OUTLINED IT'S USEFULNESS.

Now the smoke Of the recent con-
test has passed away and the result
is fully known, the conclusion is
forced upon every thinking mind
that the Republican party, as a po-
li,ical organization, has cHtliyed its
usefulness. The verdict of the free
suffragans all over the continent was
so pronounced and emphatic in the
matter that lot the shadow of a
doubt can remain. The Repabii-
can leaders themselves foresaw this
conclusion some time ago. They
were convinced that their protective
tariff as National Issue was not
compatible with the people; that its
enforcement was unequal, and op-
pressive upon those who occupied
the huIabler walks of life. The ne
groes as a factor In sentimental
politics had nearly lost all their force.
Even the negro himself, especially
in the Northwestern States, was
giving the grand old party the go
by; cutting loose from tie ties which
had bound him in political bond
age for so many long years.
These things considered, which
the leaders were fally advised of,
there was no issue of general public
interest whatever that they could go
before the country on with any hope
of success, or Of holding together,
hence the Force bin was introduced
as an entering wedge, with view
to their retaining place and power
perpetually without either National
issues or National principles:
This insiduous anti-Amerlcan mon
strosity was garishly gilded in their
platform adopted at Minneapolis, and
Mr.. Harrison in his letter of accep-
lance spoke Of it as a moral meas
ure soley intended to prevent fraud
at the ballot boxes. Their speakers
landed it to the skies as most
righteous and necessary law to pre-
serve Intact the integrity and purity
of the peoples government. All
this and much more was said and
done by the Republicans, while the
Democrats ruthlessly stripped of
the gaudy. gliding, showing up the
tyrsnnical hobby in all its liberty
destroying deformlty, and thus the
issue was joined between the once
two great parties Of the country.
Fhe verdict has been pronounced
with no uncertain sounds, the Dem
ocracy has been duly recognized as
the true and only reliable party of
the people, while The Republican
party has been peremptorily ordered
to step down and out on the grounds
Of having outlived its usefnlnessas a
representative of American princi-
PIES and feelings.

PROSPECT Fer PROTECTION.

During the recent campaign we
commended with might and main for
the election OF Hon. G. j. Boatner
to Congress. Mr. Boatner has been
triu,nphantly elected over all
the combined opposition in the dis
trict, which according to our views,
was eaiiiently the proper thing to
have done. Our advocacy of Dir.
Boatner was earnestly and honestly
based upon two considerations, Po-
itical and Material.
Politically speaking, Mr.. Boatner
was the only sure enough Democrat
iu the race, and as a Democrat, we
stood by him first, last and all the
time, until the well earned wreath of
a pronounced victory adorned his
manly brow.
AS to the material point, there
cannot possible be any doubt about
his Intelligent and practical effective
ness in handling the question of pro-
lection from overflow, in the Halls OF
Congress, for the people of our val
lev. Indeed, We have sometimes
thought that this question was para
mount, and rose superior TO political
and even party obligations as far as
we were concerned; but in this in
stance party, political and material
Interests acre all In perfect harmony
when united upon the Hon. c. ].
Boa,ner, snd has realized complete
success. So now we can. with some
degree u satisfaction, certainly make
some reasonable calculation on
TIE PnosrEcT FOX PROJECTION.
We have repeatedly explained that
the oft-racurring creyasses arose
from want Of sufficient means to
build permanent and safe embank-
ments, and every new creyasse left
the taxpayer in more impoverished
condition and less able to pay the
taxes, which were at the best, in
sufficient for the needed protection.
The situation has been materially
and satisfactorily changed as far as
the money feature is concerned.
The officers OF the general govern
ment have been induced to recognize
the expenditure OF money on levees
for the protection of the people in
the valley. Ii Is true, government
funds have been paid out for levce
purposes for sometime past, but only
as an adjunct to the Improvement OF
the channel OF the river under the
auspices OF the River Commission.
SO we may look to the future with
more confidence than heretofore as
far as the question Of money for
leveeipurposes is concerned, and gen.
cral scientific enquiries for the best
methods to secure safety.
With this marked Improvement
financially, and an aggressive, per-
sistent representative in Congress to
care for our interests, We can safely
say that the prospect for protection
never was IS promising as it is to-
day. The States will join hands
with the general government to the
full extent of their means, so that
ere many moons We can confidently
invite emigration, capital and ali the
attendants upon progress into our
great valley without any dread of the
inundating waters.

are quite likely TO cause condition of the
mucous membranes of the nose and throat SO
nearly resembling catarrh that they are prac-
tically identical. Also chronic diseases which
depress the nervous system will produce tho
same result notably female weakness. They
cause ilabby, pale condition of the mucous
surfaces, with a sticky, stringy mucous secre-
ton, which produce much hawking or cough
ing, generally called ostarrh but the whoie
trouble is caused by nervous depression, pure
and simple. Besides the usual symptoms Of
catarrh, the patient has brown specks before
his eyes, slight dizziness, roaring in the ears,
attacks of nervous headache, palpitation of the
heart, flashes OF heat, followed by Slight, chilly
sensations. faintness, depression, dependency,
foolish Fears and many other similar ones. In
such cases local treatment can 90 nothing but

A Word of Exclamation.

We wish TO call the attention of all contestants
for cur $4,000 prize offer 20 the rules governing
tic contest. There is some misunderstanding
among a number OF the contestants as to the man
ner OF making up their ballots
Every ballot must contain bat four nalnes-one
name opposite each Of the four positions which
viii le filled by the nominating convention. If
any oue sends but one ballot, that ballot must
contain sour names. If any one is sending two,
or more, ballots lie make up two or mere
tickets Of four names each. But 10 ballot is per
Ini.tcd TO have mere than 'e man named for
any OF The four positions of republican
PRESIDENT or yicc-rrcsdent, demoCratjC prcs-
dent or vice president. If you are sending in
tao b.l!ots, make each out scparlty, and name
bat four men each, signing your name to both.
ANY hallos which has on it more than four sc!cc-
tons for the four positions 10 be filed viii not he
recognized.
Write your ballots c!cail-that is DO not write
one name and rub or scratch it out and put
another one Should you desire to change any
name, take piece of paper and make new
balot-follow copy given in paper We also
supply agents with regular printed ballots.
this is very plain, and must BE observed to
secure recognition in the contest. We make this
cxr.auation because there has been some mis-.
construction Of the rule. Some voters have put
down two OF more names, for each OF the positions
Il, lie filled, Oh the same ballot. The above cX-
planation is explicit, and who reads il
carefully is likely TO misunderstood it.
