Three bottles of Electric , Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, HI., had a running sore on his leg of , eight years1 standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, Catawba, O., had five large Fever sores on his leg, doctors said he was incurable. One bottle Electric Bitters and one box Bucklens Arnica Salve cured him entirely. Sold at the Bazaar. ' Don't Snow a Good Thing. To the Editor of the Dispatch: In reply to your question "How is this? permit us to say that those Xewberry boys certainly do not know a good thing when they see it, they rortftinlv have been verv uniust to Leesville College, whether with evil intent or not we do not undertake to say. Let us hope that it was an error of the head, a sort of fatal delusion under which they made their declarations to the St. Luke correspondent. Truth to tell, the commencement was a success, a grand triumph for Prof. Haynes and the whole faculty and for all concerned. , The crowd was great, and so gratify- < ing to all was everything that there ( was no decrease in the attendance, in fact the crowd was greater on the 3? :.n_ ? t i&si uay, auu especmuy uu iuc iaai < night than ever before. 1 Our College is not losing ground, ' but on the other hand it is going , forward, onward and upward at a 1 rate aimost unparalled.

Intelligent people, wno realize tne v important part the blood holds in keeping the body in a normal condi- ? tion, find nothing strange in the number of diseases that Hood's Sar- c Baparilla is able to cure. So many n troubles result from impure blood that the best way to treat them is s through the blood, and it is far bet- b ter to use only harmless vegetable t] compounds than to dose to excess with quinine, calomel and other jj drugs. By treating the blood, with Hood's Sarsapariila, scrofula, salt rheum and what are commonly called jJ "humors;" dyspepsia, catarrh, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption and e other troubles that originate in im- u purities of the blood or impaired cir- 11 culfttioii, can all be cured, 37. p People's Party Platform. Preamble ami Platform Adopted by the People's Party Convention at Omaha on July 4th. PREAMBLE. Assembled upon the llGth anniversary f the declaration of independence, the People's party of America, in their first lational convention, invoking upon their iction the blessing of Almighty God, puts orth in the name and on behalf of the teople of this country the following preaiible and declaration of principles: The conditions which surround us best ustify us our co-operation; we meet in the nidst of a nation brought to the verge of noral, political, aud material ruin. Coruptiou dominates the ballot box. the legslatares, the congress, and touches even he ermine of the bench. The people are lemorilized; most of the States have been i ompelled to isolate the voters at the pol- | ing places to prevent universal iutimidaion and bribery. The newspapers are argely subsidized or muzzled; public opinon silenced; busiuess prostrated; our tomes covered with mortgages: labor irntoverished aud the lands concentrating in he hands of the capitalists. The urban rorkmen are denied the right of organizaion for self protection; imported pauperzed labor beats down tueir wages; a hirlag standing army, recognized by our laws, 3 established to shoot them down; aud hey are rapidly degenerating into Euroieau conditions. The fruits of the toil f millions are boldly stolen to build up olossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented a the history of mankind;and the possesors of these, in turn, despise the republic nd endanger libei ty. From the same pro;fic womb of governmental injustice we reed the two great classes?tramps and lillionaires. The national power to Crete money is appropriated to enrich boudolders. A vast public debt, payable in igal tender currency, has been funded ito gold bearing bonds, thereby adding liilions to the burdens of the people. Silver, which has been accepted as coin ince the dawn of history, has been delonetized to add to the purchasing power f gold by decreasing the value of all forms f property as well as human labor, and ae supply of currency is purposely bridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt enterrises and enslave industry. A vast conpiracy against mankind has been orgnnzed on two continents, and it is rapidly iking possession of the world. If not let and overthrown at once it forbodes terible convulsions, the destruction of civihation, or the establishment of absolute A?V?ntiRm. '?I > We have witnessed for more than a qoarer of a century the struggles ot the two reat political parties for power and plunler, while grievous wrongs have been iuLicte d upon a suffering people. We charge hat the controlling influences dominating >o:h these parties have permitted the existng dreadful conditions to develop withouterious efforts to prevent or restraiu them. Neither do they now promise us any su'otamial reform. They have agreed toother to ignore, in the coming issue but me. Tbey piopose to drown the outcries >f a plundered people with the uproar of a iham battie over the tariff, so that the captahsts, corporations, national banks, ings, trusts, watered stocks, the demoneti:ation of Silver and the oppressions of the lsurers may all be lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice our homes, lives and ehiiIren on the altar of mammon; to destroy ;he multitude in order to secure corrtip;ion funds from the millionaires. Assembled on the anniversary of the oirthday of the nation and filled with the spirit of the grand generation who established our independence, we seek our independence, we seek t > restore the government of the republic to the hands of "the plain people." with whose class it originated. We asseri our purposes to be identical with the purposes ol the national constitution, "To form a more perfect uuiou, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity." We declare that this republic can only endure as a free government while built upon the love of the whole people for each other and for the nation; that it cannot be pinned together by bayouets; that the civil war is over, and that every passion and resentment which grew out ol it must die with it, and that we must be in fact, as we are in name, one united brotherhood ol free men. Our couutry finds itself confronted by conditions for which there is no precedent in the historv of the world: our anuual agricultural productions amount to billions of dollars in value, which must within a tew weeks or months be exchanged lor billions of dollars ot commodities consumed in their production; the existing currency supply is wholly inadequate to make this exchange: the results are falling prices, the formation of combines and rings and the impoverishment of the producing class. We pledge ourselves that, if giveu power, w-ft will labor to correct these evils bv wise and reasonable legislation in accordance with the terms of our platform. We believe that the powers of government?in other words, of the people-should be expanded (as in the case ot the postal service) as rapidly and as tar as the good sense of iq intelligent people and the the teachings of experience shall justify to the end that oppression, injustice and povtrty shall eventually cease in the laud While our sympathies as a party of reform are naturally upon the side of every proposition that will tend to make men intelligent, virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless regard these questions important is they are as s condary to the great issues aow pressing for solution, and upon which aot only our individual prosperity, but the rery existence of free institution depend; md we all ask men to first help us to de:ermine whether we are to have a republic, ;o administer, before we differ as to the conditions upon which it is to be adminis:ered; believiug that the forces of reform :his day organized will never cease to move orward until every wrong is remedied, equal privileges securely established for all nen and women of the county, We declare, therefore, First?That the union of the labor orces ot the United States this day consummated shall be permanent and perpetlal may its spirit enter into all hearts for he salvation of the republic and the npifiing of mankind. Second?Wealth belongs to him who ere ites it and every d? liar taken from indusry without an equivalent is robberj*. 'It my rnau will not work, neither shall he ?t." The interests of rural aud civic labor ire the same; their enemies are identical. Third?We believe that the time has ome when the railroad corporations will iither own the people or the people must )wn the railroads, and should the govern nent enter upon the work ol owning and nanaging any or ali railroads, we should avor an amendment to the constitution by *hich all persons engaged in the governnent service shall be placed under a civil iervice regulation of the most rigid characer. so as to prevent the increase of the mwerof the national administration by be use of such additional government emiloyees. We demand that national currency, safe, | ouud and tiexible. issued by the general :overnment only, a lull legal tender for all j lebts, public and privates, and that with- j ?ut the use of banking corpor tions, a just, qnitable and efficieut means of distribuion direct to the people, at a tax not to xceed two per cer.t. per annum, be prodded, as set forth in the sub treasury plan 1 the Farmers' Alliance or some better ystem: also by payments in discharge ol ts obligations tor public improvements. We demand the tree and unlimited coinge of silver and gold at the present legal atio of 16 to 1. We deuiana mat rue auicuui ui ?.uulating medium be speedily increased to :ot less than $50 per capita. We demand a graduated income tax. We believe that the money ot the country hould be kept as much as possible in the ands ol the people aud hence we demand hat all State and national revenues sh;.ll e limited to the necessary expenses of the ovcrnirent economically and honestly adlinistered. We demand that postal savings banks be stablisked by the government tor the sate eposits of the earnings of the people and militate exchange. Transportation being a means of exbange and a public necessity the govern lent should own and operate the railroads i the interest of the people. The telegraph and the telephone, like the ost office system, feeing a necessity for the transmission of news, should be owntd and operated by the government in the iti- j terest of the people. The land, including all the i atnral re- i surces ol wealth, is the heritage of all the t people and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alieu ownership of land should be prohibited. All la id _ i _ i 11 1 .. _ . 1 V. 1 ^* K ^ , .? now oeiug neui uy ruiiroaus ttuu uiuei porations in excess of the actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. After submitting the foregoing <o the committee on resolutions held another meeting and unanimously agreed to report the lollowing to the convention at the ! uight session and it was adopted: | Whereas, other questions have been pre sented for our consideration, we hereby submit the following, not as a part of the platform of the Peoples' Party, but as resolutions expressive of the sentimeut of | this convention: Pilot -Resolved, That we demand a free ballot and a fair count in all elections, and pledge ourselves to secure it to all legal voters without Federal intervention through the adoption by the States of the unpervtrtod Australian or secret ballot system. Second? Resolved, That the revenue derived from a graduated income tux should be applied to the reduction of the burdeu of taxation now resting upou the domestic industries of this country. 1 bird-Resolved, That we pledge our support to fair and liberal pensions to exunion soldiers and sailors. Fourth?Resolved, That we condemn the fallacy of protecting Americau labor under the present system, which opens our ports to the pauper and criminal classes of the world, aud crowds out our wage earners: and we denounce the present ineffective laws acainst contract labor, and demand the further restriction of .undesirable emigration. Fifth - Resolved. That we cordially sympathize with the efforts of organized workingmen to shorten the hours of labor, and demand a rigid enforcement of the existing eight hour law on government work, and ask that a penalty clause be added to the said law. Sixth ? Resolved, That we regard the maintenance of a large standing army ol mercenaries, known as the Pinkertou system, as a menace to our liberties, and we demand its abolition ; and we condemn the recent invasion of the territory of Wyoming by the hired assassins of plutocracy, assisted by Federal officials. Resolved, That we commend to the favorable considePdtiou of the people, and the Reform press the legislative s\stem known as the initiative and referendum. Resolved, That we favor a constitutional provision limiting the office of President and Vice President to one term, and providing for the election of Senators of the United States hy a direct vote of the people. Resolved, That we oppose any subsidy I or uational aid to any private corporation I for any purpose. ' The Peoples' party at the outset to secure permanent control of party organization of the people unaffected by the intereests of those in public service does hereby in national convention assemhled at Omaha on this 4ib day of July, 1892 establish this ordinance as fundamental law of our part organization, viz: No person holding any office or position of profit, trust or emolument under the Federal or any State or municipal government,including Senators, Congressmen and members of the Legislature. State and local, shall be eligible to sit or vote in any convention of this party, and a copy of this ordinance shall bs annexed to every call for any future convention of the party. A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. V., says that he always keeps Dr. King's New Discovery in the house and his family has always found the very best results follow its use; that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman Druggist, Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr. King's New Discovery is undoubtedly the best Cough remedy: that he has used it in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it. Why not try a remedy so long tried and tested. Trial bottles free at the Bazaar. Lexinertnn's Candidates. ? a - To the Editor of the Di?.patch: Oar candidates are slow iu eorain.' to the trout. Every week I scan the columns of your paper, but as yet the crop is short Money is so scarce until in many instances candidates are not able to enter the canvass. The County Executive Committee will have to forbear collecting a tax from candidates until alter the election, then let an equitable pro ration be m ide aud collected from those who are elected, just enough to cover the actua! expenses ol the Executive Committee In these hard times it is more than enough for defeated candidates to pay the Dispatch for annoucemeni and expenses incident to electioneering, to say nothing of the mortification caused by defeat. It is wrong to make defeated candidates pay when the successful ones ought to, and will be willing to pay. Mr. Editor, gentlemen of the Committee and candidates, what say yon? Don't you think this is on the line of equity? Then let it be agreed that those elected will pay the committee's expense. Kaysville, July 1G. Justice. Call for School Meeting.

Jamestown, Tenx., Oct. 15, 1891 My daughter tried physicians and nearly all remedies for Female irregularities, but received no relief or benefit whatever. We had nearly despaired of her recovery when we were induced by our postmaster, Mr. A. A. Gooding, to try Gerstle's Female Panacea, and after using four bottles she was entirely cured, for which I feel it my duty to let it be known to the world and suffering humanity, for 1 believe she owes her life to the Panacea.
