When our most experienced and
practical physicians widely endorse
and recommend a medicine, knowing
from the Ingredients used it must
have an excellent general effect on the
human system, and be a true strength
ener of EVERY organ Of life, and recog-
nized as natures best assistant in
curing dyspepsia, Indigestion, general
debility, nervous prostration, want Of

chills and fever, dumb ague, female
diseases, broken-down constitutions,
i'll health, weakness, debility, imper-
feet action of the organs of life and
health, etc., all of which make life
miserable; then indeed should the
newspaper press of the country call

so m%eritorious a compound. W. refer

having the largest sale in the East Of
any medicine ever invented, simply
because it has the merit and gives

THERE is some talk of calling a
mass meeting to discuss the water
question. This has become a really
serious matter. and as the LEDGER
has been very conservative, we feel
that we can discuss it with the utmost
freedom and fairness. In the first
place, we are not prejudiced, but
as far as the conductors Of this paper
are concerned have q kindly personal
feeling toward the officers and stock
holders of the Water Works Company.
We have no earthly objection TO their
personal success and profit, provided
that it is consistent with the public
welfare. So much on that score Now
we propose to say q word for the peo-
ple-those who are compelled to pat.
TOnizesa Wealthy corporation which is
50 bent on speculation, 90 filling its
Golfers and growing rich upon com
nor necessities, that it seems to for
get its obligations to humanity. Here
We have been dragging along for over
q year without the water promised
and paid for. This has not only put
the people to great inconvenience and
discomfort, but has endangered their
lives and caused them great anxiety
and dread, which in the ordinary af-
fairs Of life you'd justify a suit for
damages. That the company is
adroiny managed no one can doubt.
1t is cold as the bloodless sinews o
charity. Taking advantage of public
apathy and confidence, it has DELHI
erately collected money without ex.
pecting to give an immediate benefit
in return. About the first of July,
when the long heated term began, the
shrewd men at the head of that con
cern clearly foresaw that they could
not supply the people with suf-
eient water until late in
the fall, if before Christmas,
and an imperative order was issued
to consumers to pay up six months in
advance or be treated as though they
had ordered the water stopped. The
people paid up generally under the
belief that they would have a reason
able supply Of water. Their prompt
ness seemed only to hasten the
decrease until perhaps half the city
has little or no water at all. The
greater part Of South Memphis is so
dry that it is a mockefy to the parched
threats Of prattling children to speak
of water Up in town the business
mel feel the inconvenience very keen
ly. Many houses have to buy water
from carts after having paid the Water
Company for a full supply. The peo-
pie should act at once in this matter.
Public sentiment is all powerful, and
the time has come when it shonld be
expressed. We were promised a full
Of water months ago. That
was a promise made either in igno-
rance Or . deliberate intent to deceive,
neither n is oxcusabIe. Al
needing to take some definite
curse looking to the future Of Mem.
his seems now to be ia order.

The following from the Cincinnati
Commercial points out how and VIII,
mob law is so often resorted to b.
outraged communities. 1t is becaus,
of the tricks and delays whereby Grim
inals can escape:
That monstrous and murderous fool
Guiteau, is ia a most abject state o.
cowardice. He has no fear of the law
and the courts Of justice, but is ap-
%prehensiye that he may be slain by the
people.
The preposte rous wretch is Of the
opinion hal if he can be protected
from popular vengeance be can be-
come q great historical figure, in a
memorable trial, and not only appear
as a remarkable person, but enjoy the
favor Of the new administration and
the gratitude Of those who arc sub
stantially pleased with the change.
He demands" the pitiful coward,
that the guard be doubled, and
trembles at every sound. 1t might
not be a bad idea to send a few horn
blowers into the neighborhoOd of the
Jail and Brighten tho scouIdrel to
death. There is one thing settled
He must die, and that without need
Hess delay, If he is not hanged ac-
cording to the forms of law, he will be
torn in pieces.
The true and only way to protect
him from the people is to put a rope
about his neck legally. The authori-
ties should understand this. They
must push things, If they delay, and
daily and enmesh themselves In the
difficulties spun from the brains of
so-called lawyers, then they invite the
mob.
Thisis the thing that should be re-
membered by those who are very so.
licitous that the reputation of the
country shall not suffer from mob VIC.
lence, If we are incapable of the
execution of the laws without scandal
lous delays, aud if the greatest crimi-
nails car cheat justice through the
generalization that illustrates the i'm.
becility Of the courts, there are the
responsibility and the shame, and
Judge Lynch stands excused if not
justified.

EVERY YEAR"


BY ALBERT
The spring has less Of brightness
And the snow a ghastlier whiteness
Every year;
Nor do summers flowers quicken,
Nor autumn's fruitage thicken
As they once did, for we sioken
Every year.
1t is growing darker, colder,
Every year,
As the heart and soul grow older,
Every year.
/ care not now for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is less and less enhancing
Every year.
or the love and sorrow blended,
Every year;
Oftho joys of friendship ended,
Every year;
OF the ties that still might bind me
Until time 10 Death resigned me.
Ny inhrmities romind me
Every year.
OH how sad to look before me,
Every year,
While the clouds grew darker DER me,
EfcrF veSrt
Whsre we see tno blossoms faded
That to bloom We might have aided,
And immortal EArlahds braided,
Every year.
To the past 80 moro dead faces
Every year;
Come nc new one in their places,
Every year,
Everywhere the sad eyes meet Us,
In the evenings dusk they greet u.
And TO come 10 then entreat US
Every year.
''You are growing old" they tell US,
Every year"
"You are more alone.' thor tell US,
EVERY year"
''Y0u can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and dejeation
EVeryyear."
Thank God; no clouds are shifting,
Every rear.
Ger the land to which we're drifting
Every year.
No losses thers will griev0 us,
Nor loving faces leave us,
Nor death Of friends bereave US,
Every year.
