OASTORXA. ftth Haill slgutiit at list fail Which Have I'pset Christendom In the I'a.st, The nosey Craze Aq.iIs Looks lp Serenely Only to Be Relegated to Oblivion Like In Crecarxer. Many things have happened In the history of the world whlnh almost rrtak. one lose respect for his kind and faith In human nature. The erases which have taken possession of whole com munlties, nay, even almost whole ns . Hons, are hard to account for on any theory of common sens. One of the most noted of such erase Is known as th. Crusade. These con- slsted of different expeditions from Europe to the holy land, the account of which, as handed down In history. la almost Incredible. Thousand of poor people, rabble and children, as well as knights and soldiers, undertook these joumles. Of course they perished by the hundreds, only a comparative few ever living to reach the border of Palestine. A great business speculation which took place in our own colonial times, known as th "South Be Bubble," was another Instance of such erases; when the world seemed to go topsy-turvy, and thousands of people lost their rea soning faculties, only to And them again after being landed on the shore of utter bankruptcy. In England they have Just had an experience some what similar to the South Sea Bubble, In the African mining speculation. In which thousands of poor people have been reduced to abject poverty, and many well-to-do people have become poor for the balance of their live. The foundation and moving force of these speculative crazes is avarice the desire to be suddenly wealthy, with, little or no exertion. This desire i common to all mankind, to a certain extent but experience and common sense teach us that things don't hap pen that way. In the instances cited, however, certain condition prevailed which made a foundation to work up on, and the movement once started under skillful management the weak side of human nature was soon com pletely undermined, and the people fell easy victims to the craze, which thus became epidemic. Now it appear that the coming presi dential election Is developing a erase a marked, and which may result aa disastrously a any of those named. The Demopopocratle, Free Silver and general Socialistic movement is cer tainly one of the most unaccountable. unreasonable and senseless erase which ever occurred at any time or In any country. We have been In the habit of flattering ourselves that the United State of America Is the top notch nation of the world; that her citizens are as intelligent patriotic and honest as can be found In the uni verse, and that they are In favor of good laws, good government, good money, and good times, based on a solid foundation. Instead or which we find at least a good-sized minority of them boldly and vociferously advocat ing untried, socialistic and revolution ary methods of government, with the demand for the unlimited coinage of silver at twice Its commercial value the main issue of the campaign. The greenback fiat craze had its day a few years ago, and waa supposed to be dead. Any intelligent ten year ol3 boy ought to know that the Idea Is en tirely false, but behold, it rise up again with new life and new vigor. The fact that 15 or 18 ounces of silver were at one time worth as much as one ounce of gold has nothing to do with the question; but It la useless to here argue the case, it has already been argued and discussed time and again. and argument seems to do no good with a man aflicted with a craze. The Spartans, we are told, used iron for money, but they never attempted to coin a small piece of iron and say it should absolutely be made to pass for any specified sum. They simply used the metal at its commercial value. They were honest, if their circulating medium was inconvenient; but what shall we say of the men who want a certain piece of silver to circulate for a certain sum of money whether it la worth that much or not? Thu camel Is a beast of great strength and endurance. Nothing hurts It until the proverbial "last straw" is added to its burden. The human digestive sys tem is very much like a camel. It is really astonishing how much abuse it will stand. Sometimes, however, some thing worse than usual will be eaten, and will go through the stomach into the bowels, and there it will stick that's constipation. Nine-tenths of all human sickness is due to constipation. Some of the simplest symptoms are coated tongue and foul breath, dizzi ness, heartburn, flatulence, sallowness, distress after eating, and lassitude. A little thing will cause constipation, and a little thing will relieve it. Dr. Pierce' Pleasant Pellets are a certain cure for constipation. They are tiny, sugar- ' coated granules, mild and natural in their action. There Is nothing injurious about them. Sold by druggists.
