Hardened Liver

Five years ago broke down with kidney and liver complaint and rheumatism.
 Since then have been unable to be about at all. My liver became hard like wood; my limbs were puffed up and filled with water.
 All the best physicians agreed that nothing could cure me. I resolved to try Hop Bit ters; have used seven bottles; the hardness has all gone from my liver, the swelling from my limbs, and it has worked miracle in my case; otherwise I would have been now in my grave. J. w. MoREY.

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE WAX

The Kings County Democrats Must
 Possess Their Souls 1n Patience.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-Speaking of the dis satisfaction among the members of the Kings County Democratic organization, who be- lieve they have beep unfairly treated in the distribution of patronage, Collector Hedden said this morning: ''I recognize that there is dissatisfaction among the rank and file of the Democratic party not alone in Brooklyn, but right here in New York. And yet what can be done to allay the discontent?" The reporter ventursd to suggest that the re- moval of Offensive partisans" might remove the discomfort. "But you see if were to make clean sweep tomorrow" MT. Hedden said, "it, would not benefit the Democratic party such at ell, while most assured1y it would bring the business of the office to a standstill. While the civil service lay lasts it will be observed here both in it's letter and it's spirit. I do not condemn the law, nor approve it, I am here simply to execute it."
 ''But you have the power of selection from a list submitted by the examiners" ''There again you are mistaken. The appointments are absolutely made by the civil service com mission at Washington. I can do all the removing want to, but as I said before such action would merely bring chaos into the ofiee."
 'sIs the pressure for appointments dimi- nishing2" fFYes, materially replied the collector. He added that he supplied every applicant with blank examination papers and intimated that perhaps this might account for the lessening of the rush.

A mouIders, Strike Settled.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Aug. 1O.-The strike of the moulders, which has been going on for the past four months, is ended and the arbitrators have rendered their decision which is accepted without protest on either side. Following are the findings of their report: First, that wages are not to be re- duced. Second, that the strikers and dis charged apprentices be re-employed as soon as possible and that no other men be em- ployed until all the former be at work. Third, that as the right of corporations to transact business through their officers and committees has been recognized by law, therefore the newly appointed representa- tives on either side should endeavor to treat each other with respect and consideration. Fourth, that heavy tools shall be charged to the men and if worn when returned shall be credited back, but if improperly damaged the men iii charge shall pay for them.

General Lee COntradicts Bob Toombs. NEW YORK, August 1O.-General Fitzhugh Lee was to-day shown a newspaper contain ing an interview with Robert Toombs iu which that gentleman says that Jeff Davis ruined the southern cause by letting West Point men control the policy of the Confed- eraey. General Lee expressed surprise and indignation. sfThere was scarcely a man of renown on either side who was not West Point graduate," he exclaimed. ''Toombs contradicts himself by saying that West Point ideas of martinet discipline throttled the South and then going on to state that Albert Sidney Johnston or Joe Johnston could have saved the Confederacy. Both these generals were West Point men. Among the famous southern soldiers educated at West Point were Lee, Stonewal1 Jackson, Joseph E. Johnston, Albert Sidney Johns ton. Beauregard, MacPherson and J: E. B. Stewart. Gordon, of Georgia, and N. B.. Forrest were almost the only able southern soldiers who did not owe their military edu- cation to the school on the Hudson"

We elected Jefferson Davis because he was able and pure-two essential qualities in states manship and private life-and we believed that his military education would be great value to the President of nation just plung- into war of independence.
