TEE labor agitation in France and England
increases. In England 10000 looms are idle
and there is a prospect that IN short time all
the mills will stop. The mining troubles in
Yorkshire are menacing and, if at the conference
this week, an adjustment of wages is not agreed
upon all the miners will stop work. In the
north of France other iron manufacturers are
endeavoring to reduce wages and many work
men have thrown up their situations and many
furnaces have blown out.

The real vampire of the west is the
saloon keeper, and the good people
there are this year engaged in clipping
his wings with the shears of prOhibi

gular one, and is due in part to the in
creaSing prominence of women in po-
litIcal action for almost every woman

sharper this year than ever before. and
also more general, and every where eX-
ccpt in Ohio it seems To he helping the
republicans. Perhaps Wisconsin ought
to bc excepted also. where the repub-
Leans have, rs a party, rather taken
sides against prohibition, and where
the temperance people are sharp
against the republicans. In Iowa, Kan

The Spark and the Fire.

Not a few of the misunderstanding
and quarrels that embitter families
against each other, and even destroy
the peace of neighborhoods, are the re-
suits of matters of but little cOnse-
quence. An unneighborly deed, an
intentional or fancied slight, a single
impertinent word or act, refusal to
grant a small favor, etc. etc.-these.
and many like them, have been like
sparks dropped on a fuse that, sooner
or later, have produced an explosion.
First there was a little smOuldering
resentment that, as time went on,
broke out into the tizZ and splutter of
wordy invectives; then manifestations
of growing intensity, and at last, a
rush. as it were. into flame, and an eX-
plosion that startled the community.

Prohibition Of the Traffic.

Ii il admitted on all hands that some
sort of governmental supervision and
control of the liquor traffic is necessary.
Liquor dealers express themselves as
decidedly in favor of license system.
quite forgetting the argument often
used, that more liquor is sold under
the prohihitory than under the license
law. But the licensing of Intoxicating
liquors carries with ii greater peril
than their unrestricted sale, because
while the license practically puts no
bar upon the buyer. and thus makes it
Just rs easy to obtain and use intoXi-
eating liquors as if their sale were free
20 everybody, il does weaken the force
of the great moral restraint which
ought to control the seller; it does en-
courage him in his business with the
nominal support of the community,
and. worse than all, it perverts and
blinds the moral vision of the cOmmu-
nifty itself. If the sale of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage, licensed or unli-
ccnscd. tends toward the intemper-
ancc, the impoverishment, the vice and
the crime of the community that
it does have this influence is so plain
that 1t no longer needs proof with in

scarcely cease to revolve before the
brave fellow leaps from the cab, throws
his arm round his mothers neck and
imprints a kiss upon her lips, and after
a few words of greeting turns to oil his

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgativeS for family use. They
are the product of long. laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild. searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest phySic to employ
for children and weakened ConStitu-
tions, where a mild but efIectual
cathartic is required.
