AIDED BY MRS. PINKH.AAL.

Mrs. w. f. PAXTON, Youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
glc to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINkHAM:-It is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves Of your val
liable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. L had leucorrhDa badly, and q
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks
took medicine from good doctor,
but 1T seemed to do no good. / waa
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when read your advertisement in a
paper. / sent ut once for bottle of
Lydia j.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two thirds of
the bottle 1 felt so much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and we'll as any
one.
think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet SUI
fcring from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinlham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs Pinlkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham S

Captain Dreyfus. Then the deputy
chief OF the political force charged the
general staff with having suppressed
and misrepreseuted an oilcial report
which was in Captain Dreyfus' favor
and with having further tempered Win

disproved, but. on the contrary, were
practically admitted to be true

Of that put forward by the blind par
aIytic Muller about his discoveries IN
the private apartments of the German
embassy. Here is man whom nobody
ever heard Of before, and for whose
credibility no one now TOuches, telling
what certain high diplomatic and mil
ttary officials OF various powers re-
vealed to him, but, Of course, wholly
unable to tell who those officials were
or to give any tangible support of his
testimony Any enc who can believe
such stuff as that can believe anything.
Yet the putting forward of it was the
grand coup for which the prosecution
has been preparing. and which 1t lit
orally sprung upon the court at what it
deemed the psychological moment.
Whatever may be the fate Of Captain
Dreyfus, there is no question that the
military clique which is prosecuting
him has by its own acts and avOWals
discredited itself in the eyes of the
world beyond all hope Of rehabilitation

Political matters on the other side
Of the world are in an interesting and
unsettled condition, and it is a matter
Of speculation one day what the next
may develop.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, colonial
secretary of the British empire, is en-
gagged in diplomatic controversy with
President Kruger at Pretoria, which
the latest advices indicate may result
in a war. How such an event might
terminate is gravely problematlcaI.
Either Mr.. Chamberlain or President
Kruger must recede from their chosen
position or war will follow.
In Germany the conservative party
for the first time in fifty years, has
thwarted the cherished purpose Of the
emperor. To dissolve the reichstag in
order to get rid of the offenders would
leave him without a party.
The car of Russia in addition to his
usual amount of trouble at home is
mixed up ir a rather unsatisfactory dis
cussion with China, which incidentally
arouses resentment on the part of Eng
land. His fear Of the much talked
Anglo-Saxon alliance also has quite
likely induced him TO take a sly hand
in the Alaskan boundary question.
But these are matters which appear
less serious than the political situation
in France. The wonderful case now Oh
trial there can hardly be settled, no
matter what the verdict, without seri-
Gus results. Nine-tenths of the French
people believe Dreyfus is guilty, and
this BELIEF is not based on proof. To
clear him is to condemn the army, and
France must depend upon her generals
and soldiers; at least, such is the feel
ing in that politically isolated country.
If Dreyfua is convicted, an outbreak of
the anarchists is certain. If he is ac-
quilted, the present French government
will probably fall. Taken all in all, our
European neighbors seem to have trou-
bles of their own.

though the Atlanta Constitution is a
strong democratic newspaper and dem
ocratic policy is not always as patriotic
as it should be, it sharply rebukes the
Bryans, the Atkinsons and the Bout
wells who are encouraging the Philip
pine savages TO continue the conflict.
The Constitution says:
Who could be so craven as to give
the poltroon advice that our men should
retire under fire, bUshwhacked in the
rear by enemies either abroad or at
home? Is it possible that in the reaIiza-
tlon OF the fact that our boys from
north to south, from east to west.
under the broiling sun of the antipodes,
stood with determined front to the foe,
there should be at home either demo-
crat or republican. contractfonist or ex-
panslonist-any line other than Amer
lean citizenship, who would not pray
Tor victory for those brave sons of
ours No question of politics, no
trimming of sails, no debating of de-
tails, but gOdspeed and triumph for the
men on the firing line. That is the poll
cy, the spirit, the grit which patriotism
calls for!
The Constitution is a democratic
newspaper, differing with the admins
ration and the policy Of President Nc
kinley in so far as it relates to repub-
1can issues. The Constitution is an
american newspaper. and has no bull
let's to fire into the backs of the men
who are awaiting AguinaIdo's attack.
This illustration completely defines our
position IN regard to the present phase
OF the Philippine question.
