From tbe Connecticut Enquirer.
The American peoplo live too fast, eat
too fast and drink too fast. 1 his has
brought upon many of us a train ot
nervous and stomach disorders that are
very difficult to mauage. Investigation
and chemical analysis to discover such
compounds as will help those suffering
from such ills Has resulted 111 uie ui
coverv of Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for
Pale People, which has taken very high
paiiU n n. sneeiflc remedy.
H. V. Owens, a traveling nnu mui.y
years of age, who is well kuowu in tins
community and generally liked because
he is a bright, euergetic young ieuow,
resides with his mother at 335 Centra
Avenne. Cincinuatti. Ohio. He has been
a victim of rivsneDsia which took the
mrin 01 continuous cuuriumiiuu, o,uu,
strangely enough, his mother sunered
from the same trouDie. air. uwens tes
tified to the merits of Pink fills m a
mnt enthusiastic wav. and said to the
Enauirer reDorter:
1 am clad to say anytning 1 can ior
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, because they
did me great good and other people
ouirht to know of their virtues as a med
icine in stomach troubles, it was some
time aero when I felt a heavy feeling in
mv stomach and I grew very oonsti-
nated. I did not consult a doctor, but
having heard of the Pink Pills I bought
a box of them. In two or three days the
heavy feeling in my stomach disap-
neared and mv bowels were regular.
did not have to use more than a box of
them before I was well. Since that time
I have onlv occasionally been troubled
with constipation and I never get wor
ried because I know just what to do.
Mother was also troubled with indiges
tion and the Pink Pills did the same for
her they did for me cured her didn
thev mother?"
When appealed to Mrs. Owens answer
ed: "That is right. 1 found that it was
a great medicine, so easy to take and so
ouick and lasting in its results."
Mr. Owens continued: "I believe that
these Dills are also good for nervousness
When I had my stomach trouble I was
also ouite nervous and that disappeared
with the dpspepsia. The Pink Pills were
all that is claimed for them: You can
make any use of this testimonial that
von see fit."
II. P. Owens has occupied several po
sitions of trust in this city. He was for
a time on enmlove of the Commercial Ga
zette. He will coon the road in a few
days for a prominent business house
here. Mrs. Owens is quite as entnusiasnc
as her son about the Pink Pills and her
host of ladv friends can varil'y her goo
opinion of this wonderful remedy if they
feel disnosed to do so at any time. Where
the testimony is so ceneral and unani
mous as to the excellencies of rinK 1 ins
as the Enauirer has found it to be there
is certainly cood reason to oeiieve an
the cood things said about the safe
and simple remedy.

give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They may

Ennobling Patriotism.
"Principles count for everything, and
men for nothing, in our struggle," said
Senator Allen in his letter to Governor
Holcomb, declining to be a candidate for
populist p.esident. What grand and en
nobling patriotism is uttered in those
few words of self-denial. If all of our
leaders were made of Abraham Lincoln
material, there would be no platform
trimmers, and when men were elected to
a little 2x4 and six behind country office,
they would not get the big-head and im.
agine they owned the party. The office
would seek the man, and principles
would not be trod over rough shod by
schemers in search of places. There is a
wide difference between patriots and pol
iticians. Beacon Light.

As a statesman William V. Allen is

their presidential nominee. He will be

Fool Fellows Trying to Organize a
Silver Party When one is in
Existence.
Ewixo, Holt Co., April 21, 1896.
Epitoh Independent: I see by last
issue an article from Brother Snyder. He
seems to fear that the populist party will
be swallowed and entirely disappear from
the face of the earth at the St. Louis
convention.
Now I tnink Brother Snyder is a man
who believes in God, does not believe in
ghosts, hobgoblins or myths and there
is no political organization at present
which is hankering to swallow the pop
ulist party. Let him believe in the prin
ciples of the party of which he is an
honored member and stand squarely for
the Omaha platform with some slight
modifications and perhaps an addition
of the Initiaitive and Referendum.
The fact stands clear cut and very
prominent to view, that there are a great
many silver men in tbe old parties who
really desire to have their 10 to 1 free
silver views crystalized into law. I say
if they are honest in their intentious,
there is but one intellegent course for
them to take, viz., unite with an organ
ization which has foryears contended for
lite coinage at the ratio of 10 to 1.
The idea of organizing another free
silver party on the eve of a presidential
election to accomplish something for
which there is already a powerful or
ganization already in operation with
over two million voters, and 'a press
which is alert, aggressive and already
numbers thousands ail such talk is
pure rot, and will answer for a demogogue
who is the loudest blatter Ior reform, but
claims he is still a democrat or a re
publican and shall always be, because
Dad was, or or some other reason he
don't know exactly what, but all on
account of the tariff.
Every old party man that knows any
thing about the workings of their
National Conventions is by this time
aware of the fact that the free silver
element won't amount to a pinch of
snuff they can swallow the goldbug
nominee or bolt it H they want to or
have the wool pulled over their eyes by
an ostensible free silver demooratic noni
nee with a constituency which declare
they will support a goldbug let him be
who he will. So we see he is between the
devil and the deep sea, he can take his
choice if he is intelligent and honest he
will go with a party who have always
redeemed their promises to the people,
and practice what tbey preach.
The other lellow has taken an
Iron clad oath and can never change his
political faith, no more than the Leopard
can his spots. No new idea can ever
reach him even for one moment, or enter
into his head, "where is he at, iust at
this critical time when he must choose?
The party lash cracks over his head
and Shylock takes another turn of the
screw and the post office and all the pub
lic political pap on which be has
nourished himself and grown fat seems
slipping from his sigbtl Has he
any convictions ol duty, ol American
citizenship, of liberty and manhood?
W here is his patriotism? Is he ready to
say " jive me Liberty or Give me Death?
Now is be ready to take a stand Ior
truth, for his country and put himself in
array againet this monopolistic, p!uto
cratic herd of money mongers who are,
and have been, ever since Lamest Seyed
from London, in 1873, came to this
thing we call congress and succeeded in
getting the demonetization of silver, and
who is now playitig into the hand ol old
England? God have mercy on his poor
benighted soul I What is it 1 hear him
shouting now? "Rah! for Grover the
3d" or "Rah forMcKinley" he amt par
ticular which one he shouts for and his
blindness and ignorance in this respect
is all the financial wisdom he is able to
display. He may as well yell for McKin-
ley and Grover, for General Harrison or
Dan Vorhees, they are all on a parity
when you come to the financial question,
und only differ about three per cent, on
the tann.
John Sherman can figure out that they
are the direct dfscendents of the apostles
and have entire charge of the financial
ark of the United States, when he wants
help to defeat a bill to coin the seignior
age, and make the way clear for another
issue of interest-raising bonds.
Let Brother Snyder glance all along
the line end take courage. Truth is om
nipotent. "The Eternal Years of God
are Hers," God is not dead.
True, it takes a long time for the peo
ple to get their eyes open and shake off
party ties. But a bought-up goldbug
press can't fool all
the
poepie ail
tbe
time.

A I'(iilM ltn!lrA'l,
The populists of Iowa have filed ortii'les
of incorporation of a railroad compuny
known as the American Railway Com
pany, and it is proposed to construct a
railroad from Council Illoffsto Chicago.
The scheme is one of the greatest ever
attempted by any party or class of peo
ple in tbe state. The plan is to con
struct it by selling shares of the denom
ination of $10, payable $1 every three
months.
The headquarters of the company are
at Des Moines. The populists have been

The following editorial is taken from
the March, 1806, number of the Odd Fel
lows Souvenir, tbe national organ of
the great fraternity of Odd Fellows. In a
personal interview with the editor we are
informed that this editorial is the result
of much consideration by many of the
most conservative members: that this
question has been under consideration
for more than a yearand theofflcial data
at hand is so convincing that it is use
less to attempt to claim that the present
monetary conditions are working great
injury to tbe order. In part, editor M.
F. Dowd said: "The present monetary
condition has been a great injury to our
order. Tbe official data received at this
office show that we lost in 1893, 36,886
members by suspension for non-payment
of dues and in 1891 the number dropped
was 48,339, a total or N5.225 lor tbe
two years, and it is believed that the
official reports for 1895 when completed
will show nearly as many suspensions as
in the year 1893-4 combined. In 1893
we initiated 72,807, while in we
initiated 63,855, a decrease of nearly ,
9,000. We have about 800,000 mem
bers in the United States and territories."
"Yes. they are all voters. Beforoa man
can become an Odd Fellow he is required
to sign a contract which is binding alike
upon himself and the order, hence it is
necessary that he should be 21 years of
age. When the situation is properly
understood I believe the American peo
ple will demand free coinage of silver at
the ratio oi 10 to i.

would like to see him do it. It would

been left to Mr. George Howard Gibson to intro
duce a new tone into the songs of the party, and
to write a series of patriotic songs which ar
bardly surpassed by any in our literature for
loftiness of motive and real merit from a literary
point of view, while at tne same time tney ore oot

necessarily be present before any song touches
the chord ot popularity. They are reroarkabl

In fact, if ths People's party rises io me paixiuuv
