TO combat this growing evil, Prof.
Edward r. Phelps. NJ. D., IL. D., OF
Dartmouth college, made nervous dis
eases his special study. The fruitful
outcome Of his long years of profess
siOnal investigation was Paine's celery
compound. Difficult nervous disorders
that had persisted despite long treat
, ment, at once yielded to it. Men and
women who had suffered for years from
broken and unrefreshing sleep, from
headaches, rheumatism and neuralgia. |
found that Paine's celery compound
not only speedily cured these troubles,
but that they worked better and felt
more encouraged than had been posi-
BILE to them for years.

remarkable remedy is doing all over

THEN AND NOW.

Great Changes that Have Occurred Since |
the Democrats Have Been in Power.
Washington Times.I
When President Cleveland took
up the sceptre to begin his second
period of dictatorship, the United
States was without foreign compli-
cations and in a reasonably prosper
Gus condition. The party that placed
the crown on his head was united,
vigorous, confident and largely in
the majority. Contrast the present
condition, both of the country and
of the Democratic party, and if pos
sible supply another reason than
that President Cleveland is respon-
sible FOR the lamentahle change that
has taken place.
Our policy of greenback redemp-
ton is due entirely to the Presidents
celebrated letter, at the beginning
of this administration, contradlctlng
a statement of Secretary Carlisle
that he would begin silver redemp-
ton as soon as the gold reserve was
exhausted. Had that policy been
pursued there would have been no
bond sales and debt, principal and
interest, of $497, 900, 900 would never
have been contracted. The gold
speculators could not have used our
Treasury as a raiding ground for
their personal gain. Nor would our
revenues have fallen below expendl'
lures because trade would have
frightened up under the hopeful
conditions promised by the new ad:
ministration, and customs would
l have increased in accordance with
D the greater demand for imported
products.
The argument that the United
}. States would have gone to q slve
3 basis had Secretary Carlisle bee1
}, permitted to carry out his polio
will never stand discussion. Cap
g talists would not have presente
Il greenbacks for redemption, becaus
= in doing so they would have brougn
, about q shrinkage in their own hole
II inps. and instead of specializing L
It government gold to settle balance
s. abroad, they would have used tn
'r gold to Sc had from any of the grea
70 banks of the country.
le Those who have carefully followe
the history of the downfall OF tn
q Democratic party know that it orll
is mated with the creation OF II
rs cuckoo contingent at the beginnin
rs of the administration. The distre
," of the masses caused by the hal
IN times has also lost the Democrat

STATE SENATOR LINDSAY WRITES.

And Declares That The Peoples Party VIII
Cooperate with Any Party on Distinc-
tive Principles.
MADISON, n. c., Jan. Is, 1896.
TO THE EDITOR:
The Peoples Party stands ready
to cooperate this year with either
the Republican or Democratic party
ON distinctive line of principles.
To the majority of protested poll
ticians the offices are all-principles
only when they bring office. Before
any plan is perfected, as a member
of the National Peoples Party COM
mittee, | wish to make overtures
thus publicly and above board to the
Democratic party Of this State, as |
have once before through Webster's
Weekly.
The basis of principles is such as
the party has at one time inculeated
and for that reason it is transition
quite easy. The principles are these:
|. The independent coinage of sill
yer on equal terms with gold.
,. The government shall not issue
paper for the banks and shall issue
its own money and every dollar shall
be equal in payment Of all debts
henceforward.
These are easy terms we propose
and in order to carry out these hith'
erto Democratic principles, we pro-
pose to set up an electoral ticke
pledged to vote for a man for Presl
dent who is publicly and generally
known to favor these principles.
Next, the Democrats take cholc
of the next office, either Senator o
Governor.
Then alternate down the line, tn
Democrats first choice through al
the State offices and Departments.
The Congressional districts the
shall come in such relation as mos
expedient, and shall be as nearl
equally divided Us practicable.
The Legislature and county tick
shall be discreetly divided so as
give each party fair showing.
These are the proposals we max
The proposal amounts to the castil

list candidate for President, for it

IL tie Democratic party takes
Senator we have the Governor, a
then the Democratic party takes

of course | know that all 81
work us two parties cooperating

knows what is being done except

political practice in making tn
overtures in public manner, br
do not think it wise to conceal tt
things from the voters when !.
make no sacrifice of principle. Th
could be several more items pla
in the State platform on which
are agreed, but we insist on these
which the National parties are
agreed. Again, we come holding

GOLD COIN CONTRACTS.

A Nebraska Judge Rules That They are
Illegal and Void.
OMAHA, Neb, April lS-The ques-
ton of the legality of what are known
as gold coin contracts" YVES raised for
the first time in this county yesterday.
1t came up in an action to collect pay
ment of $1,000 mortgage note. on
which a default in interest had oc-
Cured. Attorneys for the defense
raised the point in the district court
as to the effect of inserting in a note
or contract the words ito pay in gold
coin," or the words. ito pay in
gold coin or its equivalent" and
srgued that in either form the note
would Le illegal, being in violation
of the legal tender law and contrary
to public policy. 1t was further
argued by the defense that if not avoid.
ing the invalidating the note entirely,
the section requiring the payment in
gold was void. During the argument
the court said that it would not enforce
that part of the note contracting to pay
in gold; that il 1t came to question OF
holding that the note WAS payable in
gold or the contract was illegal and
void, the court would hold that it was
illegal and void.

A PASSION FOR ATHLETICS.
It Infected al Glasses moug the Ancient
Graels

Greeks.
How many such pilgrims there were
is, of course, difficult to estimate. The
seats of the stadium would have pro-
vided for some 40 900, and, though only
men were admitted, it was often diff
cult to fnd n place. 1t was natural
that SO large and varied an assem- blage
should have furnished some of the
features of a great fair or exposition.
Merchants found q ready sale for their
wares, and there were side-shows for
the amusement and instruction of the
people. Poets recited their latest pro-
ductions, historians read their chroni-
cles, and philosophers discoursed upon
nature and the unseer world. Such
gathering could not but have power
full effect in strengthening the unity
of people scattered far and wide over
the ancient world. Here they wor-
shipped common divinity, and recog-
nized in one another members of the
same race.
But the chief, absorbing interest OF
the festival conferred in the athletic
games Lucian, in his "Anacharsis,"
well expresses the passion of these
contests The Scythian Anacharsis
expresses his surprise that the best
people of Greece could divert them
selves in seeing men batter each other
with blows, and throw each other to
the ground, and even kill each other.
To which Solon replies: ''Were we
present at the Olympic, Isthmian, or
Panathenaic games, you would see in
what took place that we are not wrong
in being SO keen for these spectacles
/ could not, on my honor, give you any
idea of the pleasures of being seated
in the midst of an enthusiastic audi
eDce and of seeing the bravery of the
athletes, the beauty of their bodies,
their admirable poses. their marvellous
agility, their indefatigable force, their
daring, their rivalry, their invincible
courage, their incessant efforts for
victory. / am sure that you would

An Event Which Contributed to the Rise of
Napoleon j.
Apropos of the Napoleon craze, hero
Is story:
When Napoleon was appointed for
the first time as an independent COM
manGiag general of the Italian army,
the directory then at the head of
France was not willing, or perhaps
not able, to provide enough money to
defray the expense of himself and his
lieUtenants TO the seat of war and
make proper show as commanding
general of SO considera BILE an army at
its headquarters. Napoleon borrowed
money from his friends, and after cx-
hausting all mis- credit succeeded in
collecting %. coo francs
He gave the whole amount to Junot,
a young officer who was known as a
frequent visitor to the gaming tables,
with instructions to lose tho whole
sum at the game or to win enough to
return tho amount doubled, as upon
the result would depend whether he
could accept the appointment as COM
handing general of the Italian forces,
and also appoint Junot as his adju-
tant, step which he already contem-
plated.
Junot went rs ordered. Napoleon
waited almost the whole night for his
return Finally at four o'clock in the
morning, the officer entered and gave
Napoleon G5, 900 francs, with the re-
mark that he had gambled away near
lv the whole sum of % 600 francs he-
fore he had at last succeeded in win
ming several high stakes in succession.
Then Napoleon accepted the appoint
ment, which was destined to confer
the highest glory upon him Junot
became one of his marshals Chicago
