"Owoman lovely woman nature made
thee to temper man we had been brutes
without you" Woman more than merits
all the good things that have been said of
her by the wits and poets of all times.
When man lauds woman and her charms
and virtues, he has in his minds eye an
ideal. That ideal is always healthy wo-
man. No man makes pretty speeches and
witty toasts about woman, with the picture
in his mind of weak, sickly, nervous wo-
man, tortured by pain, and suffering from
depression and dependency. 1t is in the
power of every wornanto be some mans
ideal if she will but build up and guard
her womanly health.
The best Of known remedies for all forms
of disease peculiar to women is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Itworks directly on
but one set of organs in a woman's body.
1t allays and eradicates pain. 1t soothes in
flammation. 1t invigorates and purifies. 1t
restores complete health to the organs dis
tinctly feminine and banishes weakness,
depression and dependency. 1t is the dis
covery of Dr. R. " Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalid's Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. If you wish to
know more about it write to him.
"This is to tell you," writes Sister Eliza L. de
Falcon of Corpus Christi, Nueces Co., Texas
that had been i'll for twenty one years and
was finally cured by your medicines, the Golden
Medical Discovery and 'Favori;e Prescription"
1t is as easy to be well as ill-and much
more comfortable. Constipation is the
cause of many forms of illness. DR.. Pierce's

thing that enters into the poor mans

gains of monopolies and trusts, it re-
fused to levy, a penny of tax which
these same trusts and monopolies
would have to pay out of their own

Republicans, such as Aldrich in the
senate and Dingley himself in the
house, that this bill would be another
breeder of deficits. 1t went ahead, car

SITUATION IN IOWA.
e. v. Smal1ey Says the Campaign
Has Warmed Up.

e. V. Smalley, general secretary of
the National Sound Money league, re-
turned home yesterday from Iowa,
where he has been on the stump for
week. He says that the campaign in
that state has warmed up a good deal
during the past two weeks and that
both parties are now holding large
meetings
"The silver men have no eXpecta-
tions of success said Mr.. Smalley to
the G o b last night, "but they hope
to reduce the great majority of $1,000
given by Iowa for Mckinley last year,
so as to make it appear that free coin
age is gaining ground in the West and
is still a live issue. In some counties
tallic ticket; in others, the fusion
ticket and in still others it apears un-
der the simple name Of silver. The
term Democratic has pretty much dis
appeared from the canvass. Besides
the Republican and free silver parties
there are four minor parties in the
field. The Prohibitionists expect to
poll 10000 votes; the gold Democrats
will probably show up 1000 or 5000;
the Social Labor party, composed
mainly of socialists in the river towns,
will have 1000 or 1000, and the middle
of f-the-road Populists, who refused to
join in the fusion with the Democrats
and who are now contending in the
courts for the right to use the name
Of Peoples party and to have their
ticket printed on the official ballots,
will muster few thousand.
"Shaw, the Republican candidate for
governor" continued Mr.. Smalley,
''and White, the Silver Democratic
nominee, are both good speakers, and
are on the stump all the time. Sena-
tors Allison and Gear and all the Iowa
congressman are also stumping assid
uously and the state is filed with ora
tory from the Mississippi to the Mis-
souri,.
Congressman McCleary Of Mime
sofa, has done excellent work in the
canvass, as has also William D. By
mum, chairman of the National Demo-
cratic committee. 1t is probable that
both of the principal parties will eX-
perience a falling off in their big vote
OF last year, and indications point to
the success of the sound money Re
publicans by majority Of about 10000
over the silver Democrats. Many of
the Democrats think it was a mistake
for their party leaders to permit Bryan
to force the silver question into the
canvass. and that they would have
been much stronger if they had insist
ed in carrying out their original pro-
gramme of making the fight on state
issues"

ment that the gates are open. Men
everywhere who have been employed
in the prison at Saltwater, or who,
having been justly imprisoned there,
have since returned to honest lives, but
carry with them the horrible memories
of experiences there, say that the

might be said. They say that, If the
inmates of the prison could be pro-
tected against such vengeance as has
been taken upon them in the past when
they dared to make complaints, they
would reveal facts shocking to the
whole community. They say that the
administration of discipline there has
been Systematically unfair and brutal
We ask only the fullest and fairest
hearing We demand that the state
board of corrections and charities, who
are prominent and honorable men, and
within whose Jurisdiction these things
have happened, join in the investiga-
ton and insist upon their right and
their duty to participate. We call
upon the governor to do his part in
seeing that proper tribunal is consti-
tuted. We want no inquiry by men
who have rushed into print, in
advance of investigation or knowl-
edge, to say that charges which
rest upon sworn affidavits are not
true We say that the burden of
proof is placed at the outset upon the
prison authorities, by the fact that an
investigation six years ago showed that

| chief complaint is made, was unfit to
hold his office. No man of whom such
conduct was proved as appears in the

IS 1T POSSIBLEf

The government gold reserve is now over
1000 and steadily gaining, but the
treasury is losing other forms of currency,
and will be obliged to pay out gold on cur
rent account if the revenue deficiency con-
tinues.-Minneapoiis Tribune.
The reader of this will rub his eyes
and wonder if it is really the month
of October, 1897, in which he reads
these words, instead of year or even
with our Republican friends and their
system? Is not the Dingiey bill in full
swing? Have we not got rid of Demo
cratic free trader" Are not the indus
tries of the country pushing to the
front under the relief afforded by the
repeal of that dreadful Democratic
tariff act? Is not the Advance Agent
of Prosperity in the white house,
and have not all his supernumeraries
announced that the curtain is rung up
and the play on the boards? Did we
not have a special session of congress
for the express purpose of curing reve-
nue. difficulties, killing deficits and fill
ing the treasury? Were we not told
take up the financial question because
it's first duty was to pass a tariff bill
that would give the government ample
income to meet all its expenses? Have
not the changes been rung on that sin
gle issue day after day for months and
months, telling us that the Republican
party could not do anything else for
the country until it had stopped the
deficit and levied taxes that would
keep the treasury full?
These questions are not inspired by
partisan feeling or the desire to en-
barrass a political opponent, but they
are drawn from the universal attitude
and utterances of Republican leaders
and Republican newspapers through
out the country for months and years.
| This administration pinned all its for
tunes to the revenue question The
| treasury deficit has been the central
point of attack about which all the
Republican armies were gathered; and,
| if they have not relieved that situation,
they have shirked their whole duty.
AS the above extract confesses, they
have made absolute failure Of the one
thing which they promised to do; the
enc thing which they declared to be
so important that everything else must
give way to it. They have not cured
he deficit; their Dingley bill does not
| produce revenue sufficient to support
