CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTICE

TAKE NOI1CE
Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor of DR.. Schenck's Pumonic Syrup, as cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretensiOns of any other
medicine. See DR.. Schencks Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons of the highest
spectablity, who have been restored to health, sf
ter being pronounced incurable by physicians
of acknowledged ability. Sehencks Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences
will show; but the cure il often promoted by the
employment of two other remedies which D..
Scheack provides for the purpose. These addi-
| tional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these medi-
cines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck certi-
ies that most any case OF Consumption may be
cured.
Dr. schenck is professionally at his principal Of
! fee corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia

England and the Turkish Complications

England and the Turkish Complications.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-Lord Derby, in his
speech on the Queens address, declared
that England's policy had been to press
the recommendations of the conference
upon the Porte, but not to use or sanction
the use of force, and at the same time not
to undertake to protect Turkey from force
used by tie powers. With regard to the
Cars assurances, though he believed in
the Cars sincerity, still even the Gar
might he compelled to act against his per-
sonal wishes.
The duke Of Argyle declared his belief
that the government policy of never fore
ing Turkey to comply with their wishes
would end in disastrous war.

THE PLUSDERERs. - Nearly every
body that witnessed the destruction on
Sunday afternoon can recite some in
teresting incident Of the wholesale
plundering done on that occasion. A
man who had stolen several hundred
pounds Of white lead. with the aid Of "A
wheelbarrow, succeeded by hard labor
in getting his heavy load up Washing
ton and Wy lie streets TO Fulton, where
he was unfortunately met by a police
man. Sweating aud staggering beneath
the Tremendous physical strain, he
cursed and swOre when the officer made
him wheel his slunder 10 the Central
Station where he was locked up. A lit
tie girl about twelve years of age, toll
ed mp the hill above Twenty-eighth
street with three webs Of muslin. They
were more than she could manage with
ease, and for every ten steps she took
forward she would fall back six. But
never once did she lose her grip on the
muslin, to which she clupg with un-
abating tsnacity. Her persistence was
eventually rewarded, for she finally
reached the top of the hill and then
soon had the muslin safe at home. Two
Irish women were groaning beneath
the task Of propelliDg along Liberty
street two barrels of what they suppos-
ed to be -four. They stopped to rest,
when one of them said to her compan-
ion. well, Mary Ann, what's the
kind Of flour We think We have?" Path
aud dunno, said Mary Ann, but l
believe it's White River" One can
immagine how they tore their hair
when they found, upon getting their
plunder home, that it was nothing
more than white lime, worth about

The only excuse offered for the re-
cent labor strikes and the resulting
bloodshed aud devastation is that the
wages OF some OF the men have been
cut down below living rate. IL this
were true, yet where other men see fit
20 accept these wages, the companies
have o right 90 employ them without
interference. It would bring ruin up
on every business in the land II outside
parties could dictate terms between
employer and employed. Vhe right OF
a man his own bargains is clear and
indisputable as any human right. Yet
the recent trouble grew out Of an ef-
fort to crush that right aud 10 rife as
much Of an employers means as ont
side parties thought be ought 10 part
with. The New York Tribune shows
by definite statistics that while the
principal railroads are carrying freight
between the east aud west for less than
half the rates they received in 1850.
they are paying wages 30 per cent
higher, and up TO the time OF the last
reduction they we're paying wages 30
per cent higher than 10 1860. This Is
TO engineers aud flremen, tho class
who have raised Cain. The prices
in the market OF over co articles, in
cluding almost every kind Of provi.
sions, fuel, and clothing, are only Z
per cent higher now than in 1850, so
That with economy the average man
can live better now on the decreased
pay. The fact that more men seek en-
ployment ON railroads and in manufac-
tones than can get places ~ proof
enough that the average wages are
higher. or the advantages superior, 10
those in other callings.
