FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1869.
THE #124,000,000 paid the government by the Pacific railroads came back to the treasury at an opportune time. It also indicates that a water route across the continent, by way of Nicaragua, would eventually repay its cost.
MR. BBYAN has been inspecting "the wonderful development of the iron district around Birmingham, Ala." The admiration he expressed failed to recognize the fact that all he saw is due to the Republican protective policy.
THE failure to elect a senator in four states will not affect the majority in the next senate, but there are times when Buch a plain evasion of duty might work a serious mischief, and even defeat the expressed will of the people.
EXPOBTATION of American manufactures from the United States now exceeds importation of foreign manufactures into the United States, and all this under a protective tariff which we were told would deBtroy our foreign commerce.
MB. BRYAN continues to insert the silver crowbar between the two sections of the once united Democratic party, in the apparent hope of keeping himself before the public, even at the expense of party defeat, which, of course, must follow party division.
THE wings of tbe Democracy do not seem inclined to follow the advice of the late Samuel J. Randall and "flap together." Mr. Bryan haB refused to attend a banquet in honor of Jefferson's birthday, because some of those participating .dare to disagree with him on the silver question.
EX-REPRESENTATIVE KING, of Utah, is a Democrat, but the following remarks made by him in Washington, indicate his ability to size up the political situation without prejudice: "I am inclined to believe that the Republicans will re-nominate and elect McKinley. The hero-worshippers in the Democratic party are determined upon Bryan's nomination, whether he can be elected or not."
Indiana Woman A sensible view of the stage is taken by Rev. Dr. Lorimer. After speaking of the wrong done by wholesale denunciations from half educated preachers who knew nothing of that about which they talked, Mr. Lorimer added, "No environment, however good, can make a saint or keep a saint. No environment, however bad, can keep some men and women from being pure and noble. I have known'some contemptible people who were brought up in the church. I have known them to be false to their vows, and faithless to their vocations. I have known some men and women on the stage who were as pure and noble, if we may judge from their conduct, as any who have lived in any time, amid any surroundings." Good sense this, and the truth as well.
THE United States is now the largest exporter in the world. Despite the assertion that a protective tariff would injure our markets abroad, our exportations have gone steadily on, gaining upon those of free trade Great Britain until we have outstripped her in the race. The exports from the United States in 1898 were, for the first time in history,(greater than the exports from Great Britain, while the growth of our exports since the adoption of the protective tariff has been far greater than that of the mother country. An examination of the record of the past thirty years—for it would be unfair to include the"period of 1861 to 1868, which was so much affected by the civil war—would show that our own exports have more than quadrupled, while those of Great Britain have increased but about 40 per cent. Our exports of domestic manufactures in 1868 amounted to (269,389,200, and in 1898 to $1,210,291,913. ThoBe of the United Kingdom were in 1P68, £179,677,012, and in 1898, £233,390,792. That we should have doubled our exportsjmore than twice during thirty yearsjof practically all protection, while Great Britain increased hers less than half during thirty years of free trade, ought to forever silence those who have been asserting that protection is injurious to the foreign commerce of the country adopting it.
THE NEW SPIRIT IX POLITICS. Self Culture: Every citizen ia expected to take his part in practical politics but the newer spirit demands that we enter politics, not as'a game of ambition, but as a sphere of service. The newer citizenship will seek a twofold aim: 1. The good of the greatest number, and 2, the infusion of moral earnestness into the duties of the citizen. In the sense of men who are controlled by these ideals, we have no great practical politicians in our day. One by one, all are entangled in the wheels of the "machine." Automatism IB the rule, and free Bervice the exception. But it is one of the privileges of the situation, to those who have not made the judgment of regret, that political life offers one of the noblest spheres of influence and achievement, if entered upon in the right Bpirit. Notwithstanding the obstacles, I maintain that a man may and ought to become a practical politician in a country like this. I know the opprobrium which attaches to the term "practical politician" but there is a greater reproach still than this namely, the avoidance of the difficult tasks involved in the regeneration of our political life. Citizenship that lackB this practical and positive quality is unworthy the name, and deserves as great opprobrium as the thing avoided.
SENATOR QUESEDA, who represented the alleged Cuban republic in Washington, although never officially recognized by this government, from almost the beginning of tbe Cuban revolution until deposed by the Cuban assembly, the other day, is still in Washington. He take a hopeful view of the situation in Cuba, and believes that everything will come out right in the end. He said: "I think we are going to get a fair deal. 1 think that the United States will do well by Cuba, and that Cuba is worthy of the sacrifices that have been made in her behalf by the United States." He thinks the question of annexation is one that should be and will be left until Cuba has a government and congress properly elected by its people to decide whether it would prefer maintaining an independent republic or being annexed to the United States. He 6ays he is perfectly satisfied that the people of the United States would not consent to the annexation of Cuba upon any other basis than the request of a majority of its people.
THE Democracy has not yet settled upon a policy nor a battle cry for the next campaign. Several inviting questions are presenting themselves as subjects for "opposition," but the leaders have not yet determined upon a selec tion. It is not to be supposed, of course, that the party will advocate anything. Democracy opposes it does not advocate.
THE farmers continue to be the chief beneficiaries in our wonderful export trade. More than five hundred million dollars' worth of their products were exported in the seven months ending with January, thus putting into their hands and pocketB more money contributed by foreign consumers than in the corresponding months in any year in our history.
COL. BRYAN comes dangerously near sacrilege when he compares a democratic dinner party to the last supper. Perhaps, he thinks that the comparison iB allowable as each one had to do to some considerable extent with silver.
Resolutions of Sympathy.
At a called meeting of the Hickory Grove horse thief detective association the following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The angel of de&th^ has visited the home of our beloved brother, A. R. Bayless, and removed him therefrom while in the line of his daily labors, be it
Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Bayless, Hickory Grove company No. 116 has lo3t one of its most worthy members, and his family a loving and devoted husland aud father therefore be it
Resolved, That we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this their hour of Bfliiction, and commend them to Him who doeth all things for the best, and while we realize that their loss is irrepairable we can offer them the consolation of knowing that we, too, have met with a sad misfortune in losing one of our most worthy and honored member?. Be it further
Resolved, That we mourn the loss of a dear brother, a sincere friend and co-worker in the association, and will long hold his memory in fond remembrance.
Resolved, That our charter be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days and that these resolutions be spread on the minutes of this company, a copy be sent to the family of our departed brother, and also that they be published in THE CRAWFORDSVILI.E JOURNAL, Argus-News and Review.

IT is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany, New York, dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and 6ee his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in he left word for him 10 come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.

Backache
Wearying, ceaseless backache. Dull, exhausting" and constant pain. No comfort by day. No rest at night. Aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side. No spirit for any task, no hope for relief. Great numbers of women are not free from backache from 6ne year's end
to another. Among Mrs. Pinkham's victories there is none more complete than that over backache, and the evidence of thousands of women prove that she is its conqueror.
Mrs. C. Klenk, of Wells, Minn. (Box 151), writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM I suffered for years-, with a !ong list of troubles, and I want to thank you for my complete recovery. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a wonderful medicine for women. "I had severe female complaints, causing terrible backache and nervous prostration was dizzy most of the time, had headache and such a tired feeling, now have taken seven bottles of your Compound and have also used the Sanative Wash and feel like a new woman. I must say I never had anything help me so much. I have better health than I ever had in my life. I sleep well at night, and can work all day without feeling tired. I give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound all the credit, for I know it, has 'cured me of all my troubles. I would not do without your remedies for anything."
When a woman has severe backache she has some serious trouble that will sooner or later declare itself.
Mrs. E. Furton, of fleade, nich., found that her backache was caused by a tumor, which] three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound expelled. This is Mrs. Furton's letter:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM— Two years ago I was troubled with, constant backache and headache, and was very nervous. I resolved to try your medicine and took two battles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and on taking the third a tumor was expelled. I was a little frightened and sent for the doctor and he said that it was fortunate for me that it came away. I got quite well after that and have your Compound alone to thank for my recovery, "j
The safe way to guard against trouble is to get Mrs. Pinkham's advice when the backache first appears. A letter to her at Lynn, Mass., describing your case fully will receive a prompt reply without charge.
Your Medicine Is a Friend to Women,"

your medicine has done me. I do. not feel like the same woman. I have suffered terribly. Had womb and kindey trouble, leucorrhoea, very severe pains in hips and sides of abdomen, headache, was nervous, menses were irregular. I have now taken four bottles of your Vegetable Compound, and the backache has left me, menses are regular, can sleep well, and awake in the morning feeling much rested. Your medicine is indeed a friend to Women. I wish that I could tell every woman what a wonderful medicine it is. I ca¬ praise it enough."—Hrs. Anna J. Fenstermaker Pine Summit, Pa.
