THANKSGIVING.

The form Of charity which serves the
poor with a Thanksgiving dinner has
more Of poetry in it, and more of stim-
ulus to the spirit and ambition of those
who are Its recipients. than all the usual
gifts OF the rest of the year put together.
For brief twenty-four hours humanity
sets Its seal upon the bond of universal
brotherhood, aud over the Thanksgiving
board pledges the sad, the downtroddsn,
and the forgotten in the loving cup" Of
the rich. Thanksgiving there is, not for
the past, but for the present. which by Its
special bounty brightens the outlook into
the future aud gives renewed zest to life.
That all OF this can be done by means
of roast turkey, cranberry sauce. sage
stuffipg and mince pie may not be en-
couraging to high order of philosophy,
but it is none the less true.

The state needs registration law and
the legislature should give it to us. Too
many illegal votes were cast at the last
election. Lawrence county, for instance
returns 1,20O more votes than it did two
years ago, and these votes came from the
back precincts close to the Wyoming and
Montana lines, some of which were sup
posed to be uninhabited. Lawrence
county gave 800 majority for Bryan
Iroquois Chief.
This state appears to be in need of a
barrel soothing syrup for some folks
lacerated feelin's. Pears to us. Dick,
that in your neighborhood there is a
county that also gave a agreatly increased
vote. According to our mutually highly
esteemed Volgs Tribune, Brooklngs
county showed a gain Of 3lS votes, or an
added population" Of 1880. Tho Hills
country is largely made up Of floating
population. Had it--as it usually has
ticated McKlnieyward, these Republican
nightmares would have been avoided.

Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
in the jewelry business at o26 Penn.
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is we'll and favorably known,
was a victim of that worst form of dis
case-contagious blood poison. He
realized. that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baffled the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In a recent letter he says: "About
four years ago contracted severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before was in a terri
Bile condition. I Immediately placed
myself under treatment of two of the
best physicians in Washington city.
Their treatment, which l took faith-
fully for six months, cost me just three
hundred dollars, and left me worse than
when began it. My condition can

best be appreciated, when state that
my throat and mouth were ful1of sores
and my tongue was almost eaten away;
I had not taken solid food for three
months. My entire body was covered
with red blotches, my hands and feet
were sore and my hair was falling
out rapidly. Twas in a truly pitiablc
condition.

recommended S. S. S., stating that it
would certainly cure me. began its
use, and when had finished the fourth
bottle, began to improve, and by the
time had finished eighteen bottles,
was thoroughly rid of the disease; of
course, Twas not sure that was cured,
but am now convinced, as no sign
of the disease has ever returned for
four years. S. S. S. is the best blood
remedy in the world, and my cure was
due solely and alone to it,
Contagious blood poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. 1t has always baffled the doc
tors, and, until the discovery of S. S. g.,
was incurable.
For fifty years S. S. S. has been cur
ing this terrible disease, even after all
other treatment failed. 1t is guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and one thou
sand dollars reward is offered for proof
to the contrary. S. s. s. never fails
to cure contagious blood poison, or
any other disease of the blood. If
you have blood disease, take rem.
edy which will not injure you. Be-
ware of mercury; don't do violence
to your system.

The DEAR delightful and strictly pure
Republican press Of this state is now
wanting things that it never wanted be-
fore. One of the things it wants is a
change in the form of marking the bal
lot. The Republican state assemblies
were very careful to frame the law in
their own Interests. For one thing they
provided that the same name could not
appear twice on the ballot. This was
aimed at possible fusion between the
Democrats and Populists. Now that
successful fusion was accomplished in
many counties by certifying the ticket
under one head, by which the voter
could vote the ticket from top to bottom
by simply marking cross in the circle
at the top. they want the circle done
away with. The GRAPHIC advocated this
change two years ago, but if it was
seconded by any Republican newspaper
we did'.'t see it. Now, by gum, we are
in favor of letting the other fellows
sweat awhile.

II have bsen suneterfor eight years
with that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and no person
can describe the burning and itching l
had to endure.
"The extent of my sufferings can be
appreciated when state that my con.
dition was such that could not take
my bed, and for three months 1 never
laid down, but was compelled TO sit i'll
my chair when not moving around. I
was treated by the best of physicians
with no success, and tried all tile patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. 1 then went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. I went to
Florida, thinking that a change Of cli-
mate and water and the citron fruit
might cure me, but found no cure.
Citizen tried S.S.and after three days
the burning and itching subsidized, and
continued to improve steadily until
was well-entirely cured. After COM
mencing S. S. S. never put an exter-
nal application to my limbs or any part
of my body. You may refer to me any
person suffering from Eczema. 1 will
always keep the S. S. S. i'll my house,
for consider it the best blood me dicing
OF the present age. am seventy years
Of age and ain now in perfect health"
For real blood diseases relief can only
be obatined bv using real blood rene
dy. So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake of taking REM
edies which at best are only tonics and
canno! possibly reach their trouble. 1t

blood remedies cannot reach that S.S.S.

The Hot Springs Star, a strong Repnb-
lican newspaper, publishes long edi-
torial explaining the Republican loss of
vote in the Hills. The Star says that the
heavy Democratic gain was due princi-
pally to the appeals to the miners from
their fellow workmen in mining states.
Another reason was that the strong Pop
ulist sentiment Nebraska has stopped
over the border and thoroughly impreg-
mated the agricultural class in the Black
Hills. Then the Star says. too. that there
was a widespread dissatisfaction among
the Republicans Mt the way tho Hills
counties have been turned down by the
party on numerous occasions. II there
was any fusion colonizing OF votes in the
Black Hills the Star has not discovered
1t and is too honest to lie about 1t.
