Miss Nellie Kent.

Wellington, Lorain county, o., writes:
"Dr. S. B. HARTMAN 81 CO., Columbus,
O., Gentlemen: have been great suff-
rer from chronic catarrh, bronchitis and
neuralgia of the face. I have been taking
your PERUNA for one month. The neu-
ralgia and catarrh is almost well, and the
cough is much better. like your PERU
MA very much"
c. E. Dupler. aged thirty four years, of
Equality, Illinois, had been affected with
chronic catarrh which he first discov-
cred six years ago. In succession he lost
his smell, taste and hearing. The disease
was so malignant that it not only attacked
the softer parts, but destroyed the bony
partition of the nose and seriously affected
the external parts. He could only hear
watch ticking by holding it close to his
ear. He suffered intense pain in the nose,
from which green, dry clots of offensive
odor fell. In this condition he presented
himself to DIR. Hartman several months
ago. He can now hear a watch eight
inches from his right and six inches from
his left ear. His taste and smell are again
returning, and the external part of the
nose is quite well. Few more grateful
patients ever left physicians Office than
Mr.. Dupler. He said, "Why in the
world was PERUNA not prescribed for
me long ago?"
Cramps Of the Stomach.
We have the privilege of reporting the
following case. Those similarly affected
can get the name and address of DIR.
Hartman. The lady does not want her
name IN the papers. For year, or years,
1.-THE writer does not remember the length
of time, this lady had cramps, the most
fearful, of the stomach, every day and
night, Switch would be followed by that
terrible weakness, which was something
wonderful" The suffering and distress
of this lady was understandable and almost
uncomfortable. After all the physicians
and medicines had failed, and all hope
had almost fed. DIR. Hartman was con-
suited, and from the first day of taking
his PERUNA, the cramps and all bad
feeling left her, and now for over amonth
has been entirely free from every symp-
tom. A more thankful patient no doctor
ever had

A Disguised Democratic politician
says this of reform: Here we Dem
ocrats have been bowling for twenty
years about the corrupt and extrava-
giant methods of the party in power,
and the ineficiency and dishonesty
of the men it has kept in Office; and
now the Cabinet officers say they are
surprised to find how efficient are
the men, how systematic are the
methods, and how thorough the dis
cipline in the Government service"

A member of the Ohio Legisla.
ture recently got drunk and made a
generally disgraceful exhibition of
himself. He now declares that if
he is expelled, he will write a book
on his legislative experience and
give the inside history of the last
senatorial election, a history which
he says is very discreditable.

An exchange aptly says: "When
you pay the city publishers cash for
their paper and ask your home editor
to send you his paper on credit, OF
even do not patronize him at all, how
can you expect him to publish a
paper equal to the man who gets all
the patronage? In giving a distant
paper all the money, you are not only
building up an institution that may
never be of any benefit to you, but
you are breaking down one that is a
direct financial benefit to you and
your immediate community. When
you pay your money to a well con-
Quoted home journal, you are not
only helping a home enterprise, but
you are helping your own State,
your own county, and your self"

70 the Point.
The New Orleans States thus con-

The New Orleans States thus con-
cludes:
"The pro rata system of paying
warrants adopted by the State
Treasurer is vicious and unjust
one, as we contended at the time be
first adopted it. There is no equity
in paying warrants dated in Deem
Der of any given year in the same
proportion and at the same time
with those dated in January, or
eleven months previous of the same
year. All warrants should be paid
according to the order of their date.
When sufficient money has accumu-
lated in the Treasury to pay in full
all the warrants issued in a certain
month, announcement of that fact
should be made by the Treasurer,
so that holders of warrants that are
dated that month could present
them for payment and receive their
money. That would Obyiate all
questions of priority or preference
| (barring constitutional warrants),
except as to date of issue, But
Treasurer Burke has adopted the
pro rata plan, and is putting obsta-
cles in the way of its operation by
requiring warrant holders to go into
! Court and a judgment fixing the
order in which they are to be paid.
The Treasurer arbitrarily CONSTITUTES
the Constitution against all ordin.
airy warrant holders, and gives pre-
ference to such of them as he thinks
are entitled to it, aud refuses to
swerve from his position, except by
q judgment of Court. 1t seems to
us that it should be the object of a
State official to maintain the public
credit, and not by lawsuits keep
locked up in the Treasury money
belonging to the people, and thus
depreciate the value of State secu-
rites by surrounding their payment
with uncertainty"

Economy of Education.

Education promotes industry and
lessons idleness. 1t awakens and
multiplies desires, and thus incites
effort to secure the means of their
qualification. The Indian builds bis
rude wigwam and fashions his bow
and arrow, and tomahawk, and with
these his wealth and industry cease.
Ignorance everywhere clothes itself
in rags and lives in novels, but
when mans nature is opened by
education his desires clamor at the
gateway of every nerve and sense
for qualification. Effort is thus in
cited and the forms of industry
multiplied. Wealth is the child of
intelligence. 1t makes labor more
skillful and productive. This state.
ment is based on wide comparisons
of intelligent and ignorant labor,
and is not questioned by any one
familiar with the facts. The hand
Is another hand when guided by
intelligence, educated skill, and the
nations are now appealing to educa.
sion to give success to their indus
trial pursuits. Itimproves the con-
dition of the laborer. Nowhere do
educated people cover their naked.
ness with rags. Intelligence creates
and impels to effort, and this multi.
plies and secures comforts and
easements. 1t adds to the dignity

Publication of Politics.

In purifying our politics, the first
thing for every conscientious voter
to do is to purify himself that is, to
cast away all thoughts, even of the
most indirect self interest, in the
matter. He must resolve that neither
personal hope nor fear shall have
part or lot in the matter, that no de-
sire to please, nor fear to offend,
shall creep in to influence his conclu-
sions. Then he must put aside his
preiudices and strive to study the
subject with calm impartiality. Let
no one imagine that this duty of
voting is to be done only at the bal
lot box. That is the final act, but
the duty itself involves consid-
cradle devotion of thought and
time, with all the intelligence,
judgment and moral power that can
be brought to bear upon it. An hon.
est vote pre-supposes an honest
opinion, and no one can have this
unless he work for it diligently and
faithfully. He must consider not
only what are the requisites for this
high Office but what relations they
bear to each other, which takes the
precedence in Importance, which are
absolutely essential, and how far
others are desirable. Then he must
understand the essential of investi-
eating the character and probing
the qualities of the several candi-
dates, and weighing the relative
fitness of each for the great respon-
sibility with which he may be invest
ed. No one is answerable for more
than he has to bestow, whether it be
of time, intelligence or power, but
each one is responsible for what he
does possess, and must decide fo1
himself in what way to employ it
One thing is certain, that if every
voter will consider this subject calm
ly and deliberately, and will simply
devote whatever energy he can right
ly command to the study of it, aiid
will act according to the result, oul
government will rest on the basis In
tended by its founders and will re
main there as firm as adamant.

The North Carolina Express says ::
The impression is wisely made that
juries are not as scrupulously con-
scientious in regarding the obliga-
tons of their oaths as jurors as they
ought to be. Too often criminals
who ought to be presented or indict-
ed are unnoticed, while many in trial
are acquitted by unjust verdicts.
We hear our Judges say that our
most frequent crime is perjury. Is
not the failure of iuries to do their
full duty the ground, to large ex-
tent, of the excuse given for the
growing crime of the resort to lynch
law to redress our wrongs? The
proper enforcement of law and order
in society awaits, to a great extent,
the greater faithfulness Of juries.
