Consumption
Conquered!
WHEN THE DOCTOR COULD DO
NO MORE.
CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawlev
St., : Boston, Mass, writes

St. Boston, Mass, writes:
"One year ago was apparently so far
gone with Consumption that my life
seemed only question of days rather than
months. With my faith in the ability of
physicians to help me all gone, tried al
most every known remedy, with no appar-
ent benefit. Finally, as last resort, was
induced to try DR.. r. G.. Flowers Lung
Cordial The very first dose gave me re-
lief, and with the first bottle took new
lease OF life, and can honestly say to-day
that one spoonfi of this remedy is worth
more to the sufferer from Lung troubles
than gallon of any other known remedy.
A bottle of it is now one of my choicest
possessions, and at the first symptom of
cough or cold, fly to it for the relief it
never fails to give"
DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR
DIAL is without question the most
wonderful Lung remedy ever dis
covered. 1t eradicates the germ of
CONSUMPTION AS NO RENE
DY HAS EVER BEEN KNOWN
TO DO. 1t stands without a rival
for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON-
CEIITIS, ASTHMA and CON-
SUMPTION.
Price $1.00 per bottle. A copy
of DR.. Flowers Rules for the
Treatment of Consumption accom-
panies each bottle.

nounce the notions and ideas Of Socialism
and communism that have been promulgated
as editorial in its columns during the last few
days. The Journal does not believe the News
has been in its right mind, and is not inclined
to hold it to any strict account for its utter
ances during temporary alteration. When
an able journalist gets notion that he would
make good candidate for Congress, on a
tabor PLATFORM you cannot tell what sort Of
dances he may indulge in. He is almost as
bad as preacher who thinks he has 'calp
in the direction of Washington.

The Pan -theon of justice-the Law De
partment under Attorney general Garland.

THE cock-sparrow at the head Of the PEN
sion Bureau has shown himself to be worthy
the hearty contempt of every honorable man.
Last December he issued an official report
written in November, at least, in which he
asserted positively that under a former ad
ministration, understood to be that of Colonel
Dudley pensions had. been granted or with
held according to the politics of the APP
plicants. This was stated as broad
ly and as Extensively as it could
be put. Senator Harrison introduced reso-
luton Of inquiry, and the Senate committee
called General Black before them. He was
at once asked to give any cases of this kind,
if he could, and he replied that he could, and
plenty Of them. The committee met again
on Wednesday, and the. question was repeated,
when this libeler and slanderer of better men
attempted to crawl and crawfsh. 1t is
four months since he wrote his report,
and now, after that lapse of time,
he is not able to adduce single instance to
support his infamous charge-infamous to the
former administration, if true; infamous to
General Black, if made without the most COM
plete and unquestionable proof. That he had
then, and has now, no such proof is evident
from the shutting manner in which he
met Senator Harrison's direct questions
Even Democratic authority is compelled
to say that General Blacks testimony was
not satisfactory. This man, who draws one
hundred dollars month pension from the
government by special act, under the plea
that he is totally disabled, and yet is able to
hold and draw the salary Of fat government
office, should be made to understand that
neither his official position nor his extraordi-
nary pension is sufficient warrant for his in
discriminate and baseless SANDERS upon better
man

How comes it that when DR.. Rogers ap-
preached Samuel 8. Cox and Samuel j. Ran
dali with tender of stock in the Pan-electric
scheme they refused on the ground that they
did not care to compromise their official
honora They were members of Congress at
the same time Senators Garland and Harris
quickly accepted the same. Is it possible
that professional politicians like Cox and Ran
dali have higher sense of honor than has
the President The idea of getting some
thing for nothing is not at all hateful to this
great "reform" administration.

ACCORDING to Albany papers, Mr.. Mat
thews, the colored man lately appointed by
the President as register OF deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia. is very offensive PARTISAN
outdoing his most rabid white brethren in
pushing Democratic interests by Objectionable
means. This information was to have been
expected. It is in the nature Of things that
the zeal Of new convert to any belief should
exceed that of those born in the faith. and it
is notorious that when negro SO far forgets
what he and his race owe to the Republican
party as to join the ranks of its opponents he
becomes an INSCRIPTIONS enemy. It is hardly
worth while, however, to raise objections to
his appointment on the ground of offensive
partisanship. Those who are opposed to him,
and they are many in Democratic circles.
should remember that, under the present dis
pensation, partisan is only recognized by the
authorities as Objectionable when he is Re-
publican.

OPEN THE BOOKS.

Exhibits have already been published show
ing in part the increase of taxation to which
the people Of Center township have been sub
jected during Mr.. Kitz's two terms as trustee.
It has been explained that the township
tax specifically so called, is levied on the
property of the entire township, and that the
taxes for township purposes roads, special,
school, tuition and poll-are levied alone on
the property and polls of the township out
side of the incorporated cities and towns
therein.
The tables heretofore submitted show that
in the three annual levies made by Smith
King no township tax" whatever was i'm
posed; that during the-two years of Harvey's
term only one was made, l. g., in June, 1880,
at the rate Of l cent (o1) per 800. The same
tables also show that during Kitz's two terms
-four years-three levies were made on &C.
count Of the township tax fund.- amounting
in all to (.05) cents per 500 on the taxable
property of the whole township. The ap-
praised value of the property of the entire
township. for the purpose Of township taxa
ton, has been during the whole of
the period, by this calculation, $780,
1865. The increase of taxation on ac-
count Of the township tax" fund during
four years of Democratic management is thus
shown to be as follows: The total amount of
this tax levied by Kitz, aggregating during
his term cents per $100 on the $50, It's, 6S5,
has been $50, The total amount of
the like tax levied during the five preceding
years of Republican control king and Har-
vey) i. e., l cent per 800 on the above ap-
praisement has been $6,O17.56. Difference
on this account alone in favor Of Republican
township trustees $24,O7728. The table
shows that the rates Of taxation for the other
township funds were also large increased dur
ing kits two terms. The taxes realized from
levies on account of the township tax" fund
cannot be lawfully used for any other purpose
than the payment Of the trustees salary and
office expenses, 80 that Kitz cannot claim that
the large sum realized has been legally ex-
pended.

The iquor-dealers of Cleveland have organ
lied '1eague for liberty, justice and order,
the purpose of which is to continue the sale
of liquor in open saloons on Sunday All
friends of personal liberty, irrespective of
political parties, are invited to cooperate to
this end. A determination is expressed to
break down and defeat this ''puritanical'
idea. It may not be apparent to these men
that they are inviting the overthrow of the
liquor traffic, but that is what such an on
slaught on the peoples day Of rest and quiet
means. The record Of the Sunday traffic in
liquors is leprous with crime and disorder.
Sunday picnics, with beer, are disgraceful
nine times in ten, and the open saloon, on
that day more than any other. is the cause of
much lawlessness and crime. The signs of
the times are that the saloon must go. 1t is
folly to precipitate matters by encroaching
upon the peoples patience.

THE DAY OF ARBITRATION.

The Knights of Labor are to be felicitated
on having such a man as Terrence V. Pow
derby at the head of the organization. Tenn
perate and conservative, or fortified with an
educated judgment of men and affairs, he is
the one man of thousand to fill the very re-
sponsible position he does. In his in
terview at Kansas City he speaks as a man
fully impressed with the responsibility resting
upon him. His actions are those of leader
who desires to avoid hostilities, and who would
conserve the interests of the thousands who
look to him for guidance and advice. A strike
or boycott may be ordered without his consent
or knowle dge, for he is in no sense dictator
and the several divisions appear to exercise
the greatest freedom in determining what
they shall do. But the example ofsuch man
as Mr.. Powderly, a man in whom his associ-
ates seem to have implicit confidence, is such
as to exert wholesome influence on all. It
is standing protest against not only violence
in any form, but against arbitrary strikes
as well. He says he never ordered a strike in
his life, and has always been so successful in
adjusting differences between employers and
employed that in but two instances did he
fail to secure hearing and settlement when
he set about to do So This is splendid rec
ord, and commends him alike to capital and
labor as the friend Of each. If the same man
can be the friend of each, it should be appar-
ent that each should be the friend and helper
of the other. A realization of this fact would
60 far toward rendering strikes unnecessary
Mr.. Powderly, standing as the laborer's rep
resentative, declares TINT the day Of strikes is
already past, and it is his opinion that the one
now vexing the people and interfering
with the traffic of the Southwest was unnec-
essary. 1t is to be hoped that he will succeed
in demonstrating that this is true, and to
make 1t plain where the fault arose and how
such difficulties may be avoided in the future
If the railway managers were to blame at the
outset, it should be made public; and if it at
taches to the Knights, this should be admit
ted. The truth, in any event, should come
out fully and fairly. 1t is asking too much
to believe that either side is always in the
wrong Men in all walks of life are liable to
make mistakes and he who is not willing to
admit the possibility of being in error is the
more likely to be wrong. But it must be
conceded that the answer of vice-president
Hoxie places the responsibility for the exist
ing trouble on the Missouri Pacific upon the
shoulders of the knights, and they must
either very clearly disprove it. or else with
draw their organized opposition and allow
work and business to proceed antecedent to
an adjustment, else they cannot expect the
sympathy and countenance Of the people,
There can be no fair arbitration Of differences

THE determination of the House election
committee against the claims of Frank H.
Hurd to the seat now occupied by Represent.
alive Romeis, is in the interests Of law and

large majority Of the committee, this expecta.
ton Of Mr.. Hu"d is not likely to be realized.
