eminent of any territory, together
with the District of Columbia and
Alaska, should be bona tide resi-
dents OF the territory or district III
wli;ch their duties are to be per.
formed.
The democratic party believes
in home rule and that all public
lands of the United States should
be appropriated to the establish
ment Of flee homes for American
citizens.
We recommend that Alaska he
granted a delegate in Congress,
and that the general land and
timber laws he extended to said
territory.
The Monroe doctrine as Oliyi.
nally declared and as interpreted
by succeeding Presidents. is Il per-
manent part Of tue foreign policy
of the United States and must at
all times be maintained.
We extend our sympathy to the
people of Cuba in their heroic
struggle for liberty aud independ.
ence.
We are opposed to life tenure in
the public service.
We favor appointment based
upon merit, fixing terms Of office,
and such an administration Of the
civil service laws as will afford
equal opportunities to all citizens
OF ascertained fitness.
We declare tito he the unwritten
law Of this republic, established by
custom and usage of 100 years,
sanctioned 10y the examples of the
greatest and wisest of those who
founded and have maintained our
government, that 10 man should
be eligible for a third term for the
presidential Office.
The federal government should
care for and improve the Mississ
ippi river and other great water
ways Of the republic, so us to Sc
cure for the interior states easy
cheap transportation to tide water.
When any waterway Of the repub-
lie is of sufficient Importance to de-
mand aid from the government,
such aid Should he extended upon

secured.
Confding in the justice Of our
cause and the necessity of it's
success at the polls, we submit the
foregoing declaration Of principles
and purposes to the considerate
Judgment of the American people.
We invite the support of all citi-
zens who approve them and who
desire to have them made effective
through legislation for the relief
of the people and the restoration
of the country's prosperity.

Recognizing that the money

trouble on earth that keeps you so ever.
lastii:gly struggling against being crushed
into utter despair. Anything that cures
dyspepsia lifts about half the weight Of
misery that crushes mankind, - and wo-
mankind.
The trouble with most of the. so called
dyspepsia cures, is that they don't cure.
They give only temporary relief. Indiges-
&. n, usually extends all through the diges-
tive tract, from the stomach clear down to
the large intestine the liver too is frequent
ly involved in the trouble being torpid and
inactive. For a thorough, radical, per-
niauent cure you must have the whole di-
gestive organism set right-Not violently
stirred up but regulated. Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets will do it, They stituu-
late the digestive juices of the stomach !;
invigorate the liver and help it to actively
secrete the bile and act gently on the
bowels to promote regular healthy move
rnent. This means complete and last
ing cure of digestive troubles.
The "Pe;lets f" are not a severe cathartic
They act On the bowels naturally and com.
fortabiy though surely. The dose can be
regulated 10 your needs, and when the
Pellets have done their work they can
be discontinued. You don't become
slave to their Use, as with other pills. If
the druggist suggest some gripping pill that
gives him more profit think setat z0iN

How a Clever English Woman Swindled
 Well-to-Jo Bachelors.
 / The cleverest marriage swindle of modern times was perhaps Miss Evelyn Leal, really rguished-looking Eng lishwomac. She has been married and give1. in marriage at least 20 times dur ing the last three years. while she has been afliancod as many times more dur ing the saE.c period, and in every case has succeeded in obtaining handsome presents of jewelry, which she has i'm mediately sold for what they would fetch. Her system, says Lippincott's, was to write to sorcc rich Lachelor mer- chant in the provinces, offering to in- troduce him to the widow of an English noblcmaI with a view to matrimony.
 Strange as it may seem. many of the provincial merchants took the bait, went to Paris, were introduced to the "widow of the English nobleman," all lowed to escort her to the theater, make her presents of flowers the first day, gloves the second, while on the third, if the ardent would-be husband had not suggested it, she would quietly choose wedding ring, with handsome keeper, accompanied by a dianond necklace, brooch, and earrings, all these to con- stitute her wedding present. Then she would disappear with her jewels, change her clothes and name, and start the same game with another victim the following day. She would sometimes have two proposals of marriage on hand at the same time; she always calculated upon the frailty of human nature and the great dislike the victims would have to being politically exposed to ridicule for having so simply been taken in with the promises of the fair Englishwoman Now she is being boarded and clothed at the expense of the French state, which, upon the recommendation of the aus tere magistrate, has engaged to take en- tire charge of her for the next IS months.
