In spite OF the fact that we have no

The republicans present an ex-
cellent aldermanic ticket for election
next Monday, and sharp, vigorous
fight ought to land at least three OF
them in city hall.
Ward presents Irving Osgood, the

republican.
Ward presents Bernard S. Jellison,
young republican of the Falls, COM

well known as gentleman of con-

promise. His election would be a
credit to the ward.

What splendid type of tireless activity Is the
sun a. the psalmist describes IL issuing like IA
bridegroom from his chamber and rejoicing like
strong man to run a race. Every man Dug ht
to rise In the morning refreshed by slumber md
renewed by rest, eager for the struggle of the
day. But how rarely this is SO, Most people
rise still unrefreshed and dreading the strain of
the days labors. The cause of this is deficient
vitality ana behind this lies a deficient supply
of pure rich blood, and an inadequate nourish-
meat of the body. There Is nothing that will
give man strength and energy, as will Dr.
Piere.'s Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does
this by increasing the quantity and quality of
the blood supply. This nourishes the nerves,
feeds the BRAIN builds up enfeebled organs
and gives that sense of strength and power
which makes the struggle OF life joy. The
''good feeling" which follows the use of
Golden Medical Discovery" is not due to slim
ulation as 1t contains no alcohol, whiskey or
other intoxieant. 1t does not brace up the body.
but builds ii up into a condition of sound
health

Brudstreet's has made a most valu-
able compilation of the business rec
ords of 1899 in book form. The year
shows that 1899 touched high water
mark in the number of firms, corpo-
rations, and individuals doing bust
ness Low water mark in the decade
was 1894 1t is also to be noted that
of those engaged in business in 1899
only IS of one per cent failed. Not
since 1851 has the commercial death
rate been so low. OF the l0,94s fail
ures in the United States and Canada
in 1859, 10, 234, or 93.4 per cent, had a
capital of S., 900 or less. OF the re-
mainder, 535, or 40 per cent, had a
capital less than $4,000. Only L.
per cent of the failures, therefore,
had capital of over $40, 900. This
again breaks all records. Never be-
fore have there been SO few failures
among stable firms with good rating.
OF these failures in 1899, 1872 per cent
were directly ascribable to the per-
sonal faults of the bankrupt. This is
the largest percentage ever reached,
agreeing with the known favorable
business conditions in 1899.

Concerning the contest betwe en-
Frederic Danforth, of Gardiner, and
Parker Spofford, OF Bucksport, for the
appointme 1T as State railroad COM
missioner, the Boston Herald says:
mir. Danforth has been a good man
upon the board, and it has been the
policy to continue a man upon the
different State commissions SO long as
it is believed that he has been doing
faithful work On the other hand,
Mr. Spofford is an able man, and no
one questions his ability to fill the
position to which he aspires. If Mr.
Spofford should receive a strong back
ing in the eastern part of the State.
and especially in the fourth congress
sional district, the governor might
consider it to be a matter of good
policy and good politics TO make a
change on the board and give the
place to Mr. Spofford. The governor,
however, will perhaps be influenced
in this appointment, as he has in
making others, by the strength and
character of the petitions presented
TO him. The contest for this position
will be kept in mind by the people of
the State.n
