A Clear COMPLEXION.

How can you expect clear complexion
when the blood is full of impurities and
the stomach clogged? The blood be-
comes impure because the liver does not
act properly and work of the poison from
the system. and the certain results are
blotches, pimples and eruptions. Purify
the blood with Simmons liver regulator.
and regulate the liver. stomach and
bowels, and then the skin will become
clear.

An item is going the rounds of
the press Of this State to the effect
that the Union Pacific is having
surveys made to push its line
through to the Pacific by way of
the Deer creek pass. Many hopes
are being raised by this rumor, and
people along the line Of the survey
are wild with excitement. What
the purpose was Of the people who
set this rumor abroad is hard to
guess, but the San Francisco Post
is in a position to state that the
Union Pacific does not contem-
plate extending its line in this d.
rection. The company is in debt
is not making much money, and
could not raise the funds to build
such road.

OUTWITTED, OF COURSE

The correspondence between the
United States Government and that
of China, during the past three
years, upon treaty matters, shows
that our diplomatists and statesmen
were thoroughly outwitted by those
of China. But what else should
have been expected? We take a
man from his law office and label
him Statesman for four years, and
another man from behind his
counter and label him ''Diplomatist
till otherwise ordered" and send
them out to deal with men trained
to diplomacy and to all the resources
of statesmanshipfrom their boyhood
and with the history Of diplomacy
and state craft at their fingers ends.
But really, half the time, we do not
even select a man for ourselves. We
have him selected for US. Some
rig or interest has an end to serve
in certain direction, and a tool or
agent of that ring or interest is APP
pointed to a diplomatic Office or to
a department in the Federal Gov
eminent to represent that ring or
interest and see that it's schemes do
not go awry. John Russell Young,
for example; was ChiDas represen-
tative rather than ours in Picking,
Just as he is now, on the New York
Herald.
So the United tatesiis.not only
at the disadvantage of inexperienced
and frequently changed officials, but
is at the greater disadvantage of be-
ing represented by persons swayed
solely by self interest, often to the
extent of actual treachery.-Stock

soMErHING WRONG.

Whatever the telegraph may
have left untold about the events Of
the past few days in the matter of
Powderly, Gould and the knights
Of Labor, one fact is quite clear. It
is certain that the knights are not
as well organized as they should be
for such fight as they have on
hand. When Powderly gave his
order to resume work there was hes
itatlon in obeying it. Now, either
Powderly does know what the pre-
negatives of his Office are, or his
subordinates are insubordinate. In
any case the exhibition is. very I'M
satisfactory to the friends of the
organized labor. The Knights
should lose no time IN deciding who
is their general in this war, and
having decided, should follow him
without hesitation. Universal suff-
rage and personal independence
are all very well up to a certain
point. But if an army had to stop
and take Il vote on every order its
General gave it the enemy will win
an easy victory. Organization
means discipline or it means moth
ing. Stock Report
The order has simply increased
with such rapidity that it has be
come like team of horses appar-
emily beyond the control Of the
dryer During the past few days
Powderly has acted with tact and
good sense and is fast getting the
team down to a steady gait.
In few months when the men,
bers of the order better understand
the Executive head they will be
come well disciplined organization
capable of the great work of eman-
cipating labor from the thraldom
which now Expresses it, and that !
emancipation means prosperity to
America.

A NEW KIND OF PRIMARY ELEC-
TION.-The candidates nominated for
office in Norfolk this week by the DEM
ocrats were all nominated by majority
votes. How was this result secured
Easily. The election was begun on
Tuesday. Tuesday night the ballots
were counted, and every candidate who
had received majority Of all the votes
cast for the Office for which he was
running was declared elected as one Of
the nominees. Where there we're only
two candidates running for an office,
one of course necessarily received a
majority of the votes. So also in
several cases where there were
three or more candidates running
for one office, one received vote larger
than the combined vote Of his competi-
tors. All such candidates were de-
clared nominated on Tuesday night.
But where, as was the case in the
election for City Attorney, Common
wealth's Attorney, and one or two
other officers. no one Of the three can
didates received q vote exceeding the
combined vote Of his competitors, the
lowest candidate was dropped, and the
election was continued on Wednesday.
Wednesday night one or the other can
didate for each Office had a majority,
and the election was ended. This new
kind of primary election is worth think
ing about.
