It is evident that public sentiment in
Kngland is gradually grasping tho fact that
the American view of the Venezuela matter
is tho ono that will have to be given the
right of way.
Anotheb fallacy of the present Ad
ministration is that money can bo mado by
skipping gold both ways across the Atlantic.
Jlut it makes Undo Sam grean to think that
ho is raying the fre'ght.
A Chicago man has bcon fined for
hugging girls early in the morning. If he
had waited until night and turned down the
gas tho authorities would not have inter
fered. Innovations are generally unpopular.
Somh of our Democratic friends have a
manseating dose to swallow in the Itcilly
pill, but under the circumstances they are
doing as well as can ho expected. A relapso
is expected, however, about November 3rd.
Wj: are responsible for all that appears in
the editorial columns of this paper. Our
advertisers are accountable for their own ex
pressions ; hut tho insertion of an advertise
icnt doesn't carry with it tho control of tho
policy of tho paper, and the sooner some
people learn this the better for all concerned.
Mr. Ititll.LY James R is again yearning
after tho flesh pots of Egypt and i-s laying his
lines, in conjunction with that illustrious
Ashland statesman, W. A. Marr, to be nom
inated for Congress. Marr yearns for a seat
on the bench. These two Democratic states
menwhose names aro laminar to every
voter of that party in tho county ha vo np.
parcntly formed a combination which has
captured the party, and their nomination is
now conceded 'by their opponents. This is
another Iiepublicau.y.car, however, and that
party will present the. name f a young l!o-
publican, who is not a political hack hut will
have a united party behind him, who will
relegate Mr. Iteilly to tho quietude of private
lifo. And they will havo the valuable as
sistance of thoc Democrats who arc dissatls-
Had with having too much Iteilly mixed with
their Democracy.
The Hon. John II. Robinson has addrohbed
an open lotter to Chairman Quay, suggesting
the proposition of voting for candidates for
United States Senator at the Itepiiblican
primaries. The proposition is not an original
one with "Fighting Jack," neither is it
new ono, Tho plan was adopted by the Re
publicans of Ohio, and with them it proved
a very acceptable ono, resulting in the selec
tion of Forarkcr as United States Senator,
Tho Hehai.i sometime ago, in commenting
on tho probable successor to J. Donald
Cameron, suggested the adoption of the Ohio
J'lan, which Congressman Robinson who,
by tho way, is a candidate for United States
Senator is now urging upon tho Stato Com
mittce. His proposition is for the state chair
man to suggest to tho various chairmen of tho
Republican county committees in tho state
thoadvleabillty of printing the names of all
the candidates for the Un ted States Senate,
m far as known, upon a t- -porate part of tho
ticket to be voted for a tho coming pri
maries, so that there may b somo indication
us to the views of tho elector regarding their
choice for this important positNjn. Wo have
had no occasion to change our viaws upon tlio
hiibject, and still bcllovo ChairniSn Quay's
actions in adopting tlio suggestion would
meet with the approval of the party vVlcrs.
THE PRIMARIES.
The Citizens primaries will lie held"' t
Friday, between tlio hours of (1:00 and 8po
o'clock. In only two wards will there be il
contest tho Socond .aud Third. This is
something unusual for tho Citizens party, and
is looked upon as a precursor of success at
the polls.
Every voter of tlio party should attend
tlio primaries ; it is a duty always as import
ant as attendance at tlio iciural election.
Undesirable candidates aro tho result of the
Inactivity of tho voters themselves and
unwise selections ' atthe .prlinnrlci. Each
voter.shoud roako up his nlmi.as to ijls,
duty in tlio selection of candidates'. Scan
their records and qualifications ; consult with
your neighbors, and then vote according to
your honest convictions as to tlio best practi-1
cal means at hand for producing results. If
such a courso is pursued in wards wlioro there
aro contests, tho results will not only bring
forth stronger candidates hut mako success nt
tho polls doubly sure.
The essential nud paramount issue is tho
selection of candidates who will mcasuro up
to a high standard. When there is n randi
dato who is worthy of confidence, or who is
moro worthy of it than his opponent, that is
the man you want to nominate. Of course,
this is a matter every voter must decide for
Himself, impartially and without regard to
factions, hut solely with a view of gcttlug
nominations that cau demand support with
self-respect.
It's Astonishing
how Dr. Pierco's Kavprlto Prescription nets
upon nervous women. It's a marvelous rem
edy for nervous and general debility. Chorea,
or St. Yitus's Dance, Insomnia, or Inability
to sleep, spasms, convulsions, or "fits," and
every liko disorder.
Even in cases of insanity resulting from
functional deraiigenionts.nlie persistent uso
of tho "Prescription" will, by restoring tlio
natural functions, generally ell'cct a cure.
For women suffering from any chronic
'female complaint" or weakness i for women
who aro run-down or overworked ; at tho
change from girlhood to womanhood ; and,
later, at tho critical "change of lifo" it is a
medlolno that safely and certainly builds up,
strengthens, regulates, and cures.

sive nights beginning tonight. Tho con-
tost is uetweon Dr. Covert, who has re
cently sued and been sued by tho Indiana
Spiritualists, and Dr, Harry Adams, of
Crawfordsvllle, Ind, who claims to repre
sent tho Spiritualists, but many dlsolalm
him. Dr. Adams claims thero havo been
repoated efforts to defraud the Spirituu
lists In Indiana and he has published sev
eral alloged exposures. For bIx1 nights Dr.
Adams la to appear horo, and Dr. Covert
has wagered that ho will do evorythlng
that Dr. Adams performs, Covert not
claiming any niodlum assistance. The
men have each nut ut $500 with tno
Judges,
Spiritualists' stntement as to tho origin
of tho contest is as follows: Several weeks
ngo Rev. W. H. Covert posted $-500 forfeit
that he could explain tho tricks of any
spirituoiistiq incuium. j lew uays latoruu
uUnounced that Dr. Henry Milton, of
Philadelphia, had covered, the fbrfolt and
would lecture nt Andorson.' "This $500put
up by Ilov. Mr. Covert was to havo bcon
guaranteed by clttzons of Andorson.
Subsequent events havo demonstrated
that Dr. Henry M. Adams, of Crawfords-
vlllo, a spiritualistic inodium known all
over tho United Slates, was tho Dr. Henry
Milton, of Philadelphia. Dr. Adams says
he has abundant correspondence with Co-
vort to provo that tho'rovorend gentleman
proposed to havo Adams explain to him
tho tricks so as to mako tho oxoosure cer
tain and complete, and then thoy were to
dlvido the J300 forfolt. Ho says ho drew
Covert out by decoy letters, signed a do-
coy contract with him, und then udvisert
Covert that ho would bo exposed through
the pross. Ho says a part of Covert's plan
was to provoke tho Spiritualists to llbol
him, then recover damngos from them in
a libel suit.

present liappy condition when they realize
what sho has gono through. Blio says:
" About flvo months ago I had nn attack
of sickness which lasted for a week aDd
since that tlmo I havo been subject at in
tervals td similar attacks, sOino xi which
'wcrcs longer in duration. It ii linrd for
mo to describe, how I; suffered. Tho pain
would commence in my head, after which
it would seem to pass down my body and
settlo in my back,' my sides ached, my
back ached, anU 1' hid a feeling of great
distress in tho" bowels. Tlio increased
pain which seemed to como frOrti lvinrr
down, would bo almost unbearable, my
face and stomach wtiUld bloat up and I
could hardly stand on my feet, dizziness
muue it almost impossible j this feeling was
always with mo OVen after tlio violence of
the nttaclt passed over. Tho last'attack I
had was the worst, and was so bad I would
not havo been able to tell this story but
for Doan's Kidney Pills. As soon as I
commenced their uso I found immediate
relief. The pain in my back nnd sides left
me and the dizziness went with it; tho
bloating in my face and body disappeared
and all distress in my bowels wns gone.
I havo great faitli in Uoan's Kidney Pills;
in a short time they did a great deal more
forme than all the plasters and medicines
which I had resorted to in seekintr relief
and cure. I hope always to bo able to pro
cure them."
