THIS is SPRING LAKE.

Where all is awake for the fishes sake
For without rod, hook bait or spear,
Can just pick them up by hand on shore

So it's not necessary to bring in that little
fee.
Now, friends, don't get such low notions on
rice
That Spring Lake sells everything at half

But one dollars worth of sugar may vary

My mother has had cough for twenty
years, pneumonia leaving her with bron
chial trouble. Two years ago, her lungs
becoming involved, she became very much
emaciated and lost all stgength, being
under regular treatment Of a physician
and taking medicine all hours of the day.
This continued until a year ago when I saw
your advertisement of Acker's English
Remedy for Consumption and procured a
bottle, as the tickling in her throat was
unremitting and so irritating as to make
talking inpracticable. She was so much
relieved that another bottle was procured
and we now buy by the case, she never being
without it. She has no physician and
takes no other medicines. She remarked
lately that if she had not procured it when
she did she would now be dead.
We have recommended it to others, who
always receive benefit from it. If any one
desiring further particulars will address
me with a stamp | will answer with pleas
ure,, as deem it the best cough medicine
made.
A trial only is necessary to convince
anyone Of its merit. Yours respectfully.

THE first nail has been driven in the
coffin OF trusts, by Judge Barrett's decis-
ion in New York, which, If sustained by
the court of appeals will entomb the
monster forever. This case was brought
by the attorney general to dissolve a
corporation that had entered the North
River Refining company on the grounds
that by becoming member Of the trust
it thereby forfeited its charter. The ques-
ton whether or not society can interfere
with private individuals as well as cor
porations when they combine to control
the price of any article of general con-
sumption, was involved in this case, and
Judge Barrett held with the attorney
general, that society has the right to
protect itself against injury from any
source whatsoever. This is sound law
and is the death knell to the gigantic
monopolies that threaten our govern
ment; the creation Of which has been er.
roneously charged to cur syttem Of pro
faction.

territory to meet at their respective
county seats on Monday, February IS,
1889, and elect delegates to a constitu-
tional convention to assemble in the
opera house at North Yakima, March 19,
1889, to take such action as California
did toward statehood 80 years ago
And that the proceedings of this conven-
ton be ratified by the people April 10,
at which election state officials and
representatives to Congress be elected
That the Legislature elect, meet at Olym-

senators, and then go to the national
capital and demand admission on July
4th. 1t also calls on Governor Semple
to issue such proclamations as may be
necessary to give this plan official sane
ton, and presents the state constitution
made for Washington eleven years ago,
suggesting that the convention take 1t
for the basis of the new constitution.
To say the least, the Farmer means
business, and were it not for the fact
that our present Congress is Jealous OF
its power and dignity, the plan might
succeed.

The columns Of a paper are pub
lisher's stock in trade, and the parties
who ask to use them for their special
benefit should expect to pay for the
same. Every public-spirited citizen
should have pride in seeing his town
and surroundings improve; every new
house, every road, every new manufac-
turing establishment erected, every new
business enhances the value of property
in our midst. Every rejecting mind
knows this to be true. and it should not
be forgotten that the local newspaper
adds much to the general wealth and
prosperity of the place, as well as in
creases the reputation of the town abroad.
It benefits all who have business in the
place; enhances the value of property,
besides being desirable public conyen-
fence. 1t increases trade; it cautions
against imposition; it saves you from
loss; it warns you of danger; it points
out different advantages and increases
your profits. The local press is the
power that moves the people; therefore,
support it by advertising in it literally,
subscribing forit, and paying for it.-Ex.

THE dignity Of the Supreme Court OF
the United States was upset last week
by case appealed from district court
in Virginia, involving the validity of a
patent for re- inforcing and strengthen
ing mems drawers in the seat and crotch.
The lower court held that no method Of
mending drawers in that region, could
be regarded as novel, since housewives
had exhausted human ingenuity in max
ing such repairs, for centuries, and a
patent on such device was the reduc-
ito ad absurdam of the United States
patent system. The supreme judges
could not resist the humor Of the stu
alton, and relaxed into smiles, while the
solemnity OF the high tribunal was
almost broken by the mirth of the bar
and audience.-Ex.
