A Multitude of Ailments.

The ailments which afiict the kidneys and
bladder are so numerous, that merely to name
them would I'LL Il space far outrunning the
limits OF this article. Suffice II TO say, that
they are both obstinate and dangerous. To
their prevention Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is well adapted. The stimulus which IL lends
to the'action of the kidneys when they are
lctharyic, serve to cOunteract a tendency in
them to lapse. first, into state of pernicious
inactivity, and afterwards into one Of positive
organic disease, which soon destroys their
delicate intoguments, .pOisons the blood and
this depurent. 1t promotes activity of the
blood which have no natural channel Of out
let except those organs. Constipation, bilious
ness, fever and ague, rheumatism and dys.
pepsia, are also remedied by this medicine Of
thorough action and wide scope.

About ll:30 this morning, two en-
ployees of the street car line, engaged in
a fisticuf at the turn table on Houston
and Soledad, and then clinched and
wrestled until an old man that was pass
ing by interposed and separated them.
The pugilistio knights rushed to their
waiting cars, boarded them, and left the
battlefield in a rapid trot. The police
man arrived on the spot after the fight
ers had left and no one were able to
give their names. One Of the fighters
was tall man, and the other was low
man, and those who saw the fight from
the start, informed the reporter, that
the low man began the row by striking
the tall man in the face twice.

TOWN LAND.
TO He HiorhmeH's Adrocatc:

When the buildings are completed up- on the new town farm it is proposed to remove the inmates of the old AlmshOuse to the new and divide the old farm into building lots and sell them. As a citizen of the town l wish to protest against the sale of any land that does or may belong to the town. Instead of being sold let it be leased to citizens who wish to build homes for themselves, thereby enabling those who have means enough to build a house and perhaps not able to buy lot also to have a home of their own. These lands are doubtless very valuable for building purposes; blt the lands are val uable because of the great increase of population. If the population was no greater than when these lands were bought by the town they would be no more valuable now, but the population will go on increasing accompanied with a corresponding increase of need for land for homes which will carry with it an advance in the market value of land, therefore it would be a sound policy for the town to hold on to this land and use it as indicated in the interest of the com mnnity. If the land is sold it will very likely be gobbled up for purposes of spec ulatlon, while if poor man wishes a lot for a home he will he compelled to pay a large profit to the speCuator before he can build his house; therefore much of the land will be held against the people who want it for homes.
 Ky the way at the last town meeting motion was made that future town meet ings should be called at 5 o'clock in the evening, so that the worknen (who pay burden of taxation) might attend and have voice in the tax to be levied. The motion was greeted with shouts of deri- siye laughter and voted down by il deci- sive majority. was surprised that so fair a proposition should meet with such d reception. but when we consider that the town meetings have in the past been attended by those who are interested in extracting as much as possible from labor in the shape of rent and interest; we can readily understand why they do not want the common people to meddle with the public affairs.

TRADES COUNCIL MEETING.

At the meeting of the Trades Council last Sunday, the various trades reported as follows: Typo graphical Union, fair; Cigarmakers' Progressive-International Union, No. 67, unchanged, fair; Cigarmakers International Union, good; Tailors,as usual. dull at this season; Barbers. fair, with request for patronage of union men. A communication from Chicago to carrlagemakers, asking for a convention of unions or assem- lies, was referred to the proper body. The report of finances showed . slight balance on hand. A com munication from a 6ogus c0ininittoo was turned over to the source from which 1t pretended to come for ln- yestigation. The uniform quiet i'll the various trades was considered too unusual to last long, and 1t was predicted that before long the apathy would be taken advantage of by the employers. An unofficial communi- cation. from the Merlden Trades Council was received, desiring closer relations. It was tabled till official notice came, but with favorable mo- tice of the idea.

TO He WorL'men'S Adtocnte:

As to the best method of reducing the surplus of Sl00,O ,00O, which annually acrumulates in the United States Treas ury, am disposed to favor the plan pre- epnted by the republicans" Namely to strike off half of the duty on sugar ($26, 900 ,0OOl, to abolish entirely the tax on tobacco (3S, ,0OO, O001, and to make al cohol used in the arts, free Il ,00O OO0j; altogether making a reduction of S6j ,O0O GOO in the revenue at blow. A reduc- ton in the price of necessities, sugar, and the luxury, tobacco. k something which every workinglnan can understand and appreciate: 1t appeals, ao 1t were, directly to his appetite. Moreover such meas ures would in no sense throw open the labor market To foreign competition. which reduction in the tariff would certainly do.
 An amendment to this proposition. however, suggests itself. l recommend the abolition in it's entirety of the tax on alcohol and spirituous liquors By no method can the evils of intemperance, he so readily and surely abolished as by free trade in rum.' Asthe result of such a proceeding, the corner saloons would rapidly disappear. Every grocery and drug store would keep liquors in stock; every man could afford to buy his beverages by the bottle take them home with him, and drink when he saw fit The ultimattln would be the abolition of excessive drinking. It is not so much the quantity of liquor which is consumed that tends to create and encourage drunken ness, but the fact that headquarters are licensed for tine purpose of turning out drunken men. This creating of drunk ards is such a profitable occupation, that the authorities incorp rpOrate monopoly in the line, and derive q handsome reve- nue therefrom. When men drink alone, by themselves, and for their own account, there will be little or no drunkenness. It is standing up at the bar and indulging in rounds of treating that leads to excess, and places a legal bounty upon the heads of sots.
 To talk of prohibition is the merest folly. When we can prohibit human nature; when we cause the sun to stand still, and prevent the earth from turning upon its accustomed axis, then, and then
 
 law enforced. Meanwhile, all statistics show that drunkenness is rapidly decreasing in the United States. The system of treating is also disappearing. and there will soon be no work for the lecture mountebanks and contortionsts who have so long swindled the public under the guise of philanthropy.
 The decrease of drunkenness has been to great extent, due to the introduction here by the Germans, of their national beverage-beer, which has steadily and surely supplanted whiskey, and to the general advance in intelligence of the working classes. Only through the con tinued progress in education and intelli- gence of the working people, can we look for the abolition of intemperance prohibitionists to the contrary notwith- standing, NEuBRE.

SONG OF THE LADDER.

Written for the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE. Some people have luck, without talent or
 brains, While others attain tC their ends with great pains. But among the successful too many we find Who would kick down the ladder by
 which they have climbed. To-day honest labor submits to abuse, It's vote is adapted to corporate use. But election day passed, labor drops out of mind, And they kick down the ladder by which
 they have climbed. Now, fortune is tickle and favors are rare, And the best studied plans often vanish
 in air. So, 'tis best, tho stern destiny seems to
 us kind, Not to kick down the ladderb by which we
 have climbed. For perchance, ere we safely arrive at
 the top, Our visions of glory may suddenly drop. And then to our basis no pathway we'll
 find, For we've kicked down the ladder by
 which we had climbed. So, all ye ambitious men, young, old or
 gray, Who intend with the votes of your broth
 CTS to play, In all your intrigues let this caution re-
 mind: Don't kick down the ladder by which
 you have climbed. But stand by the men who have stood
 fast by you. Be honest. be faithful in all that you do. And when Death makes his call as he
 must do in time, ]; Friends will brace the last ladder by
 which you may climb.

Beginning with the first issue of 1887 the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE will be dated on Saturday instead of Sunday. as heretofore; so that the next number will be dated Saturday, January 1.
 Now is the time for the building trades to make their arrangements for the spring season. A thorough union of all of them would be bene- ficial to the members of the most favored of all the handicrafts. And we don't see why the architects and draughtsmen should not be organ ized on an industrial basis and in- cluded in the union. We hope soon to hear of some practical work in this direction in New Haven.
 The idea preached at last Sun days Trades Council meeting of an alliance of some sort between the Meriden and New Haven Councils is a good one and should be deyel- oped. The trade interest of the two cities are close, and by united action some good in the way of organizing more thoroughly and uniting new trades might be accomplished.
