For people who are weak and run
town there is no medicine so valuable as
Sr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
M cures diseases of the stomach and
iher organs of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
Skomnrh have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
rgans. When the stomach is n weak "
there is a failure to properly digest and
assimilate the food which is eaten,
ence the whole body, and each organ
mt it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as a consequence of " weak " stom
ach, there may be " weak " lungs, " weak"
kaart, "weak" or torpid livar, "weak"
aerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
Stomach and other organs of digestion
snd nutrition, "Golden Medical Discov
ery " enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of a healthy body. It increases the ac
tivity of the blood-making glands, and
SO increases the supply of blood which
la the vital fluid of the body.
There is no alcohol in the " Discovery"
and it is entirely free from opium, co
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people especially those
suffering from disease in its chronic fonn
are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter
free. All correspondence is held as
strictly private and sacredly confidential.
Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
There is no similar offer of free med
ical advice which has behind it an in
stitute of national note such as the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y., presided over by Dr.
Pierce, its chief consulting physician,
with the assistance of nearly a score of
skilled specialists.

aI mutt again send a few line to you to let
yon know how I am oettiiiff aloii since taking
lac wonderful mediciuc which cured me two
rears ago," writes Miss Bertha Rbeler, of 1416
Benton street, St. Louis, Mo. "1 still continue
fa very good health and think there Is not a
better medicine ou earth than Dr. l'ierce'a
Golden Medical Discovery. We would not be
without it In the house, and also the little
Fellrts.'
I have recommended Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to many friends, and they all
think it will do Just what is claimed for it. It
ia the best thing for nervousness and for a
weak, run down condition that auy body could
want. I was very nervous and weak last sum
saer. I took five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and it just made m feel like
new person. It ftives a person new life and
aaw blood. I can now work all day long with
out feeling the least bit tired. In fact I feel like
m new person.
"My mother was also cured by it of a very bad
state of stomach trouble about three years ago.
I thank you a thousand times for what you have
done for me and for your kind advice."
Watted to a Skeleton
"About six years ago my health failed,1 writes
Miss Alcthca if. Green, of Cuopstown, Harford
Co., Maryland. I kept getting down lower and
tower, until I could scarcely walk across the
floor without struggling and gasping for breath.
My, home physician pronounced it general de
bility and catarrh of the throat, but although he
did all he could, he failed to even relieve me I
tried various remedies, but all of no avail. I
soon wasted away to a mere skeleton. Finally
I was persuaded to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of
Boffato, N. Y., which I did immediately. And on
ncriving his very kind advice I commenced the
use of his ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and ' Fa
vorite Prescription.' I took fourteen bottles of
the 1 Golden Medical Discovery 1 and nine of the
'Favorite Prescription' and to-day I am a well
woauan. I do heartily thank God and Dr. Pierce
for my good health. "

The only English private train Is
that owned by the duke of Sutherland.
It was specially built at the Wolverton
ivorks of the London and Northwest

contains, stowed within the smallest
possible compass, a lnrge saloon for

kitchen, pantry and lavatories, the
whole connected by a series of hand
somely decorated vestibules and cor-.-idors,
says the New York Herald.
Viewed even from the outside, the
raln presents a sufficiently striking
ppearnnce, with its dark ureen ennm

The principal saloon bns a figured

NOMINATE ELKIN
Some Cogent Reasons Why the State
Boss Should Be Standard-Bearer.
It Is not often that the North Ameri
can finds It possible to ngree with the
machine 'or Its organ In any matter of
state politic or local government a
fact which goes far to confirm confi
dence In the correctness of the North
American's views but It feels con
strained by the force of logic to ap
prove the seloctlon of John P. Elkln as
the machine's candidate for governor.
By character, attainments and achieve
ment, Mr. Elkln Is pre-eminently qual
ified to carry the standard of the or
ganization. The organ of the machine
truly says that "his career Is one that
the young men might study with profit
to themselves." To a young man fit
ting himself for the practice of medi
cine, the study of a well-developed case
of cancer would be valuable. An as
pirant for Judicial honors might de
rive benefit from thorough acquain
tance with the history of a Jeffreys or
a Bacon or the career of a Pottor. To
the young Pennsylvantsn ambitious
to serve his state In political office, we
heartily recommend studious contem
plation of the career of John P. Elkln.
The North American's reason for en
dorsing the choice of Mr. Elkin as the
machine candidate are not precisely
those advanced by the exuberant organ
In support of lu action In making him
not only the organization's, but Its
own especial favorite. The fact that
he "was born In a log house in Indiana
county" does not seem to be an ade
quate reason for nominating him; and,
moreover, when the statement Is
coupled by the organ with the remark
able assertion that Mr. Elkin "Is self
made in every sense of the word," wo
must necessarily doubt that he was
born In a log house or anywhere else.
Interesting as we may find this theory
of the autogenesis of an Elkln, It fails
to appeal to us with much force as an
argument In favor of a certain line of
political action.
The North American favors the
nomination of John P. Elkln by the
machine for the single and simplo rea
son that he is thoroughly representa
tive of the machine, the embodiment
and epitome of machine politics and
machine morals. He is "regularity"
personified. His record and the ma
chine's record are written In the same
hand and Identical terms upon the
same page of Pennsylvania's political
history. When he began his political
career the career which young men
might study with profit he said to the
machine: "Where thou goest I will
go," and he has kept that pledge and
gone along not only without hesita
tion, but with joyous alacrity.
As the machine candidate for gov
ernor, John P. Elkln will command the
support of every political automaton
whose civic creed Is expressed in the
word "regularity;" of every political
pervert whose guiding motto Is "any
old thing to win;" of every retainer
of the bosses, big and little; every
client of the private license bureau,
and every mythical voter, dead or
alive, on the padded list. Mis name at
the head of the ticket will blazon Its
character and leave no honest citizen
in doubt as to his own duty on election
day.
The North American Is unqualifiedly
in favor of the nomination of John P.
Elkin by the Quay machine's state
convention. He Is literally the "logi
cal candidate" of the gang and Its
squalid organ.

Shame on those narrow-minded indi

The significance of the Babcock iron
and steel bill is not affected by the
fact that there Is little chance for its
becoming a law at this session of con
gress. The bill, coming as it does
from a protectionist, is the entering
wedge of free trade. It marks the
beginning of the end of the high tariff
system. Mr. McKlnley recognized the
drift of public opinion in his last
speech In Buffalo the day before his
assassination. The Babcock bill Is In
line with the policy suggested in that
address. Protection is stabbed in the

SHORT TALKS
Brief Comment on Political and Other
Matters of Public Interest.
If Treasurer-elect Harris can find
any consolatlqn In the verdict in his
libel suit against Hon. P. Gray Meek,
ho is satisfied with the thinnest sort
of a husk. We admit that it looks
rather rough for a man to take the
treasurersblp of a great state like
Pennsylvania while resting under the
charge of being the prince of thieves
and the chief of crooks, but It looks
far worse to have it practically proved
in open court. Mr. Harris evidently
depneded on the favor of the court to
convict Mr. Meek without Incriminat
ing himself. The Jury must have con
cluded that Harris was guilty of all
that Meek charged him, but disliked to
make him pay for it besides. If the
witnesses who were on band had been
called and testified to what they knew,
the jury would have felt that the whole
gang should be banged .as high as

Brief Comment on Political and Other
Matters of Public Interest.
Ex-Poatninster Hkks, of Philadel
phia, declares that Ashbrldge said to
him at the beginning of his term of
office that ho propoEcd to get all there
was In It for Samuel H. Ashbrldgo.
Ashbrldge denies that he ever said
anything of the kind, and the people
of Philadelphia have been by the ears
for a week or two no to which tel!s
the truth. It doesn't seem to make
very much difference whether Ash
brldge gave notice In advance of his
Intentions. He has made his word
good, whether he ever gave It or not. .
He ought not kick about anybody's
saying that he once told the truth.
The Army and Navy Register hauls
Roosevelt over the coals for his shabby
treatment of General Miles, and de- j
clares that It Is not possible to Justify
It or excuse it even on the ground
that Teddy has fallen Into the habit i
of losing his temper. We predict that '
Roosevelt will go out of office one of
the most unpopular presidents the
country has had. When a man would .
rather be called colonel than vice
president It shows an sJkceedlngly vain !
streak In his make-up. His Intense
egotism and his I-am-the-whole-thlng
style of dealing with men and moas
ures Is not likely to last him throngrt
his term. Of course, there are toad
ies who are willing to applaud any act
of the president, no matter what It
may be, but the sober second thought
of the peoplo will not long tolerate a
man whose conceit Is his strongest
characteristic.
General Wheaton declares that BO,
000 soldiers will be needed in the
Philippines for at least five years yet.
As each soldier costs a thousand dol
lars a year, and the officers who have
charge of the butchering a great deal
more, the cost of the Philippines will
be $330,000,000 In addition to what
they have already coat, and to the pen
sion roll that will, in the light of past
experience, be with us for at least 75
years. There !s no doubt that General
Wheaton is right. The Filipinos are
at home In the tropical sun and are
fighting for liberty and country. Our
soldiers Buffer all sorts of afflictions
from tbe climate; those of them who
have sense enough to go In when It
rains must feel ashamed that they are
conducting a murderous crusade
against a people who are as much en
titled to their freedom as we are. It
Is safe to predict that twice $350,000,
000 will not subdue tbe Filipinos suffi
ciently to 'withdraw our soldiers and
leave them to the tender mercies of
the greedy politicians and capitalists.
General Taft, who enjoys the dis
tinction of trying to be governor of
the Philippines, like all the other
prominent men who have mixed In it,
are having a very hard tlmfl to show
just how he and God are working dili
gently for the interests of the Fili
pinos whom they love so well. He says
that they have no thought of establish
ing reconcentrado camps In the usual
sense of the term. Of course not. The
ordinary sense of the term and the
sense of every man who knows any
thing understands that such a camp Is
a place where the captured women and
children of the enemy are placed to
be Btarved to death in order to force
their fathers, husbands and brothers
to give up their land to the Invader.
This Is what concentration camps
meant in Cuba, this Is what they mean
today in South Africa, and It Is ex
actly what they mean In the Philip
pines, where we are doing missionary
work for the cause of the lowly Naza
rene, who never did the slightest vio
lence to man, woman or child, and
every one of whose precepts declare
against all such treatment of any of
God's creatures. No matter what Taft
may say that he and God propose to
do, the whole business is damnable
from the start and will be to the finish
unless the American people have a
much needed revival of tbe spirit of
freedom.
General Wheaton, an American offi
cer who Is trying to subjugate a people
who ask that we simply attend to our
own business and let them alone, says
that men have been Imprisoned for
such speeches as the one recently de
livered by Professor Schurman in
Boston. The professor In this address
took exception to the rigid military
rule that is prevailing in the" Philip
pines. This serves Schurman about
right, for no Intelligent, high minded
man an he Is popularly supposed to be,
should not be guilty of mixing up In
this Infernal business of trying to fin
ish the dirty Job begun by Spain of
butchering the Filipinos In order to
get their territory. Schurman, llko
any other man possessing the in
stincts of true civilization, was at first
opposed to the whole business and did
not hesitate to say so; but the big
dose of pap In the shape of a good
Job on the Filipino commission was
too great a temptation and he bocame
a mild apologist for our conduct in
trying to crush out a liberty loving
people. His apologies, however, do not
suit General Wheaton and he tells
what has been done with men for say
ing a word in favor of liberty and in
criticism of wholesale murder. It
must be rather humiliating to Schur
man to have a two-for-flve military
satrap Insinuating that he should be
arrested for disloyal utterances. If he
will now rise to the occasion and wash
his stained hands of the whole mur
det'lng business he would sleep more
soundly and earn tbe heartfelt thanks
of every right-minded American as
well as of the Filipinos, who are strug
gling foe freedom as earnestly and de
servedly as did our forefathers In 1776.

SCHLEY VS. LEMLY.
Malice Toward Santiago's Hero Not To Bt
Tolerated. Schloy Won tho Battle and
Destroyed the Spanish Flcei and.,
Lcmly Can Not Chango
That Pad.
(Sprclnl frmn Comvmvlal Aff'ld Yew.)
One of the most outrageous attacks
that has as yet appeared comes now
from Judge-Advocate-Gcneral I,em-
ey. To read the dispatches as thcr
come from Washington, and which
are piven publicity in the daily press,
shows a very deplorable condition 011
the part of cliques, at the head of one
of which Advocate-General Lemlcy
seems to be.
Laying aside all personal animosi
ties and reading Lemiey's attack on
Admiral Schley s appeal, no reason
able mind can overcome the impres-
ion that malice is the gist of the
action.
Speaking ot the Texas, the com
mentators declare: "The question is
not so much one of possible credit
to, but of possible censure of Admiral
Schley in connection with the work of
that vessel in the battle of Santiago.
The plain truth is that Admiral
Schley did not during that battle in
any way direct or control the splendid
performance of the Gloucester and
he three battleships Indiana, Iowa
and Texas. The officers in command
of these ships neither received nor
obeyed a solitary order front him."
Next the commentitors turn their
attention to what they declare were
persistent efforts by Schley's attorneys
to show that in some manner the
Oregon at least was under his orders
during the battle, first by answering
he signal, "Close tip, and afterwatd
by firing its thii teen-inch guns under
signal from the Brooklyn, and they
say:
"But that attempt, as the testimony
to be quoted below shows, was a
failure."
They quote, therefore, passages
from Captain Clark's testimony, in
which he said in regard to the- order,
"Close up," that that was a standing
order in the squadron to attack the
enemy at once if they appeared, and
to keep the heads of the ships always
toward the entrance, and "I remem
ber a leeling of.satisfaction that there
was an order to close in, in case any
accident had happened and collid
ing with other ships."
Mr. V. B. Conkey, the Chicago
publisher of "Schley and Santiago,"
was interviewed, and here is what he
says:
The fact remains that Admiral
Schley was in command at Santiago,
controlled and directed every move of
the squadron, that won the battle and
destroyed the Spanish Fleet.
"It strikes me that no amount ot
quibbling or political wire pulling can
take that glory from Admiral Schley.
At least that seems to be the opinion
of the American public and a great
many of the leading men of that great
public. The Milwaukee Sentinel, one
of the leading papers ol the West, in
reviewing the book, gives it a two
column notice, and in closing says to
this effect:
" No patriotic American citizen
can afford not to read George Gra
ham's great book Schley and Santi
ago. It gives the facts, and proves
that Sampson was at Siboney and
Schley at Santiago, where the battle
was fought and won.1 "
Tbe book contains nearly 500
pages ot authentic facts and fifty
instantaneous photographs taken by
Graham during the battle.
Read this, a quotation from the
book, and then say, if the fleet did
not work with Schley, and appreciate
him as the Commander-in-Chief-After
the Dattle, Schley compliments
the Oregon, Texas, in fact all the
fleet which took part in the battle:
"Somebody raised a broom at our
(the Brooklyn) masthead on one of
the pennant halyards, and the crew of
the Oregon followed suit, and then
gave three cheers for Commodore
Schley. On the Texas the men alt
lined up on the forward deck and at
request from somebody aboard I
presume Captain Philip himself pave
three cheers for Commodore Schley.
The little Vixen circled around us
three or four times, her crew yelling
themselves hoarse for the Brooklyn,
for Schley, and for the victory.
"But from the New York there
came never a sound of joy fulness and
never a cheer?'
The New York was Sampson's flag
ship, and had just returned from
Siboney after the battle, and Advo
cate General Lemley is Sampson's
friend.
After praying for forty years for
a baby, a New Jersey couple put a
small want ad in a newspaper and
that same nigh a bouncing boy was
left on the doorstep. Prayer is all
right if you are not in a hurry, but
for quick results use printer's ink.
