THE TWO LINES OF GOVERNMENT.

There seems to be but two lines Of
government in vogue, or even possible,
namely, justice and injustice; or equality
of rights and opportunities and in
equality or favoritism, In the one case
Justice is the rule, and in the other
favoritism in the shape of special
privileges, chartered rights, privileged
classes, franchises, etc.
These two lines continue even in this
country, where we should have a gov
ernment of the people, by the people
and tor the people. Ofcourse the astute
tricksters give their schemes good
names, claiming these will benefit the
public. In fact these men ever work
for the public good, but the good must
come through them.
The two most prominent schooling
periods in our history probably were
those of Jefferson and Jackson The
overthrow OF old federalism with its
despotic and foolish aims Was Il great
triumph; and the overthrow OF the
United States bank by Jackson was also
victory, greater than that at New
Orleans, for as John Million says,
peace hath her victories not less re-
nowned than war"
Mr., Jefferson, with his common sense
and just and righteous ways, disarmed
prejudice, and captivated the people
and swept the country at his reelection
in 1904. His aim was "a plain and
simple government that shall not take
from the mouth OF labor, the bread it
has earned" His aim was TO carry ont
the Constitution which he had orn to
maintain, support and defend. His test
in appointing to Office was: "Is he
honest, is he capable, is he faithful to
the constitution. He regarded that
instrument as our bond of union which
must be venerated and obeyed by all.
General Andrew Jackson was also
man true to duty, and determined to
obey the constitution as his oath of
office required 1t 80 happened that
the charter of the United States Bank
was about to expire, and Jackson find.
ing no warrant in the constitution for
granting a charter for such corporation
proclaimed his views in his message,
giving his reasons therefor. The CON.
test was waged for years, and became
fierce and furious. The bank, with all
its power Of money took the field in
1882 against Jeckson's reelection; but
the old hero came out victorious by
great majority. Jackson's messages
were documents Of power, and his mes
sage vetoing the bank bill in 1882 was
document of unquestionable ability and
power The bank leaders rushed the
bill through Congress, thinking a veto
would tefeat Jackson; but they badly
missed their calculation.

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter of importance
In every woman's life. Much pain Is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
In truth IL Is all wrong and indicates

trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will

The foundation of woman's health ia
q perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
In every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel like
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full meustruation and leucorrhea. I
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
I never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. 1 now wish to say that never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me Of leucorrhea. hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
us many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

SOLDIER TRIED TO SUICIDE.
Had Lost Voice and Hearing as the
Result of Fever-The Sick
Taken Ashore.

New YORK, Aug. 29.-Sixty OF the
worst cases Of sick soldiers were re.
moved from the transport San Marcos
yesterday morning, which had arrived
from the south.
Nearly all the men are convalescents
from the general army hospitals at Key
West and Tampa. The men taken off
were distributed as follows:
Ten to the New York hospital, one to
Governors island and the remainder
to Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth.
Very few of the men were able to walk.
The scene, as the men were led or car
ried down the sea ladder and lifted on
to the General Meigs, was pathetic in
the extreme. The men could not be
transferred on stretchers, and, clad in
pajamas, their emaciated forms were
carried down the plank.
Private Stephen Easton, Troop X,
First volunteer cavalry, was the only
man landed at Governor S island, as the
field hospital on the island is crowded.
He is suffering from melancholia, having
lost his voice and hearing as the result
Of fever contracted while serving before
Santiago. During the trip to this city
he made attempts to end his life and
had to be guarded.

OUR STATE CONVENTION.
A Very Good Ticket and Harmonious
Work.

A Very Good Ticket and Harmonious
Work.
There is no disputing that the Demo-
cratic state convention at Dayton, on
the 23rd and Oath, was great success,
in all and singular.
The proceedings we're harmonious and
the business promptly disposed Of and
a good ticket wac nominated. The
platform endorses the Chicago national
platform Of 1898 and also our noble
champion, William Jennings Bryan,
naming him for 1900.
The ticket was nominated quickly,
and in noble spirit of harmony. As
to locality the candidates are well ar
ranged, and they are gentlemen worthy
of all confidence. The followingis the
ticket:
secretary Of state, Upton K. Guthrey,
OF Marion.
Judge Of supreme court, Hugh g.
Nichols, OF Clsrmont.
Clerk of supreme court, David S,
Fisher, Of Delaware county.
Food and dairy commissioner, John
Baker Of Hancock,
Member Of the board Of public works,
T. Dwight Paul of Summit county,
David s. Fisher, for clerk Of supreme
court is former Canton boy and serv.
ed faithful period of eight years in the
Office Of the Stark County Democrat
He left us in 1860 to take charge of the
Allen County Democrat at Lima. He
was elected enrolling clerk Of the state
senate last winter and has served in
such capacity several times. We hope
to see Mr.. Fisher and the whole ticket
elected.
The reference in the platform to the
recent war with Spain is entirely proper
and patriotic. The position taken OF
colonial expansion Is eminently con
servative and safe. The work of the
convention, take it all in all, is highly
satisfactory, both as to platform ant
candidates.

Citizens Of the U United States may well
be proud of the American navy. In
the revolution even there were cases OF
note. The remarkable victory of Paul
Jones of the British coast, who wss
greatly overmatched and his ship sank
as he climbed into the enemy's ship.
When Perry WAS sent to Lake Erie he
had to go into the woods, cut down
trees, saw the lumber by hand, and dur.
ing the winter built his boats with
which he fought and gained the battle
OF Lake Erie.

A VICIOUS MONEY SYSTEM.

A vicious money system has been the
curse Of this and other countries.
1t is not to be denied that this vicious
system has enriched the benefciaries,
the schemers, but has brought disaster
and ruin generally.
Establishing by law the single gold
standard, thus narrowing the monetary
basis, confning redemption to gold
alone, thus giving but one dollar with
which to redeem thirty or more, and SO
contracting all values, and strandirg us
on the rocks of iniquity and bankruptcy.
This ligature binds humanity to the
car that sweeps to doom and death, and
as yet there Is no change indicated in
the policy. 1t is not believed the wrong
will sway forever. When the people
are fairly awake and get together, mat
ters will move and change and improve.
ment will come.
This worldwide rascality has pros
trated justice, and the usurers get in
their work. The money changers have
taken possession of the temple, but the
people is the power to scourge them out.
In every direction we see "legalized
inequality" The transportation
power" is monopoly OF imperial and
imperious extent that helps to enslave
the producer and consumer both.
But our money system is a grievou3
oppression, menace to honest rfo
and human happiness. Our government
issues and recognizes two kinds OF
money, but one is the tyrant king, and
the other the mere servile slave with DO
power to redeem. The latter is Tor the
toilers and business drudges of society,
the former for the sacred nobility few.
Is 1t any wonder we have the palace
and the cottage side by side? Any
wonder that we have millionsires and
paupers2
Our government was not designed to
be one of favoritism, and yet this is
what it has become. Our tariff taxa
ton is shaped to benefit some and OPP
press and rob the rest OF the people
Our monetary system is vicious, for it is
also arranged to give advantages to the
favored few,and of course placing others
at disadvantage.
These wretched and oppressive sys-
tens of favoritism must be abandoned,
or we must cease to claim this is a
government of the people for the peo-
pie. We must return to the Constitu-
ton and to righteous and just lines of
legislation, or become more and more a
nation of millionaire lords and serfs.

ALGER BLAMES THE MEN

EVerything-Clalms General Shat
ter Did Well.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Secretary Of
War Alger, in an interview, defends
the administration of his department.
He places the blame for the horrible
condition of the camps on the shoul.
ders of the officers in charge of those
camps. Secretary Alger says that
neither he, the surgeon general, the
quartermaster general nor the commits.
sary general should be held RESPONSE
BILE, and that il is an outrage to blame
them. He declares they have filled
every requisition that has been made
and supplied every necessity or luxury
that has been asked for.
The secretary hopes that congress
will investigate all the charges made.
He would order an investigation him
self, but fears the people would say
that it was made by interested persons.
He was indignant at the charges made
against him, saying in part:
1--WE have an army of 250,0O0 in the
field, scattered from Manila TO Porto
Rico, yet the press of the country ap-
pears to think that the secretary Of
war should locate every camp and dig
every sink for the men. 1t is ridicu-
lOus."
"Who was responsible for the attack
on Santiago before supplies were
landed"

owes a large debt Of gratitude to him
for having done so, If he had not or.
dered the advance we would have been

the city.
General Sumner, General Wheeler,

and won the day was General Shafter S
insistence upon making the advance
while our men were strong and in good
condition.

is POVERTY A CRIME?


crime may well be considered these
days, in this country. When we see
legislation controlled as it is, and elec-
tiors carried as they are, American
citizens who believe in government Of
and for the people should see the dan.
ser.
The result of our evil modes and NAL.
administration is seen in the rapid roll
ling of wealth into few hands and the
conseq lent impoverishment OF the rest
Of the people.
This result is brought about by a
total disregard of the rights Of man, the
right Of life and equal opportunity, and
just law preservstive of these.
Startling incidents Of late years leads
one to ask: Is poverty a crimeP Is
wealth the important qualification for
high official position? And is servile
worship Of and obedience thereto, also a
desirable quality? If so, say so.
Another point In this connection,
which il more and more demanding our
attention, is the fact that representa-
tives oftentimes misrepresent. 1t has
happened that men elected on plat.
forms heed them not, indeed going con.
trary TO the text. This does not indi-
cate government of, by and for the
people.
1t has been said that man "dressed in
little brief authority cuts fantastic
tricks before high heaven" and we
might add betrays his trust and the
people whose agent he isl
Does it not behoove sensible, patrio-
tic Americans to unite and act together
in order to rescue and save?
Wien we see, as we have, some huge
monopoly, or several combined, control
a state in order to displsce an able,
honest statesman, and get in a supple,
servile tool of their own. it is time for
the people to take alarm and unite for
their own salvation. In such CAGES one
ounce of preventive is better than a
pound, after the fetters have been forged
and riveted.
The history of the Union Pacific is a
case in point, and it is one full of in
struction. here is company that was
given franchise and liberal donations
OF ground, and money raised on endors-
ed bonds, gifts of Congress and the
executive acting for the American
people, and this company not satisfied
with all this, have made themselves
multI-millionaires by schemes OF grasp
ing greed and robbery.
But in this and numerous other ways,
has our government been used of late
years to lend itself to schemes of plum
der to benefit individuals and combines.
