CHAIRMAN RILEY, Of the Demo
cratic State Executive Committee, in
a recent interview on the result of
the late election paid a high tribute
to what he termed "a plucky and de-
serving Democratic press" and gave
it credit for a large share Of the vic
tory. lie also said the press should
receive the hearty, united and liberal
support of the party. We think that
1t ought, too. We know from our
own experience that it is often at
considerable pecuniary loss that the
newspaper carry on the battle.
With the best intentions TO be fair to
all men, and with sincere conviction
that the principles we advocate are
those that will bring the greatest
good to our common country, we
find that our motives are misunder-
stood and our sincerity questioned.
Republicans withdraw their patron
age and the editors finances suffer.
We do not mention this complain
ingly. We expect such a result. But
we simply want the Democrats to
know that it costs something to ad-
vocate the principles Of the party
often it costs q great deal. But we
shall be fully satisfied if, as Mr..
Riley suggests, the Democrats will ex-
tend to their papers a hearty, united
and liberal support.

There's Il patent medicine which is
not a patent neutrality-suspicious.
as that may sound. Its a discovery.
the golden discovery of medical
science. It's the medicine for you
tired, rundown, exhausted, nerve
wasted men and women; for you suf-
ferers from diseases of skin or scalp,
liver or lungs-it's chance is with
every one, its season always, because
it aims TO purify the fountain of life
the blood-upon which all such dis
eases depend. The medicine is DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
The makers of it have enough conf
dence in it to sell it on trial That is
you can get it from your druggist.
and if it doesn't do what it's claimed
to do, you can get your money back,
erery cent of it.
That's what its makers call taking
the risk oftheir cords.

President Polk, Of the Farmers AL

THE New York Sun wants to know
why, when Pattison was elected Gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania, Chauncey F.
Black, who ran on the same ticket
for Lieutenant Governor, was de-
feated. The insinuation is, of course,
that Pattison and his friends failed to
act fairly toward Mr. Black. The
Sun, however might find an interest
ing question Of the same sort nearer
home. What is the reason that Gro
yer Cleveland was defeated for the
Presidency in New York in 1888 when
at the same election Governor Hill
was elected by large majority? We
can much more readily believe that
Hill and his colleagues traded off
Cleveland in 1888 than that Pattison
sold out Black in 1890. Pattison is
not that kind OF a man, while as for
the New York politicians-well-the
less said about them the better.

DEMOCRATS MUST STAND FIRM.

The Republican Senators in caucus
assembled have determined to push
the Force bill through the Senate.
The second day of the session they
took up that obnoxious measure for
consideration. 1t is being engineered
by such nasty old frauds as Hoar and
FRYE and Blair. President Harrison
is urging it on with all his feeble
powers.
The duty of the Democratic Sena-
tors is obvious. They must resist the
passage of this unpatriotic scheme by
every means in their power. They
must resort to every argument ana
every device known to politics TO
block the Republican game. They
must stop at nothing, save revolution.
And we are not sure but that revolu-
tionary measures would be justitiable
i'm preventing the Force bill from be-
coming a law. The bill proposes TO
steal the freedom Of the people-are
not any means to kill it perfectly al
lowable?
1t is plain that the Democrats Will
have to fight their battle unaided by
any Republican allies. The party
lash is whipping the majority into
line. But we would be sorry to
think that thirty Democratic Sena-
tors could not devise plan of battle
by which they could fight off this as
sault upon their liberties until the 4th
of March. We believe they can
make a successful resistance if every
man stands to his gun day and
night. But there must be no shrink
ing from duty. There must be no
deserters. There must be hard work
by every man.
The Democrats must give no
quarter. They have received none.
nor need they expect TO receive any.
Rather let every appropriation bill
fail than to allow the Force bill to ad-
vance one step. Rather let the
wheels of legislation be entirely
blocked than that they shall grind
down our rights as they turn.
The people will back up the Demo
Gratis. They have already endorsed
their course. The masses of the vo-
tiers have said that they want no
Force bill. The honest Republicans
do not want it. 1t is only the dying
struggle of unworthy partisan politi-
clans They will perish with the
failure of the Force bill, and the loss
to their constituents and their
country will never be felt.
We want the nation to hear from
West Virginia's Senators in the
struggle that is now on. We hope
that they will win new laurels for the
Mountain State.

THE Presidents annual message,
which was read in Congress last
Monday, is lame affair of the con-
ventional sort. Notwithstanding its
sweeping condemnation by the
people, he still thinks the Mckinley
tariff bill is good thing, though he
admits it has great many faults.
The President thinks that the Force
bill ought pass, in the interest of fair
elections, having plainly disregarded
the fact that the people North and
South say that they do not want it.
The message contains no original or
striking ideas, and is in marked con.
trast to some Of the courageous and
able documents OF the last admins
tration.
