AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFLlCTIhG

The disease commences With a slight
arrangement of the stomach, but, if
neglected, it in time involves the whole
frame, embracing the kidneys, liver,
pancreas, and, in fact, the entire glandu-
lar system, apd the afflicted drags out a
miserable existence until death gives
relief from suffering. The disease is
often mistaken for other complaints;
but if the reader will asked himself the
following questions, lac will be able to
determine whether he himself is one of

WILL THAT DAY CONE

If the time shall ever come when
civil service rules are strictly obsery-
ed, and when there will be no such
thing as removal from Office EXCEPT
for misconduct or inability to perform
the duties of Office, it will introduce a
new era in our governmental affairs.
Ii on the incoming of change or new
administration it shall be distinctly
understood that no incumbent of an
Office has any greater liability of4eing
removed for cause than if there had
been no change in the appointing power,
what world of scrambling for Office
would be saved. Every one knew be-
fore the Presidential election last fall
that civil service rules had been estab-
lished by the agreement of both politi-
cal parties in Congress, but as soon as
the election of Grover Cleveland was
ascertained, Office aspirants sprang up
all over the country, without regard to
the rules which had been agreed to for
protecting those in Office from dis
turbance who were honestly discharg-
ing their duties. Democrats, who ad-
vocated and voted for civil service in
| Congress. and who in their campaign
| S, eeches declared civil service reform
one Of the absolute necessities of the
country, were, in not few cases, clam
ering for appointments for themselves
and friends, in total disregard of their
obligations to adhere to the rules they
helped to enact. Judging from the
multitudes who are anxious to get
possession of the offices not now vacant,
it is reasonable to conclude that not
withstanding their professed friendship
for civil service reform, they were
never sincere in its advocacy.
| 1t civil service were fixed fact in
principle and practice, the incoming Of
a new administration would hardly
produce fraction OF the excitement it
has done the past few months. A
change of Cabinet officers might be
necessary, if those in Office were not in
accord with the new President. It is
desirable that the cabinet of the Presi-
dent should be in harmony with his
policy. But the thousands of clerks in
the various Departments, it matters
nothing to the government what may
be their political status any more than
the same number of persons not in
government employ. The system to
the victor belongs the spoils" has been
so long in the ascendancy, that civil
service will yet have many hard
battle before establishing its supre-
macy.

GENERAL GRANT.

The average condition of Gen. Grant
has been improved the past week-far
more so than his medical advisers had
thought possible. Contrary to opin-
ions expressed a short time since that
his days were numbered only by hours,
he still lives, and some of his nearest
friends have expressed confidence of
his ultimate recovery. His case has
been one of exceeding interest; for
weeks he has been alternating between
life and death. In the meantime
prayers have been going heavenward
in his behalf from all over the land
showing the deep-felt sympathy for the
great hero.

POISON At THE 'FRONT.' DOOR.

No article entering SO generally into
the food of every family has been found
more villainously adulterated than bak-
ing powder. For the purpose of under
selling those powders of absolute purity
and wholesomeness which alone are
safe for use in food, hundreds of dealers
are putting up baking powders with
cheap and adulterated cream of tartar,
which contains lime, earth, etc., adding
strength by the free use of alum.
These adulterated powders are
showed" upon the public with the
greatest persistency. They are first
given away-left in samples at private
residences, with circulars containing
bogus analyses and certificates, and
false representations as to their value,
etc. This fact of itself is sufficient to
condemn them. A first-class article
will sell on its merits. No manufacturer
whose goods are ofvalue can afford to
give them away, and none but the cheap
est make and most inferior or unmarked
able goods require to be distributed free
in order to get the public to use them,
and this method is adopted only by
parties who have failed to dispose of
their wares through the ordinary and
legitimate channels of trade.
Free samples of articles of food left at
the house should be regarded with sus-
picion. There is no guarantee of their
wholesom eness, while there is real dam
ger that they contain a fatally poisonous
compound. Many instances of poison
ing from the use of such samples are
recorded.
The only safe way is to consign all
such samples Immediately to the ash
barrel, and to turn deaf ear to the
statements made by their vendors. It
is not worth while to trife with life and
health to the extent of testing every
doubtful baking powder that comes
along. Better to rely upon an old and
reliable brand, like the Royal, which
has by quarter of q century's constant
use proved its perfect wholesome ness
and efficiency, or some other brand that
is not SO worthless and cheap that its
proprietors can afford to give it away by
the CARLOAD. 1t is in its favor that the
Royal Baking Powder is never given
away, sold by means of lotteries, nor ac-
companied by chromos, spoons, crock
cry, or other gifts, except the gifts of ab-
solute purity, wholesomeness, fullweight,
and superlative leavening powder. It's
own merits haye.been its chief advertise
ment, and they have secured for it the
constant patronage of the American
people to an extent beyond the combined
sale Of all other baking powders. The
Royal Baking Powder is certified by all
the Government chemists as absolutely
pure and perfect.

THE MILL TAX BILL.

A bill bearing the above title passed
both houses of the legislature with but
one dissenting vote to increase the
state school fund by tax of one mill
on the dollar. But before it was ap-
proved by. the Governor, members
who had voted for it made the discov-
cry that it would operate unequally, as
the bill provided that the tax should be
apportioned in the several counties in
proportion to the number Of children
of school age, as ascertained by the
last census. The tax of one mill on
the dollar, according to the state valua-
ton of property, would produce a
revenue of 100000. The southern or
old counties in the state pay very
large part of the property tax, and while
the newer and northern counties
abound with children Of school age, the
taxable property is comparatively
much less. The effect of the tax will
largely benefit the new counties.
Whether this is unjust or just. there
appear to be differences of opinion.
1t is the safe side to help the cause of
education. The Governor signed the
bill, Notwithstanding the effort made
to have him return it to the legislature
for further consideration.

WINNEBAGO SETTLERS.

Probably no act of President Cleve-
land has given so much dissatisfaction
as the reversal of the order OF Presi-
dent Arthur, opening the Winnebago
lands to settlement. Whether it was
the right policy for President Arthur
to issue proclamation allowing actual
settlers to enter upon these lands there
may by differences of opinion, but
after thousands of people have located
on the lands in good faith, under the
sanction of President Arthur, and have
acquired rights in legitimate way. it
seems an uEwarrantable procedure for
President Cleveland to annul the act of
his predecessor, and order the thous-
ands who have acquired homes to pack
up and leave. Whether a President
has right to revoke the acts of his
predecessor, disregarding the rights
acquired by citizens in good faith, is
to say the least, an arbitrary and high
handed measure, and one which will
not be submitted to by the sufferers,
unless by compulsion of force. The
only peaceable solution of the difficulty
is for Mr., Cleveland to withdraw his
order for the settlers to vacate, The
feeling in the northwest is intense.

TOBACCO.

The fever for growing tobacco is
running higher this spring than here
tofore in several counties in this
state. The tobacco interest has been
increasing for some years. About one
hundred and fifty acres will be raised
in the towns Of Walworth county.
The Sun Prairie Cotptryman says the
chief product in that region this sea-
son will be tobacco. The Dodgeyille,
Iowa county, Chronicle mentions that
over sixty acres will be grown by farm
ers in that vicinity. These several
mentions are but a fraction of what is
contemplated in the line of tobacco
this year, The producers of tobacco
will doubtless realize profits, but to
what extent the general wealth of the
country will be enhanced by big crop
of tobacco for home consumption, it
might be curious TO see explained.

PRECA U1TONS AGAINST
CHOLERA.

Although the cholera in past months
has been making no nearer approaches
to this country, the most prudent
observers are suspicious that the dread
scourge may visit the United States
Precautionary measures are being
taken very wisely in many towns and
cities to avoid against the infectious
invasion of cholera. The Vice. Presi-
dent OF the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway has issued circular to the
officers and employees on the line of
the road, containing instructions for
avoiding cholera. The circular con-
tains valuable suggestions, which every
village and town would do we'll to
heed. Towns and cities on the line of
railroads, or great thoroughfares of
travel, are doubly liable to cholera ex-
posture,

THE LATE WISCONSIN, LEGISLA-
TURE.

In noticing last week our state legis-
lature, it should have been added that
the moral and temperance sentiment
of that body is gratifying. For years
our agricultural fairs, state and coun-
ty, have been improperly allowed liq-
uor stands, wheel of fortune and var.
ious gambling devices ON the grounds,
much to the disgust of large numbers
of citizens. None of these furnish
ments have any legitimate place at
agricultural fairs. One of the draw
backs and hindrances to the success of
county fairs has been the permission
given to licensed and unlicensed de-
vices which are entirely foreign to the
true purpose of a county fair.
Our state legislature did itself the
credit to put itself on the record on
the side of temperance and good order.
The annual appropriation of $4,000 for
the State Agricultural Society was
granted only on condition that all in
toxicating liquors, including beer and
gambling, shall be excluded from the
fair grounds. Heretofore the argu-
ment made by the agricultural board
for the allowance of liquor selling and
gambling on the grounds was that it
Increased the revenues of the society.
The legislature disposed of these i'm
moral means for increasing tie funds.
If the state society cannot do business
without the support of revenues de-
rived from the liquor traffic and gam
bling, then let it go into liquidation and
retire. The legislature has prescribed
like stringent regulations for the coun-
ty agricultural societies. Tue county
societies are entitled to and receive
from the state 500 for the encoura ge-
ment of agricultural associations.
The bill passed the legislature reads
as follows:
ut is hereby made unlawful for
the Secretary of State to draw any
warrants for the payment of moneys
appropriated to the various agricultur-
al societies of the state, except upon
the presentation of the sworn state
ment of the president and secretary of
each society, that said society at its
annual fair held during the year, for
which its appropriation was made, has
D rohibited and excluded from its fair
