Some people need to have their natural
vigor constantly reiaforced in the same
proportion that it is used up. They need
the fortifying help of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It is a powerful altera
tive and invigorant of the digestive func
tions and liver; it cleanses the blood, and
makes fresh blood and healthy flesh. Nerv
ous, debilitated women should take it in
conjunction with Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription which is specially designed for
female weakness and nervous troubles.
Mrs. Sallie Kauffman, of Virgil City, Cedar Co.,
Mo., writes; “ I had suffered from displacement
of internal organs and female weakness for one
year. Had a bearing down sensation and very
disagreeable feeling after my second child was
born, I could be on my feet only a few minutes
until he was six weeks old, theu I commenced
taking Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
and ' Favorite Prescription.’ I took seven bot
tles in all. After taking the first bottle I felt
much better. I think I ana entirely cured of all
my troubles. I can do all my work and am on my
feet all day. lam in much better health now
than I have been in four years; am fleshy and

A Philadelphia woman sought
to kill herself yesterday by satu
rating her clothing with kerosene
oil and settting them on tire. It
is the only case within our knowl
edge of where a person tried to
commit suicide by burning.
There is no hope of her recovery.
'Gov. Roosevelt in his first

The senate is now’ “laboring’’
with the Paris peace treaty, and

and kindred ones will be the oc

The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincey railroad has a train
which makes the run from Omaha
to Chicago in 10 hours and 29
minutes, a distance of 502 miles.
That is pretty fair running, but a
long shot short of Hying.
Governor Tanner is now mak‘
ing himself again conspicuously
offensive by trying to have his
man Sherman, elected to the
United States senate. His late
performances are nauseating to
all honest people. Can't the state
of Illinois call him down?
The St. Louis Republic says
that the state of Missouri is “rich
and lightly taxed.” Georgia is
just like Missouri, except that—
she is poor and heavily taxed.
Slight difference perhaps in the
estimation of some. “Rich and
lightly taxed”—the sentence de
serves to be written in letters of
gold and hung in a silver frame!
Great Britain is persistently
insistent that Spain shall sell her
a coaling station in the Balearic
island and other strategic points,
so as to render Gibralter safe.
Spain, it is predicted, through
the influence of France and Rus

that event “Uncle John” might
try to “pick a fuss” with Spain.
“Uncle John” is big rich, and
very self-willed.

Mr. Henry Seigel, of New
York, has decided to pension
faithful clerks who serve ten years
or longer in his employ, and has
insured his life to that end, set

right direction, and furnishes the
highest motive to faithful, loving
service.

Mr. W. J. Bryan in his speech
at Sprinfield, 111., yesterday, says
“forcible annexation is criminal
aggression.” He furthermore said:
“I will give independence to the
people of Cuba, not because we
promised it to them, but because
they fought for it and have a
right to it whether we promised
it or not. Why cannot we apply
the same principle to the Philip
pines? Why should we purchase
a title to the Philippines from
Spain? We declared that Spain
did not have any title to Cuba.
When I buy the Filipinos I want
to deal directly with them, and I
want to pay more than $2.50
apiece for them.”

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.
If democracy can bring the
relief which all admit is so neces
sary to business prosperity, its
friends ought to stand united.
To divide on men and minor
issues and by so doing so, weaken
its forces as to make success im
possible, from one point of view,
to say the least of it, is culpable.
True patriotism is characterized
by the absence of anything like
selfishness, and its voice and
hands are raised and lifted in
efforts to promote the general
welfare.
However desirable and well
adapted to the needs of the coun
try the creed of democracy may
be, if her votaries cannot and
will not rise above private, per
sonal ambitions, the fact will
never be demonstrated, and the
conclusion will be reached by
many that her creed is as narrow
and as much to be despised as
as the men who swear allegance
to it, and by their lives not only
ignore, but belie its every teach
ing.
A man who cannot see beyond
his own private and personal
interests, is not a fit expo-'
nent of democracy, and so far
from being entrusted with lead
ership ought to be relegated to the
rear, as a fit associate only for
half-breeds, camp-followers and
stragglers.
It cannot be that the spirit
of knighthood, true courage and
genuine patriotism is dead ! We
dare not conclude and teach the
rising generation that we have
no great, good men who will
serve their Country, if need be,
at the sacrifice of time, pleasure
and money, as well as the risk
of life. To thus be forced to
teach would indicate a poverty
far worse than physical hunger
denotes. It would set up mental
and moral hunger —the first prey
ing upon and destroying the body
—the other invading the higher
realm of affection and thought
and lowering to the level of the
brute the being created a “little
lower than the angels.”
Then the duty of the hour
is to forget self and not be domi
nated by selfish acts and con
trolled by selfish motives. Let
democrats not go to pieces and
split into factions on any ques
tion which compared with the
main question intelligently under
stood, must occupy the place of
a minor question.
If some democrats are for ex
pansion, let them expand and
swell until BL:e FEsop’s fr«g they
attain the same result. And if
there are theee who are opposed
to it for fear of the result afore
said, let them be afraid, but all
agree to unite at the proper time
upon the platform of principles
which our wisest, most unselfish
and patriotic men may construct
in harmony with the cardinal
principles of the party to which
we all claim allegiance.
“United we stand, divided we
fall” is as old as the world and
as true as truth !
The writer of this article never
cast a vote out of harmony with
what he honestly believed to be
the teachings of true democracy.
Under her flag we have walked
loyally thus far, and under that
flag we will continue a loyal pace
until the exit is made into the
great beyond !

Atlanta’s largest merchants, is

Senator Quay has been nomi
nated by the republicans of I’enn
iylvania to succeed himself in the
United States Senate, overthrow

Quay’s politics and schemings

itician too well for him to be
laid on the shelf yet.
