Mr.. T.. V. Powderly, General Master Work
man of the Knights of Labor. had at one
time reputation as careful and conserya-
i've leader When the Knights were young
and thriving, Mr.. Powderly seemed to be in
fair way to contest the claim to fairness
and impartiality held by Chief Arthur, of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
Of late, however, as the order has COM
menced to lose in numbers and strength, the
General Master Workman has seemed to
lose his head, and has said and done things
that have made his own knights look ask
ance at him. The general executive board
Oh the order has been In session of late in
FLORIDA, presumably with the hope of form
Ing some sort of partnership with the Farm
ers' Alliance, and Mr.. Powderly has been
making speeches. In one he called down all
manner OF curses on the heads of the capi-
talists, who, he said, chained up the light
nlng Oh 1oo's wrath and made it do their
Dioding, meaning the men like Edison. who
are making electricity do almost ali that
needs to be done for the good of man Tn
another speech he denounced the inventors
of labor-saving machinery with a fierceness
that would have made them wish thew had
never been born If they had heard him. M
Powderly forgot that he was talking IN
farmers who are greatly convenienced bv
these same labor-saYing implements. A
man from Kansas, who was present, inter
rupt!ng Mr.. Powderly, asked him If he real
ly opposed labor-saying machin Mr..
Powderly did oppose it emphatically.
Then" said the farmer. ."you have come to
he wrong place. There are dozens of men
mere who used to cut grain with sickle, and
VINO managed to get In 200 bushels In a sea-
son. Now, the use of horse cultivators. self
binding reapers, threshing machines and
other fruits of American genius has in
creased production ten-fold. These men

There is great danger that if Congress
starts In to relieve the present financial
stress 1t may apply remedy that will even
tually Intensity the disease rather than al
ievlate 1t. Quack financiers are apt to be
much more abundant in such body than
sound and educated ones, and quack finan-
ciers like quack doctors are likely to be the
ones too who prescribe with the greatest
confidence, and therefore to command In
times Of financial sickness the greatest at
tention. The wise financier knows that lit

Congress has behaved much better since
the session began than there was any reason
to expect 1t would. Democratic threa
have grown much less frequent since the
session began, and measures that the minor.
ity were planning to resist to the bitter end
now seem likely to pass without any more
that the legitimate amount of resistance
from them. The apportiOnment bill, even,
seems likely to become law without the
necessity of suppressing the obstreperous
Democrats by harsh measures. The fact
seems to be that the more the Democrats
dwell upon their victory. the more uncertain
they become as to its true meaning. Ger
tainly they have ceased to regard 1t as IL
cense from the country to cut up all sorts of
revolutionary antics.

NERVOUS PR0SlRATIoN.

Boston, Mass, Nov 8, 1890.
MIR. A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir:
My son, twelve years Of age, has.been suffering
from a shock to his nervous system for about
three years. His nerves were entirely shattered
so that we could not keep him In school for any
length OF time. Neither doctors nor medicines
did him any good. but he grew steadily worse, and
finally had species of St Vitus dance. At last
we gave up every medicine, and began giving him
Murdock's Food. He soon began to improve.
After taking two large bottles he gained strength
enough to enter the Boys Latin School. Greatly
to surprise and that of his former teachers he
has managed to attend that school constantly
without single absence for the last two months
He shows no sign of breaking down again, and is
on the road to complete recovery. His improve
ment is due entirely to Murdock's Food, and we
propose to continue its till he is the strongest
member of the family.
Yours very truly,
G. F. ORDwAY,

The Minneapolis Tribune believes in Min.
neapolis first and last and all the time, and
adyertises its belief at all times and In a
manner that is sometimes amusing. Not
content with demolishing such places as st.
Paul, Omaha, Duluth and other metropo.
Uses, the Tribune boldly attacks Chicago
itself and desires to rob the Windy City of
one OF its best known features. Says the
Tribune:
A question to be solved by the DRIFT of future
business is the influence that Chicago will exert
10 the mouldingof wheat prices. That city has
Tor some years been sliding down In the scale as
APPOINT OF extensive trading in real wheat. If
the gram tDat goes through there without hold
lug, excepting 10 be set over from one railroad to
another, were not counted as actual grain re-
celyed there for month that city would stand
yet lower. minneapolis ships by rail to the east
and south large amount every year and much of
" In moving to its destination goes through Chi
cag0.
The Tribune then goes on to declaim at
considerable length against the practices of
Chicago grain operators, who make a very
small amount of real wheat stand for large
amount OF speculation and no small less in
good money. II the wheat quotations sent
out over the wires are to rule the market,
says the Tribune, it would be better in the
interest Of honesty to use figures based on
actual transactions with real wheat, than to
allow sharp spectators to corner the market
and put the prices up with no reason what
ever. Ii real wheat is to rule, Minneapolis
and not Chicago prices should rule the
market, because Minneapolis is becoming
the ce of the grain trade.

ALL ADMIT THAT
PARALYSIS

Is the worst OF all diseases to cure or relieve,
as the system is dying by degrees, first the
muscles, then the nerves and tissues, and not
vitality enough exists TO stop toe decline, and
death follows in few days or months
We have published few from the many hun
bred cases that we have restored to health, who
were suffering from this lingering life, and
none more interesting or chronic than the follow
ing:
The daughter OF Mr.. Charles F. Hayden. high
land street, West Roxbury, July. 1888, aged six
had an attack of Rheum tic Fever, followed by
Spinal Meningitis, ending In Paralysis, with loss
OF use of both legs, arms and back. Recovered In
four TO five months the use Of all but her right leg
which she has had no control Of SINCE and has
been in a hospital for treatment two weeks and
discharged with right foot wearing iron shoe,
and straps of iron ointed at the knee, worn night
and day, and walk ed with crutches. Returned in
two weeks to hospital for an examination Of the
full board of surgeons and pronounced incurable
and discharged as such. Since then has been un-
der the medical treatment of nine Of our leading
physicians and specialists, but no relief. Her
leg has stopped growing, being not more than Sd
to As of the otner in diameter, and was lifeless
and cold up to Aug. L, 1890. Then she COM
menced taking four teaspoons of Murdoek's Liq-
ud Food daily, for two WEEKS; then took double
the quantity, or four dessert spoonfuls daily and
abandoned her iron shoes at night, which had
made a sore on her thigh; after two weeks more,
abandoned The iron shoe day times; two weeks
later abandoned her crutches for two canes; two
weeks later abandon one cane, and now never
carries any in tie house or on her walks, but
when playing in the fields carries one 10 catch her
self with in case she makes misstep on the I'M
even ground. She has gained in weight and
health. now sleeps well and her limb is restored
TO normal health. She walks without hmping
and is as well as children in general, with no ex
haustion or tired feeling from the leg.

The Argus should have read our remarks
upon the tariff policy of Mexico before pro
ceeding to criticise them. Had our neighbor
done so our point, that the Mexicans are
protecting" industries that do not exist and
ignoring the real needs of the country could
not have escaped its notice. In this country
the conditions are different. Manufacturing
is established and growing and needs pro-
lection. The Democratic idea of admitting
foreign wool, coal, tin and other articles that
we tduce sufficiently at home and impos-
ing high tariff duty on tea, coffee, foreign
sugar and other articles that cannot be pro.
duced in the United States came off the
same piece of wisdom with the Mexican tar
If. Both are widely different from the poll
cy that the American people favor.

What Parnell expects to do with the Irish
party, If he succeeds in regaining control, it
is difficult to imagine, unless it be assumed
that he is going to use it to crafty his own
personal spite against the Liberal leaders,
Certainly after the gross betrayal of conf.
Dental communication. of which he has been
guilty, he cannot expect the Liberal leaders
to have anything to do with him in the fu-
ture, or to enter into any alliance with par
liamentary body Of which he is the recog-
nized spokesman. And without Liberal sup
port he knows perfectly we'll that Home
Rule cannot make any progress. The utter
impossibility of Parnell, in his present dis
credited condition, being able to accomplish
anything for his country must be so clear to
every Irishman who has reasoning faculties
and stops to use them that the present upris-
ing in his behalf can be accounted for only
on one of two theories. Either great many
lrishmen care very much less about Home
rule than they have been supposed to, or else
great many Irishmen are incapable of a
sober second thought.
