KIDNEY COMPLAINT.

Probably there is no complaint that afIiicts the
human system, which Is 80 little understood at the
present time, as some OF the varied forms OF Kid
ney COMPLAINTS.
There Is no disease which causes such acute pain
or more alarming in Its results than when the kid
news fail to secrete from the blood the uric ecd ard
other poisonous substances, which the blood accu-
ihuiates IN lts crcuation through the system.
II from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the
functions devolving upon them, the cumulatlons
are taken up by the absorbents and the whole sys-
TEN thrown into a state Of disease causing great
pain and suffering, and very often immediate death.
hence the Importance of keeping the kidneys and
blood In healthy condition, through which all the
Impurities of the blood must pass,

PAIN IN THE Rack.

There is no remedy known to medical science
which has proved Itself more valuable In cases Of
Kidney Complaints than the yEGETINE. 1t acts
directly upon the secretions, cleanses and purines

ers who had been given up by the best physicians
as hopeless cases, Ill speak for themselves. and

1T Is SPREADING AMONG THE BITUMINoUs MINERS
TROUBLE IN THE TYRONE AND CLEARFIELD RE-
GIoN.
altoona, Pa, April IS.
The troubles in the Tyrone and Clearfield re-
gion have eliminated in a general strike of the
miners. On Tuesday they first struck, but the
difficulty WAS arranged, as the operators sup
posed. On Friday, however, they struck gener-
orally throughout the Clearfied section, not on
a dispute about wages, but to sustain the min
ers in the anthracite section. This trou-
Bile has been anticipated for some time, as the
miners Of the Penn and the Westmoreland Com
panes, the heaviest in the btuminous region,
have been on a strike for several weeks. II
looks as il the coal strike would become general,
unless the bituminous organization can be rev.
cred from the anthracite men, which appears to
be improbable.
These troubles will affect, no doubt, the sup
ply of bituminous coal to this city. Much OF
that which reaches Wilmington, over the W. Il
w. railroad from the Penna. road, comes from
the regions which are now disturbed ]

THE COUNTY

A LEDGER reporter was dispatched
with the committee of justices that went
to the County Poor-House Saturday, and
the result of his work, which appears TO-
day, is what Horace Greeley, if alive,
would call mighty interesting reading"
There is no whitewash in this report; it
is plain, unvarnished fact that the a
agement of that institution is not what
it should be. We do not accept the
mere denial Of an individual arraigned
at the bar Of public opinion as a "vindi-
cation" If that rule obtained every
defendant in our criminal courts would
be indicated and all forms of trial a
farce. This is the second time that a
disgusting scandal has reached the pub
lie ear from the Poor-House. The first
time it was partially suppressed, a com
mittee appointed to investigate saw fit
not to report, but the management was
somewhat changed and all was supposed
to be lovely, until the recent exposure.
The temptations which pervade the air
OF the Poor House seem to be all po-
tent. This last scandal overshadows the
former, and in this respect the other
managers and bosses of the institution
no doubt begin to feel indicated. The
verbatim testimony of inmates taken by
our reporter will reach the people and
they can judge for themselves. What
ever denial the Superintendent may
make, it is plain enough that he has
neglected St. PauIs admonition to
avoid the appearance Of evil" Henry
Ward Beecher claims that he meant no
harm by kissing Elizabeth Tilton, but as
she was sweet and gushing and he in
dulged in this luxury only when her hus-
band was absent, and he was known to be
Of a strong emotional and passional
nature, people will draw their con-
illusions. There are many difficulties
and aunoyances in the way of those who
have charge Of paupers and lunatics, but
no one is ct for such a responsible
charge unless he has perfect self.control.
Imposters will work their way into such
places as we'll as all manner of misera-
BILE ~outcasts. Some are the victims Of
self.indulgence; others have been kicked
and cuffed about until there is little life,
spirit or hope left in them. The man
who takes advantage of such as these to
crafty his own bad passions deserves the
execration Of mankind. One thing is
well established: the superintendent has
but little control over the inmates of the
poor house, whether guilty as charged or
not his usefulness in that capacity is at
ap end, and his resignation is clearly in
order. The Partially he has shown q
buxon girl however well intended, has
given rise to a scandal that no act Of his
bat resignation can abate. But in the
mean time the Poor House Commits
sioners should suspend him until the
whole matter can be laid before the
County Court.
