Drink Water.
There are very few people that
appreciate the importance of
drinking water. Many persons
merely drink water to satisfy thirst;
they think that is all that is
and as there are a large
of people who care very little
for water they fail to make water-
a habit. One great
trouble is people don't drink water
enough to properly thin the blood
secretions and that
the system can be cleaned of its
worn out matter speedily. I had a
friend whose health failed ; she con
a physician ; she began tell-
her feel-

the heart, numbness of the limbs

plied that she seldom ever cared for
water; sometimes she drank a glass
at her dinner but not often. His
prescription was to drink at least a
half gallon of water during the day,
she found the action of the
heart better, and her other symptoms
relieved, then she could decrease the
quantity. But he said every one
should drink over a quart of water
daily, at different times. Another
celebrated physician, when asked as
to bis opinion of the efficacy of some
noted springs, said the only good
derived from them, was the
of water people felt called on to
drink when they went to such places.
If they drank just as much at home
they would never need go to springs
for health. The human body needs

It gives a trusting peace

Her trouble dates to the publics.
The constant encouragement of

With that she relapsed once more
into her reading, and I went to the
Capitol alone, and a portion of her
prediction came to pass.
Nor is it unusual for ladies to go
to the Capitol. On the contrary, it is
quite the thing, and one can often
spend a very pleasant afternoon
there, especially on the house side,
where men are plenty and many of
them are young, gay gallant, for
age have a very serious

been running a long time; and
charming little parties of ladies go
to the Capitol, and meeting their
statesmen friends there, indulge
delightful lunches in the house res-

daughters go there, too, and on
special occasions, when speeches
are to be made, they are always in

the gallery; the look of the anxious
man below and the encouraging

ambitions on the speaker, and to
them the national legislature is
important only because
he is there.
Yet the galleries are abused and
many women are admitted who

ADDRESS.
Friday afternoon at three o'clock
a large audience assembled the
Opera House to hear the literary
address by Rev. S. M. Smith, of
Washington. The exercises were
opened with a song by a class of
little girls- Prayer was then offer-
ed by Rev. R. B. John, pastor of
the M. E. Church. The orator was
introduced by Mr. J. H. Tucker in
a very and appropriate speech.
Mr. Smith spoke for nearly an hour,
but said it was an error about his
going to make a literary address, as
he was only going to make a plain,
practical talk. His subject

The Platform.
The Democratic party of the
United States in National
assembled renews the pledge of
fidelity to Democratic faith, and re-
affirms the platform adopted by its
representatives in the Convention of
1844, and endorses the views ex-
pressed by President Cleveland in
his last earnest message to Con-
as the correct Interpretation
of that platform upon the question
of tariff reduction; and also endorses
the efforts of our Democratic
in Congress to secure a
reduction of executive taxation.
Among its principles of party-
faith are the maintenance of in-
of free
States, now about to enter
upon its second century of
progress and renown ; devotion
to a plan of by
a written constitution strictly
every granted power, and ex
reserving to the States or
people the ungrateful residue
of power; the encouragement of
jealous popular vigilance, directed
to all who have been chosen for brief
terms to enact and execute laws,
and are charged with the duly of
preserving peace, insuring equality
and establishing justice.
The Democratic party only-
welcomes an exacting scrutiny of
the administration of the executive
power which four years ago was
committed to its trust in the
election of Grover Cleveland as
President of the United States, bat
it challenges the most searching in-
concerning its fidelity and de-
to the pledges which invited
the suffrage of the people.

cry of American labor for a better

prise is fettered bound down to

The Democratic party will con-
all the power confided to
it to to reform these laws in
accordance with the pledges of its
last platform, at the ballot
by the suffrages of the
all industrious freemen of our land.
The immense majority, including
every tiller of the soil, gain no ad-
vantage from executive tax laws,

they buy is increased by the

AU unnecessary taxation
is unjust; it is repugnant to the
creed of Democracy that by such
taxation the cost of the necessaries
of life should be unjustifiably in
creased to all our people.
Judged by Democratic principles
tho interests of the people are be-
when, by unnecessary tax-
trusts and combinations are
permitted to exist, which, while
duly enriching the few that combine,
rob our citizens by depriving them
of the benefits of natural
Every Democratic rule of govern-
mental action is violated when,
through unnecessary taxation, a
vast sum of money, far beyond the
needs of an economical
is drawn from the people and
the channels of trade,
lated as a demoralizing surplus in
the national treasury. The money
now lying idle in the Federal
treasury, resulting from super-
taxation amounts to more
than one hundred and twenty-five
millions, and the surplus collected
is reaching the sum of more than
sixty millions annually.
Debauched by this immense temp-
the remedy of the republican
party is to meet and by
extravagant appropriations and ex
whether constitutional or
not, the accumulation of
taxation. The Democratic
policy is to enforce frugality the
public expense and abolish
taxation.
Our established domestic
tries and should not and
need not be endangered by a
and correction of the burdens
of taxation. On the contrary, a
fair and careful revision of our tax
laws, with due allowance or differ-
between wages of American
and foreign labor, must promote
and encourage every branch of such
industries and enterprises, by giving
them assurance of an extended mar-
and steady and continuous op-
in the interests of American
labor, which should in no event be
neglected.
The revision of our tax laws con-
by the Democratic party
should promote the advantage of
such labor, by cheapening the cost
of the necessaries of life the home
of every working man, and at the
same time securing to him steady
employment.
Upon this question of tariff re
form so closely concerning every
phase of out life, and upon
every question involved in the pro-
duct of good government, the Dem-
party submits its principles
and professions the intelligent
suffrages of the American people.

Mr. James not only one
of most distinguished American

American authors. He is
well qualified to give an opinion as
to journalism as a profession for
young men. In a conversation not

them should become a journalist

But our objection chiefly lies in
direction. It offers a poor
field for a living in
fact. It is a profession that creates
other men, but does not particularly
help the creator. The editorial room
is not a good stepping stone to high-
position. That is our observation
through forty years. You will be

The above is an extract from an
editorial in the last issue of the In-
the Episcopal Con-
recently in session at
bury, X. C. We were greatly
prised to learn that equality,
even to the extent mentioned, had
found abiding place in Wades-
and we should have hesitated
to give credence to the statement
had we seen it in almost any other
paper. As it is we must believe
but our of the denomination
which encourages it has suffered a
back-set.
We believe it to be the Christian
duty of ecclesiastical
nation and of every individual to
aid in the educational elevation of
Negro race. As an order of beings
in every way their superiors, it is
the duty of the white people to
guide and direct them, to lead
them to a higher plane of existence.
How far and what this
high aid should extended is a question
rd upon which is much diversity
of opinion; but no one but a fanatic
will for a moment entertain the pro-
position that the standard of the
Anglo Saxon race must be lowered
order to equalize the two races
intellectually and otherwise and to
put upon the same plane
ally and morally. And that is the
only way by which the two races
can be equalized. God Almighty
created the Negro with a black
skin and with an intellect inferior
to that of the white race, it is
our honest, firmly rooted opinion
that it was His intention that the
two races should remain separate
Mid distinct and that the superior
race should govern and guide in all
things.
II this be so, the denomination
which receives Negroes into its
-schools and church
on an equal footing with the
whites is treading on dangerous

the Sunday school chapel to
