Something New Under the Sum-"

something New Under the Sum-"
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 mucuous
membranes, causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used IN the inhalers have entirely eaten
away the same membrane that their
makers have aimed to cure. while
pastes and ointments cannot reach the
disease. An old and experienced prac-
titioner who has for many years made
a close study and speciality of the treat
ment OF cATARRH, has at last per-
fected a Treatment which when faith
fully used, not only relieves at once,
but permanently cures cATARRH.
by removing the cause, stopping the
discharges, and curing all inflammation.
1t is the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted parts.
This wonderful remedy is known as
"sNUFFLEs, the GUARANTEED CA
TARRH CURE and is sold at
the extremely low price Of One Dollar,
each package containing internal and
external medicine sufficient for a full
months treatment and everything nee
essary to its perfect use.
"~sNUFFLEs' is the only perfect
cATARRH CURE ever made and is
now recognized as the only safe and
positive cure for that annoying and dis
gushing disease. 1t cures all inflama-
ton quickly and permanently, and is
also wonderfully quick to relieve HAY

cATARRH when neglected often
leads to CONSUMPTION = ~"sNUFFLEs"
will save you if you use it at
once. 1t is no ordinary remedy, but a

form Oh stage If used according to the
directions which accompany eachpack-
age. Don't delay, but send for it at
once, and write full particulars as to

CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY.

.r.ation. has been experimenting, be-
,onse the government never existed
which time could not conquer and ruin.
Greece, Rome, Persia, Babylonia,
Eovpt and the nations Of oblivion. after
c.nturies OF existence, crumbled and
fell.
Britain has been a great power
since the days of William the Conquer
A. vet eminent men predict England's
downfall if she does not alter her
course.
Franco, Spain, Germany and Italy
are constantly rent by wars and dis
,ord hence there must be something
wrong in their internal affairs.
Our own nation is founded on a diff
fayent basis. Only n serious war
has threatened to V that bond
If c~onfederacy which unites together
the different States.
Perhaps the opinion that we are a
successful government may be ]usti-
liable, nevertheless we must remem-
Der that only a little more than a cen
nry has elapsed since the Inauguration
If the immortal Washington, and a
century in the category OF governments
is a small period Of time.
The more we read the pages OF his
torv. the more do We ponder over the
short existence Of nations.
The study of christian democracy is
especially applicable to nations and
governments. 1t is also q question OF
vital Importance to society. for The
study of christian democracy deals
with the fundamental rights and duties
Of mankind.
shall not confine myself to the
strict meaning CT the term democracy.
for popular governments as such un-
allowed with other forms is impossible.
No great nation has ever been a true
democracy; but shall rather deal with
q much broader significance. and n
which shall include any form Of gov
eminent, be it a republic, a monarchy.
or an ~aristocracy.
With this conception in view. chris
tan democracy may be defined as a
theory Of government legitimately in
troduced, founded upon principles OF
equality, and of christianity, having for
its end-the end Of all civil society
the promotion Of common welfare.
The idea of such a government.
may seem a trifle utopian, yet, If you
will study the annals of history, you
will find that some have flourished, not
only did they flourish, but they flour
ished as an oasis In a desert, and they
have left behind them monuments OF
glory.
Were not such the countries OF
christian Europe when the Moslem
power was overthrow, when the bar
barians Of the north were civilized
There was a time when states were
governed according to the maxims OF
justice, when truth and justice pene-
trated all ranks Of society, all laws,
Institutions and manners of nations.
Yes, that was the time when primacy
Of civilization was reached. Not that
modernized civilization. with its wars OF
conquest, its outstanding at the
mouth Of the gatling gun; its CONNER
cial greed and industrial gain.
No, there was no civilization OF that
type, but there was a true civilization,
a civilization that gave the state per-
lection, a perfection that realized the
ideals Of Edmund Burke, 1.-THE spirit OF
the gentleman and the spirit of true
religion"
Yet look at these same nations to-
day. Spain and Italy floundered be-
cause Of their internal or domestic dif-

is now more and more necessary by
it absence.
In a christian or normal nation the
first essential should be law and order.
for without law and without order, the
state cannot attain its end. Anarchy
from within ana destruction from with
out is bound to result.
You may not and you cannot destroy
the right of property, for the right of
property is q natural right, necessary
for mans natural perfection. Neither
will 1t do to have all men equal in the
concrete. for this is impossible, and at
the same time unjust. If all men
were equal in the concrete, then the
foundation Of society will crumble, for
nature herself, despite the claims of
her political friends, supposes inequali-
ties among men.
All mel are created equal. Yes. But
how long does the equality remains Is
the child Of the poor starving in a
howell, on the same footing as the child
Of the rich surrounded by every luxuryp
Is the talented child Of the artesian on
the ssme footing with the imbeclle
child of the capitalist We will al
ways have the rich and the poor, the
capitalist and the laborer and it is the
duty Of the state to minimize the diff
ference
The various governments of chris
tian Europe we're successful, until class
hatred crept in; until the contending
factions began their strife one with
another, then the nations began to
crumble.
The terrible scenes Of the French
revolution, according to some writer's
can be traced to the misconception Of
our declaration Of independence. Had
it not been for the writings Of Voltaire
and Rosseau with their brilliant, fas-
cinating theories, mistaking licence for
liberty, exciting the public to class
hatred. Had it not been for the utter
absence Of characteristic conditions Of
a christian state-opposition to author
ity-unrestrainsd skepticism. sweeping
misconceptions of democratic ideas,
history would have been spared these
pages red with blood.
The diversity of ranks is but one Of
the problems which confront the state,
but It includes nearly all the future
problems Of the commonwealth. 1t
includes the paramount question Of
capital and labor, Of poverty and wealth
of obedience to authority, Of the right
Of property.

Without the application Of its princi-
pals no government can prosper, for a
government that rules unjustly becomes
a government Of physical force, and a
government that rules by armies and
navies is no government at all. tits a
base usurpation of power, a %tyrannical
mode Of enforcing justice. But with
the true principles Of christian de-
