The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot devotes
much space to the recent manifesto Of
Senator Vest, of Missouri, and concludes
thus:

must be no prescription, though with him
we believe in bimetallism still. And
certainly it does not rest with Mr. Bryan

A rue Bill.

The GOODNESS in Richmond may be- due
to the fact that all Of Virginia's share
or Warmness has centered in the Sixth
District.-Richmond Times.
Whether our Richmond contemporary
furnishes the true explanation or not,
we are fully and painfully sensible of the
fact that the political torridity out in this
section is unusually tense 1t would
indeed be well If we could borrow some
of the cool serenity which seems now to
pervade the politics Of other parts Of the
State.-Roanoke World.

The Roanoke World Is inclined to be a
little facetious at the expense home
Of folks. It says:
There was some objection devel-
oped to taking the oath Of fealty
to the new Constitution on the reassem-
bling of the Legislature but 1t amount
ed only to very small-sized tempest In
a tea pot. Virginians can be relied upon
to swear whenever occasion mperatively
requires.
Referring to the improved banking "a
cilities Of Norfolk the Norfolk Journal ct
Commerce says:
'Whle the time has never been when
money was shut up in vaults In Norfolk.
still there has always been a sort of
fond attachment to it by its owners that
made it necessary for borrowers with
gilt-edged collateral to prize 1t loose be-
fore having the pleasure of using it. Com
petition of to-day has done away with
much Of the pedigree business so that
good collateral does the work by itself"
Here is some sound doctrine from the
editorial column Of the Newport News
Tmes-Herald:
'.In a great measure the future of the
Democratic party is In the hands OF the
South. From its once strongly entrenched
position the Democrats Of Northern
States have been routed and retired by
national campaigns. until in that of 1900
we carried only four inconsiderable States
whose aggregate vote in the electoral col
lege was the unhappy number 10. The
"solid South Is the only logical hope
of the party. and to the South alone re-
mains the work Of rehabilitating the
party and giving it place of position
and control in national affairs"
The Hampton Monitor, using the little
affair we had in Richmond, discourses
learnedly on strikes. and among other
good things says:
"If only those directly interested were
affected by strikes it would not be so
disastrous. But it is not so. The pub
lie veal and thousands of others who
neither profit nor lose are always affected.
The suffering as in almost every case
where there are struggles. is not among
those Immediately concerned. but those
who are entirely innocent. In national
difficulties. similarly in strikes, the weak,
helpless and disintere5ted are the chief
losers. Capital may not always win, but
certainly it never loses.

SUBSTITUTION.

Please listen to a short talk upon q
most vitality important subject-one
which Is greatly disturbing the bust
ness world to-day.
You have doubtless heard Of the
word substitution" You have prob
ably read that substitution Is fraud"
Tack that saying firmly In your mind
and keep 1t there. II IL worth some
thing. 1t Is true-almost invariably.
You call at store and ask for an
article Of certain brand or manufac-
ture, one which has been thoroughly
advertised for years, and which has
earned an excellent reputation. The
dealer says here's something Just as
good for less money" That dealer
thereby usually tells a direct false
hood. He knows that the article
which he offers you at a lower price
is inferior, but the point is that 1t
yields him greater profit; hence his
desire TO substitute.
You may ask if an article Is superior
just because II is advertised. Yes, ii
Is, and here's why. The many we'll
known houses which spend millions
of dollars every year In the good pub
locations Of the country are managed
by men Of brains and wide business
experience, and these men know only
too we'll that unless an artiSle has
merit there is absolutely no business
sense in spending good money to ad.
vertise IT, II does not pay to adver-
tise any article of general use for a
short time only. Every advertiser
must wait some time before his adver-
Using has created the desired impress
sion and while he is waiting his goods
must have time to prove whether or
not they are good. If they are good,
they stick; IL not, they do not, and II
they we're not good and did not stick.
would this experienced business man
continue to spend good money adver>
Using the goods-throw good money
after bad as it were? Never. He
has too much business sense. ...',
The average article which you see
advertised month after month in good
publications is itself good Buy an
advertised article. II is the true safe
way ....... ..sa.-

you want and get what you ask for.

Mrs. HIIdebrandt's Discovery.

Lake Sarah, Mimi, Nov. 24th.--Mrs.
Hildebrandt of this place claims to
have discovered a complete cure for
Rheumatism, and numerous people
can testify that as Mrs. Hildebrandt
had the terrible affiiction and is now
a well woman, she appears to have
good grounds for her claim. Mrs.
Hildebrandt speaks of her cure as fol-
lows:
81 had the Rheumatism In my arms
so bad that could not sleep at night
| was induced to try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and before l had taken two
boxes was much better. When
had taken four boxes l was completely
cured"
1t is only fair to state that others
have made the same discovery as
Mrs. Hildebrandt and that for Rheu-
matism and other diseases arising
from the Kidneys, Dodd's Kidney
Pills are recognized as the one sure
and permanent cure.
