Senator Jones, of Florida, some
time ago fell desperately in love with
q rich Detroit widow, and is being
laughed at for the sillinessof his love
affair. There can be no objection to
Mr.. Jones' making a fool of himself
if he vii first resign his seat in the
Senate. That body has been in $685.
sion since in December and Mr..
Jones has not up to this time been in
his place. The United States Gov
eminent is paying him salary as
Senator which he draws with accus-
toned regularity and therefore his
neglect of duty alone deserves sim
cere condemnation; add to that the
frivolous conduct of the Senator, and
it makes a case that also deserves
much contempt. Jones should re-
sign or proceed to Washington to
attend to his duties.

America Ahead. p Culiaf
characteristics Of Amerl.
cans The Evils and How
Restored
In this age Of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works Of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untaned state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast, under these Influences
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail
fcations; yet there is danger that in the
course Of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination Of the physical
character of the people. and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been so successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. S. Cloudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
STA for several years that he was induced
to try PRRuNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles of the Tnedi-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy. and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says it
10 wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus & Co., Springfield. O..
writes =" We are having good sale for
PERUNA. It sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisfac-
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Needham, Newtonville,
Clermont County, Ohio, says: (" have
been great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life. was very much reduced.
Ihave taken four bottles of PERUNA, which
has restored me to perfect health and
strength. We think PzRUNA safe and
grand medicine"
PE-RU-NA is sold by all druggists. Price 8
per bottle, six bottles for IS. If you canno
get it from your druggist, we will send it OF
receipt of regular price. We prefer you bu
it from your druggist, but if he hasn't It do no

Stop the Cant.

It is singular that men who ought
to know better will persist in ped
ding the cheap cant known as Eaton
ian Civil Service Reform. 1t is apity
that some men In position to lend
influence to their utterances pretend
to approve of it, notwithstanding the
fact that observation must have long
ago convinced them not only of its
uselessness, but of its infinite folly.
To a man of ordinary intelligence the
hollowness Of it must be apparent.
A long period of power made the
Republican party corrupt. Not only
were the highest officials engaged in
operations to rob the government,
but the system was diffused through
out the departments from top to bot
tom. The Dorseys and Bradys and
Belknaps had planted corruption and
chicanery in every branch of the pub
lie service. Without the collision of
subordinates The vast system of pub
lie robbery could not have been
effected, and Civil Service reform
to do good must of necessity clean
out the corrupt nests in which the
public thieves have been incubated.
The Eatonian system aims not to
purify the service but to shield cor
rupt subordinates from the logical
consequences of their bad records
Democrats in power should set their
faces against this. They should ap-
point honest and competent Demo
Gratis to place. Independent Repub-
licans cannot be bribed by keeping
Republicans in place. Those who
want honest government will not
complain because the agents Of adj
ministering it are Democrats. What
they want is honest government,
economically administered, and those
who had independence enough to
vote for Mr.. Cleveland have intelli-
gence enough to know that it can
only be attained by a complete change
in the agency.
