ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant

everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

been known for some months that he
had not long to live and never again
could be an active figure in public af-
fairs. The speaker had several spells of
Illness in Washington. Hetsuffered from
asthma and later of heart trouble. His
Ill health, however, did not become a
matter of public notoriety until last
spring, when he was compelled to aban-
don a series of joint debates arranged
with ex-secretary Hoke Smith, by reason
Of the advice of his physician that it
would imperil his life for him to continue
the debate, which had attracted great
interest, as it involved the position of
the Democratic party of the state on the
silver question and the senatorship of
Georgia, for which the ex-speaker was
an active candidate. The silver men
won the fight and Crisp, had he lived,
would have been the next senator from
Georgia. He was a forcible speaker, a
man of great tact and possessed quail
ties that fitted him for leadership of
parliamentary assemblages. His first
prominence in national affairs came
from the skill with which he led his
party in several warm election contests.
He was elected to the speakership after
one of the most remarkable canvasses
in the history Of the house. His chief
opponent was Senator Roger @. Mills
Of Texas, whom he defeated after a
struggle SO prolonged that the house of
representatives, contrary to custom, as
sembled on the opening day with the
question of the next speaker still in
doubt.
AS speaker Mr.. Crisp was fair but
arm. His rulings have been upheld and
though sometimes they were the SUBJ
5ect Of criticism of his political oppo-
nents, he always commanded their re-
epect and confidence. He was pro-

McELDOwNEY MUSINGS.

From the wetzel Democrat.
A number of conservative gentle
men, who still linger in the Demo-
cratic party, are talking Of organ
lied opposition to tho silver move
ment. Oar advice to them is to
have their lives we'll insured, for
they are reliable to be drowned in
the coming flood.
If the free silver movement be a
craze, it Is one that you cannot
down by argument, especially as
the best Of the argument is usually
on the silver side. We have never
yet heard a socalled Sound money
argument that had sound ring to
it, or one which il addressed to a
bench Of judges would not give rise
to dissenting opinions. Our propo.
sition Is, therefore, that these sound
money Democrats, to avoid the
tidal wave, build themselves an ark
or life boat and get into it, hoist
the Democratic flag aud let her go.
The Republicans are all gone daft
on the worship Of the grand Llama
Of Ohio. They care nothing for
silver or gold, or money Of any
kind except campaign money, and
for this purpose puper two dollar
bill will answer If the mlnna falls
copiously. The camp meeting is on
aud the Mckinley "Faith Cure" is
the doctrine Of salvation. Platt
may talk and Clarkson may figure.
but Mark Hanna Will give the in
crease. The day Of reason in the
Republican party is past aud gone.
You cannot reason a man out Of
McKinloyisn or small pox or mea-
sles or a cutaueou5 disorder, or any
malady of head, body or heart.
Whenever you open the Republi-
can Gospel you fad it there writ
ten, "there IS no God but protec-
tion, and Mckinley is its prophet. -
This is the faith delivered TO the
saints by Republican orators and
statesmen, when they we're cloctine
/ tho prophet TO the Office Of Gov
eraor Of Ohio. That this spurious
I doctrine, once preached by them
is now about TO be practiced b,
their people, is a thing OF which
they cannot nov lawfully complain

THE ARIZONA KICKER
Breaks Ont In West Virginia and
Has Lively Time.

Clarksburg. w. Va, telegram to
the Pittsburg Post; This city is
greatly excited over a severe whip
ping which ex-Mayor John q.
Vance inflicted upon young man
named w. q. Morrison yesterday
afternoon, and which, it as feared.
will ultimately end in a tragedy.
Two years ago when John O.
Pendletou, OF Wheeling, was can
didate for the Congressional re-
nomination on t h o Democratic
ticket in this district, Mrs. Goff
advanced $4,000 for tho purchase
of the Clarksburg News. which at
the time was fighting Pendleton
bitterly. Silas Is. Davis, then pri-
vate secretary to Pendleton, was
placed at the head of the paper,
and gave his individual notes. for
that amount of the purchase money.
Since that time he has continued
to run the paper in his own name.
Recently Mrs, Goff. tiring of che
Investment. Offered TO donate a
part of the sum if Davis would raise
and pay over the balance. Davis
sent Morrison TO Washington, where
Mrs. Goff resided, and after an in
terview, during which she claims
she gave him certain valuable pa
pers, among them being power Of
attorney for Colonel Vance to act
for her, he returned here but failed
to deliver the papers.
Yesterday Davis sold out the
plant for cash to Silas Langfitt, and
Immediately after left tho city,
leaving Morrison to deliver the
goods. Colonel Vance hearing of
the transaction, notified Mrs. Goff,
when he in turn was notified by
her of the papers she had sent
Morrison. Meeting Morrison on
the street. he was told to "call at
the Office" which he did, and after
beating Morrison until he was a
wreck, he proceeded to clean out
the place in the most approved
style, leaving but little Of any value
unbroken. What the end will be
no one can anticipate, though it is
thought that 1t is but the beginning
Of bitter feud.
Col. Vance has served as Mayor
of this city for several terms, and
has all through his life been proml-
nent in Democratic politics in the
State. Morrison is a young man
born and reared in the interior of
the county. Davis a relative of ex-
President A. O. Davis, Of the
defunct local business college.
