Democratic Northwest.
AND HENRY COUNTY NEWS.
Two Silver Champions.

Doubtless many ofour readers, who
appreciate the Importance Of the
restoration of the bimetallic stand
ard, would like to subscribe for and
support farm paper which, while
unsurpassedi in its agricultural, house
hold and other departments, at the
same time has been the leading ex-
ponent of the bimetallic principles OF
finance. With a view to supplying
this want, we have made a liberal
clubbing arrangement with the Farm,
Field and Fireside OF Chicago. For
many years this great paper has been
pointing out to the farmers that low
prices were the result of contrac-
tion OF standard money to the gold
basis and urging them as q patrotlc
duty of self defense to vote for the
restoration OF silver.
So effective has been its work,
especially during the late campaign,
that Chairman Jones acknowledged to
VIM. j. Bryan that it had done more
towards the restoration Of bimetal-
lism than any other single agency.
AS will be seen by our combination
offer on another page, we can give
this paper in combination with the
NORTHWEST, both one year for the
low price of $1.65.
This offer also includes twenty
packets of the best seeds in the mark
ct from the Farm, Field and Fireside's
free seed distribution, where 10 cents
extra is paid for postage and packing.
The Farm. Field and Fireside and
the NORTHWEST are two papers
which Mark Hanna's Doodle could
not influence in the late campaign.

The ponderous jaw of Tim Plckem

Harry telegraphed for officers. His
practiccd ear soon read the answer.
Looking at his watch, he turned to
the prisoners and said

When the stomach and bowels are wrong
what seems a mere trifie, blocks the
whole system. Every part of the body
feels the effects Of little constipation.
The head aches, the mouth tastes bad;
the stomach is distressed, the liver is con-
gested and torpid; you feel sluggish and
miserable and down-hearted; the energies
ere completely paralyzed--all for want of
q little help to regulate the stomach and
bowels. What you want is DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They will make you
regular and you keep so; they act in a
comfortable natural way, not violently but
surely. They give the intestines power
to move naturally; and also tone the
stomach and liver. You don't become a
slave to their use, they cure you so you
stay cured. If a druggist makes more
money on some violent purging pill he
may try to sell it to You. Don't let him.

AN election carried on fraud can

ttConfdence thus far has failed to
supply the deficiency IN our money
market. Confidence is evidently a
good thing to have, but it will not
pay bills. That requires cold cash,

WHAT mattereth who is president
if there is no change of policies2
Presidents do not make times good or
bad; but laws do, Laws and policies
must change before times can change.
We must have more money, and a

times with plently Of money, nor
good times with scarce money. This
is common sense, and is the fact.

OF state Mr.. Uhl has frequently been
called upon to assume the entire bur-
den of the administration of foreign
affairs during the absence or disability
of the secretary, and his name often

rotary Gresham he was acting secre-
tary of state for some weeks. and was
brought forward for appointment to

Mr.. Uhls functions have been gener-
ally confined to the administration OF
the affairs of the consular service

Federico 0chando, Miguel Melquiso,

Alfonso KILL At II o'clock the cap
tain general came ashore and was re-
ceived by General Marin and staff. The
streets were packed with people who
displayed the greatest enthusiasm. A
German warship. which was here, sa-
luted the arrival of General Weyler, as
did all the Spanish warships in port
and the forts ashore.
Accompanying General Weylsr
were Captains Gelaber and Linares,
who are known as military actors. +"
They will most likely have charge Of
the press censorship here. and Il Is
already rumored that there Is to be
considerable more difficulty expert
enced in this connection by cores

not meant that General Weyler IN
tends to interfere with the proper lib

a tire Of war. 1t really means only
that he will do everything possible 10
prevent the sending out from here of
news which is undoubtedly erroneous.

then figure out the situation as il act

been appointed captain general of
Porto Rico, is expected TO leave for his

Fair Julia In the land TO meet

lie.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE st. Mich
olas skating rink will be opened this
week, and until April and perhaps UNI
til May the aristocracy will be seen on
skates The richest men in the 400
stand beside this venture. The rink
itself has been built by stock COM
pany formed almost entirely from
members of the old ST. Nicholas Skat-
ing club, which flourished for two or
three years and from which the pres
ent organization is an outgrowth. The
club membership is not only full, but
there is long waiting list of appli-
cants. The new rink occupies most
desirable situation in West Sixty-sixth
street 1t has cost in the neighborhood
of 100000, exclusive of the land 1t
stands upon and the machinery for
making ice and electricity. The build
ing is 225 by 100 feet, and its iced sur
face, only 25 feet shorter, is larger
than any other artificial rink in the
country, if not abroad. There is not a
single pillar or post to break the area
of the ice, for the high roof is support
ed upon steel trusses arched from wall
to wall. 1t is 20 feet above the level of
the ice, too.
Among the stockholders and mem
bers of the st. Nicholas club are some
of the best known men in social as
well as in business circles. A few Of

she performed the abortion at the re-

Significant Inquiries Instituted by the
Premier In South
America.

London, Feb, 1.-THE statement is
published that Premier Salisbury has
requested the authorities of British
Guinea to inquire into the number and
extent Of the districts occupied by
British subjects. This is thought to
point to the fact that Great Britain is
willing to arbitrate on condition that
she be allowed to retain the districts
occupied by British or that the latter
be compensated for loss in the event
of the territory passing to the posses
sion OF Venezuela.
