The proprietor of a Boston hotel, who has been criticised because Bishop Arnett, a negro, was refused entertainment at his house last week, scored a point by remarking that if the bishop had been a white man he would have been entertained at a private house and not taken to a hotel. It never seems to have occurred to the people who secured the bishop's presence in Boston that they could entertain him.

The Davis "Monroe doctrine" resolution now before the Senate has a good deal of loud talk in it but the sting is taken out by the clause that the bill is to apply "in any case or instance as to which the United States shall deem such an attempt to be dangerous to its peace or safety." No resolution of Congress or official statement is needed to make the world understand that we shall not "regard with indifference" any act we regard dangerous to our peace and safety.
Every government on earth acts in that way and we are not going to be an exception to the rule. The Iowa State Register, owned and published by Republican National Committeeman J. S. Clarkson, declares that is no tariff question, or at least controversy, in this country. All thinking men, business men and working men are now willing to concede that the duties on foreign imports ought to be sufficient for revenue, and when they are thus sufficient, with proper distribution, they will be as protective as reasonable Republicans care to make them." How much does this differ from the Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only, which we have been told is "free trade."

Cured Gen. Buzzell, Department Commander of New Hampshire G. A. R. Gen, Charles E.
Buzzell, of Lakeport, N. Department Commander of New Hampshire G. A. has something of interest to say to the people in regard to the remarkable curative powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
Few men are more widely known than Gen. Buzzell, who is Street Commissioner of Lakeport, and the most prominent builder and contractor in the State. 'The General was terribly run down in health and as a result of over-work, became nervous, weak, tired and without my old-time energy and ambition. I grew so fearfully nervous that I could not rest nor sleep nights, but would be obliged to get up and walk about several times each night. I would get tired and nervous so easily and quickly that it became almost, impossible for me to attend to my business.
At the same time I had most severe and distressing backache. took Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and it helped me right away. My nerves were so strengthened and invigorated that the nervousness left me, and I could again sleep soundly nights, and wake mornings refreshed and feeling strong and vigorous. The backache is completely cured.
I am now perfectly well and better able than ever to attend to my business. I have recommended this wonderful remedy to several others and it has cured them all. I urge people to use it because I know it will make them well." Gen. Buzzell's case was like thousands of others. People, from overwork, strain upon brain and nerve or other cause, break down in health, feel that they are physically weak and that their nerve strength, energy and power are greatly diminished.
Just so sure as night follows day will prostration and debility, the wreck of nerves, brain and body, follow if a cure is not immediately sought. Neglect is the fatal "thing. Never allow the first symptoms--the tired feeling, the weakened nerves, the loss of power of endurance, the lack of snap and energy--to drift you into total loss of health. Take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy now, and it will cure you as it cured Gen.
Buzzell, as it has cured thousands upon thousands of others. It is the great curer of disease, the great strengthener of nerves, the great builder up of blood, the great invigorator of brain and body. It will make you well. Do not class this most valuable remedy with patent medicines. It is a physician's prescription, and its discoverer, Dr.
Greene, of 34 Temple Place, Boston, has the largest and most successful practice in the world in nervous and chronic diseases, and can be consulted free of charge, personally or by letter. The Famous Commander Writes to the People to use Dr. Greene's Nervura. It cured him. It will cure you.

I have often recommended that, and my patients have taken it with most beneficial results. My wife used it steadily before child birth with most desirable result. She is an enthusiastic admirer of that great medicine, for indigestion and to regulate the bowels, it is an excellent medicine." Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has effected cures after physicians had given up hope. It restores the liver to a healthy condition, and cures the worst cases of constipation.
It is a certain cure for all diseases peculiar to females, and affords great protection from attacks that originate in change of life.

A Young Girl's Trials. Nervous Troubles End in St. Vitus' Dance. (From the Reporter, Somerset, Ky.) Among the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock, is the happy home of James McPherron. Four mouths ago the daughter of the family, a happy girl of sixteen, was stricken with St.
Vatus' dance. The leading physicians were consulted, but without avail. She grew pale and thin under the terrible nervous strain, and was fast losing her mental powers. In fact the thought of placing her in an asylum was seriously considered. Her case has been 90 widely talked about that the report of her cure was like modernizing a miracle of old.
To a reporter who visited the home the mother said: "Yes, the reports of my daughter's sickness and cure are true as you hear them. Her affliction grew into St. Vitus' dance from an aggravated form of weakness and nervous trouble peculiar to her sex Every source of help was followed to the end, but it seemed that physicians and medicine were power. less. Day by day she grew worse until we despaired of her life.
At times she almost went into convulsions. She got so that we had to watch her to keep her from wander Ing away, and you can imagine the care she was. "About this time when our misery was greatest and all hope baa fled, 1 read of anotber case, almost similar, that had been cured by a medicine known as Dr. Williams, Pink Pills. Almostin desperation I secured some of the pills and from that day on the Wondertul work of restoration commenced; the nervousness left, her cheeks grew bright with the color of health, she gained flesh and grew strong both mentally and physically until to-day she is the very picture of good healih and bappiness.
"It is no wonder that I speak in glowing terms of Pink Pills to every ailing person I meet. Toey saved my daughter's lite and I am grateful." The foregoing is but one of many wonder. fal cures that bave been credited to Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills tor Pale People. In many cases the reported cures have been investigated by the leading newspapers and verifled in every possible manner.
Their fame Das spread the far ends of civilization and there is bardly a drug storein this country or abroad where they cannot be tound. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery conditiou of the blood or shattered nerves.
