TWO PLUCKY WOMEN,
Who Took Matters Into Their Own Hands
and Came Out Ahead
Cooley's Norwich, Conn, Weekly.

Cooleys Norwich. Comm Weekly.
IF there were any gentlemen in this car"
exclaimed a natty little woman with black eyes
and lady-like appearance, in street-car the
other day, they would not allow this brute of a
drunkard to annoy me. I'd like to be his wife
for half hour, I'd dress him down."
Cowed by her justifiabe anger, the genteel,
welldressed debauchee went out upon the plat
form. The little lady quickly sprang to the
door, braced herself against it, and cried out
Now come in, if you can!" And he did not
come in
1t requires deal of pluck for woman to in
sist on personal rights, but it pays. We were
forcibly impressed with this fact by converse
ton had last week with Mrs. S. A. Clark. of
East CRANKY, Conn. Many woman, pursued
by vengeful foe, will appreciate what she says.
An open foe. she says, she could meet; but an
ambushed enemy was horribly exasperating.
She called to her aid the wisest and most dis
Greet friends she had.
She expended all the money she could spare TO
detect and dsarm him. But she could not sue
| coed and was worried to distraction.
A daughter residing in Iowa was sent for to
comfort and advise with her. When she learned
what her mother had suffered with true West
ern pluck, she told her that she must take cour-
age, do as she told her and she would triumph
over her foe.
Ten long years of such annoyance at length
broke her down. Back ache, headache irrita-
bility spinal weakness, hot head, cold hands and
feet told her that the effect getting fatal.
Her health and spirits finally broke down under
the strain, and in 1875 she suffered unutterable
tortures for several months from vesical infam-
nation. In 1878. renal hemorrhage and gravel,
with frequent attacks Of chills and fever over
came her.
Her sutferings, she SAYS, surpassed description.
Finally her stomach refused all solid food, and
for month she lived on a teacupful of milk
three times day. Nervous prostration ensued.
Sleep impossible Walking was out of the
question, and in despair of relief she took to
her bed, expecting to die. She tried every rep
utable school OF physicians, who agreed that her
worriment had produced a combination of des-
perate diseases common to women IN middle life.
While they were treating one the others grew
worse.
Six weeks from the time she took her daugh-
terS advice, however, she resumed her place at
the table, and from that day to this has been in
sound and satisfactory health, which she attrib-
utes entirely to the use of Warmers Safe Cure.
All her ailments were caused by inactlon Of the
kidneys, and poisoned state of the blood pro-
duced by that inaction. This was her secret en-
envy
Mrs. Clark is a very estimable lady, who is to
be congratulated on having effectually routed
enemy which for many years pitiessly
pursued her. If other ladies would take the
same course, they would not long be subject to
such secret foes, or be

The Republican party must stand by this
momentous issue. None was ever agitated that

No party dare to openly oppose this measure.

at the commencement of the last presidential
campaign, and urged that it then be made an

solid South would be broken without further
agitation of this question. They learned differ

The Faith of the Republican Party.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Jou rnal:
The letter of John g. Whittier to the Essex
Club in Boston, embodies the outlines of what
the great Republican party must ultimately ac-
complish. All hope cherished by some men tina
.he Democratic party would carry forward the
demands of progress and the essential and i'm
perative requirements of aconsistent conformity
to the spirit of our institutions has gone down.
President Cleveland were he disposed to do So
cannot resist the persistent determination of his
party to fill the Offices with that element that
did the most to elect him to the Office he holds
The most questionable modes of accom-
plishng this result made the strongest plea
for recognition. That party has taken no steps in
formulating any policy TO meet the most urgent
wants of the country, to give to the freedman
of the South chance to cast his ballot accord
ing to his own convictions of right. This would
break the link that binds by force the solid
South to the Democratic party, and by SO doing
make the election of Democratic President
very doubtful, if not impossible. 1t is useless TO
attempt TO conceal the fact or to evade the issue
The question Of untrammeled suffrage must be

In Re Garnishee Proceedings at Columbus
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journals
The special to the Journal this morning from
this city in reference to the proceedings in gar.
nishment brought against employees of the
Pennsylvania Company is full of inaccuracies.
The Pennsylvania Company has nothing what
ever to do with the threatened prosecution of the
parties, nor has its attorney been instructed to
procure the indictment OF the parties. The
statements made in the special were put in circu-
laton by the attorney who brought the garnishee
proceedings, in the hopes of creating prejudice
in his favor and against the company. The par
ties garnisheed went before the grand jury of
their own free will, and without any instructions
whatever from the Pennsylvania Company or
any of its officers. ONE WHO KNOWS.

CLAY COUNTY, Nov. 18, A D., 1885.
John Il. Conner's Man of Straw.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The easiest man in all the world to down is a
man Of straw. Polemics understand this as
we'll as pugilists. Preachers even resort to it
at times, and lash themselves into foam in
as they constructed them for the occasion. 1t is
not difficult to construct such straw man by a
little ingenious manipulation, just as you can
prove, by scripture, that it is your duty to kill
your brother, thus: Gain slew his brother;
go thou and do likewise"
Mr.. Conner writes elegantly against 'the as
sumption that the saloon and the liquor traffic
is an institution created by law Now, in forty
years acquaintance with temperance literature,
/ never heard of such an assumption" Perhaps
in some cases careless speakers or writer's mean
ing to say that it is protected by law. may have
used this word. They should not 1t
should be enough to refute this that all
legislation ever had or ever proposed recognizes
the existence Of the traffic, and merely proposes
to regulate it. For short, all stringent laws are
called prohibitory, but no law passed or pro-
posed was intended to prohibit either the manu-
facture or sale of intoxicants-it merely proposes
to regulate.
OF course, the liquor traffic existed before the
state; so did gambling did polygamy and a
thousand other mschievous things. For years
our Sate and other States sought to regulate
gambling by laws which were to permit il to
live, under certain disabilities, and even churches
were built and Libraries bought with the pro-
ceeds But gam bling, in its least offensive form,
was such an unmixed evil that a constitutional
inhibition was put In our organic law in 1885,
Now we have no laws that presume to recognize
gambling in any form as entitled to live. lex
cept through boards of trade, and we will tackle
that form soon.) Every law relating to it is
prohibitory.
Polygamy existed long before this State or any
other State. All early legislation concerning it
was under the assumption that it ought to live
but be regulated. But IL could not be regulated,
hence for ages all civilized nations have prohb-
tied it. II rs folly never INDUCED in by reason
able temperance men to assume that the liquor
traffic is crime Of the same class with arson
and larceny, and the like. Some people be-
lieve that, as carried on in tipphng houses, it
is even more mischievous than either and some
may have been misunderstood CHASING it with

A Patron of the National Game.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal.
The Journal takes particular pains whenever
it has occasion to allude to the national game Of
base ball to intimate that base ball players are
class of men composed principally of buns.
which intimaton casts serious reflection on the
people who patronizc the game. Has the Journal
ever taken fiote of the class of men who patron
ize the game in this city? 1t is true it will find
some among the audience that are not the elite
of the city, but it will find that the majority of
the audience is composed of respectable citizens
of this city-merchants, clerks etc. and always
a plentiful supply of newspaper men. Of course,
the latter go a matter of business only. 1t
usually takes two or three men from each paper
to write up game of base ball (0. l. for one,
like to see game of base ball, and prove
my responsibility, and in attending game do
no not feel that l am doing anything to be
ashamed of. 1 respectfully take exceptions to
the Journals insinuations regarding the national
game, and would like to ask it the question: If
it is not respectable to attend a game of ball
why do so many of our best people go? re-
spectfully ask the Journal to answer this.
