Blood and Money.

The blood of man has much to do In shaping
his actions during his pilgrimage through TINS
troublesome world, regardless OF the amount
of present or eXpectant money In pocket or
stored away in bank. IL Is conceded tact
that we appear rs our blood makes us, and
the purer the blood, the happier, healthier,
pretticr and wiser we are; hence the oft re.
peated interrogatOry, how Is your blood z
with pure streams of life-giving fluid cOurs'
ing through our veins, bounding through out
hearts and plOughlng through our physical
frames our morals become better, our constr
tuition stronger, our intellectual faculties
more acute and grander, and men, women
and children happier, healthier and more
lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparal-
leled curative powers, and the unmistaSable
proof from those of unimpeachable character
and integrity, point with an unerring finger
TO b. b. B.-Botahic Blood Balm-as far the
best, the cheapest the quickest and the
ever before known 10 mortal man, in the re
lief and positiue cure of ScrOfula, Rheuma
tism Skin diseases, all taints of blood poison,
Kidney complaints, old ulcers and sores, can
GERS, catarrh, etc.

mOnOpOlis's.
Letters from all points where introduced are
pouring in upon us, speaking in its loudcst
praise Some say they receive more benefit
from one bottle of B. g. Il. than they have
from twenty, thirty and fifty and even one

The late message Of President Cleve-
land is not relished in Mexico, in so far
as 1t refers to the rights of Mexico to try
American citizens in Mexico for ofienses
committed against Mexico on American
soil. The Mexican newspapers all stand
by the government in this matter and
claim that Mexioo's Interpretation is a
sound one in principle and approved by
the highest civilized nations. Does any
one imagine for one moment that Great
Britain would permit Mexican authori-
ties to try British subject for offenses
committed against Mexic on the soil Of
Great Britain? The cases are purely
parallel. American citizens have some
rights, and It Is high time that they were
more fully understood and maintained.

\ Good Work Accomplished BY

Through the intervention of the
knights of Labor, good piece Of Justice
has been accomplished in relation TO a
carpet yarn factory in brooklyn. Ger
tam young women employed in the
factory struck because the firm would
take no notice of their complaints against
some of the males employed. The mat
ter was inquired into by the knights of
Labor, and as a result one young rascal
of rs has been sent to the reformatorY
for insulting girl of - with indecent
remarks and proposals. and a foreman in
the establishment held in $1,000 To an
swer To the grand jury. This prosceCu-
tiOn attracted. as 1t ought, considerable
attention. A delegation representing
the Woman's Suffrage Society was pres
ent at the hearing TO watch the course
of justice. one of the ladies being in
tervIewed 10y reporter said: We came
TO see what course was pursued in this
matter. Ii is a disgrace To have men in

are endea Y II n 10 earn an honest living,
Industry Is next to godlIness, and women
who are compelled to work should have

man whose labor put hum in daily con-

respect them. and deserves to he severely
punished if he any way uses his power
To annoy them because thew turn away

should be safe in every factory and shop
