4 SINGULAR MALADY.

Their are some silverites Of the Chicago
persuasion who really think they are
Democrats. This IS a very singular de-
fusion, but ii is 50 strong that these
gentlemen are fully persuaded that their
Democracy is fact indeed, they believe
it as firmly as did George ~, that he
distinguished himself at the Battle OF
Waterloo. The first gentleman OF Eu-
rope" had, IN and out of his cups, so
often told of mis- imaginary powers In
whipping Napoleon that he came to fully
believe 1t himself. This alienation of
the mind would in a single case be re-
garded as evidence that the individual
was clearly unbalanced. but when 1t pos
sesses a number Of persons, the absurd.
not TO say melancholy aspect. is miti-
gated by a well recognized principle of
human nature, or custom among men.
10 apply a different rule to what Is
thought or done by a crowd from that
which is done by one person. AS, for
instance, what would be condemned as
brutal murder If done by a single person
is II done by a mob called taking the
law into their hands" This is the most
serious and hopeless form Of the cpl
demic.
The comical feature. however, of this
Chicago disease is the way 1t affects its
victims towards the Populists. In this
respect there is no sort OF uniformity in
the course OF the disease. With some, II
causes them TO affect, and doubtless to
be sincere in deprecating any association
with the Populists. They seem TO feel as
~ they would lose character or caste OF
naiitcal integrity b. recognizing the

Notwithstanding the effort being made
10 have II appear that the Grand Army
men OF Philadelphia were not opposed
TO Pickett Camp being invited there, we
think all the probabilities point TO the
opposition being fact. 1t Is represented
that about one-third Of those acting In
the matter were opposed to the invita-
tion being given. and it would be very
strange Il there were not an oposition
o. some such proportion as Ibis. The
passions Of the war have subsidized in
great measure. but II would be contrary
10 all the instincts Of human nature TO
md large body Of old soldiers upon
either side OF our civil war entirely re-
conciled TO their adversaries. We have
no doubt. the majority sentiment here
Is strongly In favor of the G. a. r. be-
Ing invited 10 Richmond. But II indi-
uidual sentiment were tested, It would

IL is a discovery OF those wise and good
people-the Shakers. of Mt. Lebanon, n.
Y-called the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
It Is not a purgative, which at best gives
only transient relief. 1t Is in itself a d.

gestive function. You can eat and digest
your food while taking this cordial IL
helps you at once and soon makes the
stomach vigorous and healthy. IL IS not
like any other so-called dyspepsia cures.
1t is prepared by the Shakers principally
from herbs cultivated by them. They DO
not ask us to spend a dollar for a bottle
while we are I'm The dark as TO its vir
tues. They take that risk themselves.
Almost any druggist will sell you trial
bottle for ten cents. so that you can see
whether il is what they say-and adapted
to your case. And isn't the mere chance
TO a cure worth that much?

PRIMARY FOR SENATOR.

The suggestion has been made that the
convention to be held In Roanoke pn
August 18th, endorse the plan 10 select
Senators hereafter by a primary election
Some opposition has been found which
claims that the time is too short between
this and the date Of the convention.
Were this some new question with which
the people Of this State were not con-
yersant 1t would seem that the time was
indeed too short, but as almost all oil the
delegates who have been chosen 10 the
convention know that no plan Of this char'
acter could initiate against senator
Daniel who will certainly succeed himself
II seems TO us that the plan would be
wise one.
II 1t is too late to make II operative TINS
fall. why not endorse the general pro-
position and make it effective two years
from now?
The Times has always advocated the
election Of United State Senators by the
people. and has never believed that the
constitutional provision making the Leg
islatures responsible for them, intended
that they should not be in the closest
possible representative relationship with
the people they served.
We have applauded the efforts of ex-
Congressman Tucker in the House OF Re
representatives. 10 have the Constitution
amended in this respect and our convic-
ton is that the election OF the Senator'S
by the people direct would prove desirable
in every State in the Union.
We have hoped 10 see this change in
the practice OF senatorial selections made
by change of the Constitution, but as
that seems remote. and necessarily has 10
run the gauntlet of the Senators them
selves, being thus further removed from
probability, we favor the primary system
and believe that the Democrats Of this
State would do well to provide it in all
elections that follow this one which by
common consent will be rendered TO SEN
ator Daniel.

sw,SpLEs IN THE NAME OF GOLD.

=
The papers all over the country nave
promptly given TO their readers the story
OF the Klondike region. with its prospects
OF gold and its innumerable drawbacks
They have told how few ever succeed IN
finding gold In profitable quantities, and
OF tho long dreary winters OF intense coiu
crowded with all the hardships that foi-
Low the absence Of every single comfort
Of home and civilization. The expense
and the long and perilous journey have
haer faithfully portrayed, and those who
go with the knowledge Of these facts ac-
cept the true situation, and determine 10
ob,de by the consequences, and with them
no one is disposed 10 argue for they nave
been informed.
There seems. however, to be already
schemes on foot that are destined to
create great deal more trouble and work
at least greater financial losses than Will
attend any Of the actual pilgrims TO the
gold fields. These schemes viii consist or
tho Incorporation of mining companies,
with reputed assets. whose formidable
looking certificates of stock with glitter
ing seals will entrap the unwary into
worthless speculations.
Already companies are being formed
which require only the payment of dol
lar or two 10 insure the purchaser an
Interest in the property which II will
take up or stake of in the far away fields
Of Alaska.
The rainbow encircled prospectus of
these companies recites the fact that all
cannot go to the mines. but all can hold
! common interest, and through the in
huential medium Of a few dollars become
part owners and sharers in the certain
substantial returns which they are just
sure 20 reap from their wise and prudent
researches and manipulations.
Many people will be taken in by these
nattering promises. They for various
reasons cannot go themselves, but why
not chance a dollar or two when the pros
pect Of an holding in great and inexhaus-
tiblo mines of marvellous richness is Of
fored TO them?
Many poor man argues that his dol
lar is not much and a prospect Of thous-
ands is something not to be ignored. Do
not throw your dollar away, it may not
