SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of chamberlain's
Couch Remedy.

"When / had an attack OF the grip
last winter (the second one) actually
cured myself with one bottle Of Cham
berlain.s Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest
truth. at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
full Of this remedy, and when the cough
Ing spell would come on at night
would take a dose and 1t seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough
would pass of and would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and it's ac-
companying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as most agreeable sur
prise is putting 1t very milely. had 10
idea that 1t would or could knock out
the grip, simply because I had never
tried 1t for such a purpose, but It did.
and 1t seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration. but the pains
were far less severe, and had not used
the contents of one bottle before Mr..
Grip had bid me adieu. For sale by all

1NEBR1ATE CURE EFFECTIVE.
Manson Journal.1

Manson Journal.l
The inebrite law passed by the last
general assembly was one of the best
acts of that or any other body. The
boys who have been sentenced to the
dry house at Cherokee under this law
have. since they came back, showed
that the cure was effective. They are
sober and Industrious men and are
working hard to build themselves up
in the estimation of the community
and taking care of their families.
There is not one who has gone from
Manson but what thanks his lucky
stars that he did go. and what is more
they do not intend to take any chances
of being sent back. One party who
was an habitual drunkard was so PEN

be sent. There are others who will
have to go. although their friends are
living in hope that they will see the evil
of their ways and stop before extreme
measures are necessary.

ger decision was announced has perth

long admitted that monarchy would

men are constituted and experience has
taught it is safer to divide the railroad
business among several controlling
companies and let the best man win.
This will be the economic result of the

CLEVELAND ON THE RACE QUESTION.

Speaking upon the race problem in
the south Mr. Grover Cleveland points
out that the south has done much for
the black population in the establish
nlent of schools and support of indus
trial and educational institutions. He
called attention to the fact that those
Who stand nearest to the burden must

south rests upon the shoulders of that
section. The salvation of the negro
ton from ignorance and The incubation
OF usefulness. The negro must become
q skilled worker acquire property, learn
the dignity of common labor and wait.
In all our criticism OF the southern
methods of dealing with the race Ques-
ton the north is to remember that the
south has "condoned the negro's share
in the humiliation AID spoliahon of the
white men of the south during the sat
urnalia of reconstruction days, and has
allowed a kindly feeling for the negro
deluged by a perilous flood of indis-
criminate,. unintelligent and blighting
negro suffrage
Mr.. Cleveland's Views, so far as he
gave them voice, have long been held
and advocated by Booker r. Washing
ton and by the thinking population of
the north. Mr.. Cle,velana's speech, while
possibly progressive from a partisan
viewpoint, fails to reach the present sit
uation. The particular impetus given
the discussion of the negro question at
the present time rests upon the APP
pointment of a negro oficeholder by the
president of the United States and
pointee by a section strongly opposed in
partisan sense to the president. The
most advanced and radical advocate of
the negro's political rights will admit
that Mr.. Cleveland is right in insisting
upon competency and moral cleanliness
OF the negro as a requisite to political
or social equality. The question is
whether when he shall have attained
this moral and intellectual equality he
