ANOTHER GERM DESTROYER. HePpieide Is Death to DandruR Germs

The germ burrows into the scalp. throwing up the cuticle in this scales, called dandruff, or scurf, and digging at the root of the hair where it saps the hairs vitality First comes brittle hair. then lusterless and dead-like hair, then falling hair, and, finally badness. Nine tenths of the hair troubles are caused by dandrufr Without dandruff. hair will grow luxuriantly, as nature intended. ''Herpicide" kills the dandruf germ leaving hair to grow unhampered, as 1t does with the American red man. Sold by leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample to The Herpieide Co. Detroit, Mich.

are In most cases q menace to health, though that is a serious consideration, for general healthy conditions cannot be maintained, while there are in all parts ot the city localities which are practically disease-breeders. One rotten spot In an apple will soon affect all the fruit and one filthy family In neigh which will spread in every direction.
 This. however. Is not the sole and only objection. for most of these houses and yards are eyesores to all decent people. A squallid. dilapidated and decaying shanty. with filthy surround- ings, is not an attractive neighbor. and in many cases in this city the resi- dences of our best citizens have just such neighbors. Not only this, but such conditions must necessarily lower the value of other property. Good white citizens do not care to buy and improve property if they are to be shouldered by such families as can be found in almost every portion of tho city.
 How this nuisance Is to be abated Is the question. As long as these old houses are profitable for renting to ne- groes they will be occupied by them. it matters not how undesirable they may be as neighbors. If the tenants remove: their places will be taken by others of the same class. If they are crowded out of one locality. the move ment only adds to the congestion in another place, so that general condi- tions are not bettered. In some in- stances. the negroes own their own property and some of them are we'll behaved citizens, but whether they are or not. there is no law to evict them that we are aware of. Tn the case of those who rent their homes. the owners of the property could refuse to rent to them, but 1t really seems that they must be profitable tenants for such houses are rarely vacant. It is an ever- present problem which seems difficult to solve.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.

OpOses Propostti0n To- Southern Man
 on Democratic Ticket. pzs. Jackson, Miss, Special. ,'
 Congressman John Sharp Williams does not want the vice-presidential nemina- tior of the Democratic party, and would not take the honor if offered to him by the St. Louis Convention.
 The first definite announcement to this effect from MT. Williams is conveyed in letter addressed to his close personal friend, Judge L. M. Garrett of Carthage. In this letter Mir. Williams deprecates any attempt to place a southern man on the ticket, and believes that every true member of the party who desires to pro- mote harmony in the ranks will put aside all personal feelings on the sub feet and select ticket that will not drag the South and the negro problem into the national campaign.
 In hts letter to Judge Garrett. MT. VII Hams states that if the factions of the party can be harmonized the success of the ticket named at St. Louis is assured and he will put forth every possible per- sonaI effort to this end. Judge Garrett was the manager of his Congressional campaign two years ago, and is one of hts most intimate personal friends Dur ing the coming Congressional campaign MT. Williams will not need a manager, as there is not man In the district who has the daring self-complacency and un- adulterated audacity to run against him.

The Logic Choppers.

When President Roosevelt was con- fronted by the problem of paying S40,- OOO.OOO for the Panama Canal in such manner as not to disturb the country s finances he made an engagement to that end with great American banker. This was proper. and the banker who under took the job was lauded for his patriot ism. When President Cleveland was con- fronted by the far more serious danger or the country going down to silver basis and suffering a financial convulsion he consulted and made an engagerent with the same banker; and in conse- quence of the arrangement the credit of che nation was saved and ruin averted. Ihis by a process of Republican chop, logic is accounted a crime. For wavk that are dark, etc., the political chon- ioglcians are more peculiar even than was the heather Chinee.

Nebraska State Journal.

 In States like Iowa, where there is nothing doing in the Democratic party except to walk up to the polls for slaughter once year or so, the advent of Willie Hearst ambassador loaded up with thousand dollar bills, is an event of importance and there is little doubt about the issue. The Democrat ic statesmen of Iowa are hungry and they have lasted for a long time. That Iowa should go for Hearst is one of the most natural things in the world Nebraska will doubtless follow suit.

WILL NOT TELL, THE TRUTH.

The Hartford tConn.) Times refers to Mir. Cieveland's successful efforts to save the honor and credit of the coun- try during his second administration and declares that it has never yet "seen a really fair statement on this subject in any Republican Party news paper" we-can assure The Times that it is not likely to see anything of the kind. Although MT. Cleveland Is not an issue, 1t pleases the Republicans and some Democrats to not only abuse him, but misrepresent him. The manner in which he saved the Government from the embarrassing conditions in which 1t had been plunged by the Harrison administration Is one of the most cred itable acts of any administration. That he should now be maligned because he has taken occasion to explain the trans action fully Is not oreditable to the American people.
 1. As before stated. Mir. Cleveland is not now an issue before the people, but he is an eminent American citizen who has a right to be heard. and who certainly has a right to explain two of the most creditable and important acts of his official career. His suppression of the Chicago riots. when an incompetent oi colIusive Governor, refused to act and his sale of bonds in 1ss3-4-5. to save the credit of the Government were two acts of which he may we'll be proud and for which he should be praised in stead of oensured. Now, after years of misapprehension or worse. when he writes full and thoroughly candid ac- counts of these things. there are cer- tain irreconciliables who censure him for telling the truth. Verify and truly there is no placating some people.
