THE REAL POWER IN JOURNALISM.

Inability to rise above the partisan
level, or willful design to belittle and
misinterpret for the sake of party ad-
vantage, were never made more con-
spicuous than in the comments of the
press upon President Cleveland's regu-
lar message to Congress. While there
were a few party papers nour exchange
lists that put aside party and treated
the message as that of the President of
the whole country, and gave it credit for
being a moderate and dignified State
document bespeaking sincerity and in
dustry on part of the President, the
great majority of Republican papers as
sailed the document as indicative fstub-
bolnness, self-coneeit and absolute de-
NAL of facts, the output Of onewho holds
himself to be superior to his position
and above his party, and whose sturdy
adherence to his convictions of right was
interpreted as the persistence and blind
ness of the crank and the political ia
natic.
On the other hand the vast majority
of the Democratic press indorsed the
message with a degree of enthusiasm
that was excessive, and approved it with
a gush that was frothy with partisan
ism These considered it the expression
of the greatest statesman of the age,
the message of a President who finds in
our annals no record of a peer. 1t was
only in the independent and unhamp-
cred independent press of the country
that there was found, with a few rare ex-
ceptions, calm, non-partisan, dispas-
sionate and candid examination. re-
view and criticism of the message.
As between these several exponents
of public opinion who can hesitate for a
moment in designating the really in
huential? Indeed, the sensible reader
takes the partisan criticism with so
much of marginal allowance that there
is nothing left upon which to repose
trust or fasten admiration.
Partisan journalism has in fact well
nigh lost all influence among thinking
people. The party paper that is in lead
ing strings of organization and echoes
only the blast of the party trumpet,
awakens very little response in the
hearts and judgments Of the American
people to-day. The paper that is for
party because of principles announced
and adhered to. and is yet independent
of party and free to castigate and criti-
cize it, to stay by it or cut loose at will,
is the paper that commands a hearing
among thoughtful people. The inde-
pendent press represents the real
journalistic power.

fraught with danger
and distress. It is a perfectly natural
function, and should be performed in a
natural way without undue suffering.
Nature never intended that women
should be tortured when doing the one
thing which makes them wholly wo-
manly. The perversion of natures laws
has brought this suffering about, and a
return to right living will stop it.
Nine out of ten women are troubled
more or less by weakness and diseases
peculiar to their sex. 1t is SO because
they do not take proper care of them
selves-because they neglect little ills
and little precautions. A woman in per-
fectly hearty health goes through her
time of trial with comparative ease. The
thing to do then, is to make all expec-
tant mothers healthy - to strengthen
them generally and locally. The medi-
cine and tonic to do it with is Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

It soothes and strengthens the nerves and

The Fight in Chicago Between the
Millionaire and the Millions.

Chicago, July 9.-(Specia1) Last
night the glad lights blazed in fu1-
some grandeur in the Auditorium as
the guests dined casually in the COR
geous dlnner-room. They sat there
III well-fed superfuity and touched
the menu here and there with a Ian
guild carelessness. The diamonds blazed
from the fingers and shirt bosoms and
dresses and threw back the light that
came from the gorgeous chandeliers.
They were ~all from the Northeast.
They wore on their coat-lapels little
button that read ''sound money"
On the paving outside the plate glass
windows stood crowd of men, gaz-
ing with bit of longing into the great
dining-room and at the money-bags
that dined in opulent magnifcence.
Some Of these outsiders had eaten
quarter dinners and a few had not
refused the bounty Of the free lunch
counter. They were not ''in style" in
cut of clothes or swing of gait. Many
of them wore cloth badges with the
homely features of Honest Dick Bland.
They are not all city people nor coun-
try: not magnates, not even lead
ers.'
Just then Sound Money club
passed down the street, silk hats
CLOSED and top coats jaunty. A mo-
ment later a long procession of men
of all styles and situations turned
from a side avenue into this main
street, with the blaze of thousand
tin horns and the din of ten thousand
shouts. 1t was a Earring sound but
sixteen to one" were the words and
music of the song.
These silk-hatted be-diamonded
magnates have come to town to tell
the honest common peoplewhatisg good
for them, the common people. Their
protracted meeting has resulted in
few converts, for the erring sinners
have no faith in the evangelists.
These sixteen-to-one fellows have
been pulled out of the heart of the
common people, and sent here to wipe
off bad uper-structure, and get down
to bedrock foundations once more.
1.-THE Democrats will not get dol
lar from the East, and we will force
them to us if they would win," said
Gold Bug Harrity.
"'We are right is our campaign
fund.-" spoke Richard Bland
And this is what it all comes to.
This money fight is a battle between
the people and the plutocrats, be-
tween the millionaires and the mill
lions. between money and manhood.
With the lines drawn clear and
square, who can doubt the end?

AN OUTLAND VOYAGE.


The tall ships come and the tall ships
go
Across the purple bay;
But there's never a ship so fair and
fine,
Never a ship so brave as mine,
As mine that sailed away.
Bright in the light. and gray in the
shade,
And white when the waves glow dun,
The gulls go by with their great wings
spread;
But the sails of my ship We're gold and
red
And they shone like the setting sun,
They make good cheer in the tavern
here,
The sailors home from sea;
But the crew of my ship they feast
with Kings,
In emerald crowns and opal rings,
And coats of the cramoisie.
Fine is the freight their ships bring in,
But mine bears finer far:
Pearls and roses, and links of gold,
MvrTh, and amber, and rich bales
rolled,
As bright as the morning star.
Twas May-Dawn morn that my ship
set sail,
With the dew on her figurehead;.
Her bows were wreathed with the
hawthorn bloom,
As she stole through the dusk Of the
dawning gloom,

$500 In GOLD BROWNS A MAN.

AT the burning of steamboat on
the Hudson river many years ago,
many of the passengers were drowned.
Among the bodies brought. up from the
bottom of the river by graphing was
that of a man known to have been an
excellent swimmer. Around his waist
was a belt containing nearly $500 in
gold. That told the story.
I'm old and chronic cases of indiges-
ton dyspepsia or gastritis-it is all
the same) the sufferer develops a
great variety of symptoms and often
dies poisoned by the products of his
own torpid and in1amed stomach. His
food, instead of being digested, and
so furnishing strength and physical
substance, ferments and putrefies
within him. The chief process of life
is arrested at vital point. The more
he eats the worse off he is. And yet
unless he can be fed he must also
perish. People do so die, daily, by
thousands, but we doctors seldom
have the moral courage to give the
cause its true name lest we should be
laughed at for our inability to cure
so simple thing as indigestion.
Simple? Why, it is the capstone of
all complaiats-and the mother of
most of them" SO writes a famous
English physician.
Some of the symptoms alluded to are
these: Loss of appetite distress after
eating; heartburn and palpitation;
giddiness; foul. taste in the mouth |;
the rising of nauseous acids and gases
into the throat; furred tongue; spots
before the eyes: unaccountable weari-
| ness and fatigue; sluggish circula-
ton; weakness and nervous prostra-
ton; constipation or diarrhoea; dis
olored skin, etc.
The sufferers friends often advise
him to cheer up; to throw off his
lethargy and eat freely. Bad advice.
He knows better. NO." he answers, ST
cannot; my food does me no good"
He is right. Food now is gold in the
spent swimmers belt.

AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
A Well-known Halifax County Farmer

Killed by a Hunter.
Weldon, N. c., July 9.--(SpeciaD-
Samuel Garner, well known farmer
of this county, was accidentally shot
and instantly killed by Mr.. r. r. Laf-
foon at this place to-day. Garner was
looking at the freshet in Roanoke riv-
er. Laffoon was ninety yards away,
on a hill, and shot at a rabbit, the
ball struck Garner with fatal effect.
The coroner's jury after hearing evi-
dence rendered verdict that deceased
came to his death by accident and that
no blame attached to Laffoon.
The Roanoke river is 81 feet above
low water mark to-day and is still
rising. The water is spreading out in
the low lands and a good many fields
of corn are under water. The State
farms are protected by bikes and but
little damage has been done so far.
There was a regular water spout here
late yesterday afternoon and the
streets were flooded. Crops are seri-
ously injured, it is feared, throughout
the county.

are growing in interest and large
congregation heard him last night.

Owing to washouts on the Peters

yesterday ran over the Seaboard Air
