Democracy's Order of Things Stirs
UP a Hornets Nest.

The action of the Democratic county
convention last week with reference to
the appointment of conferees by the chair
man of the convention has called forth
coniderable comment, pro and con.
ManyDemocrats have expressed their dis
approval of establishing such precedent.
For years it has been the custom to per-
NIT the district nominees to appoint their
own conferees and to deny them this
privilege naturally causes considerable
disaporoval. The question was strenu-
ously opposed in the convention, but the
Remove contingent, assisted by those in
sympathy with the new plan, controlled
the convention and defeated the oppon-
ents of the innovation From what can
be learned this action will not conduce to
harmony in the Democratic ranks

DR.. Heilman'S New Treatment
We had lately frequently heard that
Doctor Heilman was placing in his
offices various electric appliances for
producing X-rays and for general
electric treatment of different human
ailments. When he told us that he had
everything arranged and was doing
see his outfit, we concluded to do so.
The Doctor favored us with a few
sample treatments. Some of them
were very refreshing We cannot
enumerate nor describe the various
appliances and treatments, because we
are not familiar enough with them to
do so, although the Doctor explained
them very fully and clearly to us. He
assured us that everything was of the
latest approved and best makes and
strictly up-todate. Judging from
general appearance we believe this TO
be correct. We were particularly we'll
impressed with the familiarity the
Doctor exhibited in explaining them
and handling them in their various
details In reply to our commenting on
this he said ''that is simply the result
of about two years of hard study and
a few visits abroad, taking Post
Graduate courses in this particular
work" In short this outfit is such
that for appearance, completeness and
for adaptability for the purposes in
tended any pretentious sanitarium
might we'll feel proud to possess. The
Doctor says that while electricity, as
exhibited in and produced by these
appliances, is not 'cure alp and
everything cannot be done with it,
yet there are many things that can be
done with it that cannot be done with
anything else and many diseases that
can be cured by it's proper application
that cannot be affected by other known
methods. There now seems to be no
need for our people to visit the large
cities for this class of treatment. 1t
can be given just as thoroughly in our
own town. 1t has evidently taken a
considerable amount of money, thought
and work to bring about this result.
The Doctor says that he does not
know that he will get his money back
from the use of his outfit, but that he
does know that he will be able to
do better work for his patients, as we'll
as derive much personal satisfaction
from its use. We believe our com
munity will appreciate this commend
able spirit of progressiveness.

argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filing a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
IL. for always before they had given
il away freely. They hired a job
printer TO run on some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medl-
cine, now called Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, TO a great extent,
self-advertisng, for whoever used IL
recommepdedit to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam.
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
dnv Lydia F Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have. become house

tons Of roots and herbs are used annu.

Lydia e. Pinlham herself did not
live TO see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively IS she could have done it
herself
During her lorg and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical In her
work and SIZE was always care full to pre-
10 rye a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ
ing syn ptoms. treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds Of thousands made since. are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment Of woman's ills, which for
authenticity ard accuracy can hardly
be equaled In any library in the
world.
With Lydia 2. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hAEd-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence,
To her hands naturally fell the

tor passed away. FOR nearly twenty
FIVE years she has continued Il, and

IneOnaistency OF Bryan.
H. J. Cornish spoke at some length on gem

said Mr.. Cornish, and Il is certainly an
interesting spectacle TO see the leader OF
the democracy approving a republican ad-
ninistration. Never has there been any
legislation enacted TO prevent and control
the rapacity OF organized capital but what
was passed by he republican party. The
great policies Of the republican party have
not been created by the rank and file Of
the party The party is not as much in
danger from the attacks OF the democratic
PARTY rs Il r. from the leaders OF the demo-
cratic party trying TO get into the repub-
lican party. The old democratic doctrine
OF states rights will be the last bulwark
Of monopoly as It was Of slavery. Members
OF congress are nominated by the democ-
rncy OF the south without the vote Of n
laborng man and are so elected, for the
aboring man of the south is the negro.
The only thing that is regarded az lower
in the human scale in the south than the
negro Ia the white man who works. Mr..
Bryan IA euiogised for his courage. Let him
display that courage by speaking one word
In defense of the oppressed and disfrans
chised negro of the south and I will be-
lieve that he has some courage OF his con-
victions. The color OF the black man is
regarded as the badge OF his former slavery
IN the south and he can never expect
justice there, civil or political. The demo-
cratic party Of the south Is dominated by
people who would deny civil and political
rights TO the laherer of whatever race or
color. II is the great middle classes Of
people Of this country that make up the
republican party as we'll as the commercial,
