provided by existing laws, m either

government, and not at the option of
the ci-.-l tur.
')n this issue we appeal from the
dictation of the money power to the
intelligence and patriotism of the Amer
lean peopie.
The address makes a loiiff argument
on the above basis and says that silver
Democrats or silver Republicans can
expect nothing from their party; neither
vi!l silver Democrats join the silver
w;nrof the Kepublicau party, nor sil
ver Republicans join the silver wmi of
the Demin-ratie party; neither will
t itlu-r join the Populists on account of
objectionable features in their platform
Tin only hope fur silver is fur the silver
lie n in all parties to organize a new
party. The address further says:
"It" tin- conference had authority
from the people to name a candidate
for president, if would name Joseph
Sibl.-y of Pennsylvania, but not having
such authority, it can only suggest the
name, and invite expres-ions from tht-p.Mpl.-

Constipation
Demands prompt treatment. The r
Bults of neglect may be serious. Avoid
all harsh and drastic purgatives, the
tendency of which is to weaken the
bowels. The best remedy is Ayer'9
Pills. Ueing purely vegetable, their
action is prompt and their effect always
beneficial. They are an admirable
Liver and After-dinner pill, and every
where endorsed by the profession.

practice." Dr. 1. K. i'owlcr, IJridge

WITHOUT THE
BOW (RING)
it is rasy to steal or ring watches from the
pocket The thief gets the watch in one
hand, the chain in the other and pives a
short, quick jerk the ring slips otf the
watch stem, ami away goes the watch, leav
ing the victim only the chain.
This idea stopped
tiiat little game:
The bow ha a groove
on each end A collar
runs down inside the
pendant istemi and
fits into the grooves,
firmly locking the
bow to the pendant,
so that it cannot be
pulled or twisted on".
