This custom, one peculiar to Persia
(where the form of the prevailing Mo-
hammedan faith is the Sheeite, and diff
fers materially from the Turkish and
Arabian, the Sunnite), has its incon-
veniences and draw backs, no doubt, but
also it's decided advantages, and one
consequence of it is that throughout
Persia there are no women leading dis
solute and depraved lives. But the in
stitution of seeghay is also responsible
for an enormous amount of litigation
there, claimants to honors and large
fortunes constantly arising under the
pretense of being the sons of seeghays

heritance is to be disposed of. The

CLEvELAND'S ENEMIES.
Origin of the Trouble In the Democratic
Ranks.

Ranks
The trouble between Cleveland and
his party began as soon as he was in
angurated. 1t was evident within the
first twenty-four hours after that event
that he proposed 10 do exactly as he
pleased. without regard to the wishes
of those by whom he had been elected.
He took occasion at the very outset to
let it be known that he did not expect
to consult the party leaders or to Guilt
vate amicable relations with them
His attitude was that of a man serenely
confident OF his own power to have his
own way, and thoroughly determined
TO meet all opposition with uncondi-
tional defiance. This has been his pol
icy, and the consequences are easy to
see. He has estranged all the promi-
nent democrats in the country by his
studied contempt for their advice and
his resolute refusal to grant them rea-
sonable favors. The administration is
without the support in congress that is
necessary to carry out its plans and
purposes 1t would have been defeated
in all of its undertakings but for the
help magnanimously given TO il by the
republicans. Nothing that it desires
can be obtained except by fight. Its
worst enemies are on the side that is
responsible for it's existence, and that
should be anxious to promote its sue
cess. The meanest things that are said
about it come from those who worked
hardest 20 win the democratic victory
81 ise2, ana who have least sympathy
with anti-democratic doctrines and in
terests.
This situation is peculiarly unfor-
tunate one for Cleveland. He has more
at stake in the case than anybody else.
The men who are antagonizing him
have little or nothing to lose In COM
parison with what he may forfeit; and
the wonder is that he persists in a
course that is so manifestly inimical to
his personal welfare. 1t is all very
well to say that he displays remarkable
courage; but he displays 1t in way
that falls far short of practical wisdom.
The responsibility for the unpleasant
feeling between other conspicuous
democrats and himself is largely his
own. He could have preserved peace
and harmony If he had cared to show
friendly spirit and to stoop lit
tie now and then to con-
quer. That is what his party expect
ed him to do-that is what a party
always expects its president to do; and
it is quite safe To say that his party
does not indorse the methods that he
has adopted and the means that he has
used for the accomplishment of his OBJ
jects. His popularity with the demo-
cratic masses has steadily declined
during his present term. He went in
to office under the most favorable con-
ditions for increasing his reputation
and making a signal name for himself
in history, and in less than year he
has thrown away all of the good
chances with which he started. The
opportunity of his life was missed be-
cause he lacked the ability to eompre-
bend and improve II, and the man who
thus blunders in politics or in any,
thing else cannot hope to escape dis
aster sooner or later.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A VANISHED ILLUSION.
Breaking of the Spell Which Put the
Demncrats I'm Power

Democrats In Power.
The Cleveland myth has practically
disappeared. The popular illusion re-
speeding the president has vanished.
For long time it completely enveloped
one party and largely overshadowed
the other. Now its mystic spell has
been dissipated and in the place of
this imaginative being the real Cleve-
land stands forth plain and unadOrned
to the popular eye.
Throughout Mr.. ClevelaDd's first
term the Cleveland myth dominated
general thought. IL is true he was
beaten when he sought reelection in
1858, but the defeat did not shatuer the
idol The feeling grew and gathered
force that he was exceptional, heroic
and statuesque lie was almost wor-
SHIPPED as something greater. higher
and better than his party. His own
partisans regarded him as cast in a
special mold, and large proportion of
his political opponents accepted him as
different from ordinary human clay.
This idea imposed especially upon coll
lege professors and upon men who
thought they were thinkers The
Cleveland myth developed into sort
of fetch. and there was a widespread
notion that kind of mystic charm as
ISOLATED itself with him
But all this is changed. There are
not merely a hundred public evidences
of the revolution of feeliDg-tbere are
still more convincing signs within the
range of private observation. Every
man is conscious in his contact with his
I fellows of the complete on revulsion of
sentiment. In his own circle he sees
and feels an entirely different opinion
respecting Mr.. Cleveland Instead of
being regarded as superior, infallible
and unerring. he has come to be con-
sidered as narrow, uniformed, opin-
/ donated and incapable. He errs con-
stantly in the choice of men and in the
direction of policies 1t is seen that he
made a colossal misjudgment both in
his secretary of state and in his score
tary of the treasury. and that he has
neither the penetration nor the breadth
/ to set them right In whatever it
touches. whether it be foreign or do
nestle affairs, his administration is I'M
fortunate, and it marks the lowest ebb
| OF national honor and success.
The secret of this complete revulsion
of pub bic feeling is the fact that Mr..
I Cleveland has now had his first real
test, and has utterly failed under it
| When he was president before he
| could do little because the senate was
politically adverse. Now for the first
/ time he has had free scope, and the
country has had the opportunity to see

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion, or prostration,
another with pain here and there, and in
this way they all present, alike Z themselves
and theii easy going and indiffer Mt, or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
fol which he prescribes his pills and pOtions,
assuming them to be such, when, in reality,
then are all only symptoms caused by some
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of
the cause of suffering, encourages his practice
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no r tier, but probably worse
by reason of the clay, wrong treatment and
consequent conn lications. A proper medi-
cine, like DIR. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription,
directed to the cause would have entirely
removed the disease, thereby dispelling all
those distressing symptoms and instituting
comfort instead of prolonged misery.
