When a man owns a blooded horse he is
always careful of its health. He looks after
Us diet and is particular that the feeding
shall be regular and right. While he is
doing this it is likely as not that he is him
self suffering from some disease or‘disorder
that if left to itself will go on and on till it
develops seriously.
When the trouble gets so bnd that he can
not work, he will begin to give himself the
care he gave the horse at the start. The,
time to cure a disease is at the beginning
and better than all is to so watch your
health that disease will never come. Good,
pure, rich, red blood is the best insurance
against disease of any kind. Almost all
diseases come from impure or impoverished
blood. Keep the blood pure and strong
and disease can find no foothold.
That is the principle on which Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery works.
It cleanses, purifies and enriches the blood;
it puts and keeps the whole body in perfect
order. Makes appetite good, digestion
strong, assimilation perfect. It brings rud

I received began to fester, would not heal; now,
such lacerations heal themselves.”

Editor Lumvia, of the Conway

plies to the Pine Bluff Commercial:
The Pine Bluff Commerc al has
the right to change its views on pub
lic questions every day, but it ought
lo publish Ihe fact when it does
change and give the reason why.
Bro. Newman favors Mr. Ran
dall's tariff views and everybody
knows he was an ultra protectionist
and not in line with his party on
that issue. We are unable to see
wherein we havedone the Pine Bluff
Commercial any injustice, unless it
1ms very recently changed its
view's.
CARMACK NOT A BOLTER.
|Little Rock Press.)
The speech of Hon. E. W. Car
rnaclf at Pine Bluff Monday night
doubtless makes him persona non
(/mta to Col. Charley Collins, Col.
Danny .Tones, and the other colonels
of the Little Rock free silver club,
and his invitation to address the
club will probably be recalled. Mr.
Carmack declares that whether the
Chicago convention shall nominate
a sound money man or a free silver
man, he will remain With the party.
He doesn’t threaten to elevate the
varied wardrobe of his doll and fol
low the example of the plowman
who homeward wended his weary
way; he doesn’t declare that he will
burst in the head of the rain barrel
if he is not allowed to holler down
it, nor to drive nails in that favorite
coasting place, the cellar door, in
the event that he is not permitted to
monopolize that particular “shoot
the chute” arrangement to the ex
clusion of his little playmates. The
Democratic back yard is too good a
play-ground for Carmack to ever
climb the fence and drop over into
the Populist poultry yard.
And while we are on this subject,
w’e might do worse than to inquire
of Major Charles Gordon Newman,
who, per se, had something to do
with the speaking, what he thinks
of it? Col. Chas. Gordon Newman,
who ought to know better and who
certainly should do better, has re
cently and most unaccountably de
clared himself and his paper, the
Pine Bluff Commercial, to be in
favor of Col. Dan and his bolt. We
would like to ask Col. Chas. Gordon
Newman what he thinks of Car
mack’s gospel as compared with the
article spouted by Col. Dan? We
would ask him whether he would not
prefer to strike hands wi th Carmack,
remain with the Democratic party
and work for the success of free sil
ver as a Democrat, than to quit the
party and blow his ram’s horn from
without the walls? And if he would
not, why did he move that a vote of
thanks be extended to Mr. Carmack?
Was it the inspiration of a reawak
ening into Democratic faith that
caused him to make the motion, or
was it but an empty form—an unfelt
profession of conviction? We pre
fer to believe that Col. Charles Gor
don was converted, and that his
motion to thank Mr. Carmack was
a sort of hallelujah shout and a sin
cere confession from the mourner’s
bench.

A CHANGE OF SIGNALS.
Shall the Green Be Placed Above the lied
on American Railroads?
There is considerable discussion among
railroad men just now over a proposed
change in the signals generally in use
on American railroads for the guidance
of engineers. At a recent meeting of en
gineers in Chicago it was determined to
agitate for a change from the existing
rules.
Where a red light is displayed on the
line of an American railroad it means
that there is danger ahead, and under
the regulations of most roads mi engi
neer getting this signal stops the train
until either it is removed or another
signal is displayed, or until the signal
is given by the train dispatcher to pro
ceed. The green signal means caution.
The white signal means all clear ahead.
The objection to the use of white lights
is a double one—first, that they are too
common, and, second, that they are un
trustworthy, for, as railroad men point
out, if a red lantern is broken the light
shown becomes a white one, and thus
the safety of the train and the passen
gers upon it may he imperiled by the
breaking of a piece of glass.
As railroad signals are not always
distinguishable from ordinary lights,
American engineers have come general
ly to disregard the white signals entire
ly, and to look out merely for a red sig
nal, the absence of which they take to
be proof of security. Those who are agi
tating for a change desire to see intro
duced here the English system, which
differs from the American in this, that
the English use an amber light for cau
tion and a green light for “all clear. ”
The proposition is to use a green light
on American railroads to indicate that
all is well, while a red signal light
will continue to be a mark of danger.
It is estimated that a complete change
of the signal service on American rail
roads would cost $1,000,000, and most
of the railroad corporations, now cur
tailing expenses, do not give very hearty
approval to the engineers’ plan at this
time.—New York Sun.
BIG OFFICE BUILDING.
Designed For Erection In New York by a
Philadelphia Architect.
Joseph M. Huston, a Philadelphia
architect, has designed the) largest office
building in the Uniteel States for con
struction in New York city, and the
plan has been submitted to certain New
York capitalists. Sir. Huston said re
cently:
* ‘A gentleman has offered me sufficient
ground in Fulton street for the building.
The plan consists of an enormous arcade
like that of the Victor Emanuel in
Milan, the arch of which should be 80
feet high. On either side of the arcade
will be stores with a frontage of 50 feet
and 85 feet deep, which would make 16
stores in all. Flanked at each corner of
the block will be. four square buildings
70 by 70 feet and 15 stories high, with
a clubhouse on the top floor, covered by
an immense roof garden. The clubhouse
is intended to be used as the United
Clubs of Paris are, giving each small
club a separate room with a buffet, all
to be supplied from a central restaurant.
“The remaining 14 floors will lie de
voted to offices, about 150 on each floor.
A theater and concert hall will be erect
ed on the ground floor, each of which
will have a seating capacity of about
3,500 persons. On one side, running
parallel with the arcade, will be a large
hotel 20 by 100 feet, containing about
500 rooms. On the side opposite to the
hotel the arcade side entrances will be
located. The cost of the building will be
about $5,000,000.”—New York World.
JEFFERSON’S LINCOLN YARN
Tolls th© Lotus Club How the Future Pres
ident Assisted a Stranded Troupe.
At a dinner given the other night by
the Lotus club of New York in his hon
or Joseph Jefferson marie a speech,
which was considered to be one of the
best of the many he has ever made.
President F. R. Lawrence made a
speech eulogizing Mr. Jefferson, and
when he called for a rising toast to the
honored guest, it was given with a ter
rific hurrah.
Mr. Jefferson told how a company
with which ho was traveling—walking
between stations and not for their health
—became stranded at Springfield, Ills.
At that time a license had to be paid
for the privilege of showing in the
town, and the company was unable to
pay it. They were stuck They could go
no farther.
“In our extremity, ” said the actor,
“a young lawyer came and offered his
services free. We accepted his help, and
through iris efforts the license restric
tion was removed and we presented our
play. That good lawyer now lies buried
at Springfield, and a grand monument
has been reared over his grave. That
man, our benefactor, was Abraham Lin
coln. ”
The applause of the audience fairly
shook the house.
How to Get Famous In Congrea*.
Oratory is the surest and*sh< irtest road
to congress, and if a man wants to stay
in congress after he gets there he had
better ue an orator than a reformer. In
fact, the days of the reformer are wan
ing. The business of reform has been so
overdone and the article has so often
proved spurious that a congressman who
indulges in it as stock in trade is looked
upon with suspicion. If a congressman
is not an orator, the second best card for
him to play is to got the reputation of
being a business man. —H. C. Evans in
Des Moines Leader.
All Right Till Then.
It seems, according to the latest, sur

peak of the Pacific coast, is evenly di

of union, and John Bull will so regard
it, unless some conspirator salts the lava
