I.ure For Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by 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-
geston are present, flatulency, uneasiness OF
the stomach, etc. moisture, like perspira-
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind Bleeding, and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR., Boskano's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, sllaying the
intense itching, and efecting u permanent
cure. Price, so cents. Address, the DR.. Bos-

THERE is nothing to show that the re-
cent railroad strikers had any connec-
tion with the Chicago riots. Chicago
has been the headquarters of American
socialists, or, more correctly speaking,
anarchists for some time. The papers
have frequently given specimens of their
inflammatory speeches and incendiary
harrangues, but in the freedom of speech
enjoyed in this country, no attempt was
made to suppress them. Now that these
opinions have been concerted into overt
acts, subversive of law order and all
social system, 1t is time to show by in
disputsble proofs that these designing
and dangerous men cannot introduce
their European tactics OF destruction
into this country. Those who have
sinned without law, have suffered with
out law-those who have sinned against
law must suffer by the law.

the response OF Mr.. Hoxie to the
order of the General Executive Commit
tee raising the Southwest strike, is d.
rect, to the point, manly, and in accord
anoe with the terms of agreement en-
tered into between Messrs. Gould and
Powderly at New York. The text of
these instructions will be found in our
telegraph summary, and we invite at
tention thereto. These orders will do
much to allay all feelings of bitterness
remaining between the road and its en-
ployes, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the business OF this great South
west will not again be interrupted by
such strike while this republic endures.

IhE LINES TRADE.

The old adage, Whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad" never had
a more fitting Illustration than in the
screed of the Times in its yesterdays
issue, in which, referring to the action
of the Typographical Union, it says:
Does it not seem little strange that the
chief engineers OF this movement against the
Times belong to the LIGHT Office. The editor
and foreman of that paper and the foreman
friend" are running the scheme. Inc Times
has been cutting into the lIGHT'S subscription
list, and Mr. NcwCUmn Is going to start new
paper Something dcspCrai" must be done
Hence this game, but il is blocked.
The Times wilfully, deliberately,
coolly and malicious utters an untruth
when it says that the editor of The
LIGHT is running the movement against
the Times. The editor Of The LIGHT
has made no reference to the Times in
its relations to the Typographical
Union, and the columns of The LIGHT
are in evidence. The LIGHT has made
no reference to the subject, beyond
printing the Assembly resolutions en-
dorsing the Typographical Union, and
this without comment. The LIGHT has
made no attack upon the Times, but has
kept profoundly silent concerning the
whole matter, deeming the course OF
the Times sufficiently disgracing to the
press fraternity of the city without Civ
ing unnecessary publicity to its dlsrepu-
table methods. Neither the foreman Of
The LIGHT, nor the foreman's "friend"
have any authority to speak for The
LIGHT and for their action as members
and officers of the Typographical Union,
The LIGHT is in no way responsible.
Being Union office, The LIGHT is natu-
rally in sympathy with the Topographic
cal Union in its war against rat print
ing office, but that sympathy has been
suppressed, and in no instance has it
been allowed to find utterance in the
columns OF The LIGHT. la making this
gratuitous and utterly unprOyoked at
tack upon The LIGHT, the Times
has simply revealed the bitterness
OF its own heart, the malice Of
its own nature, the untruthfulness Of its
own mind, and the ingram meansess of
lut sOul vi Tic lndH WuO ptnntu inc
paragraph above cited. AS to all else
contained in that paragraph THE LIGHT
has nothing to say. So long as it issues
its numbers regularly, pays its bills
promptly, lives up to its obligations as
Unien Office and keeps Its 0aths invio-
lated, it can afford to pass in silence all
reference to its business. 1t has not,
however. as yet, been reduced to the ex-
tremity of undertaking Union labor
on the plea of poverty, nor Of cutting
prices below living rates in order to Sc
cure patronage. 1t has always esteemed
the laborer worthy Of his hire, has al
ways been wiling to pay fair days
wages for fair days work, and, unsub-
sidized by either municipal or State in
terests, manages to pay its way and pre-
serve its self-respect. When 1t can no
longer pay the prices for labor that all
other reputable printing offices in Texas
pay it will not ask its employees to lose
$500 year to keep the machine run
ming, but will gracefully take down its
sign and discontinue business.

of all Baking Powders composed of Cream OF

The Waco Examiner is fertile in CO.
nundrums. There is richness" as the
renowned Dick Swiyeller would say, in
some of the situations presented by the
sage OF the Brazos, truly refreshing.
Speaking with reference to Major
Boone's candidacy the Examiner evolves
the following truly Delphic utterance:
The people of Che whole state feel deep
and abiding interest in the political fortunes
of Major II. II. Boone, and all hope that the
DeopIe of the district will honor themselves
by electing him for congress by an immense
majority.
The whole state is supposed to include
for all practical purposes the people Of

In DAKOTA where coal is scarce and
wood nil the farmers are trying flax as
fuel quite successfully. A ton of flax is
considered mores valuable for heating
purposes than a ton ofsoft coal. In Min
nesota pressed hay is used for the same
purposes and is said to yield fair results.
1t is much cheaper than the flax, but
does not emit SO much caloric. In some
sections of the great northwest. in years
of great corn abundance and exceeding
ly low prices, ears of corn are burned
for fuel. There is heat enough In a
good bushel Of dry corn to warm sheol,
and in perfectly air tight stoves, with
fire clay Innings corn can be economically
and satisfactorily used as fuel. The one
necessity is to deaden the draft, as the
process of combustion is very rapid.

THE pure democracy are going back
on the present administration in way
that is neither childlike nor bland.
"Brlck" POmerOy, by whom the whole
democratic party at one time swOre and
whose died in the wool "BourbOnism"
one questions is among the number who
rises to explain concerning the present
condition and future doom OF the old
barrel party. The Louisville Courier
Journal has not been backward in CON-
Ing forward to speak its little piece con-
corning the nearness Of the last ditch.
The utterances Of both these sources of
democratic knowledge. these fountains
OF perennial inspiration for the 'unter-
rified" are good reading. They contain
solid food for reflection and quite square
ly intimate that the mugwumps have not
been means of grace for the salvation of
the doomed democracy. The conclusion
Of Brick is that three years more of
Clevelandism and the democratic party
can be covered with buffalo robe and
left for the hearse. The Courier Journal
thinks that though the party still lives
1t is best to prepare for the inquests as
Mrs. Darlington would diagnose it as
having "twO-buckles on its lungs,
brown creeturs in its throat and mug
wumps in its stomach. There seem to
be poor prospects ahead and the enact
ated old General Debility" has little
prospect of life liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.

BOOne's district; and If the people OF
the whole state" take a deep and abid-
ing interest in Major BoOne's political
fortunes" of course the people Of his
whole district must take such deep and
abiding interest. Such being the case,
where is the room for doubt or fear con-
corning that gentleman's election? The
ratiocinatiOn of the Examiner lands
him in Congress by the "deep and abid-
ing interest" OF the whole district, and
yet the Examiner merely expresses
"hope" of his election. Is there after
all subtle irony in the Examiners
words, and does Barlow intimate that
the whole people Of BoOne's district
take a deep and abiding interest In
keeping him at home? Verify the conun-

The Brooklyn Magazine has been pass
ing around the cOnuRdrum, when should
girls marry? Louisa NJ. Alcott retOrts
that the question "when shall our young
men marry?" is much more important
question. Between the two society will
find Outall it will ever know about, 1t for
it may be accepted as pure matrimonial
gospel that our young men will marry
about the same time that our girls will,
and the girls will be welded on time
with our young men. This way of set
fling the question reminds one of the
farm hand who, having finished his fall
work, was thus Intercepted by his EN-
ployer: "Well, Tim, and where did you
leave the plOw?" "Shure, sire, an left
it with the harrow" "But, Tim, where
did you leave the harrow "Bedsd
thin, left that with the plow." Eyes,
but you blockhesd, where did you leave
them both?" both, is it; how stupid
yes are; shure left them both togither."

THE LOCUST FEAST.

The poor tribes on tue western
slope OF the Rocky Mountains (sOch
as the Diggers and Flatbeads
among the smaller tribes along the
Pacific Coast), are poor creatures,
and they add to their scanty food by
killing the grasshoppers and locusts
which infest the country. These
Indians live on small animals, game,
rabbits, birds, etc., fish (Which they
get in abundance), and have re-
course, in hard times, to the grass
hoppers, which abound very thckly
in their country. They build a ffe
in the center of the PLAIN
and then scatter themselves
over several. acres these Indian
in a circle, with bunch Of
grass or weeds in each hand, and
whipping the ground and driving
the grasshoppers towards the center
into the fire and smoke. They con
time this for quite a time, and then,
after this fire has sufficiently roas'en
the grasshoppers and locusts, they
sit down IN a groop and pick up the
grasshoppers and eat them, making
q grand feast.-Americdn Agr'eaF
