able free offer of DR.. Greene. of 80 West
18th St., New York City. the most sue
cessful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. He has established a
system of free, letter correspondence,
to tell the sick and suffering every
where just what their trouble is, and
how to get well. All you need do is to
write him a letter, telling him your
symptoms and how you feel. He will
answer it, explaining your case mi
nutely and giving all possible informa-
ton. And for all this he charges
nothing 1t is the best opportunity
you ever had to consult the highest
authority. without leaving your home,
and without paying any fee.
He gives such careful attention to
every letter, that you understand in
stantly just what ails you. He makes
a speciality of treating patients through
letter correspondence, and is having
wonderful success by this method. 1t
was this same successful physician who
discovered that remarkable medicine,

and tremendous practice, enables him

Democracy the only hope of the South.

Aside from the political views and
governmental policy of the Democratic
party, which are undoubtedly the best
for this section, the ascendency of the
Democracy is the only material hope
of the Southern States.
Upon this view of the case the Hon.
VIM. M. Bynum, the distinguished
Democratic leader from Indiana, whose
speech made such a favorable impress
sion year ago, is so pat and to the
point that we publish his remarks and
adopt them as our own.
In an interview the other day, the
distinguished Congressman, after de-
ploring the tendency of some of the
Southern States toward PopulistisIn,
which must inevitably drive capital
from among them, said: 1.-The Demo
crazy is the only hope of the South
Its principles enacted into laws are the
only means by which Southern indus
tries can be developed. Populistic
theories cannot do it, for they repel
rather than attract capital. Republi-
canism cannot do it, for the ascendency
of Republicanism in the South means
the ascendency of the colored race
This the Southern people will not
tolerate. and even If over-ridden there
would be IL reign of lawlessness which
outside capital would not endure The
Democratic party is the only hope OF
the South. There is no other party 10
take it's place, aud that party, on the
other hand, must merit the confidence
of the people of the South by turning
down some of its alleged leaders, by
recognizing the younger generation,
and by adhering faithfully to it's
promis 9s.''
| Is well that all Democrats who feel
inclined to rush into Populism as q
remedy for the evils from which be
suffers should ponder such arguments
as charlottesville Chronicle.

Wavering ofthe Solid South.

Even some portions of the South
have wavered in their allegiance to
that Democratic party which has been
it's bulwark and sure defence during
the storrus of thirty troubled
wears. North Carolina and Tennessee
are even reported to have gone Repub-
lican Aud it has been less than four
short years since this same Republican
party was moving heaven and earth to
pass force bill which. if it had become
a law, would have enslaved the South
ern people for years to come. That in
iquitous bill failed by one vote in the
Senate (having passed the lower House
by solid Republican vote through a
combination which, in all probability
will never occur again.
That party has never protested the
slightest regret for that attempt. On
the contrary all their State conventions
have made devotion to federal elections
laws and force bill part of the creed.
The Southern people must have ex-
ceedingly short memories if they can
forget a deadly assault upon their
dearest rights and liberties in less than
four years. The Northern and West
ern people do not forget so easily.
They remember the war they waged
against the South, although that wal
ended thirty years ago.
Perhaps when the folly of those
Southern people. who have forgotten
their friends and joined their enemies
has helped to do lis perfect work,
they may have occasion to repent il
sackcIoth and ashes when their allies
in full possession of the Government
again, by their aid-have passed such
federal election laws as their malice
may suggest. 1t will then. however,
be too late-C charlottesville On rO1licle

tiOPiliaS and Consumption.

An autopsy held recently upon the
body of a gorilla in Boston, by Profes-
sor Dexter, of the Harvard Medical
School, and Professor Councilman, for
merly of Johns Hopkins University of
Baltimore, now professor of pathology
at Harvard, disclosed the fact that the
animals death was caused by consump-
ton. This gorilla, which was on pub
lie exhibition, was said to be the larg
est and heaviest ever brought to this
country, and, about forty years of age.
In life the animal was feet 6 inches in
height, and weighed 16S pounds. The
brain weighed II ounces, and in its
structure bore a striking resemblance
to the human brain. Of all animals the
claim is made that gorillas are the
healthiest. have the greatest muscular
development, and enjoy the widest
exemption from disease consequent up
on exposure. When, however, taken
from their native wids and kept in
doors, as rule consumption sets in and
puts an end to them. This fact has
led scientists to ponder over the sug-
gestion whether consumption is not
more the result of artificial life than OF
exposure or INTERCHANGEABLE Sun.

Relief of American AgrIcuIturalist.s

On this SUBJECT, the New York
Herald says the remedy for the Ameri
can agriculturist suffering from the
low prices which fierce competition i'll
all markets of the world forces upon
and ever must force upon his products,
does not lie in an attempt to cut down
the whole worlds aggregate supply of
grain or cotton by minimizing his own
quota of that supply. He can never
enjoy monopoly. He must face the
worldwide competition and prepare as
best he can to overcome it by improved
methods of cultivation and by securing
such economic laws at home as will
leave him unhampered and unhandi-
capped in his contest with other ma
tions.
Fortunately for our farmers and
planters the recent change effected in
the fiscal policy of the United States
by the abolition of the Mckinley tariff
and the substitution of the less bur-
densome Wilson law will soon give
them partial relief and better chance
for competing with foreign agricultur
lists than they have had for a third of
a century. Argentina and Australia,
however, have been quick to see the
advantage which our new tariff will
give our farmers, and these great
farming countries, it is reported, are
now about to throw off the yoke of
'protectionism, while India has al
ready only a nominal tariff (averaging
less than 10 per cent? to burden her
farmers and paralyze her foreign
trade.
American agriculture must therefore
be freed from all unnecessary restric-
tions and artificial burdens if its prod
ucts are to hold much longer their
hardly won supremacy in the markets
of the world. The present cost of
transportation eats up considerable
part of the profit which our farmers
realize from the marketing of their
crops. This loss might be reduced by
removing the duties on coal, iron,
steel-rails and other manufactures of
iron and steel, the tariff-taX ON which
increases the cost of transportation,
which the agriculturist must pay over
every railroad, steamboat and steam
ship line that hauls his products to
the place of sale. With a sliding scale
gradually reducing the tariff on all
articles that enter into the cost of
production and crop marketing
our farmers would soon be able to defy
all competition abroad.

FOREST FIRES.
Human Lives Lost.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Nov. 15.-Reports
from the forest fire districts in this
vicinity show that while the loss to
property is not great. considering the
extent of the territory covered, the loss
of life exceeds apprehensions. Within
fifteen miles from Memphis, three lives
have been lost by fire in the past two
days and there are rumors of fearful
burning in Arkansas, where five lives
were lost. The remains of five human
beings were found, the flesh and cloth
ing all burned off, in st. Francis bot
tom, all within a quarter of mile of
each other. There are fears that they
are the remains of a party of hunters
from Texas, that went into that coun-
try last week. but there is nothing to
support this. except the number of
bodies
The fatalities in this country are
peculiarly distressing. Fanny Wood,
All aged negress, had her dress ignited
as she fled from burning house and
she ran. surrounded by flames, till she
fell dead. Pitt Roy, n nine year old
boy, ran iuto his fathers house which
was afire to save some property. The
house collapsed and he was burned to
death before many spectators The
name of the third victim is not ascer-
talnable.

The Old Mode of Election the Best.

The old system of election-UiUa 0Oce
in which the voter after his name
was given and entered by the clerks, of
which there were two representing the
opposing parties-called out the names
of the candidates for whom he voted,
when his vote was so recorded by the
clerks, has many advantages over the
secret ballot. In the first place it is
more manly, and in the second place
there is but little of any danger of
fraud, and consequently not SO many
contests by the defeated candidates, as
the following interesting statement by
the Richmond State demonstrates
Hon Thos. S. Flournoy, the honor
ed father of Judge HI. w. Flournoy,
was elected to Congress from the Dan
vile district by a majority of two; and
yet there was no contest. In 1S4S, he
was elected by majority of nine; and
there was no contest. And again in
1850. he was defeated by eleven votes;
and still there was no contest. This

A Raai Trouble.

One great trouble with proprictors
and men of business is that they do not
do to suit their clerks and other EN-
ployes If they would just do as their
subordinates wish they would undoubt-
eddy have much easier time, while
they lasted. Now the application
of this is that young men do not,
as a rule, appreciate the discipline they
get in enforced obedience to rules and
to orders when given. As Rudyard
Kipling well says, every man who is
working for another should understand
that when an order is given for a thing
to be done it is hardly permissible to
60 in a walk to obey; a run is the better
gait. Absolute fidelity to the service
in which one is engaged, whether it is
agreeable or not, with purpose to do
the very best one can, is the secret of
success, because the habit acquired of
working with the traces stretched, and
without abatement OF energry or zeal,
is worth dollars when it comes TO be
engaged in-one's own business, ones
own enterprise.
Many men feel that they are at liberty
to use the time for which they are paid
by others to engage in side enterprises,
to use it in diversions of various kinds,
anu O1uen III udppeHS CHdC tue eLup loy
er's interest is made secondary. This
is all wrong, and will. sooner or later,
come home with distressing emphasis.
Our advice to all our young friends is to
mind their employers business, for it
is not only moral and legal duty which
they are in justice bound to perform,
but in doing SO they are minding Their
Own business in way most profitable
to them.
The young man Or woman who makes
it rule of life to be absolutely loyal,
earnest and active in the place where
they are thrown for business, will rarely
need to ask for pronation or to com
plain of inadequate pay. The agent
who is indispensable is he who makes
himself Invaluable by an aggressive and
untiring zeal for those in whose interest
he is engaged. and when he comes to
be master of his own business he will
bring to it the excellent qualities and
good business habits which have been
acquired in faithfulsand unfailing ser
vice to his former superior officer or
business master.-NorJolk Landmark.

on women, many of them were bribed,
some selling their votes for a package
