The elections throughout the country are over, and the news papers are endeavoring to tell the people how it happened that their predictions went wild. This might be expected of news papers, because they must say something, but the party lead ers, instead of being square and honest, and acknowledging, the Democratic party, being in the hands of incompetent leaders, thy try to cling on by holding out hope. Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the Demo cratic National Executive Com mittee after paying several visits to President Roosevelt in search of a position on the canal commission, and so far has not succeeded in getting the job, has now come out in an inter- i view, in which he pretends to see a Democratic victory in the next national election, two years hence. It is possible that the Democrats may get the nemt President, but in our opinion, it is highly'Improbable, however, be--tfat as it may, if the Demo dratic party ever gets back into power, it must first dislodge itself of such a burden as its present chairman J. K. Jones of Arkansas, because, if there ever was a political bunco-steerer, it is this man who leading a party with a shibboleth of "Down with Trusts." is himself a Trust man. The party in order to win must clear itself of such scuttlers as Teller, the Western Republican, who crawled over the side of the silver-ladened Democratic ship and instead of serving a proba tionary period before the mast, he took hold of the wheel and directed her into a haven of ] disaster. It also must be scrap ed of the barnacles that since the day Cleveland's captaincy, has accumulated and obstructed her progress. In our humble opinion, to make the Democratic1 party win, there must be an in-1 fusion of new blood into the body politics, the present leaders] are no good,proven so before the people several times and the sooner we relegate them the -better. There is no doubt that all is] not serene within the ranks of 1 the Republican party, as is evi denced by the large gains the Democrats made in Republican *strongholds, but it must be re- 1 membered this was an off year, 1 and that party was well in- 1 trenched, it could afford to lose several congressmen and then keep a good working majority, hence in the recent election there was considerable apathy, but let the time come when the lea ders of the Republican party .must hang out the "red light"1 and all differences are immed iately put aside and a general falling in takes place. This is4 all because that party is under competent leadership; it has at its head Mark Hanna, who is a Trust magnate and he does not endeavor to conceal it. Mark's campaign shibboleth is "A full dinner pail," and it takes. He says the combination of capital is for the country's interests, and the moneyed element agree with him. Jones runs over the. country wrapped in a cloak of hypocrisy preaching patriotism, Hanna on the other hand, talks dollars and cents, and uses the frying pan to get the necessary grease to make his machine run smoothly. The leadership of the Republicans may not be moral, but it is practical and successful, while the leadership of the Democrats may, if led by honest men, be moral,1 it is entirely theoretical, impo tent, and impractical. In this day of practical ideas, theories, and pretty fourth of July sentiments have little weight with the aver age business man, and the party which shows something that stimulates business, no matter who has it to pay, holds out to him an inducement to catch his confi dence. In the South all white men are Democrats in name, but how many are they who are real genuine Democrats, believing in1 the principles now being enun-1 ciated by the present leadership? The white men vote the Demo-1 cratic ticket, not that they are convinced, it is the party which will do most for them, but be *cause, it is the only party in the South which separates the white man from the negro, and which does not recognize the negro in party councils; were it not for this condition, the South would be like the North, East and the West, divided into parties,issuesI would then be fairly and intelli-i gently treated, but as situated! now, we must continue under; the one party rule, and make our party one of men regardless of measures. We must continue furnishing the Democratic votes, and the Northerners will contin ue the beneficiaries, and under these conditions our only sensi-1 ble plan is to make our situation TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

Rev. S. B. Anderson, of Portsniouth. 0.. recites the following tostiniony of a converted gambler and saloon-keeper.z given in one of the meetings in1 his church: "I have been in the saloon business with a gambling room attached, for the last four years. and claim to know something about what I am now ,oin to tell vou. I do not believe that the gambling done is nearly so dangerou11s, nor does it do anything like the same amount of harm, as the social card par ty in the home. "I give this as my reason: In the I gambling room the windows are closed tight, and the curtains are pulled down: everything is conducted secretly for fear of detection. and none but gam blers, as a rule, enter there. while in the parlor all have access to the game: children aro permitted to watch it: young lleople are invited to partake in it. It is made attractive and alluring by giving prizes, serving refreshments. and adding high social enjoyments. dFor my part I never could see the difference between playing for a piece of silver molded in the shape of money, and silver molded in the shape of a cup or a thimble. The principle is the same, and when ever property changes hands over the luck of cards, no matter how small is the value of the prize. I believe it is gambling. "Perhups you have never thought of it. but where do all the gamblers come from? They are not taught in the gam bling dens. A 'greener,' unless he is a fool, never enters a gambling hell, because he knows that he still be lleec ed out of every thing he possesses in less than fifteen minutes. He has learn ed somewhere else before he sets foot inside of such a place. When he has played in the parlor, in the social game of the home, and has become proficient enough to win prizes among his friends the next step with him is to seek out the gambling room, for he has learned, and now counts upon his efficiency to hold his own. "The saloon men and gamblers chuck le and smile when they read in the pa pers of the parlor games given by the ladies, for they know that after awhile those same men will become the patrons of their business. I say. then, the parlor game is the college where gain blers are made and educated. In the I name of God, men, stop this businessi in your homes. Burn up your decks and wash your hands. "The other day I overheard two la dies talking on Ithe street. One said, 'I am going to have a card-party, and am going to the store to buy a pack of cards. Which is the best kind to get' The other replied, 'Get the angel card. It has an angel on the back.' "Think," said he. "of dragging the pure angels of heaven into this infern al business. "'-Religious Telescope. ALCOHOL AND THE BRAIN. How often and aptly physiologists quote from Cassio's exclamation in Othello-Shakespeare: "0, God, that men should put an enemy into their mouths to steal away their brain: That we should. with joy, revel, pleasure and applause, transform ourselves into beasts' So be now a sensible man, and by-and-by a fool and presently a beast: , stronge' every inordinate crop is unblessed, and the ingredient is the devil." A practical observer can, at a glance at a man under the influence of alcoholics. deter'mine to a certainty just how far his brain is under theim mediate damaging effects of the drug. If he be noisy, boisterous, songful, glib, rich without money, hilarious, the ob server know that the upper and great er mass of the brain, the cerebrum i involved, as that is the seat of judge ment or moral faeultier, all of wvhich are now weakened and thrown into dis cord. Next we see the victim un steady. staggering, tottering and fal-1 ling. It is now certain that the lower portion of the brain is damaged as there is centered the controlling nerve in-I fluence over the muscuar movements of the body. One reason for the silli ness in some men on a drunken spree, and in others for the rage. ugliness and quarrelsomeness, is that* the brain i poisoned, its albumen hardened, its blood vessels paralyzed and congested, others unbalancing the mind. It is a well established fact that alco hol scars the brain as the knife scat's the skin, in that it enlarges the cells of* the brain tissues and form that state, they never resume their former normal1 condition. The reformed often feels after a time. that he is safe. having conquered his old enemy, but one dr'ink now will show him that he is not his Consumption Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con sumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice t the consumptive 50. and Ioo years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fazt is the food the consumptive needs 1 most.1 Scott'sEmulsionisthemod en method of feeding fat to~ the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emnulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos phites in Scott's Emulsion1 that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs. a:.-A sample wil be1 sent free upon request. - Ee sure that this picture in , the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of 1 Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & - BOWNE, CHEMISTS, 409 Pearl St., N. Y. )wn master. but is again a slave to the )id appetite. What a price for a drink? Alcohol first irritates and disturbs -quilibrium then poisons and weakens :he nerve system, and finally produces ilmnost deadly relation. Wnile the brain suffers. other organs depen lent upon it for nerve force, suffer with it in the punishment. For instance, it is no uncommon experience to meet an liabitual drinker with drunkard's blindness, caused by want of proper nouiihment for the optic nerve, caus ID a misty or cloudy appearance before the eves. Then to the drinker let me 4ay, stop, think, ponder and weigh the consequences. then turn to the right ind keep in the middle of the road. It is a clearly proven fact that the habitual use of alcohol as a beverage .annot be indulged in even in very cm all quantities without injury to some -f the bodily organism which will man ifest itself sooner or later. Read what that eminent surgeon. 3ir Henry Thompson, said: "There is io single habit in this country which ;o much tends to deteriorate the quali ies of the race. and so much disquali ies it for endurance in that competi ion which in the nature of things must exist.' As a rule the drinkers judg nent is impaired. thus his appetite is micontrolled and drink seems to be the iod he worships, and too often it pre letermines his own physical condition mad that of his children. Why is it hat the majority of drinking men are 2ot as keen of perception as the abstain r? Because of the enlarged brain cells tbove mentioned. Strange that with uch glaring facts before us warning us >f the danger of alcoholic indulgence. t has so niany devotees. How careful nan is to inprove and strengthen the tock of his dumb animals by keeping hem up to the demands of nature's wise aws. So, too, have we improved the egetable kingdom almost beyond con eption, and still we strive on for great r perfection . But man alone of all arth sinks below his nature by yield ng to appetites and passions. Cured of Piles After 40 Years. Mr. C. Haney of Geneva, Ohio, had he piles for forty years.
