would think from editorials and re-
ports in the newspapers and the
speeches OF politicians that the cleo
ton OF either OF the candidates or the
political parties would be fatal to the
Republic. Each party charges corrup-

thing requisite for the administration
OF the affairs OF this great government.
We can scarcely remember presiden-

The administration rapidly drawing
to q close is perfect illustration or
the impossibility OF any man being
able to force his personal policies and
opinions upon the people without the
support OF congress. Out OF the multi
plicity OF suggestions and demands OF
the president but an Insignificant num-
Der have been Sustained, notwithstand-
ing the fact that both houses OF con-
gress are dominated by the party
which elected him and his undisputed
personal following by the people. This
fact presents a curious anomaly. An
overwhe Ginning majority OF the people
have clamored for his denomination
and continuance in power. AT the
same time the people have sustained
congress In the rejection OF his num-
erous messages and persistent de-
mands that his wishes govern legisla-
ton. His violent accusations against
individuals have borne little fruit In
the direction OF conviction OF these
men OF the crimes OF which they were
accused. And yet his name has tai
ismanic influence over the masses.

cause OF the personal abuse OF candi-

that II Americans will make such at

Of men who are prominent enough to
secure nominations OF any political
party. they should not expect Euro
pean governments TO respect the chief
magistrate OF the United States. II
Is incomprehensible to them that men
OF such despicable characters as can

paigns to be should be nominated by
any party II is amazing and equally

ton Is over. the press and the people
are Just as enthusiastic and demon
strative in attributing to the president
all the virtues In the decalogue until
he nears the end Of the four years
| term for which he was elected.
II would be expecting too much to
hope to have presidential campaign
conducted on high principles. As

Who Is a Christian

Who Is q Christian In this Christian land

Not he who sits I'm soft, upholstered pews
Bought by the profits of unholy greed,
And looks devotion while he thinks OF gain
Not he who sends petitions from the lips
That lie tomorrow In the street and mart
Not he who fattens another's toll,
And filings his unearned riches to the poor.
Or aids the heather with lessened wage,
And builds cathedrals with an increased rent

How must Thou weary of Earths christian" clans.
Who preach salvation through Thy saving blood
While planning slaughter Of their fellow men.

Is built on love- on kindness anc on faith;
Who holds his brother his other self:

And hides aim purpose In his heart

Tells How to Mix il.

A well-known authority on rheumatism
gives the readers of large New York
daily paper the following valuable, yet
simple and harmless prescription, which
any one can easily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce !;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle and
bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken regu-
larly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without iniuring the
stomach. While there are many so-called
rheumatism remedies, patent medicines,
ETC., some of which do give relief, few
really give permanent results, and the
above will, no doubt, be greatly appreci-
ated by many sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information that
these drugs are harmless and can be
bought separately, or the druggists here
will mix the prescription for our readers
if asked to.
