SOME weeks ago City Attorney Web
ster presented a claim to the council
for several hundred dollars paid out for
Office furniture. What became of this
extraordinary claim we do not know.
1t was without precedent and utterly
i~ndefensible. No city attorney from
George Pritchctt to Charles F.. Mander-
son and Henderson down to w. }. Con-
nell has ever thought of such a thing
as asking the city to pay for furniture
for his private law Office. Mr.. Webster's
predecessors were not as well paid as he
is by fully one thousand dollars a year.
Nor did any Of Mr.. Webster's predeces-
sors have an assistant at 81 500 a year
TO relieve them OF the police
court work. And now the council
has voted Mr.. Webster $3.50 for office
rent. Why should the city pay any
part of Mr.. Webster's Office rent any
more than they should pay for his office
furniture? Doesn't 5000 year COM
pensate him sufficiently for the service
he renders the city? If Mr.. Webster
is entitled to such an allowance the as
sistant city attorney will have a right to
bring in a bill for office rent.

THE w~orkingmen of Pennsylvania
have arisen in the very strongholds Of
protection to protest against the sham
cries raised by the advocates Of trade
restriction and monopolists. Labor will
no longer have the wool drawn over its
eyes when it finds itself robbed on one
hand by trusts and on the other by i'm
ported cheap labor in those very indus
tries most highly protected. The Phila-
delphia Workingmen's Tariff Reform
association adopted resolutions demand
ing that congress shall revise the tariff
laws as will remove the burdens OF tax
alton from the raw materials of industry
ana adjust the duties on man ufactures
to the differences in labor cost between
this and other countries.

Small Comfort For This Section.

The annual report Of President Adams
of the Union Pacific, for the year 1887,
affords the stockholders of the road
plenty OF food for reflection. There is
a ro~se-coiored tinge to it that will leave
a favorable effect upon Union Pacific
securities in the market.
During the past year the value OF the
Pacific traffic increased over 50 per cent,
which is, of course, a most gratifying
showing. For the business of the pres
ant year, a large amount OF new equip
ment, both motive power and cars, is
necessary to accommodate the rapidly
increasing traffic of the company. For
this purpose Mr.. Adams estimates that
three millions must be expended during
the current year. But while the
rolling stock is to be improved Mr.
Adams does not contemplate the
building of new lines until

Chicago Journal: A strange occur
renee happened on q suburban train on
the Northwestern road the other day.
B well-dressed young man wheeled a
baby carriage to the baggage car and
checked it. Placing the ''brass" in his
pocket he took a seat in one of tho
coaches. The carriage was covered.
Some of the young men who usually
ride in the baggage car started to
wheel and fool with the carriage.
1t fell over on its side, but was re-
placed. One of the ''boys" asked the
baggageman what was in the vehicle
whether it was''white or black. HE tore
the covering off and there, sleeping the
sleep of the innocence lay a baby boy.
Through all the jolting and tumbling
that the baby received he never awoke.

THE question Of paying for several
deputies for the city treasurer $3.50 a
month each came up for discussion be-
fore the last council meeting. The
simple duty of the council is to limit
the number of deputies in that depart
ment to just one. This is the law as
laid down in the charter. I If the treas
urer needs more deputies he must pay
them out of his income which, by the
way, is not inconsiderable. The coun-
Gil has no discretion in the matter so
long as the present charter remains in

THE cordial reception rendered to
Carl Schurz in Berlin and the official
character which gave color to the re-
cent dinner in his honor was intended
as a token of the friendly feeling Of
Germany toward America. But more

abilities and character of one OF Ger

country achieved renOwn as one of the
foremost apostles for the abolition of

His mind was weak and irresolute, his eye
lost It's clearness, his brain its incisiveness
and power Of acumeD, his strong hand its
steadiness, and the great work Of his life
palled upon him. His family and friends
became greatly alarmed, and while most
anxious to call in physician, hesitated to
do so, fearing both Its effect on him and
its effect on his followers and the cause he
SO nobly championed.
1t was, therefore, necessary for them to
select some well.known and reliable rem
edy that would build up and invigorate his
brain and nerves, give new life, strength,
and appetite, brighten the eye, clear the
skin, and by producing healthy, natural
sleep and rest, allow nature herself to aid
In restoring the worn and exhausted tissues
Of the brain.
There Is but one remedy that can do this
and do 1t harmlessly, and Gladstone him
self knew II quite as well as his family. In

be found, combined by Natures deft flu
gers, Avenesca for healing the nerves and
promoting sleep and calming irritation;
Soluble Dat Phospholds, the natural food OF
the brain and nerves, and Boskine, t1at
peculiar principle from the oat hnsk to
which oat meal owes its laxative action OF
the bowels.
What finer combination The three fairies
OF the oat kernel. The first to calm aud
sooihe, the second to feed, nourlsh, aud
build up, and the thlld to cleanse and pur.
ify the stomach, blood, and bowels.
Do they do this? Look at Gladstone.

hausted, debilitated, nerveless, hypochoE-
driacal, neuralgic, parayzed, and hopeless
