writes, May 49, 1888, as follows: II have
been troubled for a number of years with
kidney disease, with severe pains in my back
and sides. and could get no relief until used
Hunts Remedy, which was recommended by
our druggist Ward, of this place, who stated
to me that many wonderful cures had been
made in this vicinity by the use of Hunts
Remedy. People who have suffered for years
with kidney disease, Inflammation of the
bladder, and accompanying troubles, had
been permanently cured by this great medi-
cine. Ipurchased a bottle of Hunt's Remedy
and found that it helped me from the first
dose, and two bottles removed all the painin
my back, and / consider myself cured, and
cheerfully recommend it to my friends as a
medicine that will DO all that is claimed forit,

Too Much Beer.

1t does not by any means follow
that because man is never intoxl-
Gated that he may not be drinking
too much. Men employed in the
great breweries in London, espe-
clally the draymen, consume an
enormous quantity of beer. The
daily allowance which their en-
pIoyers give them is a very large
one, but they rarely confne them
selves to that; and the draymen, in
addition get much gratuitously
from the customers to whom they
are always delivering the casks, so
that ten or fourteen quarts is no
exceptional consumption for one
man; yet they are not drunkards,
IN the ordinary sense of the term.
The very nature of their work ne
cessltates the employment Of none
but steady men, strength being also

Effects of Cleanliness.

With what care and attention do
the feathered race wash themselves,
and put their plumage in order
and how perfectly neat, clean, and
elegant do they appearl Among
the beasts of the field, we find that
those which are the most cleanly
are generally the most gay and
cheerful, or are distinguished by a
certain air of tranquility and con-
tentment, and singing birds are
always remarkable for the neatness
of their plumage, So great is the
effect of cleanliness upon man, that
it extends even to his moral char
acter. Virtue never dwelt long
with filth; nor do l believe there
ever was person scrupulously at
tentive to cleanliness who was con-
summate villain.-Colnt RuTJord.

Backbone and Honesty.

For the past two years the tenn
perance question has been an ele-
phant on the hands of Ohio Legis-
iatures. The recent shifting Of it
on the "dear people" is merely a
dodge to rest awhile and get a
drink. The truth of the matter is,
there is not enough backbone in
the Republican party to stand up
to the high position they had as
sumed on this question. Deacon
Smith fought we'll for awhile, but
the losing Of the German vote in
Cincinnati weakened his knees
little, and hunting a door of escape
he spied the Commercial sanctum,
and straightway we find the Ca
.ctte a mere caudle appendage to
the Commercial! But the condi-
ton of affairs in our State is no
better. Just call to mind the con-
tortions of the members of the
Legislature. See how they tried
to dodge voting on the proposed
Amendment Why all this? Let
man stand by his sincere convic-
tions, and vote his sentiments, or
those of his constituency, if
he knows their wishes. If one OPP
poses submitting the Amend
ment" to vote of the people, he
should be man enough to state the
facts to them prior to the election.
Every man has the liberty in these
United States of opposing or advo-
eating any alteration in the exist
ing constitution of his State. All
that we are contending for now is
that every candidate should be in
dependent enough to state clearly
to the voters whose suffrage. he
seeks, the exact position he holds,
and what he purposes to do If elect.
ed. 1t is supposed that in a Re
public majority rules. This doc
trine is emphatically democratic,
that is, expressive of govern
ment by the people.
In this country the people are
the proper ones to decide what
they want, the kind of laws that
will most conduce to their happi-
ness and that of their posterity.
If man does not wish to ex-
ecute the will Of has people then, in
all fairness to them, he should not
seek a seat in their State and Ma
tional councils. This position is
invulnerable.
We are an advocate Of true, in
dependent manhood, and the right
of the majority to rule. This
"rule" should constitute "the pow
ers that be-" and to it, for one, we
cheerfully submit. Such princi-
pie carried out would frae many a

THE "WOKIIDv
Business Relations of Mr.. Gould and
Mr.. Pulitzer.

WdSh1HYtOB SDecidt Sept. IL.
''There have been a good many insinua-
tiOns of late," said a New York gentleman
to-day, ''that the New York W0rld. though
ostensibly owned by Mr.. Pulitzer, was not
altogether out of the control of Mr.. Jaw
Gould. Insinuations and even open
charges of this kind have kept the editor
of the IVOrtd very busy and very angry,
as his editorial responses clearly indi-
cate. There has been a good deal of
vigOr shown in denying the rela-
tionshIp of the World to the great
monopOlist, and it was only
few days ago that the most emphatic de-
nial of all was published-one that was
evidently intended to settle the question
for all time, and to the end that nobody
beside Mr.. Pulitzer was the owner of the
World. 1t is within the knowledge of
few people, however, that this is not alto
gether true. Mr.. Jay Gould is almost as
much the owner of the IPOrid to-day as he
was before Mr.. Pulitzer came down like a
st. Louis wolfon the New York journalistic
fold. In fact, Mr.. Gould has so much to say
about certain obligations Financial con-
corning the World ownership that he has
of late been making this life particularly
burdensOme one for Mr.. Pulitzer. When
the WOrtd was sold, the consideration was
$340, 200. AS Mr. Gould was the sole own
er the payments were, of course, to be
made to him. Mr.. Pulitzer executed his
obligations and assumed control, Mr..
Gould glad, no doubt. to have the ele-
phant Oft his hands. But $34O. 900 was not
the sole consideration. There was one
more, of much consequence to Mr.. Gould,
and not at all calculated to add to the.
freedom of a prOfessedly independent
journalist. Mr. Gould stipulated-if not
in the bond, at all events where it could
be enrorced-that the World should for
the space OF one year be a
friend of and sustain all his
(GOuld's) business interests. This did
not please Pulitzer, and lately the
World has kicked over the traces. The
support of Gould was not altogether free,
open, and assuring; in fact, Mr.. Gould
was slapped right and left. AS eau
tiOus business man, the World editor was
not altogether bright. He had not paid
a penny, it is said, on the purchase of the
World, and few days ago Mr.. Gould
happened to think it might be good policy
to squeeze Mr.. Pulitzer. So he informed
him that he must do one thing or the 9th
er-pay or get out: there were others
ready with the money, and if he had
none he might as we'll close the
shop and move back to St.
Louis. Pulitzer rushed around. got
$150,0OO and paid it, and then printed an
other screed on his absolute ownership of
the paper. The trouble was not vet over.
for while Mr.. Gould insisted upon per
cent. on the remainder of the Indebtedness
$50, ,00O-PulitZer begged and fought for
4 per cent, and there the matter stands.

drew together after the manner of Cabi-

meeting, the age was discussed some
what, and somebody's aunty a good deal.
At one time the President remark

without his night shirt. A little later the
rest turned their faces out of their
sleeves and went to bed. The

He Blows Out His Brains.
NORFOLK, VA, Sept. 15.-Judge Robert
Mayo, of Westmoreland county. shot
himself in the head in a stateroom Of the
Virginia, a Baltimore steamer. early this
morning. The deceased was prominent
lawyer, and father of Robert W. Mayo, of
the State Senate, and of William Mayo, of
the House of Delegates. The cause of the
suicide is unknown.
Judge Mayo related his troubles to an
Episcopal clergyman of Norfolk, who
came from Baltimore with him. He said
that when elected Judge he did not agree
politically with his sons, who were
prominent Readjusters, but was told
that politics would not interfere
with his duties on the bench. Recently
he had been urged to make a removal and
appointment, which afterwards appeared
in his opinion in violation of the law. His
political situation irritated him and he
said he felt like ending his troubles bv
blowing out his brains. He is widely con
nccted and an uncle of Commodore Mayo
