old declares that the only
eeling it has in "This Clove
and renaissance is one of ex
treme gratification in the ev
idence it has evoked of a re-
urning sense of justice and
reason." It preceives "noth-
ngelse so significant and
heering in the applause and
pinise that has recently gree
ted the Democrath ex-Persi-
dent, than a knell of the evil
spirit of intolerance and ma
evolence toward a great Pres
ident, and incorruptibi patri
ot, and a true friend of Dem
ocracy and the S mth." This
describes the Observer's feel
ings exactly. The matter of
his nomination next year is
a thing subsidiary of thiscon
sideration. though , wu are
now persuaded that Cleve
land could get more votes
than any other Democratic
andidate and h the one man

make the unpiecidented rec
old of a man thrice nomina-
natcd, Iwne President, and
seriously canvassed in connec
lion with a fourth nomina
tion, having more strength
for it to day than any other
two candidates combined. He
and thev have witnessed his
and their vindication, and it
makes no difference to Mr.
Cleveland and his friends
whether heisnominated next
year or not; though it may
make a good deal of differ

it is but simple justice that

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis

disappear when the kid

or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become to prevalent
that It is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, If the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when It should be able to
control the passage It is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit aa
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
