The Landlords of London.

Are many LOndOners aware of the eX-
tent of landed and house property at pres

held would not be embarrassing. Ofcourse
every schOOlbOy knows that the Duke OF
Westminster owns the larger portion OF
the city of Westminster, and possesses
GrOsyenOr square and the fashionable
district of Belgravia. An equally large
slice of the metropolis belongs, however,

GENTLEMEY-Like most Of my profession,
am cautious about pinning my faith to any
new medicine or curative agent. But your
BENSON's CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER
has broken through the barriers and won its
way to my good opinion. My attention was
first called to it some eight months ago by
patient Of mine. Although ! was well ac-
quainted with the superior excellence of your
other plaster and antiseptic dressing, made
for the profession. the Benson's
new to me, had heard, how
ever, Of its merits as a remedy, in cases Of
Lame Back. Local rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Congestion of the Bronchial Tubes and Lungs,
Dyspepsia, Torpid Liver and the like afec-
tions, and have since begun to experiment
with it personally. find BENSON'S CAP
CINE PLASTER an exceptionally cleanly
plaster to use, and rapid in it's action.
Many tests Of its qualities, made in nay own
family and among my patients, have con-
Ginced me that there is no other single article
70 valuable for popular use, nor 50 helpful in
he diseases have named.
Should you desire to do so, you may use my
lame to that effect. Very truly yours,

are never initiated or cOWRterteited. This
is especially true of family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy
initiated is of the highest value. AS soon
as it had been tested and proved by the
whole world that Hop Bitters was the
purest, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations sprung
up and began to steal the notices in which
the press and people of the country had
expressed the merits of III. b., and in every
way trying TO induce suffering in
Ealids to use their stuff instead, expect
ing TO make money on the credit and good
name of H, b, Many others started nos
trums put up in similar style to H. B.,
with Yariously devised names in which
the word "Hop" or ''HOps" were used in
a way to induce people to believe they
were the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter
what their style or name is, and especially
those with the word "HOp" or 'H0ps" in
their name or in any way connected with
them or their name, are limitations or
cOunterfeits. Beware of them. Touch
none of them. Use nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of
green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers are
warned against dealing in limitations or
cOunterfeits.

viii the River and HarbOr Bill be
Vetoed?

Washington Special to Cincinnati 7TD,es-.Star.
Already some curiosity is felt to see
what will be the course of the President on
the river and harbor bill should Congress
pass it. The President, it will be re
membered, in his message to Congress
when it convened, recommended that
no river and harbOr bill be enacted
at this session, yet the House
Commerce Committee, unable IL resist
the temptation to again put itself in
the way Of getting the blessing of the pub
lie, has trotted out a bill, There is some
doubt about the passage Of the bill, but
not much. 1t is pretty hard TO find a
member who will refuse to vote for bill
which gives money to be expended in his
own district, and while this bill does not
appropriate for more than One-fOurth the
number of streams provided for by the bill
of last year, it appears in the same way to
nearly every member of Congress.
The main question is whether the Presi-
dent will allow himself to be bulldOzed by
Congress into signing bill which he has
already said ought not to be passed. Those
who know the Hon, Chester 4. Arthur
best say he will not, The principal hope
of the bill in regard to the Presidents
relation to it lies in the fact that nearly
one-third of the sum appropriated by II
il for the improvement of the Mississippi
The President is an avOwed friend OF
that stream. He may allow his desire
to see the improvements of that stream
progress to lead him to sign the bill, but
as he did not do so before it is scarcely
probable that he will on this occasion
Should, by any chance, the act now pend
ing in Congress, giving the President the
right to veto a portion OF appropriation
bills and approve another portion, become
a law before the closing days of the SEES
sion, he may possess himself of the adj
vantage which this offers and approve
the Mississippi river feature of it and omit
the others. It is not, however, probable
that the bill will pass. fit does not we

Snccnr the suffering.

As will be seen by an official notice
given elsewhere, His Honor, the Mayor,
has. in obedience to a call Of representa-
tive citizens and business men of SaVan-
nah. has called public meeting 10 assem-
bic at noon to-day at the City Exchange to
take steps toward contributing TO the re-
lief of the sufferers from the floods in
the Ohio valley.
The magnitude of the disasters caused
by the foundations can only be pictured,
bat the readers of the daily papers have
been kept appraised of the ravages of the
floods, and if is enough for the charitable
to know that the voices of the destitute
appeal for aid to be prompt TO contribute
to their relief.
The work of relieving the distressed is
already, or shortly will be, in progress
throughout the country, and it behooves

In his address at the annual meeting of
the Illinois State Bar Association last
month, Mr.. Charles c. Bonney. President
Of the association, made this emphatic
and manly declaration: THE greatest OBJ
stacles in the way Of the prosperity Of the
legal profession; the most serious him
ORANGES to their usefulness; the sources
Of greatest injury to their clients; the
causes Of deepest dissatisfaction snd
prejudice, are the DELAYS. uncertainties
and expenses Of legal proceedings.
The losses and the anxieties arising
from these causes are often more than the
results which the sutton is finally allowed
10 take out of the scales Of Justice. A
client who has followed just cause from
court to court and through trial after
trial, seeing verdicts set aside and judy
ments reversed for some mistake which
perhaps does not touch the real merits OF
the controversy, is very likely to conclude
that any settlement he could have made
out Of court would have been better
than victory in a litigation. and to
govern his future conduct according
~. What the spirit Of the age
and the interest alike of LAWYERS and
clients demand is, that litigation be con-
fned 70 the vital questions Of just causes,
and that speedy results be reached" Mr..
Bonney suggested several measures Of
reform, and among them these: "Let the
law declare that no one shall be heard in
a court Of justice except upon the eOndi-
fion Of submitting both to do and receive
substantial justice without regard to any
1echnicality or mattaEof FORM : = = LET

sion spent upon a single issue, without
definite policy pending and without dar-
ing even in caucus to present or discuss

disgraceful confession of weakness. Nc
votes were taken, no propositions submit

The Macon Telegraph, in a spirit of
friendly interest, remarks: ''If the manu-
featuring interests of Savannah had kept
pace with her shipping interests, she
would now be not simply the most i'm
pOrtant city in Georgia, but one of the
largest and most fiOurishing in the South.
The mistake which she has made in neg
lecting her opportunities as location for
diversified manufacturing industries, is
one that can be remedied. Let the past
suffice for failure of enterprise in this
direction. The Savannah Of the future
should provide better things"
How much truth (and there is unques-
tiOnably great deal) there may be in
these utterances of our contemporary our
capitalists and public-spirited citizens
can readily determine. The lesson pre-
scented is, plain, and the means are at
hand to illustrate it. 1t remains to be
seen whether the opportunities presented
will be embraced. or whether Savannah

The Mexican products which under the
treaty are TO have free entry into the
United States, are. it will be noticed, all
raw materials. Raw hides of various
kinds. several kinds of tihres, dye woods
and other materials valuable in dyeing,
cloths and vegetable oils for soap, make
up numerically the greater part OF the
list. Coffee is already on the free list in
our tariff. The American products adj
mitted into Mexico free are almost wholly
manufactured articles, a fact that makes
the treaty particularly desirable one for
us. In short the provisions OF the treaty
secure our manufacturers, duty free, an
important variety of raw materials, and.
on the other hand, open a new and i'm.
pOrtant market for their manufactured
goods. From what is known of the pro-
visions of the document, the advantage
seems largely on our side.
