ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND AND FRIGHT
SMART OF BEARS


On the deck Of a big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating by
a sweep of his arm the waters. the boat was pass
ing over he said to passenger from the
when ! was twelve yearssold killed my first
bear On q new plantation my father was then
cutting out OF forest that grew directly over
the waters of this bend. That was mighty
good plantation, and there was right smart of
bears there, too. But that one thousand acres
of land went into the Mississippi years ago.
1t is putting no strain upon the figure to say
that great forests OF youthful hope WomanIy
beauty and manly strength are swept In the
same way every year into the great, turbid tor
rent of disease and death. Yet it should not be
so. That 1t is so is a disgrace as well as q loss.
People are largely too careless or too stupid to
defend their own interests-the most precious
of which is health. That gone, all is gone. Dis
ease Is simple, but to recklessnesS or ignorance
the simplest things might as well be complex as
a proposition in Comic Sections. AS the huge
Western rivers which SO often flood the cities
along their shores, arise in few mountain
springs, SO all our ailments can be traced to i'm
pure blood and o small group of disorded organs
The most effective and inclusive remedy for
disease is PARKERS TONIC. 1t goes to the
sources of pain and weakness. In response to
its action, the liver, kidneys, stomach and
Heart begin their work afresh and disease is
hriven out. The tonic is not, however, an in
Q XII cant, but cures a desire for strong drink

The Democratic papers have been making

The Democratic papers have been making
a great ado over the New Haven revolt
against Blaine and Logan. A writer in
the Tribune from New Haven gives the
true inWardness of the meeting, and from
it we conclude that there is very little
comfort for the Democrats. The account,
says the writer, as published in the N. Y.
Times, gives the names OF many respectable
New Haven citizens as present, who were
in fact absent, have no sympathy with the
resolutions and proceedings of the meet
ing, and who will vote for Blaine and
Logan in November next. The room in
which the meeting was held is OH the third
floor of an insurance building by actual
measurement it is 20X35 feet in size, with
small ante-room attached, and it contains
seats for sixty-five persons. One hundred
and twenty five persons might be crowded
into the room. There was no meeting,
and no great crowd out of the room itself.
The ante-room and doorway were filled
with young men who are mostly Blaine
Republicans, and who went from motives

taking part in the proceedings. The sig
natures for the call Of this meeting were
diligently sought for week by Independ-
emit and Democratic runners. Democrats
as well as Republicans were asked to sign
it, but to the credit of most Democrats it
should be stated that they generally de-
clined to do so. Men who have no OBJ
lection to Blaine, but who dissent from
some parts of the platform, were induced
| to sign, and did so with the assertion that
they should probably vote for Blaine and
Logan. Those who preferred Edmunds to
Blaine and who approve theplatform were
persuaded to sign as an expression Of their
anti-convention sentiments. Several of
| the signers are Democrats, a majority are
Free Traders, "a few have been unsuccessful
seekers of office at the hands of the Re-
publican party, and majority of those of
the signers who voted for Garfield have
been counted for many years as unreliable
Republicans, who would bolt any nomina-
ton which displeased them. Some of the
alleged signers have published cards deny
ing that their names were placed to the
paper by authority, and altogether the
whole affair turns out to be the devisement

A recent special dispatch from the
national capitol to the DAILY Times, of
Philadelphia, Colonel Alexander Nc
Clure's paperl says:
IL is no longer u secret that the work
of The department. o I justice in exposing
robbery on the part OF United States
obi cials III the south has seriously in-
terfered with President Artuur's
scheme to get the southern state dele
CATIONS solid for himself IN the next ma
Jional republican convention. Every
body here knows that there has been
the greatest uneasiness at the white
house for a long time. Attorney Cen
eTal Brewster, General Agent Brewster
Cameron and the examiners working
under their direction have had but one
purpose. They have sought to put a
stop 10 the enormous robbery OF the
government which has been going on
for years. II bad been the custom TO
make an alleged examination of the ac-
counts OF United States marshals, but
IN nearly all cases the examiners were
blinded by the delinquent officials, and
nothing resulted but a favorable report.
The present administration of the de-
paTtment undertook a different method.
1t is somewhat singular that outbursts
of official indignation and streaks of
public economy generally strike parties
high in Official station, Immediately
ahead Of a heated political campaign.
S~cape-goats have always TO be raked up
TO pay the penalty of soiled sinners, who
rise up in holy horror and virtuous in
dignation over dark and dirty deeds
With which they have been intimately
though covertly connected. The funny
figures that Ben Brewster and his
cohorts cut in the famous and Infamous
star route prosecutions are still fresh
in the minds Of the American people,
and it might be well for Mr.. Brewster
and bis satellites to remember that 1t is
very dangerous for people residing
within glass houses to SHE rocks at
