The brusque and fussy impulse of these
days Of false impression would rate down all
as worthless because one is unworthy. As
if there were no notes in suubeamsl Or
comets among starsl Or cataracts in peace
full riversl Because one remedy professes to
do what it never was adapted to do, are all
remedies worthless2 Because one doctor
let's his patient die, are all humbugse It
requires fine eye and finer brain to dis
crimiuate-to draw the differential line.
."They say' that DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
cal Discovery and DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription have cured thousands.
They say" for weak system there's
nothing better than the Discovery" and
that tie 'Favorite Prescription is the hope
Of debiiitated, feeble women who need re-
storative tonic and braciug nsrviue. And
here's the proof
Try one Or both. Ifthey don't help you,

WASHINGTON, Dec. I9, 1892.
The most daring and desperate Democratic
conspiracy since the days OF those concocted
for the perpetuatiou and extension of human
slavery is now wen under way. It's chiei

man. Brice and Company raised the sense
less cry that the Republicans were trying
to rob the Democrats Of the Senators to be
elected by the legislatures Of California,
North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Ne
bIaska; as though that party could be robbed
Of what it does not possess-a majority Of
the Legislature ofeither ofthese States. The
Democratic eonspirators do not hope to elect
Democrats from any Of those States 10 the
Senate; but they do hope and expect to
make deals with the populists BY which men
will Be sent TO the seDate who will aid the
conspiracy BY voting as directed BY chief
corman.
Il might be supposed that the legislation
for which these votes are desired was in
some way connected with the so-cailed re-
forming Of the tariff OF with the financial
policy ofthe Cleveland administration; but

This expresses the thought beau

have been deeply stirred by emo

express their feelings. Habitual
swearing is vulgar, but the good

not commit the same sin as the hab-
