Attention, DOctOrE,

Everybody knows that the life Of the
average physician is 2 hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain Cor a merely nom
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use Of PERUNA.
If he will only ada this great remedy to
his list ofmedic:ncs he will find that his
usefulness viii be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use viii be found in the
"Ills Of LIZ" AID he s,.ould at once pro.
cure this valuable book.
N. ]. Wright, business Agent Evening
Herald, Erie, Pa, says: CDR. HART
MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to you NY thanks for the great
benefit l received from the use of your
medicines, PERUNA ard MANALIN.
One bottle of each placed me square on
my feet, after Il Sickness of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement of the use of
your remedies the cane was dispensed
with, and in a week l was perfectly WELL"
Mrs. Ellen Maynard, Oswego, Potter
county, Pa, writes: "DR. HARTMAN.
Columbus, O. The small ulcers are all
healed, and the two l@r.-c ones are net
more than hall IS large as they were. l
I'm feeling quite well. The people say
your PERUNA and MANALIN are doing a
miracle. LIDO not take nearly so Inuch
opium as Idij before"
Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,
writes : ~ have used your PERUNA and
MAxAL1N with good results. In the year
Of 1880 I was 50 bad that / could scarcely
walk. I used PERUNA and MANALIN,
and am now az healthy as / have ever
been. I have also recommended it to
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it."
Mr.. c. II. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio,
writes: "Our little girl was paralyzed
It thirteen months old, and we resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared to get but little better.
Hearing of PERUNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her a great
deal of good-the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per-
IONS and found it a success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else a at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PBRUNA. Our little girl is now eight
years old, and can run any place, we for
four years helpless. PERUNA cured her"

What Democrats Want !!

The Representatives of the PEG
pie Of Louisiana in the Senate and
House OF Representatives in Con
gress should not forget THAT the
masses of the Democracy take much
more interest in the passage of the
education bill, by which means
will be obtained to give their chill
dren IA good practical education , in
the Improvement Of the Mississippi
River and the prevention of annual
o%vertiowS, by which they are made
to suffer heavy losses in tie :egnla
tons Of the Tariff, by which rea
sonabIc protection will be given the
sugar and rice growers by the pre-
vention Of any more reciprocity
treaties, like those that have lately
been sneaked through the Senate ;
by d wise system of sanitary meas
ures, that will ward Of epidemic
diseases; by legislation that will
promote the general welfare ; than
they are in the appointment OF a
few Office holders.
Put good Democrats in all the
offices and il the disappointed CUES
growl and grnmble, they will re
ceive little sympathy with the
laboring masses of the Democracy,
who earn their support by the sweat
of their brow.
They expect tangible practicable
work from their Representatives in
Congress.

The following, from the Feliciana

Sentinel, has the true ring in it.
We want and will have no faction
in the Democratic party. We want
and will have the united support
of all honest and true democrats
in the political struggle with Repub
lican party. We have possession
of the National government, and,
by united and undivided action,
will, and can hold the same for the
benefit of all the people. So with
our State Government. We will
not let her pass into Republican
hands by any division in our ranks.
The Democratic party is a party of
principle and il follows the lead of
no man who does not stand up to the
old landmarks Of the party-eQual
justice to all, exclusive privileges to
none. These are ourprinciples, and
old West Feliciana will stand by
them.

THE IRON-WORKERS REASONING.

If the dispatch from Pittsburg, published on
Monday, gives the true reason for the decision
of the IRON workers at their meeting Saturday
night. the cause of continual trouble between
EMPLOYERS and employees in that district needs
little further explanation. The men, 1t says
determined to insist upon last years wages
because they were told that the new steel
making process, which threatens to revolution
ize the system of manufacture in iron mills, had
MT vet proved a success so far as to Affect the
settlement with employers this year. That is
to saw, the employers must make contract OF
refuse to make one for the coming year, june -
and will not be in position so early as that 10
decide whether they can quite afford pro-
longed strike. Therefore, as there Is chance
to extort the old wages from them for another
year, if the mills can run at all, the men choose
to do so, and they seem not to care whether the
result is to drive business away from the
Pittsburg district permanently or not.
Hardly any one would fail to say at once that
such a method of treating the question must
prove most dangerous to the interests OF the
IRON workers. Yet this does not seem to have
any weight with them. When the iron mills CT
the Pittsburg region are compelled to close, or
to change their machinery 80 as to do different
work. the men can move to other places, thcy
assume but while they stay be it for week,
a month or year, they insist upon the old rate
of wages New processes are well-niGh per-
fected, in consequence of which, it is supposed,
the manufacture of iron in the old forms may
soon be quite abandoned wherever it is nearly
or quite as costly as the manufacture of steel.
Perhaps the iron works of the Pittsburg district
may find the difference in wages sufficient
reason for making the change within the next
year; the dispatch implies that the workers
expect this. But if their demand is going To
stop the old modes of manufacture in the
Pittsburg district speedily, still they insist upon
that demand. The marvel is that practical
workers are not the first to see that such
policy is most unwise for their own interests.

The celebrated and important Virginia tax
coupon cases have finally been decided IN the
United States Supreme Court, and the declsi'h
is in favor of bondholders and the taxpayers.
Il is held that all the legislation OF Virg gina
which forbids the payment Of taxes In these
coupons is unconstitutional because it violates
the obligation of the contract which the Com
monwealth entered into when the bonds were
refunded. This sustains recent decision OF
the United States Circuit Court in Virginia and
upsets the statute passed by the Readjusters
declaring that the coupons could not be received
a. taxes. That law rested on decision of a Ten
nessee court declaring that State might take
away one remedy for contract if it provided
another. Aside from the effect which 1t VIII
have on the feelings of the owners OF pZ3'ooo,-
900 of consol bonds issued by Virginia in 1911
this result will exercise wholesome influence
politically and financially all over the South
where the flower of reputation has long been
ready to burst into full bloom on the slightest
encouragement.
