nouncing their party leaders every

fort to carry the negro vote.
The Breeze lias as great respect for
the better element of the colored citi
zens, as any populist in Collee county
can possibly have, and we hate to see
the pops making tools of them and
getting their votes on false promises.
Reports front over the state show
that the decent Populists are growing
suspicious of tho scoundrelly leaders
who are trying to swap their votes
with Republicans. An honest Popu
list can not vote a Republican ticket.
Brunswick Advertiser.
The democrats are willing for the
negroes to put out a republican ticket.
The pops want the negroes to endorse
their ticket. And yet the pops say the
democrats are meddling with the ne
groes. In the name of “Jehovah and
the Continental Congress" who is do
ing the meddling?

Tho Douglas Leader has become a
travesty upon journalism. It is al
most as bad as the Dupont Guido once
was—patent outside and a sorry mix
ture of Populism and Republicanism
on tlie inside. The Leader evidently
needs a big dose of worm medicine.—
W.iycross Herald.
Mark Twain is the next famous
man to be "anecdotalized” by the
Ladies’ Home Journal, and bis closest
friends have contributed twenty tun
nv stories alsiut the humorist for the

BLANCO, TIIH BLUFFKIt.
Captain General Blanco is not so
expert a butcher as Wcylcr but be is
an equally accomplished liar and he
keeps his type-writer in just as good
ruuning order. He has issued a pro
clamation announcing that owning
to the intervention of foreign powers
.Spoilt had been Mreed to i.Lc disgrace
ful issue of suing for peace and giving
up Cuba, as she could not tight all
the powers combined. This is calcu
lated to lire the Coltiberiau heart
with a propci sense of Spanish import
ance. Honor ia saved. It requires a
lot of saving but it has been done.
Blanco also appears 'o he a good
Christian. He suggests that the Cu
lm be forgiven and he no longer re
gal ad as enemies. That is very nice
of lijj.i especially now that the Cu
bans are likely to be on top. it is
eminently proper to forgive a man
who has , u down, ft may have the
I ■ ....
it mum!.-; a great deal more dignified.
TUG i’ASHING OJ I’OI’L'JjISM.
The purpose of leading Populists
and reformers in the Eleventh district
is displaying itself. The Douglas
Leader, probably the organ of the dis
trict, (?) lias two very suggestive para
graphs in its last issue. It says : “The
Old Eleventh speaks out, in the nom
ination of Hon. J. M. Wilkinson,
which makes us feel higher, larger
round.” It also notified Col. Brantley
that his “old party is dead,” and that
McKinley will officiate at the funeral
obsequies in 1900.” There seems to
be a square deal of the leaders all
along the line It is perhaps just as
well that the honest voter should know
that their leaders arc ready to dojiny
thing to get office; but no decent,
honest, conscientious Populist will trail
himself into the Republican party as
a moans of getting relief from bad
legislation.—Brunswick Advertiser.
You very aptly picture the condi
tions as they exist in Coffee county.
The politicians of the Populist per
suasion rue doing everything in their
power to keep the parly together.
Nationally the party is dead—killed
by its own leaders while they were
fighting among themselves, but Kx ally
they hope to get elected to a tew more
offices before the thing finally peters
out.
The office-seekers are getting des
perate, and are allowing the more rea
ped able white people to quit their
party rather than lose the negro vote.
This is proven every week by the
great number of populists who are
rejoining tho democratic party. They
say they cannot follow thoir populist
leaders into the Republican party.

Ail Uncertain e.
There is no disease more uncertain in it*
nature than dyspepsia. Physicians say that
the symptoms of no two cases agree, it is
therefore most difficult to make n correct
diagnosis. No matter how severe, or under
whatdisgnisedyspepsM attacks* you, Browns’
Iron Bitt- rs will cure it. Invaluable in all
diseases of the stomach, blood and nerves.

About one month ago my child
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. 1 gave it such remedies as
usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for a phy
sician and u was under his care for a
week. At this time the child had
been sick for about ten days and was
having about twenty-live operations
of the bowels every twelve hours, and
we were convinced that unless it soon
obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy was recommended, and
1 decided to try it. I soon noticed a
a change for the better; by its contin
ued use a complete cure was brought
about and it is now perfectly healthy.
