luxuriant Hair

Can only he preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in a healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes tho
growth Of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of RoXbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use OF Ayers Hair Vigor. at

BDULANGEk.

The man toward whom the attention Of
more men is now directed than has been
toward any one during the last two
decades is the Frenchman, General
Boulanger, who contested the Seine
district (Paris) on Sunday last for a
seat III the Chamber Of Deputies and
who received one half more votes than
his chief opponent and was elected by
more than eighty.one thousand MAORI.
ty. There were really two issues rep
resented in Boulanger's candidacy,
neither Of which were avowed Us such,
but both Of them are .raught with dan
ger for France.
First, he stands as the incarnation Of
the revenge idea; the exponent of
those who would by war with Ger
many, wipe out the disgrace Of Sedan
in 1870 and win back Asace and
Lorraine, lost 10 the Germans at that
time.
Again, he stands committed to con-
troll If he can, governmental action IN
the PaLama canal matter and have the
scheme backed and aided directly by the
French government. In this we are
interested, for when that act is coLsum
mated, this government will be called
yGpon to consider the Monroe Doctrine
on more serious grounds and for more
momentous reasons than ever before.
The success Of Boulanger means
complication.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: "For years, 1 was compelled
to wear dress cap to conceal a bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair

A similar result attended the use of
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. 0. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
II. Bedloe, OF Burlington, VT, Mrs. j. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me, and numerous
others.
The loss Of hair may be owing to i'm
purity of the blood or arrangement OF
the stomach and liver, in which case,
course Of Ayers Sarsaparilla or of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
Nigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions of the
body. At the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none Of these
remedies can do much good without
persevcring trial and strict attention
to clearly and temperate habits.

more pleasure to members of both
Houses Of Congress than the selection
OF anyone else conld. John Sherman
has enemies by the scores, John Wanna.
maker is looked upon as pious fraud,
and the man has not been found who
can count Mr.. Blaines warm enemies.
1t is eel tain that if both the hairs Of
his head and the enemies of his policy
are counted the latter sum is by far
the greater.
Still the impression that Mr.. Blaine
will be Secretary of State grows every
hour and he is beseiged at his hotel by
the mob of place hunters. That tlresome
newspaper lay figure known as 'one very
near the President elect has even an
nounced that Mr.. Blaine has already
been offered the position and accepted
it. This is coupled with the announce
ment that Mr.. Wanamaker will be
Postmaster; General. though there is a
dim impression chat the eminent Pnila
delphian would have gone to Europe
two weeks ago if he had felt sure of his
chances. Mr.. Wanamaker had been
originally cast for the part of Secretary
of the Navy, with vague idea that it
would be an appropriate position for a
Philadelphia man. His selection would
be regarded by Congressman as one Of
doubtful wisdom. Business men are
not deemed of great weight in politics.
The wealthy old merchant who goes in
for that sort Of thing is simply regard
ed by political heeIers as delightful
mint, to be run day and night. Mr..
Wanamaker has had his own expert
ence in that direction. Very little is
known outside his own city of his actu-
al personality. There is a long dis
lance between his self.ayowed tender
conscience that will not even permit
him to advertise in a Sunday paper,
and the story broadly limited az in the
Senate by Mr.. Morgan to the effect
that John has hundreds of women, in
his employ who drudge year in and
year out for thirty five cents day
If both avowas are co rect one mil ht
be excused from inviting Johns care
full consideration of that striking B!bli-
cal allusion to strainlng at gnat and
swallowing a camel.
Tomorrow Secretary Whitney will
send to the Chairman Of the House Ma.

Of the Samoan difficulty. In as much
us the question is one purely Of diplo-
macy and the Navy is in no condition

power, it is somewhat difficult TO un
derstand what value Is to be attached
to the views of Secretary Whitney on
this problem. If Secretary Ravard

FOR


AND FOR THE DEMOCRACY.
Tile Sun believes that the campaign for
the election Of Democratic Congress in 1890
and Democratic President in 1892 should
begin on or about the fourth of next March
The Sun will be on hand at the beginning
and until the end of the most interesting and
important political conflict since the war,
dong its honest utmost, as ever, to secure
the triumph Of the Democratic party and the
permanent supremacy of the principles held
by Jefferson, Jackson, Tilden.
The great fact of the year is the return to
absolute power Of the common enemy OF all
good Democrats-the political organization
for whose overthrow The San fought al the
front for fifteen years, the memorable years
of Grant and the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield
and Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that Democrats
now confront and he will be intrenched in
the same strong position. 1t has been car
ried once hv brave and hopeful fighting
Do YOU believe that with The Sun that thing
can be done again? Wait and see.
The hope of the Democracy is in the loyal
efforts of Il united press, cherishing no mem
cries of past differences in non essentials, for
getting everything but the lessons of expert
ence and that victory is duty.
Probably you know The San already as a
newspaper which gets all the news and
prints it in incomparably Interesting shape !;
which chronicles facts as they occur and tells
the truth about men and events with abso-
lutte tearlcssncss, making the compctest and
most entertaining journal published any

rround that the origin of hernia the death was
