Persons who sympathize with the

1888 Harrison street, Kansas City. He
is an old sufferer from inflammatorv
rheumatism, but has not heretofore
been troubled in this climate. Last
winter he went up into Wisconsin, and
in consequence has had another at
tack. 1T came upon me again very
acute and severe" he said. 'My joints
swelled and became infamed sore to
touch or almost to look at. Upon the
urgent request Of my mother-in-law /

CHANGING CONDITIONS.
Norfolk L0ndn, ark.


There is really little doubt, indeed
there IS the strongest probability, that
within the next five or certainly ten
years, all passenger trains will be NOV
ed by electricity, thus avoiding the dis
agreeable smoke and cinders and max
ing travel much more comfortable.
Not only will this be true but all
houses, dwellings and business houses,
will be lighted and heated by eIectricl-
ty and the cooking will be done with
it. The only reason this is not true
is on account of the greater cost, and
as the more well-to-do people come to
use 1t, even at the greater cost, the ex-
pense will decrease. There are so
many advantages in it. and the rate
of insurance would necessarily be de-
creased as the liability of fire would be
reduced TO minimum.
1t can be seen that when the great
water power Of the country is utilized
for the operation of dynamos and long
lines OF large wire are established to
conduct the lighting and heating cleo
trio current, the need Of coal for heat
and gas and oil for lighting, as we'll as
for turning machinery, will almost pass
away and thus the supply of coal
which it has been said would finally
run out, as that of coal oil, will be ad-
Justed to the smaller demand. The
entire system of heating and lighting
and of turning machinery by steam is
likely to be revolutlonized in a very
few years and we shall get rid of much
OF the dirt, dust, inconvenience and
danger with the change. The posi-
bllities of the near future in this res
pect are bewilderlng.

Why all women are not beautiful and
all men not strong may be hard to ex-
plain but Is not so hard to say WHY
more men are not strong and more
women not beautiful 1t is because
they need to have their blood purified
and inyigOrated by the use of Ayers
Sarsaparilla-that good old medicine
which has not only stood the test of
half century, but was alone consid-
cred worthy OF exhibition, by the
Worlds Fair Commissioners, out OF all
the preparations purportlng, to be
blood-purifiers and nerve-tonlcs. 1t is
a fact, we'll known to medical men and
testified to by thousands that the eff
ect OF using this medicine is to impart
strength to the muscles. vlgor to the
mind, brightness to the eyes, brill1ance
to the skin, and bloom to the cheek.
What more can be desired? Ayers
Sarsaparilla does this for others. it will
do so for you 1t does this by driving
out of the veins and arteries every par
ticle of diseased blood and filling them
with pure and vigorous circulation.
This is the secret both of beauty and
of health.

A CHM RE VIE ".
VIII.

Of the acts Of the Fusion Legislature.
To most Of the people of the State 1t
would seem unnecessary to refer now
to the actual work Of the Legislature,
as if has been but few weeks since
they adjourned.
But while the Legislature was in SEES
sion il was impossible to study calmly
and carefully their work as we can now.
And as thew were pledged to reform,
we think it profitable to continue the
study Of that feature OF their work. By
doino co we can see the Inconsistencies
or the work with the promises they
made the people.
In our last we showed that in the
matter Of appointing new magistrates
that were not needed or wanted except
for partisan purposes, the State was
subjected to an unnecessary expense OF
over $4,000.
Besides the objectionable inconsl.t-
encv of the Legislature in running the
State to such expense for equipment OF
new magistrates, there was much more
extravaganza that showed great discrep-
ancv between their promises and pledg-
es to the people and their actual work
when assembled to legislate for those
very people to whom they had made
such promises. Take the matter OF
general appropriations. 1t was given by
good authority that the appropriations
for insane asvlums were increased y29,-
54S.41 for the Deaf and Dumb vi :
500; for educational institutions S25,-
600. This makes an increase Of $780,
O2S.4l. Add the S26,932. 80 for equip
ment of new magistrates and s., 262.37
for contested election cases, and you
have the round sum of T1O6 2232S
In addition to this the Legislature
created two new criminal courts which
took in many counties that protested
against it. The courts were made, too,
for the sole purpose of making place
for some men who were anxious to hold
office. Besides the increase in appro-
priations, the expenses Of the Legisla-
ture itself was $6,627 SO more than the
cost OF the Democratic Legislature OF
1898.
And then the indicate part of the
whole thing was the fact that members
Of the Legislature made places for
themselves and members of their own
families.
One most senseless and unprecedented
act was the appointment Of commit
tee to look into the alleged grievances
of Mrs. Pattie d. B. Arlington, who
claimed that she had been treated bad
" by the courts and lawyers. A COM
mittee of three was appointed to invest
igate the case with power to go any
where IN the State they pleased, sum-
mon witnesses at the States expense,
they (the cOmmlttee) to receive 81 q
day with a clerk at about the same
waoas and tho state IN nav oil tboir
"a
i'''
SO III matters of extravaganza the
Fusion Legislature of 1895 had not
the history OF the state.

SILVER DEMOCRATS.
Is the President Qualified to SPEAK
for the Party IA Criticism.

Washington, April 24.--The Evening
Star of this city is one of the staunches
of the supporters of the gold cause, bu,
it is reliable newspaper. Hence the fol
lowing diagnosis of the condition oil
affairs in the presidents official household
is of interest:
The free coinage men are ready fo,
action. The president, they declare, does
not state the case too strongly for them
They will meet him on the line of his own
choosing and are even threatening to
force the lightning on that line. Reply
ing to the Interpretation put upon his
letter, which makes it prescribe the ma
ture and test of Democracy on the money
question, they point to the unrepresenta
tive character of the members of the
presidents official family as it relates to
the people from whom they come. Judge
Gresham is classed as an Illinois man,
and the Democracy of his state is 30
much in favor of silver that convention
has been called to give the feeling early
formal expression.
Mr.. Carlisle turns his eyes toward "tbs
old Kentucky home" and sees the silver
ties mastering in overpower,ng numbers
under the leadership Of Senator Black
burn. The Democratic state convention,
it is asserted, will undoubtedly adopt a
free silver platform.
Mr.. Herbert is powerless in Alabama,
as opposed to Senators Morgan and
Pugh, both of whom are aggressively for
free coinage.
Georgia threatens MIR. Smith with 5O,-
900 majority for free coinage at the first
opportunity.
Mr.. Morton, by giving out letter re-
celved from a personal friend on the
subject, comedies Nebraska to the silver
cause by $4,000.
The new postmaster general halls from
state where the Democracy has always
stood by tho white metal, and as for NJ.
Olney, the free silver men refuse to con-
slider him in the ques tion. Massachusetts,
is not, and can not be made, factor in
any Democratic calculation On national
issues.
80, that, according to the summary,
and as the silver men declare, not only is
the president not in line himself with his
party on the money question, but he is
supported at the council table by men
who, at his instance, or for other reasons,
have abandoned their right to speak for
the people from whom they were selected.
In such circumstances what right, the
silver men ask, has the president to un-
dertake to define Democracy, or to speak
for it in any national sense?

Des Moines, Iowa, April 94.-The Dee

time it advises families to eat fresh and

thus help to decrease the combines de-
mand for their dressed beef, pork and
mutton. It adds: "Is all people of the
United States will reduce their purchases
from butchers one-half for four weeks
the combine will be compelled to restore
last winters prices for meats, for the as
serted shortage In the cattle supply
would thus be more than made good. Do

Great Britain Preparing to Invade
Nicaragua and Blockade Her
P0rts-SpaIn will Make Rep
arattOn-NatlOnai Notes.

Washington, April 24.-Reports from
Nicaragua confirm the statement that
the blockade of Nicaraguan ports will be
Great Britain's means of executing her
demands. The understanding is that the
blockade will begin on next Saturday.
There is good reason to believe that the
demands will not be altered, reduced or
compromised in the slightest manner.
One of the main purposes of Great Britain
is to administer a lesson to Nicaragua
and indirectly to all southern republics
as to British methods of redress.
INVASION OF MONROE DOCTRINE.
The limit of time allowed Nicaragua to
yield expires tomorrow and the blockade,
etc, is to begin Immediately afterwards.
There is good reason to believe that
Nicaragua is not likely to yield, but will
allow British troops to occupy Corinto
in order that conspicuous attention may
be drawn to what is regarded by Nicar-
aqua as an invasion of the Monroe doc
trine.
MERELY HIS PERSONAL OPINION.
Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, said to-
day that it was true that he had written
to Eugene Debs, expressing the opinion
that the United States supreme court
would reverse the action of Judge Woods
and grant Debs and his associates writ
of habeas corpus, but this was merely
his personal opinion.
SPAIN WILL DO THE FAIR THING.
Secretary Gresham has received dis
patch from Harris Taylor, United States
minister at Madrid, assuring him that
Spain would accede to the demands of
the United States in the Alliancia affair,
and Captain Vendito would. be put on
trial for firing at an American vessel out
side the zone.
BELLIGERENT GREAT BRITAIN.
Exact official information has been re-
ceived as to Great Britain's belligerent
steps in Nicaragua. British troops are
to be landed at Corinto. The custom
houses are to be occupied and British
officers will exercise the functions of col
lectors of customs. At the same time
Nicaraguan local commerce is to be Grip
Piled by blockade.
