What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease
pravails in this country, dangerous
because so deceptive. 1t comes on so
slowly yet surely that it is often firm
" seated before we are aware oft.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages
is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated
by pain in the back, rheumatism,
lumbago. frequent desire to urinate,
often with burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant
with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches
the Second stage, or Bladder trouble,
with heavy pain in the abdomen low
down between the navel and the water
passage, increasing desire to urinate,
with scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary TO
draw it with instruments. If uric
acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous il neglected.
The Third stage is Brights Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that
Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and
bladder specialist, has discovered q
Remedy famous for its marvellous
cures of the most distressing cases

Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as the men. The womb is stu
ated back of and very close to the blad-
der. and for that reason any distress, dis
ease or INCONVENIENCE manifested in the
kidneys, back or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside for
"a hours; a sediment or settling is evil
dence that your kidneys need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the
back, pass water too frequently or scanty
supply, with smarting or burning these
are also convincing proofs of kidney
trouble. If you have doctored without
benefit, try DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root
the greatest and the best kidney medi-
cine. The mild and extraordinary eff
feet of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you
need medicine you should have the
best. Sold 10y druggists, price fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free by
mail, upon receipt of three two-cent

Gov. Pingree's Special Session.

When the special session of the leg
islature was called by Governor Pin
gree, the Northerner said that, in its
opinion, it required great stretch of the
imagination to see in the relationship of
the railroads to the state of Michigan,
any extraordinary occasion" warranting
the special session. The Northerner
fails yet to see that any extraordinary
occasion" did exist and now the people
of the state will have to go down in their
pockets to pay for the governors play for
political capital AS was almost certain
be the case, the governors taxation
measure failed to pass. the legislature.
At the regular session, the governors pet
measures were promptly turned down"
in the senate, and there was no reason to
hope or expect that the temper of that
body had changed. Absolutely nothing
has been accomplished by thespecial SEES
sion for the relief of the taxpayers: indeed
their burdens are increased by the heavy
cost of the special session.
Regardless of the merits of the govern
or's measure in itself, the calling of a
special session to consider it was uncalled
for and unwise. The Northerner has no
fight with Governor Pingree, butwe have
no hesitancy in criticising his action in
the matter of the special session.

The Presidents Message.

President McKinley's message on the
Cuban situation went TO congress Mon
day. With the "iingoes," it is unpopu-
lar, in that it does not usurp the prerog
alive of congress and declare war on
Spain, or at least make such positive re
commentator as to practically force
congress TO the issue. With the sober
thinking people the message is com
mended as a fair, judicial statement OF
the situation and wise reference of the
matter To congress for action.
The best editorial comment on the
message we have read is in the Detroit
Free Press. We would gladly copy il
entire had we space to do So We cannot
refrain from giving the following pat ex
tract

The new village board of Decatur met
Monday evening. The board is now
for the first time in many years composed
entirely of silver democrats. Much in
terest was manifested in the appointment
of marshal and nightwatch, there being
several candidates for each Office. Nor
man Hamlin was appointed marshal and
Frank Baxter nightwatch. The board
created sensation by appointing a com
mittee to investigate the cost of putting
in an electric light plant preparatory to
the calling of a special election to vote
to bond the village for that purpose.
The special election will probably be held
before the first of June.

THE ELECTION AND SILVER.

When Col. Bryan studies the election
returns he ought very quickly to
realize that Tuesdays voting has. in all
probability. put an end to his prospect of
being the next Democratic Presidential
candidate. Bryan represents free silver
and very little else and for him to
have any chance of securing the
nomination free silver must be kept
to the front as the leading issue. But
the returns from the far West show that
free silver has lost is grip upon the
voters, and is no longer a cry to conjure
with. In Bryan's own state silver senti-
ment has abated to such an extent as to
change a Populist majority of 10000 two
years ago into Republican majority ap-
preaching 100000 The vote Of Tuesday
makes it Ger tain that on free silver
issue the Democrats would be beaten out
of sight all over the west. They were
beaten on it in the east two years ago,
and every body knows that the opposition
is not less strong now than it was then.
Had the silver issue been the prominent
one all over the country Tuesday as it
was two years ago the Democrats would
have lost every northern state with the
possible exception of Montana and Color
ado. Unless they have taken leave of
their senses entirely the Democrats are
not going to espouse cause and identify
themselves with it in national CAM
paign, knowing that it inevitably means
disastrous defeat. Democrats never in.
tentionally go into the business of making
nartys of them selves. When they accept
ed.free silver two years ago they thought
il was wining card. When they know
that it is not, as they surely will two
years hence, th ey will drop it with little
ceremony. And when free silver is
dropped Bryan lie dropped also. They go
together.
Tuesdays election sounded the death
knell of free silver as national campaign
issus. Henceforth the Democrats will
take less and less interest in the present
and future of the Hon. William Jennings
Bryan.

What the election shows is a fayorite
theme, for the newspapers now, and the
upshot of their views on this subject is that
the election shows just about what one
wants it to show. The Repub II cans find
in it an endorsement of the administra-
ton, while the Democrats are just as Ger.
tain that the reduction of the Republican
majority in the House was by way Of re-
buking it. lmperialists point to Ethe fact
of Roosevelt's election on platform of
expansion as proof that the Empire State
is in favor Of holding the Philippines.
The anti imperialists are certain that if
Roosevelt had not stopped talking about
imperialism and pushed state issues to
the front he would have been beaten. A
rebuke for Algerism is discovered
by the newspapers that have been pitch
ing into the Secretary of War, and the
New York Herald interprets tile reduction
of the Republican majority in the House
as meaning that thu country disapproyed
the preference given to tariff legislation
over legislation on the currency.
