Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. 10, 1888,
Editors Union-Rkcorder:
During the past week, a rather im
pressive scene was witnessed in the
Senate, when Wm. E. Chandler, who
by reason of his notorious connection
with tlie Hayes and Tilden campaign,
is a living monument of the purity of
of elections, stood forth as tlie cham
pion of a free ballot and fair count in
the South. A few years ago, when
Jay A. Hiibbell, then in the House,
was distributing the Republican cor
ruption fund to carry Indiana, a
speech from him rebuking the prac
tice of using money to influence votes
would have beeti fully as r< freshing
and effective as was Mr. Chandler's
late effort. The New Hampshire ex
tremist was discussing the municipal
election at Jackson, Mississippi, with
which Congress lias no more to do
than with the election of a church
deacon in “No Man's Land.” But tlie
real object of tlie Republicans was to
provoke a sectional controversy for
the purpose of defeating Mr. Lamar’s
confirmation, in which they were sig
nally disappointed by the tact of tlie
Democrats. Mr. Riddleberger spoke
right out and said there was no con
cealment of the fact that the resolu
tion was designed to bear upon a mat
ter that should be considered only iu
executive session, and declared liis in
tention to vote for Mr. Lamar. Sen
ator Stewart, of Nevada, lias made
the same announcement of his inten
tion. AmongotherRepudlic.au Sena
tors expected to vote the same way,
are Messrs. Sabin, Sawyer and Cam-
erop. This case will probably be
brought up for consideration to-day.
As the Lamar nomination comes first
on tlie Senate calendar, it must he
acted upon before tlie nominations of
Messrs. Vilas and Dickinson are con
sidered.
As indicated in my last letter, Gen.
Edward S. Bragg, a former Wiscon
sin Congressman, inis been appointed
as M iuister to Mexico, and I still tliink
Mr.- Stockslager will be promoted to
tlie vacant Comtuissionersliip of the
Land Office.
Another Western Congressman is
in trouble with his former landlady.
She was very kind aud devoted to
the Congressman's sick child, hut it
appears that she transferred'hor ten
der feelings from the daughter to tlie
father, and that she claims to be liis
wife, which allegation lie denies and
defies her to prove it. To say tlie
least of it, tlie Congressman was guil
ty of indiscretion, and he is now pay
ing the penalty of his folly.
Tlie politicians of Washington are
much exercised over two important
local Federal offices that have lately
become vacant by limitation—tlie
Upited States District Attorneyship,
audtlie city Postmastership, and as
you may well believe, there is no lack
of applicants. It is thought both
places will be filled with good Demo
crats in a few days.
Many Democrats are complaining
about tlie appointment of one Le
Barnes to lie clerk of the Committee
on Public Lands of tile House, at a
salary of $2,500 per annum. This man
was a Republican, and for twelve
yeafs held a $2,200 law clerkship in
the General Land Office, from which
lie had only been dismissed a week.
This is turning the rascals out with a
vengeance! Happy Le Barnes! ins
decapitation was a blessing in dis
guise, since lie is thereby promoted.
Wince tlie holiday recess, a thous
and hills have been introduced in
Congress, hut of that number only
one has passed botli Houses, and
that is tile bill fixing tlie salary of tlie
Fish Commissioner an official whose
services have heretofore been gratis—
at five tliousupd dollars per annum.
Tlie House has passed a bill decid
ing what shall anil what shall not
be written aud printed on mail mut
ter, and. tlie measure will probably
pass tlie Senate. Another bill pre
sented in the House, in lieu of the
Dependant Pension bill, 4s an act to
pay destitute veterans tlie sum of
eight dollars per month, and there is
a probability that such a moderate
measure may become a law.
The Tlioebe Carlisle contested
election case, as was apparent from
the beginning, has completely col
lapsed,the.report of the Committee on
Elections being practically unan
imous in favor of tlie speaker’s right
to- his seat. Among tlie affidavits
filed was one from Mr. Carlisle.

A field covered with weeds can
not produce its full quota of suc
culent pasture, nor a valuable
crop of hay. On this account a
fixed determination to eradicate
the weeds from tho pastures and
meadows more closely than ever
should be tho purpose of every
farmer. Weeds are tho bane of
good farming, and sure precur
sors of poor crops. This is be
coming such a recognized fact
that a farm foul with weeds is con
sidered unproductive, aud its val
ue is depreciated below its real
worth.

THROUGH THE FOREST.
The Young and Old Danced all Eight
—Our Hardy Ancestor!.
Old men live In tlie past.
Perhaps it would bo better for the
young men of the present, if they liv
ed a little bit more in the past, and
drew less on the future.
The log cabins of primitive times
would seem very cheerless habita
tions to the people who live in tho
finely constructed, furnace heated
mnusions of to-day. But our grand
parents took a great deal of comfort
in these rude homes.
They were rugged and healthy.
The men had stalwart and hardy
frames, and tlie women were free
from tlie modern ailments that make
the sex of to-day practically helpless
slaves to hired foreign help.
White-haired grand-sires frequent
ly took their life partners and oil
horseback rode a score of miles
through tlie forests to enjoy the live
ly pleasures of a frontier ball, danced
till daylight, rode home again in the
early morning, then put in a good
day’s work.
Middle-aged folks of to-day couldn’t
stuud that sort of a racket.
To theso mud-chinked log-cabins
doctors’visits were a rarity. The in
habitants lived to a rugged and green
old age.
Sometimes these log-cabin old-
timers were taken ill. They were not
proof against all the exposures to
which they were subjected. They
found the effective remedies for these
common ailments iu tlie roots and
herbs which grew in tlie neighboring
forests and fields. They had learned
Aliat nature has a cure for every ill.
These potent remedies assisted their
sturdy frames to quickly throw off
disease and left no poison in tlie sys
tem.
Tlie unpleasant, feature of modern
practice with mineral medicines is
the injurious after effect on the sys
tem. May not modern physical de
generacy lie due to this feature?
A drug-saturated system is not in a
natural, consequently, not r> a
healthy state. • If any of tlie maiiV’or-
gaus nre clogged with traces of the
mineral poisons used to drive out a
particular disease, tlie whole machin
ery of life is deranged and early decay
of nutural powers is tlie inevitable re
sult.
There can lie no question that rem
edies from the laboratory of nature
are the best. If they are as effica
cious, they have the advantage of
leaving qo after sting.
Their efficacy, if properly compound
ed, and the proper remedy applied lo
the proper disease, will not be doubt
ed. The experience of ages proves it.
Their disuse lias come about prin
cipally through tlie rapid congrega
tion of people in cities aud villages,
rendering these natural remedies dif
ficult to obtain. Progressive business
enterprise lias lately led to putting
these old time remedies within reach
of all classes.
The proprietors of Warner’s safe
remedies, in tlie faith that tlie people
of to-day would tie benefited by using
tlie simple remedies of log cabin days,
have caused investigations to bo
made and secured the formulas of a
number of those which long and suc
cessful uso had proved to be most
valuable.
They will, we learn, be known un
der tlie general title of “Warner’s Log
Cabin Remedies.” Among these- med
icines will lie a “Sarsaparilla,” for tlie
idood and liver, “Log Cabin Hops
and Bucliu Remedy,” for the stom
ach, etc., “Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption Remedy,” a remedy
culled “Scalpine,” for the hair, “Log
Cahiu’s Extract,” for internal and
external use, and an old valuable dis
covery for catarrh, called “Log Cabin
Rose Cream.” Among tlie list is also
a “Log Cabin Plaster,” and a “Log
Cabin Liver Pill.”
Speaker Carlisle will come to At
lanta and Macon on the 30th and 31st
of the month instead of tlie 23d and
24th as hud been announced. Tlie
change is made on an account of liis
recent, illness.
VIOLENT SORE-THROAT.
1 have for several years been sub
ject, once a year, to a severe inflaiu-
matiou of my throat, usually lasting a
week or more. A lew days ago the
usual symptoms warned me of anoth
er attack, and from the violence of
the symptoms I know that tlie attack
would be loliger and more severe than
usual, and having on several occa
sions been advised by friends to try
Brewer’s Lung Restorer, I procured a
bottle, and began taking it immedi
ately. This was Saturday. On Sun
day I attended church, and Monday
was entirely relieved, and discontin
ued its use. I have felt no symptoms
of the disease siuce, and believe it has
effected a permanent cure.
