TIE Accepts Defeat of Democrats In .
Philosophical Spirit.

WASHINGTON, Noy. 9.-"The results Of
the election of 1895 MIKE 1t almost certain
that the nomince OF tho next Republican
national convention will be elected prcsi-
dent" said Calvin S. Bricc. A reporter
asked him low The election would affect
our presidential politics, and Mr.. Brice
made answer rs quoted above. The sena-
tor continued:
IF tho next president Is not n Republi-
cnn, the last election has at least added
very much TO the interest that will be felt
IN the deliberations OF the Republican con-
vcntion. Who will be nominated. Well,
Mr.. Mckinley is a charming gentleman,
popular and probably rs magnetic as any
OF the candidates"
To the reporters suggestion that the
public would like to know tho senator's
explanation for the result In Ohio, Mr..
Bricc said: 'Ohio did just what the
other states did. The result In Ohio was
no a.4Sercnt from what it was in New
York, Maryland or Kentucky. The people
seem dissatisfied with the general policy
of the Democratic party, and no local ar
gument has any effect On the national I'M
pulse. General Foraker will be elected 10
succeed iao n senator, and what l shall do
does not concern the public
The reporter asked Mr.. Brice II Presi-
dent Clevcland's policy was TO blame for
the Democratic disaster. The senator
said: NO; l don't think Mr. Cleveland
is blamed personally for the tidal wave.
Still, he will have 10 bear his share of the
blame ms being part of the national or
ganization aud leadership of the Demo
cratic party"
"How about Gorman?" asked the re-
porter.
German. German Is all right. Quay
was twicc beaten wors? than German was
last Tuesday, and lie seems to be doing
pretty well. No,.Senator German is not
annihilated, and the man who thinks he
is Is very badly mistaken"

What Happens When They Get Gu

Most diseases are caused by poison in
the blood.
The poison should be kept out.
The kidneys are supposed to do this.
That Is what they are there for.
And they generally do. But when they
are sick they can't; and then we get sick.
The kidneys may get sick from over
work, worry, excess, high living, etc.
The reason so many OF our great men
die from Bright's disease 10 that SO many
overwork themselves.
Bright's disease is only one Of the
manyd diseases the root Of which lies In the
kidneyp.
Other folk suffer from diabetes, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, sleeplessness, an
aemia, rvousne headache, neuralgia
etc.
All these diseases would go il the poison
could be got out Of your blood. IL the
kidneys would only do their work. III
you would only take DIR. Hobbs Sparagus
Kidney Pills to make your kidneys d
their work.
1t is not your kidneys fault. :
You should be trying 10 help them:
You can do IL by taking DR.. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
1t is { NC an easy piece OF knowledge
to remember.
Your kidneys are simply filters. They
need looking to now and then like other
filters. IL they are kept clean and healthy
they will keep your blood clean and
healthy and you will be strong and
healthy.
Asparagus Is q healing and strengthen
ing ionic for the kidneys.
DIR. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills give
fresh life and powsr 10 the kidneys.
They cause the kidneys to purify the
blood TO make II rsdder and healthier
and more nourishing. They put new life
into you body new color into your blood
new mbition into your mind, new youth
into your joints and muscles.
They DC not work miracles.
But they cure diseases.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills nave
cured SO many people that they can be
safely relied on to cure you.
They will cure you not because they
have cured others but because they are
made from her bs which have never failed
to cure the kidneys when taken in the
proper doses.
They were prepared by q physician who
knows how to cure the kidneys.
A few doses will relieve. A few boxes
