About two years ago I took your emo
1andine"; since then my health has
been and is now as good asst ever was.
Can eat in moderation now food that
two years ago dared not touch. At the
same time I was afflicted with a disease,
I believe, of the skin; for the last flf-
teen years it has been a plague to me.
1t invariably made its appearance in
February and lasted until April. When
I got warm in bed it would commence
itching. There was no eruption until 1
was compelled to scratch, then little
pinp1e, not as large as a pins head,
would appear, and then my misery
commenced. have laid many cold
winters night without any covering I'M
til could stand the cold 10 longer,
and then would pull the cover over me
and get snatches of sleep. have not
felt it since taking your valuable No
landine, y which was taken for dyspep-
STA, and believe that it has cured me
of that plague. write this to show you
1 have been cured by your valuable
"Nolandine, invaluable to me. I owe
you many thanks. do not write this
for publication, but if you think it may
benefit any of our fellow-1nen similarly
afflicted, you may use t as you think
proper. Very respectfully,

DEFERRED MATTER.
A Sound Platform.

At the second days session of the
Christian Conference, under the auspi
ces of the Evangelical Alliance of the
Boston, on the 9Th, Rev. Moses d. Hoge,
of Richmond, spoke to the question of
"Christian Cooperation in Sustaining
and Directing the Moral Sentiment OF
the Community" He said he was not
one of those who believed the world was
growing worse, though he would admit
it was doing SO in places: He did not
believe the pulpit was losing its power,
though some of the men who tried to
fill it were losing theirs. Yet there was
need for work everywhere The raising
up of the standard of political and com
mercial integrity, the reconciliation Of
sects and creeds, the settlement of the
conflict between capital and labor, the
right education of the youth of the
land, the arrest of Sabbath dissertation,
the development of international law,
with view to the settlement of ques-
tions by arbitration rather than war.
were all problems which might well call
for the power and united effort of the
church.
These sound propositions cover an i'm
portant field of thought, and implicate
almost every condition of society and
government What the country needs
is
More courage in the pulpit;
More honesty and patriotism in poll
tics;
More integrity in trade and commerce;
More craftsmanship in parties and leg
istion;
More equity and justice on the part
Of capital;
A broader view of Industrial relations
and obligations:
ditions and demands;
A higher ideal OF citizenship and its
Duties and more general diffusion of
educational advantages.
A great nation cannot move forward
in the path of usefulness and fulfill it's
high destiny, unless all of its interests
and all OF its legislation are founded upon
morality, enlightened statesmanship,a and
unselfish devotion to the right, wherever
action is called for.
The inception of the purposes and
policies of the country had their source
and reliance in truth and justice. APP
peal was made for the direction and
guidance of Providence, and to that
may be attributed the success Of the
problem of popular government, and
the progress and grandeur of the nation.
1t has withstood the strifes of parties
and sections, and come out stronger af-
ter each strain upon its vitality, with
the devotion of the people intensified and
the respect of the world augmented.
The duty now, in all the relations
which concern the moral, social, and
political integrity of the people, is to
have high>aims; to inculcate right views;
to regard an unselfish devotion to State
and country as above the pretended
claims of party, and to strive for purer
methods affecting government and legis-
lation.

The Great Newspaper.

The New York Tribune is not dismay-
ed in the slightest by the recent Local
elections, and it comes up bright and
smiling this week as strongly Republi-
can as ever, and with an annual prospec-
tus trimming over with wonderful at
fractions. The Tribune, while always
a newspaper dominated by one mind,
and stamped all over with the individu-
atty of it's editor, has, nevertheless,
always had an editorial staff which was
q sort of college of bright and able spir-
its, each one of them specialist in some
line of study and thought. The Tribune
carries the idea a little further this year
by adding to the college, as it were, a
number of special lecturers, Or. in other
words, it has provided for a series of
special contributions by we'll known peo-
pie and specialists, of very great interest
and ability. Both sides of several such
questions as Unlimited Silver and Trusts
are to be given. These special articles,
lars, and will appear in The Tribune
only, are worth far more than the 81 or
So which will enable any of our readers
to enjoy them all. The Tribune will also
print new series of Stories of the War
during the year. in addition to its g. A.
R. page, and it offers large cash prizes
for the best three of these stories There
is often a twinkle of hulnor in whatever
The Tribune does, and this year there is
a very merry twinkle in Its list of special
prizes to the men who get up the largest
clubs. Its prizes aggregate $2,440 in
value, and among them is one which is
certainly amusing and ingenious. "A
trip to New York, with hotel bills paid
for a week and theatre tickets every
evening" is certainly something original
in the way of rewards. The Tribune is
the official newspaper of the Republican
clubs. Republicans who want a National
paper of their political faith will find
The Tribune this year more worthy than
ever of their attention See prospectus

Varicose Veins.

To the Nolandine Combany.:
Permit me to add my testimony to the
curative properties of N olandine.
For many years have suffered from
varicose veins. Twelve months ago I
struck my leg against chair, breaking
one of the veins. The wound thus
made could not be healed except for a
short time; then break out afresh. At
times I suffered untold misery from To-
cal fever and most insufferable burning
sensation. After using two (2) bottles
of your vegetable Nolardine" the
liberated places healed, the swelling
disappeared, natural sleep was restored i,
and my nervous system composed.
AS ver1lifuge, Nolandine acted spc-
cifcal1y on one of my children. AS a
blood purifier and general tonic, your
Nolandine has no equal. Gratefully
yours, d. B. PROSSER,

best way to reach satisfactory conclu-
sion would be to take the matter out of
the courts, and keep it out to meet the
creditors, and by frank, manly, hon
est showing, see if there cannot be some
basis of adjustment reached that would
be mutually satisfactory. An honest
effort should be made in that direction.
The interests of the State require it.
and there should be courage exhibited
in dealing with the subject. We trust
it will be found in the Legislative and
