A Woman
Only Knows
what suffering from falling of the
womb, whites, painful or irregular
menses, or any disease of the distinctly
feminine organs is. A man may sympathize
or pity but he can not kno'w the
agonies she goes through?the terrible
suffering, so patiently borne, which
robs her of beauty, hope and happiness.
Yet this suffering really is
' seedless.

Imperialism in America Severely
Denounced.
The following is an abstract of the
platform adopted by the Ohio Democrats
in convention assembled:
We heartily re affirm the entire
- Chicago platform of 1896; and we
especially emphasize the financial
* plank therein, and we continue to (
demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold as equal in 1
primary money, at the rate of 16 to (
_ 1, independent of all the other na- 1
tions of the world.
The Hod. Wm. J. Bryan still re- i
tains our entire confidence and we
demand his renomination in 1900.
We recognize the solemn fact that
our government cannot De Dotn Jtte- 1
k public and imperial.
We stand in line with Washington, i
Jtfferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant
and all the other American patriots,
living and dead, in desiring the perpetuity
of our Republic.
We are radically and unalterably
opposed to imperialism in the United
States of America. When we have
solved some of the race problems
that confront us at home, then by
example, we can proclaim the blessings
that flow from free institutions
and thus procure "benevolent assimilation
without criminal aggression.''
We are opposed to entangling allil
ances with foreign kingdoms and em'
pires.
We com mend the action of Congress
in declaring that our war with
Spain was for humanity, not for conquest.
We proudly recognize the valor (
and glorious achievements of our
^ gallant soldiers and sailors from
l Bunker Hill to this very hour, as be
I ing among the most thrilling and
K glorious in the history of the world,
but we profouldly regret that Amer-?
Iican soldiers are being unlawfully
used in the name of liberty, to crush
and destroy dawning republicanism

I this nation may become involved in
I war with foreign nations,
i We demand that the Cubans and
I Filipinos not only be permitted but
P encouraged to establish independent
* republics, deriving ali their governmental
powers from the consent of
the governed.
We denounce the Republican party
for its thirty-eight years of abject
subservience to the shipping interest
of Great Britian and we denounce
k the Hanna-Payne shipping bill, which
ft if enacted into law, would further
( shackle our interests.
I We are in favor of maintaining
our splendid and efficient navy.
A large standing army is a menace
to our liberty.
We favor the initiative and referendum,
the passage of the eight hour
labor law, the more rigid inspection
of mines and workshops, the prohibition
of sweat shops, and the abolition
of the contract system of prison labor.
We declare that all unlawful combinations
of capital are the legitimate
fruits of a gold standard and
other corrupt Republican legislation
on the questions of the tariff, and
^ we demand that all articles the prices
? fif which are controlled by the trusts
I be placed on the free list.
' We denounce the Attorney Gene i
ral cf the United States, appointed
from the State of New Jersey, the hot
bed of trusts, for his refusal to enforce
the statutes of the United
States against them, and for his earnest
efforts to enforce the etitutes of
Ohio against such illegal combinations,
and pledge the nominee of this
convention for Attorney General to
the enforcement of the statutes of
the State arrainftt. them.
Political bosses are to be detested j
and are inimical to our form of govI
ernmenfc. Bosses represent simply
a concentration of political power,
or ariDg. They live and exist through
jobs and schems loaded upon the tax
payers. They substitute their rule
of its voters. They select the nominees,
who if elec'ed, remain their !
tool and administer their official pow- |
ers in the interest of their boss and
not for the people. The Republican
party in Ohio now is in such control. |
We commend a constitutional a- j
mandment providing for the election j
of President, Vice President, and j
United States Senators by a direct j
vote of the people.
We favor such appropriations by
the Legislature as may be necessary
to insure the success of the centennial
to be held at Toledo.
Believed Xn Macadam.
An official who quite generally
knows what he is talking about was
dilating the other afternoon upon
the funny hopelessness for all reasonable
purposes of many of the little
creeks and rivers for the ''improvement"
of whioh congress was asked
to appropriate money under the river
and harbor bill.
"When Grant was president," said the
official, ''he used to alternately
chuckle and fulminate against the
expediture of good government coin
for the 'improvement' of measly little
streams that he himself knew could
never be made fit for any human
purpose. There was a Virginian
who, failing to get congress to stick
id an appropriation for the dredging
of a little stream down in his section
finally importuned Grant in the matter.
" 'Let's see,' said Grant, musingly,
'I believe I crossed that stream in
1864, wasn't it?'
"'The VirginiaD, who remembered
Grant's crossing of the stream pretty
well, replied affirmatively.
" 'Look here,* said Grant, after a
pause, his face lighting up suddenly,
'why don't you macadamize it?"

Now, dip the coat in boiled

Doctors Can't
Cure It!
Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.
I was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the
best doctors did me no good, though I took
a their treatment faithfully.
In fact. 1 seemed
to get worse all the
while. 1 took almost
every so-called blood
ease, and had 110 effect
^ heartened, for it seemed
^ that I would never be
x cured. At the advice of
a friend I then took
S. S. S., and began toim>
/ prove. I continued the
medicine, and it cured me completely, building
up my health and increasing my appetite.
Although this was ten years ago. I have never
yet had a sign of the dfse&sc to return.

It is like self-destruction to continue
to take potash and mercury; besides
totally destroying the digestion, they
dry up the marrow in the bones, producing
a stiffness and swelling of the
joints, causing the hair to fall out, and
completely wrecking the system.

Tillman on the Negro.
Says the Problem Bufflss Him, but
Ofters Sensible Suggestions.
Some days ago, when Senator B.
R. Tillman stroDgly denounced the
whitecapping of negroes in Greenwood,
the Rev. J L. Dart, of Charleston,
wrote him a letter of thanks on
/xf l.imcnlP or?/^ Kic for I
UCliail U1 lilUIQC/ll UUU ii?w 4 uvv V%
his strong words of condemnation
and denunciation of outrsges and
lawlessness. Besides thanking Senator
Tillman the writer took occasion
in his letter to touch upon several
topics of public interest, among them
being the relations of the races in
the South and the future of the negro
in this country. On this subject
the Rev. J. L Dart said:
"Whether we be Democrats or Republicans,
Southerners or Northerners,
white or black men, there is a
common ground upon which we all can
stand, and that is our united and
firm determination that all forms of
lawlessness in our midst, whether
carried on by whites or blacks, shall
be put down and completely banished
from our borders; that the law
shall have its course in every case
and instance, and every citizen shall
have the guaranteed protection of
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
"But for myself I have come to
believe in the ultimate separation of
the races in the South?the emigration
of the race, not so much to
Africa as the colonization of our people
in the newly acquired possessions
of Cuba aud Porto Rico and throughout
the Noith and West. This, of
course, cannot be done for several
years to come, but while the negro
race is gaining in education, wealth
and experience, preparatory for their
departure, they should have the protection
of the law and the generous
aid and sympathy of their white
neighbors.''
To this letter Senator Tillman replied
as follows:
The Rev. J. L. Dart, Charleston, S. C.
Dear Sii: Your letter cf August
19th has been received. I confess I
am both surprised and gratified at
receiving it. I am only sorry that a
badly garbled and in some respects a
distorted report of my speech was
published in our State papers and
sent abroad. I used much stronger
language and my appeal for justice
was much broader than what you
saw. The correspondent of the News
and Courier, Mr. Kohn, wrote me
that his report by mail did not reach
the office in time for publication.
I am considered as the arch enemy
of the negroes, or colored people, because
while Governor, and before, I
exerted all the influence I possessed
for the purpose of disfranchising
them. If you will contrast the condition
of the negroes in South Carolina
with that in North Carolina and
Georgia you will see that there is
much more good feeling and less
friction here than where political activity
and the franchise exist on the
basis of manhood suffrage. The !
Phoenix riot is directly attributable
to the political virus injected into
the negroes of that neighborhood by
designing white men?the Tolberts?
and the recent outrages are the aftermath.
What the ultimate solution of the
race problem will be I do not know,
but I do know that race and caste
feeling are insuperable barriers to
social and political equality in the
South, and that the negro, as the
weaker and inferior race, will always
be the victim of every conflict by
which he seeks, either of his own accord
or when led by designing white
men, to break down those barriers.
There is no room in the Northwest, i
or opening, for any negro ccmmuni- j
ties, as you will fiud if you go there j
to investigate. The Northern whites j
no longer sympathise with the ideas j
which brought on the civil war, as is |
j proven by Governor Tanner's attitude j
| and official action. There may be an j
I opening for a limited number of ne- i
i groes in Cuba and Porto llico, but I j
j think the Philippines is already occu!
pied by a race that would be more |
! intolerant and cruel than the whites, j
| What the end will be I cannot say,
! but this I do know, the negro must
rem?in subordinate or be txterminated:
and I, for one, will always set my
face like Hint sgainst any injustice or
unfairness toward him as long as he
remains in his proper sphere and
leaves politics alone.
The whites are in the ascendency
and will remain so whatever comes.
And as the supeiior and more civil
ized race they owe it to themselves !
to protect the negro in his light to
"life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,"
even though that declara'ion
was written by a slave holder who did
not take the negro into consideration i
when he wrote it. Yours truly,
B R. Tillman. j

Mark Twain on the Jews, j]
i I
The Jew is not a disturber of the (
neace of any country. Even his ene- ! <
mies will concede that. He is not a
loafer, he is not a sot, he isn't noisy, .
a brawler nor a rioter, he is not quar- j (
relsome. In the statistics of crime j ,
bis presence is conspiciously rare? | j
in all countries. With murder and (
other crimes of violence Tie ha3 but ;
little to do; he is a stranger to the j
hangman. In the police court's daily j
long rail of "assaults" and "drunk i .
and disorderlies" his name seldom j ,
appears. That the Jewish heme is a j
home in the truest sense is a fact I
which no one will dispute. The ; .
family is knitted together by the j
strongest affections; its members i:
show each other every due respect,
and reverence for the elders is an in- j
violate law of the house. The Jew
| I
is not a burden on the charaties of j
the State nor of the cities; these !
j I
could cease their functions without ;
affecting him. ' When he is well ! '
enough, he works, when he is incapa- i
citated his own people take care of j
him. Hie race is entitled to be called j
the most benevolent of all the races j
of men. A Jewish beggar is not im- j
possible, perhaps; such a tbiDg may \
exist, but there are few men that can
say that they have seen that spectacle, j ,
The Jew has been staged in many
uncomplimentary forme, but, so far as !
I know, no dramatist has done him !
i
the injustice to stage him as beggar, j
Whenever a Jew has real need to beg,
his people save him from the neces- j
sity of doing it. The charitable in- j
stitutions of the Jew are supported j
by Jewish money, and amply. The |
Jews make no noise about it; it is
done quietly: they do not nag, pester
and harass us for contribution?; they
give us peace, and set us an example
?an example which we have not j
found ourseleves able tc follow.

Navy "Work Hampered.
Steel Famine Afficts All Line of
Cunstrution.
Delay in Completing Warships?Contractors
Complain That They are
Unable to Procure Material at Any
Price.
Washington, Sept. 7 ?The navy
is beginning to feel seriously the
tft'cCt of the heavy advance in the
steel maiket. Yesterday the ship
building firm of Lally & Co., of Bos
tor, asked a year's extension from
October 1, in building the torpedo
boat9 De Long and Blakely, now
under construction in their yards.
The Nixons at Eiizabethport, N. J.,
who are building the torpedo boats
Nicholson and O'Brien have stated
to naval cfficials that it i9 impossible
for them to get frogings and
struts, and it is expected that they
will have to ask an extension.
There are twelve cf the torpedo
boats and destroyers under construction
in various yards, and all are
affected by the "steel famine'' and
heavy prices, so that it is expected
that extensions will be asked on all
of these craft.
The prospect i3 that the bids on
the 6ix protected cruisers, to be
opened on November 1, will be much
higher than was expected when the
appropriation for them was made.
It is roughly estimated that the steel
in hulls has advanced about 50 per
^ i ? ftn ^ A s\ ? r\ /"> rv 4 .
ieui.; iu cujjiuccj auuui tv pci tcui.,
and Ibat the average advance on all
classes of steel used in ships is about
35 per cent.
The engineering bureau has also
felt the advance, not only in increased
prices, but in an inability to get
material and bids inside the limit
fixed by congress. On a recent purchase
of electric cranes, the advance
was found to be about 25 per cent,
[n the contracts for material for the
power plant at New York the increase
ranged from 30 to 50 per cent., the
latter applying to engines.
The bureau of yards and docks is
unable to proceed with a number of
building projects at the navy yard
and stations, owing to the advance
in steel. This is the ca9e as to
the large buildings at the New York
navy yard, all the bids being in excess
of the amount allowed by congress.
The same is true of the
ordnance shops at the League island
yard, Philadelphia, and of several
lesser projects.
Civil Engineer Cunningham, of
the bureau of yards and docks, says
structural steel has advanced 100
UCl V/tU u.
Admiral O'Neill, of the bureau cf
ordnance, says the price of ordnance
is about the only branch not affected
by the rise in steel. Gun metal is
used only by the army and navy, so
that there is no commercial demand
to send up the prices.

The Critical Ag2.
At 40 men begin to feel the strain
of hard work. If they have been
careless or reckless they are liable to
break down. Another critical period
is sixty, when those holding positions
of responsibility, who are too absorbed
to take proper rest, go to pieces.
Yet a man who has lived to that age
ought to continue 10 years longer,
provided he takes care of himself.
It is the pace that tells. It would
be laughable, if it were not serious,
to see staid bankers and merchants
rushing along to save a few minutes'
delay, or, like General Scott in his
famous letter of acceptance, "swallow
a bastv plate of soup" for luncheon,
or, constantly smoking long,
black cigars, as Go\ernor Flower did,
or, dictating to a stenograpner oil an

custom. When I watch these human
