On the second of May next all the

niles' Presidential Bee.
It is reported at Washington that
General Miles is itching with ambi
tion to become President of the
"United States. It goes without say-
Trig that neither he nor his admirers
have the slightest idea that ho can
be nominated next year by tho Re
publicans, as it is practically a fore
gone conclusion that nothing but
death can take McKinley out of the
race, and he is quite likely to once
more be the standard-bearer of his
party.
There is considerable talk in the
newspapers of the country about
starting a new party, and undoubt-
dly something is going to te done
along those lines, but just what
no one worth quoting seems to know
at present. The chances are the so
called new party will be largely made
up of tho former gold-bug Demoorats
who refused to support Bryan in 1800.
and who are- not satisfied with the
administration of McKinley on ac
count of the President's expansion
policy, and because these people
never did and probably never can en
dorse the tariff views held by the
average Republican of prominence.
The leaders of the gold element of
the Democratic party naturally turn
to Miles as their candidate. They
realize that they will cut very little
figure in the next national contest
farther than to draw votes from the
Democratic and Republican parties.
They the Cleveland-OIney wing of
the Democratio party seem to be
bent on stirring up trouble for the
other fellows, and their cry is any
thing to beat Bryan. For this rea
son they are encouraging Miles in his
warfare, and care nothing about his
Republicanism.
General Miles has been in a stew
aver since preparations were made
for the war with Spain. The ranking
General of the army does not have
much power at best, and what little
there was has been curtailed by
Secretary Alger, so that the dashing
Mii hnB bd nmr Rwim. Tn 1m
eurbed by the Seoretary of War was
bad enough, but when a oivlllan like
th Assistant Seoretary got to jump
ing on him too, the milk of human
kindness in the breast of Miles has
almost turned to clabber.
Miles' presidential ambition is
pretty well known, but recent events
have taken both the ranking General
and the gentleman who presides over
the War department out of the race
as presidential possibilities. And all
on account of the beef packers.

the real cause of tho trouble, is in the
through the skin ; the only way to
tne uioou.
Mr. Phil T, Jones, of Mixersvllle, Ind., writes:
"I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal
of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave mo
constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and
began to spread and grow worse. For tho past flvo or
six years I have suffored untold agony and had given up
all hope of ever being free from tne disease, as I have
been treated by some of the best physicians and have
taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little
faith loft I began to take 8. B, 8., and it apparently
made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the
way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing
8. H. 8., the sore healed up entirely, the skin beoame
elear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly."
Eczema is an obstinate dlsaase and

the only blood remedy guaranteed to bs free from potash, mercury or any
other minerul, nnd never falls to eure Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood

upon 8. S. B. ; nothing can take its place.
