HOW CAN VIE DO IT?
That Is What Is Agitating
The Public Mind.
We All Know That Something Must Soon Be
Done About Il.
How To Meet a Great Crisis Among Our
How To Meet a Great Crisis Among Our
People.
Something must be done about it,
There is no doubt about that.

Something must be done about it.
There is no doubt about that.
And that something must be done
quickly, or it may be too late.
On behalf of our readers we have
made some very important investiga-
tions in this vicinity, and we have to
report that our apprehensiOns were
correct and are substantiated by the
facts. We found that there is great
er proportion of our towns people who
are the victims of some form of nervous
or chronic disorders, than ever before
in our history. 1t is a fact beyond
doubt, that these diseases are increas-
ing in our midst at an alarming rate
Feeling that something must be done
at once in the matter, we have been in
consultation and communication with
several of New York City's most emil
nent physicians-al specialists in the
treatment of nervous and chronic dis
eases, and we give our readers their
opinions and advice as to how to effect
a cure in these cases.
DR.. S. M. Reynolds, one of New York
Citys greatest specialists, says unhesi-
tatingly and emphatically:
Use DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy in all such cases. / have
years, recommended patent medicine
| This great remedy, however. cannot be
considered under that head, as it is q
physicians prescription. | lave used
| it among my patients and in my family
and l unhesitatingly pronounce it the
most valuable remedy for the nerves
| have ever used"
DR.. Henry PETER, also one of New
York City's great physicians, says:
! "Tell your sick people to use DIR
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, have used it in my practice with
wonderful results. | have found it a
perfect and complete cure for patient,
in my practice who were suffering from
all forms of nervous troubles, sleepless
ness, headaches, nervous weakness ani
debility"
The great New York physicians, Emf
Neumer, Md, physician-in-c chief of the
New York Lodge and Association Hos
pital. writes US:
I'VE are using DR.. Greene's Nervurf
blood and nerve remedy at the Hospi
tai for our patients with good success
Other physicians gave us the same
advice for our people, and from the una
nimity of opinion of the doctors, we
are assured that this great and widely
known remedy is just what our sick
and suffering citizens require to restore
them to health. All the doctors say
that it does cure, and all sufferers from
nervousness, weakness, poor blood, de
bility, stomach, kidney or liver trou
bles should give it an immediate trial
We know that it is purely vegetable
and harmless remedy, and our druggists
have it for sale at 81. Another thins
of great consequence is this, that it il
the discovery of Dr.. Greene, of 35 w
14th Street, New York, who is a renown
ed specialist in curing nervous ani
chronic affections, and he can be con
suited free of charge concerning any
case, personally or by letter.

Found his Brother in Dying Condition.


Thursday says -
George Thomas, farmer, who lives
in Fluvanna county, was found lying
in fence corner near Haden's store on
Tuesday night last. He had been to
HaGcns store where he went to cast
his vote, and was on his way home
His brother, Mr.. w. T. Thomas, was on
his way home from Palmyra, and it
was by him that the unfortunate man
was found. He thought the body was
an overcOat or cloak in the road, and
upon examination, was shocked to dis
cover that it was his brother, APP
parently dead.
Assistance was secured, but before
the unfortunate man could be taken
home he was corpse.
No theories are advanced as to what
caused his death, and just how he
came to his death is still a mystery.

Nor FOR SALE.-A most significant
and satisfactory lesson taught by the
election is that the American people
cannot be bought Millions of dollars
have been spent in yaiu in the effort to
bride and corrupt them. The triumph
of corruption at the polls would have
pl resented more reason for alarm than
the passage of a force bill, for liberty
can recover from a blow from without,
but never from rottenness within. In
spite of the millions poured out by
the piutocrats and monopolists the
people voted pure and honest ballot.
The election demonstrates that the
country is still sound and healthy at
the core, and this is it's greatest and
grandest moral, for while popular vir-
tue remains unassailable the republic
can take no permanent harm.-BQlto.

What Harrison Saws.

Harrison attributes his defeat to the
Mckinley Bill and the Force Bill, but
chiefly to the Mckinley Bill, though
the Force Bill not only solidified the
South, but increased the Democratic
vote in the North. He thinks Carter,
Chairman of the National Republican
committee, made a mistake in trying
to capture Democratic States instead
OF trying to hold the Republican States;
but that, if no mistakes had been
make, the Mckinley bill would have
defeated him.

The returns show that the country
was ready for peaceful rev blu
ton. To just what potent cause the
Republicans will attribute their disas-
ferrous defeat we cannot conjecture. If
they are candid they must say it is due
to popular consciousness that it is no
longer safe or prudent to leave the gov
eminent in their hands. They show a
too strong tendency to convert it into
cash and to make of it machine for
extorting indirectly from the masses a
large and unneeded portion of their
hard earned means.-NOrfolk Land

Those who believe in special provi-
dence will have no difficulty in account
ing for the sweeping Democratic vic
tory, for in all parts of the country ev-
erything seemed to work together for
good to the Democratic party, and the
magnitude of its victory was brought
about by felicitous concentration of
seemingly fortuitous circumstances.

party we sincerely rejoice; but over the

natured to triumph.

Republican Political Prophets.

The editor of the Spirit Of the VALLEY
very gracefully and philosophically ac-
cepts the overwhelming defeat of the
Republican party, and candidly ac-
knowiedges that as a politcal prophet,
he is not a success, having, On the
Friday preceding the election, very
| confidently predicted, latter careful
and general survey of the political
field that Harrison would be reelected
by a triumphant majority"
The editor of YoSt's Weekly is no
better political prophet than the editor
of the Spirit Of the Valley. On Thurs
day preceding the election he not only
predicted with much confidence the
re election of Harrison, but stated that
he had watched the progress of the
canvass in New York with great deal
of care, and considered the causes
operating in the industrial districts
especially" and then predicted that
the majority of Harrison in New York
would.be nearer 10000 than 10000, as
estimated by the National Republican
Committee-thus missing it by about
$4,000 in single State, as Harrison, in
stead OF getting near 10000 majority,
lost it by 10000 or more Like the
editor of the Spirit Of the Falley, the
editor of Yosts Weekly is a failure as
political prophet.
From these illustrious examples it
would seem that Republican political
prophets are as unreliable as weather.

The People Have Declared for Demoe-
racy and Against PlutOeracy.

Under the above caption the New
York Herald very sententiously and
properly expresses what the people
decided in the election on Tuesday
week, when it says "the American
people decided whether democracy or
pluto cracy is to reign in this country
for the next four years.
Whether the masses or the classes,
the millions or the millionnaires are to
rule.
Whether it is to be government OF
the people, by the people and for the
people. or government of aristocrats,
bv aristocrats and for aristocrats.
Whether the United States is to lie
republic in reality, or, like the old re-
public of Venice, q republic in name,
but in fact an oligarchy whose despotic
and vicious sway, "corrupting alike
| the ruler and the ruled, was but a
mockery of those sacred principles
which are alone founded in truth and
natural justice.n
The republican party is the party OF
the aristocrats the democratic is the
party of the masses. The republican
is the party of the millionnaires the
democratic is the party of the millions.
The republicans stand for wealth and
aristocracy. Their supremacy is the
supremacy of the rich and the rule OF
the few. Their exercise of power is the
sway of an oligarchy.
The democrats represent the masses
They stand for popular rights, popular
interests and popular principles. Theil
rule will be the rule of the masses. Ii
will be the reign of democracy. 1t will
be government of the people, by the
people and for the people.
The republican party is the. party
of millionaire manufacturers ano
wealthy protected employers. 1t il
the party Of the monopolies, trusts
and combines which have so ruthlessly
Ipreyed upon the people. BY pro
stecting all these it has kept and hoped
to keep itself in power through the
money and votes given in return fol
protection.
Republican success would have beer
the triumph of all these elements. Il
would have been four years more O.
the policy which makes the rich richer
and the poor poorer, which oppresse'
the many for the benefit of the few
which takes comforts from the poor tC
igive luxuries to the rich.
The democratic party is the party O
the poor, the party of workingmen, the
party of the masses. 1t stands for com
petition against monopoly, for the
rights of employees against the tyran
ny of employers, for the interests o.
the masses against the exactions of the
classes, for the comfort of the many
against the luxury of the few. Its sue
cess. is the triumph Of popular govern
ment, popular rights and popular
citizenship. 1t is the triumph O.
democracy over plutocracy.
Between the two the people have
chosen. They have rendered verdict
SO emphatic that it's meaning is not tC
be mistaken. By an overwhelming
majority they have decided that they
have had enough rule of aristocracy
and plutocracy.
They have declared for democracy
for government of the people. by the
people and for the people. .
They have proclaimed that the
United States shall be a republic and
not an OligarchY.n
