. George Biddle ad-
ministered a singing rebuke to
Ecclesiastical jingoism, the sac
rifice of gospel service to the
worldly honors of office and pow

jingoes are dead-weights to our
churches, and should not be en-
couraged.
Mr.. Fortune does well to offer
no apologies for his political
course in 1888 or for his record as
special Commissioner to Hawaii
land the Philippines. He was gov
erned by his conscience in support
ing Grover Cleveland at the time
he espoused that cause and his in
vestigations in our insular posses
sions are invaluable in giving our
government a clear. and co1npre-
hensive view of the conditions
that obtain there. The whole peo-
pie are proud of Mr.. Fortune and
recognize in him loyal and ca

THEORIES
ABOUT
CATARRAH
Peculiar Ideas Regarding a
Common Disease

Mark Twa!n's cure for q cold in the
head was simple, but he claims very
effective in his own case; his plan
was to eat nothing whatever for
twenty-four hours or presumably until
the trouble had disappeared
Although rot able to speak from
personal experienc as to the effect.
iveness of this treatmo ont, II certainly
has the merit of extreme economy,
but 1t occurs to us that the application
of 1t to a case of nasal catarrh might
be attended with difficulties.
Catarrh, as everyone knows, is a
chronic cold in the head, and Mr..
Twains treatment If It should become
fad, would make us a nation Of
fasters; an army, emulating the ex.
ample of the immortal Tanner who
achieved world wide fame by fasting
forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming ma.
tional disease and there 10 little doubt
but that errors in diet, particularly
overeating is a common cause.
Most people however are more inter.
ested in the cure Of the trouble than
in the cause, and modern medical
science has produced more effective
and less heroic remedies than Mr..
Twain's.
! Hydrastin Is now remedy, very
effective in some forms of catarrh.
Red Gum is another which on account
of It's antiseptic properties is very
valuable, while many severe cases of
Chronic Catarrh have been entirely
cured by the sanguin0ria or extract
of Blood root alone.
Within a year an enterprising chem.
list has combined all of these remedies
in tablet form, palatable and conven'
lent and the superiority of this tablet
over other catarrh remedies is so ap
parent that all druggists now carry
them in STOCK to supply the popular
demand.
They are called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and 1t is doubtful II any medi
cine has achieved a national popular
ity in so short time as this.
Smarts Catarrh Ttblets are useC
by thousands of travelling men becaus
they can be carried in the pocke
and used any time and in any quantlt
being free from cocaine, opiate or an.
poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat
from the disgusting secretions Of ca
tarrh, very often in a few hours time
For nasal catarrh they arc far super
ior 10 any wash, lotion or ointment the
use of which is often as inconvenient
and annoying as the disease Itself
For coughts colds, bronchial catarrh
and oatarrh of st mach these tablets
give immediate relief and a permanent
cure where lotions, douchos and in
halers make no impression whatever
This preparation is a boon TO ca.
tarrh sufferers and any druggist will
tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
is a remedy that has come to stay.
