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 affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fiatulency, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira-
ton. producing very disagreeable itching
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DIR, Boskano's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent
cure. Price, 80 cents. Address, the DIR. BOs-

CONVICT LABOR IN TExAs.

The destructiveness OF convict labor is
challenging the attention OF the best
Journals in this state. The State
Democracy are realizing the effect OF
such labor in way that cOmpels their
consideration. They are beginning to
understand that If they would retain the
vote Of the working men and the farmers
they must abolish the convict system,
on farms and in manufactures. The
Democracy of Texas are, and have been,
so all-powerful that they are solely re-
sponsible for all laws that grace and dis
grace the statute books Of the common
wealth. The protests that have reached
the State Capital and have been pre-
sented before both branches Of the legis-
lature have been numerous, respect
able, and often presented, but no respect
has been paid to them. Conven-
ton after convention has put
plank in the State platform, as
matter of form, condemning convict
labor and declaring that 1t should no
longer compete with honest labor. These
planks have been ignored in all the legis-
lation that has followed, and are as dead
as the petitions with which the Legisla-
ture has been deluged. Texas has large
farms run by convict labor to the detri-
ment and destruction OF all small farm
ing in their vicinity. Mass meetings
have been held, resolutions passed and
circulars scattered broadcast over the
State condemning the employment of
such labor, but hitherto without effect.
The farmers alliances will make an effort
this fall to send representatives to Aus
tin who will pay some heed to the will
of the people thus repeatedly expressed,
and, 1t may be, some tangible results will
follow. At Rusk, the State of Texas
has brought convict labor directly
in competition with free labor.
She is carrying on heavy iron-works,
crushing out free labor, and private
enterprise is being driven from the
state. 1t is high time to call a halt.
The people who are directly interested
in this movement, the farmer, mechanic
and day laborer, must fall into line and
see that every man whom they support
for the legislature is pledged against
convict labor; pledged to the repeal Of
every law on the statute book that
sanctions the employment of such labor
or allows it TO come into COM
petition with the free labor Of
the honest industrious citizen. The
question is before the people. They
will not consent to let it drop. Better
far that all our prisoners were con-
demned to solitary confinement and fed
at the expense Of the state than they
should be used as instruments Of state
oppression to coerce labor and degrade
it. Put these convicts at work upon
the state and county roads and keep
them there improving the highways.
DO away with the iniquitous poll-tax
and keep the conviots at road work
under guard, and Texas will be hun
dred per cent!sbetter for the change.

TEMPERANCE legislation has been, is
and will be one of the disturbing ele-
ments in Texas politics this season. or
this there is no question. Those who
are Interested in this matter will please
note that all local option laws are
doomed to failure, for they are only the
cOwardly devices OF such legislatures rs
are afraid to face the music and SO turn
matters over to the several munioipali-
ties. Local option is a failure because
there is no unanlmity in the
action of the several communities
composing the state, and being
divided in policy and procedure
the local option house will not stand.
High license compels the traffic to pay
Its own expenses and crowds out the
irresponsible and reckless from the
trade. 1t is the best promoter of truly
temperance principles Of any legislative
movement yet introduced, and when
eyer fairly tried and rigidly enforced has
done more to suppress intOxication than
any other remedy yet applied by the
state. This statement will be denied
by the prohlbitioniSt journals but the
statistics of the states will bear out the
assertion.

-IncrHaseH nfAluEhanees

BRUSSELS, March 30.-Quiet has not
yet been restored at Charleroi, but the
strikers are generally returning TO
work. The only locality where the dis
turbances have increased is the Cen
trail coal mining district The princi-
pal quarry owner in the Tourney dis
trict has consented to increase the
wages of the men if the master miners
at the meeting 30 night shall aequi-
esce. A mob of strikers entered Tour
nay this morning, making noisy de-
monstrations, but they withdrew when
they found the town thoroughly
guarded by gendarmes. The latter
have the streets so we'll patrolled that
it is practically impossible for rioters
TO assemble at any place in the town.
In the Liege district the strikers are
less violent. At Verviers, fourteen
miles east of Liege, the police have
seized the Office and papers of the sec
rotary of the Workmen's Universal
Union.
Advices from Liege say that quiet
has been restored there. The troops
which have been stationed at Charlie
roi and Liege are leaving those places
for Tourney and Mones. The Gov
ernor Of Liege has promised the strik-
ing miners that he will intercede for
them with their employers with the
object OF securing for the workmen an
increase of wages.

TERRIBLY BURNEU.
Two Lives Lest and Three Persons
PadIy IDjurRd,

BRoNsoS, Men, March 3O.-A fire
visited Bronson this morning, destroy
ing the fine new brick block OF stores
which was built last summer. One OF
the terrible features Of the fire is the
death of Mrs. Timothy Hurley and
her daughter May, aged fifteen years,
who were burned. Mr.. Hurley and
three children, boy aged sixteen, n
other ten and baby about two and a
half years old, are terribly burned.
Charles Straehly, baker employed
by Mr.. Hu ley, is badly cut about the
face and head. The fire company did
effective work, saving the business
portion Of the village. -Four stores
were burned loss $4,000. The bodies
Of Mrs. Hurley and the daughter have
just been recovered, but burned be-
yond recognition. Sheriff Whitaker
had one of his legs cut very badly by
the falling Of heavy plate glass. This
is the fourth destructive fire that has
ravaged Bronson within the last two
and a half years, destroying about
100000 worth of property.
