That depends upon the Liver, fur if the Liver in inactive the whole system ia out of order the breath is lmd, digCHtion poor, head dull or aching, en ergy and hopefulness gone, tlio spirits are depressed, a heuvy weight cxiuts after eat ing, with general despondency and the blues. The liver is the housekeeper of the health; and a harmless, simple remedy that acts like Nature, does not con stipate afterwards or require constant taking, does not inter fere with business or pleasure during its use, makes Simmons fji ver Regulator a medical per fection. I have tested its virtues personally, and know that for Dyspepsia, Uillious ncss and Throbbing Headache, it is the best medicine the world ever saw. Have tried forty other remedies before Simmons Liver Regulator, and none of them gave more than temporary relief, but the Regulator not only relieved but cured. II. II. JONES, Macon, Oa.

A Grand Success The third unnual banquet of the Young Men's Kepublican club, of I'lattsinouth, was given lust Friday night at the "Wa terman opera house. It proved a most brilliant success from every standpoint. The hall was urtistically decorated with national colors. One of the attractive features of the decoration was two large American flags hanging gracefully over the stage, and under them the Hag of Irelaud. The banquet tables were made into two extending diagonally across the room, crossing at the center. The tables were spread with white linen and pro fusely decorated with flowers and cover ed with tempting viands, all the delica cies and substantial of the Benson being represented. The feast began at 9:20 and continued till all had satitfied their ap petites. There being ubout one hundred prescut. At 10 o'clock the president, Mr. L. A. Dorringtou, annouueed the opening of the after dinner programme. The ad dress of welcome was made by J. B. STRODE of this city, who recited in a few words the great things accomplished by the re publican party. Ue also mentioned the rapid growth of industries and echools made under republican administrations and in behalf of the Young Men's Repub lican club extended to the guests a hearty welcome. Mr. Strode then read letters of regret from II. II. Shcdd, A. S. Fad dock, Charles F. Manderson and John J. Ingalls. The toast, "Republican Nebraska," was responded to by GOV. JOHN M. THAYEB of Lincoln, who spoke for some time in in a comical strain which caused a great deal f laughter intermingled with ap plause, but as the governor deepened in his subject his expression became more sincere and laughter turned to hearty ap plause. Mr. Thayer began with the ear liest days of Nebraska when the democrats were about the only party here and the republicans were so few they hardly dared to stir for fear of tho jeers and taunts of the other party. At this time slavery was being introduced into Ne braska, and in 1851 Gov. Thayer and about thirty other republicans succeeded in holding a convention in Plattsmouth. It was the first one held in Nebraska, and from then on the party grew rapidly till 18G0 when tho republicans succeeded in electing large enough majority to the state legislature to declare that "slavery should then and forever be wiped out from Nebraska." The governor contin ued his review of "Republican Nebraska" up to the present day and rebuked the first district heartillv for permitting a democrat to represent them, but he com plimented the Y. M. R. C. for its push and earnestness and said it was a good example of what should be in every city in Nebraska, His closing thoughts were for Ireland, in which he expressed a de sire to see her soon a free nation. Gov. Thaver was followed by a toast on "The Signs of the Times" by JUDGE F. M. BARTLETT of Omaha. The judge was of the opinion that "TheSignes of the Times" showed it necessary that there should by two par ties, one to watch the other, and so long as the repuplican party remained, wheth er in ofliee or out of othce, the govern ment remained safe. He thought it was right for the republicans to hold office under a democratic administration, and he believed Cleveland 6howed his good sense by not turning them out. From appearances the judge was al most alone in his opinions, and although applauded at intervals his toast did not take so well as some others. Mr. Bartlett was followed by a toast entitled "The Success of Ireland's Strujurle for Justice and Liberty" by HON. PATRICK EG AN of Lincoln. lie spoke as follows: Mil President and Gentlemen: In behalf of the cause with which it my privilege and my pride to have been so intimately associated, and in behalf of my brother Irishmen, . both those who think as we do here tonight in American politics and those who differ from cs, I have to thank the Young Men's Republi can club of Plattsmouth for the senti ments conreyed in the toast, which you have so cordially received, Sentiments which must go straight to the heart of Ireland s is es in this action to be used as evioence on me 1 ITt is a trreat pleasure and a triAi of the above entitled cause, with autheri- 1 1" 18 farc , -. . ty to adjourn from day to day until such depo- . T . : , .,11 h o VA hAAti tnlz PT1. 1 r-, Simo.v L.KESE&, Plaintiff, s Wooslev, Atty. " 10-4 great en couragement to find the justice of Ire land's demands becoming so well under stood and so heartily approved by the great liberty-loving people of America, because in this age when the pen is not less potent than the sword, when the force public opinion is oftentimes more power ful than armed legions, the intelligent, the disinterested opinion of sixty millions of American people must make aye anl is making itself felt in behalf of Ire land. Charles Stewart Parnell, Michael Davitt, Justin McCarthy and all the lead ers of the Irish movement at home appre ciate this warmhearted American sympa thy as their mainstay. "While Gladstone, whom I have always spoken ot even when I was most bitterly opposed to his policy as the greatest statesman of this generation, has stated that there is no other factor in the present struggle on which he sets more value than the sym pathy and encouragement he is receiving from this side of the Atlantic. This broad generous American sympa thy is best described in the burning words of one of America's most brilliant and patriotic sons a man of whom every citizen of this land, regardless of party, should feel justly proud JameG. lilaine. (Anlausc.) Mr. Blaine in his great speech at Portland, Maine, a year ago, after de scribing how England, while apparently not appreciating her own course toward Ireland, had never failed in the hist fifty years to extend her sympathy, and some times her helping hand, to oppressed na tionalities of Europe struggling against tyranny said: "The people of the United states therefore imitate many examples of England and quite apart from any consideration, except the broad one of human fellowship, stand torth as the friends of Ireland in Iter present distress. They do not stand forth as democrats; they do not stand forth as republican; they do not stand lortu as Catholics, tney do not stand forth as Protestants; but they stand forth as citizens of a free re public, sympathyzing with freedom throughout the world." That is the sym pathy we of the Irish movement seek; that is the sympathy we appreciate and which England appreciates, to; and such is the sympathy conveyed in your toast here this evening. There are those who say that participa nt in this Irish struggle lessens our al legiance and interferes with our duties as American citizens. I can best answer that statement by quoting an old adage which I first heard from my friend Alex ander Sullivan, of Chicago. "A bad son never made a good husband." Find me the Irishman who disowns or is a rene gade from his native land, and there are a few such creatures to be found, and I will show vou a bad American citizen, a corrupt American politician; but get me the man who is a true lrisn nationalist, who has never forgotten his suffering motherland, never forgiven her tyranni cal oppressors, and in him you will find a citizen ready at a moments notice to shed the last drop of his blood for the preservation of the great, the glorious in stitutions of his adopted country. A.nd whenever it becomes necessary to uphold the Union or to avenge an insult to our starry banner, he will be found in the front rank of Americas ueienuers. (Cheers.) There are certain politicians who never trouble themselves regarding Ireland uu til about election times when they discov er a deep interest in the cause and they aro tlif neoi ile who srcnerallv set up the claim that in order to be a true Irisman one has trot to be a good democrat and that to be anything else is about the same thiutr as beinc a renegade. JNow, l nave never met amongst my Irish republican friends a sincle one who disputed for a moment the right of any other man to be and remain a democrat so long as his po- srrnnnthies led him that wav: but awvs J - - ' I have met innumerable Irish American, and even French, American democrats who could not understand how or by what process of reasoning I, an Irishman, had dared to become a republican who hold, in fact, that every Irishman should lAiiifciat. I state from here to the neoi.le who hold those views that I re gard such a proposition as an nibun broad, epen insult to my common sense and to the common sense of the thinking element of my countrymen; and I further tell them that the day is long past when rtv or an v set of men can claim a liinrtacre on the votes oi lnsumen. rrt . No man in America to-day respects more cordially than I the opinions of my Inmost, earnest democratic friends and I but claim for my views and lor those oi tvnr fmintrvmeii who think as I do. the same respect. I claim the right of a full, . .t 11 A. free, unfettered liberty tne same yueny sieenrded every other American citizen to support the party I believe capable of doing most good to me uesi interests ui tho eountrv: the party which I think most capable of maintaining the honor and the dimity of America and her flag among the nations of the world. For years the term Irishman was sup posed in this couutry to convey that the norson alluded to was an Irishman, a -. -. i - -l .i e rithniio arui a uemocrat. ami mose ui our nationality who came from the north of Ireland and happened to profess the Presbyterian creed endeavored to distin guish themselves from the rest of their countrymen by calling themselves Scotch Irish, a term which I never heard uttered extept in America. Our northern friends can now gracefully lay aside the adjec tive Scotch, for I thank God that the term Irishman is not any longer limited to any class or creed, but embraces every son of the old laud, no matter what province of Ireland he came from and no matter what way he says his prayers, or whether he says any prayers at all; and I think we Irishmen, democrats as well as republicans, should feel glad that our countrymen are no longer the slaves or blind followers of any ring or any party For my own part I am a double dyed republican. (Loud clapping.) I wa3 one from conviction and sympathy th& re sult of careful study before I ever saw this country, and every day's experience has tended to strengthen and confirm nie in the faith. I trust, however, that I shall never become a blind partiz.au and that in this country as in the old, my sympathies and actions will receive the credit of being at least dictated by hon est motives. Again I thank yon for your warm ex pression of sympathy for the cause of that clorious old land, which is so dear to me, and for having done me the honor to couple my name with these sentiments. (Great applaus.) Mr. Egan was followed by an address entitled, "The Kepublican Press," by II. M. JiPSIINKM. of Lincoln. Mr. Bnshncll had not had time to commit his toast to memory and so was compelled to speak from his cop- py. His address was as follows: Fellow Republicans ok tmk Y. M.R.C: The republican press was the outgrowth of a principal in the unerring progress of humaue government. The revolution came that applied the torch to the signal hre upon the mountain that tree son, iree speech and free men should prevail in the republic, and at that hour ihe repub lican press was iu existence. It came like the product of dragon's teeth sown in the night a mailed warrior. U came with honest manhood ot the day To cope with wervile doublings ana uec.y. But the republican press came not with out bitterness and struggles and sacrihce. In the older days when Faust with his invention of movable types abandoned his trade of .ilver smith and introduced to Paris his new invention, he paid the common penalty of primal reformers. And yet on the very foundation stones of the prison where he perished stands to day the office of Le J'ettit Journal that has double the sworn circulation of any paper on the earth. Four centuries since have seen the same eliniaxe's reached. Before the new party was formed in this country that was to prevent disunion and preserve, in fact, the republic, the penal ties were being paid for free thought and free speech by pioneers of the republican 1 . ... .i..i5.i i press. Ana the pioneers were in lueneiu. as the republican prcsss oi tociay is array ed against the reaction and nonprogres- ion of bourbon democracy, so were the pioneers in the republican press forever with their faces et against the "progress" of the democratic press, that in the days of the fifties preferred disunion and dis honor and ignominy to its life long and never ending policy of masterly inactivi ty. The pioneers of free speech who were rejected, persecuted ana aespisea ny tnose who attempted to build up a party urns fell short of the absolute tenets of free speech and free men, became the chief corner stone of the republican press when the republican party united on its onward march. . . The New York Tribune founded by Horace Greely, the Albany Journal with the then venerable Thurlow Weed at its helm and scores of other journals find their destiny in the ranks ot a new party. But free speech had its champion and its martvr on the plains ot Illinois wno scat tered the seed that the republican press harvested later on. In five years' time Elij di Lovejoy, because he dared to print and publish his convictions, had live printing offices destroyed, one in St. L , - . iu. . tii: : it Louis and tour in vuou, mmui. v dalism urged by the bourbon press of tho dark age3 in this government, burned and destroyed the office that dared to act and advocate free speech; and with me indomitable will of a martyr to principle, Lovejoy persisted until he was murdered while defending with friends the machin ery that pudlished his truths. The great state of Illinois acquitted the murderers but it was the sowing of the wind. Ihe minciule thev could not throttle and in the whirlwind of events that preceeded the. stru'rle at arms, Illinois marched crrandlv under the republican banner, Tho. blood of the martyred ioveioy be came the seed of the new dispensation, nnrl from that dav. that state lias been a follower of the republican press. A wain the rioters against free speech nnd the abolition of the slave relic of barbarism in the Kansas struggle sacked and mobbed the territorial Registtr in Lc.enworth that dared demand for that territory free soil and freedom from slav- erv. lllis pioneer nautr m rcuuuuutu journalism in Kansas was silenced, but old John Brown on the prairie at ussa- watimie reasserted the same principle that was smothered in the destruction of a free press, and his protest effectually fired the nation. There is not a man to day who loves his country and its free dom but that loves old John Brown whose bones moulder in the rugged moun tains of the Adirondacks, while his sou eoes marching on ! The republican press led its party in its infancy; it nominated John t;. rreniont The republican press called ior the fearless explorer who had made the Rocky mountains no more a dividing line between the known and the unknown and it was free speech, freedom and Fremont in the magnificent campaign of '5G. When the ciisis came that was to decide whether the land should be sever ed and exist half slave and half free, the republican press was the voice for union It was in wonderful contrast with the democratic press of that day that shoutet treason in the south and in the north cowered like a coward and pleaded for dishonor and harlotted with harpies o disunion. Time aud eternity cannot dim the honor of the republican press in those days, or blot from the book of remem brance the record builded by the organs of democracy. When Fort Sumpter fel the New York Tribune said, "Fort Samp ter is los' but freedom is saved" and this became the united voice of the re Continued on 7th Page, ttJ-TD - THIS I For a short (ini only wi! ollor SPECIAL : BARGAINS I3ST n tr Xizdim In! iiens, Piques, Fzmcy Nainsooks ,axr : AXI THE TvATEST NOVEIri ES.
