"A MERRY CHRISTMAS"

With the great disturbances at present pre-
vailin in the political social and industrial worlds,
the Christmas greeting may may not seem out
of place. Pope says;
g Better for us, perhaps it might appear,
Were there all harmony, all virtue here;
That never air felt the wind,
That never passion dscomposed the mind,
But all subssts by elemental strife,
And passions the elements OF life,'
Perhaps we hear too much of the evil and too
little of the good that is in the world. 1t is true
that there are wars and rumors of wars, strikes
and rumors of strikes, which indicate the fierce
conflict that is going on between capital and labor.
Human sehshness exists as of old; but is not hui
manitv growing wiser, better, and is not Chris
tianty rightly taught and rightly understood, the
purifier of the world? Notwithstanding existing
evils millions in the world today trying to lead
true and noble lives, if but in feeble imitation of
that life which alone was without sin, and whose
Gift to the world made Christmas and its Joys a
possibility. In the spirit of the season, The Dem
ocrat wishes each and all Merry Christmas

The Renewal a Strain

Vacation is owe AGAIN the school

hardest kind of work has begun,
the renewal of which is q mental

most rugged. The little girl that a
few days ago had roses in her
cheeks, anh the little boy whose lips
we're then 30 red you would have
insisted that they had been kissed
by Strawberries, have already lost
something of the appearance of
health. Now is a time when many
children should be given a tonic,
which may avert much serious
trouble, and we know of no other
so highly to be recommended as
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which strength
ems the nerves, perfocts digestion
ard assimilation, and aids mental
development by building mp the

MORPHINE
Can Morphine and Other
Drug Habits be Cured?

1t has been long contended by
physicians that there is no cure for
the drug habit. This is true so far
as tho rank and file of the medical
profession are concerned. Thereason,
therefore, is that they are ignorant
of the full scope and nature of the
disease; but fortunately for the cause
of suffering humanity we have DEM
onstrated that the morphine or other
drug habits can be cured and guar
antee an absolute, permanent and
painless cure to those addicted to the
use Of drugs if they will take our
treatment and follow our instruc-
tions

individual attention and treatment

The outlook for the democracy is
not a hopeful one. AS defeat follows
defeat, it becomes more and more
difficult to arouse the old time
political enthusiasm and zest of years
ago, when the country seemed to be
more, evenly divided. There is of
course an abundance of boasting and
Dragging and "hot air" preceding
any of the campaigns but there is not
back oft all much genuine confidence
in any democratic gains 1t is hard
to convince intelligent men that the
result of the vote will be anything
but the usual republican victory.
As matter of fact men, for some
time, have been glad to find any
reasonable excuse for jumping over
the fence and getting into the repub-
'lican camp.

It viii be remembered with what a
fine display Of oratory and fervor the
recent national convention of popu-
lists declared against fusion with the
democrats as heretofore. The decla-
rations were approved by the populist
leaders throughout the country.
Preaching and practice are two
different things, however. In the
Nebraska populist convention August
26th the Denver proclamation OF
Independence was cut into small
pieces and thrown in a rat hole and a
fusion agreement adopted by which a
popocratic ticket has been selected
for the Nebraska campaign. There
was not even debate on the propo-
sition.
