A corresnondent wants to KNOW

A correspondent wants to know
if we are opposed to Mr.. Thomp-
sons oyster law. Well, no. We
have not had the pleasure of reading
Mr.. Thompson's law. We objected
to the scattering of half a million
of dollars on the oyster beds of the
Chesapeake and its tributaries, as
we understand the bill proposes,
without first providing the means
of protecting the benefits expected
to accrue from such an expenditure
of public money. 1t is admitted
that the oyster navy does not give
protection to our beds in their pres.
ent impoverished condition. What
would be the result, after the half
million of the peoples money was
scattered on our beds, with no bet
ter protection than they now re-
ceive ? The oyster thieves and
their aiders and abettors would reap
a rich harvest, and would laugh at
the petty fines imposed by the pres
emit law. Make, as we said, steal
ing oysters as great a theft as
stealing a sheep, and send all those
found guilty, who had any part or
lot in the theft, to the penitentiary,
and there would be some sense in
spending money to resuscitate our
oyster supply.

We are indebted to Hon. E. x.
Wilson for a pamphlet copy of his
very able speech delivered a few
days ago in tina Senate of the Uni
ted States, on the Blair Educational
Bill.
tits decidedly the strongest speech
yet delivered in opposition to the
bill, but our distinguished Senator
fails to convince us that the mega
tive side of the question is the cor
rect one for an enlightened repre-
sentative to take. Education is the
safest foundation upon which re-
public can exist-indeed, the only
safe foundation-and as so large a
surplus of money has found its way
into the treasury as to alarm the
distinguished occupant of the White
House, we know of no better way OF
disposing of goodlY position of it
than in making strong and broad
the main foundation upon which
our free government rests. Stats
tics show that illiteracy is on the
increase inthis country. Our pub
lie schools for want of adequate
means, are unable to cope with this
growing evil. What better use then
can Uncle Sam make of his trouble
some wealth than BY fostering the
means Of educating and enlighten-
ing his children

YEARS AGo.-The Springfield Re-
publican publishes a portion of the
address Of James Bartlett. an old
citizen Of Detroit, at the semi-cen-
tennial Of Michigan Mr.. Bartlett
is an intelligent workingman and
no rhapsodist. He had long been
a machinist in Massachusetts, when
young, and spoke of things within
his own knowledge. His own rec
objection went back forty years,
for he first began in 1912, in ma
chine shop employing about fifty
men on cotton machinery for Low
ell. lie said
"The wages of a machinist in
this shop were 81 to $1.@5 a day;
one nabob of pattern maker re-
ceived the sum of $3.50. They
went to work at o'clock in the
morning and worked until 7.30 at
night, with an hour for breakfast
and three. quarters for dinner. 1t
was several years before we obtained
eleven hours a day. 1t has now
been ten hours a day for twenty-five
years or more, and We grumble at
that, though we may get more than
twice the wages we did forty years
ago; and we are hoping to get the
same or higher pay for working
eight hours. / know the condition
of the machinist is better then when
l first joined the guild. He has
better pay, better houses, better ed
ucation, better living; and | hope
he will keep on improving for tho
next fifty years. Large machine
shops were started before 1886.
One in Lowell employed over 1000
men on cotton machinery. Now
the country is dotted with them.
For my part, | don't want any more
of the good old times. The present
time is the best we have ever had,
though / hope not the best We shall
ever see. In fifty years We have re-
duced our hours of labor from four
teen to sight hours day, our wages
are doubled, and the necessaries of
life are much cheaper Ia barrel of
salt, which cost $3.50 years ago,
has been sold in Michigan for rs
cents). The great curse of drunk
enness is very much diminished.
We live in better houses, better
warmed and lighted, and we are bet
ter clothed; high school education
is in the reach of every child; books
are free to all; the poorest laborer
who meets with an accident in our
streets will receive surgical aid that
no king could purchase fifty years
ago. Our great railroads distribute
the fruits of labor so that famines
are impossible. Beef killed on the
prairie is sent all over the country,
aud supplies the markets Of Europe.
Fish from the salt seas and from
our great lakes are eaten fresh all
over the continent, and tropical
fruits are peddled round all our
streets"

BoiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after comparative
~ brief trial.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, OF Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years lie was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbunclcs, of which he had several
at one time. lie then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofmla, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants. Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes. glandular swellings, weak
aud wasted muscles, caprieious appe-
tie, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations Of n scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disf;sured by pimples, erupiions,
anil unsiglitly blotches, which arise

Acr's Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.

has yet been discovered but, as at least
four-fifths of human diseases have theii
source in Impure Blood, medicine
which restores that fluid from de-
PRAYED to a healthy condition comes as
near being a universal cure as any that

affects the blood in each stage of its
formation, and is, therefore, adapted to
a greater variety of complaints than any
other known medicine.

VIOLENT ENDS TO SEVERAL DISCOVERIES OF HIDDEN
TREASURES
From Chambers Journal.
There is singular superstition in the mining
districts Of America that the discoveries Of hid
den treasures In the bowels Of the earth are sure
to meet with violent end. Many instances are
om time to time adduced in support OF the state
ment and go far to show that numbers OF adven-
turers literally die In their shoes. The original
proprietors OF close on forty successful mines
have been accounted for In this way Twelve
were shot, three were engulfed while the rest
disappeared In the cities OF Dakota and New Mex
leo and were never heard OF afterward. George
III. Fryer, from whom the Fryer Hill mine had its
name, committed suicide IN Denver. Two years
before his death he possessed 81, 100000; the ex-
penses or his funeral had to be paid by the author
tiles. The discover OF the Standard mine In Call
fOrnia was swallowed up By an avalanche. Colonel
Storey, another wealthy miner, was killed by the
Pyramid Indians. VIM Fairweather, who brought
to light the hidden treasures OF Alder Gulch came
Ia his death BY drtpk1ng aud uotous living. The
owner OF the H0mestake mine became highway
man: one day he attack ID y mail coach, but the
attendants shot him dead. John Homer, OF the
Homer mine, spent his last Cent and then put a
bullet through his brain. "Doughnut Bill, "'"Old

A Novel Southern Tournament.

From the DE Land (Fla.) News.
There was gander-puiling here ON wednesday
last. Perhaps some Of your readers do not know
what gander- pulling means. Well, 1 will try and
describe 1t. large gander Is procured and a
grain-sack drawn over its body, neck and wings
left loose. Mr.. Gander is hung, head down, to q
pole. which Is placed across fence, SO that man
on horseback can reach and take hold OF the gan
der's neck. Now comes the laugh. Any person
wishing to get the gander pays % cents for thr
rides He starts his horse, a few rods away, at a
high speed, and when he passes the gander he
catches him by the neck and pulls his head OF,
1. e., II he can. Some friend OF the gander has
creased his neck we'll with lard. and It seems that
no one can hold on TO It. We had extra scenes at
this show. First, the horse that John Davis rode
stumbled, threw Davis over his head, and turned a
sommersault. This created a great deal OF sport
The second scene was c. B. Pelton riding mule
When he passed the gander he caught him by the
neck with both hands, but he could not pull his
head OF. He hung on for dear life. His mule left
him, and he found himself sitting on the ground
I think everybody laughed until they cried. The
poor old gander was taken down and sent home as
well as usual, from all appearances.
