The democratic attitude on the
negro question is, first, the negro
is SO inferior to the white man
that he should not have the right
to vote; and second, the negro is
making such progress that the
whites are threatened with negro
domination. In this connection it
is interesting to know that while
forty years ago, no negro in the
South owned foot of ground,
there are now 100000 farms valued
at $350,0O0,00O, and owned by
negroes; besides this, $50, 900 homes,
valued at 1866, 900, 600, and personal
property worth about $165, 900, 900.
After the war not one per cent of
the adult negroes could read or write,
today forty per cent can do so.
Fifty per cent of the children are
attending school and more could do
so, if there were facilities. There
are 800 colored physicians, 800
lawyers and 10000 school teachers.
The colored people own and publish
$50 newspapers and magazines. In
view of the handicap under which
they started and the limited oppor-
tunities they have had, it seems that
their progress has been quite in
keeping with that of the great
nation to which he belongs. Those
who are not jealous of their pros
perity and do not fear their compe-
tition, congratulate them on what
they have accomplished. What
arrant folly to spend millions in
missionary work upon the negroes
in Africa and yet try to repress
their, progress and prosperity at
home.

A law is in force in Michigan,
providing for the prosecution for
manslaughter of careless hunters
who kill people, especially during
the deer season. The penalty is
imprisonment for not exceeding ten
years or fine not exceeding ST., 900,
and prosecution is mandatory. Elk
actly such a law is necessary in
Wisconsin, as a dozen or more
men are killed and as many more
wounded every deer season, by
thoroughly careless and needless
hunters. Possibly not all of these
casualties are accidents and a law
similar to the Michigan enactment
would reach the suspicious cases.

They are catarrh of the organ which is
affected. These women despair of re-
covery. Female trouble is so common, so
prevalent, that they accept it as almost in
evitable. The greatest obstacle in the way
of recovery is that they do not understand
that it is Catarrh which is the source of their
illness. In female complaint. ninety-nine
cases out of one hundred are nothing but
catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Chronic invalids who nave languished for
years on sick beds with some form of female
disease begin to improve at once after be-
ginning DR.. Hartman S treatment.
Among the many prominent women who
recommend Peruna are:-Belva Lockwood,
of Washington. D. c.; Mrs. Col. Hamilton,
of Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. +. f. Warren, wife
Of L. S. Senate Warren, of Wyoming.
If you do not derive prompt and s~atisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna, write
at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a full state
ment of your case, and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis.

A Good Story.

Frederika, Ia, July 13th.-Mr. A. S.
Grover Of this place tells an interest
Ing story showing how sick people
may regain their health If they will
only be guided by the experience Of
others. He says:
II had a very bad case Of Kidney
Trouble, which affected my urinary
organs so that l had to get up every
hour of the night. l could not retain
my urine and my feet and limbs began
to bloat up. My weight was quickly
running down.
After l had tried many things in
vain, / began to use Dodd's Kidney
Pills, a medicine which had cured
some other very bad cases.
This remedy has done wonders for
me. l have gained eight pounds IN
two months. The bloat has all gone
from my feet and legs, and l don't
have to get up at night. I took in all
about ten boxes before l was all
sound"
Those who suffer as did Mr.. Grover
can make no mistake in taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills, for they are a sure,
safe and permanent cure for all Kid
ney urinary disorders.
