For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally. after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, anS that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation Of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. Itseem-
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. / feel
now like a new man. and consider
that August Flower has curedme."

SUPERVISION FOR THE COUNTEY
SCHOOLS.

The proposition to establish super
vision for country school work in
Pet,is county, TO be voted upon at the
spring election should be fairly and
candidly discussed, so that voters may
know that in casting their votes, they
are acting wisely in their own inter-
ests. Partisan bias or personal preju-
dice should be wholly ignored in dis
cussing this matter. The sole qves,
ton is, at present, will supervision
prove advantageous TO rural schools :?
Confessedly it is indispensable to city
and town schools. Nowhere in The
United States are found towns of five
thousand inhabitants without superin-
tendents of schools. That towns
need them and are benefited by their
work is no longer an open question.
If supervision is coed for towns why
is it not desirable to have it for the
country? The schools of Sedalia are
good ; the people are satisfied with
them and it is believed that the repu-
tation of the system in this city in.
duces people to come here and remain.

schools, but we have seldom seen such

THE ELECTION OF SENATORS.

New York World.
There are many aud strong reasons
why the proposal to elect United
States senators by the direct vote of
the people should be carried out by
constitutional amendment.
The senators are supposed to repre-
sent the opinion and sentiment of
their states. But by virtue of legis-
lative gerrymanders they often mis-
represent that opinion or sentiment
instead. New York during the last
ten years has afforded conspicuous
example of this, and other examples
are not wanting.
Again, it is an observe fact that the
system of election by legislature tends
more and more to fill the senate with
money-bsgs instead Of Statesmen. Am
bilious rich men, with no claim to
consideration rs men fit for the sem
ate, establish claims to caucus votes
by aiding with their money in the
election of legislators. A good many
senatorial seats have been bought by
this indirect process, and apart from
the consequent lowering of the char
acter of the senate the practice is cor
rupting and degrading to state poll
tics.
Still more dangerous is the oppor-
tunity which the existing system gives
to corporate monopoly to make pocket
boroughs Of certain stat Is and to pack
the senate with men commissioned TO
represent not sovereign states but cor
porates interests inimical to the pub
lie welfare.
Senators are the representatives Of
states. The people of the states should
have the choosing of them.
