There is one tiling about President
McKinley says the Albany Herald, that
all of us can admire, and that i« the love
and veneration which he displays for
his aged mother. It is a good son who
---puaiUUIJ Ul
trust and honor that the American peo
pie can bestow, always find time to be
stow, though one of
tbe busiest men alive, to try and make
dear mother's last days comfortable and
happy. Mr McKinley is a big man, but
he's still his mothers boy, and our admir
ation for him fas grown exceedingly
after having seen the pains he lias taken
to show his aged mother, in her last de
dining days, that lie's just the same to
her as w hen he climbed her knee in
childhood.
Why should not the people select all
the judges, solicitors and kindred offi
cials. Have not the people sense enough
to know good men from had? If not, an
era of corruption will he engendered
thereby, then the power to elect those
who are to rule over them should be
taken from the people entirely, and p..w
er l»e given to the legislature to elect the
governor, county officers, etc. with right
also, of choosing their own successors.
To argue that the people are riot eoni| e
tent to choose one class is to argue they
are not competent to choose the other.~

WHERE IS IT ‘Air
Tom Watson Wants to Know What Has
Become of His Party.
Hon Tom Watson wants to know what
has ttecome of the populist party. In a
signed editorial in tire' last Bsue of the
the People's Party Paper Mr Watson
says: in Mary
•; Will some zealous believer
Ann Butler tell us what that eminent
fraud has done with the People's party?
Where was it during the recent elec
tions? What rigure did it cut? What
WhH its vo te?
j n off-year elections after the
presidential year of 1892 the People's
party was intact, well organized, aggres
sive. coherent and effective. It polled
nearly two million populist votes, cast
f‘>r populist candidates running upon
populist platforms.
From North to S<uth it was united,
from east to west it knew but one doc
trine and followed but one flag.
Where is the party now?
After noticing its defeat in many states
Mr vVatson concludes in this language:
“In Colorado how was it—Colorado
where a few years ago a populist gov
ernor ruled triumphant? Democrats nnd
republicans united and routed the popu
lists who had been torn into factions by
tbe fusion of 1896.
Our party in 1892-4-6 was growing in
Virginia and Maryland, Where is it
now? Done!
Not a grease spot left in the pan.
lu Kentucky how was it? Brave Joe
fed the middle of th* road %h«
brilli antly. but with Butler
knifing him all , the , time . he was power
less to make , headway. , ,
In Iowa how was it—the home of
James B Weaver? Less than six tlious
and populists remain, the others are dem
ocratic in name, in policy, in principle
and in organization, As populists they
nave absolutely no separate existence.
Tiie democrats have swallowed them
•bodacously.’
So it is al 1 around. A magnificent
party of two million men has disappear
ed. It has been swallowed upas though
the earth had opened and taken it in.
Such annihilation has not been known
since the earthquake of Lisbon.
Will some zealous ButWrite pleas*
tell us what that eminent fraud has
done with the people's party? Has he lost
it? Has he hid it? lias lie loaned it out?
A Majority of the White Vote.
It is gratifying to Mr. Walsh’s friends
uiuiugi.uu, lhe coun try to learn fI
he ,
at the recent eirr
received a maio- white votes
cast. e. uiat be would have been
elected if the entire negro vote had been
thrown out. This doubtless saved him
from the unpleasant alternative resort
ed to by Congressman Black, who re
signed lather than accept a com mis
sion secured by the methods resorted
lo by his too zealous friends.
Again we congratulate Mayor Walsh.
A burden is lifted by the assurance
alKive recited.
We gladly make this announcement,
because The Telegraph, while its sym
pathies were with Mr. Walsh in the
fight, condemned as sharply as it knew
how the methods which prevailed in
Augusta.
Now let there be henceforth, there
and elsewhere, white primaries. The
good nan,e of Geor S' H and her people of
the Caucasian race demand it. A re
form, quick, sure, sweeping must come.
We repeat: The way to relegate the
purchasing of votes is to eliminate the
purchasable votes.—Macon Telegraph.

A CLEVER TRUK.
It certainly looks like it. hut there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has a lame Imck and weak
kidneys; malarial or nervous troubles.
We mean that he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine tones up the whole system;
««»«» a stimulant lo 'h^ live,
neys, is a lilood purifier and nerve tonic.
It cures constipation, headach#, fainting
Hindis, sleeplessness and melancholy. It
is purely vegetable a mild laxative and
restores the system to its natu al vigor.
Try Electric Bitters arid he convinced
that they are a miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50 c a bottle at.

An exchange says: “How easy a thing
it is to smirch character. Like a spotless
lily, growing in its quiet retreat.reced
ing sunshine and showtris rendered un
sightly by the rude touch of a thing
passed by, so is that of the character of
every one. Some hands know not how
to touch them but to destroy and some
tongues know not bow to speak but lo
detile. These hands today offer gilts
but tomorrow they wield a dagger.
These tongues may whisper peace today,
but tomorrow they speak forth words of
woe and despair. The breath of such
people is tainted w ith treachery and
treason, and beware of them, for lolthey
destioy you, marrow and bone.”
THE GREATEST DISCOVERY YET.
XV M Repine, editor Tiskilwa III. Cheif
says; We won't keep house without
King s Mew Discovery for consumption
coughs and colds. Experimenting with
many others, but never got the true
remedy until we used Dr King s New
Discovery. No other remedy can take
its place m onr home, as in it we liave
a certain and sure cure for coughs, colds
whooping cough, etc—It is idle to ex
periment with other remedies even if
tney are urged on you as just as good as
Dr King's New Discovery. 'They are
not as good because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is guaranteed
It never fails to sa\isfy. Trial bottles

Most girls are pleased to be thought

man to find that he is spoken ^.-rt.s hand

~ - - pwastug to us we shall common
fv find that it is not fau-nessof complex
ion or eveness of feature that we admire
b it a merry smile, a kindly expression,
a frank honest look—it is re lly tin
character of the person expressed in the
face which attracts us. But a face does
not respond to the effort of the moment.
It is a revelation of the habitual attitude

ONE OF;TWO WAYS.
--
The bladder was created for one pur
pose. namely, a receptacle for the urine
and as such t is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from the imperfect
action of the kidneys. The second wav
is from careless local treatment of other
diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the cheif a .use of bladder trou
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if net
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness ov disease, except in rave cases. It
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kidneys
hack, bladder or urinary passage is often
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or wornhtrouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set, jour
urine aside for twenty four hours;a sedi
meut or settling indicates kidney *,r
bladder trouble. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Dr Kilmers Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. At
druggists fifty cents and one dollar. You
may have a sample bottle and pamphlet
both sent free by mail. Mention Schley
