THE FORCE BILL.
The Republicans have made up
their minds to pnns the force bill
if thev can. Heed, Rowell, Hoar
and other bloody shirt congress
men are verv sore over the defeat
of their party in the recent elec
tions, and they propose to get
their re venire bv fastening that
v.-
ininitous bill upon the country
and the President applauds them
and urges them on.
If the bill should be passed the
Democrats of the next congress
although they have an immense
majority in the House, could not
repeal it, because the Senate is
Republican, and is likely to be
for several years. They would
have to appropriate the money
required to carry the provisions
of the bill into effect.
The Republican leaders are des
perate. In a fair and square elec
tion in 1892 they would be over
whelmingly defeated. If they are
permitted, however, to do the
registering, counting and certify
ing, they hope to get a majority
in the next electoral college and
in the Fifty-third congress. Beat
en at the polls, they hope to re
tain power by manipulating the
bnl lot-boxes. They are prepar
ing to resort to questionable
means to gain what the people
have denied them.
Of course the Democrats in the
Senate are not going to let the
bill pass without a fight. They
will block legislation. And the
bill cannot be passed unless
Reed's tactics are introduced into
the Senate. Perhaps there are
Republican senators enough, who
cannot be bulldozed into sanc
tioning tactics of that kind, to
defeat the bloody shut pro
gramme.
The Republican leaders are the
only ones who want the force bill.
Southern Republicans don't want
it. In the November elections
thousands of them, it is said,
voted the democratic ticket be
cause they wanted to protest in
some way against the bill. No
where in the North are the people
holding meetings demanding the
passage of the bill. Indeed, in all
parts of the country the republi
cans are remarkably lukewarm
with regard to it, and not a few
of them have spoken strongly
against it. Reed, Hoar, Rowell,
Lodge and others, however,
would not be happy if they were
not doing something to injure
the south.

His Daughter Suffered from
Eczema.
My daughter suffered five years
with an attack of Chrouic Eczema,
that baffled the treatment of all the
best practitioners. I then concluded
to try a course of Swift's Specific (S.
S. S.) She began to improve from
the first dose, and before she had
completed the second bottle the irri
tation had disappeared, and she is
now well and enjoying unexcelled
health. These are plain and simple
facts, and I will cheerfully answer
all inquiries, either in person or by
mail. V. Vaughan, Druggist,
Sandy Bottom, Va.
It is the Best.
I have used Swift's Specific from
cleansing the Blood of impurities,
and find it to be the best in the mar
ket. It not only purifies the blood,
but is a most excellent tonic, and
builds up the general health prompt

There's the Dinner Bell.
What a claf tering and a chattering as
the children answer the dinner bell and
rush into the dining room. Oh ! the
gratification, a good appetite affords as
our noon day's meal is set before us. But
this vacant chair, what does it mean?
"Oh, that is Uncle Charley's seat, (iuess
lie don't feel like eating, he's got dyspep
sia, you know." Dyspepsia! horrors!
Deliver us from dyspepsia. What's the
use of being plagued with such an nil
ment anyway? What's the use having
a stomach so irritated and sore that even
one bite of food gives it distress? Why
not heal the soreness and allay the irri
tation and strengthen its muscular pro
cesses, by using Botanic Blood Balm.
Will it cure? It certainly will. Many,
many a former dyspeptic owes his enjoy
ment of life to B. B. B. Give it a trial.
S. J. Chandler, Richmond, Va., writes :
"Xo one can afford to be without B. B. I?,
who wishes an appetite.. I could scarcely
eat a single biscuit for breakfast, but
since taking B. B. B. I clean the whole
table, so to speak."
