A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Something New Under the Sun. "


All Doctors have tried to cure Ca
tarrh by the use of powders, acid gases
inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the lnucuous
membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eat
en- away the same membranes that
their makers have aimed to cure,
while pastes and ointlnents cannot
reach the disease An old and expe-
1ienced practitioner who has for MANY
years made a close study and special
ty of the treatment of Catarrh, has at
last perfected a Treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures Catarrh,
by removing the cause, stopping the
discharge, and curing all inhamma-
ton. 1t is the only remedy known to
science that actually reaches the af-
hicted parts This wonderful remedy
is known as "Snuffles the Guaranteed
Catarrh Cure and is sold at the ex-
treme1y low price of Que Dollar, each
package containing internal and ex
ternal medicine sufficient for a full
mcnth's treatment and everything
necessary to it's perfect use.
Shuttle" is the only perfect Ca
tarrh Cure ever made and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. 1t cures all inflammation
quickly and permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to relieve Hay Fe-
yer or cold in the head
Catarrh when neglected often leads

The DEMOCRAT takes the posi-
tiOn it's editor thinks best for
the general well-being of all our
people, on the question of how
to best handle the liquor busi-
ness. We have contended for
years that the prohibitory liquor
law was a dead letter in most
parts of Kansas; that it was i'm
possible to enforce it, and that
the only way the places where
liquors are sold could be kept
under any sort of control was
for the city council to assess a
fine upon them, lay down rules
that they must follow, and have
a marshal or police force that
would see that the restrictions
of the council would be complied
with. We are of the same opin-
ion still. We believe that 90 out
of every hundred. of our citizens
believe the same way. There are
some however, who say that by
doing this the council would be
conniving at crime. They may
be honest in that belief, we do
not question their sincerity; and
we deny their right to denounce
the large majority who believe
with us as anarchists, law-break-
ers, boodlers, ETC., as has been
done in the past. We all want
the best interests of the city
looked after-we only differ as
to what is the most reasonable
method to obtain this result.
When you consider the question
| of the liquor traffic take al
things. into consideration-re
member our many years of ex
perience, and. that practical tenn
perance will accomplish a Who'll,
Hot more for good than will the
4 oretical prohibition.

A POPULIsr EDITORS VIEW.

The following is signal edi-
torial by w. P. Harrington of
the Grove County, Kansas, Ad-
vocate:
"The advocate is for sale to
any one who will take it and run
it as a Democratic paper. This
I can. not do myself with very
good grace, and l am ready to
quit and leave the field to some
one else.
''I take this action because l
can see no future for a Populist
newspaper. During a recent trip
to the eastern part of the State
I had an opportunity to size up
the situation. All over theState
the Populists are abandoning
their organization and going in
to the Democratic party. Next
year the State ticket will be made
up of former Populists, but it
will bear the Democratic name.
There will be no populist State
ticket, or if one is nominated it
will be a boilers ticket and will
cut no figure in the election. A
Populist paper would be left
without following or influence;
l do not feel capable OF running
any kind of paper but a Populist,
and the only thing for me to do
is to quit when my party quits.
cit is to be hoped that the alb
sorption of our party by the
Democratic organization will re-
suit only in good to the cause.
From the time that the Demo-
cratic party threw Grover Cleve-
land overheard, nominated Will
liam J. Bryan for President and
put certain of our demands in
it's platform it has been a fore
gone conclusion that the mission
of the Peoples party was ended
and that it's spirit had gone to
reanimate the Democratic party.
Populists now have no. right to
turn. back. If they still stand
where they stood in 1896 and
1900 they will not be out of
place in the Democratic party;
| if, as is the case with many of
them, they are no longer satisfied
with the conservative declara-
tions of past campaigns their
place is in some more radical Or
ganization like the Socialist
party

SHOWS UP BAD.
Topeka Has Quite Record for Drunk
Q enness.

prohibitioIlists' o figures are a
mass Of tangles and irregular,
tiles. They are neverto be relied
upon but are worked up and shot
into existence for the purpose OF
soaring people to death with
their mastoden-like statistics.
FROM the report Of the United
States Labor Commissioner one
finds out many things that are
really annoying to aprohibition-
ist because they show up the
senseless chatter which those
"good citizens are always pok-
ing at the electorate of the Uni
ted States and especially Kan
sas.
In Topeka, which is known all
over as the model city for. liquor
law enforcement, there were last
year $50 arrests for drunkenness,
while in Quincy, ILL.,, town with
the population slightly in excess
of that of Topeka, river town
and a big brewery town, there
were only 1SO arrests made for
drunkenness. In Quincy there
were only Ut arrests for larceny
and housebreaking while there
were 1875 arrests for those
causes in Topeka. The total.
number of arrests in Topeka dur
ing the year was 3,OS9, while
over in old ST. Joe, Missouri, a
town full of saloons and distil-
leries and with a population
more than five times larger than
Topeka, there were only 2,S53
arrests for all causes. In prohi-
bition Topeka, where the old
women run the town, it takes a
policeman for each 1000 people
in st. Joe, where the town is run
like a white man would run it, it
takes an officer only. for each
1900 people.
In a Massachusetts, town Of
about the same population as
Topeka, there are fifty-three sa-
looms, but the police force have
things running just right there,
and only 172 arrests were made
for drunkenness, as against 553
in Topeka for the same period.
If all the ills Of mankind are laid
to saloons why is it that Topeka
shows up in such a bad light? Ii
prohibition is such a good thing
why don't the report of the Unit
ed States labor commissioner
put it at the head of the class
Q instead of at the tail end?
Topeka has the liquor laws
more strictly enforced than any
city we know of but one can see
more drunks on Kansas avenue
there, any day, than you could
see in Kansas City in a week.
Why is this thus? 1t is because
prohibition is nothing but a
theory-a spasm of sentimental
ism and never has nor never will
fill the bill. Topeka has more
joints than any wide-open city in
Kansas, but they call them
0 drug stores" up there. just
think of it. Sixty-three drug
stores in a. town OF $4,000 peo
ple-one for every i've hundred
men, women and children in the
city, Wouldn't that jar youl
nut-shaped head? Topeka has
forty-one drug stores with "per
'.mits" which, according to the
way things are run up there, art
all common, everyday joints.
Think of all this,' dear reader
and then remember that the pro
T hibitionists and bossess Of tn,
Republican party are still Saying
that prohibition does prohibit
and are still forcing the busines
and moral interests of Kansa
to carry such a load.
1t will be time next YEAR t,
