AN OLD STORY.

When n man says he feels drowsy in
the spring, that his digestion is bad, and
that he don't feel well generally, no
knows that he needs something TO give
tone 10 his system, to purify his blood
and put his liver in proper condition to
pcrform the duties Of organic life. lie
goes to his physician with this same old
story year after lenr and the physician
prescrioes a tonic and alternative. The
best tonic in a case like this is DR. West.
morcland's Calisaya Tonic. 1t acts
g mingly on the liver, puriiins the
). ID and strengthens the system for it's
di y work. This great medicine can be
bought at Jennings Pharmacy and j. r..
Douglas' Drug Store for SO cts. and 81

Rev. DR.. GLADDEN., OF Columbus, in
sermon delivered Sunday on the subjec'
OF the May Day labor demonstrations
treated the matter in a very practical
manner. Some Of his suggestion tc
workingmen arc sensible and timely
Referring to the fact that Columbus
took no part in the labor day demonstra'
tons, be accounted for it by citing the
pleasant relations that have always ex.
listed between tho workingmen md theil
employers. But two small strikes have
occurred in Columbus in the past seven
and a half years, and they were AMIGA,
bly, adjusted.
DR.. GLADDEN. thinks that Colum.

their employers more conservative thar

Guilty that cannot be settled within rea.

right without reason. Labor and CAPT.
tai are partners and no arrangement car
be permanently maintained without the
support Of both.
DR.. GLADDEN. says the day is coming
when the eight hour system will lie

come in its own good time. Working.

The Kaisef's Policy.

II the young Emperor Of Germany
carries out his policy as outlined in his
speech opening the Reichstag yesterday,
he will do much to make himself more
popular with the German people, and
will succeed in confirming confidence in
the pacific policy OF his Government
among the powers Of Europe.
The Emperor is beginning to realize
the power OF the aocialistic element in
Germany, and to counteractits effect and
60 far toward quieting the unrest among
the common people by improving the
condition Of the workinsmen. The pro.
posed labor bill will prove n popular
measure, and many Of its features are
designed to correct evils which have
contributed to the increase OF radical
socialism.

Virginia towns to Cumberland, Nd, as
we'll as other changes Of a similar char.
acter which have recently been and are
about 10 be made, 1t is asserted by well.
informed people are not prompted by a
desire OF the company to rid itself OF ex.
c~essive taxation in West Virginia. On
the contrary, these persons say, the OBJ.
ject Is merely one Of convenience and
the movement Is the contamination oil
plans that have been in contemplation
for some yeara. This may be true and
color is given to the explanation by the
fact that the company is preparing to in
crease It's holdings at Benwood. How.
ever, West Virginia can afford 10 adopt
a liberal and encouraging policy toward
the railroads which arc doing so much
just now toward opening up the State.
The terms offered by Cumberland and
which secured the termini OF three di.
visions Of the road, were notonly liberal
but exhibited an enterprising ~apprecia'
ton OF the value Of making concessions
to secure SO important q prize. Wes'
Virginia towns and counties have moth
ing to lose by pursuing the most gener
Gus policy IN such matters, not only
towards railroads, but toward all indus
trial enterprises that would be glad tc
find "homes" with us.
