is IT WORTH Anything?

To feel absolutely protected against Fever
and Ague, Malarial fever, Typhoid fever, Typhus
fever, Gastric fever, Bilious fever, Diphthera,
Pneumonia, Scarlatina, Summer Complaint,
Blood Poisoning, and all and every form of COM
mon disease?
Is it worth anything to be able to etfectually
cleanse the blood in your entire system, to renew
your youth, and invigorate all the organs of your
body; to permanently cure Costiveness, Dyspep-
sia Water-brash, and sour stomach? To cure
Jaundice and stoppage of Gall ducts to cure
Sick-headache and Biliousness, to cure Liver
complaint and Cancerous liver, to cure Kidney
diseases of long standing? To be free from Govt,
rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and kindred
troubles?
Is it worth anything to enjoy good health. to
have good appetite and to sleep well? If all
these things are worth anything, you secure
them almost for the asking. We know from long
experience that this statement is true, but we
also know that few will accept it as truth. Moth
ing but actual experience in the use of Parsons
Pills could bring person to realize fully their
marvellous power to prevent and cure disease.
Are not you willing to take our word to run the
risk of being swinded, SO to speak. out of %
cents. for the possibility of securing such great
blessing as we know Parsons Pills would be to
you? If you should once become acquainted
with these Pills, you would never cease to be
grateful.
Parsons Pills were wonderful discovery, and
there are none others like them in the world.
1ue lHlOGllillOn contained III inc wrapper
around each box is worth many times the cost of
a box of the Pills. We use the purest drugs to
be found in the known world; but even these, be-
fore being used are subjected to the peculiar
purifying process known only to the chemists art
If families and individuals could only be made to
realize the marvellous power of Parsons Pills
in the prevention and cure of disease, and in
promoting the general health, vast amount Of
suffering and expense might be prevented
Our business was established in 1870 and is the
oldest of the kind in this country. Is it, there
fore, likely that we would put forth an untruth-
full or deceptive statement? Frauds and false
pretenders do not remain long in business in this
country. We suppose that Parsons Pills may
be found at your nearest store but if not, we
will send one box by mail, postpaid, for % cents
i'll stamps Or We will send two boxes of Pills
and a beautiful engraving of President Cleve-
land and his Cabinet for so cents. all postpaid.
The engraving is 24x3O. and retals for so cents
We will send free to all who send us their ad-
dress handsome illustrated pamphlet contain

ANATfONAL TRIBUTE
To BE Paid TO the Memory of Gen.
Grant q Riverside

NEW YORK, April EN- the early part
of March U. S. Grant Post No. 327, G. A.
r., OF Brooklyn applied for and received
from the park commissioner of New York
the privilege of decorating on Memorial
day the tomb of Gen. Grant at Riverside
park. Originally 1t was intended TO have
only the post participate in the service.
Gen. Logan was selected as the orator OF
the day, and the secretary of the navy
promised to detail man-of-war to fire
salutes at Riverside. When these facts
were published they created general feel
ing of interest in Grand Army circles, and.
in response to numerous letters and sug-
gestions On the subject, it was decided to
make it national affair. So far as now
arranged the services of the day will include
the Grafton by Gen. Logan. player by the
Rev. r. S. Storrs, ID. D.. of Brooklyn.
singing by the Amphion Musical society, a
salute and salvo of artillery by the Eleventh
regiment and the First battery, National
Guard of the State of New York. and min
ute guns fired by man-of-war Of the United
State navy. Gen. Sheridan and staff will
be present also the department command
ers of Massachusetts. Pennsylvania and
New York. The following departments
and states have been heard from and will
be represented in the services: Massachu-
sets, Connecticut New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania. Maryland. Ohio,
Iowa, Kansas, Florida, Utah and
Idaho A hearty letter has been
received from r. z. Lee Post confederate
veterans. of Richmond, Va, paying tri-
butte of respect 10 Gen. Grants memory.
and saving that the post had decided to
send suitable Offering to be placed on the
tomb. Department Commander X. b.
Brown of Ohio writes: Il take the re-
sponsibility of assuring you that Ohio will
be represented. The garlandlng of the
tomb at Riverside should be a national
Offering" The military order of the Loyal
Legion will participate in the ceremonies.
| Senator Edmunds wrote that he would use
all his influence with the secretary Of wal
TO have the West Point cadets in attend
ance. 1t is expected that 100, 900 persons
will be present. The governors of all the
states have been invited.

THE NEW RAILROAD WAR.

The general public will view with con-
siderable equanimity the statement that
the dissenslons existing in the Northwest
ern Traffic association are likely to result
fast trains between Chicago and ST.
Paul. There is no reason why this should
not be the case. If the rail journey can
be shortened several hours. as is admitted,
the public should certainly be accorded that
advantage. There can be no justification
for the system which has hitherto
been in force of arranging all sched-
ules to correspond, so that no
matter if one track might be
shorter than another the trains running
over it must not arrive earlier than the
trains over much longer roads. If some
method of equalization is considered neces-
sary it might be arranged by different rates
of fare. The fastest roads thus being, as
it were, handicapped by being obliged to
compete with the slower roads which would
be allowed to carry passengers for lower
rate of fare. But whether or not this pool
ing arrangement is reached. the publics
demand that it should have better railroad
service should no longer be denied. There
is every reason to believe it will not be.

THE NEW ARMY BILLS.

Senator LoGAN's bill for the increase of
the army has latterly given rise to a good
deal of acrimonious debate, in which
good many wholesome truths have been
spoken by the opponents of the measure.
There is no need in this country for large
standing army. The present establishment
is already large enough for all practical
purposes except according to the officers
whose chances for promotion are at present
not very flattering. In the minds of many
discerning people there is no doubt that
even the present army is much larger than
necessary, and that reduction rather
than an increase should be considered.
This is the idea of Senators CocKRELL
and PLUMB. Their brilliant eulogies of the
citizen soldiery and their services in the
past and the certainty with which it can be
counted upon again in the future. if occa-
sion requires will be reechoed in many
hearts. The emergency is conceivable In
order to meet which the maintenance of a
force of regular soldiers would be advis-
able, chiefly upon the score of constant
readiness. But an occasion of such a ma
ture is of such extreme improbability that
the regular army could without risk be cut
down to very meagre proportions, Just
enough in fact to form a nucleus for the
citizen soldiery. 1t is not beyond the range
of possibility that in the near future the
training of soldiers by the national govern
ment will be limited to the education at
West Point of a large number of young
men who on graduation will return to civil
life. but who will be ready to respond TO a
call for their services should the country
require them.

THE MEXICAN PENSION BILL.

With the passage of the Mexican pension
bill the already overcrowded pension rolls
will be materially added to. There should
of course be no disposition to withhold
government aid from those whose injuries
received in the services of their country
have incapacitated them from earning a
livelihood or have retarded their efforts in
that direction. But it is becoming a
serious question whether liberality in the
matter OF granting pensions is not being
Overdone. This is a wealthy country, it is
true and country which appreciates to the
utmost the brave conduct of its defenders. but
it is not rich enough 20 add millions annu-
ally without necessity to the list of its eX-
penditures, nor should it be generous to a
degree which will cloud its idea of Justice
or its common sense. Those survivors OF
either the Mexican or civil wars who re-
turned home from the fields of battle unin
jured and were able to resume their accus-
toned occupations have not needed the
small bounty of IS per month. In the in
dividual case it is too small to be of ma
terial assistance, while in the aggregate the
amount to be paid from the treasury of the
national government is an extremely large
one. There can be no doubt but that those
who were named should receive monetary
compensation, but the chances are that
when all able-bodied man asks for a pen
sion it is either because he has been too i'll
dolent to exert himself in gaining a live
hood or he is being mstigated by design
ing pension agent Help the needy, but
let the hearty and strong help themselves.
