Almost every day the papers chronicle the
suicide of some poor unfortunate whose mind
has been enfeebled by dyspepsia, over whose
earthly horizon a heavy gloom has gathered
from the untold and unreliable agonies of this
cruel complaint. Dyspepsia is one of the most
depressing diseases affiicting humanity. 1t is
cosmopolitan in its nature-no country is ex-
empt from its visitations, no family free from
its attacks. There is a balm in Gilead; it comes
in the shape of the PERUVIAN SYRUP. For
years it has been scattering its blessings
abroad. There is, probably, no disease which
experience has so amply proven to be remedi-
able by the PERUVIAN SYRUP as dyspepsia
The most inveterate forms of this disease have
been completely cured by this medicine, as
ample testimony of many Of our first citizens
proves. Sold by all druggists.

The New York Herald, speaking edi-
torially upon the riots, says: awe re-
peat our warning to honest and respect
able working men. not to let their SYM
pathies go out to wrong doers. Men
who are blockading roads, burning cars,
attacking troops, breaking open and
sacking shops, throwing stones into
moving trains, are not strikers; they are
rioters. 1t is not a strike, but an insur-
rection without a hope of success. 1t
may still further cripple railroad COM
panies and disable them from paying
fair wages. 1t may put the public to
great inconvenience, loss and expense,
but it will be crushed out, and when
the end comes, after all the disgrace
such anarchy brings upon the country
and upon the working man, what good
will have been accomplished ?"

AN AFFIRMATIVE ANSWER LOOKED
FOR.

As will be seen by our Colorado let
ter, the suffragists in that State are qui-
etly and, as we doubt not the sequel will
prove, effectively carrying on the cam
paign that shall decide whether sex or
intelligence will form the base of suf-
frage there hereafter. Though the State
abOunds in enthusiastic workers, there
has been no display of unseemly zeal
on the part of suffrage advocates, their
object being to appeal to the reason and
reach the understanding of the men
who are to decide upon the question this
fall.
The help that is promised them from
abroad, together with the judicious Sc
lection and general circulation of cam
paign papers, tracts, etc., will afford
ample means for enlightenment upon
the subject, and if patient hearing is
granted to speakers, and a careful Pc
rusal given to the papers and pamphlets
furnished, men will have no excuse for
voting may" The demand is 30 just,
so simple, so plain, that to state the
propositions is sufficient, and an eluci-
dation of them seems entirely superf1u-
Gus.
We are sure that if the men of Colo
RADIO will leave their prejudices at home
and allow cool and candid judgment
full sway while Susan B. Anthony tells
them why they should vote "Yes," that
a magnificent affirmative majority will
be rolled up.
Men are unjust TO women in property
laws, in financial matters, in political
and social affairs, not because they de.
sire to be, but because they are taught
to be so. Show them once that the
sphere of woman should be alone cir.
cumscribed by her capacity and bel
knowledge; that it is unjust to base hel
political status upon the accident of hel
sex; to say to her, "This is yo1r place
that is mine" without regard to her in
telligence, her choice of occupation, ol
her ability, and they will not be slow tC
acknowledge the fact and abjure the in
justice.
Women do not expect the ballot tt
act as panacea for all ills; they do no
sue for it as favor or privilege which
their brethren have right to withhold
from them, but they do think that j
this potent thing is necessary to protec
the interests of working men, and il
theirs by right as an emblem of thei
freedom, that it is just as necessary t,
protect the interests of working women
and is theirs by right equally inheren
and sacred.
Men of Colorado, is not this true
Your affirmative response is anxiousl!
looked for at the ballot-box in October
not only by the women who share you
homes, divide your sorrows, enhanc
your joys, are gratified at your sue
cesses, and sympathize with your fail
ures, but by thousands of women il
other portions of the nation, who fee
that you are weighing their liberties il
the balance, and tremble lest you b
found wanting.

THE RAILWAY STRIKE.

A strike of railroad employees was be-
gun last week on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, which has since spread
rapidly over the various lines of travel,
and caused riots, pillage, and murder,
the like of which has never before been
known in the United States. The
prime cause of the strike was a recent
10 per cent. reduction in wages.
All the passengers and freight trains
on the Erie railroad were abandoned on
the 22d.
Seventy rioters were arrested at Buff
falo on the 22d and sent to Utica, New
York.
Out of sixty rioters arrested in Balti-
more on the 2lst, not one was railroad
man.
The freight depot and general offices
of the Cincinnati and st. Louis railroad
were burned by mob, and $4,000, 600
worth of property destroyed.
Many large manufacturing establish
ments have been forced TO close for lack
of transportation.
All conductors and engineers on Long
Island railroad receiving 500 Iay
monthly are notified of reduction OF
10 per cent. after the 1st of August.

Raouf Pasha defeated the Russians on
Friday, inflieting loss of 5000 men.
A detachment of Greek volunteers
passed the Turkish frontier on the goth.
The third pontoon bridge over the
Danube has been constructed at Kahova.
Osman Pasha reports having defeated
the Russians near Plevna, after two
days fighting.
The new Notifications at Adrianople
have been completed, and will be armed
within a week.
Only two thousand Turks were cap
tured at NikOpolis. The remainder were
killed, wounded, or escaped.
Hobart Pasha has been ordered to
lombard all places of Importance on the
Russian coast of the Black Sea.
Families are preparing to leave Con-
stantinople from fear of the vanquished
army of irregulars retreating before the
Russian army.
Grand Duke Nicholas has invited all
foreign military attaches to personally
inspect the places which have been
named as scenes of Russian atrocities.
The IT'i6une'S London special says
the formidable character of the Russian
advance across the Balkans was realized
on the 22d, when it was learned that
10000 men bad gone through Hainkai
pass, and that artillery is on the way.
A correspondent telegraphs it will be
difficult to restrain the Cretans and
Thessalians any longer. The prestige of
Turkey is completely destroyed by her
failure to guard the Danube and Bal
kans. The misfortune is that Greece is
not ready.
Hassan Pasha, commandant at Niko-
polls, who is a prisoner, had an inter-
view with the Car on Tuesday. He
said when he capitulated his ammuni-
tion was all gone, and he had been
obliged to kill three or four soldiers
with his own hand for leaving theirduty.
The Times special from ShumIa says
whatever justification there may be as
to reprisals, there is no doubt that the
Cossacks, Bulgarians, and Russian
troops are committing the most fearful
atrocities on helpless musselmen, nom
combatants and fugitives. Men, women
and children are alike subject to their
cruelty.
During the last twenty-one days the
bombardment of Kars by the Russians
has been continued. An average of
1000 shells per day have been thrown
into the town, but many of them have
failed to explode. The Turks fired 49,
600 shells during the same time. They
have a sufficient supply of ammunition
for 125 days, including stack of shells,
which may be exploded at the rate of
500 each day. Mukhtar Pasha is re-
victualing the garrison and laying in
additional stores of ammunition, so that
no force the Russians could possibly
bring against it could reduce Kars in
any event in shorter period than II
months.

THE INDIAN WAR,

News from "the front" is neither
startling nor particularly interesting.
Joseph seems to have outgeneraled
General Howard, and has escaped to
the Bitter Root country with most of
his braves. A dispatch from Howard
was received at the military headquar-
ters in Walla Walla, under date of July
23d, to the effect that he is waiting the
arrival of Colonel Green's cavalry from
Boise. He will then assume command
of the cavalry in person, and take the
Lolo trail in pursuit of Joseph. He will
also send force of infantry through the
Spokane country to overawe by their
numbers any Indians who may be in
clined to engage in hostilities.

mayors of cities, reciting that threats
have been made against their property
by evil-disposed persons, and that they

The President does not regard the
present disorders as evidence of the
prevalence of the spirit of communism,
since the attacks have not been directed
primarily against property in general,
but merely against that of railroads
with which the strikers had had diff
culties. He expresses the opinion that
the most vigorous measures should be
used in putting down the trouble.
The Columbia Typographical Union,
