CUT AND DRIED.

Who says the bosses do not run
the Republican party in this
State and fix up states at their own
sweet will? What is the use for
them to hold State Convention at
Parkersburg this week, when the
whole job is already liked; cut and
dried all the way through ? The
delegates can 60 out there and
spend their money and shout them
selves hoarse, for the looks Of the
thing, but that is all it amounts to.
The following short letter received
last week from the Parkersbure
State Journal, the leading Repub-
lican paper Of the State next to the
Wheeling Intelligencer, gives the
whole snap away. Docs anybody
dare deny it?

Americans Must Take Mexican Medi
 cine When in Mexico.

Tucson Citizen: Mexico refused to surrender Chester A. Rowe, an Iowa county treasurer, who became a landed proprietor and citizen of the republic in order to escape eNtradltOn. The republic, however, said he would be tried under the Mexican law, for bring ing stolen money into the country. She has shown her good faith in the matter and has carried out her prom ise. The Two Republics of Thursday says:
 "The jury yesterday was just out one hour and five minutes in d;sposing of the case of Chester IA. Rowe. He was found guilty of bringing stolen public money into Mexico and sen- tenced to twelve years and two months in Be,en penitenttary, with an addi- tional promise of police surveillance att the end of his sentence and foul years more detention in case of misbe havior. If Rowe had not renouncet his country he would at least now havt the privilege of doing what he pro i fesses to wish ito do-meet his accuser i in his old home. But he is a Mexican citizen by his own voluntary act. ant he must take Mexican justice as it i' handed out ito him."

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. Ii | is here on it's merits.

Why all women are not 'beautlIul anu all men not strong may be hard to ex- plain: but it is not so hard to say why more men are not strong and more women not beautiful. It is because they need to have their blood purified and invigoratd by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla good old medicine which not only has stood the test Of half a century, but was alone consld- cred worthy of exhibition, by the Worlds Fair Commissioners, out of all the preparations purportlng ito De blood purifiers and nerve tonics. It IS fact, we'll known ito medical men and testified to by thousands that the effect of using this medicine is to i'm part strength ito the muscles, v1gor to the mind, brightness ito the eye, brill liance to the skin, and bloom ito the cheek. What more can be desired? Ayers Sarsaparilla does this for oth- CTS. it will do so for you. It does this by driving out of the velns and arteries every particle of diseased blood and filling them with pure and vigorous circulation. This is the secret both Of
 beauty and of health.

CHANGED CONDITIONS.

An exchange suggests that one of ane reasons why debates in congress gre not read and discussed by the peo- yIe as they used to be is because they ss.e not worth reading pr discussing.
 The realson given is partially cor rsct, but the real failure of such de hafes to attract readers and to 1n5p1re d1sc1pss:on in the corner grocerles and fine cig1ar-store senates is because there is so much else to attract attention Years ago when the newspapers were more of 3 ,llxllry, and when the col Iectfng of news from all parts Of the world was costly and almost inlpos- sfbIe. the newspapers devoted :nore ol tr1eir spalce to debates in congress. Those debates formed an important feature of the newspaper columns.
 Under existing conditions, with 6resh news every twelve hours from 
 aaE parts of the world, and with special correspondents at Washington, who tell tine story of debates briefly and with the dreary details omitted, tine Is too short to permit the wading enro1lgh of columns and columns of speeches.
 There are entirely too many diver stuns nowadays ito make congressional t.lly 2 matter for debate and discus sion. The people keep in touca will situations as they are created and af they develop. They do not have to de uend upon the speeches of members o congress. which are seldom given ii full. The man who wishes to read th .reecbes delivered at Washington SC eaIres the Congressional Record ant eoes off quietly by himself ald wade thrfarsh them. His frien1s are ia miliar with events and do4ngs an sayi, gs at the capital and have no tim to waste in discussion. They forr their own conclusions.
