SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 17. 1886.
Bismarck uttered a truism when he
said that it was easier to criticize than to
govern.
Pure Democracy will have a staunch
defender at the county convention. Gen-
eral John M. Claiborne will be there.
The attention of the police is respect-
fully called to sections 10 and 11, article
1, chapter 2, of the revised ordinances.
Local politics seem to be extremely
quiet,but hopes are entertained that men
can be found who will accept the county
offices.
Preparations for the big drill go
merrily on. Preparations must be made
to -‘eat and sleep” the biggest crowd ever
seen in Texas.
-- •
They do say that when
policeman is caught talking with one of
“them ere reporters” he is liable to be
peremptorily fired.
It seems that the Galveston police can
not distinguish between a case of conges-
tion of the brain and an aggravated case
of drunken paralysis.
’ The press of the state seems to be
pretty unanimous in the opinion that the
Austin Grays have not acted wisely in
the interstate drill matter.
Terrell says he is not attorney for
the Galveston Wharf Company. That
concern is to be congratulated. Now
let Axexander the Great deny that he is a
partner of Jay Gould.
American congressmen climbing each
others collars and usiog such terms as
liar, and d—d perjurer, is a sight to
make the star-eyed goddess go out behind
the woodshed and weep.
The thermometer at Dallas registered
107° in the shade yesterday, and the
heated air withered foliage like a blast
from a furnace. And yet Dallas wanted
the state convention to meet there in
August.
The interior papers continue t® cry
aloud for a sensible road law. Short .term
convicts to improve the public roads, and
the abolishment of the pernicious poll-
tax is the most sensible solution of the
problem yet offered.
If the government really wants Gero-
nimo captured why don’t it try the con-
tract plan? Sending regular soldiers, re-
cruited in the large cities, out to corral
a real, live Indian, is too much like giv-
ing a greenhorn a sack and sending him
to a swamp to catch snipe.
For awhile the organs of the bold de-
ficiency prophet were certain that he
would be nominated on the first ballot.
Finally they retired to the second, and
now they are equally positive- that Wil-
liam Jesse will get there on the third.
Keep retrograding, gentlemen, and you
will eventually retire him to the next
campaign.
Mabter Workman Powderly is now
a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania
and will probably be elected. It is said
that he was first approached by Randall,
but declined to stand as a Randall candi-
date because that gentleman’s course on
the taiiff question had made him many
enemifA among the miners,who claim that
they are suffering unjust taxation. This
all sounds a little strange in view of the
fact that only a short time ago Mr. Pow-
derly said: “I am a protective tariff man
from the crown of my head to the soles
of my feet.” Perhaps the opinions of the
miners have converted him to tariff re-
duction . It will be remembered that the
opinions of the southwestern strikers
caused him to very materially change his
mind once upon a time.
• That distinguished body of corporation
lawyers, called by courtesy the upper
house of congress, passed the river and
harbor bill'with an amendment reducing
every appropriation twenty-five per cent.
The Seuate might wiih equal fainkss
grant a pension to every applicant, and
then make a horizontal reduction in the
interest of economy. Why did not the
honorable gentlemen eliminate objection-
able appropriations from fhe bill instead
of thus arbitrarily paring down all alike?
Was it the intention to make the appro-
priations demanded by fence -mending
politicians less objectionable by assessing
the .righteous appropriations to pay
them, instead of making another dive in
to the treasury? If so, the scheme is a
failure. It is not a question of amount,
but of necessity. The people are willing
that fifty million, should be appropriated
if need be to improve the rivers and
harbors of the country, but are not will-
ing that a single dollar shall be squand
ered to make jingo politicians solid with
their constituents. Coke and Maxey
voted against the infamous amendment
as a matter of course. Not being dema-
gogues they could not have done other
wise.

The Swain oigans evidently believe
with Terrell that consistency should have
no place in a political campaign. After
all this ranting about Giddings’candi 1acy
playing the very devil and Thomas
Walker, Esq., with Ross, here is the Fori
Worth Gazette sweetly saying: “If, is
significant that he does not attack, but
rather climbs up on Swain’s platform.
His candidacy put, as he evidently in-
tends it, is, ‘if you don’t want Swain,
take me.’” This being the case, will h-
not draw his following altogether from
the Swain legions? To come right down
to business, the organs know that
Swain stands no more show of being
made governor of Texas than Ben Butlei
does, and they are hunting, wildly hunt
ing, for ’smother Moses to lead them out
of their ridiculous tangle. If Swain’s
name is not withdrawn from the oonven
tion before the third ballot then Evening
Tribune will retire, temporarily at least,
from the prophecy business.
Houstonians are kicking because the
Sunday law, directing that all places ol
business be closed from 9 a. m, to 4 p. *m.
Sunday, is being enforced. Wonder
what brainy statesman first discovered
that the hours between 9 and 4 o’clock
are more sacred than the rest of the day?
To come right down to brass tacks, any
law that prohibits a man from doing on
Sunday what he may lawfully do on Mon
day is a violation of the spirit of the con-
stitution. No union of church and state
is recognized by the constitution. No
law should be allowed to stand that
makes one American citizen the slave to
another’s religious views. The observance
of Sunday is a beautiful custom, but we
want no compulsory religion in this
country.
There is little prospect that congres
will do anything for the relief of the
people in Northwestern Texas, who have
been rendered destitute by the drouth.
The national treasury is not a mammoth
charity-box, and the sooner this fact is
generally known the better. There has
been entirely too much paternalism ex-
hibited by the federal government. The
voluntary charity of the American peo-
ple has always proved ample to relieve
the unfortunate.

The Physiology of the Liver.
The liver is the hugest secreting organ
in the human body, and the bile which
it secretes is more liable to vitiation and
misdirection from its proper channels
than any other of the animal fluids.
Luckily for the bilious, however, there is
an unfailing source . of relief from
liver complaint, namely,Hostetter’s Stom-
ach Bitters, a medicine which for over a
quarter of a century has been achieving
thorough cures of the above mentioned
ailments, fever and ague, dyspepsia,
bowel complaints, rheumatic and kidney
affection, and disorders involving loss of
nervous vigor. It is, moreover, a pre
ventive of malarial disease, and affords
protection to thousands of persons resid
ing in districts of country where that dire
scourge is prevalent. As a remedy adapt
ed to the medicai requirements of famil-
ies, it is supremely desirable, and as a
means of fortifying a debilitated system,
it is thoroughly to be depeuded upon.

Excitement in Texas.
Great excitement, has been caused in
he vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr. J. E. Oorlev,
who was so helpless that he could not
turn in bed, or raise his head ; everybody
said he was dtingof consumption. A
tiia.1 bottle of Dr. King’s Npw Discovery
was sent him. Finding relief, he bought
a latge bottle and a box of Dr. King’s
New Life Pills; by the time he had taken
;wo boxes of Pills and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was well, and had gained
>n flesh thirty-six pounds. Trial bottle

Ttie Dodor’s Endorsement.
Dr. W. D, Wright, Cincinnati, O.,
sends the subjoined professional endorse-
ment: “I have prescribed Dr. William
Hall’s Balsaha for the Lungs in a great
number of cases and always with success.
One case in particular was given up by
several physicians who had been called
iu for consultation with myself. The
patient had all the symptoms of con
firmed consumption—cold night sweats,
hectic fever, harrassing coughs, etc, He
commenced immediately to get better
and was soon restored to his usual health.
I found Dr. William Hall’s Balsam for
the Lungs the most valuable expectorant
for breaking up distressing coughs and
colds.”
Cure for Files.
Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
padent to suppose he has ome effection
• of the kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times symptoms of indigestion are
present, flatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspi-
ration, producing a very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is a commoD
attendant. Blind, bleeding and itching
Piles yeld at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the pares effected, absorb-
ing the Tumors, allaying the intense
itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

ful. One pill a dose.

nothing harmful, are
easy to take, and j
cause no inconven-
ience. One box will
