THE BEST THING

WOAAoAs
THE BEST THING
for impure blood is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
neutralizes the action of the poi
sons which corrupt the blood and
disease the body. 1t increases
the activity of the blood-making
glands, thus increasing the sup
ply of pure blood, rich in the red
corpuscles of health. By these
the body is built up and its
vitality restored. vGolden Med
ical Discovery" is singularly eff
fective in the cure of scrofulous
diseases, enlarged glands, SWELL
ings, pinples, eczema and erup-
tive diseases in general. The
most obstinate and dangerous
forms of blood disc Sc have
yielded to the curative power of
this great remedy.

those of us who have been favored by
preferment, that we are but servants
of sovereigns who have the power to
create and unmake, to determine and
condemn.
The Republican party has achieved
success by Systematically and deter
minedly adhering to positive policies.
To recount it's victories, to enumerate
its beneficences, to dwell upon its glo-
rious achievements in peace and war,
would be but to repeat nearly all that
is comprised in the pages of history
concerning the progress of the repub-
lie.
The eyes of the nations of the world
are now upon us. From every quar-
ter of the civilized world come mutter-
ings against the so-called commercial
invasion by the United States The
earth has been traversed and oceans
have been spanned by American gen.
ius and industry. We have expanded,
not only territorially, but likewise
commercially, so rapidly that the great
strides made are not adequately real
lied except by those who are patient
students of statistics. And all this
has been accomplished through the
wisdom and guidance of the Republi-
can party We should be thankful
for these results, and it is most befit-
ting that we should here and now re-
new our devotion to the principles
which have brought about conditions
which rebound to the greatness and
glory of our country.
In the progress that has been made
in national affairs, Indiana can con-
sistently claim its full quota of credit
and honor Our senators and repre-
full accord with administration poll
cies, and their loyalty is appreciated
and commended by their constituents.
With such record, with rarely note
of discord, there is no reason why we
should not look to the future with the
same feeling of hopefulness that has
so we'll served the good purpose CT
GROWING the past with achievements
as distinctly great as any to be found
in the annals of time.
Indiana is a Republican state. That
fact has been established by the re-
turns of the several general elections
last past, but we must have care that
this prestige, obtained only after q
long and persistent struggle for SUI
premacy, is,not frittered away by i'll

been dominated by any one man or

ical bossism. Any assumption of die

of right and justice. and they may be

least encroachment upon what they
consider their vested prerogatives as
free men. Those who assume leader
ship must ever bear in mind that per-
sonal or political ambition is doomed
to disaster unless II is cordially rein
forced by the rank and file. Some
other parties may possibly succeed by
star-chamber sessions, secret confer
ences and close-corporation methods,
but the Republican party cannot ex-
pect to do so. l believe every man,
however humble, who shares our pol
itical belief should be taken into COM
plete confidence and full fellowship.
Furthermore, our constant aim should
be to unite all efforts In behalf of
party harmony and success, rather
than for individual aggrandizement.

charged with an highly important re-
sponsibility. You represent a power
that has been instrumental in enhanc-
ing the material and social welfare of
the state, potent in giving broader sig
nif1cance to our claim to nation guar
anteeing human liberty, influential in
aiding to add star after star to the
blue sky in the ripping red and white
folds of 'Old Glory" Let US jealousy
guard the sacred trust, ever mindful
of our responsibility and obligation to
the people, for by no other means can
we retain that confidence and support
upon which the future success of our
party depends.
Since the preceding annual love
feast, death has claimed three Illus
trious men to whom we are all cor
daily attached by ties both political
and personal. William Mckinley,
president, Christian, statesman, Amer
lean noblen1an, fell victim to bullet
fred by a worthless monster. The
tragedy was SO wanton that it shocked
the sensibilities of the whole civilized
world, producing grief sincere and uni
versal. To that far-seeing man, whose
mortal remains now repose near his
old home in Canton, the Republican
party owes much and the people of
this nation, regardless of party. owe
more. He served bis countrymen
faithfully and efficiently; he died with
out blemish on his record in the pub
lie service.
Another life of great usefulness and
honor was ended with the passing
away of our illustrious fellow citizen,
General Benjamin Harrison. AS long

moss. But he doesn't paint the picture
Of the man whose tongue is paIched
with fever, who tumbles and losses in
his hot room and narrow bed while the
bacilli of the bucket and the we'll are
striving for his life. That wouldn't be
a poetic theme, and he has nothing to
do with a theme that is not poetic.
As matter of fact the old we'll and
its familiar bucket have been the means
of diseasing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The
microbe is everywhere, and the easiest
,ehicle for its introduction into the body
Is perhaps the water we drink. We
can't keep the microbe out We can
prevent its harrnfulness.
THE DANGER OF DISEASE
does not lie in the strength of the
microbe but in the weakness of the
body. When the blood is impure the
microbe has a vantage ground from
which to operate. When the blood is
pure disease fails to find a breeding
ground, and the microbe strives in vain
against the man. Nobody can be healthy
when the blood is impure Taint the
blood and every organ fed and nourished
by blood must share the faint Keep
the blood pure and plentiful and the
body is made strong to resist the assaults
of disease.

the fail of 1892 took hard cold, which
seemed to settle in my head, terminating

the march Oh the nations.
The Republican party is the only
political organization that ever grew
great on victory, and this is the rea-
son OF that miracle-for US victory has
meant nothing but an opportunity to
do new and constructive work, to
make wise progress, to achieve con-
sentative advance. This is what has
won for US the allegiance Of the
thoughtful, earnest, progressive men
of other parties, this is why it is that
in American public life today there is
nothing but the party OF the govern
ment on the one hand, and on the 9TH
er hand a disorganized opposition
without single clear belief or a sin
gle concrete conception. This tells
why the confidence of the country is
ours, and this warns us how that con-
idence may be lost.
Organization is invaluable, even il
its narrow sense, but ideas and ideals
alone make organization vital. Princi-
pies are the life-blood without which
the organization, however perfect, is
lifeless. The people care nothing for
the spoils OF Office. The people de-
spise the feuds Of faction. But the
people care everything for the pros
perity of the country; the people care
everything for the power and glory
Of the republic over all the earth and
on all the seas. Therefore it is to
the future that we must turn our faces,
and to new work that we must put
our hands; and it is upon the work
that we do and the progress We make
that the next campaign must be fought
and won, and not on progress past or
work accomplished yesterday.
All the problems are not solved.
The great question of American ships
on the worlds high seas must be dis
cIssed and settled-and that is CUES
ton profoundly grave. The readjust-
ment Of our commercial relations with
the world whose trade We must re-
tain and increase, must be studied
with caution, solved with regard to
the intricate interlacings of industry,
executed fearlessly and firmly, but
with conservatism and delicacy, and
that is a problem graver still. An
American colonial policy must be
builded slowly, carefully, wisely, with

THE NOTABLE ADDRESSES
Keynote of the Coming Cam
paign Sounded By the
Party Leaders.
The New State Chairman Makes His
Initial Appearance In Public
Meeting.

Indianapolis, Jan. If there is
enthusiasm, the Republican party in
Indiana may fairly declare itself in nit
and excellent condition for an en-
trance upon the coming campaign.
For evidences of this enthusiasm were
everywhere present yesterday at the
annual Republican love feast" and
the signs were taken to be encourag-
Ing in an unusual degree. The meet
of the Republican party workers of the
state preliminary to the opening of the
campaign was very largely attended,
all sections of the state being repre-
scented, and the interest displayed on
all sides and the evidences of COM
plete harmony everywhere apparent
gave cause for felicitation among the
leaders &C re party.
The formal meeting at the Denison
hotel was presided over by State
this was the first Introduction to the
new chairman, and it is clear that he
left very agreeable Impression upon
those within the sound of his voice
when he called the meeting to order.
His introduction of the several speak
ers was performed in a happy man
ner. The first to speak, by right of
his position in state politics, was Sen
Rtor Charles W. Fairbanks, who, as
did all the speakers, found the audi
ence liberal with applause. Senator
Fairbanks said:

every man should discharge well his

ing the wisdom of Republican policies
and the soundness of Republican adj

party has been tested in the severe
heat of actual experience, and it has
met every reasonable demand upon it.
What more could be required?
Our party judgment upon great pub
lie questions has invariably been the
soundest. When many states wavered
and equivocated, Indiana has stood
firm upon the great cardinal doctrines
which have given us national and
state supremacy and filled the country
with prosperity and contentment. We
must continue to subject to the most
rigid scrutiny the proclamation of our
party faith. and we must let the world
know that Indiana Republicans have
no hospitality for policies horn of hys-
terra or for hysterical craftsmanship
Mere party success is barren; It is
utterly meaningless If it does not pro-
mote the public welfare. The people
have given us their confidence in an
especial degree; we must not forfeit
It: we mus continue to deserve to
hold it. and this we shall do If we are
but true and faithful in the discharge
of the public business. Republicanism
must be synonymous with sound and
economical administration 1t has al
wavs been so; it is so TO-DAY: 1t must

He paints pretty and pathetic word
pictures which touch the heart and dim

of physiology or pathology. When he
sings a song of the old well on the
farm and of the moss grown bucket in
which the water was drawn, he hasn't
thought of the bacteria which find a
fertile breeding ground in many an old
well. He pictures the hot, thirsty day,

be continued until our finances are ar
