1t isn't done
by others-that's why the guarantee
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
should command attention. It's
guarantee that means something.
If the medicine doesn't give salts
faction, in every case for which it's
recommended, the money is prompt
ly refunded. Remarkable terms
but it's a remarkable medicine. All
the functional irregularities and
weaknesses peculiar to womankind
are cured by it. For leucorrhea,
periodical pains, weak back, prolap-
sus and other displacements, bearing
down sensations, and all "female
complaints" it's an unfailing rem
edy. 1t is q powerful, restora-
tive tonic and nervine, imparting
strength and vigor to the whole
system.
Try it, if you're an ailing woman.
If it doesn't help you, you have
your money back.
AS regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood, "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" is a perfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results.

RIVERS OF MUD.

Under existing circumstances there is
considerable grim humor in tho action
of the ordinance committee of tho City
Council in deciding to report an ordi-
nance, in line with Councilman Wood
wards resolution, to compel the street
railway company to keep in repair the
street betw cen its rails and for Il certain
distance on each side.
Such an ordinance will he only lust
and right, but at present the Street
Railway Company would have to go to
work with hshlincs and slnkers to find
any street to improve.
The present mortar beds which pass
for streets are carefully banked up at
tho sides with mud of more than aver
age consistency, which serves to retain
the clay porridge in the middle of the

mule carts could put the main streets
in shape to become fordable in tt days

SENATOR CARL1sLE,s POINT.

Senator Carlisle has carried to the
Senate all the craftsmanship and brains
he had in the House. He has brought
out point regarding the apportionment
bill which has never before been dis
cussed in Congress. He denies tho
power of this Congress to change the
number of votes in the next electoral
college from the present number.
Mr.. Carlisle's grounds are naturally
based on the reading Of the constitr ton,
which declares that each State shall
have as many votes in the electoral col
1ege as tho whole number of Senators
and Representatives to which it is then
entitled.
But when the Presidential election is
held in the fall Of 1892 each State will
have in Congress only so many Senators
and Representatives as were elected
last November.
1t would be novel thing to have tho
Congressional elections and the Elrc.
toral College of 1892 based upon differ
ent figures, and the result of Senator
Carlisle's point will be awaited with
considerable interest.
