MR. and MRS. NEWcoMB,
Of State ste, Springfield, Mass. What they say inn favor of a Real Honest Thing-Their word as Good
 as Gold.


 Mrs. Newcomb is the wife of one of the employees in the United States Armory, Springfield, Mass. She says: 'I have used Dr. Kennedy's FAVORITE REMEDY for Indigestion and Biliousness. My bus. band has also used it. We keep it in the house as family medicine and consider it the best ever made for the purposes recommended.'
 Dr. Kennedy is eaily in receipt of letters from pa tiens expressing similar sentiments these ed by Mrs. Newcomb of State street. These letters spontaneous and put in all varieties of phraseol ogy, but invariably setting forth thipg-he value of Kennedy's FAVORITE REMEDY for many forms of disease, It may be just the thing you have been ooking for. Is your Liver disordered? Have you Derangement of the Kidneys Bladder associated with Constipation of the Bowels? If so, you want Kennedy's FAyORITE REMEDY. Dr. Kennedy practices Medicine and Surgery in all their branches Write and state your case. "Favorite Remedy" is fast becoming trusted household friend in all of Female Weakness and diseases of the blood. One dollar bottle. Your druggist has it.

Recently Samuel F. Jones, the promi- nent criminal lawyer, announced in the police court that hereafter he will not ap- pear as counsel in the criminal courts of men accused of violating the liquor laws. A reporter of the Post called upon MT. Jones and asked him the reasons for his action. MT. Jones, in reply, said
 "It is doubtful whether there has been in this state more general and decided feeling that something must be done to stay the ravages of intemperance than ex- ists to-day. It is by no means confined to what are known as temperance people or temperance organizations. Our business men of every class know that they are tax ed to care and provide for an army of the poor and unfortunate, to say nothing of the criminal classes brought to that condi- tion by drink. The prisons, insane asy- lums, poor houses and numberless charita- ble institutions all about us furnish abund- ant proof. And all this misery is tolerated in order that a few may make little mon- ey. There IS no disgusting the fact that commodities, unhealthy and poisonous, are sold right here in Hartford under the guise and name of spirituous liquors The good samaritans, recognizing the fact that legislation in the present condition of po- litical parties cannot or does not furnish the relief desired or the reform demanded. are making vigorous efforts in this and the adjoining states to create public senti- ment against liquor drinking. They are reinforced by class of men whose efforts must, and will, be productive of great good. Indeed, some of our best criminal lawyers say publicly that they will no longer appear in court as defenders or apologists for men prosecuted for viola ton of the law relative to the sale of i- quors.
 "For myself, I have become personally disgusted with the whole liquor traffic, and although not a professed temperance man, I shall hereafter have nothing to do with the defense of men accused of violating the liquor law"

The Italian Times has very clever story which illustrates the grand truth that abroad some things can be done as we'll as others. It comes out o1ropos of the SUD- pression of the memoirs of the duke of Seze Coburg. A younger son of the duke of Argyll. so runs the tale, wished to mar ry an untitled lady, and not unnaturally asked his fathers consent to that step. The duke replied that personally he had no objection to the match but, in view of the fact that his eldest son had espoused a daughter of the queen, he though it right to ask her maiesty's pleasure on the sub feet befor expressing his formal approval
 Her majesty thus appealed to, observed that since the death of the Prince Consort she had been in the habit of consulting the duke of Saxe, Coburg on all family affairs. The matter was, therefore. referred to Dnke Ernest. who replied that since the unification of Germany he had made it a rule to ask for the emperor's opinion on all important questions. The case now came before the Kaiser, who decided that as a constitutional sovereign. he was bound to ascertain the views of his prime minister. Happily for the now anxious of lovers. the iron chancellor had no wish to consult anybody. and decided that the marriage might take place.

Editor Labor Enquirer.


DENVER, Sept. 2O-To any disinter-
ested observer who might consider the
relative condition of the two great classes
into which all society is divided, namely,
the producers and the nOn-prOduCers,
the thought might come, "Why is it that
the drones of society who produce moth
ing are enabled to appropriate 50 much
of the wealth produced by the work ers ?"
He would observe that the former are
few, the latter many, and his wonder
would increase. But if he would exam
inc more closely he would no longer be
surprised. He would find that, as rule,
the nOn-producing classes made a study
of the laws and principles governing
those economic facts, which it has been
declared, are in reality the controlling
forces in the destiny of every nation.
He would find that they were intelligent
upon the effects Of legislation in enrich
ing the few and impOverishing the
many, and that they manipulated laws
accordingly.
II ever the industrial classes of the
United States nope to escape from this
bondage to what is termed capital, they
must study and become masters of the
underlying principles of our economic
system. They are to-day striking at re-
suits, instead of seeking and removing
cause. And just 50 long as they con-
tinue to do so will they suffer from the
evils of which they complain.
Let them get together and discuss,
without prejudice or partisan bias, the
effects Of tariff and financial legislation,
seeking only the truth. Let them in
qure into the laws that govern the pro-
duction and distribution Of the products
of labor, which alone are wealth. If al,
the stocks, bonds, mortgages and money
in the country We're annihiIated to-mOr-
row, there would not be particle less real
Wealth but the ownership and distribu-
'iou Of it would be vastly changed.
