Now, as when warmer weather comes and
the tonic effect of cold bracing air is
gone, your weak, thin, impure blood
will not furnish necessary strength.
That tired feeling, loss of appetite, will
open the way for serious disease, ruined
health, or breaking out of humors and

COILS P. HUNTINGTON, the Pacific
railway millionaire, is 70 years old, but
very rugged and vigorous. He is a
man of ponderous physique. His back
and shoulders are broad enough for
two ordinary men and his head is large
in proportion. The fringe of hair about
his head is white, and silk cap hides
the badness at the top. Mr.. Hunting

half century he has been interested

Mr.. Bryan in his speeches talks of
gold and silver, the money of the
Constitution, and we observe that
his Popocratic followers have painted
the same words on their banners and
flags Thus ignorance begets ignor-
ance and spreads it abroad.
The Constitution does not require
that money shall be made Of gold or
silver, nor Of copper or nickel The
only mention of gold or silver therein
is the prohibitive clause by which the
power is denied to the States of max
ing anything else than gold and silver
legal tender. The Constitution gives
to Congress power ito coin money,
regulate the value thereof, and of for
eign coins, and there it stops. The
| makers of the Constitution were SEN
sible of the fact that the power to con
troll the market price of gold or silver,
or of copper or corn, or of anything
else, was, as Jefferson put it, "a mer-
camille problem" 1t was reserved foI
the Populists to discover the error OF

Mr.. JESSE Root GRANT has felt
called upon to explain his conduct in
joining the POpulists; and the result
is a tumble of explanations which do
not hang together. First he says he
is "a firm believer in free silver; then
he admits that he owns silver mines
but he is sure that this fact has not
influenced his conviction; and next he
guesses that he got it, las if it were
an ailment) from his father. Incl
dentally he drops the remark-which
is, perhaps, the.bes explanation in
the bunch-that he expects to be
active in politics, and has aspirations
for seat in the United States Senate.
Jesse Root is evidently roofing for
the spoils of Office; but he shouldn't
blame his divagation on his father.

Main e Settles it.

The exact proportions OF the sound
money victory in Maine cannot be def
initely known for several days-it will
take that long to measure it-but de-
tails sink into insignificance beside the
magnificent fact that the victory has
been even more sweeping than the
most sanguine friends of the cause had
anticipated. The Popocrats had put
forth herculean efforts in the State,
the home of their Vice Presidential
candidate and the last of the Com
mOnwealths to speak before Novem-
Der. But the gold Democrats and the
Republicans, standing shoulder to
shoulder, presented a united front,
and they have beaten back the forces
of reputation and anarchy with a
tremendous blow.
In vain will the discounted organs
of POpOcracy attempt to obscure and
belittle the meaning of this verdict.
On Saturday last Chairman Hughes,
of the Maine Popocratic State Com
mittee, made this declaration;
The battle has not been between the
| two old parties, but between the sill
yer men on one side, and the gold men
on the other. No comparison cam Be
! made with the former votes, for the
issue is wholly new.
Chairman Hughes stated the situa-
ton correctly. 1t was a square onset
and the crash has left free coinage
hors de combat and virtually reduced
it to the status of lost cause Maine
has flung wet blanket upon the al
ready limp and bedraggled Bryan
canvass; and her clear, ringing voice
which practically predetermines the
issue of the larger battle in Novem-
Der, will send dismay through the

THERE is, of course, a great differ

Mr.. Bryan's Letter of Acceptance.

From 1.-The greatest effort of his life'
in Madison Square Garden there APP
pears to have been q gradual decline
in the powers of the Popocratic can
didate as he journeyed back to his
home in the West. No better proof
of this exhaustion could be found
than in his formal letter of accept
ance. In such paper it was to be
expected that he would calmly, dis
passionately and logically present the
grounds upon which he askes the suf-
frages of the American people for the
high office of President of the United
States. But how has he performed
this great task?
The only part of the letter which
ventures upon discussion of the is
sue before the country is an attack
upon Cleveland's Administration for
issuing bonds in order to fill the de-
pleted gold redemption fund. Adopt
ing the spirit of the Chicago platform,
Mr.. Bryan says that IAN increase in
the bonded indebtedness of the United
States gt this time is wholly without
excuse" Instead of issuing bonds to
obtain gold, he tells the country that
the Federal Administration should
have exercised 1.-The legal right of
paying its debts in either gold or sill
yer. But the Popocratic candidate
knows that the Government is under
legal as well as a moral obligation
to maintain the parity of all its cur
rency with gold as expressed in the
law of Congress. He knows full well
that the exercise of the legal right
to pay silver would have been flag
rant violation of the legal and moral
obligation of the Administration to-
ward the public creditors. This obi
cation has been faithfully observed
by every Secretary of the Treasury

Smart as Ever.

Maine is lean and little, but loud.
She seems to be in favor of an honest
dollar by sixteen to one. The Yankee
farmer is too smart to vote against
his own interests. Financial fakirs
cannot fool the longheaded sons OF
the Pilgrims. They have had the
reputation in the past of driving
sharp bargains, but they are evident
ly not going to allow any shoddy
money to be passed on them.-Balti-

Mr.. Bryan said: when you raise the
price of gold in a gold standard coun-
try you lower the prices of all the
products which are measured by
money" He therefore proposes to
raise the prices of all products by
lowering the standard of money. He
would thus cut down the purchasing
power of the soldiers pension one-half
according to his own doctrine; and
this he calls justice to the nation
defenders.

THE voice of Maine Monday in the
election held in that state means
much to the Republican party. In
1892 the Republicans carried this
State by a majority of only about
10000. Mondays election, when the
state gave a Republican majority of
over sixty thousand, tends to show
that the cause of free silver in the
north and east at least will have but
little support when the November
election is held.

RETURNS from Arkansas are just
about all in, and it is probable that
Chairman j. X. Jones is not as full of
boasting as he was at first. They
show that while the free silver vote
has increased by 10 per cent. since
the election of 1894, the Republican
vote has likewise increased, but its
rate is 40 per cent This is in the
counties that have been 50 far heard
from. If this ratio Of increase is CON
tinued in the few counties that are
yet to be heard from, the majority
for the Bryanites will be decreased
TO less than 10000, instead of the Co.
600 that had been given out as the
correct figure. Another significant
fact is that the Populists will have
an increase of five members in the
next Legislature.

The letter of acceptance of Mr.. Ho-
bart is a most powerful production.
In describing the inevitable effect of
free coinage of silver at the arbitrary
ratio of IS to 1, Mr.. Hobart brings up
the single matter of building associa-
tions, and declares the proposition a
war upon American home-makers. -
There are no fewer than 100000
shareholders in such associations, ag-
gregating assets amounting to more
than five hundred millions.
Over a million of homes in the Uni
ted States are, according to Mr. Ho-
