1t 10 worse than useless to parley over
the many circumstances which brought
decentralization to the republican camp.
Rather. let us seek remedy for it. 1t
would be childish for us to repress our
chagrin. Therefore let US act wisely.
Populism is triumphant 10 this state,
and will be until the republican party
admits that it has firm hold on this
state only 90 long as it is represented by
men OF unquestioned honesty and integ-
rity, aud no longer. With Hayward the
republicans would have won; with Mac.
Coll and a few others they went down!
But Lincoln people are interested
right here at home, and when they con.
template the slump in republican ma.
jorities in some wards OF the city they
are dismayed. While the republican
loss all over the city was only about
400, according to the official count. it is
safe to aver that it was
fully 800 or more. This estimate. while
it may not seem reasonable at first. will
become more convincing when it 10 con.
sidered that hundreds OF democrats and
populists voted for sound money who vote
their straight tickets on other elections.
Without question, under these condi-
tons. the popocrats are in moro ag-
gressive shape than they have ever been
in the history OF this city. The repub
lican party, a a result, is now in need
OF the most patient and skillful nursing,
else. instead Of retrieving il will lose
still more ground.
These broad assertions may CRATE
upon few sensitive ears. and give rise
to some criticism. The Courier, how
ever, does not object to little criti.
cism; it relishes it, in fact. The fact ID
this paper is not given to disseminating
misleading and wishee-washee senti-
ment. but advocates q vigorous and
truthful policy in all political matters.
While facts are stubborn things they
must be met. To avoid an issue il but
to experience even redoubled difficulty
when it is again encountered. Hence
the republican party Of Lincoln should
realize, and at once, that it is on the
verge Of q political precipice, and that
If not properly guarded by it's leaders, it
may be hurled into the yawning pit
from which there will be no escape for
some years at least. With efficient and
honest men aud management. however,
the solution of the situation is plain

remain 30 il accorded fair treatment by

But the people are not fools. and will

the reduction in republican majorities
in Lincoln last week indicated. We

lar. but are suggested with view Of

can papers were aggravatingly silent.
He, too, was on the defensive. when he
should have been, by all means, the
aggreesor. Had it not been for this
bulldozing step-it was no mistake-the
republican party, instead Of losing 700
or more votes. would probably have
gained that many. and no man will or
can deny that man Of good reputation
would have brought more votes to the
republican ticket than did Stephenson.
1t may be argue1. however. that tho
vote cast this year compares favorably
with that OF 1892 but when it is shown up
as it really is. without sentiment or
bias. such statement fades.
The above arraignment OF Mr.. Steph.
enson is done with the purest Of mo.
tives, and Mr.. Stephenson himself can
not deny that he was a load on the
ticket. This fact should impress all
republicans with this one idea-that
men Of unquestioned ability and unsul-
lied character are the only kind Of men
who can carry the republican ticket to
success next spring.

A Small

Cancer!

It IL very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners Of
the most violent disease. There 10
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases it
is first indicated by a very small scab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such a case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite a time. Mr.. J. B. Arnold be-
longs t one of the Oldest and best
families of Carolina; he is well and
favorab1y known throughout South
Carolina, and has resided at Green
wood for years. Cancer is hereditary

He says: "It gave me = great deal
of pain-those sharp, darting pains %
characteristic of cancer I o many
so-called blood medicines, without the
slightest effect, and sought the help Of
the best physicians, but they did me
no good; one told me, however, that I
was incurable and had better make my
arrangements accordingly. I was on
the verge of despair, when DIR. J. L.
Miller, one of the leading druggists of
my town, recommended S. s. s. The
first bottle seemed to make me worse,
but DIR. Miller told me this was a fav-
orab1e symptom, and by the time l had
taken the second bottle, the cancer be-
gan to discharge, and as I continued
this became quite profuse, and kept up
for some time. Then it gradually
grew less, and after awhile ceased al
together, and to my delight the place
dried up and is cured entirely, SO that
nothing remains but a scar.

does cure hereditary cancer. No one
