ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

Hardly week passes without the men-
tion by ythenewspaperso ofsudden deaths, and
of late the alarming frequency OF the state
ment that death was caused by rheumatism
or neuralgia of the heart cannot fail to have
been noticed. In all probability many deaths
attributed to heart disease are caused by
these terrible diseases, which are far more
dangerous than Is generally considered. ls
there any positive cure? TIE best answer
to such a question is given by those who hoUe
been cured by the use of Athlophoros.
Greenfield, Mass, May 10, 1886.
/ have been troubled with rheumatism
in one of my knees for years, being at times
laid up for several days. Athlophoros has
entirely cured me. 1t has also cured two
friends of mine who were the worst cases
ever saw, one of them a young man only
16 years old, who was so bad the doctors
gave him up. Two bottles of your remedy
entirely cured him.
GEO. w. SPURR, Mgr Diamond Soap Co.
October IA, 1885.
Two bottles of Athlophoros cured me Of
infammatory rheumatism. My family
physician advised me to take it, saying he
had done all he could, but could not give
me any relief; but Athlophoros drove it
away, and l am happy to say it has never
come back. My daughter was also cured
BY half bottle after suffering the pangs
Of rheumatism. Mrs. JANE DowEEY,
"a Pleasant St., Waterbury, Conn.
Northampton, Mass, May 81, 1886.
For many years have been subject to
rheumatism in its worst forms. During my
last siege of sickness was induced to try
Athlophoros, and found. it to be all it
claimed to be, a cure for rheumatism.
LEVI I. CLARK.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., 1I2 Wall St., New York, will
send either carriage paid on receipt Of
regular price, which is $1.O0 per bottle
for Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in
digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseasei
of women constipation, headache, inpurt

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF RAIL.
ROADS A FAILURE.

The Louisiana Legislators might
with rropriety read and ponder over
the following:
ga second plan for making competi-
tion public benefit has been that Of
state ownership tf part of the CONS
peting lines. 1t has been tried on a
large scale IN Belgium and Prussia,
and on q smaller scale In most other
countries, the United States not ex-
cepted. 1t was thought by the adv0>
Gates Of the system that the govern
ment would thus obtain controlling
influence over the railroads with which
1t contracts, and be able to regulate
their policy by It's example. These
hopes have been disappointed. The
private railroads under such circum-
stances regulate those If the govern
ment far more than the government
regulates the private railroads. There
Is no chance to carry out any schemes
of far-sightsd policy. If the private
roads are run to make money, the
government re ads must be managed
with the same end in view. The tax.
payers will not let the COVE! nmeut
lines show deficit while competing
priva e lines ray dividends. No ad.
minis; eatjon would dare to allow such
a thing, however important the end 10
be attained. AS matter of fact the
government roads of Belgium and
Germany were as r. .dy 10 give rebates
~ the private line; with which they
came into competition. In Belgium
they went so far ss to grant special
rates to tho :e persons who would agree
not to ship by canal under any circum-
Stances. The eame thing bas been
done in New York Safe, but In Bel
GUM the peculiar thing was that the
canals and railroads both belong TO
the government, and yet were fighting
one another in this way. This system
If partial state ownership was hardly
distinguishable in its effects from elm
pie private owne: ship. This fact has
been clearly recognized within the last
twelve yea,s. Within this period,

management all but universal, Italy

THE LIEN LAW.

Appreciating the depressed condition
of the agricultural interests Of the state,
suggestions of remedy for the evil
were "in order." Hence it was that
the idea of repeating the crop lien law
says Col. Battle Of the Shreveport
Journal, himself an ex-State Senator,
was seized upon by the press and,
indeed, a very large elias, of planters.
We have already dissen.ad from this
view, apprehensive that the remedy
might prove worse than the disease.
The following article from the Iber-
vile South is directly in point and
appears 10 US unanswerable
In the name of our plan ers aud their
tenants and laborers we protest against
the abolition of the lien law, which has
given security and protection to the
merchant and in many instances pros-
perity and independence to the plau-
ter.
Many of our planters have been able
to work out of debt under the opera
tions of this "0dius lien law" and are
now able TO run their plantations with
their own money, and we venture TO
say that without this law they would
to-day be penniless. Abolish the law,
and in this very parish, accounted one
of the most prosperous of the state,
more than twenty plantations will
change hands in less than twelve
months.
We have known plantations mort
gagged to the extent of from $4,000 to
$50, GOO, whose owners obtained money
t. meet the heavy demands incident
to their cultivation by recording lien
on the current crop in favor of the
much-abused merchants. We have
known this state of'things to continue
until, in many instances, the planter
was clear of the merchants hooks and
has made money enough besides to pay
off the mortgages against him, and still
have sufficient surplus to run his
business. There are planters through
out the state whose condition is analo
gous to that of these cited above, and
to them the lien law is their all-with-
out it they are made paupeis.
No planter is compelled to bsrrow
from the merchant, bat when he does
the merchant, falling back on the law
for his protection, demands lien on
his crop if his property should be
