Jackson, the Common Sense liniment
man, has occupied Il good deal OF
space in the papers Of the county, and
Of course everyone understands that
he PAYS for it. Ii is Il fact that he pays
Just as he agrees to Il penny. and IS i'll

Meeting Mr. Whitman our veteran
hveryman, ON the street, we asked him
for his candid opinion of JacksOns
remedy, without regard TO anything
except its true value as II medicine
for horses. Mr.. Whitman is man
who would condemn fraud very
quickly, for his years in the manage
nent OF horses make him Il competent
Judge He said he considered Jack
sons liniment Il very good thing III
every respect, and that it accomplished
lust what was claimed for it. Mr..
jackson Is too thorough h0rsman to
claim that it cures everything, but it
is certainly the best thing ever intro
duced in the way of Imminent.
Farmers have come to Mr.. Whitcome's
stable this week and asked where
they could get the liniment, adding
that their neighbOrs had tried it and
found 1t Il splendid thing. Mr.. Sears
whom every one ~ Carroll knows, is
earnest in his praise of the linlment,
declaring that it has saved him Il good
horse. And several others who tried
the thing say that it really does do
Just what is claimed for it.
Mr.. Jackson has spent time and
money in bringing this before the
people. He has been liberal, aud 1t
is only right and just that this ptpcr
which has been representing his goods
for pay, should take this method of
saying that there is the best Of evidence
for the statement that JackSon's RENE
dies are indeed honest goods, and we
believe no man buying will ever be de-
ceived in the least with them. They
will always be on sale in Carroll here
after, and in every town in Carroll

A View That Has Much Sense i'm 1t.

| Hon. Albert Willis, of Kentucky, is
Democrat who by no means repudi-
| ates the old Jacksonian doctrine that
to the victors belongs the spoiIs, but
believes that Democrats should have
| the offices under Democratic admin
istration, in which view he is backed
by great bulk of the Democratic par
ty. yet he recognizes a good effect in
the slowness with WHICH the President
has made official changes, putting his
views of it as follows:
l am heartily in favor of the Democrats
hoving the offices, but can see MANY good
reasons for the Presidents slowness in this
respect. II Mr. Cleveland had changed all the
offices the day after his Inauguration and an
election had taken place the next dav, the
Democrats would have been Overwhelmingly
defeated. 1t would have put the business
men against them because Of the inefficiency
of the green men, and arrayed all those who
were disappointed against us. He is making
the changes gradually, and so maintaining
the efficiency of the public service and allow
ing the heart -burnings of the disappointed
to die out before new ones are caused The
too, we have had a hostile Senate. Cleveland
has been reproached for retaining Conger as
Postmaster at Washington. Icertainly have
no sympathy for Conger po liticaly but he is
"a son of Senator Conger, member of the
post-office committee, and if his son had
been removed hundreds of new appolnt-
ments would never have gone through the
Senate.
There may have been some reason
for retaining Republican incumbents,
but as that reason is every day losing
its force on account of the experience
tle Democracy has gained in admins
tering thu public affairs, the rascals
should now be turned out as rapidly as
possible.-Beltefonte Pd.l Wdtchnaan.

NUMBER %.
Our Hall Bedroom.

We've wash-stand, bureau, and table,
Two chairs with the rounds dull red.
So that when we are honored with callers,
We're obliged to make use of the bed.
And carpet by no means Brussels
Beneath us refuse to sink;
With great big black spot in the center
The place where l once spilled the ink.
There's the cheap little clock on the mantel,
That is either too fast or too slow,
But it doesn't excite any wonder,
Since it stopped just twelvemonth ago.
And the pictures of Bella and Fannie,
Our comrades of many ball;
With smiles on their bright, pretty faces,
Beam down on us both fl ON the wall.
What times we have had here together!
What wit we have passed round our board,
While we've drunk with rare gusto our
coffee,
And eaten our hen fruit boiled bark!
And at night, when we've brought the guitar
out.
What rolicking songs we've gone o'er,
TOO needless, perhaps, of the feelings
OF the people upon the next floor
It's queer little den, our hall bedroom,
Reached by stairs that are rather ANTIQUE.
But you couldn't expect things much better
For only two dollars week!
And though it be ever so humble.
Like John Howard Payne we might roam
And yet find no place that is like it,
For remember, my boy, it is home!

How Labor Gets the Best of Capital.

1t is often said that capitalists take
advantage of laborers, and to some ex-
tent this is doubtless true. But, on the
other hand, labOrers often get the best
of capitalists, and that, too, without
knowing or intending it. Only about
five in hundred men who, in one way
or another, may become possessed OF
capital, retain it through their lives.
The rest lose it. Some speculate with
it, and it passes from their hands as
the result of unsuccessful gambling,
by investing in enterprises which fail
| to pay. Now. what is the process of
inyestmenG The capitalist laws ont
money in carrying out his undertake
ing; the returns do not equal the ex-
penses; he lays out more to keen the
business going until the returns shall
increase; they do increase but do not
exceed the expense enough to make
living profit and replace the former
outlay. Or they still fail to increase
and he expends more and more which
does not come back to him, till at lssk
he stops spending. either because he is
alarmed at the prospect, or because he
has exhausted his capital. oan not pro-
ceed, and he is poor man.
Now, IN either oase, what has be-
come of his oapitale 1t has been paid
out for labor. While the business has
gone on, he has employed. of necessity.
n number of persons to do the work
whereof 1t consists. If he has needed
material, he has had to pay other
workers for preparing and transporting
this material. If he has bought q
building he has paid for the work of
erecting it. If he has hired cne, he has
paid for the keeping and repairing of
it. 1t he has used fuel, he hns pail for
the mining and cutting of it, and for
carrying it to the place of use. In one
or anther way nearly all of lis expend-
itures have been for labor. Even the
expenses of his household have been
for work i'm constructing, furnishing or
conducting the establishment. He has
given employment to servants and to
workmen Of many kinds.
AT the close of his operations he
stands, if unsuccessful, no better Off
than any workman he has employed
in fact, worse off; for the workmen
have received the money wherewith
ne has parted, have been paid for their
work, while he has not been paid for
his work and has lost his money.
When the workman hears demagogues
about the tyranny OF capi-
tai, !" he should look not only at the few
successful capitalists, but at the many
who have failed; and when he remem-
bers how all these failures have
the return Of capital into the
hands of the laborers, he will see that
very little of the great mass of wealth
produced by labor is really consumed
ny any one but laborers and their FAM
lies; that it simply passes through the
capitalists hands from one set of labor
RS to another, and that the successful
capitalist does service TO society by
preserving part of it which would
otherwise be consumed.-TheP Printers

A Hopeless Effort.

The National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union make an appeal to
| the trade organizations to assist them in
carrying out their work of reform, for
| they probably understand that the
most powerful temperance movement
ever before known will be that under.
taken by the workingmen.
Yet these women will be disappoint-
ed if they expect to induce the work.
ingmen to vote only "for such measur.
es and such men as are solemnly COM
mitted to the prohibition of every
brewery, distillery, and dram shop in
the nation" The people who are en-
gagged in getting up the la Dor party do
not seem to have any disposition to
help along prohibition or to feel any
interest in the subject. Mr.. George,
their candidate in New York at the
last election, is himself a moderate
drinker, and when he was questioned
during the canvass as to his position
with reference to the liquor saloons, he
took care to give an evasive anwser.
How many German votes would he
have got if he had "solemnly commit
tied" himself to the prohibition of ev-
cry brewery? Why, the larger beer
saloons were the gathering places for
great part of his followers.
At the last election in this city, too,
the Prohibition vote for Mayor was
only few hundred, though that party
seemed to have an abundance of money
to expend on the canvass and in get
ting its tickets before the voters. 1t
produced no impression at all on the
wOrkiDgmen, who were concerned on
ly, SO far as they were interested at all
in the subject, in manifesting their
strength as distinctively Labor
party.
Some of their leaders, like Nr. Pow
derly, may be in favor of temperance
simply as help in maintaining their
self-control and self-respect, but we are
not aware that any of them have dared
to come out in advocacy of prohibition
Mr.. George certainly is neither total
abstainer in practice nor does he preach
total abstinence. He wants followers,
and knows very we'll that he cannot
hope to keep the German Socialists
within his heterogeneous party if he
goes about as an enemy of the brewer
les. He does not even venture to talk
for what kind of show
would he have made during his cam
vass if he had introduced that theme
into the scores of speeches he delivered
in larger beer saloons? Moreover, he
is an extreme free trader. and believes
in no other taxation than the taxation
of land, and therefore cannot consist
emily favor either the taxing of liquor
or the prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of liquor.
But the workingmrn. without refer
ence to him, are beginning to become
practical temperance reformers. They
may not be prohibitionists, for such
they could not be and retain the hard
sense for which the more intelligent of
them are distinguished, yet they have

come to the conclusion that they have
been drinking too much for their own
good. They have learned that rum is
their worst enemy, and that they cam
not hope for social advancement until
they so treat 1t in their individual
practice. When this conviction be-
comes general among them, and they
proceed to act on it, the greatest and
most effectual OF all temperance move
ments will have begun. But they will
have to take the step OF their own mo-
ton. Outside pressure will rather him
der than help them to the decision.-
