Rheumatism, BEING duo to the presence of uric a..J iu the blood, is most effectually cured by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. lie sure you get Ayer's and no other, and take it till the poisonous acid m thoroughly expelled from the system. AVe challenge attention to this testimony : "About two years ago, after snfferinsj for nearly two years from rheumatic pout, oeing able to walk only with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, without relief, I saw by an advertisement in a Chicago paper that a man had Deen relieved of this distressing complaint, afrer long suffering, by "taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

NOT DISCOURAGED. . Prohibitionist ay Itecent I)efeats Have Not Discouraged Them. The prohibitionists are putting on a very bold face m view oi the recent setLacks to their cause in the eastern etati's. Judging by the feeling of some of the Indianapolis members, t lie third party is not froiuf: to turn up its toes just yet I'erhapa the most prominent ami most influential third party man in the state is Capt. Kii F. Hitter. To a reporter Saturday he paid : "I Fee nothincr that need discourage anybody. Oi course I would have liked to have sen the amendment carried in Massachusetts and other places where it has been up. and hope to see it carried in Pennsylvania; but if it i not, 1 Fhall not be discouraged. There are h0,(XX) at least, us shown by the result voters in Massachusetts, who, liter a thorough consideration of all the facts, became convinced that prohibition is the best way of dealing with the liquor traffic, and they had the courage so to vote. It is safe to say that that number represented the best moral element, literary culture and true courage among; the people. The vote shows a crystaliz ition of sentiment upon the qii'-stioi), ani u minority though it may be. yet it is a vot? and an influence that will be felt in the future, and don't you fors tit!" Kelerrinsr to the conduct of the campaign in Massachusetts, Capt. Ritter siid: "It would be interesting to consider the classes of the people who voted on the other side of this question. Many ot them were good, honest people; but all the worst elements wer3 on the the anti-side; and those are not the elements that lead public thought in this country." "Do you not think some of your party will become discouraged over the matter?" "No hlr. These elections that are being held on the question of prohibition are c-btrudinjr that question upon public attention. They expose the fallacies and falsehoods of the license system, and its advocates, and educates the public mind. There is one tiling that is certain and clear tliat is, the saloon will have to po. It may not be this year, but there will be no peace in politics nor society until ibis disturbing element is driven out." "You are not poin? to throw up the fight, then, in Indiana?" "The campaign on this question in Indiana will be stronger and hotter next year than ever before, and so it will go all over the country." Misses Hay and Woodward, the ladies who hav charge of th state prohibition headquarters, are not in the least discomfited by the results in Massachusetts and New Hamnshir. "It was not our fight," declared Miss Woodward yesterday, "and there was nothing about it to discourage us. It was just w hat I was expecting, for it was not our kind of a campaign. We don't believe in no:i-partban eilorts that day is passed." "How do you explain the fact that when the prohibition amendment came to a piain vote of yes and no it was defeated?" "Because it was not a fair test. The so.bmis.sion was a political trick, and prohibition wid not prevail by trickery. The leaders of the republican party are opposed to prohibition and brought about the submission amendment in order to bring discredit upon prohibition. The rank and rile of the republican party are in favor of it, but the leaders seek the support of the w hisky league." "But I still do not understand how you explain away the defeat of a plain prohibition amendment?" queried the reporter. "Well, as I said before, it was not as plain submission, but a political trick There were, however, some other reason, why the amendment did not call out the full" prohibition vote. In New Hampshire they already had a prohibition law and the proposed amendment would have really weakened it, inasmuch as it excepted cider. It was claimed that this exception was made in the interest of fanner?, there being a pood deal of cider made in New Hampshire, but the cider clause, if left out, would afford such great opportunities for evading the actual law that many of the prohibitionists refused to support it. There was a somewh it similar state of affairs in Massachusetts and it cut down our vote there. Another thing is that the question was not agitated long enough before the people." The Rev. Ir. Keen, pastor of Roberts park church, who. although not a partisan, is in sympathy with the third party movement, and has been for several years, eaid to the reporter: "I do not think the results in Massachusetts and New Hampshire will discourage the members of the third party. I at no time anticipated success for the amendments in those states, and do not think the amendment will carry in Pennsylvania; in fact, have not the least notion that it will. The vote in the eastern state is to me gratifying, instead of disappointing. The matter has cans, d a? tat:on of the subject among; the people and h;.s served to educate th in. That the amendment did not carry d es not matt r, for practical prohibition is not to be reached in that way. Prohibition as" a policy does not mean Pimply stitr.tory law or constitutional provisions. Prohibition as prohibition will be nu'ceasful only when It has obtained control of th legislative, julicial and administrativ functions of our government. An long as it succeeds in controlling only one or even two of these, its efficacy will be destroyed. There are now prohibitory laws in some states, but they are poorly enforced. Hence they really have only fragmentary prohibition there. That is bfcause the legislative, judicial and administrative Dowers are not united in its favor. Practical prohibition can only be attained bv obtaining control of all "the branches of government. That is why I am in favor of the third party."
