A FAMILY BLESSING.

Under date Of May 10, 1888, we have received the
following information from Mr.. LORENZO LOMBARD

says: "For several years past have been troubled
with severe backache and pains in the side, and
when would lie down could not rest well, as it
seemed impossible for to get into an easy posi-
tion; and my aches and pains increased constantly
TO such an extent that became convinced that
had disease Of the kidneys fastened to me- and af-
ter having used doctors prescriptions and many of
the so called cures without getting any benefit, 1
was persuaded by near neighbor, Mr. Jones, to
try Hunts Remedy, as himsef and wife had been
greatly benefited by its uses and many other Of our
acguaintances spoke Of its merits in the highest
terms. decided to try it, and purchased bottle
at Nichols drug siere, and as as had taken
few doses of it the pains in my back we're relieved,
and after taking three bottles my adeache and lame
back are cured, and can truly testify that Hunts
Remedy is an article of great merit and will do all
that is claimed for it, and / know of many other
people in Portland who have found cure in Hunts
Remedy after all others failed to do any good and

The Sun means by rascals all who are in

If Mr. Tilden's sore head deserved TO be
made an issue in national politics, the time
to have done il was in 1880, while the head
was still sore. TO finch from the issue then,
and to present the head when its sores have
been Tor should be- replaced by scars, con-
victs the party either of cowardice or insin-
cerity. In veteran wire-puller, and
perfect type of the foxy politician who has
reduced party management to science, this
affectation of a coyness that waits to be
called, and virtue that only duty can In
duce 10 yield, would be amusing, if II were
not disgusting. There is not man in the

The death rate in the principal peniten-
tiaries of the country furnishes a notable
feature in the semi-annual report of DR..
Gill, of the Southern Illinois penitentiary;
the variations in the different institutions
being almost incredible. Thus, among
New York prisons, while at Sing Sing the
yearly deaths from 1000 inmates number a
tri1e less than 7, at Auburn n is given as
II, and at Clinton over 20. The lowest rate
named is 3. in Wisconsin, and the highest
II, in Mississippi. The practice of 'let-
ting" convicts for work Oh mines and rail-
roads is declared to cause fearful death
rates in several Southern States, and, on the
other hand the New Hampshire figure is 4S.
The rate in Massachusetts is given as Is, in
Maine the same, in Vermont %, and in Con-
nectIcut Is. Pennsylvania has in the
Western and IA in the Eastern District.

Political Fact and Chat.

The movement for Democratic -Republi-
can fusion in Mississippi has failed
Senator Thomas V. Cooper has been elect
ed Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee of Pennsylvania.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem. believes
that there will not be much campaigning
done by the politicians in Ohio until the lat
ter part of August or the first of September.
1t therefore advises camness on the part of
the weekly press, and saving of ammuni-
tion for the fall campaign.
Ex-Gov. Hoyt of Pennsylvania has caused
some uneasiness in the Republican ranks in
that State by not denying the report that he
is to join the Democracy. Argus.
Not at all. The report was Democratic
canard which worried nobody who knew
Ex-Gov. Hoyt. But to battle the Democrat
ic motive he did deny the report several days
ago, and moreover he bore this emphatic
testimony to his satisfaction with the action
of the Pennsylvania Republicans:
The Convention was free from manage
ment," or what may be called boss control.
There are no indications that anybody ma
nipulated delegates, except according to the
fair demands of the situation. There was
nothing sset up nor is there any present
reason why all Republicans should not sup
port the ticket If there should be any out
crop of old tendencies or any attempt to re-
vive the old schemes Of managing the
leaders of such a movement would find
themselves promptly repudiated. The can
didates are admirable and unexceptionable.
The platform | regard as admirable with the
exception of the proposition for the distribu-
tion of the surplus money in the Treasury; l
do not think there ought to be redundant

Mr.. B. F. Wright, of Charles City, Iowa,
leader in the prohibition cause, says of the
political outlook in that State: 81 believe the
Republican ticket will be successful for this
reason-that 10000 more votes were cast for
the amendment than against it, and that out
of this 10000 votes 80 per cent. came from
he Republican party, Is per cent. from the
Democratic party, while so per cent. of the
Greenback vote cast was for the amend
ment. / claim that this same 50 per cent
will be now east solid for the Republican
ticket; that the large share OF prohibition
Democrats and Greenbackers who will
vote for prohibition this time will more than
offset the disaffected license Republicans,
and that whenever thousands of Ii
censed men are compelled to choose
between prohibition and free whis-
key, they will do as Douglass did
In 1851, when he said he would Support the
cornfields of Illinois in preference to the
ricefields of Georgia, and will give their
votes solid for prohibition. claim also
that many Republicans will be SHIELD to the
ticket by party interests in view OF the ap
preaching Presidential election"

A wOMAN's AFFAIR.

MRS. n. II, SMALL, the wife Of the popular depN
ty sheriff and assessor of Topsham Me- writes us
on May 10, 1888: "Ihat she had been severely
afflicted during several years with kidney and liver
disease, accompanied with severe pains and back
ache. Having tried many so called cures, and med.
icnes and doctors prescriptions, without receiving
any benefit and while seeking for cure she notic-
ed the advertisement of Hunts Remedy and decid-
ed to try 1t. Having bought bottle at Mr.. John
sons drug store, commenced using it with such fat
terng results that she continued its use and after
using only five bottles the improvement in her
health is so marked that she wishes all who are
afflicted in like manner to know of this most valua
BILE and reliable medicine; and she most cheerfuly
recommends Hunts Remedy to all, and especially
to females who are troubled with the complaints
peculiar to he sex.

The Strike.

The strike of the telegraph operators was
made yesterday. At II o'clock, Washington
time, in all the chief cities of the country
they left their instruments and their work.
Here in Portland all the regular operators
withdrew, leaving the Office to the manager
and his assistant. Dispatches were for
warded and received during the rest of the
day as rapidly as the force available could
do the work. Those who brought messages
to the office were told that they would be
forwarded 10 Boston with no great delay,
but with regard to points beyond no prom
ises could be made. OF course the incon-
yenience and blockade of business is great
est where there is the most to be done. The
newspapers will show the effects of the strike
in the meagerness of the news by telegraphin in
their issues, but the mails will enable them
to catch up very soon.
The most vexatious results of the strike
VIII De the disarrangement of the business
which is so largely done by telegraph, the alb
sence of Information upon which lransac-
tions san be safely based, and the difficulty
OF communication. not only between differ
ent markets, but between merchants and
customers. The messages of friendship and
duty fare no better than others and in num-
oerless ways this stoppage or partial stop
page of the accustomed channels of COM
munication affects the interest and the
pleasure of the people at large. 1t will oc-
casion anxieties, distresses and losses which
must be borne because they cannot be avoid
ed.
OF course the operators took all these
things into account before they came to
their resolution. They counted on the
grievances TO the public which were certain
to result to instigate and stimulate public
sentiment against their employers that
would compel them to yield rather than
incur the odium of inability to transact the
business of the people. Primarily the OBJ
ject is TO establish condition under which
the employers will lose more money than
by consenting to the demands of the opera
tors, or,in other words,to prevent their earn
ing any money at all until they consent to
pay the employees larger wages 1t is last
and desperate resort to force compliance
with terms which they have determined on
their part are reasonable and just, but which
their employers for reasons of their own dis
pute and refuse.
But the operatives are well aware that
they cannot interfere with a business so
closely affecting the concerns of the great
public without creating sentiment for or
against their purpose. They rely on public
opinion to come to their aid by patiently en-
during the Inconvenience caused by their
refusal to work, and thus in a sense con-
spring with them to make the telegraph
companies losers in the strife. There is
large degree Of sympathy with the operatives
in the step they have taken. That the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company as at pres
ent managed is virtually monopoly nobody
who knows anything about it cares to ques-
tion. That it reduces the wages of its SER
wants to the lowest point, most persons are
iv to take for granted, and no one will
if the higher rates demanded are:

long -otest. The public wants
service az Ia right to expect service, and
it will not have long forbearance with what
ever stands in the way. Few people know
or care about the merits of the question at
issue, and few will be content to make sac
rifices on account of either party to the
trouble. Most persons regard the matter of
compensation of employees as a question
between the two parties to the bargain with
which it is not their business to interfere,
and they wish to have it settled without in
reference with them. They are willing to
extend sympathy, but it cannot be expected
they will extend much besides The motive
of interest will control their action and their
sympathies too after little while.
We do not anticipate that the strike will
last long. Some settlement will be arrived
