POLITICAL INTOLERANCE.
It is to be exceedingly regretted
that in our political i campaigns
there is bo much in our stump
speeches, our newspapers and even
in private discussions that is so un
fair as to unbalance many minds
and persuade them that everybody
holding views opposed their own is
necessarily wicked and not entitled
to decent treatment, i
'i
There are those who can " forget
the life service of such a man! as
JohnG Carlisle, whose statesman
ship and his title to the highest re
spect has probably never been dis
puted until this abnormal financial
Agitation. . - i
Now, because his views do not
coincide with the popular storm he
is regarded as unfaithful to he
cause of his country and was j in
sulted at his own home in Kentucky
recently. He was probably. the one
least excited in the meeting and
coolly asked those who did not
want to .hear him to please leave.
He finished his speech of two hours
but a howling mob had to ; be kept
at bay while he made his way to
hif home for the night. v Such is a
relic of worse days than these of
civilization of which we like to
boast. - . " I " ' '
The spirit of intolerence is even
mmifested among us .sometimes.
No xeasnnable! eeakeis can object
;) occasional? outbursts of eritbu?
iaspjs fcMfaWitieSi, bait every one
ifoi nisi: fhilbjviflfe and" thl, public
court houee is preeminently the
place- to- go- andrhearrtlifim ; -
Now if we do not want to hear
.we can stay a way, but. those citizens
who wish .to hear are cerlaiqly en?
titled to the privilege as well as we.
There should be no purpose to hin
der and we' wish to advise those who
do that they make the sturdy class
of - adherents; to- their cause ashamed
and sometimes drive, them' away
from, the party or so humiliate them
as to cool all their enthusiasm.
We can do better than to indulge
in such methods and it is to be
hoped all good citizens of every po
litical shade will conspire to raise
our community above the name of
political intolerance.
T11D LATE'SfOBa.
vWe that escaped Hbf uries of that
terrible storm gave, a few sighs and
a few words of pity and passed on
in the busy marts of life forgetful
of those in the storm's path. But
not so with them. After the first
stunning shock of what seemed to
be Divine chastisement there came a
thrill of gratitude that it wa3 no
worse. Man's nature i? to rise
and sink as his , thoughts cen
tre on Divine mercies for a
time then! on his surrounding.
Rev. Wm. A Julian writes from
Mason, Fla., that houses, churches,
j " ' '' '
forests and I fences were; swept to one
common destruction. Roads are
blocked and much s offering is ensu
ing for lack of facilities to reach
supplies while stock are denradating
on crops. Thus, the fruits of years
of frugal toil are snatched away and
thesf unfortunate people are left
with the most gloom inspiring en
vironments, They should receive help from
favored districts, and we may do
well in humility and faithfulness in
life to stay jour turn which will as
suredly come in some form of ca
lamity when we render it needful
for our goo'd. .
Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Diamondale, Mich.,
we are permitted to make this ex
tract: I I have no hesitation in re
commending. Dr. Kind's New Dis
covery, as the results were almost
marvelous in the casa of my wife.
While I was pastor . of the Baptist
church at Rives Junction she was
brought- down; with pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible
paroxysms lot: coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them, - A friend recommended Dr.
King's New Discoueryj it was quick
in its worki and highly, satisfactory
in results Trial ' bottles . free- at
Fetzer's Drug Store. Rsgular: size
50c and 81.00. .
'She Accepted the Nomination.
f . -' i . - - .-
An Atchison man recently asked
a girl to marry him, and though
she had been sitting up nights for
him for six months, she replied
that she would notify him of her
answer by mail. After spending a
week in suspense, he received a let
ter from her, 3,000 words in length.
In it she explained her position on
the tobacco question, stated what
she Jhad always advocated n the
best kind of baking powder, told
him that it was with a feeling of
deep gratification that she accepted
the honor he 'had done her, and
hoped that she would always faith
fully preserve the traditions of good
housekeeping, etc. He wps nearly
dead from exhaustion when he (
reacned,the postscript which read :
VYou are! so full of politics, I
thought it i might please you to be
accepted like the candidates accep t
their presidential nominations."

While in Iowell was Doctor Ayer ; L ,
Both were busy for human weal
One to govern and one to heal.
And, as a. president's power of will
Sometimes depends on a liver-pill, -'
Mr. Polk took Ayer's Pills I trow
lor his liver, 50 years ago.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills
were designed to supply a
model purgative to people who
had so long injured themselves
with griping medicines. Being
carefully prepared andf their in
gredients adjusted to the exact
necessities of the bowels and
liver, their, popularity was in
stantaneous. That this popu
larity has been maintained is
well marked in the me d al
awarded these pills at the
