Tarklo (Mo.) World: Tho Round
Itobln is still In ovldonco in tho Phil
ippines. In fact thoro nro too many
'round robbln' in that country now.
Rogers (Tex.) News: Tho Jackson
Day colourations domonstratd that tho
democracy la unterrlflod and will
stand for tho right though tho heav
ens fall.
Covington (Tonn.) Record: Those
mon who voted for Palmer and Buck
nor and Josiah Patterson should wait
awhilo boforo asking democrats to
nominate thorn.
Brockonrldgo (Tox.) Democrat: It
Is a disgrace to this country that alio
has not yet offered a word of sym
pathy to tho Boors.
Lexington (Mo.) Intolligoncor: Im
mense is tho power of tho federal
judgo. Tho czar of all tho Russlas
would porforco take, off his hat to tho
avorago fodoral judgo in this country.
Albion (Mich.) Mirror: If it bo con
sidorod necessary to exterminate tho,
Filipinos to rotain tho Philippines the
administration should frankly ; say so
boforo tho killing goes any further.
Wasco (Ore) Nows: Tho closer a.
govornmont Is to tho peoplo governed
ttio.moro interest thoy fool in tho gov
ernment. A government rulod by
bosses, cliques, and commissions, only
breeds disinterest, .in its affairs.
Anna (UK) Democrat: Tho Fili
pinos aro "uncivilized," "incapable of
solf-govornmont;" yet tho United
States pays two of them $6,000 a year
oach as judges of tho highest court
in that archipelago! Pretty good for
barbarian!
Sparta (111.) Argonaut: Tho repub
licans still koop up tho old song that
"froo pllvor Is dead." It is Hko whis
tling whon passing a grave yard on a
dark night thoy seom to be afraid
that its ghost will como back to tor
mont thom.
Torrlll (Tox.) Democrat: Perry
Bolmont Is another democrat who "will
have to go away back and sit down."
Mr. Belmont was dofoated for congress
in tho Seventh New York district by a
Mr. Lessjor, republican, notwithstand
ing that Bolmont was a dyed-in-the-wool
Clovoland or gold democrat.
Olympla (Yash.) Standard: Just a
little more tariff burden, a little more
trust, a little more widening of condi
tions that are so palpably unjust, and
thero will bo a change in parties so
radical and far-reaching that It will
forever relnstato tho people as rulers
of our great free government.
Sldnoy (la.)- Democrat: A gold
democrat Is a democrat with democ
racy loft out; or a democrat that al
ways aids in tho olectlon of the re
publican ticket. If things wore always
called by their right names such per
sons should bo called republicans, for
such they aro in fact.
Langdon (N. D.) Courier-Democrat:
The republicans seem determined to
pass the ship subsidy bill, steal or no
steal. Loaders of that party have
passed that stage whore shame cuts
any figure in the case. In their scram
ble for spoils they have become dar
ingly open In their rascally doings.
Schnectady (N. Y.) Reflector: That
Mr. Bolmont was able to practically
buy his nomination is a sad commen
tary on our political system; but that
an unfit man running on a democratic
ticket can be defeated by democratic
votes is distinctly encouraging, and
speaks volumes for tho rank and file
in whom is vested final settlement. '
Albany (Ore.) Domocrat: Mr. Mor
gan is getting another live move Into
his frame and Is now about to organ
ize a colossal electric machinery trust.
Mr. Morgan knows that tho govern
ment Is so thoroughly In the hands of
tho trust that ho no longer hesitates
to call theso organizations by their
right name. Tho thing is all fixed.
Rochester (Ind.) Sentinel: If tho
self-reputed democratic newspaper!!
which have been helping tho republi
cans for six years would be effective
In gottlng back Into party confidence
they will go slow in dictating demo
cratic platforms and democratic tick
ets. Backsliders In church aro always
quietly penitent If they are sincere In
reconsccration.
Lincoln (Nob.) Independent: As
soon as a man gets money or gets
into a national bank? the republicans
scorn to think that ho has all the
qualifications that aro required to
mako a United States senator. He may
know nothing of government, have no
settled principles, lack all education,
but If he Is a banker. and. has money,'
ho Is the man that they want.
Mlllersburg (0.) t Farmer: What a
bargain we got when we bought from
Spain. her Philippine, war for a beg
garly $20,000,000. Instead of a cheap
Insurrection, 'our purchase turns out
to bo a $400,000,000 affair at Jeast, and
there Is no limit to the possible ex
pansion of tho figures. The greatest
luck Spain has had in 300 years came
to her in Manila bay and off Santiago.
Florence (Colo.) Ex Parte: Foraker
boasted that ho. had "the honesty and
integrity of the republican party of
Ohio at his back." The worst place on
earth, Bro. Foraker, to- keep republi
can honesty and integrity, when Han
na is in the market to buy, is at your
back. Whenever you buy the repub
lican honesty and Integrity, of Ohio
again, keep it in front of you, where
it will stay bought.
Las Animas (Colo.) Democrat: Oc
casional reports from the Philippines
inform the public that Uncle Sam is
slowly civilizing tho natives. On
an average ten aro civilized each wflsk.
As there aro about ten millions ot
theso pooplo it can bo seen that your
uncle has a long job ahead of him, but
if tho lead mines hold out he will
probably complete tho work before
Gabriel sounds a retreat.
Daphrie (Ala.) Standard: History
does not show so black a crime as Is
this war upon a people whose right
to govern themselves Is equal to that
of any nation. They are capable of
solf-govornment; they had an estab
Hshed government long before Dewey
destroyed tho Spanish fleet in Manila
harbor; they have been in revolt
against Spanish domination for more
than 200 years, and will continue to
fight until they win their freedom, or
aro exterminated.
Fonda (N. Y.) Democrat: Yep!
Funny things in politics. Mr. Griggs
tho New Jersey Griggs, if you please
gave up tho portfolio of attorney
general in McKtnley's cabinet because
the $8,000 salary would not justify his
leaving his private practice. Now
Mr. Griggs is scrambling to get sent
to the senate, where his salary will
only be $5,000. Either his practice has
fallen off or he doesn't regard a seat
In the senate as a bar to its contin
uance. Red Wing (Minn.) Argus: Among
the glorious gifts of the republican
party cited by Mr. Bede is a banking
law that falls down every time a
strain comes and a currency law with
suoh a hole in it that it can be ex
ecuted only by republican officials, an
irritating war in the Philippines and
an annoying scandal in the navy de
partment, a trade policy that would
prohibit International exchanges a

age. She was by nature a timid woman.
Nothing had been able to induce her
to cross the narrow, swaying plank
which brlged tho creek. Sooner than
take this short cut she would go a
mile above where there was a substan
tial wagon bridge. But now when the
fire was sweeping across the prairie,
consuming houses and crops, sho was
driven to t.e plank over tho creek as
the only hope of escape. Danger drove
her. Fear flogged her. And tottering
and trembling she made tho passage in
safety.
There are a great many sick women
who have heard for years of Dr.Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, the medicine
made famous by its cures of womanly
ills. But they have no faith in it. They
go the long way round to seek health,
and use the services of a local practi-

tloner. Perhaps when he fails they try
patent medicines. It is only when they
realize there is danger in disease; that
doctors can't help and patent medicines
don't cure that they are driven to try
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and
find it is the short road to health.
The Bridge That Carried Them Over.
Thousands of women unite in praise
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as
tho bridge that carried them to safety,
put them out of power of disease, and
gave them perfect and permanent
health. They ptit themselves on rec
ord for the benefit of others who suffer
and have exhausted all other means
used for effecting a cure.
"In April, 1900, my strength gave
out and I was obliged to go to bed,- sur
fering with female weakness, also had
ulcers and inflammation," writes Mrs.
Ellen D. Rollin, of Pierceville, Ripley
Co., Ind. "I tried a physician's remeciy
for a month, but got no better only
weaker. Tried another medicine six
weeks, but got no better, was quite
discouraged. I read Dr. Pierce's Mem
orandum Book, telling of the cures Dr.
Pierce's medicines had performed. My
husband said he would have more faith
In Dr. Pierce's medicine than in any
other, and he got me a bottle of tho
Favorite Prescription' at once. I began
taking it, and wrote to Dr. Pierce I
received several letters of advice, also
a small book treating on Woman and
Her Diseases. I followed tho direc
tions given as closely as I could.& Be
gan taking Dr. Pierce's medicines in
July, and in two months I was able to
do my housework. Took twelve bot
tles of 'Favorite Prescription also
four of 'Golden Medical Discovery
nafLaJevere cas1 of, inflammation and
suffered a great deal, but by persever
ing I regained my strength. Weigh
? tMnv. n mQ than l ever dld before.
I think'Dr. Pierce's medicines far ex
cel all others, and hope those who aro
suffering will turn to him for aid I
thank him for his advice and kindness
n ca5 hwrljly recommend his S
ment to all who may Be suffering as I
The cures effected by Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription are not tempo
rary, but pormanent. They are perfect
cures. It is not uncommon for women
to say that they never knew the mean
ing of. perfect health, even in tlielr best
days, until ihey had used "Favorite
Prescription." And thiB is because the
medicine is more than a mere cure for
female" troubles. It not only puts out
the fire of disease, but it rebuilds
what tho fire has destroyed, and often
on a finer scale, as in Mrs. Rollin'a
case, who, after her cure, weighed 25
pounds more than she ever weighed
before.
"Favorite Prescription" is a superior
tonic and nervine. It feeds the nerves
and' cures nervousness. It restores tho
appetite and gives natural, refreshing?
sleep. It builds up tho body, restores
the appetite and gives back the clear
ness of girlhood to the complexion sal
lowed by disease.
A Physician's Offer.
Reference is made by Mrs.Rollin and
Miss Johnson to correspondence with
Dr. Pierce. They took advantage of his
offer of free consultation by letter,and
Q acknowledge, their grati-
iuau, ior ine navico re
ceived. .The same offer, is
open to all. Every sick
wompn is urged to write to
Dr.Pierco.and also'seouro
thoopinion .of a specialist
in me treatment ana euro
of , diseases' peculiar- to
women. All correspond
ence is held as strictly, pri
vaie and sacrodly confi
dentialAddressrDr. R. V.
Pierco, Buffalo, -N. Y.
This offer olfrcG consul
tationby latter made-by
Dr. R. V. Pierco, is not to
bo confused with tho spu
rious offers of "frooTnedi'
cal advice" made by mon
or women who Ixavp ;no
medical knowledge or
training, aro nob physi
cians, are not permitted by law to .prac
tice' medicine, and cannot: .' therefore
give genuine medical advice.., Of
course, anyone' competent or incompe
tent can give" advice on any subject,
but the advice of unskilled persons In
medical matters is not merely value
less, but dangerous.
Dr. R. V. Pierco, as chief consulting
physician to the Invalids Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., as
sisted by his staff of nearly a score of
skilled physicians, has in a little more
than thirty years treated and cured
hundreds of . thousands of weak and
sick women.
"I received your letter some time
ago with advice about your wonderful
medicine," writes Miss Stella Johnson,
of 28 Brady St., Dayton, O. "I was
troubled with severe pains every
month when I wrote to you for ad
vice. After receiving your letter and
following its directions, I am now hap
py to say' that after Ave years of un
told suffering I have not had any pains
since first using your 'Favorite Pre
scription.' I was induced through a
friend to write to you and follow your
kind advice. I thank God and Dr. R.
V. Pierce for the health I now enjoy."
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion makes well women strong, sick
women well. It establishes regularity,
dries weakening drains, heals inflam
mations and ulceration and cures fe
male weakness. It cures backache,
headache and the other ills that result
from womanly disease.
Sometimes a dealer, tempted by the
little more profit paid on the sale of
less meritorious medicines, will offer
the customer a substitute as being
"just as good" as the "Prescription."
It is better for him because it paya
better, but it is not as good for you, if
you want the medicine that has cured
others, and which you believe will
cure you.
