Nerves

Nerves extend from the brain to every part
of the body and reach every organ.
Nerves are like fire good servants but hard

Democratic ECONOMY The Result.

Some of the good effects OF skam
economy are being shown. The sys-
tenn of checks and balances in the
Treasury Department was the growth
of a century of experience, and so
perfect was the system that when TIE
Democrats came into power and Gag
erlv scanned the books they could
not find, where under twenty years OF
Republican rule, a dollar had been
stolen from the Treasury.
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, a Demo
cratic member of the house and a
Democratic economist, secured a COM
mission which evolved system that
was substituted for the old method
the method which grew up under
Democrats, Wings, and Republicans
This system would do away with a
few dozen clerks, and according to
Mr.. Dockery and his commission,
was therefore economical, at any rate
it would cause the discharge of a
number Of Republicans from the de
partment,
Some of the results of this system
are coming to light A clerk of the
auditor for the post-office has been ar
rested and held for trial for forging a
post-office money order, and the tes-
timony shows that under the present
system large amounts of money
could be stolen in this way.
Cheese pairing economy, which
saves at the faucet and lets the bung
hole run, does not pay.

The Wheeling Register is authority
for the announcement that Gen. Bill
st. Clair, of Fayette, has entered the
race tor Senator against Hon. Chas. J.
Faulkner. -Hampshire Review.
A more pleasing announcement
would be that Gen. St Clair had join
ed with Senator Faulkner in the effort
to recapture the West Virginia legis-
lature. We do not see very much in
sight to justify any Democrat being a
candidate against another for Senator.
AS the State now stands there's reason
tor such a contest among Republicans,
but until the State is once more safely
in Democratic hands it seems idle for
Democrats to contest with each other.

bicycle to become greasy and offensive

and then wiping them with a clean

In order to put a stop to loafing in
races the National Cyclists union of
England has made rule permitting
referees to place a time limit on races
and stop the riders in any part of the
course when the limit rs exceeded. II
the men refuse TO stop, but persist in
finishing the race. they have their IL
censes taken away from them. This
is the most drastic measure ever franz
ed to prevent loafing tactics.
The idea OF compelling the men to
stop at the half or three-quarter mark
in mile race when the limit has been
passed is designed to prevent wheel
and tire manufacturers from advertise
ing p winning event. which they have
been known TO do. even though the race
was declared void. This rule Is severe
enough TO be effective and a benefit to
the sport. provided proper Judgment is
exercised by referees in fixing the time
limit. Instances have been known on
this side where the time limit has been
considerably used. in which the time
named was so close to the worlds rec
ord that 1t was unfair to the men.
One possible complication which may
arise under the operation Of the new
rule is that of the time limit expiring
when the men are only ten yards from
the tape and approaching at full speed.
IL the pistol shot order to stop was
then given, II would be impossible for
the men TO obey. Their impetus would
then carry them across the tape and
render them liable TO suspension. but to
deprive any rider Of his license under
such circumstances would be manifest
ly unfair.
