The Reason Why

Ayers Pills arc so popular Is, that
while always reliable Is . cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This Is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are SO
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. D. W. Bsine, New
Berne, n. c., writes:
81 suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until l
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. 1 took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"

lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.

THEN N NOW.

In referring to some comments made
BY this paper on the shutting DOWN of
the Laramie glass works the Sun says
The LEADER cannot forego the pleasure
of making a point against the Republican
party whenever it thinks there is
the slightest pretext for it. The passage
of the Mills bill, it adds, would have
been a bad blow to the glass works of the
country, and must have proven especially
injurious to new enterprises.
Could the passage Of the Mills bill have
exercised a worse influence over the Lara
mic glass works than the triumph of the
protection idea has already done? The
works have closed down indefinitely. and
ifthe Mills bill we're now a law no greater
calamity than this could have befallen
them. The point which we made was
that if the aute-election Republican
promises dove-tailed with post-election
facts. ,n5 works should have been en-
larged and the output increased 500 per
cent
The Sun ascribes the suspension chiefly
to local causes. The Laramie Sentinel
gives four satisfactory reasons, the first of
which is the most important. 1t says:
Since this fire started up, September l.,
there has been a general Generalization
in the glass industry in the east. Tie
Manufacturers Union has gone to pieces
and a reneral cut in prices followed and a
depreciation of fully 30 per sent in the
prices of glass is the result.
Nov, the certainty Of an advance in the
price of glassware in the event Of Re-
publican success was the main reason
urged by the Republicans on the glass
blowers and others to support their ticket.
Had the Democrats been successful no
better reason for the closing down Of the
glass works would have been sought than
the impending passage of the Mills bill.
Other reasons given by the Laramie
paper for the closing down are a drop in
freight rates between Denver and Chical o,
thus allowing eastern glass to be laid down
cheaply in the Rocky mountain region;
the disproportionately heavy expense con-
nected with running a small plant as com.
pared with a large plant aud the difficulty
of replacing incompetent or drunken
skilled labor.
The SIM seems to be under the i'm
preston that the Golden glass works
compel d Tor business with Laramie. They
did not. Bottles are manufactured at
Golden and window glass at Laramie,
consequently the two plants worked alto.
gether different fields. We sincerely
hope that some a will be found to work
out Of the difficulty and resume the
manufacture Of glass with the certainty
Of reasonable profit.

The rroduction of Petroleum.

In the Revue do Deux Mondes NJ. de
Tchihatchef, whom 1t would probably
be safe to take for a Russian, has a strik-
ing article on the sudden rise of Russia
as n competitor of the United States In
production of kerosene. Some abate-
ment may properly be made from his
confident predictions on account of the
unconcealed partisan bias with which he
writes; and his figures leave something
to be desired on the score of entire self
consistency n recentness, but what he
has TO say is nevertheless well worth the
attention OF our oil producers. He makes
1t evident, in the first place, that the
only rival of the United States at present
In sight is Russia. Following a late
French estimate of the worlds produc-
ton of petroleum, putting the total at
100, 900 900 hectoliters, II appears that
the United States furnish 1000, 900,
Russia %, 1000, 900, and all other countries
only II 900, 900. In fact, while deposits
of oil have been found in many parts of
the earth-as in Burmah, China, Persia,
Egypt, New Zealand and most of the
European countries-their extent is SO
limited and difficult of operation 80
great that the race has narrowed down
to the two contestants named.
The principal oil fields of Russia are
found within a limited territory. The
famous wells are almost all situated in
the peninsula Of Aspheron, which runs
out into the Caspian sea at a point not
far from the southern Russian boundary.
Baku is the port whence shipments are
made. The great natural advantages of
the Baku field are the compact terri
tory to be worked, the small depth of
the wells, and their great steadiness of
flow. The whole area worked does not
exceed !, 100 square miles. Set this W
against the area estimated for the United
States = 571 ,24O square miles and
the richness of the Russian wells
which produce at least one-third
AZ much as those Of the United
States, will be at once perceived.
The depth of the wells runs from 100 to
$40 feet. One famous well Is but thirty
three feet deep, yet Out of it the oil jets
up to the height of 246 feet. NJ. de
Tchihatchef asserts also that the average
flow In the Baku region is SO, 900 pounds
per day, as against %, 800 in the United
States.-New York Times

YEW A CALLS.

There is an effort on foot to bring back
from its desuctude the custom of calling
On New Years day, says a writer in the
Chicago Times. 1t was abused, like most
of the good things in this life, until it
was rclegated beyond the social boundary.
There have been sermons and lectures and
essays on the custom, but the whole list of
objections To il may be boiled down into
the one statement that it was abused.
The call should have been confined to the
friends OF the family and the parlor should
have been L-ld for brief reunions instead
Of a bar room. There never was any rea-
day where he had not been admitted be.
fore. unless, Of course. the call was made
by request or the caller was accompanied
by a friend of the family. 1t is the curse
OF United States society that it has no
bolts on the doors. No gentleman will
take umbrage at the dictum Of any parent
which makes the gentleman establish his
reputation as such, and the mother who
opens the door of her house to anyone
who presents no other credentials than a
dress suit need not 20 into Mysteries later
on when her daughter elopes with a cheap
imitation or does something worse.
For one | hope that the custom of call
ing on New Years will remain consigned
to disuse. | find that the principal NOV,

who expect to make something out of it.

country! Must everything depend UPON
