Lee Herdman of Omaha is slated by, the pop contingent at Lincoln to succeed D. A. Campbell as state librarian and olerk of the court The democrats got one lone coun cilman out of the election in Omaha. The republicans made a good straight fight and won a most com mendable viotory. The esteemed Independent con tinnes its weepings and lamanta tions. Eves is now robbing the county blind on blanks and still he howls for more. ij> - -— The fact that the Third ward went 000 republican in the Omaha elec tion Tuesday against 600 fusion last fall is very damanaging to the ranks of the Holcomb crowd in that community. . Ladysmith has been “relieved.” That is, English soldiers have gotten into the city and relieved their com rades there of the gloom and fear that has hovered about the camp for many weeks. »»•»■« For the benefit of our calamity readers The Frontier directs atten tion to an item of news stating that owing to a tie-up in materials build ing manufacturers of Chicago have shut down, and thus put upon the labor market 10,000 idle men. THE CONSERVATIVE WEST. (St Louis Globe-Democrat.) Tbe - democrat Hartford Times has a mistaken notion abont tbe re gion in which its party is going to hold its next national convention. “In going west rather than in com ing to any city east of the Missis sippi, ’ that paper remarks, “tbe Brayan crowd have instinctively manifested their disposition not to yield to the conservative element in tbe democratic party, or to abandon tbe propositions to which they com mitted themselves, bat failed to commit the Democracy of the country, in Chicago in 1896.” That is, it believes its party has surrend ered itself to its extremists in selecting Kansas City for its meet ing place instead of New York, Hatford, Baltimore, Philadelphia or some other town on the sunrise side of the Alleghenies. But the region on the western side of the Mississippi is not quite so radical as the Hartford paper seems to imagine. True, this locality has Nebraska in it, and Nebraska, after formerly being sane and republican, Las been recklessly populistic and democratic in the past few years, and has contributed to the list of democratic candidates tbe most unlit man for the duties of the pres idency which the democratic party in its long career ever put up. That state, moreover, sticks to that aspir ant when all the really level-headed men in bis party, like Gorman, Stoat) and Altgeld, know be will be overwhelmingly beaten in the can vass this year. There is a chance, too, that the same candidate will carry that state next November, though undoubtedly he will carry fewer states west of the Mississippi than he did four years ago. If the Hatford Times, however, takes a glance at the election returns in some of the states west of the Mississippi for the past few years it will find that this section is a good deal more conservative than it imagines. The Btates of Washington, Wyoming, South Dakota and Kansas which went to Bryan in 1896, have turned against him in elections since that time. They will unques tionably be against him in 1900. Colorado, too, which bad only one party in 1896, the Bry&nite, is cut ting loose from that discreditable connection, and is moving back to the republican fold. The ' chances are that Bryan will not get this year more than half as many elec toral votes between the Mississippi and the Pacific as he did four years ago. The democrats of this locality, as a class, are of the featherhead order which the Harford democratic journal intimates, but the demo crats of the west are a steadily diminishing quantity. True, they may be as numerous, relatively to the whole party, as they were in 1000, but the whole Democratic party as a whole will constitute a smaller part of the aggregate voters of the country this year than it did in the year in which Bryan was first beaten. -- The president’s little speech at the Ohio sooiety meeting at New York on Saturday evening was a model for brevity and point. Some of the sentences with which he punctured the various fakes and frauds that the popocrats have been laboriously building up the past year for political animation are not only admirable as epigrams, but go straight as rifie bullets to the bull’s eye of the situation. Collected they would make hardly a stickful of type by the old fashioned printer's meas urment,and yet they dispose of every one of the new "principles” on which the Bryanites depend for their quad rennial wind pudding this fall. McKinley is a busy man and a busy man always learns to save time.— Lincoln Journal. ■-«-*•«-» On the day after election Mayor Moores sent to Editor Hitchcock of the Omaha World-Herald (which paper, by the way, was a vigorous Poppleton champion) a box containing a pair of silk socks,1 a fragrant boquet and a few words of gratitude for the part the World Herald had in his election. No doubt this is a mark of charity to Mr. Hitchcock, who has felt the "sting of ingratitude” many times of late. The re election of Mayor Moores of Omaha by a majority of 1,000 is a vigorous rebuke to the mud sling ing tactics of campaigning. The mud batteries of Omaha were direct ed against Moores with all their energies, and his election is a signal triumph for decency above dirt. President McKinley is a free trader when it comes to trading with his own islands. No pressure from withont or .within has any effect on the president’s belief that the people of Puerto Bieo are en titled to free trade with the United States. With respect to the Puerto Bican tariff the president has been violently assailed for inconsistency in favoring a tariff of 15 per cent, of the Dingley schedule when he had recommended freetradefor the island. As soon as the tariff bill passed the president sent in a message urging the remission of the duties, and within two hours congress had a bill through the mill providing for such remission. The maneuver has taken the wind out of the democratic sails and the president’s critics arc paralyzed. The democrats plead for free trade for the island and held it up for tender mercy in its dis tress and wasted condition. The remission of duties will effectually do the business and accomplishes the purpose President McKinley has bad in mind all along. Women Against Women. (New York San.) The advocates of woman suffrage are now encountering more than ever before a form of opposition against which it is hardest to con tend. The willingness of men to extend the suffrage to woman would have been made manifest long ago in practical measures granting them the privilege if it bad not been for the stout resistance by woman them selves, and the success of these femininejopponents in the past has emboldened them now to redouble their efforts whenever the project is waged by their suffrage sisters on congress or the legislatures of states. As a consequence of such fem inine opposition, the house of the Massachussetts legislature, on Tues day, rejected a bill for muncipal woman suffrage by the great majority of 124 to 42. Two other women suffrage bills now before that legislature, one for general and the other for married women’s suffrage, it may be assumed will share the same fate, for the organiz ed feminine opposition to them all has been stronger and more pres istent than ever before. The same is true with regard to the proposi tion as made to congress. Obviously so long as the great majority of women cry out against the imposition of such a burden on them, men will not disregard their wishes, and every attempt of the women suffragists to accomplish their purpose has made it manifest in all the other states that there is such a majority against them. Instead, therefore, of continuing to bring to bear their influence on legislature, it has become accessary for them to turn all their -energies on wonen themselves in order, if possible, to educate their sisters at least to toleration of the franchise, though it cannot be denied that, so far, many years of agitation have rather increased than overcome it. “Hereditary bondsmen! know ye not, Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow?” Ok, i ho Satlnt-nk of l*r«»p<rltyI — *‘Everyt ling seems to be lost for the time being in the whir of money-mak ing—the pursuit of m ney."—John R.

MARRIED THE MAN SHE HAD BEFRIENDED. ffM k Political Refugee—Met Him on a River Steamboat, Became Inter' ested in Him and Helped Him Through College. A romance ia recalled by the ap pointment of Dr. Seblan Roes as super intendent of the South Dakota hospital for the insane at Yankton. The story is of the manner in which the doctor won his bride, who was mother supe rior of the convent of the Sacred Heart at Yankton. While to the secu lar world the affair was looked upon as a romance, to the Catholic world it was a sad tragedy. Mother Mary Paul was the daughter of a well-to-do Iowa family, but, becoming imbued with re ligious fervor, she took the veil and afterward became superior of the con vent at Yankton. She had been left quite a sum of money by a wealthy un cle, with the understanding that she could use it as she pleased, providing it did not revert directly to the con vent treasury. In spending this money in works of charity she traveled a great deal, and it was on one of these trips that she met her future husband, who was employed in a minor capacity on a river steamboat. He was then known as a political refugee from Rus sia. The sister became interested in the young mah, and it was through her influence that he went to college and studied medicine. On returning to South Dakota he was appointed physi clan to the convent, and frequently met Mother Paul in the discharge of his duties, and finally fell in love with her. One afternoon Mother Paul left the convent, met the doctor, and went to the home of Itev. Joseph Ward, a Protestant minister, and they were made man and wife, no license being necessary. Mrs. Ross returned to the convent and performed her duties as usual for about a week, when she con fessed the whole proceeding to her confessor. She left the convent and drove to her husband’s house, with whom she has since resided. Mrs. Ross was afterward restored to her rights in the church, and her first child was christened at the altar at which she had once forever renounced the world and taken the vows of a nun. The affair proved a blow to the con vent from which it never recovered, and the community was finally dis solved. Whosoever has suffered from pile knows how painful and troublesome they are.

So are Backache, Nervousness, Dizziness and the Blues. They all come from an unhealthy state of the men strual organs. If you suffer from any of these symptoms— if you feel tired and languid in the morning and wish you could lie in bed another hour or two —if there is a bad taste in the mouth, and no appetite—if there is pain in the side, back or abdomen—BRADFIELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR will bring about a sure cure.
