Another grateful mother is Mrs. Henry
Fry, who resides at Flint Place, South
Boston, Mass. She too had a daughter
who suffered teri IDLY from st. Vitus
Dance, an alarming nervous affection,
but by the same marvellous remedy,
her child has also been restored to per-
feet health.
Here is what she says:
'My daughter, twelve years old, be-
came affected with st. Vitus Dance.
at once placed her under the care Of
physicians at the Boston Dispensary,
where she was treated for three months.
She grew worse until she entirely lost
her speech, and the right arm became
useless. | tried other remedies without
benefit.
Finally l began the use of DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, and before finishing one bottle she
could talk. She has now used six bot
ties and she talks as well as ever, has
perfect use of her arm, and is wonder
fully improved in all respects.
THE effects Of this wonderful medicine
in her case has excited great interest
in many neighbors and friends who are
acquainted with the facts"
With such evidence of the marvellous
power to cure disease that DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy pos
sesses, no mother who regards the well
fare of her child will hesitate for an in
slant to give it this great medicine. A
cure is sure. The remedy can be got at
the druggists and is purely vegetable
and perfectly harmless to give to chill
dren of any age. 1t is the prescription
and discovery of Dr. Greene of 35 W.
14th Street, New York, the eminent
specialist in curing nervous and chronic
diseases, who can be consulted free in
regard to any case, personally or by
letter

MahOne's Scheme.

Mahone's circular to the Republicans
shows that he is toling the Democratic
Third party men into the Republican
party as he did the Democratic Read
justers. Mahone's scheme is for the
Republicans to vote for the candidates
of the Third party for Congress with
the understanding that the Third
party will vote for Harrison and Reid.
Despairing of electing Republican
congressman, he hopes to get the
Third party men to aid the Republi-
cans to carry the State for Harrison
and Reid. Malone is playing a game
in which the Republicans have all to
gain and nothing to lose, and the
Democratic Third party men all to lose
and nothing to gain. 1t is like that in
the case of the white man and the
Indian, when the white man told the
Indian that he (the white MANI would
take the turkey and give him the buzz
Yard, or the Indian might take the
buZzard and he would take the turkey.

A BABE FALLS FROM TRAIN
Mrs. Lewis Nosek and her 18-months
old baby, of st. Louis, had been visit
ing Mrs. Nosek's parents in Cleveland,
Ohio, and Saturday were returning to
their home ON the Big Four passenger
train. While the train was bowling
along at speed of 40 miles an hour,
near Rushelvania, O., baby Nosek, be-
came fretful and it's mother was hold
ing it in her arms CLOSE to an open win
dow Suddenly the child gave leap
and shot out of the window. The
mother and other ladies in the car
screamed with fright. The train was
stopped and backed to the place where
the babe lay. Instead of finding the
lifeless corpse the little one was found
sitting on pile of gravel near the
track He was uninjured, except a
slight bruise ON the forehead. The
mother was almost frantic with joy on
finding her darling unhurt.

A MOTHERS PRIDE.
The Beautiful Child of a Well
Known Lady.
Startling and Alarming Condition Suddenly
Developed.
Beyonl All Hope and Skill of the
Doctors.

The most beautiful and lOvable thing
on earth is little child; is it any won
der that the heart aches hardest when
the little one, the brightest star in the
worlds ornaments, suffers in the grasp
of terrible disease.
All can therefore understand the bit
ter and heartfelt grief of Mrs ii. H.
Watson, of 153 Bloomingdale St., Wor-
cester, Mass, when her darling little
four-yeal- old child, child of most sin
gular sweetness and beauty, was seized
with severe and serious nervous dis
ease, and parents alone can appreciate
the depth of her joy and thankfulness
when the little idol of her heart was
suddenly snatched back from the grave
as it were, after doctors and friends had
given up all hope.
We will let the happy mother tell the
story
MY little daughter, Ethel May, was
terribly and alarmingly sick. She haG
twenty-siX commissions in two years
Her nerves were very weak, her APP
petite very bad; she could not SLEEP
at nights, her limbs would draw up, anC
she suffered, oh, so much She was as
yellow as saffron, and weak and deli
cate.
''Our local doctors gave her up, say
ing she could not be cured
But thanks to a wonderful medicine
she is now perfectly well and healthy
This remedy is DR.. Greenes Nervurs
blood and nerve remedy, and it has
completely cured my little girl"

A POINTER FOR PROHIBITIONIsTs
Rev. Sam Jones is not only one of
the most earnest and determined, but
one of the ablest of prohibitionists, and
in his address or sermon on the politics
of the day in Gainesville, Ga, on Sun
day of last week, he gave pointer to
the prohibitionists. In the course of
his remarks he said =
"You third party fellows are clever
enough. You may get to heaven, but
you'll never get to Washington. I'll
tell you my platform and then you
may guess my politics. I'm for every
thing that's against whisky and against
everything that's for whisky. Now
you know me. I'm a concentrated,
consolidated, eternal, uncompromising
every day in the year, ready to- be
knocked-down-and dragged out pro-
hibitionist.
When any party under the sun nom
mates a good, upright man I'll vote for
him. If knew my vote would elect
old Grover Cleveland, he'd be the next
president this country ever had, and
tildl ) Wlldt HldhoS Inc SdS Wudu L Sd y
AS the Danville Register says, 'that's
sense. Mr.. Jones is a prohibitionist,
but he knows that his party is in a
hopeless minority and that being the
case, he feels no hesitancy in giving
his support to Mr.. Cleveland, believing,
as he does, that the best interests of
the people will be subserved by Mr..
Cleveland's election"
Every prohibitionist should vote for
Cleveland, particularly if he lives in
South.

Republican District Convention.

Tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 22nd, is
the time for the meeting in this city of
the Congressional District Convention
of the Republican party for the pur-
pose of considering whether or not to
make a nomination of candidate for
Congress of this district in opposition
to Hon. II. st. G. Tucker. We had
supposed they would nominate Re-
publican candidate, till we saw the
circular issued by Gen. Malone ex-
pressing his opposition to the nomina-
ton of any Republican candidates for
Congress in any of the districts of the
State; but we do not think so now, for
Malone is still the tyrannic ruler, not
to say master, of that party in Virginia,
and as his will is law unto them, they
will scarcely dare to make a nomina-
ton, but, with affected independence
will say that their judgment had ali
the time led them to believe that it
was unwise, under the circumstances
when the members of the Third party
are so efficiently working for them
to make nomination, and that they
were pleased and gratified to find that
the astute Mars Malone" agrees aOith
them-showing how great minds will
run in the same channel. This is the
way they will probably think and act,
and some may reproach Malone for
stealing their thunder and express
ing their thoughts before they had an
opportunity to do SO in the Convention,
and thus robbing them Of the credit
justly due them for the originality of
that brilliant stroke of party policy
but in so doing it adds. they think,
another Feather to his cap" for it
shows how quick he is to adopt the
ideas of great men like themselves, and
how alert he is to get all the credit for
them. O he's smart, and as quick as a

ment under federal authority. The
people, the source of all political
power under our constitution, have no
voice in this election of those who, I'M
der the monstrous provisions of this
bill, can sport at will with their dear
est rights. This legislation, my fellow
citizens, is devised in the spirit of hate.
Can it be possible the American peo-
pie will consent.to the enactment of a
law so hostile to the spirit eff our free
institutions, legislation which savors
only of vengeance, and the successful
operation of which would involve the
expenditure of millions of dollars and
bring in its train untold horrors? Can
it be that the hands are now to be turn

through which you have happily pass

Swallowed by the Republican Party.

twill not be long before the Repub-
lican party and the Peoples party will,
like the lion and the lamb, lie down
together, with the Peoples party in
the stomach of the Republican party
for at the command of Malone, the
Republican party will proceed to ''take
inn the Peoples party, and, after that
act of deglutition, will smack its mouth
and pat its stomach with demonstra-
tions of great enjoyment, whilst the
Peoples party, with smothered voice
will inquire, like Congressman Cobb
of Georgia, "Where am I at ?''

which it leaves a very agreeable taste,
besides rendering the breath fragrant.
If the mouth be rinsed with it after

Baltimore NeWs-Campaign Funds.

The Baltimore Nea0s is engaged in
the laudable object of raising cam
paign funds for Virginia, West Vir-

of Maryland, and is publishing in that
paper good campaign matter which it
furnishes to Democratic clubs at cheap
rates. Subscriptions for Virginia can
be sent either to Basil B. Gordon,
Chairman Democratic State Commit
tee, Charlottesville, or to the Balti-
more Meas.
Contributors may designate whether
their donations shall be distributed in
Virginia, West Virginia, or the Fifth
or Sixth districts of Maryland.
Unless otherwise designated all con-
tributions will be divided equally be-
tween the three States, and Marylands
share will go half to the Fifth and half
to the Sixth districts.
The contributions so far have been
very encouraging, and it is hoped they
will continue to increase. Now is the
time to do something for liberty and
good government.

A Word to our Third Party Friends.

From the Petersburg Index-Appeal.l
By Our Agricultural Editor.
As the third party in this part of
Virginia is made up mainly of alliance
men and former democrats, and rs the
writer was, and still is, an alliance man
on the original principles and objects
of the order, he ventures w, rd OF
caution and entreaty to his former al
lies who have gone into the new party.
In the first place, friends, what can
YOU hope to gain politically, financi-
ally, or otherwise, by attempting to
build up a new party in the face of two
strong onesY and what can you expect
to accomplish more in this way than
by remaining with, and working in
and through the old partiesy IT you
can muster strength enough to make a
new party successful would you not be
strong enough to rule one of the old
ones and would it not be cheaper,
costing less in time, labor and money,
to throw your influence with one Of
the old parties than it would to cut
loose from them entirely and try to
have everything ali your own way 1t
takes pile of money, the shrewdest
sort of brains, and great deal of hard
work to organize and run a political
party The cause of agriculture will
suffer, and individual interests will
e.. ;f for,,,arc ,,arnit ,nr1ph of this
sort of capital to be diverted from their
| farms.
Friends, it will cost you three dollars
to accomplish anything through the
new party, for every one that you
| would have tc spend in either of the
old parties to gain your ends. If you
pull out and antagonize the old parties,
both of them will fight you hard, and
you will have to give all you possess to
stand up or your cause will be lost.
Again, would it be easier to keep a
new party clear of corruption than it
would to prune an old one of its rot
tenness by throwing your influence for
good with it How long can you hope
to keep crookedness out of your own
ranks, when your party must necessa-
rily draw its recruits from one or both
of the old parties?
But suppose that the third yarty is
secretly allied with the republicans, as
many think, is it manly to strike from
the bush and wound your old friends
under bogus name? In this case,
would it not be more honorable to
show your colors and let democrats
know where you stand.
"Whom the gods destroy, they first
make mad" Your phrensy has about
killed the alliance. The next step is
self-immoIation. The only hope for
you is in a speedy return to your first
love, the old democracy. Come back,
friends, and together let us fight for
freedom and prosperity under the old
flag, of the only true peoples party.

SUPERVISORS FOR LIFE.

AS L nave said, the Force bill takes
the election of Representatives in Con-
gress out of the hands of the officers
provided by State law and gives it to
Federal agents. 1t provides for the
appointment by the Federal courts of
supervisors who are to have charge of
its execution. TO secure its enforcement
the supervl 3ors are to be backed by
deputy United States marshals without
limit. The registration of voters is to
be under thu control of the supervisors
The supervisors are to have the power
TO inspect naturalization papers and to
invade priv~.te residences in order to
make such inspection. Should the cleo
ton officers fail promptly to pass upon
the qualification of voters the super
visors at once can do so, administer the
the oath and receive the ballot. They
are created sole judges as to whether
or not the election officers do their duty
and from their decision there is no ap-
peal. The supervisors appointed by
the federal courts under this bill are to
bold their offices for life. Under the
extraordinary powers given by this bill
TO the federal agents who are to supper
wise the election of Reprcsent atives in
Congress the control of such elections
passes from the hands of the people to
the hands of the federal administra-
ton.
DISREGARD OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
'Th.s bill applies to all cities having
a population of 10000 or upward 1t
applies to country districts, exclusive
of such cities, upon application to the
supervisor by one hundred voters of
such districts. At the option of less
than one per cent. of the voters to be
affected by it this law, with all of it's
hardness and great expense, can be put
into operation, and tEis, too, without
the slightest intimation that injustice
or fraud 3 contemplated in the manage
ment of such election. AS have said,
while this bill is intended especially to
control elections in the South, it may
be put into operation in every congress
sional district in the United States.
Aside from its utter disregard of the
rights of the voter, it's disregard of
local government and of the sanctity
of homes, it's expense would be enor-
nous. If put into operation in every
congressional district, as it may be, it
would call into its service at every poll
ing place federal election officers ag-
gregating more than 100000 through
out the entire country. 1t has been
estimated that its cost at your regular
congressional election, if put into gen.
eral operation, would fall little short
of ten millions of dollars. In every line
and paragraph the bill breathes dis
trust of the people. 1t is totally de-
structive of local self-government. 1t
would be difficult to find on any page
of our history more daring attempt
to weaken the power of the people and
centralize all power in the federal gov
eminent.

Malone wants no Candidates for Con


Under date of Petersburg, Sept. 9th,
Gen. Malone, Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee, issued circu-
lar, giving his reasons why the Repub-
licans should not have any candidates
for Congress in this State. He thinks
it will consolidate and bring out the
Democrats, and thus lose the vote of
the State for Harrison and Reed. He
is opposed to having candidate even
in the 4th district which has a large
Republican majority. In reference to
the call of the Republican State Con-
vention called in that district, he says I:
LET no republican suppose that I
either prompted or counseled the call
of a convention. 1t was a blunder
which is likely to bring upon the party
consequences far beyond the disaster
of defeat. The Pandoras box has been
opened, and it will take an effort at
the hands of the party in each county
to avoid consequences that all will
regret"
