Beware of ScrohhQ

Scrofula is probably more general than any
other disease. 1t is insidious in character,
and manifests itself in running sores, pustular
eruptions, boils, swellings, enlarged joints,
assesses, sore eyes, etc. Hoods Sarsaparilla
expels all trace of scrofula from the blood,
leaving it pure, enriched, and healthy.
81 was severely afflicted with scrofula,
and for over q year had two running sores
on my neck. Took five bottles of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and consider myself cured"
C. f. LovEJoY, Lowell, Mass:

Law aud Order.

The Law and Order society of Phila-
delphia and the Hotel and Saloon-keepers'
union of that city seem to be in about
equally sad plight. Some days ago it was
discovered that trusted and responsible
agent of the smelling and prosecuting
organization had been in the habit of
taking and appiopriating to himself money
received from his victims for the settle
ment of their cases that this was in a
degree known to the responsible authorities
of the society, and the practice was neither
exposed nor suppressed. Now comes the
disclosure in a meeting of the other side
that the prosecuted liquor men have been
bnying off their prosecutors and the frank
.,y0wal of such practices at meeting of
tie nnion seemed to be followed by vote
of approval and endorsement
With blackmailing thus practiced on one
side, and invited and encouraged on the
other, it is very plain that the usefulness of
both associations is gone and that neither
ought to have any encouragement from
citizens-whether Prohibitionists or tavern
keepers-who believe in law and order, indi-
vidual rights and personal liberty for all
Of these can be consistently conserved. An
association honestly conducted to preserve
law and order is good thing and union
of persons engaged in business sanctioned
by law, to protect themselves from injus-
tice, imposition and blackmal, is a proper
thing, too. But when both are abused and
perverted, both should go down. The
Philadelphia exposures have local inter-
est, because the same management that
conducts the liquor union there has been
operating to establish and control union
here; its motives are open to grave suspi-
cion.
There is but one thing for the liquor
men to do; and that is to organize to OBJ
serve and enforce the law. They ask for
and take their licenses subject to it. Such
Of them as do not mean to obey it have no
right to protection, and those who faith
fully observe it have the largest interest in
{ compelling Others to do the same. The
liquor business has suffered in reputation
and respectability because of the lawless-
ness OF some engaged in it; they have
beenprotected by the mistaken sympathy of
their law-abiding associates, which should
be withdrawn. The liquor dealers them
selves should go into the law and order So
cieties and they will find a great many decent
people willing to give them all the protec-
tion that the law entities them to. More
they ought not to ask. Between the
icensee who violates the law and the sneak
and informer who levies blackmail upon
him the public mind makes slight discrimi-
9 tion. But for law and order everybody
ought to stand, and the liquor-seler who
does not may expect to fall, without grace.

DIR. T. r. EDEs JACKSON, professor of
chemical medicine in the Harvard Medical
school, has been telling some plain truths in
recent lecture on "Medicine as Pro-
fession." He notes the fact that n rst of all,
as means of competence, medicine is no
place to make large fortunes, but 1t is a good
place for comfortable living. English doc
tors who have visited our shores have been
much struck by the easy, comfortable condi-
tion of the body of our physicians, although
there are twice as many here for the popula-
ton as in England. There the great incomes
are greater, but the less incomes are less
One great draw back TO the profession lies in
the fact that the law offers 1t no protection,
as 1t does in other countries, The prospects
OF success were shown by statistics taken
from work by Mr. Piget out of 1000
pupils, over coo achieved moderate, &c con-
siderable, and % distinguished success. Re-
ferring to the supposition that the West Offers
larger opportunities for fortune az a physi-
clan, DIR. Jackson said that in Illinois, Idaho
and Oregon the ratio of physicians to the
population was the same as it is in the East
about one to every 400 or 500, or about twice
what 1t should be.

THE candidacy of Rev. Thomas X.
Beecher, brother of Rev, Henry Ward
Beecher, for mayor of Elmira, New York,
seems not to have been crowned with that
measure of success that its enthusiastic sup
porters were led TO expect When Rev.
Beecher was nominated as Republican and
Prohibitionist, he said that he ought to have
the support of all parties, because in his time
he had affiliated with each one of them
This view of the situation apparently was not
acceptable TO the voters, Tor John b. Stanch-
field, the former law partner of Governor Hill,
was elected as the Democratic candidate by
7OS majority though the Republicans two
years ago carried their candidate by T3
majority. Rev. Beechers congregation,
among whom he had labored tor 80 years,
took an active interest in his canvass, and a
committee of sixty Of them worked hard at
the polls all day. But it was to no purpose,
for when the sun had set and the ballots
were counted on Tuesday evening, it was
found iRat Stanchfield had been callei
and Beecher had been left. And this sug.
gests the query: who but a Beecher would
have seriously thought of combining the
offices OF preacher and mayor?

Not Proved, Ry a Long May.

1t must be admitted by those who have
brought the negro. Samuel johnson, to the
bar for the murder of the old Quaker, John
Sharpless, in Delaware county, that they
have as yet produced very little evidence of
weight against him, and they have brought
forth already their weghtiest testimony.
HIS conviction depended from the beginning
upon two lines of proof; first, his own con-
fession and, secondly, his Identification as
the murderer by those who are supposed to
have seen that person. On the trial there
have been offered the witnesses who saw
the murderer on that fateful night, and
none of them has identified the prisoner at
all positively; the negro companion, to
whom he is said to have admitted his guilt
gives very incomplete and unsatisfactory
testimony. Surely no jury will consent to
hang man on such meagre proof.
The zeal Of detectives to find some one
on whom to fasten a crime, rather than
| their ingenuity to discover The one who
committed it, is getting to be a character
istic of the police system of our country {;
and while the officers are engaged in find
ing or making clues to fit a theory deter
mined upon, valuable evidence and the real
criminal quite frequently get away.
That somebody murdered old John
Sharpless is indubitable; that the man who
is on trial did it is altogether doubtful
that it cannot be legally proved he did i:
| quite apparent; but that the so-called de
tectives investigating the case have faller
short is the plainest of all.

To Be Considered.


Now that the councils of the city have
taken further time TO consider the electric
light matter, question very well worth
mature consideration by the members is as
to whether the city should not purchase
or lease on electric plant instead OF buying
the light. 1t is a question which has
good many aspects, and one that should
be well thought over. The difficulty in
making contract for Lighting the city is
that it can only be made for one year,
and therefore the light cannot be
purchased cheaply. The difficulty in
the way Of the purchase Of plant by
the city is that it does not have the money
or the legal authority to borrow it. Another
hindrance is that there is no settled opinion
as to the best light to be had.
The city certainly with its own plant
and with proper management of it, could
obtain its light at much lower rate than
it can be contracted for. There is good
ground for apprehension, however, that
the plant would not be managed economi
cally and properly city affairs seldom are
Laziness, incompetence and dishonesty II
civic officials, experience teaches us, ais
always TO be apprehended.
The suggestion has been made that the
electric lighting plant should be put in
charge of the water department, and that
the power should be furnished by the facili
ties now possessed by that department ol
by moderate extension of them. Their,
would be evident economy in using thu
water works. power and administration Il
light the city, if the scheme is practicable
and it would seem to be at least worthy O
consideration.
