Protecting Their Rights.

Probably no concern in the country has adhered
strictly to the determination to achieve sue
cess by the liberal of printers Ink than has the
Brown Chemical Company of Baltimore, Md.
Starting business about five years ago, they have
expended 1900, 900 in the preparation and
circulation of printed matter, more than
half of which has been paid for newspaper
advertising. All this has been done to make known
the virtues of their celebrated Browns Iron Biters
Very large sales have resulted from this enormous
outlay. In fact. Browns Iron Bitters is about as
staple in many drug stores is flour the corner
grocery. Like all good things, Browns Iron Bit
tiers has been largely initiated. There unscru-
pulous manufacturers who cater just this sort
trade, and some dealers so lacking in principle
that because greater profit can be made on fraud
ulent than on genuine medicines, they are willing
to delude the public by pushing off Iron Tonic Bit
tiers and other Tonic Medicines in place of the
genuine Browns Iron Bitters, which is undoubt
edly one of the purest and best medicines known
These frauds have been practiced so extensively
that the Company finding all other means made
quate have at last determined to try little cold
law to put stop to them. Suits for heavy damages
have therefore been commenced against several
parties for selling Iron Tonic Btters, etc. We wish
the Brown Chemical Company every success il

MIR. GLADSTONE'S PLANS.

In the House of Commons on Thurs
day Mr.. Gladstone unfolded his
scheme for the pacifcation and gov
eminent of Ireland. The scene was
an extraordinary one: rarely if ever
equalled in the history of Parliament.
Not only was the chamber packed to
it's utmost capacity, but London it's
self was profoundly stirred by the
entity of the parliamentary house
and the premler's residence were
thronged. Mr.. Gladstone was heart
lily cheered by the multitude. His
speech was heard with profound atten-
ton by all, but the opposition received
it in silence. The Parnellites and
Radicals were carried to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm.
Mr.. Gladstone bases his scheme
on the failure of coercion for fifty
three years. ''The law was dis
credited in Ireland,' he said. 1t
came to the Irish people with for
eign aspect, and their alternative to
coercion was to strip the law of its
foreign character and invest it with a
domestic character. This is the key
to the scheme. Mr.. Gladstone pro-
posed an independent parliament
for Ireland, and the withdrawal of
representation in London. The Irish
legislature is to be composed of two
houses, made up of peers and repre-
sentatives. The first order of the
legislative body would consist of 1O3
members, the second order would con-
sist of 206 members. The viceroy
would be retained, land religious dis
ability would be abolished. The
constabulary would be retained tenn
porarily. The Irish legislature will
exercise all the powers of Legislation
and administration except such as
are especially reserved, among which
are coinage: matters relating to the
crown, the establishment of a state
religion and the laying of customs
duties. Mr.. Gladstone closed with
a magnificent peroration, which was
received with thunders of applause
that continued several minutes
The speech, which lasted three hours
and twenty-five minutes, was the
grandest of MI. Gladstone's Ions
and remarkable career.

Gifts of Poison

1t is time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the sup
preston of all gift, prize and lottery
schemes in connection with the sale of
articles OF merchandise. These schemes
are not only demoraliZing to legitimate
business and to the morals of the COM
munity, but in the extent in which they
are being carried IN the sale of articles of
food have become II source of great dam
ger to the public health. They are, no
matter in what form they appear, nothing
more or less than devices to swindle hon
est and unsuspecting people.
1t is gratifying to learn that in some
instances the officers of the law have TAX
en- hold Of the matter. In New York,
and also in Chicago, parties who in this
way offered gifts to purchasers of their
packages have recently been arrested
upon indictments for lottery swindling.
The latest candidates, both for public eX-
ecration and criminal prosecution, are
the manufacturers of the alum baking
powders, who are both by means of gifts
and lottery tickets, disposing of large
quantities OF their corrosively poisonous
to be detrimental to health that no house
keeper will admit them to her kitchen
knowingly. This form of swindle is not
only being peddled from house to house,
but under the promise of large profits to
be realized, the manufacturers are en-
trenching themselves behind this counters
of many grocers by getting them to offer
the alum goods with the gifts or lottery
tickets attached, thereby shifting the
liability to prosecution, in part, upon
other and, perhaps, innocent parties.
sells or offers for sale any Of the prize or
lottery baking powders is Il criminal in
the eye of the law, and liable, upon con-
viction, to fine and imprisonment, while
those who sell the gift goods are, moral
ly, as responsible, for they are offering an
inducement, or prize, to hOuSekeepers to
use food that contains ii corrosive poi
son. This is predicament in which it is
not possible our grocers will care to
| place themselves when they come to
| think seriously of the matter.
| 1t must be borne in mind that every
one of these gift or prize baking powders,
are alum baking powders. These pow
| derS cost less than four cents pound to
| produce; the gift or prize costs but a few
cents more. They are sold at the price
| Of a tilst-class baking powder, so that the
swindle, in Il commercial sense, is enor-
nous. But the chief inquiry of the bus.
mess consists in selling, as presumably
wholesome, an article Of a positively in
| furious character, by meaus of gifts OF
brides inducing servants or unsuspectine
houSekeepers to purchase and use it in
our daily food.
There should be some prompt method
of reaching these dangerous practices
and Furnishing the parties engaged in
their promotion. If the present laws are
not ample, we commend the matter tc
the consideration of our State Board O
Health for recommendation of such addi
tional legislation as shall be effective fol

Senator Morrill, had grand ova-
ton at his residence in Washington,
on the occasion of his seventy-slXth
birthday. A press report says;
"There is no man now in public life
more esteemed than the senior sena-
tor from Vermont, and his birthday
parties are always delightful. The
floral gifts in the senator's parlor,
were magnificent. The Presidents
basket, with the word 'congratula-
tons on his card, was the finest of
all. Next to this in beauty was the
basket of roses from Secretary
and Mrs. Whitney. A great many
kilograms and letters were received.
Among those who used the wire were
Mr.sBlaine and his guest, William
Walter Phelps. Nearly all the sem
ators were present with their wives,
and many Vermont friends. Among
the guests were General Edward Rip
ley, General Hazen and Miss Kate
Field. Most of the justices of the
supreme court were there and many
members of congress" The people
of Vermont will be glad to learn that
Mr.. Morrill, is in the full enjoyment
of health and vigor. He was first
elected to congress in 1854 and served
for twelve years in the lower house,
when he was elected to the senate,
and has seen over nineteen years of
service in that body. Altogether,
Mr.. Morrill, has served his state for
thlrty-one consecutive years at Wash
ington.

The condition of affairs between
the Knights of Labor and the rail-
roads and other corporations of the
country is not cheering. There were
strikes in many localities last week
in which thousands of men are en-
gagged with some trouble that threat
ems riots. 1t looks as though the
knights must either surrender in all
localities, or precipitate a general
strike that will involve every bust
ness in which one of them finds en-
ployment. This will be a great mis-
fortune and is liable to do the strikers
more harm than the corporations or
the public. There seems to be dis
position on the part of most concerns
that employ help to raise wages as
soon as the times will admit. If
there ale any corporations which are
.coiuing money while their laborers
are striving to keep body and soul to-
gether on inadequate wages. then

FEARFUL CYCLONES.

No less than six terrible tornadoes
visited Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota
last week. The most disastrous of
these struck the towns of St. Cloud
and Sank Rapids, Mimi, on We'd
nesday afternoon. At the former
place there was whirlwind about one
thousand feet in diameter. 1t took
almost every tree from the ground or
twisted it off at the trunk. Great
stones were torn up and carried
along with the wind, moving slowly
in a northeasterly direction. 1t
wrecked the Catholic chapel and sew
eral houses in Its course across the
prairie adjoining the town. 1t de-
molished j. Schwartz's large brick
house and scattered fifty or more
smaller frame-houses like feathers.
In most cases nothing was left to
mark the site of dwellings but the
cellars. The prairies were strewn
with timber, furniture and clothing.
The freight depot of the Manitoba
road was total wreck. Numerous
cars loaded with freight were blown
half mile and the rails were wrench
ed from the ties. 1t passed the linn
it's of the town just west of Lieuten-
ant-governor Gilman s residence, kill

The vigorous debate in the United
States senate during the past week
on the subject of open executive ses-
sions will undoubtedly make itself
felt on public opinion. And that
opinion already insists that the Star
chamber proceeding of closed execu-
tive sessions shall be put stop to.
General Logan is right in saying that
they afforded Senators the opportu-
nifty of talking one way in secret and
another way in open session. And
the movement for open sessions is
not a new one. 1t has prevailed
since Madison's time. The quicker
the Senate doors are open to the light
of day the better for the cause o.
public morals. 1t would do more tt

The Knights of Labor of Massa-
chusetts to the number of some 700
delegates, have been in council
during the week, and not only call a
halt in the admission of members,
referring doubtless to the character
and standing of many who have re-
Gently been admitted, but also deplore
the scenes of riot and bloodshed else
where, and endorse the Massachusetts
plan of peaceful arbitration. This
is reasonable and it is also reasonable
that the country will not stand any
such violence as has occurred in some
sections of the country.
