The Reno Gazette" is satisfied that
the State of Nevada is on the I'D grade.
It says that while 1t is well to keep up
the silver agitation. 1t should not eclipse
the other and equally as important in
terests of Nevada This is wise ad-
vice. The exertion OF all energy IN one
direction is often an evidence of weak
ness in a man, and just as much so in
q community.
Coxey is quoted by an Ohio exchange
as saying: 'T have decided that the
election of a Populist President must
be postponed for four years" We had
not given Coxey credit for that much
Of wisdom. But Just think of It, what
might be had Coxey decided" other
wise.
The Winnemucca "Silver State" in
clines strongly to the belief that the
Populist and the Democratic parties can
and may fuse this year, and it excuses
the possibility In these words, among
many others:
It Is only the politician and expectant
pap-sucker that prefers defeat under
his own party banner to victory under
some other. The general voter does not
care. What difference does It make to
the farmer who is about to lose his home
because Of the general depression in
prices, whether the prices of his lands
and products are raised by the Re-
publican, Democratic or Silver party?

lively to the discourse so ably
delivered by Rev. 7. G. Wood,
pastor. Later they were corr
daily invited to the quiet abode
of some of their near friends for
dinner. Early in the afternoon
they resumed their duty Of row
ing back to the city which was
performed in one and halfhour.
They report an excellent tip.

Is a sign of health, and created by Nature.
There are different ways of Initiating fine

look silly and prematurely old; stifnulants
which only give temporary flush danger
Gus drugs which drive pimply disorders
from the face back into the blood. All
these counterfeit" complexions are un-
safe and easily detected. But the genuine,
unmistakcable, much admired color and
ciearness of health can only be obtained
by clearing all bilious matters and humors
out of the blood.
The first step towards creating a good
complexion by Natures own method is to
get the blood clear, and the circulation free
and active. There is no complexion so sal
low, muddy or pimply but it will be cleared
and frightened by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is the best natural
complexion maker on earth II sends the
fresh glow of real health to the cheeks by
thoroughly clearing all bilious and eruptive
humors out of the blood. 1t strengthens
the digestion and regulates the bowels in
mild, natural way. It.gives brighter color
to the blood. and not only beauties the
complexion but makes the eyes brighter
and the breath swceter.
If the bowels be very much constipated,
1t will be advisable to take small doses of
