When wear begins to exceed repair in your
body you are going to fall sick. The signs of
it are: Loss of flesh, paleness. weakness,
nervousness, etc. The repair needed is food.
You think you eat enough, and vet you feel
that you wear out more tissue, energy, nerve
force, than your food makes for You. The
difficulty is that you do not digest enough.
And this is SO serious it is worth sitting down
seriously to think about If you can't digest
gestive Cordial. The effect of it will be to in
crease your flesh and make you feel stronger
You won't fall sick. Proof that it is in con-
troll of your repair apparatus. It's easy
enough to test this for yourself. Take few

Mr.. OOX'S DEFEAT.

TEE Cincinnati ADVOCATE has the
following to say OF Mr. GEORGE B. Cox
whose candidates were defeated re.
Gently in the municipal elections at
Cincinnati, o:
The Negro, like the Germans, Irish.
Hebrews or other classes Of people are
only human after all There is no de-
nying the fact that George B Cox has
been the best friend to the cblored
politicians that we ever had in this
city. Every office in the courthouse
has representative colored clerk
There are several in the city hall. Had
Mr.. Cox's ticket been successful last
Monday there would have been more
clerks appointed. Mr.. Cox has given
the colored men fair consideration for
services rendered.
Our only complaint against Mr.. Coz
ia that he did not give our people as
good places as he might have done
There is VIM copeland, for example
who has been true and faithful to the
boss there is Mr.. Hill and others that
we might name, men of ability and
worth, men who have the respect O,
the community and who have q large
colered following, now why could not
Mr.. Ce1.eland been appointed on one
OF the boards that control the cit,
government? Why could not Nr. AL
been appointed TO some position OF
IL ust and responsibility, with a decent
salary attached to it ? 1t strikes Us
that Mr.. Cox, like other white men
thinks that position worth $1,000 ,
year is enough for a colored man. Nov
il these are facts about Mr. Cox. wha
are we to expect from the citizens?
We do not see that the complain
urged is any legitimate complaint a
all. He could not appoint every col
ored man to office.
Be be Democrat or Republican
Populist or Prohibitionist, men of MI
Cox stripe should be supported b
Afro-Americans. We remember hir
as the staunch friend OF the lamente,
Captain FORD STITH, who unfortunate
ly has been laid away forever.
Far better defeat with a man Xix
Mr. Cox, than with victory in supper
of men who knew not Joseph"

And again:

"Fhe latest of these utterances is
from Governor Bloxham, of Florida.
He expresses his profound regret that
there have been lynchings in two ooun-
ties of his State since his incumbency.

of the Florida people to suffer in the

the difference between the savage and
the civilized being that the latter re-
sorts to courts of justice, so that when
life is taken, it IL an act of the law

methods of the savage in taking hu-
man life, where is it to end? Where
are we to draw the liner The Governor
then makes this telling point. Lynch

he adds, it will spread to every cause
the foundations of our social fabric
will be undermined, and mob law will
be enthroned as governing power.
This has been our contention AL
along and it is gratifying fact to us
that the people of the south are awak-
ening to the enormity of the offences
committed against civilization by those
alleging to be its protectors and de-
tenders.
Again it says:
sit is folly to argue that certain
crimes deserve summary punishment,
and that the brutes who commit those
audacious offences get no more than
their deserts, when they are swung up
to the first convenient limb. The first
answer to this is found in the remark
OF Governor BlOxham, that the taking
of human life by the law, rather than
by individuals is that which differen-
tiates civilization from barbarity. Oar
constitution guarantees to every man
accused of an offense, fair and inn
partial trial before a jury OF his peers,
the opportunity to produce evidences
in his defence, and to be represented
by counsel. Under the constitution of
a civilized nation, a man cannot COM

must also be taken into considerati. n
that the strongest sort OF circumstan-
