APRIL 11. 1896 A LOST OPPORTUNITY. Through all its years of blunder ing stupidity the Democratic party never made a greater mistake than in declaring for free silver as it did at the Portland convention. The . course of the Republicans in nomin ating Ellis, a free silver man, had given to the Democrats an opportu nity such as seldom comes. The majority of voters in the Second dis trict is opposed to the financial views held by Mr. Ellis, and had it not been for the factional tight in Multnomah county, he would have polled but few votes in the convention. His nomination was due to circum stances extraordinary in their na ture, and which overturned all cal culations previously made. Had the Democrats noted the feel ing existing in Republican ranks at the triumph of the free silver can didate, and come to the front with a sound money platform, honest in statement and belief, it is by no means sure but that enough sound money Republicans would have voted for the Democratic candidate to have insured his election. But blindness prevailed, and the Democrats fell into the ditch, leav ing their opponents upon the brink. Their action has destroyed any hope of success in the coming campaign, and, wrapped up in the free silver delusion, they will suffer a repetition of former defeats. From a Republican standpoint, in the light 6f party advantage, the action of the Democrats is all that could be desired. Viewing the situ ation from - higher ground, it is'dis appointing that a body of intelligent men should declare their belief in a policy which by history and reason is proved to be ruinous. The Republican party can well feel thankful for the magnanimity of their opponents. It would have been embarassing in the extreme had the Democrats declared for sound money and nominated a can didate with views in accordance with such a platform. a But now the two candidates are alike in their beliefs upon the coinage -question, while the Republican nominee has the advan tage which his tariff views afford him, "While the Republican state plat form does not in so many words de clare in fav'cr of the gold standard, it is far from expressing favor for the free coinage of silver. The platform as adopted will meet with general approval, though had the action of the New York convention been followed, and a, similar plank adopted, the party would be less open to the charge of equivocation. However, outside of states repre sented by the senators who held up the tariff bill, the sentiment of Re publican leaders is in favor of sound money, and this ' is obtainable only by refusing to coin silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The Republican party is against the free coinage of silver, and when restored to power will place our coinage on a firm basis. We think that, outside of a small number who ' are needlessly alarmed because everyone- does not believe as they do, the Republican platform will commend itself. rlst of Indispenslble Books. Some time ago the editor of the Mis eouri Editor, published at Columbia, Mo., wrote to Mr. Charles A. Dana, edit or of the New York Sun, asking for a short list of books valuable tor country editors.

In maidenhood, wo manhood, wife hood and moth erhood the " Pre scription " is a supporting tonic and nervine that's peculiarly adapted to her needs, regelating, strengthening and cur ing the derangements of the sex. Why is it so many women .owe tneir beauty to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription? Because beauty of form and face radiate from the common center health. The best bodily condition results from good food, fresh air and exercise coupled with the judicious use of the "Prescription." ; If there be headache, pain in the back, bearing-down sensations, or general de bility, or if there be nervous disturbance, nervous prostration, and sleeplessness, the "Prescription" reaches the origin of the trouble and corrects it. It dispels aches and pains, corrects displacements and cures catarrhal inflammation of the lining mem branes, falling of the womb, ulceration, ir regularities and kindred maladies. "FALLING OF WOMB."
