Remarkable Cures of Rheumatism

From the yindicator, Rutherfordton, N G.
The editor of the indicator has
had occasion to test the efficacy of
Chan berlain's Pain Balm twice
with the most remarkable results
in each case. First, with rheuma-
tism in the shoulder from which he
suffered excruciating pam for ten
days, which was relieved with two
applications Of Pain Balm, rubbing
the parts afflicted and realizing in
slant benefit and entire relief in a
short time. Second, in rheumatism
in thigh joint, almost postrating
him with severe pain, which was re
lieved by two applications, rubbing
with the liniment on retiring al
night, and getting up free from
pain. For sale by w. ]. Cox, Boil

One Hundred Years Ago.

Chicago Chronicle.l
Thomas jefferson was inaugural
ed President of the United States
100 years ago to-day. 1t is not
true that he was plain Virginia
farmer any more than it is true that
he hitched his horse to a picket
fence and left the animal standing
there while he went in to take the
oath.
Thomas Jefferson was a we'll
dressed, rather dignified and some
what aristocratic country gentle
man of the old school, and the last
man in the world who would have
been taken in those days as repre-
sentative of the common people.

He had won the presidency after
one of the most bitter and in many
respects one of the most brutal per-
sonal contests the country has ever
known, but Burr never thought of
charging Jefferson with being a
friend of the masses.
The young republic was neither
prosperous, happy nor contented in
the early days of March, 1901.
There was pessimism in the air.
Forebodings as to the future of the
American experiment at democra-
cyp were felt on all sides. The
United States had neither standing
nor credit abroad. Her ships were
plundered at the pleasure of England
and France, her representatives
were insulted.
There were people of intelligence
everywhere who felt that the repub-
lie could not last. They were not
able to say why exactly, but they
seemed to think that somehow or
other it couldn't. 1t must sooner or
later seek the protection of one OF
the then great powers. But the re-
public survived all the croakers who
at regular intervals predicted calam-
ity for il. And, again, it survived
the bloodiest civil war of modern
times.
| On the whole, the outlook for the
American democracy was hundred
times more gloomy 100 years ago
than it is to-day. Whatever the
pessimists may think or say to-day,
there are few of them who will go
far as to assert that the Govern
ment is in any immediate danger.
There are fewer who will contend,
as many commended during Jeffer.

His Information False.

Commercial Appeal
JACKSON, March To-. +. Hous-
er, editor of the Adamsville Times,
during tie heat of the political cam
paign last fall published some para
graphs charging that Hon. E. L..
Bullock and Judge McCorry of this
city had participated in and been
parties TO ballot-box stuffing in Mad
ison County for the past twenty
years. The allegations were of a
most sweeping nature. MIR. Bull
lock appeared before the grand ju-
ries of Madison, McNairy and ii en-
derson Counties and had lndict-
ments returned, charging Houser
with criminal libel. The first of
these indictments came up the past
week at Selmer, in McNairy Coun-
ty. Houser appeared and plead
guilty to the charge, stating that
his information had been based on
7rumors, which on investigation he
had found to be false. He offered
to make reparation by publicly ac-
knowledging the falsity of his
charges through his own paper,
and requesting other papers of the
district to do likewise. 1t is very
likely that the indictments against
Houser will be dismissed by MIR.

Dangerous Trend of Politics.

Oh LOUIS hepuouc.l
WASHINGTON, March 10.--"Any
lover of Democratic form of gov
ernment," said Honorable John
Dougherty this morning, before
starting for his Clay County home,
.seannot but view with forebodings
and apprehension the trend of Amer
lean politics. To the man or poll
tician who, like Alexander Hamil-
ton, believes in an aristocracy and a
form OF government that gets as
close in touch with a limited mon
archy as possible without having a
King, an Emperor or a Gar, the
new vogue may be all right. but %
a Democrat, one who has for years
followed and believed in the doc
trines of Thomas Jefferson, it is all
wrong.
"Ever since the struggle between
Republicanism and Federal SIN, ever
since the time when some men be-
lieved in government by and for
the people, and some in a rule by
titled classes, there has been a smol-
dering fire of aristocracy in the
hearts of some Americans. To-day
that fire has burst into lambient
flame, and actually threatens confa-
grafton.
But there was a difference in
the aristocracy as advocated byHam-
ilton and encouraged by Washing
ton. Then it was a blood and an
educated, an intelligent aristocracy.
To-day it is an aristocracy of the
parvenue, the new, rich, illiterate
in many cases, and lacking in the
refnements and polish of the old
school; an aristocracy without pride
or ancestry, or really much concern
about posterity.
''This trend of government into
the hands of a class, and from that
into the hand of the chief executive,
has been most rapid and alarming
since Mr.. Mckinley became Presi.
| dent.
"Time was when the theory OF
this Government was that it com
prlsed three coordinate branches =
the executive, the Legislative and
the judicial. These branches are
supposed to be equal in influence
and power, neither expected to in
wade the special field of the other.
But some strange things have hap
pened.
1.-The executive has become the
master and director of the legisla
tive, and in the hands of the Presi
dent Congress has become a lump
of putty, ball of wax, a handful
of potter's clay.
"Once the executive suggested
needed measures, recommended Ger
tain appointments, but never before
in the history of the Republic has
he, upon asking for measure
made use of the vast patronage Of
his office and enforced his demands
even against the pronounced wishes
of the legislative branch"

Cleveland and Hill on Democracy

BALTIMORE, March H.
The Crescent Democratic
Club, one of the leading Pc.
litical organizations of this
city, celebrated its twenty
ninth anniversary tonight.
The occasion was rendered
more than ordinarily inter-
esting by the receipt OF, let
tiers from former President
Grover Cleveland and former
United States Senator Da.
vid B. Hill.
Mr.. Cleveland, after ex-
pressing a regret that he
could not be present, says:
All the present signs of the times
indicate most impressivly the neces-
sity of increased activity and aggres-
siveness in the ranks of Democracy.
There were days when Democratic
principles, advocated in Democratic
fashion, gave guarantee of Demo-
cratic supremacy--or at least,
strength and influence in our nations
councils. Why should there not be
a return of those days?
The answer to this question is
not found in less applicability than
formerly Of Democratic doctrine 10
present conditions. On the contra
~, there never was a time when
they were more needed to cure evils
which aflict our body polite, and
there never was a time when our
countrymen would be more willing
to account Democracy as they once
knew it as safeguard against exist
ing and threatening ills.
am convinced, however, that If
our party is to gain its old prestige,
and become a strong and vigorous
organization, feared by its enemies,
and inspiring the active devotion of
its rank and file, it must, first Of all
things, itself become truly, hosently
and consistently Democratic.
Mr.. Hill, in his letter, said
In this time of dire defeat,
when the shouts of the victorious
hosts of plutocracy, commercialisrn
and imperialism at their recent in
augural festivities at the national
capital are still ringing in our ears,
we should remember that the dark
est hour is often times just before
the dawn of day.
am sure that a majority Of the
American electorate will not be sat
isfied with the continued rule of
radicalism, extravaganza and cor
ruption. But we must not deceive
ourselves. The people will not re-
store the Democratic party to pow
err unless they are satisfied that we
will give them better government
than our opponents. The people
want a safe and conservative admin
istration of public affairs. There
must be no question of our inten-
ton to fearlessly maintain the ma
tional credit under any and all cir
cumstances. We must not permit
our opponents to put US in a false
position as the enemies of public or
der. Labor and capital should be
but neither should be un.
necessarily assailed. Opposition to
dangerous corporate combinations
should be allowed to degenerate in
TO indiscrimiDate attacks upon char
tered rights.
We should conciliate rather than
antagonize the great business inter
ests of the country, and this can
easily be accomplished without the
surrender of single essential party
principle.
