A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is COMPOUNDED by many
persons with severe attack of ca
tarrh, which in some respects resem-
bles the former. These individuals
suffer severely with pain about the
eyes and ears, with soreness
in throat and stoppage of the nasal
passages, and in fact, are incapacitated
for work of any kind for days at a
timer These are catarrhal sufferers
Ely's Cream Balm has been used with
the best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief.

of democratic principles:
The democratic party consists of a
majority of the American people who

patronage, but desire honest admins
tration and good government every
where; who favor State rights; who be-
lieve in legislation to subserve the
greatest good for the greatest number
and not to advance the interest of a
few at the expense of the many; who
do not believe in governmental part
nership with private interests, but he
lieve in public taxation for public pur
poses only. and are opposed to the
raising of any more revenues or the
imposition of any more taxns than are
actually needed for the legitimate pnr
poses of the nation; who favor equal
taxation; who desire the greatest liber-
ty for the individual citizen consistent
with the public welfare; who are op-
posed to all unjust sumptuary laws
which needlessly interfere with the
habits and Gus ON of the people; who
are opposed to f. deral election laws
and force bills. to plutocracy and to
class distinctions and to paternal
government; who are in favor of money
of intrinsic value, the money of our
fathers, the cuin-h money of the con-
stitntlon; who desire to have legis a.

How NEGROES MAY IMPROVE THEIR
CONDITION.-The following statement
of the means by which the negroes
may improve their condition was made
by one of their race in meeting at
Washington =
First. By greater industry and
thrift, less extravaganza, and a more
determined cultivation of the saving
spirit.
Second. By seeking and obtaining
permanent employment that lasts
through the whole year.
Third. When we get employment
make ourselves so useful and necessary
that our employer will want to retain
us.
Fourth. By arousing and encour-
aging desire for mechanical and bust
ness pursuits. entering every avenue
of employment, and winning success
by the display of reliability, honesty
and skill.
Fifth. By encouraging and assist
ing one another in business with our
patronage and support. all things be
ing equal, recommending one another
when we are justified in so doing.
Sixth, and this sums up the whole,
By using our industrial resources aud
opportunities in the most effective
manner to advance the race average
OF we tlth aud Industrial importance.

HE CAN REALLY SEE NOW.
Another Strange Miracle Performed by the
New Messiah.

Denver, Colo. Nov. 1.-TWO very strik
ing instances of the faith and subse-
quent relief received from Francis
SchIatter are those of Mr.. J. James of
Alvarado. Johnson county, Texas, and
Mrs. Mack Pryor. the wife Of well
known resident of Pueblo. Mr.. James
is chairman of the Free Silver Demo-
cratic club of his locality and has been
a sufferer of acute granulation of the
eyes for nearly thirty years, binding
him to the extent that he has been I'M
able to read print without the aid of
strong glasses and even then the pain
was so intense that he was forced to de-
eist for DAYS. He first read of the
wonderful doings of the healer in the
Dallas News in a communication over
the signature of Travelling Passenger
Agent Hirshfield of the Forth Worth
road. Mr.. James addresses the writer
inquiring for accurate information
which was responded to in person,
Hirshfield riding six miles into the
country from Alvarado where James
ranch is situated. The visitor per
suaded James to accompany him and
furnished him with transportation to
Denver. He reached this city last
wednesday and has received five treat
anents from Mr.. Schlatter, and yester-
day held the News some distance from
his eyes and read the items with ease.
that he has marvelously improved and
knowing that he may devote much of
his time to the political matters OF his
county. He says that the state is over
whelmingly in favor of the free coinage
of silver and that party will make sur
prising in9oads in the camps of the
goldites this election.
The otter case is but a REPETITION Of the
many similar results of the healer's
treatment. Mrs. Pryor has suffered
untold agonies by reason of muscular
rheuma tism, which, at different periods
has rendered her as helpless as a child.
-Four or five years ago she was ro-
butts and energetic woman. The dread
malady has played havoc with her
frame so that now she presents the ap-
peGrance of nervous emaciation. On
Saturday last her husband brought her
to the residence of Mr.. George Water
bury, in this city. where she was visit
ed by Mr.. Schlatter. and after one treat
ment the overjoyed woman raised her
arms above her head for the first time
in three years. while the tears dropped
down her cheeks. Since then she has
rested without pain for two nights and
goes home avowing her belief in her re-
