THE SKIN.
TITS DISEASES AND CURE.

This class of troublesome complaints
embraces large list, some of which
afllict nearly every family in the land.
Heretofore the treatment of nearly all
these diseases has been very unsatisfac-
tory and unsuccessful, and the people
have been very much deceived by pre-.
tended remedies. A majority are caused
by an impure, ritiated condition of the
blood, and as most of the blood remedies
of the day require so to 100 bottles be-
fore you discover that they will not effect
a cure, we offer B. B. B., which makes
positive cures by the use of only few
bottles.
The most common of the skin diseases
which are cured by the use of B. B. B.,
the only quick Blood Purifier, are as

Chief Arthur and the strike.

CLEVELAND, April 9.-Much mystery has at
tached to the movements of Chief Arthur, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Dis
patches from ST. Louis yesterday stated that he
was in that city in conference with the Missouri
Pacific engineers as to the advisability of the
latter striking in support of the Knights of La
Dor. As q matter of fact Mr.. Arthur is in
Cleveland and has not been in ST Louis since
Tuesday He was seen to-day and said: II at
tended no meeting nor conference of engineers
in st. Louis nor East st. Louis yesterday, as
stated No pressure has been brought to bear
upon me to order a strike in support of the
Knights of Labor on the Missouri Pacific, and if
such strike shall take place it will be without
my sanction. do not believe such action will
be taken, for our men have no grievance

UNoRGANIzED LABOR.

The Real Labor Question, as Shown by the
Tyranny of the Trades Unions.
New York Evening Post.
One good result of the discussions which the
recent strikes have called forth Is the growing
recognition by the public and especially of the
philanthropc portion of it, cf the fact that 'the
labor problem" does not affect the trades unions
simply. One great cause of the present troubles
is the assumption by political demagoeues. by
the press and worse than all, by the pglpit, that
all the laboring population of the country are
trades-unionists, that therefore the demands Of
the trades unions arc literally the cry of the
whole poor and have to be needed and dealt
with as such by every lover of his kind and Of
his country. Within the last week we have seen
many signs that both editors, and minister's and
public men are beginning to see the falsity and
danger of this assumption, and to see that the
trades unions do not present the labor question
to the public in its entirety by any means, and,
in fact, ignore some of its most serious aspects.
The great fact of the present situation is that
all strikes, except in some of the more highly
skilled trades, are not the refusal of certain
bodies of laborers to work for certain employers.
They are combinations to prevent, by violence
or intimidation, other laborers from working.
This is true, venture to assert, of niue out OF
ten of the large strikes 1t is pre-eminently true
of railroad strikes, and particularly of that GO
ing on just now in the Southwest. That strike
does not simply CONSIST IN the 6Dbb0uSlou Ikcu
work of large body of laborers It consists
almost wholly in the prevention by violence of
tho employment of another body Of laborers
by the railroad companies. At no time SINCE the
first week of the strike has there been we'vent-
ure to assert any difficulty in getting the guam
tity and kind Of labor necessary to move the
trains. In other words, for four weeks the traf-
fic on one of the great national highways has
been suspended, ard the business of three or four
great communities almost paralyzed, not be-
cause there were no laborers ready and willing
to carry on the traffic, but because large bodies
of trades-unionists have. by force OF arms, pre-
vented them from working. This same thing
was true of the car strikes in this city and Brook
lyn. IL is true of the strikes which have been
going on here Of late among the longshoremen.
Strikers in other words, in most cases, are mobs
engaged in preventing other laborers from exer-
csing the inalienable right Of laborine.
This means that there IL in this country, as In
all others, many il not more laborers, outside
the unions than in them They are probably less
skillful and less trained, but they are more IN
need of work, as well reader to work, than the
members of the unions They, too are Gods
creatures. They have all the demande on puolc
sympathy aud governmental protection WHICH

While Brown was speaking, Committeeman
Hayes walked excitedly up and down the plat
form. exclaiming in despairing manner. "Oh,
my God my God wish this had not hap
pened." His eyes were watery-he was almost
crying, and when he addressed the mob after
Browns speech his emotion choked him several
times, and he was obliged TO pause for utter
ance.s Hayes's speech was OF the same tenor as
Browns, as was also that Of Martin ONeil, who
followed Hayes. Casper Heep, another promi-
nent knight of Labor, who had arrived in the
meartime, was busy among the crowd, trying
upon the more excited individuals the arguments
which the committeeman were urging upon the
platform. After awhile the temper OF the mob
cooled down somewhat, and they dispersed, not
however, wholly pacifed. many of them threat
ening to avenge the deaths caused by the depu-
ties.
Mayor Joyce, after his encounter with the
deputies on the bridge, when he attempted to
arrest them in their fight, went through the ex-
cited crowds to his Office. He attempted to calm
the men, but found it useless The streets and
sidewalks were blocked with men, women and
children, who rushed in every direction at every
indication of trouble. Reaching his Office, about
an hour after the shooting, he at once issued
proclamation to close all saloons, and warning
women and minors to keep off the streets. He
was seen in company with Messrs Bailey and
Hays, Of the general executive COMMITTEES of the
Knights Of Labor, who were urging him to do
all in mis- power to calm the men. He said that
he had notified the Governor, two weeks ago.
