Exhaustion.

InvaIids, broken down in health and spir-
its by Chronic Dyspepsia, or suffering from
the terrible exhaustion which follows the
attacks Of acute disease, the testimony of
thousands who have been raised as by a
miracle from similar state Of prostration
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is a sure
guarantee that by the same means you too
may be strengthened and restored. But to
those who stand in peril of epidemics, to all
who by reason Of exposure, privatlons, and
uncongenial climate or unhealthy pursuits,
may at any moment be stricken down, this
paragraph Is most particularly and eniphdti-
Gully addressed. You, who are thus situated,
are proffered an absolute safeguard against
the danger that menaces you, Tone and
regulate the system with this harmless me-
dicinal stlmulant and Alternative, and you
will be forearmed against the Inaladies
whose seeds float around you in the air I'M
seen. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are not
only standard tonic and Alternative
throughout the United States, but they are
accredited by the certificates of the most
distinguished citizens Of the Union, to the
people of all other lands. In Canada, Aus
tralia, and the West Indies, they are grad
ually taking the place of all other stom.
achics, whether native or foreign, and as
surely as truth is progressive and demon
stration overthrows doubt, they Will even
tually supersede every other invgorant and
restorative now employed in medicinal
practice.

THE PEACE JUBILEE.

The Great German Peace Jubilee
was celebrated with uniformly CRAFTY
ing success all over the United States.
In every town and city where a puoiic
demonstration of JOY was made, specta'
tors and participants were alike sur
prised by the spontaneous outburst Of
enthusiasm that seemed to pervade all
classes of our people, whether native OF
foreign born. In all the demonstrations
of which we have seen any account
there was no semblance OF insult to
PROSTATE France, no motto that spoke
of vengeance, no unseemly Boosting
over a fallen foe. 1t was emphatlcally
a rsacc jubilee, celebration in which
both victor and vanquished might join'
full of thankfulness that the great
struggle was over at last and that the
blessed and kindly influences OF peace
had once more resumed their sway.
New York, the celebration must
have been magnificent. The Hsrd1d
styles it "the greatest, the grandest, the
most imposing and the most Impressive
civic pageant ever witnessed In this
city or on this Continent" The main
procession was three hours and three
quarters passing given point and con-
tanned not less than fifty thousand peo-
pie. A regiment of hussars and regi-
ment of infantry, all in full Prusslan
uniform, formed part Of the procession
and numerous emblematic figures OF
Germany and Peace were borne along
the streets. One portly German
bearing a two gallon fagon was
habited to represent King GAMBRINrs,
and another who rode gaily ca
parisoned war horse bore a strik-
ing resemblance to King WILLIAM
and sustained his part with a dignity
almost royal. The whole city was
gaily decorated with flags and the
Herald estimates that one million peo'
pie witnessed or participatedin the cele-
bration.
The more prominent and commenda-
BILE features of the German character
never appeared to better advantage than
in the motives that prompted and the
energy and good taste that character
lied this public display. Our citizens
of all nationalties will remember 1t
with the greater pleasure from the fact
that the love Of our German fellow-citl-
zens for the land of their adoption Is no
less than that they have so beautifully
manifested for the land of their nntlv-
ity.

A VERY lively political campaign is
in progress just now in the District OF
Columbia. By act of Congress, the
District is given territorial govern
ment and is TO have a Legislature and
be represented in Congress. Full tick
cts have been nominated by each party
and the contest is growing exceedingly
warm. Hon. r. T. MERRIck is the
Democratic candidate for Congress anc
Hon. n. P. CH1pMAN has been nomi
mated by the Radicals. 1t would p'
gratifying indeed, and very significant
rebuke to the corruption OF the present
Federal administration, if Washington
city should send Democratic delegate
to Congress and elect a Democratic Leg
islature. We infer, from the zeal with
which the contest is being carried on,
that such results by no means I'M
probable. .'r. 49,.
There is one fact in connection with
this campaign in the District that
should be carefully noted throughout
the country. The whole army OF
clerks in the various Departments are
being registered as voters in the DIS,

A MIDDLE-AGED woman Of good ap
pearance and pleasing address, and g
half a dozen aliases was arrested in
Cincinnati on Saturday on the charge
of having obtained as many as eight
sewing machines from agents in that
city under false pretenses. Her plan
has been to purchase a machine on the
installment system, have it sent to a
place from which she removed it as
soon as it arrived, lost her''identity as
the purchaser of said machine, and
came the same game over some other
confdng agent. She has been follow
ing this business for some six or seven
months, it is said, and recently extend
ed her field of operations to Louisville

track for some time, and finally sue

from Falls City. She was held for ex

THE German papers, as they have a
right to do, are facilitating themselves
upon the wonderful results of the late
war with France. In their magnitude
and importance they surpass any re-
corded in modern history. Even those
of Jena, in 1906, and of Leipsic, in 1913,
are inferior in comparison. The war
lasted one hundred and eighty days, or
just six calendar months. During this
time the German troops fought IL grand
battles and 156 battles Of less import
ance, captured 26 fortified places, 600
pieces of artillery, 100 eagles or flags,
1860 officers and 100000 men. The
killed and wounded on the part of the
French was probably half as many
more. The number of prisoners is ex-
traordinary. 1t is far more than the
Russians took in the disastrous French
campaign of 1912 in Russia.

success

1T seems to be part Of the scheme
for the establishment of military des-
potism, that the South shall lie so har-
raised and outraged 10y the reign OF
thieves that the people will gladly turn
tomilitary domination for protection and
rest. 1t is so now in South Carolina
the people will welcome any form Of
government that promises them protec
ton from robbery aud insult. The
taxes there are rapidly confscating all
property, and poverty and restitution
are the common fate Of all. The same
process is going on in Arkansas, in
Florida, and in several others of the
Southern States. The people are being
taught to look to military despotlsn
for relief.

We are sorry to learn that GRANT $
prospects for denomination at the hands
of the Radical party are growing
small by degrees and beautifully less
every day. A few days ago MORTON
was put up in answer to a previously
arranged serenade, to feel the Washing
ton bulse. GRANT was present and
swallowed all OF MoRToNs fulsome
eulogy with far more complacency and
satisfaction than did the crowd Of peo-
pie who had assembled, and when it was
proposed that His Excellency should
be nominated for a second term, even
the office-holders forbore to shout
and the hired claquerS failed to
enthuse." We are sorry. Themani-
fold iniquities of the GRANT admins
tration promised the Democracy an
easy victory in the coming Presidential
contest, and it will be hard for the
Radicals to find a candidate who will be
quite so vulnerable as ULYSSES. There
is this consolation, however, if the
Radicals nominate anybody elsethey
will have all the influence and patron
age of the Federal government to con-
tend against. The noble army of
brothers-in-law, and the innumerable
company of cousins will bitterly resent
the taking off of the family head, and
there is little probability that the Pres
ident himself will be tamely led to
slaughter. ,
