QUESTION TO BE DETERMINED
The American people are inclined
to politics naturally. Election day
is a time of exhileralion to the aver
age citizen, and he casts his rote and
assists his neighbors in casting theirs
with feelings of pleasure mixed with
pride. The returns are studied with
an avidity that betokens deep inter
est and are collated and compared,
and the result predicted with a skill
that shows careful training.
The campaigns which every four
years occupy the attention of the
nation are distinctive features of
American civic life. The harangues
of the spellbinders, the air resonant
with music, the gay flags and bunt
ing, the tireless enthusiasm of the
listening populace, all make up a
scene that has changed but little
since the early history of the coun
try. The arts ot the politician are no
where greater developed than here.
The American politician is a species
by himself. To be successful in
such a line of work requires certain
elements of character which not
lofty in themselves, yet are above
the common. A native shrewdness,
combined with indomnitable deter
mination and a seeming inability to
Tealize defeat, make up the politi
cian of today.
It is being seriously considered if
the politics of the country are not
being developed at the expense of
Its commercial interests. Many
business men are crying out that
there is a surfeit of campaigning;
that the equilibrium of business
affairs is being too often disturbed
by the frequency of elections; that
vital questions are settled after bitter
struggles only to be re-opened be
fore there has been time to realize
effects.
That there is merit in the query is
unquestioned. The people of Ore
gon have just finished one exciting
political season and are already be
ginning upon another. During the
months between the nominating con
ventions and the election the atten
tion of thousands of our citizens
has been concentrated on other
objects than their business. Bitter
ness and strife have been created,
thousands of dollars have beeD spent
in unlawful manner, and distrust
and dissatisfaction engendered where
before they did not exist.
On the other hand, to change the
time of elections to dates wider
apart would be to go agaiDst the
policy which,enacted by the founders
of the government, has been kept in
view ever since. The sovereignty
of the people demands that frequent
opportunity be given for expression
of opinion, and to lessen the number
of elections would be a deprivation
of popular rights. Whether this
view obtain or not, no denial can be
made that Ihe nation is suffering now
from an allopathic dose of needless
agitation. Were politics 'made of
less account and more time given to
sober thought than now is spent in
vapid mouthings, the country would
be 8 pared the advent of men like
Altgcld, Waite and Tillman, all of
whom are disorganizes in the most
virulent sense of the word. -

' Many issues will be settled this
campaign. Throughout the country
the question of maintaining a sound
currency and the reinactment of a
protective policy will be determined.
In Illinois the people will be called
upon to choose between good gov
ernment and anarchism. The re
nomination of Altgeld was nothing
more nor less than an indorsement
of his action in turning the red
banded anaichists loose when the in
terests of society demanded that
they be kept in close restraint. Alt
geld's defeat should be emphasized
in such a manner tnat the good name
of .Illinois may fee redeemed.
Aside from the silver bolters thei e
will be no sulking in Republican
ranks. The nomination of McKin
ley meets with genuine enthusiasm,
and his name will be a talisman for
speakers to conjure with during the
campaign. The American people will
be called upon to decide whether the
next four years shall be prosperous
or not; whether the markets of this
country shall be presented to the
countries of the world with no rec
ompense in return, and whether the
currency shall be brought to a level
of debasement and consequent dis
honesty. The November election is
a crisis in the welfare cf the nation.
Ohio and Texas have sent delega
tions to strengthen the free silver
crowd at Chicago. Whitney will
have his hands full keeping under
control the Populistic tendencies of
the convention. Sad must be the
soul of Cleveland as he views the
extent to which the Democratic
party has swung away from his cher
ished teachings.
A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DEflANDED.
A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de
posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against " a rainy day " as a reserve fund
we're in a condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon in the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger in getting thin, because it's
a sign of letting down in health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain in whole
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
if our liver, be inactive and our blood im
pure, or if our flesh be reduced below a
healthy standard. What is required is an
increase in our germ-fighting strength. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisons, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that 98
per cent of all cases of consumption can, if
taken in the early stages of the disease, be
cured with the " Discovery," it seems like
a bold assertion. All Dr. Pierce asks is that
yon make a thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion.
By sending to the World's Dispensary Med
ical Association,' Buffalo, N. Y., you can get
a free book with the names, addresses and
photographs of a large number of those
cured of throat, bronchial and lung diseases,
as well as of skin and .scrofulous affections
by the "Golden Medical Discovery." They
also publish a book of 160 pages, being a
medical treatise on consumption, bronchitis,
asthma, catarrh, which will be mailed on
receipt of address and six cents in stamps.
