HON. JOHN WILSON.
To whatever part of the earth Crawfordevilje sends her sons THE JOURNAL endeavors to keep track of ihern and note their progress and advancement in their chosen lines of work. When one of them becomes distinguished it is with peculiar pleasure that we refer to him and his work. How well Hon. John L. Wileon, one of our boys, has served his people in Congress may be inferred by the following from the Olympia Iribune, a paper published at the capital of Washington:
Hon. John L. Wilson who 18 visiting In our city, has earned the distinction of being the most successful Representative in the House of Representatives from the new States. Wilson's success in Congress mav he charged to his natural and acquired abilities as a legislator. He is the son of a distinguished member of Congress. Wilson knows how and hi has the energy to turn to good account what he knows, He is a parliamentarian, a tactician ia his intercourse with fellow members and a worker who never tires. He now has the training and experience that fit him for a Congressional life and if the State kept him in Congress the rest of his days, the State would be the gainer. With the right kind of talent to start with, continued service alone in Congress equips a man for the office of representative or senator. Wilson's work in Congress is abundant proof of the claim that lie is the right man in the right place and that he has been an apt pupil, to date, all Washington, ir respective of party, gratefully acknowledge.
THE stars and stripes have been hanled down at Honolulu, but meanwhile the Confederate flag is on all pnblic occasions blossoming ont in the Sonth, the section that elected Cleveland and the Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, Here is a dispatch from Richmond, Va., April 11, that appears in the Charleston A'eics and Courier giving an account of the meeting of Southern Governors: "Over the speaker's stand hung the Confederate llag, which was carried through the war by the Staunton Artillery until the adoption of the buttle-tl&g by the Government. It was 1 hen replaced by the latter, lliis company's llag, which was furled at Appomattox, was also displayed over the stand. Each of the booths represenst one'of the
States that formed
the late Confederacy." .Running up ana displaying the Confederate flag and hauling down the American flag will be the distinguishing characteristics of this Administration. By these acts it will be stigmatized in the mind and memory of every patriotic American.
SENATOB VOOBHEES must have been drunk the other day when he made the charge against Senator Chandler that while the latter was Secretary of the Navy the four war ships built under his supervision had gone down to the bottom of the sea and that the contractors had retired wealthy. Mr. Chandler in reply stated that the four vessels built by him would be in the naval review next week and that one of them would carry the Presidential party. And besides, the contractor, through the machinations of his successor, Mr. Whitney, became bankrupted and died of a broken heart. The trouncing that the Tall Demagogue of the Wabash received was even mere complete than that administered by the sharp tongued Ingalls a few years ago.
THE Fifth Congress of the Scotch Irish Society of America will be held at Springfield, Ohio, May 11 to 14 pros. The society is organized for distinctively historical and social purposes, and iB doing good educational work for the intelligent people of the nation. Addresses may be expected from Gov. Wm. McKinley, of Ohio Rev. Dr. John Hall, of New York A. K. MoClure, of Philadelphia Senator Wm. Lindsay, of Kentucky, and many other men of prominence and ability. All natives of Ulster, or of any degree of descent, of ScotchIrish stock, are cordially invited to participate in this Congress.
THE question ie aeked and remains unanswered why it was that President Cleveland Bent a "personal Commissioner" instead of a representative of the United States to Honolulu. In his letter to the Provisional President of the Sandwich Islands Mr. Cleveland Bays: "I HAVE made choice of James H. Blount one of OCR distinguished citizens, A8 MY Special Commissioner to visit the Hawaiian Islands to make a report TO ME/'
It Bounds more like the language of a sovereign or a Czar than the language of the President of a Republic. It is an excessive specimen of royal style. Eith er that or an effusion of extraordinary egotism.
THE excuse that Congressman Brook shire offers for the failure to appoint Miss Sweeney postmaster at Yountsville is that she is not 21 years old. We know nothing as to the fact of her age, but it will occur to some people that the Congressman should have known wheth er she was eligible or not before com mitting himself in her favor. By making it public through the newspapers that she would receive the appointment and then withdrawing her name with no ex planation placed her in a most hutnlii ating position.
ROBERT JONES, the oldest member the Lafayette bar, and well known the older lawyers of this city, died his home last Saturday at the age seventy-three years.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham: If any one wants to know how good your medicine is, just refer them to me.
I was so low, people thought I never could get well again. The trouble was in my womb, causing bearing-down and severe backache. I was so nervous and irritable my people could hardly live witn me. Sometimes I would al. most fall down, I was so dizzy, and how I did lie awake nights I I thought I should go crazy 1
But now all that is changed, and I am a well woman. I owe all to

A FALSE POPULAR NOTION. The Vonis Lobbyist In Washington SaM to Be a Fiction.
There are some fictions concerning the capitol at Washington. Among them is one that the woman lobbyist Is a power, and that her wiles ana arts are successfully employed on the most eminent statesmen in congress, writes H. Zi. Kelson in Harper's Weekly.
It Is true that there are women lobbyists, and that some of them years ago were eminently successful. There ia nothing, however, so false as the idea that the woman lobbyist is a frequent spectacle, or that she has now any Influence whatever on congressmen or legislation. The average congressman is a respectable and self-respecting man. It must be borne in mind that most members of the house of representatives and of the senate come from rural communities, and, as a rule, no man can be chosen from a rural community to respectable publio position who does not, at least apparently, walk in the paths of propriety. It may be that his reputation is false, but he is intent on preserving It, at all events, and consequently "it would not do," in the language of those who understand the full value of propriety, for a man who counts on continuing to receive the favors of a rural constituency to be seen very often in conversation with a professional woman lobbyist Nor would the subject on which she desired to converse with him be likely to interest him if he were a man of position and character. No one who is in the habit of doing business with the national legislature or whose affairs are of sufficient Importance to demand caution and intelligence in their transaciton would employ a woman lobbyist. The first friend he met, if he had no local attorney, would warn him off. Sometimes a poor, broken down, wronged and inexperienced claimant, with justice on his side, and with a story of wrongs received from, the redtape system prevalent in Washington, will fall into the hands of the fair harpy, who will rob him of his spare cash and leave him stranded and disappointed for if anything beyond the natural indifference of congressmen is needed to defeat a just claim, it is the effort of a woman lobbyist.
MONARCH FOR CENTURIES. A Pin. Tree Which Stood In Pennsylvania Long Before Columbus Landed.
Ever since the days of the first settlers in the Pike county (Pa.) backwoods, a tree known as the "great pine" has been a landmark iu Green township because of its Immense height, the tree towering far above all the other trees in the pine forest that then covered the Pike county mountains, says the New York Sun. In the clearing away of the pine timber, which was the main pursuit of the woodsmen for fifty years or more, this lordly tree was left standing, and thirty years ago it became the sole relic in all that region of the great primitive forest of pines, and since then has been famous throughout northern Pennsylvania as "the last~pine." The natives had always regarded the ancient tree with great veneration, but the land on which it stood passed into the hands o'f alien owners and one day recently they had it cut down. The tree was found to be three hundred and seventy-two feet in height,' and the infallible record of the rings of its stem showed its age to be four hundred and sixty-two years, so that it was a respectable tree sixty-two years old when Columbus discovered America. It is perfectly sound from bntt to tip and will cut two thousand dollars' worth of lumber.
MARRIAGE IN ENGLAND. A Dark Outlook for th. Girls of the Middle Class.
The decline of matrimony In England, according to the London Telegraph, has of late -years been very marked, more especially among the middle and upper classes. Nor are the revelations that are occasionally made in the divorce court of a nature to encourage the more prudent and eligible young men, and those who would make the best husbands, to be in any hurry to enter into the enjoyment of connubial bliss. It is some relief to middle-class families overburdened with an excess of daughters that the opportunities for girls earning their own living appear to be on the increase but the competition for paid employment acceptable to young ladies of the middle classes is every day growing more severe. The prospects for middle-class girls in the immcdiato future appear, therefore, to be anything but bright, except to those who are not afraid of work. There are thousands of young men wanting wives in Australia and Auierica, where there are few wives to be had. There is a career open to the surplus female population of England, if they can only manage once to get to tho other side of the globe.
Deafness Cannot be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ol the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube (fets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused bv catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Curo. Send for circulars, free.

Before the reputation of this remedy became world-widei, irritabl, cross, nervous, debilitated women, suffering with displacements, hysteria, and everVfemale disease, were the rule rather than the exception.
