Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of impair
ment Of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings OF evil, a desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, PERUNA and
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never we'll to wait So long before
treatment is commenced. The carly
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
OF the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion
or in others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying com.
paratively good health. In all these Pc
RUNA and MANALIN should at once be
taken.

WAR AND WHEAT

Kansas City Journal: . The price of
wheat has fallen so low since the last
harvest that farmers feel discouraged,
and the complaint is universal that there
is no prospect of profit in the crop at
present prices.
The outbreak of foreign war would
put new aspect upon the situation.
There is the possibility of conflict be-
tween England and Russia. Such q
conflict would cause great demand for
our cereals and would as well stimulate
business in the United States generally.
1t is not well, however, to give such
prominence to the prospects of such 9
war as TO cause our farmers to reckon
the future prospects of our country on q
war rather than a peace basis. The
great total of wheat and flour imported
in all countries during 1884 is estimated
at 375,O00,O0O bushels. The United
States had nearly O,OOO, 900 bushels for
export In 1880 we exported 100000
600 bushels, In 1881 more than 1856 .OOO,-
600 bushels and in 1884 the yield was SO
immense that we have u great quantity
yet in store.
Should the Old World be shaken by q
mighty conflict OF arms there might be
demand for all the wheat v would be
able to export. but our farmers ought to
so regulate their acreage of crops that
there will be an equalization of supply
and demand, and thus have no reason to
complain of over production of any
great cereal.
The average wheat crop of the United
States has nearly doubled IN ten years,
and the farmers who SOW for war and
find peace when the crop is ready for
market will probably find this country
too much of a wheat country.

THE ENGLISH PHASE

II was q noticeable fact during the
presidential campaign that all the prom
inent journals In Great Britain favored
the election of Mr.. Cleveland. In fact,
they took q great deal Of interest in the
campaign and played hard" in order %
win the game for the Democrats. Tha
New York Tribune says:
Naturally, having British admins

British customs. some good, and some
bad, but all discussed with favor. be-
cause they are British. Thus, Just now
there Is discussion of the expectancy OF
having cabinet officers invited to explain
In the house, or in The senate, proposed
legislation, and TO state reasons on be-
half OF the administration tor or against
It. 1t Is to be admitted that
there Is more reason lust now
than usual for the adoption Of this
change, which has been discussed q
great many times, before. but never yet
with favor. just now the party in pow
or has contrived to weaken itself pecu-
llarlY by the withdrawal of some of its
ablest debaters from the senate. More
over, the policy which IL Is likely to pur.

Nevertheless, 1t Is a little doubtful
whether the advocates of silver coinage
in the house will care to hear q speech
from Mr.. Bavard on the subject, or the
advocates of protection In the senate.
1t Is little doubtful whether the Re-
publicans who have seen the recommen-
dAtions OF Republican administrations
treated with contempt tor years by
Democrats IN congress will care to give
greater advantages to q Democratic ad
minlstration. Nor Is there much reason
on the whole to believe that. in the pres

speeches from members OF the cabinet
would greatly facilitate business. With

WelltngtOnian: We have heard some
very warlike talk among friends of the
boomer movement In this city since
President Cleveland warned them not 70
enter the Territory. which sounds per.
fectly ridiculous to man of an unex.
citable nature. ALI this blow about this
being free government, and that they
are not gong to be dictated to, is Just SO
much tom-foolery. 1t is free country
just so long as man obeys the laws OF
the nation, but when he violates them,
then 1t is no longer free
country to him. "Uncle SAM" IS the
old saying is, sis rich enough to give us
all farm" but the venerable old gen.
tleman certainly has q right to locate
the farm himself. If he chooses to re-
serve few acres for his red sons, his
white ones should be the last ones to
kick. The WellingtOnian would like 10
see the Oklahoma country opened up to
settlement but aside from probably
Fastening the day of opening it, all
this blow and hustle will amount 70
nothing. Uncle Sam is stub.
born old gentleman and terribly ''sot" in
his ways. He few years ago found il
necessary to fog few of his waywsrd
sons, and can do it again if necessary.
Would it not be we'll for our Oklahoma
friends to remember this when they are
talking SO loudly about going into the
coveted land by force. Discretion has
elways been found to be the better part
of valor, and it might be well to use a
little more discretion In their expressions
upon this subject.
