duly Feed Man and steed.-

Feed your nerves, also, if you would
have them strong. The blood is the
feeder and sustainer of the whole
nervous system. Men and women
who are nervous are so because their
nerves are starved. When they make
their blood rich and pure with Hoods
Sarsaparilla their nervousness disap-
pears because the nerves are proper
iy fed. Hoods Sarsaparilla never

FOURTH MATCH OF LADIES.
Mrs. PIERCE Wins Yesterdays Golf Contest
at Arsenal.

at Arsenal.
The heat yesterday afternoon had
the effect of reducing somewhat the
entry list of the fourth preliminary
tournament for the women's handicap
cup at the Arsenal Golf club. 1t
failed, however, to reduce the enthusi-
asm or to interfere with the good play
of those who did enter, and the result
was one of the closest matches of the
year. Mrs. Skinner, Mrs Martin and
Mrs. Peirce all made the round in the
excellent gross score of 81, the latter
winning with her handicap allowance.
The summary of the score indicates
the closeness of the contest, the first
eight players finishing within five

DEMOCRACY'S DISMAL FUTURE.

A WASHINGTON writer in the Baltimore SUM- after a
~ careful review OF the situation, has to the con-
Clusion that there is no hope OF Democratic success
in national contests under present leadership and
thus comments upon the present state OF the party:
at would require gift OF prophecy not less than Divine
for any to forecast successfully any policy opportunity
of the Democratic party this uncure its fortunes likely
to be awaited Of The multiplicity and the divisions OF its
ellis obscure too darkly the road to victory.
'For many many years, with the exception of two
intervals of reason its numberess opportunities have been
wlully thrown away by its leaders. The exceptions
entail really credit upon Them the results were due
entirely the rank and file of the party rising indignant
might and passing them BY No political party had such
true consistent devoted sincere enthusiastic followers no
party such unworthy and incapable leaders.
"In the old days party of great and glorious
achievements, but how dismal how despair-producng its
recent record The men who manage its affairs have
placed the wrong side of nearly all the foremost
of the day. and the two propositions which might be
made appeal popular approval would be promptly cop-
peed by the and of the other side There
numbeess political doctors in the party who will be
quite ready prescribe infinite variety specifics but
their will only increase the debility under which the
party labors.
"There can be no hope that the who control the
organization will themselves do permit any else do
anything rehabtae it. There is method which opens
fair and bright pursued Should the party by one supreme
and still insist upon leading defeat and destruction ard
replace them with of live thought and action there would
be promise indeed
"Otherwise, unless tremendous political earthquake
tidal of which present have the fanest
conception inervenes, the party may Just well sit with
folded hands, waiting until the incapables whose touch is
poison and whose embrace is death, disappear.

VIE Senate Committee Finance is to consider the
currency question under a resolution adopted Just
before the close of the last session 1t is likely that
this consideration will merely take the form of a con-
suaton among the Republican members with reference
the program outlined by the Caucus Committee of the House
at the Atlantic City conference. The policy of the Caucus
Committee included declaration for the gold Standard the
aggregation of greenbacks redeemed in gold the issue
banknotes 10 the par value of the securities deposited and
the authorization Of banks with capital This plan
far from radical and believed to with the favor Of the
President. 1t is step in the right direction.

party. Narrow and blind indeed must be the man who can
not find much for approval in the way the affairs of State
being managed under the administration of Governor
Lowndes. There is Improvement all along the line
and has there been higher standard regarding the
efficiency of State officials 1t business and polit-
Cal administration The best interests of the State have
always been considered and what has been accomplished
every handn the improvement of the public

finances whereby the State has been relieved of the burden
of nonpoduCve assets the public loans have been CONSOLE
dated and refunded decreased of interest Increased
of have been discovered and in fact the

Should Governor Lowndes and Comptroller Golsborough lie

have proven them to be true and tried.
