CURE FOR PILES,

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some af-
lection of the kidneys or neighboring Or

are present, fatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable itch
ing, after getting warm, is a common at
tendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching
Piles yield at once to the application of

rectly upon the parts affected, absorbing

and effecting,a permanent cure. Price 80

VETERANS OF THE MEXICAN

| WAR.
To the Statesman.
The STATESMAN published during the
month of July, telegram from Senator
Maxey, stating that the house bill pen
sioning veterans of Mexican war, ha d
been amended and had passed the senate
and that doubtless the house would agree
to the senate's amendments and the bill
would become a law this session. e
seems that the bill was returned to the
house too late for agreement, and conse-
quently will have to lay over until CON
gress meets in December, next.
The following telegram from Hon. John
d. Sayers, to Gen. N. G. Shelly, president,
and Colonel Stands, secretary of the
Veteran association, explains the situa-
ton:
Cannot get senate's amendment be-
fore the house for action without unani-
nous consent, which cannot be secured.
am certain the bill will pass next SEES
sion. Have done everything possible to
get the bill passed this session."
(Signed) Jos. d. SAVERS.
SO the veterans will have to wait six
months longer. The bill for their relief
has been pending for ten or fifteen years.

APPEAL FOR MONEY.

POwderly Issues His Manifesto to the
Knights Of Lab0r-Money Wanted.
PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-General Mas
ter Workman Powderly of the Knights Of
Labor yesterday addressed the following
circular TO members of the order:
Noble Order Of ths knights Of Labor Of Amer
lea:
You have oil read Of the great strike on the
Gould Ines of ra lway in the Southwest. Its
history is being written day by day. 1T makes
but little difference now whether the men OF
the Southwest acted wisely or not. Let us
pass that part of the affair over, for II, too,
has passed into history. The general execu-
tive board of the order attempted to settle
the trouble and restore harmony. Agree
ments were made by them with Jay Gould,
Esq, but when the board reached st. Louis,
Mir Hoxie would not treat with them; not
that alone, but he positively refused to en,
plOy Knights of Labor. whether they had
been active i'm the strike or not
1t now becomes the part of every man and
woman in the order TO take up the fight OF
the men of the Southwest and assist them to
the full extent of their means. They have
been idle for nearly two months. They have
had n most trying ordeal to go through and
are In need OF funds: 1t req',ires no ., e eh,
suffering people. They require aid, and 1t
becomes our duty to extend that ad IA
quickly az possible for US to do so. Send
every dollar you can spare to the general
secretary and treasurer. who will at once
forward to them at st. Louis for distribution.
Remember the men out there do not ask for
charity, They do not ask ut all. 1t IS your
executive board that makes the appeal in
their behalf. He who gives quickly gives
double. Act mt once.
Another appeal may be sent to you and we
ask of you to prepare for it row. We must
he judged by our actions in this matter.
Don't pass resolutions condemning capital,
for we are not fighting capital. Don't an
tagOnize the contest we have before us. Let
us make a friend of every man who has suf-
fered through monopoly. This battle against
the man who represents monopoly must he
fought out manfully. Watch his actions
everywhere. Keep an eye on the dOings of
appointed to do its duty feariessy. Strengthen
their hands. Give them every aid.
In conclusion let us again ask that you
send at once every dollar You can ut present
spare to uphold the men who are now out
along the lines of the Southwest system of
GOuld'S railway. Do not delay and at the
same time make ready to bring the whole
power ready to bear upon the man who
wrecks railroads, homes, fortunes and lives
have it go into history that the men of
1885 struck as grand a blow for liberty as the
men of 11.6. The men of ITO broke the
power of monarchy and dethrOned
the King. The power which they wrested
from the King was not so great rs that which
is now held by one man who. through the
corrupt use of money, has brought manu-
facturer and workman to ruin. The power
of the King passed away. The power of
determined whether man shall rule or
whether wealth shall rule.
