Biliousness, dyspepsia, loss of appetite,
disturbed sleep, nervousness, headache,
giddiness and drowsiness, wind and pain
or fullness of the stomach after meals, cold
chills and hushings Of heat, shortness OF
breath-these are the blank cheques of
physical bankruptcy Take them to a
physician and he will fiji them up with the
name of some more or less serious disease.
Every time that you carry one OF them to
him you draw out some of your funds in
the Bank of Health. Keep it up, and there
will soon be no funds in the treasury.
The man who suffers from these dis
orders and neglects them will soon be in
the relentless grasp of some fatal disease.
If he is naturally narrow chested and shall
low luuged, it will probably be consump
ton; if his father or mother died OF par
alysis or some nervous trouble, it will
probably be nervous exhaustion or prostTa-
ton, or even insanity; If there is faint in
the family blood, it will be blood or skin
disease; if he lives in new or a low,
swampy country, it will be malaria; II he
lives life of exposure, it may be rheu-
matism There IS just one safe course for
q man to follow who finds himself out of
sorts and suffering from the symptoms
described. It is to resort to Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This medicine
makes the appetite keen, corrects all dis
orders of the digestion, renders assinila-
ton perfect, invigorates the liver, purifes
and euriches the blood and builds firm,
healthy flesh and nerve tissue. It cures
almost all diseases that result from insult
ficieut or improper nourishment of the
brain and nerves. Bronchial, throat and
even lung affections, when not toe far adj
vanced, readily yield to i,

The Hand of Fate,

The hand of fate seems to rest on
the family Of Richard Housner, at
Panama, whose son was killed in the
wreck at the Usage river Monday
afternoon. Two years ago the wife
and mother passed to the world be-
yond. followed q year later by son.
In the meantime another son lost
his mind and was sent to the asylum
where he now is. Last winter Mr.
Housner met with a serious accident
in the mines, and suffered a broken
leg and other injuries which laid
him up for many months, and now
another son is crushed TO death in a
railway wreck. Certainly fate is
against this family.
The death of young Lotus is, too,
especially sad, as several members
of his family met death in a manner
similar 10 which he did The father
had his life crushed out In the mines
some years since, and two years age
last Monday a brother met like
fate at the Wise Bros. miner h

EXPANSION,

Those who favor the imperial pol.
icy of the republican administration
endeavor to make it acceptable to
the people under the gui4e of expan-
sion But expansion Is one thing
and imperialism is an entirely differ
ent thing.
Legitimate expansion as illustrated
by the territory acquired under Jef
ferson, Monroe, Polk and Pierce
added about two thirds of the area
of the Union and supports over
20,000,000 people, hut imperialism
gives to this country a tropical
archipelago, peopled with 10000
savages, at cost of S2O,000,00O and
q terrible war.
Under the cIrcum stan ces IL Is not
to be wondered at that conservative
republicans, such as Boutwell, and
Burrows, see danger in imperialism,
nor is 1t matter for surprise that
the majority of the people are op-
posed to sucu a measure.
Senator Burrows has been made
the target of abuse by administrs
ton organs, but he stands manfully
to his guns and replies to his critics
as follows:
II only stated in the inter
view what have been my convictions
from the first So far the warfare
has ragged so miles north of Manila,
and only a few miles to the east
There are thousands Of miles yet tc
subdue, aud fully 100000 people
to subjugate. ] believe in terminal
ing the difficulty as soon as possible
and before many more lives have
been needlessly wasted I have sai6
nothing that deserves censure. I dc
not object to Legitimate expansion
It will be observed that Senator
Burrows draws distinction between
expansion and imperialism, and this
distinction is worthy of careful con
sideration.
No patriotic citizen objects to th'
Legitimate expansion OF the United
Statee, but all patriots will oppose
the abrogation of fundamental prin
ciples and the establishing O
monarchial methods in this grea
