"With Croker Ht New York hikI Qor nauiit Washington working to defeat Bryan, the free pilverite line troubles of own. An exchange demands that Oobln be CHlled to Hooonnt. Senator FHnn and his col laities have already iwr formed that duty. It is costing the dozen or 4 ''favor ite sous" at Harrisbtirg a snug miui of money for the pleasure of lieing voted for in the Senatorial contest. Ocn German friends in the Demo cratic party were again given the marble heart on Saturday. Well, what do they purpose to do about it T The Third ward, whioh' gives the sinuilest' Democratic vote in the bor ough, captured the two borough ofllees at the Democratic conferee con vention. This is pleasing to the op position. TlIK State Board of Gliarties has recommended the erection of the two new hospitals for the insane, one to be located 111 the eastern, and the other in the western part of the state. The bill appropriating the necessary money has been introduced in the House but as yet no bid has been made for the location of the proposed new institution in the eastern section of the commonwealth. The people of this section should put forth an effort to secure the locution of the hospital. The decision of Judge Bechtel against the plot machines und other gambling devices is being favorably commented upon by the press of the state. Upon this subject the Phila delphia Inquirer says: "In deciding that he will grant no Ihjuor licences to applicants who will not ugree to do away with all gambling devices Judge Bechtel, of Schuylkill county, haseetan admirable example to all the license courts of the state. These devices are of varied character, but they all operate toward the same end. Briefly, they tend to dewlop the gambling mania, und for that reason ought not to be allowed. Their in fluence upon the young is especially pernicious. It leads to the squander ing of money which ought to.be ex pended upon education, the family or put in the sayings banks. There is not a town" in the state in whieh that influence does not make itself felt for the worse." Ballot Reform. Senator David Martin has intro duced his promised ballot reform, bill in the Senate, and as a nuoleus for a comprehensive act meeting all the demands on this point it will serve a very good end. The bill abolishes the party column and the circle, and provides for group ing the candidates under the designa tion of the ofllce, the voter being re quired to mark a cross opposite the names of the candidates of his choice. The names of the candidates will be listed according to the vote of the parties or bodies nominating, begin ning with the party polling th largest vote ut the last preceding state election. The ballot so nr ranged will not be more than one tenth the size of the blanket ballot now in use. Another feature of the bill is that which requires bodies of eithens naming state candidates by Botiiiiia tion papers to have such papers gigHMl by voters from every county in the Commonwealth. It is aino provided that nomination papers shall be filed one week earlier than is now th rule, and the written acceptance to run of each candidate named by 110111 inatfon papers must be flb'd with the papers nominating him. Persons signing nomination papers must do so in their own handwriting, giving game and address ; and In addition to these, all the good points of the present law are retained. This gives the Legislature some thing to work on, and out of the material here proyided there Is hope that a comprehensive ballot law will Arm r:imiitp favor fauitJiV Pills IfuMur-js men and trav J er$ carry them Hi v. st 1 pvre, bouiekeepcri keep them n tnclii m Hood s "lllH,'iiOT.imijl NJ2HV0US DEPRESSION. fA TALK WITH MM PtlfKMAM 1 A womnii with Die blitps isii very nn umfortiilile per on.

The kidney are responsible for more sick ness, suffering, and deaths than aiy other Organs of the body. A majority of the ills afflicting people to day is traceable to kidney trouble. Itprevades all classes of society, in all climates, regard less of age, sex or Condition. The symptoms of kidney trouble are unmis takable, snch as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep lessness, pain or dull ache in the back, a desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or canty supply. " Uri- acid, or brick dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result in Bright's Disease, tile most dangerous form of kidney trouble. All these symptoms and conditions are promptly removed under the influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. It has a world wide reputation for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.

Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs. If the liver be inactive, you have a bilious look j if your stomach be disordered, you have a dyspeptia look ; if your kidneys be affected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health, and you will surely have good looks. "Electric Bitters" is a good Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys.
