The Federation Of Labor will institute a
suit against the Southern Iron Company for
a violation Of the contract labor law, in
having contracted with certain men In
England to operate and work in the new
basic steel plant here. They claim that a
hricklayer was engaged on definite con-
tract; that Mr.. Talbot. the superintendent,
was offered certain interest in the work,
and that he has induced first steel helper,
a steel melter, and handleman TO come
over. The penalty is $1,000 in each case,
and the trial will produce sensation in

Office. under date of Sd Feb'y, 1890, re-
ports two severe cases Of scrOfula.
First Case-Alady with hereditary scro-

purulent matter during these twenty years
through three fistuious soresfrom the hip
Joint until about six inches of the thigh
bone had been destroyed by liberation.
In June last she commenced the use Of A.

During the three months following another
sore ceased TO discharge and he aled as the
first one The last one has abated half
its former discharge, Or. Bagby says he
has good ground to hope for her perfect
recovery by persistent use of the remedy.
The limb was shortened about six inches

was used.
Second Case--A young lady Of the same
family with hereditary scrofula and en-.
largernent, with liberation of parotid
glands, and many sores on various parts
OF the body, commenced using A. b. c. Al

The most casual observer Of current
events cannot fall 10 notice that decided
GOODNESS, 10 say the least, at present exists
between the two home rule leaders In Par
lament Gladstone aud parncll. The Irish
members have unanimously reelected Mr..
ParneIl as their leader, and Mir. Gladstone
has given such unmistakable evidence OF
bis disapproval OF their course that he
has signided his intention OF re-
fusing 20 take an active part IN
future Parliamentary struggles for the sue
cess Of home rule, unless the programme
is changed. This determination could hard
" be more emphatically expressed than IN
iladstone's letter to MIR. John Morley, pub
lished yesterday, in which he says that, not
withstanding Mr.. Parnelrs splendid ser
vices TO his country, "his continuance at
present in the leadership would have conse-
quences disastrous in the highest degree to
the cause OF Ireland" 81 think" con-
tinues the veteran statesman, may be war
ranted In asking YOU so far 10 expand the
conclusions given above as to admit that
such continuance would not only place
many hearty and effective friends OF the
IRISH cause In a position Of great embar-
rassment, but would render my retention OF
the leadership Of the Liberals, based as IT
has been mainly upon the prosecution OF
the Irish cause, almost nudity"
The only conclusion which can be arrived
at, on reading this positive expression OF
Mr.. GlsdsiOne's views and feelings, is that
he has made up his mind to draw the line
distinctly between Parnell and himself, and
that il the former remains as leader OF the
Irish party that party can hope for no al
lance with the Liberals so long as he GLAD
stone) is the recognized Liberal head.
| The question then naturally arises, Will
the Irish party attempt to make the fight in
which they are engaged under Parnell
alone, without the assistance Of Gladstone,
or will they seek, at least for the present
some other leader with whom Gladstone
would be willing to work in unison! II
certainly would be the part Of wisdom fol
them TO decide in favor Of the latter prOpO
sition. However much it may be advanced
that Mr.. Parnell did no more than scores Of
other prominent men have done, the fact
remains that he is labOring under burden
Of popular disapprobation which musi
prove more or less disastrous to the cause
with which he is so conspicuously identified
1t seems, therefore, to an outside locker on
that he could do nothing more prudent thar
retire from prominent or active participa
ton in public events until the storm Of indig
nation excited against him has subsidized, Of
until he has had an opportunity to do away
as far as may be by his marriage with Mrs
O'Shea, with the evil consequences Of hii
recent acts. His own good sense anC
knowledge OF human nature, together Will
bis acknowledged devotion TO the cause hi
has so long and ably espoused, would ap
parently suggest TO Mr.. Parnell himself The
adyisablity of such policy.

Neighbor, it looks as if this was damning
the South with faint praise. According TO
our figures the American is not even half
right. When the ne-third reserved is sold
the total would only be $3.50, 0O0,OO0 received
for the crop. Now, 5000, 600 bales OF 900
pounds each gives 4,OOO,Oo0, 900 pounds Of
cotton, Welding at 81 cents per pound $780,
