The BAD and Worthless

arc never initiated or counterfeited. 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 aud proved by the whole world
thar Hop Btters 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 peo-
pie Of the countsy had expressed the merits
of II. B.. and in every way trying to induce
suffering invalids to use their stuff instead
expecting to make money on the credit and
good name of H. B. Many others started
nosirums put mp in similar style to II. B.,
with variously devised names in which tho
word "IIop" OF "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 "IIop" in their name or in anyway
connected with them or their name, are
limitations or counterfeits. Beware Of them.
Touch none Of them. Use nothing but
genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch or cluster
or green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers are
warned against dealing in limitations or coun-
telfeits.

The Elections.

The results Of the local elections in
Oaio on Monday last are well calcu-
lated TO produce a rather respondent
feeling in the minds Of the Republicans
OF the whole country. Those results
seem to indicate more than we had
supposed they would-namely, that The
Germans have determined TO remain IN
the Democratic party. Mr.. Foran, the
cOugressman.e lecl from the Cleveland
district, is reported as having said;
1T means that The Democrats have
come to stay. 1t means that we will
carry the State next fail, and that we
shall elect a President in 1884. 1t
means that tie liberal elements which
were forced 10 leave the Republican
party do not intend to 60 back"
But that blunder which General
Grant saws the Democrats never fail to
make may be in tie womb Of the future.
The elections in Chicago on Tuesday
are of the same encouraging character
as were thos, Of Monday IN Ohio,
Michigan, and elsewhere. The irepres-
sible Carter Harrison was reelected
mayor by ten thousand majoritv.-

THE Mahoneltes' hope of keeping
their party together by the cry OF re
adjustment" is rapidly growing weaker.
They are DOW endeayoling 10 get up
new Issues by which they expect to ex'
cite the popular mind, while the aspir-
ing politicians ride into Office. They
find it necessary to support the tariff
doctrines OF The radicals, because their
success is dependent upon the support
which they receive from the .Stalwari
radicals. 1t is really amusing to see
their efforts 10 convince the people of
this section tina. q high protective
tariff is 10 the interest Of an unprotec-
ted agricultural community. Our peo-
pie do need protection but 1t is not the
kind Of protection which these Mahon-
cites propose to give them. They
want protection against the excessive
burdens imposed upon them for the
benefit of the monoplis;s, by reason of
which they are compelled TO pay. AN ex-
cesslve taxation upon nearly every arti-
Gle Of food used and upon their clothing
and necessary household property. The
relief which our people need, the Ma
homeless dare not give. They are IN
alliance with the radicals and must
support the measures of tie radicals
among which is protection of mOoOp-
olists. Tie Democratic party, on the
the other hand, are in favor Of reduce
lug taxation. 1t is folly to tax the
people larger amount that the gov
eminent requires. We need a tariff
tax for revenue and the manufacturers
Will be protected TO as great an extent
as it is proper for government to give
protection. The taxation Of one class
to enrich another is wrong, and the
party that advocates this doctrine will,
sooner or later, be repudIated by the
American people.

AYERS CATHARTIC Pills are the best
Of all purgativcs for family use. They
are the product Of long, laboriOuS, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized IA
tons, proves them the best and most
efiectual purgatiyo Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable 10 harm can arise from their
use, and being Sugar-coatcd, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person. knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order. and
maintain IA healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efIectual, they are especially adapted
ito the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest phySic to employ
for children and weakened cOnStitu-
tions, where mild but enectual
cathartic is required.

A Boston telegram Of yesterday
says: The Investigation into the man
asement oflhc TeN kesbury almshouse
was resumed this morning. Mrs.
Charlotte \. Thomas, OF Andover, 10
charge of certain departments OF the
almshousc, testified that DR.. Pease, a
female doctor, who treated the patients
evidently did not know her business
and three patients lost their lives
through her treatment. She had diff
iculty in getting clothes for Mrs.
Marsh to lay out the dead, and had
heard inmates complain that GOOD
clothing had been taken from them. In
the case of a dead child, it had been
kept too long. When the father came
for the body a block of wood was
placed in the coffin and service held
over that. The face Of an insane girl
when laid out was eaien by rats. Three
hundred and twenty-five pounds of
butter were made per month. Oae
pound dag was given to the inmates
aud the balance went to the Captain
Marsh. Skim-milk was given 10 the
inmates until forbidden BY the inspec-
tors. She had been told by Mrs. Marsh
TO take the hAnnels from the women
when she knew it would endanger their
health. When company was expected
a wond r!ul change was made, and
everything was put in the best possible
condition.
Boston, April 9.-The Tewke,bury

the amphitheatra were quiet. The
lanterns showed only the waving
trunks, and the great misshaped
bulks ranged in a circle. There
was only one sound in the place,
and it came from Pilot. The ele-
plant was still in a frenzy he still
strove TO free himself and break
away. The keepers undertook to
discipline him and used a couple of
well>trained elephants to assist
them. Obedient TO the word and
good Fritz and Gypsy sided up
10 the vicious Pilot and pressed
against him on either side. Their
joint weights overcame him. He
could plunge about no more. The

a manila rope an inch and a half
thick TO his feet. With an effort
he rcgained his freedom for an in
slant, and ligaiures were snapped

against him again. The furious
brute was powerless. But he did

and went with every struggle. The
animal was fairly mad. The keep.
ers lost no time. They procured
new ropes two inches and half in
thickness. They bound the fore
feet tightly and then the hind feet.
Stout ropes were attached TO either
and ran through blocks fastened to
