In evcry civilized country rich and poor
alike have found restored health and new
yigor in Paine's celery compound.
"Hard-worklng people of ordinary
means are to he congratulated" says an
English writer in reviewing the scientific
work Of the last quarter Of o. century,
'upon having so easily within their
reach to-day a remedy which the wealth
TEST and most influential persons must
themselves use, if they would get the
best that modern medical skill offers.
Paines celery compound proves that the
science OF medicine has kept pace Win
the wonderful progress which charac-
terizes the life of the present genera
ton"
The astonishing reputation that this
most wonderful OF AN remedies has acc
qulred is principally due TO the word-of-
mouth recommendation and enforcement
Of men and women of the highest BUSH
ness and social standing. as well as of
those i'm humber but no less important
positions who have themselves discovered
IT'S merits.

Memory Of Gordon.

The fall OF Omdurman and the rout OF
the forces Of the Kalipa have done some
thing 10 wipe out the disgrace which at
,oched n the British nation. for the
Abandonment Of the heroic and blessed
Gordon TO his fate. IL is noteworthy that
the first act Of the commander OF the
Anglo-Egyptian Army after the raising
of the victorious standards on the palace,
was 10 have a memorial service for Cen

Thirteen years and 81 days after the
murder was this reparation made. All

THE sOUTH's POLITICAL NEED.

A recent article in The Times on the
need Of a strong minority party in the
South has attracted much attention
throughout the North and West and has
been reproduced in a number Of papers
throughout those sections Of the coun-
try. As a result. we have received a
personal letter from a student in the
Upper Iowa University at Fayette, Iowa,
in which he says:
In one Of your papers some time ago
YOU had an article saying the great
need of the South was a strong minority
party. You also said they would have
IL but for the peculiar conditions. What
do you call those conditions?
Can you give us any more statistics 70
show the lack Of interest in Southern
politics?
DO you think a scheme Of proportional
representation. as set forth I'm the en-
closed pamphlet would help the South
out OF her present difficulty?
Would any system of caucus reform
or primary election help you out OF your
political difficulty?
Are the southern minority represented
Justly In Congrtss by majority party from
North?
In reply 10 the first question, the
peculiar conditions" TO which refer
ence is made. are. as everybody in the
South well knows. conditions growing
out OF unrestricted negro suffrage. The
South had a taste OF negro rule in the
days of reconstruction, which her people
will not easily forget. Ii was found that
their only safety was in uniting the
white voters solidly against the solid
negro vote For years and years that
was the one great issue an all Southern
elections. The whites could not afford
10 divide on any issue in any election.
because when once divided there would
be difficulty In reunting the forces, and
with a divided white party the negro
party would be sure 20 take advantage
OF the opportunity 10 put itself in power
Each State In turn shook OF the yoke
OF negro rule. but Il came to pass in Vir-
ginla In 1879 that the whites divided on
the debt question. and as soon as General
Malone got a respectable white follow
INK. he drew TO him the solid negro vote
with what result all political students
well know.
Another case. North Carolina was
cursed for a time with negro rule, but
was finally redeemed 10 the whites, and
ali went well until the Populist move
ment In that State some years ago diyid-
ed the whites. and as soon as division
was accomplished, the minority drew
unto themselves tho solid negro vote,
and again there was the blight Of negro
rule. which was shaken on IN the last
election IN that State, but not without
turmoil and boodshed
Our correspondent In Iowa cannot pos
sIbly understand these peculiar condi-
lions" nor can any save those who have
passed through such ordeals as we have
asserBbed. Ever since the ballot was put

The tagging interest in the proceed

Of the recent war. has been diverted
somewhat from the real subjects under
Investigation TO a consideration OF now
eroat a BLACKBOARD a general officer OF
The United States army can make OF
himself. The testimony Of Commissary
General Eagan was so loathsome that It
,s surprising the commission did not
sion him in his revolving diatribe against
General Miles as a-Violation of common
decency and lacking IN proper respect
for themselves. They should have re-
linked General Eagan by demanding
that he cease his low and disgusting at
tack.
General Miles IS no favorite Of ours
and he may have been reckless or even
false in his charges against the COM
missary department, but the method OF
reputation adopted by General Eagan
was a disgrace to the American army
and a reproach TO the American people.
lie has demonstrated by his own show
ing that he IS an unfit man to hold office
in our army.
General Miles by comparison with his
assailant has been elevated TO an alu-
tude Of propriety dignity and honor such
as he could never otherwise have hoped
TO aspire to. Whatever faults Miles may
have he is a paragon Of elegance be-
side Eagan.
We hope there is sufficient force and
character in the War Department to
nave Eagan brought speedily before
court martial and expelled from the
army.

THEPAssING OF ALTGELD.

one of the most interesting political
fights Of the day is that for the mayor
atty of the city Of Chicago between
young Mr.. Harrison, present incumbent
and former Governor Altgeld. who pro-
poses TO run as an independent.
This contest has a national significance
because Of the political prominence Of the
contestants. Mr. Altged was very
conspicuous figure in the national cleo
ton OF 1896 as was also Mr.. Harrison,
each Of them being a strong free silver
party regularity man. The national
leaders Of the Democratic party have der
clared that they would take no part on
the Chicago contest and while they may
not come out openly for either Of the
candidates, their influence viii doubtless
be exerted privately, this way or that
II Mr.. Harrison is the regular nominee
Of the party, as he viii be. and If Mr..
Altgeld attempts to defeat him, as he
says he will do, by running as an indie
pendent, then the party regularity men
must. in the interest of party regularity
give their moral support TO Harrison, and
in that event Governor Altgeld's ardor
for free silver and the party which rep
resents free silver will no doubt be tenn
pered.
Mr.. Aitgeld may be making a great
bluff and may not carry out his threat TO
run as an independent, but If he does so,
and II the influence of the National Com
mittee is given 10 Mr. Harrison, Altgeld
will be eliminated from the next national
contest, for which the party leaders will,
