THE VIRGINIA BoURBONs.

The President Displeased with the Manner I'm
Which the Campaign Is being Conducted.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-It is quietly whis-
pered about the hotel Hobbies and other places
where the judges colonies and majors most ex-
pectorate and narrate their mutual sorrows and
profanity, that the President and the shrewder
men of his Cabinet are terribly worked up be-
cause the fiery Democrats of the Old Dominion
confederacy are going into the pending canvass
in that State confederate butt end foremost.
President Cleveland and portion of his Cabinet
are shrewd enough to see that evoking the old
Confederate war sentiment, parading the late
General Lees old war saddle and charger, and
heading their professions with the old confeder-
ote rag which led Pickett's final charge at Get
tysburg-while these things may rekindle the
smouldering enthusiasm of the Virginia rebels,
they will also react. most powerfully in the
North, and disgust tens of thousands Of war
Democrats in the North who have over and
over again assured the Union men of the loyal
States that their brethren in the South have
been thoroughly reconstructed and had buried
the bitter memories of 1905 out of sight forev-
er. and would never again try to reopen the
President Cleveland especially is said to regret
exceedingly the shape the Democratic canvass
in Virginia has assumed; but he cannot do any
thing to change it, His brethren over in the
Old Dominion intended from the start to make
just such fight as they are now waging. It
was for that very purpose that Fitzhugh Lee
was nominated-that the magic of the name
might stir up an enthusiasm that would carry
the State with q whirl And it will be miracle
if the mounted night-riders-made ND Of ex-con-
federate soldiers-do not sprinkle the hills and
valleys Of that State with innocent blood before
the contest is over. Advices received here from
the scene Of action show that the stormiest pas.
sions of human nature are being aroused, and
the champions of the confederate side assail
their opponents as fiercely and as turbulently as
in the old war times. Judicious Democrats from
all over the Union see that the course their Vir-
ginia brethren arc pursuing is ieopardizing their
cause in every other State, and is rapidly making
an overwhelming defeat in 1883 as inc vitable as
any event in the future can possibly be; but
they are helpless to prevent it. The tragedy is
on the boards, and the play must be played out
to the bitter end. let consequences be what they
may. Truly the President has hard role to
play, and failure seems to be inevitable.

FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains
its sure connections, and rates always al
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo.
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taker
to insure comfort and convenience
Trains run through without change oi
,ars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa
K.'asss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota,
e.c. No other line can offer such advan.
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to the saving Of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur.
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiviug letter from one of the B. & o.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. Il.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to J. T. Lane,
Wheeling, W. Va, to J. A. Webb, Fos.

tlemen will lead to thorough informa,
tion as to all necessary details Of time

Attention, Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life Of the
average physician is hard one. lie is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for merely nom.
inal fee. It's 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 caa effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list ofmedcincs he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found In the
ILLS of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. ]. Wright, Business Agent Evening
Herald, Erie, Pa, says: "DR. HART.
MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to YOU my thanks for the great
benefit received from the use of your
medicines, fERUNA and MANALIN.
One bottle Of each placed me square on
my feet, after 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 week was perfectly we'll"
Mrs. Ellen Maynard, Oswego, Potter
county, Pa, writes: "DR. HARTMAN,
Columbus, o. The small ulcers are all
headed, and the two large ones are not
more than halt as large as they were. I
am feeling quite well. The people say
your PEkUYA and MANALIN are doing a
miracle. do not take nearly SO much
opium as did before"
Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,
writes : "a I have used your PERUNA and
MANALrN with good results. In the year
of 1850 was so bad that I could scarcely
wax. ! used PERuNA and MANALIN,
and am now as healthy as have ever
been. 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 paralyzcd
at thirteen months old, and We resortcd
10 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 great
deal of good-the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
NERVOUSNESS in other cases on other per.
sons and found it success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PERUNA. Oar little girl is now eight
years old, and can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERUNA cured her"

Whenever great general dies he is

all Li' really flrst-class military ali itv,
it must he admitted that Napoleon made
great mistakes, ard suffered great de.
fests. A recent wri er calls attention to
the fact that he lost in the Russian cam
paign 100000 men. This was the short
space of four months. Napoleon entered
Germany in 1918 with 100000 men. He
fought the great battles of Lu'zep, Bsut.
and Dresden without decisive results.
He retreated from 1eipsic with loss OF
$4,000 men. He recrossed the r line
with only $4,000 left Of his 35O, COO
men. At Waerloo he left 10000 sol.
diers and 227 cannon on the field. Yet
notwithstanding these defeats, be will be
f'mous through all time as a military
