1t is all very we'll to consider loyalty
to party principles in connection with
the proposed fusion of democratic and

coming elections. But of what use to
society are the soundest political prin-
ciples, unapplied in government There
is positively no hope for democratic
participation in state government as
long as the present republican organi-
cation controls that government, and
loyalty to principle is all good demo
crat may hope to find consolation in.
But if the democrats of Vermont, join
ing unitedly with the Independents,
could GUST the reigning family from
the throne, and this is not improbable,
there might leone time, some day."
when Vermont democracy would have
an opportunity to make practical appli
cation upon its own home government
of those principles to which its long
and answering devotion is high
tribute. Is it disloyalty to party prin-
ciple to make open alliance with an
other party for the express purpose of
destroying dictatorship obnoxious to
both9 Some democrats do not think
so. They believe the end will justify
the means.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Trou.
bles-A Brattleboro Citizen Shows
How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. II suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only muscular weakness; when uri
nary trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself And so it is with
all the other symptoms of kidney dis.
orders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they lead to diabetes or Bright s dis
ease. The best remedy to use is Doan s
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills which
are caused by weak or diseased kid
neys. Brattleboro people testify to per-
manent cures.
Mrs. M. w. Bingham, wire of M. W.
Bingham, carpenter, of 3 Prospect
street, Brattleboro, VT, says: ssResi-
dents of this city will remember the
testimonial in which Mr.. Bingham
recommended Doan S Kidney Pills some
seven years ago. Previous to that
time he had been more or less bothered
by kidney complaint and its attendant
symptoms. He procured Doan' s Kid.
ney Pills and their use absolutely PROV
ed that the claims made for this prep
aration were not exaggerated. Since
then there have been times when he
has had slight returns of the trouble
but he has always used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they have on each occasion
stopped the attack before it became at
all bad. We are glad to recommend
Doan s Kidney Pills whenever an on.

The much-discussed cruelty-to-ani-
