must not fight fire with FIRE; that on IA.
contrary, the way TO win out was !,
equal our foes in practical efficiency and
vet to stand at the opposite plane from
them in applied morality
II was not always easy to keep the jus
middle. especially when it happened tia,
on one side there were corrupt anu IN.
scrupulous demagogues and on the oth.,
side corrupt and unscrupulous reaction
aries. Our effort was to hold the scales
even between both. We tried to stapa
with the cause of Righteousness. eyep
though it's advocates were anything bu
righteous. We endeavOred to cut out IN.
abuses of property. even though gooq
men of property were misled into 10.
holding those abuses. We refused to b.
frightened into sanctioning improper as

that the champions Of property them.

fight battles, in which We neither took
nor gave quarter. against the most prom

the fights in which we were engaged were
for pure honesty and decency, and they

GETTING RESULTS.

As regards political advancement the
bosses could of course, do a great deal.
AT that time the warning Stalwart and
Half Breed factions of the Republican
party were supporting, respectively. Pres
ident Arthur and Senator Miller. Neither
side cared fer me. The first year in the
Legislature / rose TO a position of leader
ship, so that i'm the second year when
the Republicans were in a minority l
received the minority nomination for
Speaker. although / was still the young
est man in the House being twenty-four
years old. The third year the Repub-
Hcans carried the Legislature and the
bosses at once took a hand in the Speaker
ship contest. / made a stout fight for the
nomination. but the bosses of the two
factions. the Stalwarts and the Half
Breeds combined and / was beaten I
was much chagrined for the moment.
But the fact that | had fought hard and
efficiently. even though defeated, and
that | had made the fight single handed.
with no machine back ofdme, assured my
standing as floor leader My defeat in
the end materially strengthened my posi-
ton and enabled me TO accomplish far
more than / could have accomplished as
Speaker. AS 50 often found that the
titular position was of no consequence;
what counted was the combination OF the
opportunity with the ability to accomplish
results The achievement was the all
important thing; the position whether
titularly high or low, was Of consequence
only I'm so far as it widened the chance
for achievement. After the session closed
four Of us who looked at politics from the
same standpoint and were known as III
dependent. or anti-machine Republicans
were sent by the state convention as del
egates-at-large 10 the Republican Ma
tonal Convention Of 1884. where l advo-
Gated as vigorously as ! knew how, the
nomination of Senator George F. Ed
munds. Mr. Edmurds was defeated and
Mr.. Blaine nominated. Mr.. Blaine was
clearly the choice Of the rank and file Of
the party: his nomination was won in fair
and aDove-board fashion. because the
rank and file Of the party stood back of
him; and I supported him 10 the best Of
my ability i'm the ensuing campaign.
The Speakership contest enlightened
me as regards more things than the at
ttude of the bosses. ] had already had
some exasperating experiences with the

of feeling before found myself
At one period became so impressed with
the virtue of complete independence that
proceeded to act on each case purely as
l personally viewed it. without paying
any heed to the principles and prejudices
of others. The result was that / speedily
and deservedly lost all power of accom-
plishing anything at all; and l thereby
learned the invaluable lesson that in the
practical activities of life no man can
render the highest service unless he can
act in combination with his fellows
which means a certain amount Of give
and-take between him and them. Again,
l at one period began to believe that l
had a future before me, and that IT be
hooved me to be very farsighted and
scan each action carefully with view
to its possible effect on that future. This
speedily made me useless TO the public
and an object of aversion TO myself; and
] then made up my mind that would try
not to think of the future at all, but
would proceed on the assumption that
each office ] held would be the last l ever
should hold and that ] would confine my
self to trying TO do my work as well as
possible while l held that Office. ! found
that for me personally this was the only
way in which l could either enjoy myself
or render good service TO the country,
and I never afterward deviated from this

Editor Hoag Confesses

"For many years, as Editor and Proprie- tor of the Pine Plains, N. Y., Herald, l have advertised Dr. David Kennedy's Fn- vorite Remedy. While enjoyed not only the business relationship but the personal friendship of Dr. Kennedy, have never, until now, paid him long standing obli- Ration. For many years, as my friends so well know, suffered excrutiating pains from rheumatism. Many were the nights when it was impossible to sleep. Without much faith, I admit, I tried as sort of last resort, bottle of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, just as thousands of others had done before, and like them found perma- nent relief. Favorite Remedy has stood the test of time and believe it is the best medicine in existence for efectually eIpel- ling the cause of rheumatism-uric acid. My regret is that I have neglected to make this frank confession long ago. It makes my Kidneys do their work properly, tones up the liver and makes one feel that life is worth living. Ipublicly and earnestly ad- wise all my friends who are suffering from troubles that arise from unhealthy Kidneys and Liver, to get bottle of Favorite Rem edy at once. There is no use in putting it of as did. S s. T. HOAG, Editor"

Stafford Springs People Should Learn
 to Detect the Approach of Kidney
 Disease.
 The symptoms of kidney trouble are many. DisOrdered kidneys often ex- crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by sensation of scalding. The back may ache, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighted down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger. Delay often proves fatal.
