A REMARKABLE REsuLT.-It makes
no difference how many Physicians,
or how much medicine you have
tried, it is now an established fact
that German Syrup is the only rem
edy which has given complete salts
faction in severe cases of Lung Dis
eases. 1t is true that there are yet
thousands of persons prcdisposed to
Throat and Lung Affections, Con-
sumption, Hemorrhages, Asthma,
Severe Colds settled on the Breast,
Pneumonia, Whooping Cough, &C.,
who have no personal knowledge of
Boschee's German Syrup. To such
we would say that $4,000 dozen were
sold last year without one complaint.
Consumptives try just one bottle

and By so doing, place men in authority
who will represent the interests Of the
whole people, instead Of thatof class OF
individuals.
9. Therefore, we cordially invite the in.
dustrial classes, whether mechanical, agri.
cultural or commercial, who are alike SUI.
fering from vicious legislation, 10 cooper.
ate with US for the enforcement Of the fol.
lowing principles.
3. And be It further resolved, That as
laboring men, We ignore pdry, and meet ON
u common platform, for the common good,
and laying aside our old party prejudices,
we viii concentrate our efforts, until blind
justice, with scales equally poised and
sword upliited, shall stand In high places,
the arbriter OF the peoples rights.
1. And II Is further resolved that we are
In favor OF wise and judicious, system OF
legislation, in enacting, and enforcing,
such laws rs will bear equally upon capital
and labor, holding in check those grasping
mOnopOlies which are crushing the life out
OF the toiling masses, and sapping the very
foundations Of our free institutions
5. That We are in favor oil abOlishing the
existing " Sass system nj County Courts,
extending the jurisdiction Of Justices, and
increasing the number Of terms OF the Cir
cult Court.
.. That we are in favor OF abOlishing the
present system OF collecting taxes by tho
Sheritis, md instead thereof have a County
treasury, where taxpayers may pay their
taxes in semi-annual installments, and
thereby save to the people thousands Of
dollars. sH
I. That we are in favor Of placing our
public school system beyond the reach OF
party manipulation, and designing politi-
clans.
8. That we favor an annual appropria.
ton by Congress to aid worthy citizens to
settle on the vacant lands Of the West, in.
stead OF giving them to monopolies. That
this be done by loan OF money at low
rate Of interest, and so secured that its re-
payment will be sure. Not another acre
for Railroads or Spectators,
9. That we favor strict laws compelling
employers to provide all well known safety
appliances for the protection Of those in
their employ.
10. That we are in favor Of calling the at
tention Of our State Legislature to the ne
Cessity OF enaCting n law regulating the
weighing, measuring and screening OF coal,
and making any infraction OF said law
criminal offence.

Byron collars and square cuffs are
the thing for little boys,
Checked hose in dark shades are
among the new importations.
Black parasols, lined with white

The kilt skirt is especially appro.
pirate for young girls just in their
teens.
Many handsome silk costumes are
made with yokes and SHRED waists.
In the fashionable world of London
afternoon dances are "all the rage"
Train supporters are now neces.
sary when long skirts are worn out
of doors.
Blouse waists for small boys are
pleated in front and gathered i'll the
back.
A pretty straw hat for misses is the
Derby shape, with rolled brim and
square crown.
When low shoes are worn out Of

CURE FOR PESTS. -To those whoare
troubled with those pests that arc
the horror of all housekeepers-bed
bugs, we give the following remedy,
which an exchange assures the pub
lie is both speedy and cfiicacious:
Wash the room and furniture with
salt water, filling the cracks with
salt. When this is done, you may
look in vain for the bugs. Salt seems
to be inimical to them and they will
not go through it. 1t is preferable
to all oinments, and you can always
assure yourself you have the genuine
article.
