 As great Improvements have been made in pills as in steam engines. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tiny, sugar-coated granules, or pills, are easiest to take, and never gripe or shock the system.
 They are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless.

J. V. s. is the only Sarsaparilla that old or feeble people should take. as the mineral potash which is in every other SarsapariIla that we know of, is under certain conditions known to be emaciadng. J V. S. on the contrary is purely vegetable and stimulates digestion and creates new blood, the very thing for old, delicate or broken down people. It builds them up and prolongS their lives.

A Pretty Surprise.

A beautifully illustrated and charm
ingly bound edition of Longfellow's
'Evangeline," the most popular long
poem ever published by an American
author, and one of the most famous
poems in the language, just published,
is pretty surprise for book-lovers. It
is in large type, numerous and excel
lent illustrations, very fine and heavy
paper, gilt edges, remarkably hand
some cloth binding, with gilt title and
ornaments. No illustrated edition has
ever before been published at less cost
than S1.5O, and that is about what you
might ''guess" the price of tsss to be,
but it isn't-it sells for only 10 CENTS
plus cents for postage, if by mail.
This covers only about the actual cost
of manufacture by the 100, 600, the pub
lisher's object being, not profit, but to
show the book-loving millions what he
can do. His publications are not sold
by dealers, but only direct; catalogue,
over 100 pages, a literary curiosity in
its way, is sent for a 2-cent stamp.
Every home in the land ought to have
q copy Of this Evangeline, SO charm-
ingly beautiful, as poem, as collec-
5tion Of ARTISTIC illustrations, and q q

erage democrat principle is first

sideratloa. With the republican
party it is different. The party is
made up from office-seekers. What
little principle they once possessed
was buried long ago in the mad
hunt for power. Hence, the fire.
quent internecine wars in the ranks,
especially where they have a large
majority. With the office gone and
no principle to contend for, the av-
erage republican leader drifts about
like ship without rudder-utter-
ly helpless-until the tide carries
him into some friendly port and op-
portunity presenting itself he sldles
back into the party-"a good repub-
lican" still-and perchance repeats
the performance. AS an instance

A Fargo special to the Mime
apolis Tribune says: There is no de-
nying the fact that there is much
dissatisfaction with the ticket NOM
mated at Fargo and much apprehen-
sion as to the result in November.
The conviction that Allin was beaten
out of his own delegation by the
outrageous rulings of Chairman
Dickey, who was regarded as the
more tool of the Burke leaders, and
the immediate reward of Dickey for
his treachery by being appointed
manager of the North Dakota ex-
hibit to the Worlds Fair, is not
tending to harmonic the defeated
faction. The allegation is made
with considerable reason that the
ticket is notoriously weak and that
this alone would be a serious men
ace to party success. But added to
this is the charge of unfairness on
the part of the majority at Fargo,
which has embittered great many
and which threatens the ticket very
seriously. The charge is also made
that the ticket as whole is rail
road affair, and that the design is
to push on Hughes, who is sort of
striker for the Northern Pacific, in
to prominence as a senatorial candi-
date. This suspicion is adding to
the discomfort and finds affairs, after
two weeks have elapsed, in as bad
shape as upon the adjournment Of
the convention. Chairman Spaldine
probably xealizes the truth and will
do all that is possible to allay feel
ing and harmonic matters, but be

"A. Canadian Statesman.


Edward Blake. the Canadian parli-
mentarian, who has entered English
politics and who is now looked on as
the next leader of the next leader of
the Irish party in the house Of COM
mons, has for years been recognized as
the brainiest lawyer and the ablest
speaker in Canada. He was the only
man in the Liberal party that the as
tute Tory premier Sir John A. McDon-
aid, stood in awe Of. When Mr.. Blake
resigned the leadership Of his party
nine years ago Sir John gave sigh Of
relief and smiled blandly. After his
retirement, Mr.. Blake returned to his
law practice, and resumed his old place
as senior partner of the law firm Of
Blake, Kerr, Lash & Cassels, a firm
that consists of thirteen partners and
employs over fifty clerks. Mr.. Blake
first attracted the attention of English
politicians by his mastery arguments
in the judicial chamber of the English
Privy Council, where he appeared in
the interests of Canadian clients four
or FIVE times year. His profound rea
soning and his finished oratory several
times brought him from the bench the
highest compliments ever paid to an
advocate by the judges of the highest
court of the realm. Mr.. Blake is giant
in nature as we'll as in intellect. His
private and public record have not been
soiled by any of the stains that are
usually inseparable from the politicians
life. His nature is kindly and his tenn
permanent serene. All Canadians, Lib
eral and Tory alike, are very carefully
watching the career of the man who
twice refused knighthood and whose
name in Canadian history will stand
very high

A Reduction of Seven-Tenths of Mill
Made by the Board of Equalization.
BISMARCK, g.ls.-The state board
of equalization finished its labors today.
The Northern Pacific railroad tax was
made the same as last year, S2,500 per
mile for main line and $500 per mile
for branches. The total mileage is 4S3
miles. The changes in the valueation
of the real and personal property were
not so great as last year, the assessment
being more uniform. Acting on the
advice of the auditor and treasurer it
was decided to make the levy for gen.
eral purposes 81 mills and for interest
on public debt seven-tenths Of mill.
This is reduction over the previous
years of seven-tenths of mill. A wide
difference in the assessment of bank
stock existed and the board finally
passed resolution orderiug all county
auditors to extend the taxes on banks
in their counties at 60 per cent Of the
capital stock and surplus added.

[CopYRIGHr. 1892. I

The present social season will show
more fine dresses than have ever ap-
peared in Washington before. A great
number of the gowns of the wives Of
our senators and diplomats were made
In Paris last summer, and you may see
a dozen Worth's dresses at the most or
binary reception. There is scarcely al
lady OF prominence who has not an
almost entirely new wardrobe, and the
cost Of the clothes at any white house
gathering now runs high into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Mrs.
President Harrison has a number of
handsome new gowns, and she wore
very fine one on New Years day. 1t
was made for that occasion, and it con-
sisted of a rich pomegranate satin en-
broidered in bright bouquets in
natural tints, opening over a front pet
ticoat of canary satin. This had a
deep hrocaded border with draperies
of amber and embroidered lace. and
the slight V-shaped opening at the
throat was filled in with the lace and
fastened with handsome diamond pin
and pendant. AS this same reception
Mrs. Mckee brought out one of the new
gowns which she had made in Paris
last summer. 1t was princess of
white satin brocaded in velvet, with
design of rose petals. The sleeves were
full and the bodice trimmings were Of
pink chiffon. A wide sash of pale blue
MORE was fastened to the front at the
left side in big bow, and this had long
floating ends. Mrs. Mckee has num-
Der of other fine gowns which she got
in Europe, and the most of these are to
be worn with broad sash and two
wing-like bows at the back. Among
Mrs. Harrison's new gowns, which
she will bring out later in the season, is
