The Liberals in New York;
Gail for a Conventions.

New YORK, March 29.-The Trl-
bune tomorrow will publish the toll
lowing call for a convention
"To Col. VIM. NJ. Grosvenor chair
nan Of the executive committee OF the
Liberal Republican Convention OF
Missouri, Washington. Sir: we, re-
publjcans of New York wish to eX-
press our concurrence in the principles
lately set forth by the liberal repub,Il-
cans of Missouri. We make this de-
parture from the ordinary methods OF
party action from deep convlc'ioh
that the organization to which we be-
long is under the control OF those
who will use it chiefly for personal
purposes and obStruct free expressions
of opinion upon Important matters
which gentlemen whom YOU represent
have laid before the people OF 'he
United States.
Eve believe the time has come
when political ohonses Of the past
should be pardoned that all citizens
should be protected in the enjoyment
Of right guaranteed to them by the
constitution; that federal taxation
should be imposed for revenue and 50
adjusted as to make the burden upon
the industry Of the country as hight as
possible; that a reform IN the cINlI
service should be made which Will re-
lieye political action from the InII'-
ence Of official patronage; That 'he
right Of local self. government, the
Foundation Of American freedom
should be rraSscrtel, and encroach-
mentS Of the federal power checked.
1--WE believe at this time special
duty rests on the people to do away
with corruption in office. The expos
ure5 recently made in this State have
brought to light evils not confined tc
one party nor to a single locality, and
disclose dangers more formidable than
any which the rep"bIic has yet ell
countrrcd
with the hope that tn" movement
begun in Mis- ,ur may spread through

Pain andIts Pauncen.

While pain Is condition Of humanity,
every effort to ameliorate its intensity, or
remove the predsposing cause, merits our
warmest gratitude, our careful cons lera-
tion, and It's success our frank acknowledge
ment. There is popularity about the sen
satlon called pain which is OF infinite service.
1t is q premonition Of impending i'll, a declar-
alton Of war against the well being of the
body which cannot be removed while the
cause exists. Remove the cause, and the
effect will cease, endeavor to cover up the
effect, and the cause will be Intensified, the
anguish temporarily concealed, break forth
again with rcdoubled ardor. Many remedies
merely do this, and, after repeated trials, fail
to satisfy the conditions upon which only
can they be useful TO humanity. Such medi-
cines have brief popularity, and are retired
rs unworthy of public approval. There are
Others which time tries but to enhance their
value, TO endorse and spread abroad their
usefulness and common humanity, the public,
is q perpetual gamer by their extended popu-
larity and expanded sales OF these, per
haps, there are no such two notable in
stances rs the Davis Pain Killer and Aliens
Lung Balsam. The Pain-Killer may be
styled the mathematics of medicine, for 1t
never makes a mistake, its modifying infu-
cnce pervades the system, and one trial only
Is requisite TO make 1t treasure forever. IL
does not merely cover up, cures. All the
civilized nations of the earth admit its value,
accept its fame, and benefit by its use. 1t Is
no fiattery to compare it to The sovereign
balm spoken Of In the Holy Writ, for pain
flies from its presence, as night is dissipatcd
by Che rising sun. Externally, internally,
and eternally 1t proves its value wherever
tried. The same holds good of Aliens Lung
Balsam, which, for all complaints of the air
passages Of the lungs, has proved itself what
1t Processes to be-a positive specific. The
western world owes debt of gratitude IL can
never repay to T. H. c. Allen, whose instru-
mentality was the handspring of the intro
duction Of these medicines. For years he
was the painstaking pioneer of the Pain
Killer and other remedies westward, and the
old man and matron, the sturdy pioneer and
his courageous helpmeet, now enjoying a
prosperous old age, will testify to the aid and
comfort they received, years and years ago,
from these medicines, when drug stores were
few and doctors far apart. Under Providence
they VIII attribute their green old age, lusty
and kindly, to their acquaintance with these
mixtures, through the admirable ADvERTIs
