Folks who think It is better to bear
pain than soothe it--are wrong.

was better, because they had nothing
with which to ease pain but dangerous,

But now, that a safe remedy has
been found, DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills,

gained but weakened nerves.

by restoring the natural secretons, in

ticket, but thinks it can best ac-
complish this by appealing to fac
tional differences in the past, re-
gardless Of the fact that the can
didates on the State ticket are
working in the most absolute har-
mony. all with the same desire and
same purpose. They and the
State Committee are bending every
effort to the election of the entire
ticket by large and uniform ma
jorities.
The Springfield Express in this
connection, calls attention to the
words of Charles F. Kelly, who
has just made confessions to brib-
cry as Speaker of the St. Louis
House of Delegates. In his con-
fession he refers to the st. Louis
World, tells why it was started
and tells how it has attacked Folk.
He says:
When Folk commenced his
war on us, we tried to iutimidate
i'm by threats Of assassination,
and when this had mo effect, we
laid all sorts Of traps for him, with
out success. Then it was decided
to start a Il ewspaper and libel him
so iiercely us to draw his fire by
taking up his time in libel prose-
BUTTONS, or if he did nothing
his in hueuce would be weakened
or DESTROYED.
Although we could find moth
ing, after a thoro search, to make
an attack on, libels were deliber.
ately made up for the pur-
pose of affecting public sentiment.
This plan was participated in, not
only 10y members of the House of
Delegates under indictment for
bOodling, but by prominent finan-
ciers of st. Louis who feared eX-
posure and by those who gave us
the money. If the public could
but know all the schemes and
plans we had, there would be an
uprising and lynchings.
THE prosecutor has after three
years fighting, whipped us. While
we started in against him conf
IDENTIFY, we have now given upI
hope"
The fact that Mr.. Folk brought
no libel suits, wrote not IA line and
said nothing in response to these
attacks, all show how greatly they
misjudged him. Instead he has
kept right OH with his war on the
boodIers. How thoroIy he has de-
feateCl them is best shown in the
last lines we have quoted from
Kelly's confession.
In some communities the World |
could not have continued its exist
ence unmOlested, but the people of !
st. Louis are as whole very law
abiding and given to violence. The
New York Tribune was once at
tackled by mob for very much |
less than the a Orld has done.
No one can deny that the st, |
Louis Star has always supported
the Republican ticket aud Repub-
lican policies. 1t is opposed to the
election of Folk and the entire
Democratic ticket, as is every |
other Republican paper in the
State with the exception Of two or
three country weeklies, that have.

LINE EoR REApJusrMENr.

A S WE intlmated yesterday there
~ are evidences TO support the be-
lief that the future Republican
battles of this State will be fought
without the aid and assistance OF John
Edward Addicks. The ship is going
down. and it remains to be seen how
many rats will go with it. To those
who are aware Of the true condition OF
affairs. it must appear as a reasonable
course to save themselves. Those who
have come to regard the bounties OF
Addicks as they do the annual crop OF

nial. must of course persist until thoy
are undeceived
But whatever motive lies behind ia
political conduct OF individual Republic

TN TRYING to estimate the Demo-
cratic situation in this state one
is apt to get confused, without the
aid OF diagram. Combinations
are the talk OF the hour. Zach Of the
three counties has one or more candi-
dates for Governor.
ltshas been rumored for some time
that the single candidate from Sussex,
Joseph r. Holland, feels that his hopes
rest upon the disposition Of New Cas-
tie. II somebody can impress the dele
gates from this county with the de-
sirabiIity of selecting the congressional
candidate from New Castle county,
then Sussex would ask for the candi-
date Tor Governor, and he would prob
ably be Mr.. Holland. 1t is claimed. by
many who are regarded as astute that
Peter J.. Ford win control the Whining
ton delegation, and It is rumored that
he would not object to a contest
against Mr.. Knowles and DR.. Burton.
But Sussex is to be heard from. She
has but one candidate for Cover
nor but three for Congressman.
These are Henry a. Houston, E.
10. Hearne and Andrew ]. Lynch. Their
only hope OF success lies in persuading
New Castle county to name the candi-
date for Governor, pledging in exchange
for the support OF Sussex. TO back her
congressional nominee. This gives the
opportunity for various combinations.
New Castle presents Marvel Ford ana
Bird, and with three aspirants for Con-
gress from Sussex It is interesting to
imagine the alliances that may be en-
tered into.
Meanwhile there is something doing
in Kent. There are half dozen Con-

MILITIA ARE NOT IN

In response to a request from Major
General Corbin. commanding the Reg
ular and militia troops on the Bull Run
battle ground, near Manassas. Va,
where the fall maneuvers OF the army
will be held, Major Porter, acting ad-
jutant-general, has prepared an opin-

eral Chaffee, chief OF staff, to the ef-
feet that militia troops participating
in maneuvers in time Of peace with or
ganizations Of the Regular establish
ment are not to be considered in the
service OF the United states.
The decision Is timely, as 10000 men
VIII be engaged in the Manassas ma
neuvers. and in case of misconduct by
the militia troops, which will outnum-
Der the Regulars, the question OF iu-
risdiction might have proved trouble

militiamen shall submit themselves to
the command OF the officers in COM

understood that as an incident of such
command discipline in the militia is ia
