NO Constructive WILL DIE
So Long as He Can Digest and Assmi-
late Food.

All physicians admit this. Yet here
the difficulty begins. How can we
bulld up the consumptive's body as fast
as the disease tears it down? Lei us
consider.
Cough mixtures must. be avoided be-
cause they frequently contain opiates
which arrest digestion. Their only eff
feet on the cough rs by Supplying the
nerves Let Them alone.
All foods that are hard to digest must
be avoided especially fats and oils.
only those FOODS That are easily digest
cd ana assimlIated should be eaten.

CHICAGO WILL LEAD THE WAY.


No man is wise enough to see the end
of the present struggle, or to prophe-
sy with any spirit of diyination. A
mong honest silver men there is a
cropping for the true path, yearning
for a common ground upon which to
stand, an anxiety to have a clear cut
issue of free coinage VS.. the gold stand
ard. How to mass the silver forces is
the problem that must be solved il the
silver men are able to utilize the tidal
wave for silver that has swept away
strong gold barriers, and won its way
from Oregon to Georgia.
Some men are busy trying to arrange
union of forces along this line or
that, or trying to prevent concert of
action unless they are permitted to ar
range the line of action.It is waste of
time. The people are not to be car
ried about in any mans pocket or
driven by any political leader this
year. They are terribly in earnest.
They viii sweep away all selfish am
billions and narrow prejudices that
stand in the way of the accomplish
ment of the end they have in view.
The nomination by the Chicago con-
vention of silver men will be the signal
for union. The ticket named there
will sweep the South and West, not
only because it is Democratic, but be-
cause the silver men in other parties
will see that it is wisest to throw their
strength to the greatest party rather
than divide and invoke disaster. Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Dubois
and Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Bland and Mr..
Jones, will all be found shoulder to
shoulder fighting the gold party before
November.

THE PoPULIsps REPUDIATED.

The New York Tribune is the chief
organ of the Republican party. 1t has
no use for Populists. In an editorial
in Saturdays issue, writing of the con
tests before the National Republican
convention, this contempt was express
ed in these words:
I'm the Southern States, where
Republicans have not numerical
or moral strength to run any ticket
whatever, they have but the scanti-
est possible pretext for quarrelling

THE WAKE FOREST PICNIC.

To the Editor: On Friday, June

terrain church of this city pic-nieed at
Wake Forest. Last year we went to
Occoneechee, Col. j. S. Cars magni-
nifieent farm, and were royalty treat

WEST VIRGINIA FOR SILVER.

A special to the Baltimore Sun from
Charleston, w. Va, states that every
county convention held has declared
for the free coinage of silver. and
the Populists will generally endorse
the Democratic tickets after they have
nominated silver men. The gold men
hoped to carry three ont OF the twelve
delegates to the National convention,
but it appears now that the silver men
will carry them all. In one county
Republicans participated, and will vote
with the Democrats if their party pro
nounces for gold.
The tide everywhere surns to silver

RUSSELL'S PEN PORTRAIT.

The Democratic convention of New
Hanover county, after passing resolu-
tions in favor of free coinage, drew for
the State pen portrait OF Daniel l.,
Russell, the Republican candidate for
Governor, and put in words that ought
to have great weight their opinion of
what would be the result it their
townsman should be elevated to that
position:
THAT we declare to the people
of this State that we believe that
the act of the Republican conven-
ton in nominating ID. l.. Russell
for Governor is attended with SO
many threatened evils that all
questions should be subserVient to
one purposes and end, TO wit: that
of his delta. Living in our midst
and exercising an almost deSpotic
power over white and colored men
alike of his party and having
therefore many opportunities to
exert a benefcent influence in this
community, his influence has been
eNerted to retard rather than adj
vance the progress Of our people,
This is a true picture of the man.
Born in affluence and wealth and adj
mittedly one of the richest men of his
section, ''bis influence has been exerted
to retard rather than advance the pro-
gress of our people" Did any reader
ever hear Russell's name associated
with any cause that looked TO the
betterment Of the people of his State ?
