Ter SECRET.
Wonderful Complexion Which
No One Could Explain.
All Women were EnVlOuS Of Her For Many
Years. = ! I
Now They Know All About 1t and Follow
Her Example.

A lady well-known in our social cir
cles has for years been at once the
envy and admiration of all the ladies
hereabouts, on account of the wonder
full preservation of her health and
beauty. and particularly because of
her clear aud dazzling complexion.
She has been many times urged by
her acquaintance and friends to dis
; close the secret of her marvellOusly
youthful appearance. Last evening
she grew confidential to little knot
of friends, among whom the writer was
present, and her secret is now secret
no longer.
"Why il is really no secret at ALL she
said, "A perfect complexion depends
upon just two things, strong nerves
and Il goo digestion.
| Most Wumen are excessively nervous,
weak and languid, and as a result their
compilations are sallow and their faces
pinched, drawn and wrinkled. Female
difficulties always aggravate the troub-
lie. Few women have perfect digestion
Now obviously, if women wish sound
health and good compilations they must
get their nerves strong, their digestion
good and have no female weakness
Disorders of the stomach and liver
with the consequent clOgging of the
system, Is very trying to the complex
ion. The best thing in the world to
overcome these difficulties is DR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy for it is a wonderful strengthen
er of weak nerves, and gives vigorou;
appetite and perfect digestion. Il
should be used by every woman who
is at all weak or run down. Besides
it is a vegetable remedy, pure and

Deafness Cant be Cured

by local applications, as they can moi
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness and that is by constitutions
remedies. Deafness is caused by al
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

paan operatives without lessening the

to see that is not entirely sincere,
and that there is tinge of disingenu-
business in what he says. He really
believes and expects that the demo
cratic policy will fail disastrously, and
If is not uncharitable to assume that
he hopes that it will.
1t is in this spirit, perhaps, that he
urges that the work of tarie revision
be left ever entirely to the hands OF
the incoming Congress-that is, to a
democratic administration. AS he
recognizes the existence of no burdens
that ought to be removed, he cannon
conceive of any responsibility resting
upon the republican Senate or upon
himself, as President, to do aught fol
the relief of the people in that dlrec-
ton. He urges that the question
proper national quarantine laws be
taken up and acted upon at t9s SEQ
sion. He also expresses the hope tha'
the legislation which he has heretofore
recommended for the protection o.
railroad employees against the dangers
to life and limb resulting from old ant
defective methods of .braking ant
coupling cars may be passed by tn
present Congress. These are excellen
recommendations, but there the Presi
dent stops. This would seem to be, il
his eyes, about the limit of the legis
lative responsibility of the Fifty
second Congress in its second session
and of his own administration in it

To BREAK UP THE SUGAR Trust
The bill introduced Wednesday by
Representative Harter, proposing to
rob the sugar trust of it's grip by max
ing it pay one-half of one cent pound
on raw sugar, would make uniform
rate on all sugar, refined or unrefned.
At present there is duty of half cent
a pound on refined sugar, such as the
people use, but none Oh raw sugar.
The proposal is to make the trust pay
into the treasury needed revenue of
half cent pound on raw sugar and
thus lose its monopoly. The present
duty on sugar exists only for the trusts
benefit. The price of refined sugar
cannot be affected by the proposed
duty.

Income Tax.

We have always thought that a tax
on income over certain amount was
the most just, and the most easily paid,
as it would not fall upon any except
those who could pay it without
inconvenience. The Charlottesville
Chronicle is also of this opinion and
says that ''of all the expedients for in
creasing the revenues of the Govern
ment wisely graded income tax seems
to us the best. 1t is a just tax, and
would produce a large revenue. The
old income tax raised some 60,GG0,0CC
OF $40, O,OOO, and since its repeal the
number of men subject to it must have
increased enormously.
Among those who would have to pay
under an income tax are the men who
are responsible for the present con-
dition of the treasury. The protected
manufacturers deliberately encouraged
legislation which would increase the
expenses of Government in order that
revenue reform might be made difficult
or impossible.
To make such men assist according
to their ill-gotten means, for the relief
of treasury bankrupt through their
devices would be poetic justice. No
body would be called upon to pay this
tax who is not amply able, and the
rich have too long escaped due pro-
portion of the burdens of taxation.
Why the Democratic leaders hest
tate to impose this tax is not quite
clear. 1t is just and would be popular.
OF what other tax can as much be
saidt" ~

Comparison with the vote of 1885

600 on his total, while Cleveland gains
oyer $4,000. The republicans lost heav-

ECONOMY ADVOCATED.

We should not enter upon our work
in the least spirit of resentment nor in
needless disregard of the welfare of any
portion of our citizens. The mission
of our party and the reforms we con-
template do not involve the encourage
ment of jealous animosities nor a de-
structive discrimination between
American interests.
In order that we may begin with
free hands we should vigorously op-
pose all decisions which have their
origin in undemocratic teachings or in
demagogic attempts to deceive the
people. Mere catchwords which, if
they mean anything, have no relation
to sound policy, and phrases invented
to please the car of the victims of cum
ming greed ought not to stand in our
way. Looking beyond all these things
we shall find just principles, furnish
ing vantage ground from which we
can lay out a safe course of action.
We should try to rid ourselves and
our couutrymen of the idea that there
is anything shabby or disgraceful in
economy whether in public or private
life. If extravaganza in public eXpend-
iture has prevailed in the past it af-
fOrds no excuse for its continuance,
pabie as the waste of money held by
public servants for the peoples uses.
Our government was founded in a
spirit of frugality and economy, and
its administration should not depart
from those lines. we need no glitter
or show TO divert our people fr"u tur
bulent thoughts. We have Il more sub-
stantial guarantee against discomfort
in d plain aui simple plan of rt:ie, in
which every citizen has n share. In
order that 1iis should do its perfect
work it il essential that there should
exist among our people wholesome,
and disinttresttd love for their govern
ment for its own sake, and because it
is a heritage belonging to all.
The cultivation OF such sentiment
is not only a high duty but all absolute
necessity to the consumlratiOn of the
reforms we enter upon. We shall ut
terly and disgracefully fail If we at
tempt these reforms under the ihfiu-
ence of petty partisan schening or the
fear of Jenpardizing personal political
fortunes. They can only be accom-
