At last one Republican. although not
of national reputation, has been found
who favors bimetallism. That Repub-
iican is Gen. A. S. Badger, one of the
most prominent members of the party
10 this State. In an interview with a
reporter of the Times-Democrat last
Monday, Gen. Badger said:
International bimetalism is best !;
independent bimetalism in several
nations is the next thing. Bimetalism
in this country would encourage and
quicken the .bimetalic movement in
England and Germany, and even it it
did not do that, it is imperative to pre-
vent all the gold from being drained
from America. There isn't enough
gold in the world to stand as the mon
etary standard. and we have to come to
bimetalism. The movement is now
strong in England, and France has
bimetalism; With the United States,
England, Germany and France on a
double standard, the rest of the world
and France on a double standard, even
though not international, the English
and German bimetalists are encouraged.
But, leaving aside these other countries,
the present financial system of this
country makes it necessary for the
government to borrow gold and then
borrow more, and then go .on borrow
ing more until she can't borrow any
more. The gold standard can only
wreck this nations credit for the bene-
fit of the Rothschilds and others, while
Independent bimetalism in this country
would, of course, encourage other peo-
pie, and tend to effect the true condi-
ton of international bimetalism."

The delegation from st. Landry to
the ballot reform convention held at
New Orleans last Saturday withdrew
upon the adoption of the resolutions in
favor Of the suffrage amendment to the
Constitution, which requires an educa-
tional and prOperty-holding qualifca-
ton in the voter. The reason Of the
withdrawal was that hundreds of peo-
pie in st. Landry are unable to read
and without property to the value of
$500. The excuse may be good, but the
question naturally arises what were
these delegates sent to a ballot reform
convention for - How did they expect
to reform election matters? Surely in
enlightened age they would not at
to draw the color line to deprive
negroes from voting under any and all
circumstances, which would not only
be decidedly unjust bat demonstrations
al as well.-Baton Rouge Truth, July 81.

a Old Woman Has an ADparition That

Carson, New, Jan. "A peculiar story
is told of the causes which led to the
murder of Mrs. Eggleston, i'm Antelope
valley. Mono county. California. 1t
seems that Watkins, the murderer. is
a sort of shyster lawyer and notary pub
lie who viii do any kind of crooked
work for a fee. Mrs Eggleaton's prop
erty consisted of 100 acres Of land ana
her house. Her brother, Mr.. schooley.
believing an attempt was being made to
freeze her out, homesteaded ten acres
and the house in her name. The ranch
was finally sold at sheriff sale at the in
stigauon of Watkins. r. b. Hickey. it
is alleged bought it in for So Schooley at
torwsrd told Hickey that he could not
hold the ten acres referred to, as he had
a title to it. and that neither Watkins
nor the sheriff had the right to sell
Schooley also said that he had evidence
against Watkins, who had been mixed up
in some crooked work. which would send
him to the pententlaIY This threat
reached Watkins in some way. and as
Mrs. EgGles,ou WAS the only living wit
ness against him her death would natu-
rally be a great relief to him a week or
so before the murder, Mrs Eggleston
told several persons at different times
that she had a peculiar dream She
dreamed that as she was about to open
the oven door her kitchen one morn
ing Watkins popped out with knife in
his hand and stabbed her several times.
He had murderous look, and when she
awoke she said she Experienced an ex-
tremely strange feeling and did not seem
to be In her right mind. The parties to
whom she told this were deeply i'm
pressed. and asked if she was not afraid
to stay in the house alone, especially at
night She said she was old and harm
less, and guessed no one would interfere
with her When found dead a few days
later the dream Of the dead woman was
brought Viyidly back TO the minds of
those who had heard it, and Watkins was
Immediately suspected. Subsequent de-
velopment proved him to be the murderer.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over
work or strain on brain and body. The
course of treatment for such a condition
is plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified so that the nervous sys-
tenn, and i'm fact all the organs will be
fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people
without number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength imparting medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish when
Hood S Sarsaparilla is persistently taken
in word, health and happiness follow
after taking Hoods Sarsaparllla.
