CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
HAY FEVER.


Sufferers are not generally aware tina,
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however. has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby Ca
tarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

LITERARY NOTES.
IDEO-KLEPTOMANIA.
rogues must go

We have received, and there is now for sale at the Labor News Company, the articles of J. w. Sullivan, on Henry Georges pretensions to originality, put in pamphlet form under the suggestive title of Ideo-kleptomdnia. The pamph- let shows much research it is also in teresting reading. Yet, while looking it over, the question recurs, To what pur- pose all the labor? Who but Georgiacs, and the most ignorant at that, ever thought he had originated one single economic thought or is at all entitled to rank among economists? Who in all the land among non-capitalists whose opinion is worth cultivating, cares button about George? Who is there among radicals so ill informed as to believe that George is yet worth gun powder? His shameless apostacy has of itself completely buried him. As far as Mir. Sullivan's object is to unmask 1ttl Sts ltS ihbti os llitltipiCs ottlh fiuous.
 The pamphlet is nevertheless worth reading; it enables those who have not sufficient leisure to systematically un- dertake the study of economics to ac- quire quite an insight into the history of several economic tenets; knowledge of which is necessary to the understanding of the evolution of thought in that science To the writer of that in ques | ton the work must have been greatly instructive. He seems, it IS true, stil to adhere to the land question as the only solution of the labor problem. But it is hardly probable that one wht actually read Progress and Porerty ant has also studied standard works 1T political economy-two things that dis ] dinguish MT. Sullivan from all existing Single e-Taxers-should continue mucl longer victim of superstition.-D. c.

BE SENSIBLE.

If they would only read the WORK MEMS ADVOCATE the few delegates who voted last Sunday for MT. George War ner's foolish motion to close the door of the c. L. U. to its reporter might know and appreciate it's services to the labor cause And among those services none can be greater than the exposure Of nefarious schemes and corrupt schemers in the ranks of Organized Labor.
 No honest man need be in fear of the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE. If MT Warner can satisfactorily explain his connection with the so-called Legislative Reform party, he will get nowhere justifica- tion of his conduct as complete as this paper will gladly afford him every op- portunity of presenting, Instead of de- manding that the light be put out, let him, therefore, apply himself to the clearing up of the dark scheme with which his name is associated.
 But woe to the malefactors who, after selling out their fellow. .workmen, think they can, ostrich-like, hide their disgrace by refusing to read it in the columns o1 the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE.
Workmen's advocate., 1890-06-07
MARPLOTS.

In the absence of George the prophet, his editorial cockatoo has been seized with fit of fury. It seems that the vicious creature had an interest in the Archibald scheme of political action, but the socialists "have played their usual part as marplots," and they will 'do their little best to interfere with the sue cess of any movement that may be start ed that is hkely to advance the true inter- ests of workingmen." Hence weeping and gnashing of teeth on the perch of the cockatoo who, like his master, hates the socialists even more than he loves the workingmen.
 That the Socialists "marred' a "plot' in this instance as they usually" dc may be taken for granted. How did they do it? In the words of Georges cockatoo, "by issuing call for al trades and labor unions to send dele gates to a conference to arrange fol independent political action" All poll tical tricksters will of course agree witt Georges cockatoo, that a bona td convention of organized Labor is not SC "hkely to advance the true interests O workingmen" as would caucus of thu said tricksters.
Workmen's advocate., 1890-06-07
CONSISTENCY.

Mark Mr. Archibald's course.
 In 1886, he denounces the Democratic narty AS "boodle machine" and shouts himself hoarse for its destruction.
 In 1888, he supports it as the friend of labor and shouts himself hoarse for the election of its Presidential candidate.
 In 1890, he again denounces it as a "boodle machine", the destruction of which is imperatively demanded by the best interests of labor.
 Now, what virtue did Mir. Archibald discover in the Democratic party in 1888, that he could not see in 1886?
 And what rascality does he find in it in this year of grace 1890, that he could not see in 1858:
 Mir. Archibald's political eyesight is evidently so uncertain and defective that he must of necessity resign all his pretensions to leadership in the labor movement.
