CIIAS.il. JONES, Editor and Proptor 1 ' Iimil) A BV POB-OrilC A CUAjtfAMTMt K. 0., a aKXiCLA8a wiml - mroW Wat ' A CnANGEOf SEWTIBLBNT, The mutiicipai electiohVinthe West ern States'last Toesilay are somewhat remarkable, not only in the number of places carried by the Democrats, and the large majorities, in some instances, but in the fact lhat samef these tpwns have never before been carried by the Democrats. . This means tbat there has ': been a'great change in popular senti ment in those States, or that there is an astonishing amount of apathy among the Republicans out there. Perhaps it is both. If si m ply tbe latter there must be a cause for it. We know t no rea son, from ordinary causes, that would create such a rtmarkable apathy at this time, nor any why Republicans should be any more indifferent this year about carrying their city elections. There must be some influence at woik which haa nnt heretofore been exerted. It is true in some localities there were local reasons which made themselves, felt the liquor question being prominent in Cin cinnati and other cities in Ohio, and al so in Michigan. The recent legislation in the Ohio legislature on licensing Baloons arrayed a very large portion of the German element which had here tofore been voting the Republican tick et, against tbat party, nd perhaps the nam a ftiflmpiit made itself felt in the Iowa towns where a constitutional pro hibitory amendment is under discus sion, and is very distasteful to the Ger mans who chafe at the idea of being prohibited from indulgence in their favorite l.iger. In these instances we see a cause of a local nature but in oth er places none to'account for the gain of the Democrats nor for the apathy of the Republicans. We see no way to ac count for thi3 apathy, than in the dis gust engendered among a large number of Republicans at the warring of the fac tions, and dissatisfaction with the man agement of the party under its present leaders. Stalwartism, half-breedism star-routeism, and the stalwart effort to bespatter the memory of Garfield are shaking up the concern considerably and making its tenure of prolonged life very uncertain. The attitude of sjme of the party leaders, too, on the Chinese question, and on the tariff, has no doub had its influence. That there has been a great change in the relative condition of the parties in the West is evident, but whether it is to continue or be merely temporary it is rather early yet to venture an opin ion. As a rule these spring elections are not a safe guidance by which to es timate popular opinion, but the elec tions of the present week present indi cations of changes that look as if there might be a turn in the tide. The time was not far in the past when the west wa3 governed and led politi cally by eastern leaders and eastern ideas, but the West is becoming an em pire herself, with her own leaders and her own ideas and interests not in com mon with the east, and there is being manifested in that section an independ ence of political thought that did not in former years prevail. The fact is the leadership of both parties has to a great extent passed from the east to the west, and that fact is beginning to be recognized by the masses. As a matter of fact some of these western States which have been held by the Republi cans are really Democratic and have been carried by the Republicans only by the lavish use of money and the grossest frauds. It is an acknowledged fact that the sum of $350,000 was sent into Indiana to influence the election in that State yust previous to the last Presidential election, and that enor-. mous sums of mouey have always been furnished to carry on the campaigns and influence the elections in that State and in Ohio because they were regard ed as doubtful States, and to carry them was essential to national success. Whether in view of the changes now occurring and the dissensions' existing between the rival factions this eastern influence and eastern money will be as potent as they have besn in the past re mains to be seen. Prom the present outlook it would seem that they will not be. TELLER AND CHANDLER. The President yesterday sent in the names of Senator Teller, of Colorado, for Secretary of the Interior in place of Kirk wood, and W. E. Chandler, as Sec retary of the Navy, in place of Hunt, vwho will go to Russia as minister. This completes the Arthur cabinet by the displacement of all the Garfield ap pointments save Lincoln, Secretary of War, who will remain. Teller was at once confirmed, as a matter of Senatorial courtesy, we pre sume, while Mr. Chandler goes over to the committee to pass through the In vestigating mill, from which he will probably come out recommended, and accordingly confirmed. Chandler is not unknown to fame, for it was he who stepped to the front when it was dis covered that Tilden had carried a ma jority of the electoral votes and tele graphed through the country that Hayes was elected. He took the man agement of the game into his own hands and laid the foundation for that colossal swindle which left Tilden out in the cold and sent Hayes into the White uouse. lie is a now, unscru pulous plotter, full of resources, and would hesitate at nothing, from petty larceny to stealing an empire, when party success depended upon it.

The States Not Equal to the Task of Keeping up Repairs. New York, April 6. The Herald publishes replies from the governors of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas to inquiries addressed to them as to what they considered should be done by the several State governments affected by the noods, also by the Federal authori ties, to meet the present emergency and prevent further disaster such as the present. Gov. Meaner? intimates that the losses of the people of Louisiana will be so large as to preclude the possibility of raising the half million of dollars necessary to rebuild the leVees. He shows that nearly one hundred and eighty thousand persons will sustain pe cuniary aamage in consequence oi me overflow, and considers it perfectly legal and proper that the United States government shall undertake to make all requisite repairs. The governor of Arkansas to a great extent coincides wit the- executive of Louisiana. He sees no reason why the Federal government cannot take charge of the entire levee system. The taxation for river purposes is so small that sufficient funds cannot be gather ed to do the work required Along the river. Governor Lowry states that before the war a splendid -system of levees was in existence, but by the time the great conflict was over it was complete ly wrecked. ' It has never been replaced and the damage no wis so overwhelming he says, it is impossible for the State to repair it.

Oae of the most valuable developments of mod ern science along the line of human necessity Is the National Weather Bureau at Washington. Ex perience has shown that eighty-six per cent of the predictions Of the signal service are accurate; and these predictions are unquestionably of the greatest advantage to the seaman, the agriculturist ana tne enure commercial world. The service has proven.ils necessity by its usefulness, for In past, amea ute laciuties lor roretelllng atmos pheric changes were meagre indeed. The only ju dications our fathers had of coming changes in the weatner were aching limos, twinging joints or painful corns. These "indications, 'T though crude, were usually correct, and hence naturally suggest tne enquiry as to tne relation between tbe human system And the weather. The body is un questionably an excellent barometer. It foretells changes in the atmosphere long before they occur. and this fact has been taken advantage of by phy- klclans who, when all other agencies ran, prescribe a change of air, thus hoping the body may find an atmospheric condition better suited to its needs. And yet the real relation between the human body and the weather has never been fully understood, nor has there ever been, until now, a correct ex planation or wbat rneumailra (wLiuti seems in league with tbe atmosunere) iealiy U. it was originally thought by many to be a trouble in the 3lnts, and as such was treated In the most strange, nut to say, r.aicu ous manner, xms tneory be came dispelled when the same trouble attacked the inusclfcs, and the feeling then prevai.e i that it was purely a muscular d.sorder. But this idea was touud to be too narrow, and now it la univer sally conceded tbat rheumatl-m is a blot d dis ease. And what a terrible disease it is. It often comes without warning and prostrate the system L with agony. Again Its beginning is gradual, and its erowtn siow. in iw aoute ioim it maniiests it- selt lu every conceivable shape and always ac companied by Intense pain. At one time It Is in flammatory, at another neuralgic Sometimes It assumes the form of gout, and again that of pleu risy or lumbago: but in whatever manner it ap pears It Is terribly painful and always to be dread ed. The pain and annoyance of rheumatism are Increased by Its great uansrer for it U liable to at tack the brain or heart ai any moment, thereby causing Instant death. Indeed, nearly every case ot heart disease with an lis dreadful suddenness which has ever occoned, can be traced more or less olrectly to rheumatic Qausca. In its cbronlc form it stiffens the loluts. contracts the muscles. undermines the health and ruins the life. It fre quently attacKs men and women who are appar ently in periect neaitn. indeed, it is i s greatly to be dreaded as any tosslble form of physical woe. But, however severe its effects may be. the exact cause ot this blooa trouble has ben au undecided question, and It is only within the past year that any decision upon the subject has been reached. In order to tuny determine wbat tbe cause of rheu matic dlsordeis really was, certain authorities sent letters oi inquiry irom wasnirgton to tne leading practicing physicians of the land, and these in auirle8were responded to Quite generally, thus furnishing data of great value to science and man kind. The view held by the doctors are of a varied nature, but so overwhelming a portion hold to one belief as to leave but little doubt that it is thi correct one. This belief, briefly stated, is that uric add in the blood causes rheumatism, and that it is only by removing this poisonous acid that rheumatic or neuralgic troubles in all their terrible forms can be cured. This being true, the Important question arises: ' Bow does this pois onous uric acid get into tbe blood, and how can it best be removed?" Uric acid is a waste material of the body which the kidneys should carry out, but because they are weakened they cannot throw it irom tne system, uestore tne Kidneys and you restore the power that will force the uric acid from the system and thus banish the rheumatic agonies which it causes. This is reason: it is science. No one whose kidneys are in a perfect condition was ever troubled witn rneumausm, and no rneumatie sunerer. nowever slight the Dam maybe, has perfect kidneys. The conclusion of this truth is inevltaele; perfect kidneys mean free dom from rheumatism. When rheumatism has manifested Itself In any special part of tbe body, attempts have usually been made to treat that part of tne body. Asa re sult, the pain has departed but the disease has re mained, lying subtly concealed and ready to break out at some unexpected moment. Checking the pain in any single locality only scatters the disease through the system, wnen, u tne seat or the dis order, which are the kidneys, were reached, a com plete core would be the result. The way therefore to expel this rank and poisonous acid before it as sumes an inflammatory or cnromc iorm is by keeping the kidneys In absolute health. This is no easy thing to do. tod no means has. until with In the past few years, been known which would successfully reach and anect tnese great oreans. At last, however, scientists have discovered (hat the leaves of a tropical plant, previously but little known to science and unknown to medicine, pos sessed marvelous Qualities adapted for the kid neys. These leaves have been skilfully combined in toe remedy now Known as Warners safe -Kid ney and Liver Cure. It is, up to tbe present time. the only known preparation that acts so directly upon the kidneys as to effectually cure the various dangerous forms of kidney disease, and hence re move ail nno mm. irom me Diooa. as a result, tne cores it has been the means of performing are really very remarkable. Indeed, there are thous' ands of persons in America to-day who owe their restoration to health and entire freedom from rheumatism to this simple yet powerful remedy, which is known universally, manufactured in Rochester, N. Y , and sold In every drag store in the land. Frem the doctors in the various cities of the vUnlted States who have certineq over their own signatures to the scientunc statement mat uric acid In the blood is the cause of rheumatism, are a large number of Chicago and St. Loui3 physi cians, among them being ur.

The theory of the doctors as above exnlatnAd finds its confirmation In the fact that when the kidneys nave been cured, rheumatism is complete ly removed. . This is not. of course, always accom- pusnea instantly, ior in a disease so subtle, the cure is often very slow, but under no other plan can anv hone of nermanent relief ever ha found.
