Card to the Pnhlic

For many years WIS have made two
medicines suited to the ailments OF vast
class of sufferers. Thousands of cures
have been made by them, and, In fact,
the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits OF our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous In their close i'm
itation of our Trade Mark. To secure
the people we have placed upon each
genuine box OF Holloway's Ointment
the fac smile of the signature of our
agent, Mr.. Jos. Haydock. TIC counter
felt is felony. We shall relentlcssly
pursue any one who initiates this with
the utmost vigor Of the law. We most
earnestly beg that the great mass of the
American people will aid ms In our efforts
to protect their health, and help as In
our task of bringing these most unprin-
cipled men TO the bar of justice. Uni
formly refuse to purchase Medicines
purporting to be ours unless Mr.. Jos.
Haydock's signature is attached 10 each
box of Pills or pot of Ointment, and the
end will soon be reached.

Women Voting in Utah.

The wife of ex-Secretary Black,
Mrs. Maxwell, Mrs. Ashman, Mrs.
Lloyd, Miss Genevie Hartwell, and
several Gentle ladies took an ac-
tive part in their respective pre-
cincts, and electioneered with the
polygamous wives of the saints.
They would argue the point in this
way. "Why, Mrs., I'm as
tonishedl How can you for a mo-
ment think of voting for Cannon?
He has four wives, and being a wo-
man, you know he cannot love them
all as he ought to. He is a brute |.
Take this ticket and vote for Bas-
kin, a man who does not believe in
degrading woman" The Gentle
ladies turned out in full force, voted
like men, and did all their work af
forwards. The votes of several Nor
mon women were challenged by Gen.
tile men, who did so with extreme
courtesy and timidity. The wo-
men are perfectly shocked, and
seemed afraid of swearing to their
voting qualifications. Two of the
wives of Bishop Woolley, were chal-
lenged, but they swore stoutly
enough to get their votes in.

The Importance of papers to the
village or county where published
cannot be estimated. The home
news is something that people can
not dispense with and which they
cannot buy elsewhere. An ex-
change thus fairly presents the
q uestion:
''For various reasons the larger
cities can send out their news at
quite as low prices. Families can
be furnished with knowledge of
all the world for two dollars a year
and postage. But there is some
thing they cannot buy in New Nork
or Nashville-local matter out of
which home interest and enterprise
grows; it is the local newspaper
which gets at the knowledge of par
ticular necessities, to the value of
individual persons and means. All
the Improvements begin in our
small centers-become important
forces by personal application, and
of public value by the fostering
care and attention of the local press.
Then the local press is such an in
dividual power as cannot he swung
into line to the help of selfish out
side purposes. A towns interests
are all closely interviewer with
those of these home organs of indi-
vidual expression and country en-
terprise. Persons that neglect these
for the large bids of city dailies are
like the housewife who neglects her
own fireside for the cares of other
people"

The Jescish Messenger very prop
erly complains that too much is ex-
pected of ministers nova days. 1t
says that once on time mother,
with a supplemented daughter OF
thirty five summers, once visited a
rabbi, and asked him if he would
perform the marriage service for the
above mentioned "child" without
compensation. In the goodness of
his heart the rabbi consented to
forego the usual fee. She then
turned confdentially and added
sWell, these two children are poor
and yet it is necessary at sucn times
to have new clothes and to give a
little party. Will you be SO good
as to advance q few hundred dollars
for these purposes and receive your
reward in heavenf" The security
was so very indefinite and the day
of payment so far off that the rabbi
bashfully declined making himself
happy in that way. The saddened
mother led her gray-haired child
out of the room with a feeling that
ministers are not all they should be
after all. The world is certainly q
cold place to live in and the clergy
are growing mercenary to decline
such invitations. m r-e'r-

Higher Aims in Journalism.

No one knows better than the
editors and proprietors of respecta-
BILE newspapers the injurious effect
upon journalism which reckless and
sensational editors have, recently
wrought. There is certain class
of newspapers which live by this
style OF defamatory writing. They
are utterly reckless in their state
ments, have no regard for private
character, no veneration for good
and holy things, and no respect for
exalted virtues and pure lives.
Whatever will produce a sensation
and sell papers they are ready and
anxious to publish. But the jour.
nails of this character are few. AS
rule, the newspapers of to-day
seek to be fair and honest, are con
scientiously conducted by men of
high character and good standing
in society, whose mission is to fair
ly and honestly chronicle s,lle cur
rent news of the day. and to intelli-
gently comment thereon. Unfortu
nately for respectable journalism,
the public sympathizes with and
demands the reckless and sensa-
tional style. Journals which make
it business from day to day to as
sail and traduce private character;
to conspicuously parade, with exag-
gerated head lines, all the criminal
acts of the dep-aved classes; to
gloat over murderers and assassina-
tons; to depict in seductive Ian
guage rapes, indecent assaults and
outrages of all kinds, are the jour
nails which circulate with the great
est freedom among the masses. The
public crave sensations and it is
greatly to the credit of the very
large number of respectable jour
nails that they preserve their dignity
and decency in the face Of the temp
tation of sure pecuniary rewards
which await them by adopting the
other course.-Minneopolis Tribune.

One would think it impossible to
be over-religious, and yet this may
sometimes be the case. We heard
once of dear old lady who had
two pianos, one FOR Italian airs and
the other for Moody and Sankey's
collection. The Sunday piano was
glum and dumb all the week, and,
like the Pharisees, thanked God
that it wasn't like other pianos, or
seven like this poor publican of an
instrument" It's a dreadful mis-
fortune to have religion which
you hang mp in a dark closet on
Sunday night as you do your black
suit, because you are not apt to take
either of them down again for a
week. Plain, every day religion is
the best, after all.
