When wear begins to exceed repair in
your body you are going to fall sick. The
signs of it are loss of flesh, paleness, weak
ness, nervousness, etc. The repair needed
is food. You think you eatenough, and yet
you feel chat you wear out more tissue, en-
ergy, nerve-force, than yourifood makes for
you. The difficulty is that you do not
digest enough. And this is so.s various it is
worth sitting down seriously to think about,
If you can't digest what you eat take few
doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial. The
effect OF it will be to increase your flesh and
make you feel stronger. You won't fall
sick. Proof that it is in control of your re-
pair apparatus. It's easy enough to test this
for yourself. Take few bottles of Shaker
Digestive Cordial.

Must Saw Wood.

PERU, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE honest
money democratic league yesterday
sent a gilded saw buck and saw in
miniature to VIM. J. Bryan as a re-
minder of the following part of his
speech, delivered in this city on Octo-
Der %: 1.-The man who leaves the dem
oc1atic party in its great fight this
year need not come back until he has
fully atoned for the sin committed.
The prodigal son who leaves the demo-
cratic household this year and goes to
feed the hogs, when he comes back has
got to come with the understanding
that he must saw wood a long while
before he gets to the table.
Profound regret has been inspired
among our people by the apparent de-
feat of Judge A. N. Campbell for re-
election as Judge of this Circuit. For
this result the immense and very sus-
picious increase af Fayette county's
vote is responsible. We hear. however,
that in canvassing the returns from
Fayette this week the County court of
that county has already thrown out
the votes OF 400 negroes WHO voted at
two precincts and is proceeding to
throw out many others upon the score
of illegality. If this is SO it will have
the effect of eIecting Judge Campbell
and will also place Mr.. E. l. Holt in the
State Senate, while it will defeat Chris.
Payne, (colored). the Republican can
didate for the Legislature. Develop
ments are awaited with interest.-Mon-

An Appeal to Charity.

A most timely plea for the relief of the
poor is made by the Central Relief Com
mittee. If ever there was a season when
| these unfortunates are most in need Of aid it
| is in winter, and at no period OF winter is
their condition more pitiable than about
contrast to the general joyousness. The
| commuters appeal makes no mention of
| Christmas. for this organization probably
thinks that it cannot afford TO indulge in
side issues. Its case is strong enough, for
destItution is more extensive in the Dis
trict this winter than it has been i n many
years, and 1T will require much more than
the ordinary appropriations to provide the
poor with the necessaries of life. The com
| forting assurance is presented, however,
that the people Of Washington have never
failed to respond promptly and literally
to any call made upon their generosity.
and it need not be doubted that they
will be found ready and willing to open
hands and hearts to relieve distress and
misery
IL may appear a little harsh to some good
people, especially at this time, to accom-
pany an appeal for charity with an admoni-
ton not to leave out Of view the utilitarian
side Of the question. Aid should be given
unstintedly and without price or COM
pensaUory service of any kind to those
whose physical condition is helpless, but,
on the other hand, those that are able
TO work should be required to render some
equivalent in labor for the assistance ex-
tended to them. No merCenary motive
influences this suggestion, but an earnest
regard for the best interests and for the
self-reSpect OF persons who may he only
temporarily unfortunate, and who should
be kept from drifting into mere mendicancy
and pauperism. They should be permitted
nay, forced, if need he-tO preserve their
status as workers in the human bee hive,
and not allowed to become drones that live
by the labor OF their Industrious neighbors.
There is true charity in this course ;charity
not cnly to the body but To the mental and
moral nature OF the individual.
In the meantime, however, let every one
give according to his or her means. Money,
fuel, provisions, clothing-no matter how di
lapidatei it may seem to the owner-every-
thing can be made of service. And as there
are degrees Of poverty, So even those who
have not yet tasted the very dregs of the
cup, may help their more unfortunate fel-
lows. Totheni, noleSs thanto the wealthy,
is addressed the admonition: Remember,
the poor ye have with You always

CarIisle,s Curious Cure.

Now that the smoke of the political battle
has cleared away, and Secretary Carlisle
has sufficiently congratulated himself upon
the defeat OF the party which elevated him
to office, he has bethought himself that
Christmas gift is due from him to the
nation, and has consequently issued his
annual report upon the state of the ma
tional finances. Taken all in all, it is a
masterpiece, of which The Presidents NJ ost
ohedient may well be proud, for it is, per-
haps, the finest example extant of the pc
metallism with the same horror as they do
yellow fever, and who style anarchists
those who assert that the decentralization
of silver has enhancedt the purchasing power
ofgold.
The report shows deficit for the year
ending June 30, 1896, of S2b .2O3, ,246.
and Mr.. Carlisle estimates deficiencies for
the current fiscal year and the succeeding.
one of $64, 500 900, and S45,71s, $40, re-
spectively, making a total deficit for three
years of 81 80, ,422 .216 Despite this bad
showing the Secretary sapiently wags his
head and advises more economy in appro-
priations and expenditures.
Summed up, Mr.. Carlisle's report admits
that we have insufficient revenue, yet pre-
scribes no remedy save economy, just as
if Il tai ma n should go about in high water
unmenticnables because he was too stingy
to buy a little more cloth. He recommends
the maintenance and perpetuation of the
single gold standard and the retirement Of
United States currency, although banks
and large firms are smashing because there
is not enough money in circulation for the
requireme nts of commerce. II its subject
matter We're not SO serious, Mt Carlisle's
report would be food for much hearty laugh
ter and add zcst to the merriment of the
holiday season.

SCHECK, Of Hessen, Germany, Is
registered at the Arlington. Mr.
scheck, in his own country, is a
manufacturer OF the large casks which are
used by brewers and wine distillers for
the storage OF liquors.
The wood used for this work must have
many qualities which are not found COM
bined in any timber cut in Europe. The
,nly timber which Possesses all the essen
iials Is the white oak OF Tennessee. In
fact, Mr.. Scheck is now on his way to that
State to negotiate for his ne xt year ssupply.
The principal topic OF discussion in Ger
many at present, said he, is the stand taken
by the emperor upon the Rrusewitz case,
in which an army officer stabbed a civ
Titan, whp, having inadvertently jostled
him, refused TO apologize. The soldier
was tried by court-nartiai, and though ad
Judged guilty, escaped with a light sen
tence. The emperor has ordered a re-
opening of the case, but whether lie thinks
the officer SHOULD have been cxcuipated, or
whether, in his opinion, the sentence should
have been heavier, no one knows.
The people of Germany generally are in
a state OF Indignation over the officers
nigh handed act, and unless he is further
punished something more will no doubt be
at present every one is waiting for mani
festation on one side or the other from the
emperor.
