Not a Miracle, Now.

Until recently Consumption was con-
sidered incurable, but now people are
beginning to realize that the disease is
not incurable. The cure of Consumption
is not a miracle, now. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will cure it,
if taken in time and given a fair trial
This world-renown remedy will not
make new lungs, but it will restore
diseased ones to a healthy state when
other means have failed Thousands
gratefully testify to this. 1t is the most
potent tonic, or ngth-restorer, altera-
tive, or blood cleanser, and nutritive, or
flesh-builder, known to medical science.
For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood,
'Liver Complaint" Dyspepsia, or Indi-
gestion, it is an unequaled remedy.

wEBsTER'S READY WIT

Harper's Magazine.
More or less sportive artifce enters
into the parry and thrust of lawyers
combats in court Fancy the drOllery
of man like Webster playing upon the
word "doctor."
Daniel Webster, when in full practice,
was employed to defend the will of Rog-
er Perkins of Hopkinton. a physician
made affidavit that the testator was
struck with death when he signed his
will.
Webster subjected his testimony to a
most thorough examination, showing,
by quoting medical authorities, that
doctors disagree as to the precise mo-
ment when dying man is struck with
death, some affirming that it is at the
commencement of the disease, others at
its climax and others still affirming that
we begin to die as soon as We are born.
81 should like to know" said Mr.. Sui
livan, the opposing counsel, "what doc
tor maintains that theory
"Dr. Watts" said Mr.. Webster with
great gravity:
"The moment we begin to live
We all begin to die
The reply convulsed the court and
audience with laughter.

ANOTHER GIBSON HOUSE INCIDENT.
New York Press.
A disgraceful exhibition of race preiu-
dice recently occurred at Toledo, Ohio.
The Rev. John Smallwood, highly ed
ucated colored clergyman and polished
gentleman, was turned away from seven
hotels in succession because of his At
rican descent. At some of the hotel
offices his application for room was
refused in insulting terms. At others
he was politely informed that the house
could not accommodate him.
Mr.. Smallwood had Just returned from
attendance at the Worlds Sunday School
Convention in London. In the British
capital he had met on terms of equality
with some of the most distinguished
men of Europe. Mr.. Gladstone had
been impressed with his ability and
culture, and had entertained him as a
guest in his own house Yet when he
returned from monarchical England to
Republican America he was insulted by
supercilious hotel clerks, and could not
obtain admission into the hotels of a
Northern city.
In Southern town such a display of
race intolerance would have been less
surprising. That it should have oc-
CURED in Toledo shows that even in the
North there are many individuals who
are yet totally "unreconstructed"-
sons cursed with such bigotry that they
cannot see the humanity of the black
man because of the color of his skin.

that their number is growing less every
year.

PUBLIC OPINION.
Just WHAT IT MEANS.

James G. Blaine.
His (McKinley's) victory at this time
is very important to the country and to
the Republican party. He and Mr..
Campbell represent the honest difference
between the two parties at this time.
There is no lodging and no evasion, and
the voter need not be deceived. The
election of Mr. Mckinley means the
policy of protection and honest money;
the election of Campbell means free
trade and corruption of the currency.
HOW IT PROTECTS THE POOR MAN.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The revenue duties which the tariff
law imposes are on luxuries only.
Necessaries such as are not produced
here come in free. That is how the
protective tariff benefits poor people.
It protects their wages from cheap for
eign labor, and gives them foreign
articles for their own use at the cheapest
possible prices. Thus are American
workingmen enabled to get better pay
and live better than any other working
people in the world.
