Reasons why they Only
should be Used!

THEIR REPUTATION Is ESTABLISHED.
Thousands of Testimonials have been received,
showing that these POWDERS have performed
miracles in curing cases of long standing, many OF
hem considered hopeless.
THERE is NO RISK IN TAKING THEM.
They contain nothing injurious, and, therefore.
cause none OF the lingering diseases so often the
result of the many nostrums of the day. Physicians
recommended them as superior to Quinine or any
other known remedy, for they leave the system in
healthy ate, and the patient beyond the probable
ity of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFETTS.

late the Bourbons of the Empire

money, free trade and home rule"
In this connection the following
characteristic letter is embodied as a
text for the Worlds editorial COM
ments:
"OMAHA, Neb., Sept. II, VA.
"ldnton Marble, Esq;
"DEAR SIR: You will be glad to
observe the growing sentiment
throughout the country in favor of

mocracy have spoken in their plat
form In the concise language of IL
linois and New York, hoping there
by to aid in making it the creed of

troll of the Legislature.

Now the BEE ventures to assure
the New York Bourbons that Mr..
Aliens sanguine prophecies are the
outcroppings of a very imaginative
brain. In the first place a large
portion of the Nebraska Democracy
have no faith in the platitudes ofthe
Democratic platform. In the second
place there is not the very remotest
probability that any candidate on
the Democratic State ticket will
come within five thousand votes o.
being elected. Lastly, we appre'
bend that Mr.. Aliens prediction
about our next legislature Is based
upon the assumption that a major
ity of the Republican voters would
either stay at home or vote the
Bourbon ticket. Now we say to the

A VERY bitter political contest is
now in progress in that portion OF

down between General Garfield, the

Rev. r. II. Hurlburt, the 1ndepen-

LIvIL SERVICE REFORM AT THE
SOUTH,

President Grant has, according to
reliable advices, publicly declared
his determination to inaugurate
some wholesome reforms in the
civil service at the South. 1t is his
intention that henceforth there shall
be no just complaint on the cor of
federal ofice-holders in that region.
"Whenever he found that an in
competent or otherwise unfit man
was holding a marshalship, a post
Office or any other federal office,
coming in contact with the people,
he should promptly remove him,
and appoint the best man resident
in the community, in his place. He
was fully satisfied that some bad
appointments had been made, which
had tended to stir up strife; but he
hoped to remove them just as SOON
as any charges were preferred and
sustained.n
He intimates very emphatically
that a programme is now under adj
visement having for its object the
appointment of a better class OF
federal appointees throughout the
Southern States. Whatever may
be the complaint of the Southern
people about their State officials, tie
President declares that there shall
be none against those under the
government. 1t is to be hoped that
this programme will be promptly
pu. into execution.
Iii s an indisputable fact that the
social and political disorders that
prevail in the South have in great
measure been aggravated by corrupt
and imbicile federal officials, who
very frequently were the direct cause
| of riots and disturbances.

Forgiveness.

The question has often been ask
ed us: "Does the Savior require
us to forgive wrongs, done to us,
without our being asked to forgive,
OF without our enemy's show
ing any sign of repentance We
give our opinion. He does not
We are commanded to forgive as
we have been forgiven, and pray
''forgive us our debts as we for
give those who are indebted to us.
God never forgives US our sins un-
til we are penetent-until we ask
forgiveness, and we are not COM
manded to extend forgiveness, I'M
til forgiveness is asked for.
There are two senses in which the
word forgive" is used; one is for
bear revenge-in that sense, we
are to forgive, whether the Offend
er asks forgiveness or not; we are
to cherish kind feelings toward
him, pray for him, seek to bring
him to repentance, etc. The other
sense of the word implies to re-
store the offender to our confidence
and friendship. This we cannot
do unless he confesses his fault and
seeks forgiveness.
A Christian must bear malice
but not mediate revenge. When
we pray to the Heavenly Father,
it must be without wrath in our
hearts. The Christian must stand
ready to forgive an injury when
forgiveness is sought, he must for
bear taking revenge, but pray for
the offender. But he is not bound
TO restore an offender to his con-
fidence and esteem, until the Of
tense is repented of, and forgive
ness is implored.

To cure dull times-apply an adj
vertisement to the afflicted parts.
A sign-board can't tell anything.
1t takes an advertisement to do
that.
All who advertise do not get rich,
but precious few get rich without it,
The world is full of advertising,
yet everyone wants to see what is
new.
The worlds memory is short. II
will forget if you do not jog il
frequently.
Early to bed and early to rise
will all be in vain if you don't adj
