The brusque and fussy impulse of
these days Of false impression would
rate down all as worthless because one
is unworthy. As if there were no
notes in sunbeamS! Or comets among
stars! Or cataractS in peaceful riy-
ers! Because one remedy processes to
do what it never was adapted to do,
are all remedies worthless? Because
one doctor lets his patient die, are all
humbugs? 1t requires finee We and
a finer brain to discriminatory draw
the differential line. ''They say" that
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical discov-
cry and DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion have cured thousands. "They
say' that for weak system there is
nothing better than the "Discovery,"
and that the 'sFavorite Prescription"
is the hope of debilitated, feeble wo-
men who need restorative tonic and
bracing nervine. And here's the
proof. Try one or both. If they don't
help you, tell the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association, of Buffalo, n.
Y, and you get your money back
again. -

A DEMOCRATS VIEWS.


Among the Ohio Democrats who
have refused to support the Campbell
ticket and platform is Hon. Charles
Collins, leading and influential poll
tician of Hillsboro, o., who has here
torfore been one Of the earnest organ
izers of the Democracy in his section
of the state. In publicly giving his
reasons for repudiating the action Of
the Cleveland convention, Mr.. Collins
forcibly exposes the weakness. mis-
fortune and gross inconsistency of the
Democratic situation this year. His
letter on this subject is as follows:
"The masses of the party, so far as
the state ticket is concerned, have been
eliminated from the contest. With in
evitable defeat assured, they set I'D
ticket for the fun of having it knocked
over. They had things their own way
at Cleveland, but it is another thing
to win when others take hand. The
Democrats will divide their votes:
some will vote the Peoples ticket.
others the Republican. Power Of
public plumber will attract many to
the CAMPBELL ticket, qI do not consid-
er either the ticket nQr platform as
representing Democracy. McKinley's
election is assured, and ! hope that his
majority will be so large that it will
commend him to the next Repub-
lican national convention for Presi-
dent. This will briHgEeto the front
the questions of difference in policy
between the two greati1pelitical par
ties. Mckinley will t1ake walk-over
in this campaign. .iiXour machine
politician concoctsr nAis schemes
in in secret conelh hsg 4ie springs
have tae go iraP In Mr.. eanpbell Stated ststed
before the Cleveland convention met
within seven votes of just what his
vote proved to be. He laughs best who
laughs last, and if theRepublicans do
not settle the Cleveland ticket in
November they had better shut up
shop. The Democrats Of OHIO are not
in favor Of free and unlinlted coinage
of silver and it is nQtaan issue. 1t
was borrowed from the Kansas cranks.
Secondly, the Democratic party is not
in favor of graded income tax. 1t
has never advocated double taxation.
Another plank borrowed from the
Kansas statesman(?), oThe planks on
personal liberty and cenSure in Russia
are pure demOgogy and silly in
political platform. The resolution
against sumptuary laws is bid for
saloon votes and against the Christ
ian Sabbath. The platform simply
represents the idea of the men who
prepared it and is not reflection of
the views of majority of the Demo-
cratic party. In short, the Cleveland
convention has thrown away whatever
chance of success the party might
have had on the tariff issue by placing
at the head of the ticket gentleman
who it is thought by many of our best
men is not sound on the only question
of moment in the campaign, and
whose nomination was forced on the
party. For these reasons l do not
see that any Democrat is under any
obligation to support the ticket. The
party will be alive and kicking after
the schemes of the Kansas statesmen
have gone the way of all issues and
defeat in Ohio this year will benefit
instead of injure it, in my opinion"

SocKLEss SIMPSON has undertaken

SOCKLEss SIMPSON has undertaken
herculean task-that of downing
Senator Sherman. When such a
blatherskite as Simpson sets himself
up in opposition to Senator Sherman
because he ceilings to the old ideas Of
finance and will learn nothing new"
it is enough to make one blush>at the
thought that such man as Simpson
has been elevated to position of Ma
tional conspicuousness, devoid of dis
eliminating judgment or good sense.
Sherman is acknowledged by men of
all parties as being thoroughly relia-
BILE and trustworthy on the subject of
finance, and for freebooter like
Simpson to declare him unfit for re-
election because he declines to adopt
some wildcat finance theory is too ri
diculous to deserve discussion. Sen
ator Sherman forgets in his sleep more
than Simpson ever knew on any sub
ject Of national concern, and happily
his political fate does not hang upon
the whims of such fanatics as Sock
less Jerry.

WITH the prevailing sentiment eX-
listing between the people of st. Paul
and Minneapolis on the union of the
two cities, there is just about as much
show for consolidating as there is in
uniting the waters of the Gulf of Mex
leo with those of the Red Sea. The
desire for such a union is not wide
spread or considerable. As the sub
ject is more thoroughly discussed and
more fully understood the advantages
to be gained by either city through
consolidation are not apparent. They
are two growing, prosperous cities.
Why not let well enough alone.

IT is not creditahle TO the New IT,m

IT is not creditable to the New Ulm
Revieao, which is usually honest with
itself and fair with it's constituency
to take such a pessimistic view of the
meeting to be held in ST. Paul on the
18th of August to devise ways and
means for raising additional funds for
Minneseta's exhibit at the Worlds
Fair The Twin cities will not. in
that convention, have anything like
an equitable representation when
compared to the proportion of the
amount they will be called upon to
contribute on the basis Of assessed
valuation. If 100000 is to be raised
on the plan of apportioning to each
county it's pro rata share as shown by
the valuation returned by the assess
ors, Hennepin county would be called
upon to contribute nearly 900 and
Ramsey county about 1000. Thus
it will be seen that these two counties
would raise nearly so per cent. Of the
entire amount. If the various or
CARNATIONS of Brown county would
send delegates as provided in the call,
it would have nearly half the repre-
sentatiOn in the convention that
either of the two great counties men
toned, and only about one-twentieth
the amount to raise. The exhibition
of Minnesota's resources at Chicago
will be from the achole state and not
from any particular municipality or
section, and the article in the Rerieav
warning it's readers to ''Look out for
the Cities, is certainly uncalled for
and in very poor taste. The RerieaV
has an undoubted right to oppose the
meeting, TO discourage the raising of
any more money, and to humiliate
the great State of Minnesota before
the people of the world fit SO choose,
but for it's own credit it should step
out onto broader grounds than to
charge that the commission will be
under the dictatorial control of the
Twin cities, and show up their inter-
estS at the expense and sacrifice of
the balance of the State. An intelli-
gently edited paper such as is the Re-
view does itself injustice by taking
such untenable grounds.

press of the state for and against the
policy of soliciting the members of
the legislature to petition the Gov
ernor for an extra session to provide
for additional funds has met with but
one sentiment on one point-that the
$500 limit is entirely inadequate for
the requirements of the state in max
ing a commendable exhibit of the
great and varied resources, industries
and manufactures of Minnesota at
the fair in '93. While all tor nearly
alD the papers acknowledge that the
most equitable method which can
be possibly employed for raising the
required amount is through the legis-
lature, there are some few who have
misgivings as to the propriety of call
the body together for fear Of -unfor-
seen questions arising which would be
disastrous to the interests Of the
state. While such thing might be
possible, there is nothing to Indicate
that anything of the kind would oc-
cur. And, again, the position is tax
en- by one or two papers that, mas
much as the legislature failed to ia
vorably consider larger appropria-
tion than $4,000 last winter it would
likely decline to increase that sum at
this time. Those who followed the
trend of legislative matters will re-
member that the Worlds. Fair bill was
brought up on the heels of the defeat
of the Davis interest bill and the Cur
rier railroad bill. The friends of these
measures waxed wroth over the dispo-
sition made of them and blindly
refused to give the Fair bill that earn
est thought and patriotic considera-
tion which its Importance demanded
and which it should have
received. We are also of the opinion
that the wide discussion of the sub
ject had since the adjournment of the
legislature, coupled with the knowl-
edge of what other states have done, are
doing and will accomplish in the way
of securing ample means with which
to place their commonwealths in an
enviable position before the people Of
the world, has had the effect to
cause interest to supplant disinterest,
and those who were careless and OBJ
livious to our states needs can now be
relied upon to support any equitable
and popular plan to raise the money
their Indifference and opposition so
disastrously defeated at a former pc
Rod
While there is no question that the
plan of an extra session as proposed
(the members to serve without mile
age or per diem) is the most popular
with the people of any yet suggested,
there may, and we sincerely hope will
be, something better evolved at the
meeting in ST. Paul on the 18th inst.
The FREE PRESS has no greater in
terest in the matter than any other

know that there exists such an over
whelming popular sentiment that the

hibit and the attractiveness of her
