While the matter has before been spoken of in theae columns, we again feel it a duty as the pub lic medium, to call attention to the carelessness of our friends from the country in leaving bun dles of supplies in their vehicles when making purchases here, as long us the hogs are allowed to run on the streets. There is scarcely a day hut what some one is the loser by having his stull torn from his buggy by the hogs of the place—that is, the drove of hogs that remain con stantly in touch with the court house square. A buggy or vehicle containing packages of supplies cannot lie left alone a minute or it is ruined. This works a hard ship on many of the good people trading at tins point, aud if pos sible something should be done to remedy tln* evil. W hen the hogs are allowed on the streets, no one owner can be blamed for tln ir ravages. We be lieve their presence creates nil-un called-for sentiment against the place, mid the trade it receives lrom the country. Aside from tin*, it '» a well known fact that kite tilth accumulated hy hogs or other animals is against tin* healt h of t lie i’ll UI'IIS of t he place. I’ntil sentiment is created a«!Mi»ist tie* presence of tie* hogs ■ni tin streets and tln v removed, we insist on the country people protecting themselves by placing nothing m their buggies until they are ready to drive oft— unless they haw tune to stand by il and tight for their rights.

Valdosta Timas: Many of the western Democrats think that it is “undemocratic” to put a reve nue-raising turilY on southern pro ducts, while the amount of the '(farin' 011 their own products is the real test of democratic wisdom | 1 and honesty.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—TiII'USDAV, JUNE 17. 1000. MR. BRYAN FOR THE SENATE. An Omalm dispatch to the New York World says that it is an nounced on the authority of Rich ard Metcalf, the editor of Mr. Bryan’s pajs-r, the Commoner, that Mr. Bryan will he a candi date next winter for the Senate, to succeed Elmer J. Burkett, and thut hi* will be elected, because of a primary law enacted by the last Nebraska Legislature which per mits the people to say who shall lie senator, and provides that a pledge made by a legislative cand idate to support the choice of the people shall have greater | weight than a party pledge. Mr. Bryan is a very optimistic sort of j a man. He is always hopeful of I success. If, however, he should succeed lin getting into the Senate he wouldn’t tind there an atmosphere ! ; altogether agreeable to him. ; Nevertheless lie would be u pow er. owing to bis ability as an ora tor and his prominence in th** Democratic party. Some idea of i the sort of reception lie would re ceive from some of the Democrat ! ic senators may be obtained from an interview that Senator Sim mons, of North Carolina, gave to the Washington Herald the other day. In this interview Senator Sim mons called attention to the dec laration Mr. Bryan made some time ugo to the effect that Demo cratic senators and representa tives who voted fora duty on lum ber in the face of the Democratic platform which expressly says that itimber shall be put on the free list are no longer to be con sidered Democrats. According to Senator Simmons Mr. Bryan himself hasn’t always had the highest regard for the Democratic platform. In 1892 the Democratic national platform contained a declaration in favor of the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on state banks. Mr. Cleve land was elected on that platform. 111 1894 Mr. Bryan was a member of the House of Representatives, and a resolution came up provid j ing for the repeal of this tax. Mr. Brvan voted with the Republicans against, it, thus helping to defeat it. Senator Simmons says that Mr. Bryan excused himself for voting against his party and his party’s platform by saying that he w as elected before the platform was adopted, and also because he stated in his campaign that he was against the repeal of the tux on state hanks. But was the ex cuse a good one? It is certain that ominent Democrats do not think so. They are inclined to tlio belief that he voted against his party and the platform of his party because it was popular to! do so in his district. If Mr. Bryan gets into the Senate he will have another opportunity doubtless to explains his disregard to an im portant plank in the platform of his party. It is very well understood that Mr. Bryan had the free lumber plank put in the Democratic plat form, and there are those who in- I sist that he did so because t ie* people of Nebraska favored free lumber. They are so unkind as to believe that Mr. Bryan was looking after his own political ; welfare on that occasion. It is an J j interesting quarrel which Mr. Brvan has brought about between himself and influential Democra tic senators and representatives when lie undertook to read them out of the Democratic party. It is a quarrel that will have an im portant bearing upon his political future if he again attempts to cap ture the Democratic nomination for President. —Savannah News. HELD AS MOONSHINER.

Headache For Years “I keep Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain j I Pills on hand all the time, and : would not think of taking a journey without them, no mat ter how short a distance I am going. I have a sister that has had terrible headaches for years, and I coaxed her to try them and they helped her so much, she now keeps them by her all the time. From mv own exper ience 1 cannot praise them enough.’’ MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL, 63 High st., Penacook, N. H. Many persons have headache after any little excitement or ex ertion. They cannot attend church, lectures, entertainments, or ride 011 trains without suffer ; ing. Those who suffer in this way should try Dr. Miles’ Anti- Pain Pills.
