A Little American History. Candler Recalls the Career of Republican Party. Atlanta, Ga April 27 -The obser? vance of Memorial Pay in Atlanta was made notable by a speech delivered by the Governor of Georgia, io which he scored Republican -'fanatics" and criticised the war in the Philippines The speech was made at the pre sentation of crosses of honor to the Veterans and was loudly cheerhd Governor Chandler said io part : "You fooght not to promote the ambition of a crowned head, not for conquest, not to force yoor Govern ment upon an unwilling people, bot for the God given right of local seif government "You rebelled against the domina? tion of a sectional political party, led by fanatics, who did not and do not believe in this cardinal doctrine, and who were the sworn eoimies of you aod your interests and your institu? tion. "Biinded by fanaticism the leaders of thia party either could or would not do voa and your section justice You were maligned and abused and j reviled and slaudered. "It is a singular fact, as was justly I said by a distinguished Republican Senator a few years ago, that the Northern conscience was never quickened to a full realization of the enormity of slavery catii their own had been converted into gold, and the gold had found a safe lodgement deep down in their pockets "The Southern people were goaded into secession in spite of their love for the Constitution and the Union "Perhaps both sides sinned as the conflict grew fiercer Let the qaes tioo rest where the.legend on the beautiful badge you are to wear places it, 'Doe Vindice ' Let God jcdge betweeo os. "I do oot mean to disparage nor impago the motives of the gallant meo who confronted os on a hundred battlefields, nor of the great mass of the people of the non seceding states "I am denouncing the fanatics who presided at the birth of the Republi? can party and nursed the bani Hog into vigor?os manhood, and taught it the doctrine of a higher law and to disregard the limitations of the constitution, reverse the precedents of a hondred years, and who, disre? garding the golden role, preached from the pulpit the doctrine of hate instead of 'peace on earth and good will to nfen.' "This breed of fanatics has not ran oot None of them were ever kiiled io battle, for they did not go. They are still in congress and io the pulpit, and are preaching the same unholy gospel They still dominate the party of Lincoln and Seward aod Chase, which denied to you in 1860 the blood-bought right of local self government, and which is today waging a war of conquest against an unoffending people 10,000 miles away, and denying to them the rights for which Washington and Marion and Snmter and the Lees foaght on the fields of Camden and Yorktown and Cowpens and King's Moontaic, and for which you fought, as no men have foaght in two thou sand years, at Manassas and Shiloh, Gettysborg and Chickamauga The same party, drunk with its excesses of usurpation, are in violation of the spirit of the constitution, holding a million people on the isfiand o Port Rico in a state of vassalage and tax ing them withoat representation, as they held yoo and taxed you in the days of reconstruction It is s healthy sign, however, that some of the ablest and most patriotic men of this party are protesting against this usurpation of power and this aban? donment of the teachings of the fathers and the traditions of the re public."

A rich Prussian hanker who had bought his title of "von" by some means or other managed to squeeze his son into a regiment of the guards. Once admitted, he was of course treat? ed by the other officers as one of tkem selvcs. One day the banker gave a splendid dinner, to which he invited through his sou all the oilicers of the regiment save one, a very nice fellow, who, however, was not cobie, having no aristocratic "von" prefixed to his name. All accepted the invitation, perfectly unconscious that one of their number had been so badly treated. When, how? ever, they tock their seats at the table, the absence of their comrade was im? mediately noticed. Some one remark? ed the fact to the host, who said in a loud voice, "Ah. you see, we are going to be entre nous tonight, a really se? lect party, you know." "Then we must not disturb you." said the senior o?l?cer present, rising from his chair, and one after another the guardsmen solemnly filed out of the room, thus amply avenging the slight to which an officer of their regi? ment had been subjected. Gas Over t?te Telephone. A lady of the "'est village decided to have a telephone placed in her house. At about the same time she also decid? ed to have a gas range put in. After a family consultation she instructed her daughter to order the telephone. In the conversation both the telephone and gas range had been spoken ot", and the daughter apparently became some? what confused, as will be seen by the following letter which she wrote or? dering thc telephone: "Dear Sir-We have decided to have a telephone plac? ed in the house. Please give it your immediate attention. The house is not piped for gas. but the street is." Winsted (Conn.) Citizen. Expansive i avila ; ion.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. "DANCER IN THE EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE.'? A Wise and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science. In a leading- hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convers? ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, w?re a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. My firm belief, is " that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis? eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organ? isms. Here is the germ of that terribie disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the stiU more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which, causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh.*' "I wish, Doctor,"' said the traveling man, "that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged.** The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or less wdth it. How often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both ta himself and his friends. " I believe," continued this great ph}'sician, "that the true way to heal ca? tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers." Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee. Manistee Co.. Mich., writes: Dear Sirs :-For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death.. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc? tors said my blood had ail turned to water. I had given up ail hope of ever get? ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla. I took it. and then I bought another. When these had been used, 1 was somewhat improved in health. I continued its use. and felt I was growing stronger: my sleep was re? freshing, and it seemed as if I could feei new blood moving through my veins. I kent on taking it. and now consider mysexf a well and rugged woman. I work alf the time, and am happy. lam positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life. The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca? tarrh lias almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's Sarsaparilla has done for me. . I recommend all women who have sick head? aches to use your Sarsaparilla. aaCICi33<>AIV ?DIR.TTG. COMPAWY, DETROIT, MICH. 1 Three Papers a Week f g - e 1 TOR ABOUT T^E I I PR?CE OP ONE.
