My Dear Doctor.-
I take pleasure in adding my testimony to
the efficacy of my use of A1va's Cactus Blood
Cure, which you kindly ded to me as a
remedy for my periodical ai1menr of long stand
ing, fnfiamnatory rheumatism, or what your pro
fession terms '.gout.'
have been in the habit of using the stereotyped
remedies, the prescriptions which so seriously i'm
pair an depilitate the system without seeming to
eradicate the disease or ailment.
My experience In the use Of the Cactus is that it
braces the system and acts as q nervine.
l cannot too earnestly recommend to suffering
humanity the trial OF tbs, which seems, to me to
be d sovereign remedy for those afflicted as l have
been. Believe me, my dear sir.
Yours gratefully,
A. S. BRIGHT.

cured numerous cases OF ScrOfula and

CAN it be possible that the Repub-
lican Senate pulled the wool yer the
eyes of the Democratic Assembly in
arranging the terms of the ballot re-
form bill last winter? The Prohibi-
tionists of New Jersey have been the
special aversion of the Republicans,
because, by making independent
nominations. they drew away enough
Republican teetotallers from the Re-
publican ranks to elect Democrats;
and the Republican press never lets a
campaign season pass without digging
at them viciously. No fellow can
doubt that the cranky attitude of
these temperance zealots has been a
big help to the Democratic party;
and it would seem to have been good
Democratic policy to have thrown as
few distractions as possible around
their activity.
But here we see every Prohibition
convention held this fall denouncing
the restrictions the new ballot system
puts upon them, and declaring that
its end and aim Seems to have been to
drive them out of politics. One pre-
sumably Republican total abstainer
says that it will be as hard hereafter
for a Prohibitionist to vote in jersey
as it is for a "cullud p~usson' to vote
in South Carolina. There probably
is no difficulty about a "cullud pus-
son. voting in South Carolina but if
it as hard q thing as this Prohibition
prophet evidently thinks it is, why,
the Prohibition party has been hit
hard, indeed, by the new system.
Was that why the Republicans
were SO anxious to see it go through ?

and that is all the expense required.
There is no tuition, no laboratory
fees, and no charge for the use of
chemicals and apparatus. There is a
Common Hall on the University
ground at which good table board is
furnished at cost. The rate Of board
at present is from $3.50 to S2.75 pei

"The average legislature is now con-

No good thing is expected of it, and no

Letters from the People.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 25, '89.
Editor SITTER wish to congrat-
ulate yourself and people for your in
dependent press. 1t is too true that
we, as people, are full of monar-
chic notions and prejudices and in
clined to look up to our Government
as the barbarian does to his Idol or
joss, instead of creature of our
own, endowed with certain functions
for purposes of our own. There is
little doubt but that if the carriage of
private letters was now in private
hands grave objections would be raised
against the Government engaging in
such business and it would be argued
that its custody of the correspond
ence of the people would be detrimen-
tai to liberty.
We are now, however, habituated
to the Government serving us faith
fully and efficiently at cost, consider
ed in the aggregate, and as long as
our messages are carried in bag the
country is safe, but to transmit the
same over wire is regarded by many
as serious and dangerous innovation
even by men who have studied polit-
icaG economy who will readily admit
that system under which tremen-
dous fortunes are accumulated is
wrong. The correspondence of the
Postmaster General with DIR. Norvin
Green, the president of the Western
Union Telegraph Co., discloses that
apart from the cost of delivery, the
cost of sending telegraph message
is insignificant, less than a mill a
word, and yet, l suppose, the people
will be fleeced for years to come by
telegraph companies because We will
not serve ourselves at cost.
Will our liberties be endangered if
our postmaster, in addition to his 9TH
er qualifications, adds a knowledge of
telegraphy and wire is run into mis-
store, or will the shock come when be
employees your son or your neighbor's
son to deliver the messages?

PRICE THREE CENTS.

show that the items that cause the de-
'ficiency are second class matter and
Government correspondence and doc
uments. Letters are carried at q
profit, books or third class matter
at 8 cents a pound brings a profit,
while on merchandise the rate is near
ly prohibitory being 16 cents pound.
You may send not to exceed a four
pound package to Jamaica at 16
cents pound, while under postal
treaty an eleven pound package may
be sent to South America at IL cents
pound. In the face of these facts
one would expect recommendation
from the Postmaster General to carry
third and fourth class matter at 6
cents pound or at least 8 cents, but
the vested rights of express compa-
nies to rob us, it seems stand in the
way.
General Mills of Texas says the
general welfare clause of the Consti-
tuition has been strained about all it
will bear, while the fact is the people
have not begun to legislate in their
own behalf. Money, lands, mines
and corporate rights and franchises,
our own property, no one else, the
heritage Of our children, have been
thrown away with so lavish hand
that we are almost as naked as the
prodigal and must needs content our
selves with the husks.
Let me suggest to the lyceums,
whose proceedings you record from
week to week, the discussion of these
practical questions and living issues:
Should the Government establish
postal telegraph?
Should the Government control
mines and mining properties?
Should the distinction between
third and fourth class postal matter
be abolished?
Should any of the debating clubs
desire copies of current department
tai reports, and the secretary will
send his address to me, / will en-
deavor to procure them.
Truly your friend,

Rehabilitation OF the M. T.. Church At
BONNEVILLE,

Hedcdfeatfom OF the M. Il. Church At
BsnavilIe.
The iededicatiou OF the Bondville
church took place last Thursday,
services in the afternoon and even
ing, with the following programme
AFTERNOON.
Reading scriptures by Rev. W. s. smithers of
Brattleboro.
Prayer by Rev. W. W. Colbun Of Boston.
Sermon by Rev. W. s. Smithers.
Hymn.
Benediction.
Scripture reading and prayer by Rev. W. 8.

Sermon by Rev. W. s. Colburn.

BenedictiOn.
The pastor made q few remarks and
gave statement of the expenditures
upon the church, which was $l,439.0O,
$4,000 of which had been contributed in
furnishings, including furnace, chairs,
organ, cushion, pulpit etc.
Mr.. Barnie A. CLARK, of Brattleboro,
was present and was invited to speak.
He said that some two years ago the pastor
of the church came into his store at Brat
tleboro to buy hardware and from that
time he became more and more interest
ed in the church here, and he had come
to the dedication; that he had never been
in town before, but he was much pleased
with the church, and was surprised that
so much had been done in repairing the
church and parsonage.
Rev. W. s. Smithers then made few
remarks, and then said he wanted to raise
some money towards the repairs. He
then called for subscriptions and raised
$4,000.
Then they sang, "All Hail the Power
of Jusus Name" Then Rev. w. W.
Colburn pronounced the benediction.
The reason of this rededication was the
church had been thoroughly repaired, re-
fitted and modernized, through the as
siduous labors of Rev. w. F. Felch, who
is now serving the third year of his pas
torate. For want of room we are oblig-
ed to defer full description Of these
improvements until next week.
