CIimn,e for ConsumntIve..

The several climates of Florida, Col
orado and California have each been
much prescribed for sufferers from
lung disease, yet thousands of the ma
tives in those States die of this fatal
malady. A far more reliable remedy
is to be had in every drug store in the
land, and one that can be used at
home: a remedy which is sold, by
druggists, under the manufacturer
pOsitiUe guarantee that, if taken in time
and given a fair trial, it will effect a
cure, or money paid for it will be
promptly returned. We refer to that
world-famed remedy for consumption
Tor lung-scrOfula) known as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t is the only remedy for this terrible
disease possessed Of such superior
curative properties as to warrant its
manufacturers in selling it under a

The Supreme Court Decision
Makes the Liquor Question
National One.
AS BROAD A MATTER AS SLAVERY.

The announcement last week of the
Supreme Court decision regarding pro.
hibitOrv liquor laws in the various
States caused considerable commotion
among Prohibitonists. Informal con-
ferences were held in offices, stores.
hotel corridors and on the streets.
wherever two or three interested in
the cause happened to meet. Some of
the PrOhibitiOnists viewed the decis-
ion with feelings of suspicion as to its
effects on their party, but others were
delighted at the turn ofaffairs Among
the latter is Hiram De Walt.
Il hail the supreme Court decision
with delight" he said That is what
we have been working toward for
years. Heretofore our opponents have
tried to impress the country with the
idea that the prohibition question is
wholly one to br dealt with locally
by State legislation. local option, and
so forth. All this time, however, we
have been laburIng to convince the
people that the prohibition question is
a National problem. as much SO as was
that of slavery. And pDw the United
States Supreme Court has recognized
our position, and has virtually de-
clared, as ] look at the matter, that
We are right Heretofore we have
been hampered in every way by hav-
ing to fight small communities. Now
we can jump at the throat of the great
question; we can take the bull by the
horns and fight the thing out on ma
tional basis. We have been working
and waiting for the tide to turn in this
direction, and now are rewarded. As
far as the decision affects the prohibi-
ton laws Ofany State, do not think
serious consequences may be feared
Iii is well known by everybody that
prohibition by State legislation has
failed to prohibit. You can buy liquor
in Kansas or Maine without much
trouble. So everything seems to be in
our favor"

MIR. vAIL's VIEW.

L. D. Vail, counsel for the Law and
Order Society, of Philadelphia, said
Probably this decision will be a
good thing for those who desire prohi-
ton. 1t may give us just what we
want. By having the attention of the
people drawn TO this thing, it may be
the means of having Congress pass
some law by which the sale of liquor
will be regulated. If a man were to
bring into State for sale liquor in a
half pint or pint TASKS, l think it
would be considered mere trick to
evade the law, aud such practice
would soon be stopped. OF course a
licensed dealer in the city who could
buy his goods for less money in Cam
den would have IA perfect right to do
so, but this decision will in no way in
terfere with the operation of our pres.
ent high license law"
Cornelius ]. Gibbons agreed with
Mr.. Mr.. DeWalt and Mr.. Vail, and
added:
"Of course there can be but one re-
suit when. the State law and national
law conflict"

Industrial Progress South.

There 10 part Of the country which
Is probably watching the preparation
and passage Of tariff bill through
Congress with greater interest than
the industrial South. 1t means to that
section more than it does to any other.
The towns which are springing up
there, the manufacturing establish
ments that are building and the con-
stantly increasing flow of capital in
that direction are evidences of the ef-
tects OF Protection, aud of the need of
continuing that policy. A badly
framed tariff bill would quickly check
this industrial growth and turn the
tide OF prosperity which is now press
ing upon that section.
TO those who have not kept them
selves informed as to the industrial
changes wrought in recent wears in
that broad belt of country known
as the border States, and the
northern counties of Alabama and
Georgia, visit is like change to
magic land. 4 new spirit has come
over the people and the whole neigh
borhoods have been quickened into
new life. Factories and furnaces dot
the landscape and the mines that laid
untouched for centuries are giving up
their hidden stores Of wealth. Free
trade could never have brought this
change, or could have brought it only
after generations Of waiting. But pro-
lection Is making it possible to the
man OF to-day. and saving to the ma
ton untold millions in wealth and in
years OF waiting.
The neighborhood which is feeling
the impulse OF this new life the more
strongly Is comprised in a circle COW
erlng Northern Georgia, Northeastern
Alabama and Southeastern Tennessee
and Kentucky. This region seems
destined TO become to the Southern
States what Pennsylvania has been to
to the North and East. Its soil is rich,
It's climate genial, and its mineral re-
sources boundleSs. 1t is within this
nelghborhoOd that most of the indus
trlai progress made in the South dur
ing the last few years has been wit
messed. Atlanta, Birmingham, Cad
den, Decatur and Chattanooga are ex-
ampieS of the transformation which has
taken place in this region. But the
development has not been confined to
the towns and cities. The farmer has
shared in i, as well as the manufac.
turer
The North has vital interest in this
quickening Of the life blood of the
South. \ share of the capital which
has made it possible has gone from
here and some of the energy and brains
which are directing this new develop
ment received their training in the
North. There is also a peculiar salts.
faction in seeing the South prosper
under the influence of the same reve-
nue. policy which has brought wealth
aud comfort to the North, and which
the South rejected so long. But, more
than all, this industrial progress is
pleasing to the North because there
has come in its wake, aud will come in
larger degree in the future, that lib
erty in political thought and action
which is essential to the life of a free
and progressive Philadelphia

A LAWYER DIssENTs

A prominent lawyer of Philadelphia,
and a Democrat fOrcibly dIssented
from the decision of the United States
Supreme Court. He said that this de-
cisiOn would apply not only to liquors
but to every other article of merchan.
disc as we'll. He dwelt particularly on
the oleomargarine question. He said
that some of these OleOmargarine cases
had been tried in the Dauphin County
Courts, and when decision was rem
dered against the dealers that had car
ried the matter first to the Supreme
Court of the State, and then to the
United States Supreme Court on the
ground that the law regarding oleO-
margarine was unconstitutional. It
decided that the law was unconstitu-
tional, but now, he said that under the
recent liquor decision, oleOmargarine
could be shipped to Pennsylvania from
any State in the Union, and sold
without hindranee as long as it was
done up in original packages. The
whole question opened up in this de-
cisiOn was one. he claimed, of great
importance. II liquor, he argued,
could be thus sold practically without
a license in prohibition States, in could
be 80 sold in this State under the high
license law, and any wholesale dealer
refused license in this city or State
could move into another State and soil
his liquors here without anyone having
the right 10 say him nay.
WHIT IS SAID IN IOWA.
The decision of the United States
Supreme Court that Iowa cannot in
tertere with the importation of liquors
has created great comment there.
Some take the extreme view that it
| practically knocks prohibition higher
than kite. It is probable that for
eign dealers will open agencies for the
sale of their liquor In every city in the
State and persons desiring wet goods
can apply there and thus become i'm
porters and receive what they want in
the original package over which the
State will have no control.
Other Prohibitionists say that this
| decision will not interfere with the
original purpose of the prohibitory
law, which was to shut up the saloons.
They say that they never expected to
stop people from drinking, but only to
close the open saloon, which was a con-
stant breeding place for crime and
shelter for criminals.
A number of prominent Prohibition
lists were interviewed, and it is their
opinion that the general effect of the
decision would be damaging to the law.
II much liquor is to be imported for
! private use, many believe that the
State ought to permit its own citizens
TO manufacture it for this trade, and
not let persons in other States have all
the profit from it.
The anti Prohibitionists regard the
decision as a great victory, and a long
step towards the repeal Of the lows
law.

That Shirt Button

Can get a mans "dander riz," and cause
more confusion and bad language when it
isn't there, than anything we know Of. 1t is
always the little things that worry man
in this world, and wear him out and bring
him down to fill an early grave. If on
rising IN the morning he puts his naked
foot on the business end of a tin tack that's
another little item. that gets his hair
OFF," It's always the small matters that
cause the trouble, a flag end of cigarette
burned down Chicago; little stream of
water half an inch wide. washed away the
dam of Conemaugh and lost thousands of
lives, at the JOhnstOwn disaster. So it is
with disease, it begins in small way and
gradually extends its ramificatiOns until
it is complete master of the situation, and
then it is, probably, too late to do any
good. The way to allay disease is to at
tack it in its initial stages; when sickness
is coming on it always gives ample warn
ing, the symptoms are slight. perhaps, but
none the less important; approaching dis
ease always casts its shadows before. differ
ent people get different symptoms, one
gets headache, another neuralgia, third
lassitude, fourth loss OF appetite, and so
on. Any constitutional disturbance must
tell you that the processes of life are not
properly progressing, that some part of
the human machinery is disoIganized and
If you neglect this irregularity, chrome
disease will positively result. Hundreds
of people are hurried into untimely graves
through neglect of the first symptoms. We
want you to know that CLEMENTS Tonic is
the article that will arrest the progress of
disease of all kinds if taken at the onset.
CLEMENTS Tonic is an article that has
never yet and never will fail to regulate all
the processes of animal life, it aids perspi-
ration and respiration. secretion, digestion,
assimilation. elimination and excretion |;
it stimulates the liver and cleanses the con-
gested h9patic glands and ducts and renal
passages of all morbid and impure accumu-
lations. CLEMENTS Tonic invigorates the
stomach and regulates the bowels and
braces up the whole corporal structure. 1t
prevents fever, malaria and ague. It pre-
vents the relaxation and depression so pre-
valent in the hot weather, enriches the
blood, restores all lost nerve power, and
gives tone to the system. CLEMENTS Tonic
will do all this and more, it will save life,
