I used three bottles of Mother's Friend before our last child came, which is a strong, fat and healthy boy, doing my housework up to within two hours of birth, and suf fered but a few hard pains. This lini ment is the grand est remedy ever made," Mother's Friend will do for every woman what it did for the Minnesota mother who writes the above let Ur. Not to use it during pregnancy is a mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering, Mother's Friend equips the patient with a strong body and clear intellect, which in turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes the muscles and allows them to expand. It relieves morning sickness and nervousness. It puts all the organs concerned in perfect edition for the final hour, so that the actual labor is short and practically painless. Dan ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether avoided, and recovery is merely a matter oi a few days. Druggist Mil Mother's Friend for 1 a bottle. The Bradfield Regulator Co., Atlanta. Ga.

It Is dcflnltoly j Bottled Hint Theodoro Roosovolt will pay Nebraska u vitilt during tho pending campaign. This statement iH mndo on tho authority of Chair man Lindsay of tho ntuto central committee, who frays that Governor Roosovolt will dovoto at least a weok to tho campaign in Nebraska. It will bo a great treat to tho pooplo of Nebraska to nco, not only tho uozt vico president of tho United States, bat ouo of tho foremost scholars and statesmen of tho nation n man of high dlstiuguishmcnt In civil and military lifo. Tho exact timo Governor Koosovolt will bo horo hajjiotj its ygt, boon dternjlucd.

It novr lias been, and is not now, tho dosiro of tho Rupublienn party to acquire publio j DMjniuuiiuii uj uunu JUUIUIIKOH. uuru tlian onco tho Rupublicau party has re sisted supposedly popular vagaries in tho face of a popular donmnd for thoir adoption, becauso it was confident thnt it was right nnd that tho vagaries wore not nlouo wrong, but fraught with frreat publio dangor. It is the party that struok tho chains of slavery from tho black man when more than half of tho nation opposed it. It is the party that disciplined a dis obedient nod rebellious confodoraoy and established forovcr tho unity of tho re public whilo nil tho world looked on in amasomont. It is the party that for 40 years has maintained an industrial polloy whioh distinguishes American labor from that of all tho rost of the world, and which has elevated it to a standard unequaled in the history of civilized nations. For 40 years tho Ilepnblloau party has stood guard at tho doorway of labor, repuls ing again, and again tho attacks of Democratic free trade. Defoated in their ropeated efforts to bring Amoricau labor to a lovol with tho pauper lubor of Europe, tho fusiouists havo adopted a now sohomo and that is to lure labor away from its safo moorings through alluring promises contingent upon a chaugo in tho monetary system. It isnt free trade uow, though tho fusloulsts nf"o just as much for frco trado now as they over woro, it is freo silver. Ouo is fraught with an much distress to the Amoricau pooplo as tho other. Neither can bo adopted with out being attended by iucouceivablo disaster. Tho Republican party bolioves in a freo people, froo homes and freo government it does not boliuvo in freo trado or freo silver. Ilxintisltii. Tho Republican party bolioves in ex pansion. It bolioves in extending tho benefits of freo citizenship and self government to every possible olimo. It believes in progress in commercial and territorial expansion, to tho end thnt nil may ho bouclltcd and tho world in gen eral brought under tho benign iullueuco of Christianity nnd intelligence. Tho history of tho United States is a history of expansion oxpunsion in ter ritory, as well ns in trade, art, science, and literature. Expansion upon any protext was until recently opposed by tho fusiouists. Thoy churgod that the Republicans wore imperialistic when they declared in favor of territorial ex pansion. They havo, in a degree, since changed their orthodoxy. Tho Demo cratic national convention at KausnB City which handled tho expansion question with such passive delicacy was hold in territory acquired by expansion. The sito of Kansas City is part of tho Louisiana purchase. Nebraska, tho homo of W. J. Hrynn, tho Domocratio candidate for president, was Spanish territory when Jotfersou was mado president. Nearly J100 moiubors of tho Kaunas City convention camo from ter ritory acquired through expansion. Moro thuti 40 of the dolegutes camo from territory annexed iu consoqueuco of the war with Mexico. Miuuosota, Mon tana, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and part of Colorado, hud 180 votes In the convention, and expansion re claimed this torrltory from Spanish dominion loss than 100 years ago. It would appear that the only kind of ex pansion whioh seoms to soar to tho npox of fusion estimation and expectancy is pulmouury expansion. Give them this, coupled with uncircumscrlbed loquac ity, freo from the moral restraint of ethical'jurisprudoucc, and in tho fusion way of looking at It, tho problem of ex pansion is solved. Forcod by publio opinion, however, and by tfio logio of the bltuutinn to acknowledge tho wis dom of the Republican polloy of expan sion, tho fnslonists aro now for expan sion conditioned on a most iuenngru cut contingency. In othor words, they favor a polloy of expansion that would not expand and would benefit all tliu other great nations of tho earth at tho exponeo of tho United States, riilllppliin Islands.

Thcso islauds had for two hundred years been nndor tho sovereignty of Spain nnd for all of that timo had folt and oxperioucod nil tho iniquities of monarchical rulo. When the hnnd of President McKinloy was rniscd against Spanish atrocities iu Cuba nnd tho Philippines, it wns not for tho purpose of acquiring new pos sessions in tho Orient. Naval ami mil itary strategy alono directed movement toward tho Philippines, and thoso wators wero invaded with no other object in vlow than the destruction or capturo of tho Spanish squadrou. Not until tho treaty at Paris was entcrod into did the United States undertako to excrciso control over tho Philippines. This treaty passed sovereignty over those islauds from Spain to tho United States, and it is a forcible romiudcr to Bryan and thoso fasionists who nro finding fault with tho McKinloy ad ministration for attempting to rcstoro law and order in tho Philippines, that this very obligation, this very duty, is the result of Seuator Allen's vote nnd the personal efforts of W. J. Bryan to have tho treaty ratified. Without Senator Allon's vote and without tho personal efforts of W. J. Bryan tho treaty could not nnd would not havo been ratified, and tho Philippine isl ands would not have passed to tho sovereignty of tho United States. After leing largely responsible for tho acquisition of the Philippines, Bryan and tho fusionists havo adopted a plat form of repudiation nnd they hold up their bauds iu abject horror at tho spectacle of an honest, commeudablo and patriotic offort on tho part of tho prosldout to suppress domestic lawless ness nnd rapiue iu tho islands. Like tho copper-heads of 1801 they are cas tigating tho McKinloy administration for oxn'ctiug obedience to tTio Well es tablished rules and ethics of popular government and at the snmo timo nro encouraging insurrection by soditioua utterances secreted in expressions of sympathy for n people bearing arms against tho United States. It is a prerequisite to popular govern ment that the governing power shall it self bo capable of self government. So soon ns tho Filipinos shall doinoustrato their ability to maintain a government nualogous to a republic just so soon will the Republican party through its au thorized representatives encourage that undertaking. Or Commercial Inimrlniice. Tho importance of tho Unltod States rotaining the Philippines, from a com mercial standpoint, is not to bo dis counted. It is nu important link in tho policy of commercial expansion. Par ticularly is this true whou considered in connection with American trado in China. It is only receutly, and ic is duo to tho wiso statosmnnshlp of Mc Kinloy, that American products havo found their way to China in any mater ial quantity. Tho "opon door" policy recently promulgated opens up to the fnrmors nnd producers of tho United Stntes n market, the consuming capa city of which challenges computation. China has an area of more than ouo twelfth of tho globe and a population variously estimated at between 300,000, 000 and 460,000,000. Her export and import trade reaches enormous propor tions nnd it will require timo and en ergy alono for tho Unltod States to de velop an enormous trado in that country and with these pooplo.

Tho Btnto hns been swindled out of thousnnds of dollars, nnd that, too, by tho representatives of tho very party that promised tho pooplo of Nebraska an honest and economical administra tion of public affairs. Not only havo stato institutions been mndo asylums for brokon down politicians, but tho publio funds havo been exposed to thoir rapacity with tho result, that while tho 20th general assembly or session of tho legislature appropriated tho enormous sum of $2,091,3711 for publio purposos, thoro will bo a largo dotlciouoy ut tho end of tho current year. Nearly ovcry institution has already exhausted tho nmouut appropriated for it and thcro are yet six months of tho timo unex pired. In somo of tho institutions laborers havo not been paid for soveral months and thoy will havo to wait until tho leglslaturo meets and passos an ap propriation boforo thoy can draw their pay. Thoro is scarcely an insti tution, iu fact, thcro is not one, that at tho end of tho present year will not havo a sadly depleted exchequer. What is equally ns bad as raiding tho treasury is ignorance aud incompe tency in managing the publio Institu tions. Evidence of this evil is abundant. Scarcely an institution has escaped. All havo been used to reward party satellites regardless of qualification or fitness. Poynter hns gono farther iu making tho publio patronago a legal tender for tho payment of personal ob ligation than auy other governor has dared to go.
