Fresh air and plenty Of pleasurable ex-
ercise are good for woman. But UNI
fortunately all women are not rich. Most
women have work TO do--duties to per-
form: duties that sometimes, wrongly,
seem more important than her health.
Nine women in ten have some trouble
peculiar to their sex because they are
careless, because they have inherited
weakness, because they neglect little
symptoms that grow into health-wreck'
ing disorders.
Over 40 years ago DR.. R. V. Pierce, OF
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
OF Buffalo, n. ", saw the need of some
simple, effective, and certain cure for so
called "female complaint" He was
then, as now, a specialist in the diseases
of women, and the result of his study and
experiments was the marvelously efec-
tive remedy known all over the civilized
world as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t cures where doctors have failed.
II cures where medicines have been use
less. It cures in perfectly natural way
by purifying and strengthening the or
gans involved. It's cure is permanent.
II leaves the whole body in better con-
dition than il ever was. II cures without
the local examinations and treatment so
abhorrent to every modest woman.
When the blood Is impure any form of sickness
may gain a foothold. The organs and TISSUES
that draw their nourishrent from an impure
supply OF blood soon become ciogged with efete
material Serious illness is the inevitable result
Impure blood is caused by constipation, and con-
stipaton is cured by DR. Pisrces Pleasant Pellets.

GOOD FOR THE COUNCIL.

The value OF the r~ovement for n Demo
cratic League 10 secure the city OF Rich
mond better government was notably
illustrated by the action OF the Council
on Friday night In cutting eppropTia-
tons down twenty thousand dollars be-
low what they were last year. we have
not the slightest doubt that this reduction
would not have been made IL there had
been no movement OF the sort.
We intend no kind OF reflection upon
the Council when we say this, but human
nature is the same in the Council and
out OF the Council. That body needed
the stimulus Of this movement amongst
tie people TO stir them up to the energetic
action involved in making this reduc.
ton. They got the stimulus and the
action followed.
We feel sorry for the subjects or public
expenditures that will have their appro-
priations pinched but the time has come
on us when all coats must be cut &C
cording 10 the cloth. We have been
spending more money than We receive.
Our income falls short OF what we have
been appropriating. II we 20 on in such
a course as that It is only a question
OF time when we shall become BANKRUPT
We must reduce our expenditures. or In
crease our taxes, and the people OF
Richmond are In no humor 10 stano
an imposition OF greater taxes. our
taxes are. In point Of fact. very burden
some now. and tho people cannot well
bear more.
Economy should be the watcbwor1 an,
we are grad to say that this action
by tho Council indicates tina, II responds
TO the needs OF tho hour.

WILL IT CERTAINLY ZEE M'RINLEY?

The Washington Post is at the centre OF
what Is naturally supposed 10 be the
focus OF political news, and it ought
~ know the drift OF public opinion
amongst the politicians Of the nation. We
quote from il the following diagnosis
ST the Republican case:
The efforts 10 revive General Harrison
as a presidential candidate are not en-
couraged by him or by any one who IS
in his confidence. He made 1t very clear
10 those who saw him In New York
that he dill not expect or desire the
nomination, and while 1t may not be
said that he expressed a choice among
the several candidates, 1t IS known thai
Senator Allison is his preference. lie
is out OF the field, w1cnout qualification,
his friends say, and II any delegate al
the St. Louis deega .on casts vote
for him, il will DO without his consent
or approval. Nor Will he permit his
name 10 be used for strategic" purposes
TO defeat any other candidate. IL there
should be a deadlock at the convention
and il should appear that none OF the
candidates formally presented can Sc
cure d majority OF the votes. General
Harrison might consent to have his name
proposed. but he declines 10 consider
such proposition until the emergency
arises lie is quoted as saying: The
bridge need not be crossed until we
get TO it."
The impression in New York, al the
hotels and clubs where politicians gather.
is that Mckinley viii be nominated. There
Is very little vitality in the Morton
boom. His supporters are discouraged
by the fact that the State delegation
viii not be solid for HIN. and there
would be no surprise at any time II he
should withdraw his name. II he does,
Mckinley would receive the support OF
about half the New York delegation
The remainder would go TO Reed.
or course. IL the Democratic party is
going to allow itself TO be loaded with
free silver, 1t does not much matter who
the Republicans put up. lie Will be ac-
cepted, whoever he may be. as mere
nearly representing the idea OF sounu
money than any doubtful Democratic
nominee. and he would. In such q case.

Democratic party will only have the
wisdom 10 leave all declarations In favor
OF cheap money out OF their platform, ana
nominate Thomas +. Bayard he will be
the next President OF the United States.
with Bayard az our candidate, It will
not even be necessary though it would
be most desirable 10 put a declaration
for sound money IN the platform. IL will
only be necessary TO abstain for de-
ciarins for unsound money. in that
case, the Democratic party ought to pray
that tie Republican party would nomi-
nate Mckinley. Bayard would give him
such a drubbing as has not often been
seen In politics.
But. We are sorry 10 believe, we see
signs that Mckinley IS weakening every
day. We fear the Republicans are be-
ginning 20 see the load they are assum-
ing in taking him and HIS high protection
ideas on their back. We DO not hesi-
tate to say that we 60 not IKE the indl-
cations we see in air quarters that Har-
rison stock is moving UP point by point.
lie would be harder man to beat than
Mckinley. but Bayard can beat him. too.
Harrison has not as heavy load OF
protection TO carry "a Mckinley has, but
he has all that Is necessary.
Give us Bayard, and the next President
will be a Democrat. never mind who may
be nominated by tho Republicans.
