getting together and formulating
new parties. More than two great
national political parties can never
exist simultaneously in this country.
There is neither room nor necessity
for more than two. The man who
cannot find what he wants in one or
the other of these must choose the one
which nearest suits him and be salts
fed, or else throw away his life
politically in some of the little side
shows. The time may come when a
new political party will rise up to
national prominence and dimen>
sions, but that time isn't yet. The
new party must rise out of the ruins
of one Of the old parties. History
has proven that defeats cannot crush
the Democratic party out of exis-
tence, and the Republican party is
not likely to give up the ghost as
long as it remains in possession Of the
offices. The only hope Of ever driv-
Ing The Republicans from power
rests in the Democratic party. The
peoples Party" or some other new
party to spring up in the future may
to some slight extent either hasten
or retain this end, we do not presume
to say which, but if ever the Repub-
lican party is supplanted in political
control of the country the Democrats
will do it, and to them will belong
the victory, and we have an abiding
faith that the day is not very far dis
tant when it will be done. Public
offices and public patronage form alb.
solutely the sole cohesive power of
the Republican party. Once fully
deprived of these the party will be
irretrievably stranded. When this
is accomplished then some new party
will assume both state and national
Importance, but not until then.

Death of Congressman Houk.

Judge Leonidas G. Houk, member
of Congress from the Second District,
died at his home in Knoxville early
on last Monday morning from the eff
fects of a dose of arsenic taken
through mistake Sunday afternoon.
We clip the following brief sketch of
his life from the Nashville Ameri-
cans report:
LeOnidas Campbell Houk, Con-
gresham from the Second District,
was born in Sewer County, June s,
1886, attended an old field school less
than three months but was otherwise
self-educated when at work as a
Cabinetmaker or at his fireside. He
read law while working at his trade /;
was admitted to the bar Sept. 10,
1859, and practiced until the war
was a member of the Loyal East
Tennessee Convention in 1861.
He entered the Union army as a
private Aug. 9, 1861, was promoted
to Lieutenant in the First Tennessee
Infantry, was mustered in as Colonel
of the Third Tennessee Infantry Feb,
3, 1862, and served until April 8, 1868,
when he resigned on account of ill
health.
He was several times a presiden.
tial elector and was elected Judge of
the Judicial Circuit of Tennessee
March 8, 1856. In 1872 he was chosen
a Representative in the Lower House
of Tennessee. He was elected to the
Forty-siXth and each subsequent Con-
gress up to the time of his death.
On the stump, Houk was a most
bitter Republican. He was stalwart
among stalwarts. He was a daring
and skillful politician, and poured
hot shot into an opponent upon the
least provocation. He was Il man of
much magnetism, and among the
mountain boys" as he termed
them, he was absolutely invincible.
1t was the mountain boys, "the one
gallus fellows" as beloved to refer to
them, who sent him to Congress first.
AS neighbor no man was more
genial or had more of the milk of
human kindness in his heart. No
matter what religion, faith or po-
litical creed the neighbor held, HoulI
was ready to serve him day or night
if in need and suffering.
Although he has been in Congress
twelve years he dies poor man. In
his death the Republican party of
Tennessee loses a most prominent
leader.

WHAT is the matter with the Nash

talking in this wild and foolish way?
Just listen at it:
1.-THE Farmers Alliance cut prec-
ious little figure in the recent conven-
ton of the Kentucky Democracy.
The majority were not antagonistic
to the wants of the farmers, but dem
agogues are bringing the order to the
dogs so rapidly that the Democrats of
Kentucky are about ready to join
with their brethren in other States
and smash the whole movement. If
the alliance ever goes to pieces its
followers can blame nobody but the
tricksters and chronic office-seekers of
the Polk and Macune calibre.

MUCH is heing made of the silver
resolution adopted by the Kentucky
State Democratic Convention by the
free coinage newspapers, but they all
omit to state that it went through
after hard struggle, and over the
heads of many of the best Democrats
in the State. Hon. Henry Waterson
rendered the platform committee this
bit of advice:
My advice is to let silver alone, or
if we do have to allude TO it to do so
in a way that will not antagOnize the
world. The free or un-
limited coinage of silver is a mere
shibboleth. For Gods sake let us let
it alone, and try and elect our ticket
in 1892.

FEvERS CUREDI
Given Up for Dying Of Fever
by Two Of the Best Fam
lily Physioians in
Grand RApids.

Ny daughter Ross had violent fever
and WAS confined TO her he'd three
weeks During this tlme she was At
tended by two of the beat physicians in
this city, but they could not help her;
one called il Lung Fever. the other said
il was Malsrlal Fever. and she suffered
dreadfully. but neither of them could
get her able 10 sit up or help her in the
least, and she WAS growing worse oil the
time. We had lost all hope in her case,
but / thought ! would try once more.
Dec. 10, after my daughter had been
confined to her bed three weeks, ] called
on DIR. s. Clay Todd and told him how
my daughter was and he said he could
cure her and would have her sitting up
tomorrow morning, and that the next
day she should get up and be dressed,
and she did. and she has improved very
fast ever since, and now has q grand
appetite and seems to be enjoying her
self.
After she had been taking DIR. Todd's
medicines one day, one OF the other
physicians (old school) called and l told
him that Dr.. Todd said he would cure
her in . few days. He replied, "You
don't think DR.. s. Clay Todd can do
more than God Almighty, do your"
Well, 1 replied, / don't know, but am
going to try him. The physician said
he would like to see her in q week. but
he never came back, but my daughter
is well and she began to get better with
the second dose of DR.. Todd's medi-
cines.
Iwould cheerfully recommend DR.. S.

IL perfectly helpless before the physi-
clan, and must take the fatal dose; or
the physician is more dangerous than
an Indian with . rife, because the in-
dian might not hit you with his buile.,
or he might change his mind, but the
physician never; he has been educated
TO believe that he must stop your pain
Immediately, even If IT takes your life.
and stop that pain he will, whatever
the consequences. In this way, il you
are not killed Immediately, and many
are, you are, by the use OF these pow

with false hope.
This false hope is INDUCED in 10y
other members of the family. The sick
man is unable to express his opinion
while he IS under the influence OF the
drug and may never come out OF it.
1t is extremely difficult 10 learn the
number killed in this way, as these
causes of death are not reported 10 the
