WHY NOT BE STRONG +?
Do You Know What That Weakness
Means
There is q Limit to Your Endurance.
Have You Reached 1t?
Aeware of the Last Straw! 1t Will Come
Like Shock.

Shakespeare says: "When sorrows
come. they come not single spies but in
battalions." How true this is of dis
ease. How surely will over work lead
to nerv ousness, headache, nervous ex
haustion, prostration, paralysis and
the most terrible nervous diseases.
Bad blood causes humors. stomach,
liver and kidney complaints, rheuma
tism, bad complexion, tumors and all
kinds of blood diseases. That tired
feeling means exhaustion of the nerves
and vital forces-it kills. If the liver
is torpid, constipation follows. This
clogs the circulation aud causes conges-
ton of all the organs
You must stop these complaints right
where they are, if yon value your life.

Vice President stevensou's OpiaiOn.

BLoOMINGTON, Ills, Nov. S.-Vice-
President Stevenson was Yesterday
asked to state his opinion as to the
causes leading up to the democratic de-
feat. He said: THE result is due, in
part, to the financial depression which
came upon the country soon after the
Inauguration of Mr.. Cleveland. While
the democrats were in no way response
BILE for this they were made the scape-
goats. 1t was also in part due to the
delay of Congress in passing the tariff
bill. Had the bill become a law ninety
days earlier than it did, it is quite prob
able that the business conditions of the
country would have SO adjusted them
selves that the political result would
have been different"

Miss KENNA.-Miss Margaret Kenna,
daughter of the late Senator by his
first wife, is coming to the front as an
author of promise. Bobby Flax" is
the title of story by her which APP
pears in the November number of
Munsey's Magazine While, as 81 i'd by
one of our exchanges, this is not Miss
Kenna's first literary venture. it is the
first magazine sketch which she has
published, and will doubtless be sur
prise to her friends, who never sus-
pected her talent. The plot is laid
chiefly in Washington, but the reader
is also given glimpse of the West Vir
ginia hills. Though not love story,
there is a suggestion of sentiment,
pleasant because of its faintness, and
a wealth of manly feeling displayed by
the principal character that would
make him the hero were not that place
taken by Bobby. The story is written
in remarkably easy style that writers
of greater note could well afford to
imitate.-Greenbrier w. Va hide

Embarrassment and Injustice Antici-
pated

The embarrassment of the present
administration and the injustice that
has been inflicted OH the Democratic
party were anticipated by us, and be-
fore entering on the last Presidential
campaign, we remarked on various oc-
casions that if it were not that the Re-
publican party We're running the cOun-
try, and it was necessarily to do some
thing to save it, we would not desire
the Democratic party to get into power,
for we knew that it would be unjustly
held responsible for the condition in
which the Republican administration
would leave it.
If Cleveland had been elected when
he was a candidate in 1888, the coun-
try would have escaped all the evils
and embarrassment and hard times
which we have had and still suffer-the
treasury would not have been bank
rupted; we would not have had the
Mckinley outrage, and the country
would have been prosperous and the
people happy and contented.
The defeat of Cleveland in that
campaign was one of the greatest mis-
fortunes which has ever befallen this
country. His election in 1892 was
fortunate for the country, but not for
the Democratic party. Had Harrison
been re elected the condition of the
country would be much worse than
it is.

Has Not Come to Stay.

The republican resurrection has not
come to stay. For two years, with an
unprecedently large majority, but held
in leash and impOtency by democrat
ic president, these jubilant resusitants
will enjoy moot-cOngress orgy. Tom
Reed will be enlarged in the speaker
chair and the floor will trembe under
the vehemence of republican assaults
upon democracy. Criticisms, indct-
ments and views with alarm will
abound and fairly siZzle in the circum-
ambient atmosphere of congress. All
of this will be to furnish campaign lit
erature and stump capital for the
straighta way presidential race in 1895.
The resurrection, however, will not
be permanent. That same incoherency
of an unwieldly majority that has been
so troublesome drag on the democracy
during its recent incumbencies will also
attack the republicans. They will be
able to do nothing for the country"
after the same fashion and the end of
shat is renewed sloughing agitation
against the powers regnant. They will
lose steadily and heavily from the
mere gravitation of political obesity.
They will not be able to tinker the
tariff. Cleveland will stop that, unless
peculiar nations of how tariff reform
should be effected. They will not get
together on those terms.
Secondly, the republican party will
continue in financiering to go crosswise
of its commercial policy. Its scheme
of gold standard currency and a pro
tective tariff, home market and home
factoring policy will always defeat it
self. The two things-goid money and
protection-pull apart, for they are not
naturally and logically co incident
The one hampers aud eventually de
feats the other. The endeavor to carry
both in the same boat produced the
panics of 1878 and 1884,
Thirdly, the republicans will come
through congress to the presidential
event of 1896 with confusion of it's coun-
ellis and jealousy among the followers
of half a dozen aspirants.
Under these hampers all the wisdom
of that party cannot save it from pop
ular discredit and it will be easily brok-
en- and beaten by united, aggressive
and vengeful democracy. 1t will re-
peat its own and democratic history
and be retired once again as inadequate
to the demands of restless, remorse-
less and rough shop popular uprising.
That is the logical end of this tidal
wave episode as our provision sees it.

Inducements to be Candidates.

Malone did not want any Republi-
can candidates for Congress in Virgin
ia, but the inducements were so strong
THAT there were such candidates in all
the districts of Virginia. The induce
ments were three -
First.-They had chance to be
elected
Second.-They had a chance, if the
Republicans should have a majority in
the House, to be seated whether. they
were elected OF not.
Third.-If they were neither elected,
nor seated without election, they
would have chance, and a good one,
of being appointed to fell some good
office.
In view of these chances they deem
ed it wise to be candidates, as they
had everything to gain and nothing to
lose.
1t seems now that all the defeated
will contest, and their chances of being
seated would have been very good if
they had been needed to ensure a
working majority in the House, but as
the Republicans will have such large
majority as not to need them, their
chances are diminished, and they. no
doubt, are sorry that the majority will
be SO large. There is another consider
alton that may have had some in
duence, and that is, that usually the
House allows each contestant $4,000.
