forest. James Reuben, the oldest living
Senaca Indian attributes his long life to
the use of this wonderful medicine, and
is enthusiastic in its praise.
This wonderful remedy rectifes all dis
orders of the great vital organs, but above
all purifes the blood and enables it to
perform its natural function, imparting life
and vigor to all parts of the system.
Let man have perfect digestion and pure
blood, and there is a continual restoration of
waste tissue taking place in the body. With
out this there ia decline. If you feel that
you have not your ordinary strength, you
do not sleep as you should, your appetite is
fitful, you are nervous, have dizzy spells and
seem generally rundown, you should not
hesitate minute, for this is the beginning Of
some serious decline. While you still have
strength and life take Kickapoo Indian
Sagwa. A change for the better will be
experienced with the first bottle, and q
speedy return to health will be the result in
every instance. Follow the Indian example,
and share with him long life and health.
This famous remedy is now sold by all
druggists, 81 bottle, six bottles for So. r.

We fine around us everywhere men who
are young in years, but who in body are
actually old and decrepit. This premature
Old age is becoming more common every
year. Thousands are continually dying who
are scarcely 80 years of age, from q complete
worn out state Of their systems, just as
literally of old age as though they had lived
to be 100, and the cause of this is due to
general demoralized condition of the great
vital organs of the body = the stomach, the
liver, the kidneys and the blood; let any of
these become impaired and the blood instead
of flowing through the body and carrying
nourishment to all its parts, becomes filed
with poisonous secretions which generate and
multiply continually, ceasng to build up
new flesh tissue, SO that a gradual wasting
and decay takes place until the day comes
when complete collapse is experienced and
speedy death ensues.
The Indian il noted for bis longevity, due
to the fact that he takes no medicine that
contains poisonous ingredients, but depends
upon his famous Kickapoo Indian Sagwa
entirely, which is purely vegetable, made
from roots, barks, gums and herbs of the

The Lewiston Sun objects to the Lewis
ton Board of Trade giving banquet in
honor of Senator Frye and Congressman
Dingley, because they are Republicans
and the Board of Trade is non partisan
body. AS about all the distinguished
people in the state are either Republicans
or Democrats, and as the SUMS objection
could be urged quits as logically against
the latter as theformer, we don't see but
the Lewiston Board of Trade will have
to confine their honorary banquets enti-e.

In their decision overturning the vet
Grams preference act on the ground of
unconstitutionality, the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts says:
Public Offices are creatad for the pur-
pose of effecting the ends for which gov
eminent has been instituted, which arc
the common good, and not the profit,
honor of private interest of any one
man, family, or class of men.
I'm our form of government it is fun
damenJal that public offices are public
trust, and that the persons to be APP
pointed should be selected solely with a
view to the public welfare.
In offices which are created by the leg
islature, where the method OF appoint
ment is not prescribed by the oanstitu-
ton, the legislature can take upon itself
the. responsibility of selecting the person
to be appointed, or can confer the power
or appointment upon public officers or
boards, or upon the Inhabitants of cities,
towns or districts, but we think tnat it
Is inconsistent with the nature of the
government, and particularly with Art
. and of the declaration of rights, that
the appointing power should be COM
PEELED by Liquidation to appoint to GER
tain public Offices persons of certain
class in preference to all others and
without the exercise on its part of any
discretion, and without the favorable
Judgment Of some legally constituted
officers or board designated by law to
inqu ire and determine if the persons to
be appointed are actually qualified to
perform the duties which pertain to the
officers
The objection urged by tho court is 80
obvious that it is not creditable to the
intelligence OF the Massach usetts legis-
lature that it did not zee it, or seeing it,
that it did not act upon 1t. 1t was one of
those cases, however, where votes were
in one scale and sound principles in the
other and, as is apt to be the case, the
former weighed more with the legislators
than the latter. To the credit of the
late Governor Greenhalge, be it said, he
saw the incongruity Of the preference
which the act established and had the
courage to interpose his veto.

Gen. Grosvenor, McKinley's principal
representative in Congress, has given out
this statement:
An attempt has been made by the enc
| mics of Mckinley and no one else to
force from him some supplemental de-
| ciaration that will be equivalent to say
ing that he is opposed to all money ex-
cept gold. The object of all this is ap-
parent. All the delegates of the East
| have been cleo It'd, except those of YER
mont, and We know exactly how thu y will
stanu. But there are two hundred dele
gates to be elected in the West hereafter
ana these delegates are to be elected In
states favoring the largest possible use
OF silver consistent with Republican
principles.
Now these people who want gold
declaration from Mckinley simply want
chaos to reign among the two hundred
delegates yet to bs elected. Their scheme
has failed. No special interest in Wall
! street in money shall be permitted in
advance to dictate the policy OF the Re-
publican party.
This is practically equivalent to an ad-
mission that the Ohio straddle was DELHI
erately planned to catch the free silver
vote of the West, that the
Ohio plank was purposely ambigu-
GUS so that the believers in a gold
standard and in a silver standard
could construe 1t as favorable to their
policies. We are inclined to think that
Gen. Grosvenor will find that this adj
mission will hurt his candidate with
both factions. and that he will regret
later that he opened his mouth at all.
The Portland daily press., 1896-04-27

According to the St. Paul Pioneer
Press, the reason that Mckinley is in the
van of the Presidential candidates is
because he is identified with that his
torioal American policy.sw is dear to
the hearts OF the American people," The
policy referred to is undoubtedly that of
protection. 1t is a curious fact, however.
