year. Malaria is always about, and the
only preventive and relief is to keep the
Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit,
and the best helper is the Old Friend, SIM
MONS Liver Regulator, the Red Z.
Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio,
says: “SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR
broke a case of Malarial Fever of three
years’ standing for me, and less than
one bottle did the business. 1 shall use
it when in need, and recommend it.”
Be sure that you get it. Always look for

■ RICRARD REALF, THE POET.
| A life of Richard ltealf wonld read
i like a romance. He was born in
| England and du his early youth it
j was discovered that he had whnt the
world calls genius. Bryan Waller
| Proctor (Barry Cornwall) and Lady
Byron were greatly interested in him
! and, through their assistance, lie
j went through the scheols and had
entered Cambridge. But lie was way
ward and eccentric, and before tak
ing his degree, haying early imbibed
a love o f freedom, he left the univer
sity, much to the regret of his pa
trons. and came to theUnited States.
Here in the fifties, he, with all that
enthusiasm that characterized him
through life, allied himself to Wils
liam Lloyd Garrison and that host
of fanatics, who first enkindled the
flame of civil war. In the name of
Freedom he contributed poetry and
all kinds oj articles to newspapers
and periodicalsfiiondly to that cause.
It was a matter of conscience with
him and he was un enthusiast on the
subject of liberty. As he himself
says, he did not wait until freedom
became the popular Shiboleth of
courtier’s lips, but with peu and
sword and thoughts that rushed up
hotly from the heart, he ‘‘smote for
her whenGod himself seemed dumb.'’
He was not satisfied with this, how-
eve.’, but joined John Brown in his
border warfare aod was all through
the Kansas struggle. He was with
Brown at Chatham, West Canada,
when “the friends of freedom” as
they denominated themselves, framed
that ideal government, which they
determined should replace the govs
eminent of the United States. Un
der this organization Realf was made
secretary of state, and he was on his
way to join John Brown in YTrginia,
when Brown was captured, tried and
justly executed for the crimes of in
surrection and treason. Enthusiast
and fanatic, as he undoubtedly was,
he hailed the opening of the great
wa- between the States as “the au
gust broadening of that dawn,”
which was to usher in a day of per
fect freedom to all. No knight of the
olden time. Sir Galahad himself, ne’er
went In quest of the Holy Grail, with
mere ardor than lie, with all the in
tensity of his soul, threw himself into
the midst of the great conflict.
Here Is one of his verses which our
o«n Ticknor, or Father Ryan might,
nave sang to stir tile Southern heart:
‘Oh. not alone the hoary past,
Spilied precious princely blood;
Oh. not alone its sons were cast,
In knightly form anil tnood.
Perennial smells of sacrifice,
Make swaet our sickened air,
And troth as leal as Sidney's lies
Around us everywhere. '
Coeur-de-Leons on every field.
Sweet saints in every home,
Through whose dear helping, stands
reveal-d
The joy of martyrdom,
Compassed by whose assuring loves,
Our comrades dared and died,
As blythely as a bride grootn moves,
To meet Ills waiting bride."
Having fought all through the war
on the Union side, he saw his cause
trumphant. But eyen in victorv
there was a sense of disappointment
1 o him. The milleniuni of his hopes
was not realized. TrtiP, the negroes
were emancipated. But there was
Somet hing yet wanting as the crown
ing glory of his dream. He had too
iu camp life contracted that unfortu
nate tiabit of drinking to excess.—
Shortly after the war, while iu Cin
cinnati, on a drunken spree, he mar
ried a woman of the town. When lie
recovered Irorn bis debauch and re
alizing what he had doue, he was
filled with horror end remose. Short
ly afier this, he wandered West and
finally landed iu San Francisco. Du
ring his residence in that city, lie
contributed freely to the periodicals
and newspapers of the day, prduu-
cing poetry that a Lougfeilow would
have tieen proud to acknowledge as
his own. About this period lie says
of himself that
“His lips were still kissed,
Daily by those tiigh angals, who assuage.
The Burstings ot the poets—for ho was
Born unto singing—ami a burthen lay
Mightily on him, and he moaned because
He could not rightly utter to tlio day
What God taught him in the night. Some
times nevertheless
Power fell on him kml bright tongues of
flame.
And blessings reached him from poor souls
In stiess,
And benedictions from black pits of shame.
And little children’s love and old men’s
p ravers.
And a Great Hand that led him unawares.”

Washington Letter
Prom Our Rrgular (tarrttsponrirnl.
Washington, Nov. 7, 1895.
The distinguished war piophetsy
who have been on the rampage in
New England,Washington,and other
parts of the country, should bag
their heads and lock their jaws for
awhile. Instead of the red-haoded
ultimatum, demanding that we
should either abandon the Monroe
doctrine or fight, which these self
made prophets have declared was in
the course of preparation by Eng
land, the English Ambassador has,
through Secretary Olney,approached
President Cleveland witn an olive
branch in the shape of a proposi
tion, that the United States should
form an alliance with England for
the protection of English and Aiuer
lean citizens and intere.-ts in Turkey.
True, this proposition has nothing
directly to do with the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine in Venezu
ela, which has inspired all the wur
prophesies, but even a. sohoin buy
can see that England would not
be asking an alliance with a cou. »
try that she expected soon to b-
at war with. Whether Pre-ideut
Cleveland sees fit. to accept this al
liance or not, tlie fact that it Inis
been asked foi should be suffiuent to
cause Senator Chajidler and Hon.
Don M. Dickerson to stop sitting up
o’niglits to keep Canada sneaking
New Hampshire and Michigan away
from u-. Notwithstanding Presiueut
Cleveland's known aversion to “en
tangling foreign alliances” the im
pression among those who ought to
know is that lie will accept this invi
tation to act jointly with England in
protecting English and American cit
izens in Turkey, owing to the threat
ening aspect of affairs in that coun
try.
The B«th Iron Works, of Bath,
the builders of Ihe Aiutuen ram
Katahdin, are in a hole so to speak.
The naval trial board has reported
to 8ecctary Herbert that the vts-
sei fell below the speed required on
her trial trip. According to ih i con
tract the vessel now stands rejected,
Tiie ground is taken by some naval
officials that unless Congress cow-s
to their release, the Bath Iron Work'
will have to sell the Kaiahdiu wher
ever they can. But the matter is
complicated by the fact that, about
$700,000 wortli of armor belonging to
tlie U. S. is on the vessel. No offi
cial action lias yet been taken , by
-Secrejury Herbert. It is the belief
that lie will gladly accept tlie vessel
if any bgal way of doing so can be
fourni.
Attorney General Harmon is still
getting letters from lawyers and bus
iness men, in Indian Territory, en
dorsing J ndge Kilgore and the man
tier in which he has conducted the
buriuess of the U. B. Court wuicli he
presides over in that territory.
Judge Kilgore’s answer to the
charges made against him tv Mr.
Dayis has been iu the hands of At
torney General Harmon for nearly a
week, and the impression is general
that the explanation will be satis,
factory so far us the Department of
Justice is concern'd, but it is under
stood that Mr. Davis will use the
earns charges to try to prevent tlie
confirmation ot Judge Kilgore’s nom
ination by the Senate.
Senator Harris, of Tenn., presi
dent, pro tern of the Senate, is confi
dent Glut tne republicans will no!
control the Senate during the fifty
fours li Congress. Speaking of
changes that • must necessuril»■ be
made, lie said: “I am in favor of tlie
two parties appointing committees
which shall meet and agree upon a
just and equitable organtzaiion of
tiie Senate with a view of cone not
ing tlie busihess of tiie body prop
erly. The vacancies ou committees
must be filled and the new Senators
must be assigned to comuiir.ien
places. I would haye the organiza
tion do full justice to the popudte
party, but 1 am not in favor of mak
ing a combination witn tlie populite
party for the control of the Seuaie.
by which their demands are to he
met. I do not think tlie republican
Senators will be williug to make
such -a combination. In a Senate
where no party has a majority it Is
right and sensible for the two dom
inant parties, in fact for the Senate
ilself, to agree upon an organization
just and equitable to all, and that I
am confident that the Senate '“ill do
in a manner creditable to itself as a
legi-lutiue body.”
The attention of those who are suf-
fein; with (lie t.uban recognition
colic is respectfully called to the foi*-
lowing weighty words of Hon. Jobn
T. Morgan, chairman of me Senate-
committe on Foreign v Relations:
"Any recognition of belligerency on
onr p irt would rpsuit in cans ng onr
merchant vessels to be subjected tc*
s'arch, and that would give » great
deal of auxietv and trouble, andl
there is no doubt, that eventuality*
such a course would remit to a war be~
tween tiie United States and Spain.
It m y as well he understood that
when we recognize the belligerency
of the Cubans we should draw tbe>
sword.” Senator Morgan thinksi
that if the United States wants
Culm it ought to go about, getting it
in an open and ’iuanly wav, not by
war with a comparatively weak
power like Spain, but by offering to
purchase the i-land.
