THE PEOPLE NOMINAL ED McGINN1s.

When j. B. McGinnls was nominat-
ed for commissioner of the second dis
trict by the Populist convention. a re-
port was started that the managers of
this paper were responsible for his
nomination. We stated, several times,
that the report was false and absurd.
and we thought the public understood
that the howl was started by two men
"a republican editor and a bolter-in
the hope of defeating McGinnis, but it
seems there are yet few who are be-
ing misled. The managers of this pa
per had neither the desire nor the DOW
or to say who should be nominated. We
did not believe that Mr.. McGlnnis
would receive the nomination, but af-
ter he received it, 1t became our duty
to support him because he is a true
PopulIst, clean man and fully compe-
tent to fill the office.
To prove that what we say is true.
we submit the following letters which
we received on Monday from two we'll
known PODuhsts of the district. These
letters show that Mr.. McGinnis was
the choice of majority of the Popu-
lists, and that there was nothing I'M
fair in his nomination:

TRAGEDY in REAL LIFE
. Graphic Story Concerning the Pate Of
a Young Lady.

Here Is a graphic narrative from real
life showing how many Of our friends
whom we love, may be on the verge Of a
great tragedy.
A young girl residing on Madison Ave
nue., New York, and who had been in
society but a short time, was preparing
to attend a grand ball for which great
preparations had been made. She was
in her own room on the second floor over
the parlor, and called down to her mother
regarding certain matters connected with
her new dress. The mother answered, but
received no response, nor did she receive a
word of reply to her continued answers. The
mother therefore climbed the stairs, and
found her daughter lying dead upon the side
of the sofa.
As is usual in all cases Of sudden death,
heart disease was assigned as the cause, but
a careful examination by competent physi-
clans revealed the terrible fact that the young
lady met her death from acute Bright's
disease of the kidney.
The above painful accident is related pre-
cisely as it occurred, the names of the parties
only being suppressed owing TO their prOmin.
ence. The story is related to impress the
fact of how many people there are, appar'
entity in good health and yet actually upon
the verge Of the grave. Kidney diseases are
the most deceptive aud the most dangerous
of all known complaints. Their subtle

In very many cases they assume the symp-
toms Of other diseases aud a vast number Of
headaches, coughs, chills, lack Of appetite,
sleeplessness and feverishness trace their
cause to deranged kidneys or disordered adj

Bright's disease is inherited, but acute
Brights disease, too often, arises from colds
and the closing Of the pores of the skin from
change Of weather.

effectually preventing it or checking it after
it has begun to fix its fangs upon the system.
That remedy is acknowledged by the medical
profession of the world, and is used in greater
qualities IN other countries than even in the
United States. 1t has become a household
remedy and it rich y deserves the reputation
it has secured. That remedy is Warmers
Safe Cure.
There are thousands of men and women
throughout the length and breadth of the
land who owe their prolonged lives and
present health to its faithful use. There are
women who were once pale, sallow and
sickly and suffering from painful complaints
peculiar to their sex, who are to-day bright,
rosy, healthful and grateful to the remedy
that has produced this remarkable change.
There are men who were once broken down,
l~istless, nerveless and Respondent, and who
are now in complete health, are able to at
tend to their duties without fatigue, who
glorify the power of Safe Cure. Among the
physicians throughout the world who speak
in the highest terms Of this great remedy are
DR.. William Robson, of England; Dr.. Boyer,
of Germany, and Drs. R. A. Gum and Dio
Lewis, of America. in speaking of this
great remedy, DIR. Robson, of England, said;
Il emphatically state that l have been able
to give more relief and effect more cures by
the use Of Warmers Safe Cure than by all
the medicines in the British Pharmacopgia."
If any man or woman who reads this is
suffering from any of the symptoms above
mentioned, and desires to avoid the fate that
is o%Yertaking so many worthy people, prompt
action should be taken at once. Bear this

FIXING" THE RATIO.
A Question Regarding the Govern
ment Control of Money.

The Bankers Magazine for March
finds the origin of our present troubles
about silver in the demand that the
ratio of its value to gold shall be deter
mined by the government. 1t is, how
ever, no proper part of the duty of the
government to try to fix the ratio OF
values of the two metals.
Being" says the Bankers Maya
zine, commodities as well as money,
and being commodities before and after
they are money, and being money SIM
ply and only because they are commodi-
ties, and being commodities because
they have recognized and intrinsic value
independent of any action of govern
ment, and even in the absence of gov
eminent, and being therefore severally
subject to all the laws of commodities,
the law of variable supply and demand
and value among others, and these vari-
atoms not being uniform for both met
ais, it is impossible that government
can ever fix the ratio of their value.
"If, however, it should be insisted
that it is the function and duty of gov.
eminent to (try toy fix the ratio of their
values, it would seem to follow as a
logical consequence that, since their
relative value depends absolutely on the
relative supply of the two metals it is
the primary and plain duty of govern
ment to fix (regulate) their supply by
controlling and operating the gold and
silver mines, the sources of their pro-
duction. 1t should do both things or
neither, and it is preferable that it
should do neither. 1t is folly to expect
it to do the former without doing the
latter"
This is the truth of the matter in
nutshell. Unless the government first
acquires all the mines in the world and
decides how much silver and how much
gold are to be produced yearly, it is i'm
possible to maintain a ratio after it is
fixed" France fixed" it 156 times,
but it would not stay fixed, and France
has at length abandoned the effort. The
United States has also tried the expert
ment several times without success. 1t
is time the theorists were letting the
matter alone.
