GOLDEN SEAL BITTERS are the
great blood purifier, liver and kidney REM
edy and life-giving principle, a perfect
renovator and iuyigorator of the system,
carrying away all poisonous matter and
restoring the blood to healthy condition,
enriching it, refreshing and invigorating
both mind and body. They are easy OF
administration, prompt in their action,
certain in their results, safe and reliable in
all forms of disease. Every moment Of our
lives, every part Of our bodies, is wearing
out and is being built up anew. This work
is accomplished by the blood. The blood,
if pure, makes the entire circuit of the
body every seven minutes. But if it be-
comes weak or vitiated and does not perform
its work properly the system is actually
poisoned by the worl-out matter clogging
the vital organs instead Of leaving the body
Cleanse the blood whenever you find its inn
purities bursting through the skin in

The legislature Of Michigan will have no
more pains-taking or Woodworking member
than Judge Parkhurst. He has already in
troduced, or given notice that he would in
troduce, at some future day, the following
bills: A bill to regulate freight on railroads,
q bill TO abolish the Office of state swamp
land commissioner, and to transfer the duties
of that Office to the state land Office, bill
for the adjustment and payment of state
bounties due to Michigan soldiers, and bill
for the protection of highway crossings over
railroads. These are all measures of great
importance, and Mr.. Parkhurst will have
earned the commentator of his constitu-
ents, if he secures their passage. In this
connection we would call his attention to the
necessity of some additional legislation for
the protection of fish in our inland waters.
The spearing of fish, especially in the months
OF May and June, and the use of dynamite
and other explosives, for the purpose of kill
ing fish, ought to be prohibited. Our state
expends large sums of money for the artifi-
cial propagation of fish, and then allows
promiscuous and wholesale destruction of
them, thus preventing any substantial benefit
being received for the money expended.
With proper degree of protection our lakes
and rivers would quickly be stocked with ma
tive fish, as they were when the country was
new, and there would be no need of artii
cial propagation.

write on any subject of public interest with
so great a certainty that everybody will want
to know what they say, but many of his fell

Gladstone and Home Rule.

"Birthdays," says our esteemed evening
contemporary, the Washington Critic, "are
times for making good resolutions. Now
let Mr.. Gladstone resolve to-day that he
will give home rule to Ireland.n
There is no reason to doubt that Mr..
Gladstone would, If he could, and will, II
he can, "give home rule to Ireland" 1t
would be o fitting close Of his great career
to achieve such an enlargement Of the area
of liberty. But Mr.. Gladstone is not die
tator, nor are the English people peculiarly
tractable. He is at the head Of a party
which holds most of the friends Of liberty
in Great Britain. But not even in that
party can he find, at this time, unless ap-
pearances are deceptive, sufficient support
for an honest home rule measure TO give as
surance that it could be put through the
commons,
Let 1t be hoped that reaction may soon
set in, and that the present harshness of
English feeling toward Ireland may be
mitigated. Let this be hoped for the good
of the English as well as the Irish, for there
will be no rest from agitation until the God
given right Of local self-goyernment is con-
ceded to the long-sufrering inhabitants of
Ireland.
"Gentlemen may cry peace peace but
there is no peace-the war is actually be-

flow the sympathies of every friend OF man

The Henderson BiII.

The army bill introduced by Senator
MandeHon is attracting attention in mill
tAry circles and is being extensively dis
cussed In newspapers. II is, Of course,
favored by army officers, for II is decidedly
in their interest The press is less friendly,
but no determined hostility Is yet appar-
ent.
The object Of the bill is TO increase the
''potential strength Of the army with but
slight additions to cost of maintenance.
The change proposed is somewhat radical
a good deal In the nature OF q new depart
ure-but may not he less acceptable or de-
sirable for that reason. 1t is proposed to
create number Of 'skeleton battalions,n
one or more to each regiment, so that, In
any emergency, the numerical strength of
the army coul be largely augmented with
out forming new organizations. The ad-
vantages Of such plan are manifest.
Whether the necessity is sufficiently great
to justify the increased expenditure, which
would, in time, be required, is question
for the serious consideration Of Congress.
Very little addition TO the rank and file
or TO barracks and post expenses is con-
tcmplated, but there would be consider
able increase in the pay of officers conse-
quent on numerous promotions, There
