A Lost Child.

I am trying to find my father. am told his name is James F. Bailey. have no recollection of him, nor do l remember that ever looked upon the face of relative. My mother died fifteen years ago ip Boone county, Iowa. when was only year old. Shortly after I was adopted by neigh Dor named Morgan. When 1 was about eight years old we moved to Nebraska. and at this time my father lost track of me. Understand that he endeavored t6 find me, but was basely led by an interested party to believe that had died. have only recently learned that the Morgans are not my parents. They are nothing to me; l am nothing to them. The thought makes me sick. lonely and sad. l be lievr my father is living in the wide world, and if he is mean to find him. You can assist me if you will, but can offer no reward at present, except my gratitude and my blessing. If you art unable to give me any information re- garding father, please help me te publish this notice and oblige, sincere fy yours, RITA BAILEY,
 San Bernardino, California. Papers please copy.

What Shall We FlshtFcr?

Louisville Courier-Journal. In his address Saturday night. be, fore the Reform Club in New York Senator Villas said:
 We want no platforms for tue sAke of words; we do not care to formulate a policy merely to win sn election to execute q wise policy"
 If the Democratic party is to be marshaled to victory in November il must clearly understand the meaning of victory. There must be no miscon- ception, no lingering doubt anywhere concerning patty policy and party pur- poses.
 Senator Villas says truly we want to win that we may execute a wise policy. The Mckinley bill has been the source of woes lnnumerable to this people. Mir. Breckinridge clearly points out the fact that but for excep- tional conditions at home and abroad the year just closed would have been one of almost universal bankruptcy.
 That Dill and the whole system of taxation back of it is q menace to national prosperity and progress.
 It is not sufficient to repeal it and go back to the iniquitous act of 1888. The Democratic party would not do that if it could; it could not do it if 1t would.
 It must reconstruct the whole sys- tenn of tariff taxation, 80 as to increase revenue while we relieve the people of many of their Mckinley burdens. That is the policy which we wish to execute. and for such an opportunity we can fight vigorously. That purpose and that policy TAust be declared alike in the platform and in the candidate. Any wavering, any faltering, any hesi- tation, any evidence of treachery any where would prove disastrous.
 Down with the robber tariff.

Should Not Be a Competitor

Representative Scott of Illinois has introduced a bill prohibiting the post office department from selling a stamped envelope bearing the usual printed request for return to the owner after a limited period. Under the present system, ' said Mir. Scott. "tlle government is in direct competition with every printing house in the coun.ry. It is not only competitor. but it gives itself a monopoly. The government furnishes the envelopes stamped and printed for the same price as they are furnished without the return card. This is an unwarranted trespass by the govern ment upon the private business of every printer in the United States"

signed, and even newsboys refused to handle the Commercial, declaring their determination to not sell rat" pa- per. The trouble grew out of an ef- fort to reduce the piice of composition in the Commercial office, to which the men would not submit. The temperate manner in which the strikers have de- ported themselves has gained the sym pathy of the public, and as their cause is considered righteous one and they are backed by all the labor organiza- tions in the city, it is likely they will win the fight. The Commercial pro- claims its inability to pay the scale of wages. hence the demand for a reduc- tion. An effort is being made to im- port non union men who will ''stick, , but the outcome of the success of this plan would be the death-knell of the Commercials popularity.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infaned condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken cut ana the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever Nine cases out of ten are caused by cartarrh, which Is nothing but an inaamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Cartarh Cue. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney lS O., Toledo, 0.

in addition it will be point where great
meetings of the farmers will be had and
where every arrangement has been made

Wednesday, May 25th. It will be great

of the Virginia Alliance, President Mann

instructed delegation it is matter of loud
congratulation, and when Cleveland gets an
instructed delegation the ''bossesn deplore
it and think it would have been better to
have said ''for the most available man ?''
There may be some men in the Democratic
ranks more available than either, but
the widest imagination would hardly as
sert that Hill. with his record, was more
available with the millions of Democratic
voters of the United States than Cleveland
with his!
But there may be some in Staunton who
think so. If SO, let them introduce resc-
luton of instruction for Hill. Let's have
this matter settled squarely, so that there
will be no after issues about it. Let there
be tickets run, the preferences of the men
on which. are known. Let's have all Cleve-
land OIL all Hill delegates. Let the people
know exactly what they are voting fer and
who they are voting for.

A Warning in Time.
From the Lynchburr Adyan(

[From the Lynchburg Advanced
The Amherst New Era Of this week says in
an editorials
'Why, one week ago the Virginian and Ad-
vance OF Lynchburg had that city solid fol-
Cleveland, and there was hardly a corporal
guard there for Hill. Those two Cleveland
organs fought and bled for fair primary. in
order to get fair expression from the people,
but did not die, till after the primary. They
got it, and what was it after they got it ?
Simply a solid Hill delegation by vote of
two to one-not a single Cleveland delegate;
all got left out in the cold.''
Why. dear contemporary, before the prima-
ry, the ticket of delegates that was successful
was "unpledged' and absolutely untram-
meled."
After the primary, it was "a solid Hill
delegation.
And, if all reports are to be believed, many
Democrats who voted that ticket did not know
what sort Of medicine was being administered
to them, until latter taking
