Modern daily newspapers are one of
the wonders of the age. The Pacific
Coast daiIies are well up in the front

merit OF all the great western dallies.
The Sunday Call from IA literary
point of view is IA prodigy. 1t carries
more high class original matter than
any other daily in the country. Cali

than any other state in the Union.

In fact the belief pervad.s the body
polite to such an extent that wise OBJ
servers see in ultimate results the
downfall of republican institutions
One instance which indicates the ten
dency of the age is the unstab ility of
the public pross. There is an influence
at work that is worse than partisan
shin. 1t is the leaning toward the
rich and powerful to the neglect of the
poor and weak. Those who control
large fortunes and the public officers
who are clothed with II little brief
authority are above criticism at the
hands of the newspapers. The public
officers have become % accustomed to
fiattery that they will not brook an
honest criticism at the hands of an
editorial writer. The freedom of
speech which our fathers prIded above
life is being surrendered as IA voluntary
Offering to aristocracy. In Montana
last week an editor was sentenced to
prison for questioning the motive of II
judge on the bench. The laws of the
land are not different from what they
were fifty years ago, but this proceed
ure would not have been supported by
public sentiment or legal precedent in
the days of Webster. 1t is supported
now by degenerated sentiment, Il
child of todyism. The newspapers
have fostered this growth, of an evil

Silver scored point in the Noven

Silver scored point in the Novenl-
Der elections. The Kentucky democ-
racy split upon the free silver rock.
If the South can't be kept solid on the
gold bug plank the democrats will
meet them half way. The republican
party has always favored the double
standard and every true friend of
silver expects It's restoration from that
SURGE. Now that the ballots have
spoken, both parties will be certain to
have free silver resolutions in their
national platforms one year hence.

"Wnr with England is inevitable!

''War with England is lnevitablew
Such was the startling announcement
Senator William f. Chandler made
public last week in an editorial in his
own paper. Senator Chandler has
been known, for some time, to possess
strong views on the subject of the for
eign relations of our government, and
the precipitation Of the Venezuelan
question: has called forth the above
prediction from HIM. He thinks that
the war will be brought on in vindlca-
ton Of the Monroe Doctrine; that it
will be forced upon us by British en-.
croachments upon other nations all
over the world; that Russia will he our
ally and that the capture and perma-
nent acquisition of Canada by the
United States will be the sure result.
England is u great colonizing power,
or as Senator Chandler calls her, IA land
grabbing nation, and is pushing for
ward with a strong aggressive policy
as her encrOachmints in Alaska and
Venezuela testify, but these encroach-
ments are due more to the fact that
the present administration has in
augurated weakland vasciilating for
eign policy than that England has Il
desire to encounter the United States
in any kind of a war offensive or de-
fensive. A change in the administra-

The railroads have granted the one
cent mile rate to the Colored State
Fair and the managers Of that asso-
citation are hard at work getting
everything ready for the opening.
The merchants in this city are taking
much interest in the fair, and many
of them will make exhibits from their
establishments. The agents at work
in the various sections of the State
are sending in very encouraging re-
ports and a large number of exhibits
will be on hand when the fair opens.
The annual conferences of colored
churches will be in session during the

here from all sections of the State.
the occasion bids fair to be both a
pleasant and profitable one, better
than has ever been held in the city.

Few people know that all plants
contain digestive principles. They
cannot absorb their food until it is
digested any more than animals can.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
learned tie art of extracting and util-
izing these digestive principles, and
it is for this reason that their Shaker
Digestive Cordial is meeting with
such phenomenal success in the treat
ment OF dyspepsia. The Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial not only contains food
already digested, but it also contains
digestive principles which aid the
digestion of other foods that may be
eaten with it. A single 10 cent sam
pie bottle will be sufficient to demon
strate it's value, and we suggest that
every suffering dyspeptic make a
trial of it. Any druggist can supply
it.

New York World.

New York World.
Capt. Vetrio, know as the man with
the iron stomach, gave an exhibition
of his gastric powers before a small
party of newspaper and medical
men at the Sinclair House recently.
Illustrative of the non-effect of
poison upon the lining Of his stom-
ach, he swallowed several concoctions
which were certainly poisonous look
ing, and while the spectators were
gaping with amazement he medita-
lively chewed flower pot. Between
whiles he told stories of occasions
when be subsisted for fourteen con-
secutive days upon pcisons and crock
erv. He seemed to relish ordinary
poison, but strenuously objected to
any mixture containing an acid, for
fear of corroding the iron lining of
his stomach.
Towards the end of the exhibition
Captain Vetrio evidently became hum
CRY, for he took luncheon of tallow
candle, plain bread and morphine
mixture, and then smilingly bowed
the spectators from the room.

over and end for end and failed to
make q 80 of it. He suddenly made
q discovery.
"Oae wants pounding out and the
other pounding iu::'' be chuckled, as
he reached for his hammer. Il don't
claim to be the smartest man in
America, but if I can't put two joints
of pipe together"
He couldn't. The hammering had
not improved them. He took two
other joints, but they were just as
obstinate. All of a sudden Mr..
Bowser got mad and jumped for the
ak, bat his feet slipped in the SCOT
and he went down and saw millions
of stars as the back of his head
whacked the cemelt.
"Some one shall suffer for this" he
said as he finally sat NJ; and he was
on the point of going up stairs and
bringing Mrs. Bowser's perfdious
conduct home to her when the reso-
luton came to have one more tri4l.
Only an hour before he lad read in
his newspaper the saying "Whatman
has done can be done again" and he
picked up all the joints, stood them
on end in a row and surveyed them
in a critical way. None were miss
ing. The end of each and every
Joint had been mlde to fit
into another. All he had to do was
exercise patience and press and
squeeze and tap with the hammer.
Mr.. Bowser pressed. He also
squeezed. He likewise tapped. He
was just on the point Of success
when the joints fell apart and
banged around over his feet and
rolled away. With wild war whoop
he grabbed the ak and began to
pound and batter and destroy, but
as he raised his weapon for a fell
swoop it hitthe ceiling and rebounded
on his head and Mr.. Bowser knew no
more for ten minutes. Then he re-
allied that Mrs. Bowser and the cook
were bending over him with cam
phor, brandy, porous plasters, jana
lea ginger, ammonia, porous sticking
salve, and in far away voice he
heard the cook asking:
is it g. naygur, Mrs. Bowser, who
was sent up here to clean the pipe,
and If so, why didn't I see him."
And in far away tones, as the cam
phor bottle was placed to his nose he
heard Mrs. Bowser reply:
"No-it's Mr.. Bowser himself. He
wanted to save a hundred dollars and
Lave the benefit of the physical ezer
else besides, and guess he's done it.
While you are going for a doctor
you'd better stop four or five men and
ask 'em to come in and help get him
up stairs, and you can stop at the
grocery and order six bars Of SOAP
sent down at once"

but then the.lights went out and he
could not finish by announcing that
his lawyer would see her lawyer in

In an Interview with Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause of the Miracle.

(Frcm the Argus, ALI ca Mich.)
We have long known Mrs. Jas. NJ.
Todd, of Long Rapids, Alpena Co.,
Mich. She las been sad cripple.
Many CT her friends know the story
of her recovery; for the benefit of
those who do not we publish is to-
day.
Eight years ago she was taken
with nervous prostration, and in q
few months with muscular and in
fammatory rheumatism. It affected
her heart, then her head. Her feet
became so swollen she could wear
n othing on then; her hands were
drawn all out Of shape. Her eyes
were swollen shut more than half
the time, her knee joints terribly
swollen and for eighteen months she
had to be held up to be dressed.
One limb became entirely helpless,
and the skin was so dry and cracked
that it would bleed. During these
eight years she had been treated by
score of physicians, and has also
spent puch time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard
work and that medicine would not
cure, and that rest was the only thing
which would ease her. After going
to live with her daughter she be-
came entirely helpless and could not
even raise her arms to cover herself
at night. The interesting part Of
the story follows in her own words:
Il was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and at
last did so. In three days after l
commenced taking Pink Pills I could
sit up and dress myself, and after
using them six weeks I went home
and commenced working. I contin-
ued taking the pills, until now I be-
gin to forget my crutches: and can
go up and down steps without aid.
I am truly living wonder, walking
out Of doors without assistance"
"Now, if I can say anything to IL
duce those who have suffered as I
have, to try Pink Pills, I shall gladly
do so. If other like sufferers will
try Pink Pills according to directions,
they will have reason to thank God
for creating men who are able to con
quer that terrible disease, lheuma-
tism. I have in my own neighbor-
hood recommended Pink Pills for
the after effects of la grippe, and
weak women with impure blood, and
with good results"
Mrs. Todd IS very strong in her
faith in the curative powers Of Pink
Pills, and say they have brought a
poor, helpless cripple back to do her
own milking, churning, washing,
sewing, knitting, and in fact about
all Of her household duties, thanks
to DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills contain
all the clements necessary to give
new Life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They
are for sale by all druggists, or may
be had by mail from DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, n
Y, for soc. per box, or six boxes fol-
