LeSeur was ovcrtallcu by Rheumatism
and soon his strength gave way to
condition of he1plcssness. This dread
disease produces more agony, he says,
than can well be described. For
years I have suffered with Sciatic
Rheumatism and often felt as if a
small piece Of my spine had been
taken out, also as if fragment of
bombshell had passed through my left
hip. When / would sit down, | could
not straighten up for several minutes,
and then only at tile expense of great
pain. / could get absolutely no relief,
though many remedies were tried.
Someone recommended S. S. S. and /
was almost i'll despair when began its
use. In three days, however, l was
SO greatly relieved that | felt very
little inconvenience from the rheuma-
tisn. The disease grew less painful
as I continued the S. S. S., and very
soon disappeared entirely. 5. ;. :.

Rheumatism is a condition OF the
blood which has always batflcd the
doctors, and it is a popularity that
those who once have it are sure 10 al
ways be stsbj ect to its attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system Of the disease permanently.
S. S. S. guaranteed purely uegctoblel is
the only real blood remedy for real
blood troubles, such as Rheumatism,

Rheumatism.

~ The busiest ard most useful men
are not always exempt from sickness.
Especially are they liable to be at
tackled and completely disabled by that
most annoying and painful ailment-
Rheumatism. Men in all walks of life
are subject at amy time to be seized
with this disease, and besides the great
bodily pain, there is almost unbearable
mental anguish at tile thought of hav-
ing ones strength and vigor gradually
supp1anted by condition of utter
helplessness. Under the effects Of
Rheumatism, the strongest men be-
come the weakest, and the most useful
are robbed of their usefulness.
Mr.. J. A. LeSeur has lived in At
ianta, Ga, for years, and some of the
prettiest residences and most substan-
tial business blocks of that city are
monuments to his skill as an architect
and builder.

SCHEME

The Journal has reliable that
the managers of the Bryan campaign are
maturing a scheme which will be sprung
in a few days and from which they expect
great results. For its success they depend,
as In the case of the Morey letter In the
Garfield campaign, upon the credulity of
many voters and the difficulty of pursuing
and effectually refuting a lie which is ex-
plotted in a sensational way in the clos
ing days of the campaign. The Morey let
ter, purporting to have been written by
General Garfield in January, 1850, the body
of which, as well as his signature, was
forged, was brought out in New York about
two weeks before the election. 1t placed
General Garfield in the attitude of favoring
Chinese immigration, and, in the sensitive
state of the public mind on that question
at that time, it had an effect which was
with difficulty counteracted during the re-
naming days of the campaign. The Bryan
managers propose to repeat the tactics Of
the Morey letter. Their scheme is intended,
If possible, to counterfeit the effect pro-
duced by the recent patriotic statement of
Archbishop Ireland, which has gone all
over the country, and the very able letter
of Hon. S. p. Sheerin, late secretary of the
Democratic national committee. In order.
as it is hoped, to counterfeit the influence
Of these statements among sound-money
men of the Roman Catholic Church who
have determined to vote for Mckinley it
has been decided to spring the charge that
he is a member of the so-called A. p. A.
organization. The charge will be made in
a specific form and supported by proofs
apparently genuine, but really false and
forged. AS in the case of the Morey letter,
an attempt may be made to forge the very
handwriting and signature of Mckinley
himself. The charge will be SO direct and
the evidence apparently SO convincing as
to require immediate refutation and per-
haps counter ~affidavits. Arrangements will
be made to furnish Bryan with an advance
he will use them as effectively as possible
in the closing speeches of his campaign,
which will be made in large cities. Whether
this plan will be carried out the Journal
cannot say, but it has positive informa-
ton that it has been decided upon. The
exact form of the charge, the pretended
proofs and the time and manner of bring
ing them out are not within the knowledge
of the Journal, but the main fact is be-
yond question. That it should have been
decided upon at all, or even considered, is
evidence of the desperation of the Bryan
managers, and If carried out it will be a
fitting elimination of a campaign of false
hoods, fakes and forgeries.

Bishop TayIOr's African Mission

1t was well known to inner circles of
the Methodist Episcopal Church for a long
while that the bad management which had
characterized Bishop Taylor's administra-
ten in California and had fol-
lowed him to Africa. and that the time
had come for a change if anything was to
be saved out of the vast expenditure of
money in that country; hence he was re-
tired under the plea of old age and conse-
Quent noneffectiveness, and DR.. HartzeII.
who had long wisely managed the affairs
of the Freedman'S Aid Society, was elected
to take his place. Bishop Hartzell has not
yet sailed for his diocese, but will sail in
a few weeks. Meanwhile he has been in
vestigating the condition of affairs at long
range, the result of which is set forth in
part in an appeal to the church as follows:
Il have now in my desk fully 5000 in bills
which must be met, and my African mis-
sion treasury, L see by my check-book.
has $25 to it's credit. > = e In all proba-
bility a good share Of Bishop Taylor's
or else the friends of Africa must con-
tinue their special gifts 1t will be re-
membered that the Journals special cor
respondent at the late General Confer
ence called attention to the probable con-
dition of affairs in that mission. having
come in possession of facts not intended
TO be made public at that time, but this
revelation from Bishop Hartzell indicates
a worse condition than he predicted. No
one charges any moral delinquencies in
the matter; only a want Of business ca
pacity,

MIR. BRYAN N THE FORCED AS
SESSMENTS.

Mr.. Bryan has given so many evil
dences in his speeches of a lack of what
Thomas Jefferson called in the Declaration
of independence "a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind" that one is sur
prised to find that he possesses even q mod
icum of the feeling. 1t seems he does. He
is actually sensitive to the criticism caused
by the collection of fees in advance from
towns where he IS to speak, ana is trying
the party managers. This shows that he
is not insensible to public criticism, but
he cannot thus escape his share of the
responsibility for the transaction. Early
in the campaign he frequently referred in
his speeches to the fact that as 'the COM
mon people could not afford TO come to
him at Lincoln he had determined to visit
them at their homes. That was before he
began to charge for speeches. Later on
it. became known that there had been
friction between him and the party man
ayers in Washington and New York. and
that he had taken the management of his
personal campaign into his own hands.
Since then the assessment business has
begun. How extensively 1t has been prac-
ticed nobody knows except Bryan himself
and this local party managers. but 1t has
