mayor. In fact. anything seems sat
isfactory to the latter combination
that will deliver votes this fall.
Whether Governor Beckham is blind
to the knavery practised on Bingham
Tor whether he is helpless, no one
knows. Governor Beckham's politi-
cal success has rested principally on
his fidelity to his friends and his pol
icy of redeeming his pledges. When
Governor Beckham appointed Bing-
ham mayor and Lincoln county judge
and the others TO minor city and coun-
ty offices, he extracted promise from
them that they would stand for cleo
zion this fall. He promised Bingham
that John Vreeland, machine COM
mitteeman, under whom the malodor-
Gus election of 1895 was held, should
be supplanted by a commission TO
conduct a fair primary, as he knew
the city machine, repudiated by the
highest courts in the state, would try
to get back in power by fraud.
With this promise in view, Bing-
ham bearded Granger in the pres
ence of his friends and denounced
Vreeland, demanding a commission
to conduct the primary. This was
followed by the dismissal from the
police force of perniciously active
politicians and the reduction of cor
ruptionists and grafters to the ranks.
Then came the time for the redemp
ton of the pledge for a fair primary.
Frankfort was silent. The Louisville
Democratic papers roasted Bingham,
and still no word came from Frank
fort. Then it was made clear to
Bingham that he was de trop. He
came out in a singing rebuke to the
city machine and declined to run in
a primary race, he knew would be a
farce.
The Louisville machine, which re-
,eived an excoriation from the court

We believe Governor Beckham was
n earnest with Bingham; but Cover
nor Beckham's term is about over.
He is a candidate for the United
States senate. A new man is leading
he state Democracy and he is not in

pledges. The pothouse politicians
and district leaders hope only for
favors from Hager, should he be-
elected, and they care nothing for
word.
Louisville, with her rottenness ex-
posed. is again afflicted with the po-
litical maggots that have been feed
ing off her civic sores for years, and
the doctors at Frankfort have aban-
ioned the case.

ALASTING EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim
Made for Doan's KidneySsPilIs in
Brownsville.

Relief from the pains and aches
of bad back is always welcome
to every backache sufferer; but to
cure lame, weak or aching back
is what's wanted. Cure it so ii
will stay cured. 1t can be done.
Here's the strongest evidence to
prove 1t:
c. H. Hoencke, of 2319 Nc
Kinney Ave. Houston, Tex,
manufacturer and dealer in barrels
since 1872, says: For about a
year 1 had more or less trouble
with my kidneys. It was caused
by a cold or by straining my back.
[ had much lumbago, and when
ever 1 made a sudden movement
I felt a sharp darting pain through
my kidneys. Ny back was often
so lame and sore that l could not
stoop without suffering severely.
The kidney secretions scalded and
were very scant in quantity. 1
used remedy after remedy but
found little benefit until 1 got
Doan's Kidney Pills on the advise
of friend who had been cured.
By the time had taken half the
box the backache had disappeared
and the secretions were clear and
natural. I have advised many
others to use this remedy5.and al
ways keep a supply in the house. .

GIVE THANKS.

- - - . . .
Once more the national day OF
thanksgiving is at hand, and once
more the people of this great coun-
try all over the land will observe the
dayby assemblingin their respective
houses of worship to return thanks
30 a benefcent Providence for the
blessings which they have enjoyed
throughout the year. The OBJ
servance of a national annual day
Of thanks is peculiarly an Amer
1can institution, and it is one
which does homer to the sensibili-
ties of this people. There are many
of our people, it is true, who Go
not really enter into the spirit of
this day, but the greater part of us
are no doubt sensible of the fact
xhat thanks for what we have and
enjoy are due to the Power that
rules the world in common with
the entire universe. There are
some perhaps who are bowed down
with misfortune and poverty, who
may find it hard to attune their
hearts to the peans of praise and
sounds of rejoicing that will I'LL
the land tomorrow, but they are
Jew, as compared with the millions
who have prospered and are happy
IN the enjoyment of health and
plenty, and even a great part OF
the unfortunate ones will have
cause to be thankful tomorrow,
5y reason of the generous and
vide charities which will gladden.
the Door all over the land by gifts
Of good cheer. It is well for the
people of this great country to
pause for one brief day in their
mad and feverish rush after wealth
and place, to mediate upon the
fact that what they have is theirs
only by the grace of the Maker,
and that if is theirs only for tenn
pOrary use, and that in the end
ehe only thing which will be theirs
for for all time is the record of the
use which they have made of it.
There may be those who pride
themselves upon having made
What they have by their own ex-
ertions and who do not realize

circumstances which have per-
United them to accumulate what
they have, as we'll as giving them
health and strength to do it and
lite to enjoy the fruits OF their
labor, are not of their own making, !
and for these they are indebted to
a higher power. There are few
indeed who have not some cause

heart and ennoble the nature of
everyone who will unite with his
fellow countrymen tomorrow in
