Ex-senator VIM. E. Chandler hes
written q letter to the editor OF the
Grand ForSs Plaindealer, in which he
says the people OF N ,rth Dakota owe
their coming statehood to the republican
party. Likewise. We presume, the peo,
ple of South Dskote owe their prospec
tive advancement TO the republican
party. Mr.. Chandler say 8 that "lf Har-
rlsoh had not been elected, no bill for
new states would have passed the
tiftieth congress. The DEM ocratic house
would have placed itself across its path.
Nor would the bill have passed the
house il the ffty-ffst congress had not
been sure to be republican In both
branches. The democrats have yielded
to the admission OF these new states
solely because they could not help them
selves. They preferred their admission
in the last hours of the fittisth congress
to their ad mission in the early days OF
the fifty-6rss congress because they
thonght they might, by thus reluctantly
yielding, save themselves from severe
eondemnatI This ia un ioubtedly q
clear analysts of the sl.uasion aud the
republicans OF the two DLkotas will bear
it in miud when called to strengthen the
national party ct the polls.

CURED BY CUTICURA.

Our oldest child, now 6 years of age,
when an infant six months old, was at
tackled with virulent, malignant skin dis
ease. All ordinary remedies failing, we
called our family physician, who attempted
10 cure it; but it spread with almost IN
credible rapidity until the lower portion OF
the little fellows person, from the middle
solid rash ugly, painful, blotched and ma
licious. We had no rest at night no peace
NV dav. Finally we we're advised to try
the CUrIcuRA REMEDIES. The effect was
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks
a complete cure was wrought, leaving the
little fellows person as white and healthy
as though he had never been attacked. In
my opinion your valuable remedies saved
his life. and today he is q strong, healthy
child, perfectly well, no repetition Of the
disease having ever occurred.

- Boy Covered with Scabs.
NV bow. aged nine years, has been
troubled all his life with very bad humor,
which appeared all over his body in small
red blotches, with dry white scab on them
Last year he was worse than ever, being
covered with scabs from the top of his head
TO his feet, and continually growing worse,
although he had been treated by two ply
sicians. AS a last resort, | determined to
try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and am happy
to say they did all that could wish. Using
them according to directions, the humor
rapidly disappeared, leaving the skin fair
and smooth, and performing thorough
cure. The CUTICURA REMEDIES are all you
claim for them. They are worth their
weight in gold.
