Autobiography Democracy VS.
M. r.. Church.

The Ottumwa Democrat is the lead :
ing and most influential Anti-M o.
nopoly paper in this Congressional
District, if not in the State of Iowa.
1t is the only paper in Iowa carry
ing the Anti. Monopoly flag that has
the honesty and the courage to say
boldly and truthfuily that the Anti
Monop party is only "temporary
organization an "ephemeral organ
ization," standing for the Demt :
cratic party" temporarily. Sam b..
Evans, its editor, is the acknowledge
ed Democratic editor champion OF
the State. What position does the
Ottumwa Democrat take upon the
subject2n What does Sam Lyans
say are questions familiar as house.

The Ottumwa Democrat pronounces
Beecher guilty not only Of adultery,
but seduction, and perjury" 1t
boasts that it Is no new hand at the
business of exposing such scoundrels,
and says: We have dared libel
suits and exposed more leeherous
preachers that any other journal in
the country. Yet we have never
been sued for libel and have been
successful in driving more than one
hypocaitical william from the pulpit
which he has desecrated."

Judge S. n. Lindley, of Newton,
writes to one Of the Jasper county
papers a long, earnest and candid
letter comparing and contrasting the
two Congressional candidates in this
district, presenting some very forci-
Bile arguments in favor of Judge
Sampson, and sound reasons why
Mr.. Gates should not be our next
Congressman.

ton, uhich is not, at the present, a po-

hour about finances, achich is not a po-
litical issue."
On another page of the same sheet
we find what the editor terms a
"singing Speech" and which he ad-
vises voters of all parties to readj and
two or three columns of this speech
we find devoted to the financial ques-
tions at issue between the parties.
Both the Political perties in this
State and district conventions have
adopted resolutions upon these inn
postant subjects, and they are the
principal themes discussed by all the
political orators in the State.
Yet the Boss tells US
that the transportation" and "fi-
nances" are not political issues.
The Senator has certainly been inn
bibing of late from farmer Gates
bottle. Such silly twaddle must
have originated In a besotted brain,
or head turned by longing for
Congressional honors. What does
the man mean?
"He wires in and wires out
And leaves the people still in doubt
Whether the snake that made the track
Was going south or coming back.

The list of political murders in
Texas, since the Democrats returned
to power, is given at six hundred.
1t is repalsive theme. 1t reminds
one of the youngster who visited
Texas for the first time, and inquired
of a big drover, with "nevy six T"
strapped to his hip, Johnson, what
do you carry that big pistol for? l
never seed you doing nothing with
it?" "That's so Bill" was the con,
templative reply, "a fellow might

In the Marion County Democrat OF
this week we find this language,
which has singular sound, certain

of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Re-
form party in this county; a party
organized upon the transportation
and finance questions more than any
other; coming as it does from the
party organ which has been bowling
for the past two years upon the trans
portation question especially, ana
whose stock In trade is bluster upon
these very questions. Hear the SEN

Modern Women.

It is a sad commentary upon our bOasted
civilization that the women Of our tinaes
have degenerated in health and physique
until they are literally race of invalids-
pale, nervous, feeble and back-achy, with
only here and there few noble exceptions
in the persons of the robust, buxom ladies'
characteristic of their sex in days gone by.
BY a very large experience, covering a
period of years, and embracing the treat
ment of many thousands of cases of those
ailments peculiar to Women, DIR. Pierce,
of the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y,
has perfected, by the combination of GER
tain vegetable extracts, natural specific,
which he does not extol as a cuTe-all, but
ono which admirably ful6lls singleness
of purpose, being most positive and re-
! liable remedy for those weaknesses and
complaints that afflict the women of the
present day. This natural specific COM
pound is called DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pro-
scrition. The following are among those
diseases in which this wonderful medicine
has worked cures as IL by magic and with
| certainty never before attained by any
medicines; Weak back, nervous and gen
eral debility, falling and other displace-
ments Of internal organs, resulting from
debility and lack Of strength in natural
supports, internal fever, congestion, in
Illumination and liberation and very many
other chronic diseases incident to women,
not proper to mention here, in which, as
well as In the cases that have been emu
merated, the Favorite Prescription effects
cures---the marvel Of the world. Il will
not do harm In any state or condition ol
the system, and by adopting It's use the
invalid lady may avoid that severest Of or
deals--the consulting Of family physician.
Favorite Prescription Is sold by dealers ID
medicines generally.

General Starvation.

1t is not alone in our own country that
there is decline of industrial energy--the
same causes that operated in producing a
stagnation in our manufacturing, mining
and other business departments have been
at work in Europe. AT Krupp's foundry,
and mills, at Essen, Prussia, 700 men have
been recently discharged an extensive
lockout is in progress at Soligues, Ger
many, among the scissors makers 10000
coal miners are on a strike caused by Sec
end reduction of wages at the mines in
Worcestershire, England and the Clyde
ship-builders have reduced wages five and
ten per cent The generality of these
movements should convince laboring men
that the construction that afflicts their
pockets is not local ailment, but general,
and must be tempered by compromise, as
it cannot be secured by constraint
