They nro nfraiil to nominate anybody for vico president nntl nto auto that they will be tmulu public huRliing stock if they don't. (Son. Chnrle.s F. Miudeihon is bcinp; iiiitt) pioniincntly mentioned us u possible "good western man" for the nomination of icti picsident. Should ho be noitiiuuteil u wonder uhnl the demo-pops would ttulMitulu for their campaign cry oL'DU which was "stand up for Xobnisl.li " Two third of the population of it western country changes every ten years. Tlio lh.it tiling an intelligent new arrival does is to .subscribe for a local newspaper as theio is no other way in which ho can so easily get tlio run of things. The business man who keeps this fact in mind and constantly keeps his name ptomiiient in tlio local press is the man who will naturally catch the trade ot these people and if he is the right kind of a ma i hi can hold it. Tlic litiViiHss man who fails to keep up with the procession isU'iv soon out ili-taiici d l) joumrci ami mote ipoiniis iiul, and the man who think-, ho can so lit inly establish li bus iness in thiseotiutiy wheio population shifts so rapidly, without cllort, is doomed to ptievous failure. When a man snys that his business is so tirtuly established that ho doesn't uocd to push or ndvertiso it, you can conclude th a the is a fossil Jwho is so llnnly established, like a rottou log, that tho moss lias already started on his back. . Two populist national conventions aro beltiR hold this week, one at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and the other at Cincinnati, Ohio. From press dls patches ono is led to concludo that each winff of this great reform party has troublesome ideas of their own and also thankful that tho couven. tions aro far enough apart so that there is no danger of tho ideas of ono crowd Tho city has settled down to some thing like its old haimony. Xow why not let it stay that waj?. Mrs. (Jeo. V. Downy made somewhat ol a tour of the western and southern states this week. Her husband accom panied her. Just put it down in your scrap book that farmers in this immediate, section of Xebrtiska ore in prosperous circtim stances and that the crop outlook was never more promising, It has been now on days sinco the stato convention was held, and as yet the demo pop pit'.-s nus not been able to tlnd nnjtlii.ig itu "in to f.iy about V 11 Diituch oi mi) if the M t of the state ticket. (Jol. Hryan will rest from May loth until nfter tho democratic covention. During his vacation ho ought to lovisu his picturoof tho distressed farmer of tho west, who lives iu a hovel, without books or papers, or any of tho com forts and hardly tho baro necessities Cfllfe. Tho only thing tho fusion press can tlnd against W. S. Morlan is that ho is a railroad attornoy. That surely is no discredit, but to tho contrary it speaks well for his ability. Such corpora tions aro not in tho habit of hiring iinyono except competent men to Inu tile their business. ... . . Tho fusiou pops now in session at Sioux Falls aro all at sea and no doubt liavo begun to wish they hod put oil m Life's a soch Race To a sick tnnu. lie's hobbled, hamper ed, handicapped b his sickness. Kvery little while he has to lay off for n day. lie can't get ahead. Kvery Ixxly passes him in the struggle for success. If sickness origi nates in n dis eased condition of the stomach (and most sick ness does) there's a cure for it. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery is not a cure oil, but a medi cine specially dc ' tied to cure iU i i i -. of the stttiuieh mid er gons of digestion and nutrition. It cures many forms of disease, because many forms of disease originate in a diseased con dition of the stom ach and digestive and nutritive system. "1 write to tell you of the (treat ttenefit I have received from the uc of l)r l'ierce's RoMen Midlc.il Discovery," writes Mr G II Illrtl. of IlyrnsUlc, Putnam Comity, West Va "It cured me of n very had c.ic of indigestion associated with torpid liver Ileforv I began the ue of '('olik-ii Medical Discovery' I had no apiittite, could not sleep or work nut very little The little that 1 utv did not a&rec with me; bowel coutip.Ucd and life wai a misery to me I wrote to Dr Pierce, Kiving the syuip turns, nud asked for advice You advised me to try the 'dolden Medical Discmery,' so I be Kin the use of It, and nllei t.iklui; four bottle I Ml well lint I went to work but soon j-ot worsi.so 1 ii 4 mi betjiin tlu u ol it. and u;d II nl) ut .I!U mid,) lunger wlun I w.is per riiiieiitly cured I tool, in all nlwul twelve t I'.tln ol the 'Discovery,' and winu ul Dr l'ierce's PltM-nnt Pellet iu connection with the 'Discovery-'" Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets keep the bowels iu healthy action, getting tangled up in tho wheels in tho heads of tho other crowd. Ihelr opin ions of each other would lead ono to believe someone lir.d got kicked out of the populist bed. Ignatius Donnelly in speaking A tlio fusion populists at Sioux Falls remarks that "the Lord has separated tho sheep from tho goats and tho exuviae ate all gathered at Sioux Falls in obsequious severally to tho democratic party. They are part ing their coat-tails and inviting the democrats to kick them, and every time they aro kicked thoy thank God and take courage " And the other gang refers to the Cininuati crowd as "bolters nud self-constituted patttots, only n few in number but very noisy." That is what Is commonly called har mony iu populist ranks. In speaking oj the vicu presidential possibilities on tho republican ticket tho St. Louis (Jlobe Democrat says' "Pot Imps the sttongest of the good western men yt brought forward is (Jon. Charles F. Manderson of Xebras kit. Tho foinier senator, has not treated the mention seiiously asyel. Probably he cannot bo called a candidate. Two years ago ho went out of tho senate, where he was one of tho strongest men iu his party, with the avowed intention to devote himself to his profession. Tho mention of his nanio has shown that ho is widely popular in tho west and commands tho respect of tho cast. If Gon. Manderson should bo chosen for tho second place on tho ticket, the unprecedented fact of a presidential ticket marie up of follow-townstuen woulri bo tho result. General Marnier son has boon so thoroughly idcntilied with Nobraskn that not many peoplo know ho camo from Canton, Ohio. Ho was born in Philariolphia but went to Canton when ho was nineteen. There ho studied and practiced law. There ho entered tho army in 1801. To Canton ho returned in 1805, partial ly disabled by a desperate wound. He was threo times elected district attor ney, and then, in 1S09, moved to Omaha. William MoKinlov came to the front as the fotcmost republican of Canton when Charles F. Mnnrieiaon went west. Unless he shall prohibit it Xrhiak,-i v. ill pr.li;,lily p cscnt l.i name nt Philadelphia. And by all present indications, there will be s(V. I'i'al others." Whet e Mr. Hryan fails is in the fact that ho never gels beyond patty to principles. Ho has no conception of tho national spirit behind cxpansbn. It is enough for him to say that the to publican party is trying to change the icpublic to :m empite He has no ap prehension of the deep popular convic tion for Justice to Potto Kico. It issuf licit-lit for him that tho it-publicans liit plopped fin- tin .e and tlitn pi.i post d the taiill. Hi- ollti s no aiu mt-iil to sliuw that -ill tttHts ale ntr Mini bad, or mat a monopoly may oi may not l-msI hi other form than iu a tiut. He does not t-en catch tho principle that protective duties on ti list products should peremptorily bo struck off. His coso is satisfactorily matto up in tho declaration that tho ro publican paity is run for syndicates and by syndicates. His defense of freo silver is that tho rt publican party is insincere in its professional' bimotal ism. His chargo against tho gold standard is that the republicans have not been consistent in its support. His argument for an incomo tax is that Abraham Lincoln approved one and in 1894 republicans voted agalnft one. His poser against expansion is that no republican can say Just exactly what should bo done nud what will have to be dono iu tho Philippines. These aro welcomo sallies to tho dnino cratie partisan and catchy phrnses for tho rabble Hut they afford no light on the questions of the hour, they oiler no light to the sincetu student of our national ptobleuis. SCROFULA ZZ'.t'!7, Iu many respects Scrofula and Consumption arc alike ; they develop from the same gen- fjrm KAmm cra causes, ooin arc ucreuuary aim ocpenucm iipon an impure ami mi- m m9m vMffl Wf povished blood supply. In consumption the disease fastens itself upon r the lungs ; iu Scrofula the glands of the neck nud throat swell and suppurate, causing ugly running sores; the eyes are inflamed and weak ; there is an almost continual discharge from the cars, the limbs swell, bones ache, and white swelling is frequently n result, causing the diseased bones to work out through the skin, producing indescribable pain and suffering. Cutting away a sore or diseased gland does no trood : the blood is noisoned. The old scrofulous taint which has orobablv come down through several "; generations has jiollutcri every drop of blood. acroiuia requires vigorous, persistent treatment, rue blooci must oc nrougut uacic to aneaituy condition before the terrible disease can lc stopped in its work of destruction. Mercury, potash and other poisonous minerals usually given iu such cases do more barm than good ; they ruiu the digestion and leave the system iu a worse condition than before. S. S. S. is the only medicine that can reach deep-seated blood troubles like Scrofula. It goes down to the very roots of the disease and forces every vestige of poison out of the blood. S. S. S. is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known. The roots and herbs from which it is made contain wonderful blood purifying protwrties, which no poison, however powerful, can m mmm tmmmmm .mmmm mmmmmmm l"giesist. S. S.
