Questioned Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any ipedicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand mothers
never thought of using amy thing else for
indigestion or biliousness. Doctors We're
scarce, and they, seldom heard of appen-
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc, They used August Flower
to clean out the system, and. stop fer
mentation of undigestel fontl, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous AID .organic action of the sys-
tenn, and that isall they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need u few. doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is llathing
serious the matter with you.

Constitution. The words are a trife OH
but the tune is the same.
Four years later the Democrats again viewer
with alarm the Republican party Villanou'
plan to throttle freedom and set up an empire
This is what they said about 1t:
Under its repeated assaults the pillars OF me
Government are rocking on their base, anu
should 1t succeed IN NOVEMBER mex az enh-
augurate it's President, we Will meet as a Suo -
fected and conquered people, amid the runs OF
liberty and the scattered fragments OF the OoH-
stitution.
Poor scattered fragments of the constitution
Grant was elected and inaugurated. but the
most scattered fragments since seen lying
around loose in this country are the fragments
Of amendments securing equal rights to all cid
zens. which the Democrats first peppered with
shotguns or burned at the stake, and are now
trampling under foot with the aid Of Red Shirts
and fraudulent elections in North Carolina.
In 1875 the Democracy proclaimed that the
country must ''be saved from corrupt central
ism" This was another tune by the same OLD
artist who has been saying the same old thing
ever since the time Of George Washington and
Alexander Hamilton. Whenever he can ma
a man who wants freedom 10 riot he still grows
lurid over the evils Of cantralsm. Wnen 1851
came around the same old performers gave us
the same old spectacle. They were then pro-
phetic Of the awful monster militartsm with
which Mr.. Bryan is now waging his vociferous
battle. Their platform said:
We are opposed to an increase of the standing
army in time of peace. and the insdious scheme
to establish enormous military power unueI
the guise of militia laws.
Garfield was elected but that enormous mill
tary power does not seem yet to have changed
our form of government or justified the Demo
cratic terrors. The present Organized Democ-
racy itself we believe, views with alarm the
party's period Of Clevelandism. but those years
were one long sad vail over unconstitutional
taxation and other Republican undermining OF
the foundat tons of our Federal Union. The Chi
cago platform of 1896 was another dirge over
the destruction of liberty. 1t predicted the ruin
and utter downfall of the Nation. II free coin
age of silver was not Immediately restored. 1t
saw tyranny enthroned- if the Supreme Court
was not restrained from enforcing law and
order and called for the packing Of that court
to save the Nation by an income tax. Now, in
1900, the Democracy specifically repeats those
same old shouts for rescue from tyranny,
though four years experience has taught every
body that there was no wolf at all, but merely
a false alarm, and that the boy lied" And
it proclaims new dangers which are only the
old tales of revolution and miltarism revamped.
With such a record Of false prophecies reck-
less denunciatons, discredited patriotism and
habitual calamity bowling is 1t possible that
any Democratic leader seriously expects TO
brighten the country with the old bugabOos?

TIE WORK OF THE GULF STORM.

The disaster which has overtaken Galveston
viii rank among the most terrible in this coun-
try's history. 1t is comparable only with the
Chicago fire Of 1871 the Charleston earthquake
of 1886 and the bursting of the Conemaugh
dam, above Johrstown, in 1889. The beauti-
full and prosperous little city which had become
the chief cotton port OF the Gulf has been dew
astated, If not almost completely destroyed.
The number Of deaths which have occurred
there will probably much exceed a thousand.
This fact alone represents an appalling aggre-
gate of human sorrow. But it is supplemented
by the homeless and starving condition Of a
large part of the surviving population. Every
one is familiar with more extensive losses of life
and more widespread suffering in Asiatic coun-
tries, from plague. pestilence and famine. But
the victims are of another race, and they are
geographically far removed from the United
States. Hence the American heart is not
stirred by such events as by the fate that has
befalen our own land and kinsmen The plight
of Texas makes powerful If silent appeal for
relief to all other States OF the Union. The
response should be immediate and generous.
On Sunday, when as yet only a hint of Gal
veston's experience had been furnished by the
press dispatches. The Tribune intimated that
in all probability the damage there had been
mostly wrought by foods created by the wind
and not by the direct force of the gale itself
This suspicion seems to be fully verified by
later revelations. Galveston is situated on
low, sandy island at the mouth OF a wide
funnel shaped bay. Here the hurricane piled
up the waters Of the Gulf to an extraordinary
height. The city and the bridges leading there
to were thus submerged a day or more in a
stormy sea. Structures which might have with
stood cyclonic gales blowing eighty miles or
more an hour We're lifted bodily from their
foundations by the food or succumbed to the
shock of waves where waves were never seen
before
Against such a calamitous visitation there
seems to be absolutely no protection. The Ma
tional Weather Bureau gives notice of the de
Velopment and approach of these tropical
storms In the present instance it was able to
do so more than a week in advance. although
these warnings are Of immense value to Ship
ping. But amount Of preparation could
divert the hurricane mitigate It's fury or re-
strain the abnormal tide and pillows The
most that could be hoped for was that the
cyclone. whose breadth probably did not exceed
one hundred and fifty miles. might strike some
comparatively uninhabted part of the coast or
else keep out Of the Gulf altogether. Govern
ment breakwaters and other engineering works
prove highly servceable under ordinary con-
emergency like this.
