ThH Washington Post, ana ny rue way a very Knowing paper politically, agrees with a democratic cumum porary that this year's campaign holds out strong promise of demo cratic victory. Of course, the refer ence is to the fall congressional elec tions. Tht Post's contemporary is quoted as remarking that from the expected victory of 1302 "the coun try will he ahle to predicate the re sults of the greater contests for governmental supremacy in 1004." The Post holds that "government al supremacy" means full control of the legislative and executive depart mentsthe position now occupied by the republican party, but which has been held by the democrats only two years since 1858. To secure that power the democrats must not only have a majority in both houses of congress, but must have one of their number in the White House. It is .- Tint vorv improbable that they will win the election of 1904. securing the presidency and the house of re nresentatives. but It is extremely lm probable that they will at tho same time win "governmental supremacy So many and great have been the rfianatpra that have befallen the democrats since 1892 that the sen nte is beyond any reasonable hope of a political change until after 1904. We know of no democrat who ex pects any such hopes for his party. Democratic statesmen at tho capital, when ashed lor a candid opinion as to the chances of capturing the sen ate two years hence tho senate of the Fifty-ninth congress gravely shako their heads. It is conceded by all well informed democrats in nmi nut of congress and especially by correspondents of democratic ne.wsnaners. that nothing less than a nhenominal series of tidal wave democratic victories in states that are nominally republican can change the political complexion of the sen ate before 190C. And if that change Bhould come about in 1906, "govern mental supremacy" might not come with it, for by that time tho houso might have slid back to republican control, repealing the story of 1894, when fate dumped a republican houso Into tho middle of President Glove land's second term. But tho fact that republican con trol of the senate cannot bo effected bv a republican defeat this year, and Is Generally regarded as securely fortified until 1900, will help tho democracy in tho pending business tho capturo of tho house. Dissatis fied republicans are numerous. Thero arc thousands of them in cord that is creating the republican discontent out of which the demo cratic party reasonably expects to make gains in the house. And, be sides, the less talk there is of 1904 the faster will be the decline in the heat of the feud that has brought the democracy to its present low estate. If we expect the good will and as sistance of our republican friends we cannot afford to convince the.u that our purpose is to annihilate their party and drive it out of bus! ness, for such is not the case, but we do expect them to help us to put a stop to the abuses in government for which tho republican party is responsible and which its leaders make no effort to check or lessen. The people should turn the party out of power when the party in pow or banks upon its strength to such an extent as to use it as a license for every conceivable kind of politi cal exploitation known to those who feed upon the government and traffic in office at the expense of the peo ple. FACTS AND COMMENTS. Old people must have many reflec tions in common. Doubtless one which I have now in mind is very fa miliar. For many years past, when watching the. unfolding buds of tho spring there has arisen' the thought Shall I over. again see the buds un told? Shall I over again be awaken f.d at dawn by the song of the thrush? Now that tho end is not like lm lmnr nostnoned. there re sults an increasing tendency to medi tate upon ultimate quest'.ios Tr. is commonly supposed that those who have renounced the creed nf niirlRtoiulnm necuHV themselves with material interests and material activities thinking nothing of tho How or Why the whence or wann er. It may be so with some of tho uncultured, but it is certainly not so with many of the cultured. In tno miniia nf thnsn intimately known io me, tho riadlo of existence Alls sraces far larger than tho current ct.ncoptlor. fills in the minis of men in genera!. After studying primitive beliefs and finding that there is no origin fnr thn liWnf an after-life save the conclusion which the savage draws from tho notion suggested by dreams nt n wnminrlTitr double which comes Lack on awaking and which goes away for an indefinite time at ueatn; nnii nftnr oontemnlatlnu the inscrut iihio relation between the brain and consciousness, and finding that we can get no ovidence of the existence of tho last without tho activity of tho nat wn noom nhlicful to relinaulsh the 'thought that consciousness con tinues after physical organization linn lificonin inactive. But It seems a strange and repun- gent conclusion tnat witn tno ces sation of consciousness at death, there ceases to be any knowledge of havlnc existed. With his last breath It becomes to each tho same tiilncr ns thouch ho had never lived. Ami tlmnt hfi consciousness itself what is it during tho time that It Tiirnnniinnt Hin country, especial ly in Its loss frequented parts, the hv-rnatls. and sometimes even the main roads, have strips of green sward several yards wide on eitnei side of the part used for traffic. In what manner do these strips origi nate? Cows and horses drink in the same way that we do, whereas dogs and cats drink by lapping. Whence aris es the difference oi habit? Why does a ducit waddle in walk ing? And what is the need for that trait of structure which causes it to waddle? How is it that a bulldog is able to maintain his hold for a longer per iod than other dogs? Rookeries are nearly always close tn human dwellings, usually of some size. Rooks seem to gain nothing from this proximity, but daily lly far away to their feeding grounds. More over they persist in thus breeding in the trees and around the houses, though annually many of their young are shot as soon as they can fly. What circumstances have led to the establishment of a home apparently so unfit? In rambles or drives throughout the country we see few blackbirds or thrushes in the open fields, but we see more as we aproacn nouses especially good houses, even in the time of year when there is no temp tations from the fruit gardens. Why is this? In attempted answers to these questions . ' the noteworthy fact has been the undeveloped idea of causa tion implied. Not so much that the answers were wrong, but that they betrayed no conception of a revelent cause, was "the startling revelation. When, for instance, I was asked whether a soaring lark's ability to sing without a break was due to the greater purity of the air high up, there was shown entire failure to conceive the physical actions neces sitated by a lark's song. Then, again, there were suggested solu tions which wore utterly indefinite even it rovelant. WlifMi ns n rpnsnn wliv Mm ftrinlr. ing of cows and horses differs from that of cats and dogs, there came the inquiry Is it because of the differ ence in the shape of their throats? It is clear that had I said ves. the answer would have been thought suf- ilclent, no conception having heen frnmnd nf tho wav In which thn Riir gested difference might account for the unlikeness of habit. Evidently minus Jen in tne implied state are seed oeus for superstition.

Weak women are made strong and sick women are made well by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity, dries disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and ulcera tion and cures female weakness. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All correspondence strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. il had been ailing some time, troubled with female weakness," writes Mrs. Wm. II. Johnson, of Avoudale, Chester Co., Pa, "UJvery mouth I would have to Ue on my back. I tried many different medicines and nothing gave me relief until I began Dr. Pierce's medicines, using two bottles of ' I'avorite Prescription ' oud two of 'Golden Medical Discovery." These medicines have cured me. When I began your treatment I was not able to do very much, but now I do the work for my family of nine, nnd feel better to-day than I have for a year. I thank you. doctor, from the bottom of my heart, for well do I kuow that you are the one who cured me." "Favorite Prescription" has the testi mony of thousands of women to its com plete cure of womanly diseases. Do not accept an unknown and unproved sub stitute in its place. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the best laxative for family use. As in numerous parts of the earth I appropriated by us the native races. are being "improved" out of exist ence, so at home tho progress of "improvement" is yearly leaving less and less of the things which made the county attractive. Under the western end of the. South Downs, where I have taken up my abode this season, daily drives show me beau ties future generations "'ill not see. Various usages, too. which as seen in recollection aro picturesque, are disappearing. Nowadays it is a rare thing to find gleaners; and in many parts of tho country tho gathering of mushrooms is forbiddon. No longer when passing a barn on a winter's day may one hear tho thud of the flails, and no longer may one be awakened on a bright morning In Juno by the sharpening of scythes a sound so disagreeable in itself but mado so delightful by Its surround ings. Whilo in somo respects we may envy posterity, we may in one re spect pity them. This disappearance of remnants and traces of earlier forms of life, intrinsically picturesque as well as picturesque by associa tion, will deprive them of much poetry which now relieves the prose of life.
