is given by using BRowN's
IRON BITTERs. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warns the system; in the
Spring it enriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestive organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
SO surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per-
feet condition. Browns
IRON BITTERs ensures per-
feet health through the
changing seasons, it disarms
the danger from impure

ways increased the desirablcness Of
this excellent substitute for solid silver.
Not only has great durability been
obtained by the new methods. but
pattern and finish, which formerly
betrayed the difference between it and
silver, now give no clue bywhich even
an expert can distinguish.
Clumsiness of shape has given way
to the lightest and most artistic forms,
and the production of a meritorious
pattern in the solid metal is quickly
followed by its appearance in the less
costly material.
Even such elaborate decorations as
repousse and hammered work-long
confined to solid silver-are success
fully produced in plated ware with a
delicacy and beauty leaving little TO
be desired in respect of appearance,
1t is, however, only in the higher
grade of electroplated ware that these
excellencies of the designer are at
tempted to be wrought out. such per-
fection of workmanship and dainty
finish being impossible in the inferior
varieties, in addition to the vital def

Among the many dangers incident to
railway travelling, smallpox now
seems to be in for prominence. Not
long since passenger on an eastern
bound train was found, ON arrival at
Hornellsville, N. Y, to be suffering
from the disease. The patient died,
and so did brakeman who took coal
and water into the car after all the
other occupants had fed. A female
fellow passenger put a shawl which she
had been wearing, hastily into hand
bag. She visited son in Hector
township. Thirty-two days afterward
the son died of the disease. It was
thought by physieians to he acute
erysipelas, and over one hundred
neighhors and friends visited the
patient, many of whom contracted the
disease and now many townships are
under quarantine. In Baltimore there
has been over 5000 cases of this terri
bic disease during the past four weeks
with deaths ranging from II to 80 pei
week.

The CAY Charter Amen d monss

The city charter has been thoroughly
codiied aud revised, with some nreded
amendments iuterpoiated aud will he
presented TO the CRY Council probaO =
fact that the work was done by az City
Solicitor John G. Patterson, ESQ a
Republican, aud the present City Soil
citor, Henry {. Turner, Esq, Demo
crat, should be a sufficient guarantee
that IL is as tree from partisan biss as 1t
possibly can be. OAe OF the important
recommendations in tho charter Is tina I
relating 10 the police force. II recon-
mends that the police force shall remain
as II is appointed by and under the con
troll Of the Mayor, but it turtser recon-
mends That the salaries Of the police be
increased and that all costs or perqui
-iras which have heretofore made pa.tof
a pOllccmuus 81 airy be paid unto thu
city Treasury, L is also required that
Il e policeman Is to possess 4 certain de-
read and write; that he shall avoid a. I
liquor saloons except VIXEN duty calls
him to x into them - 4u"li disturb-
ancs or make arrest, and liz Is also to
keep out Of politics, but not TO be dobar
red from voting A good citizens who
desire good and efficient city govern
mruI vii! give hearty ap, rOval TO all
these recommendations. If taey are
adopted and incorporated into the city
charter, police reform will be reached
il a more Effective m easure than by a
police commission.
Another important recommendation
is to givethe City Council tho Al hority
TO divide he wards into small voting
precincts. II IL reasonably presu med
that the City Council know. near-r
here and how such divisions should
be made than the Leglsa Azure does AMI
| d regard to the necessity Of such Gi.
vision there should be but one opinion.
A unanimous adoption Of thssr recon-
mendatlons by the City Council would
| 70 far towards creating confidence IL

WILL bnOrLiy DO iHtlouuOo" A "
Legislature, has more Of AL object IN
providing places at fat saIries at Tue
expense of the tax payers OF the city
for antlquated and decayed politicians
than in the good government OF tine
city. Wa are credibIy informed that
instead of a salary OF s5oo each,
as We supposed in an editorial
yesterday being provided for the com
missioners, the bill really ccntemplates
a salary Of 1900 each. making AL al
ditional tax cfs3,6oo, that will have to
90 levied and collected from the tax
payers. If these advocates for police
commission really had the good govern
ment of the city at heart, they would
not have been 30 mindful OF themselves
in providing for themselves lat salaries.
The fact that the extortiOIate salaries
are provided for them is direct evidence
at once that the advocates Of the change
are not sincere in their profession OF q
desire for municipal police reform. 1t
such reform was badly needed, the
more substantial citizens, who would
be willing to serve as commissioners At
merely a nominal salary woul come to
the aid of the bill. The duties of
the Office would not be- necessarily
onerous, but the politicians who have
the matter in hand, will make them 30,
il possible, to give pretence Of justiti'
cation for drawing large salaries. II the
advoca.es of the com mission are really
arxlous for reiorm--it they are grieved
1T the lawlessness existinE-if the i'm
moral y and crime which flow from the
traffic in iItJxlcaJipg liquors, and the
laws made to suppress these crimes
are not enforced, let them like true
philanthropists and men that love good
order better than big salaries, offer to
serve the city, like the members
of the Board of Education,
gratuitously. We do not mean that
city ofticia s shall work for nothing al
ways, but it. does seem reasonable W us
that those who are 30 anxious to make
such radical police change should
be willing to give their services gratui.
tously at first, Tor the sake OF giving II
a fair trial. IT they do this, anu give
the city more quiet, peaceabIe and |
better government than 1t had before,
The people vii. appreciate the sell sacrl-
ice, and Will see that the Iacorer is
paid for Al' services.
But Candidiy, what are tie facts IN
The case OF the proposed change Let
rs lool. at it as II Is, and let US consider
The causes and Objects tor SUCH a
change For nearly ten years the city
lad been under Democratic Mayor
and, of course under a Democratic pO-
lice. Through maDlpu,atluDs Of the
votes of Republicans by Democratic
Assessors, colleC ors and Levy Courts,
the Democrats once installed IN power,
kent themselves IN power, and it was
only through the unpopuIarty of the
la:e Democratic Mavgr'. police, that a
chanpe was effected. Nobody pre,ends
that the present notice force ia less eff
cisot and less moral Than ii . old force
and it il An ack nowledged fact that the
c;tv ia mora unirt and nrdarlv and citi
