"Personal Liberty" Again Vindicated.

Ho IOllOWlliS SpcCltl ulSpdGCH appear ed in the New York World, Aug. 12:
 NEW HAVEN, CONN.,, Aug 11.-Nicholas O'Brien, who lived with his wife and two children in dilapidated farmhouse two miles from Litchfield, on the Milton road, came home drunk late Tuesday night. He grabbed his wife by the hair, kicked and beat her, and drove her outdoors. There he kicked and pounded her again, choked her till she was nearly insensible, and pushed her into the weeds by the roadside. Two hours later Mrs. O'Brien was found covered with mud and blood and in dying condition. She died soon after, and her husband has been arrested for murder. Six years ago, when O'Brien married Miss Katie Heron, of Litchfield, he was industrious and sober. He form cd taste for hard cider, the tipple of the neighborhOod, and notwithstanding his wife's warnings became hard thinker. His crime is the sixth murder caused by cider drinking in Litchfield county during the last ten years."
 Six murders in ten years, in one Con- necticut county, from cider drinking ! The national democratic platform says I've are opposed to all sumptuary laws as an interference with the individual rights of the citizen." What were the ''individual rights' of these six persons who were murdered? What were the | rights of that woman who was seized by the hair, kicked and beaten and choked, | and then driven out of the home in which she could have been a queen to die like a dog in the mud?
 "Six years ago." we are told, "when O'Brien married Miss Katie Heron, oi Litchfield, he was industrious and sober. , This is the sequel. Drink changed the man to brute, and while the process is going on men stand by saying ethat is his individual right" But if it is mans right to become brute it is certainly his right to act like brute afterward. If { man has an individual right to make maniac of himself he has right to com init the deeds of madness. If man has a right to get drunk he has right to bt and to act the drunkard. And if me1 have that right even then their wives have no rights, not even the right to life itself, and their children have none. How can 8 government recognize the right tt life and at the same time set in operation a system whose sure and inevitable re suits are to destroy life by the tens o thousands?

HEART DISEASE CURABLE.-T truth of this statement may be doubted by many, but when Dr. Franklin Miles, the eminent Indiana specialist, claims that Heart Disease is curable and proves it by thousands of testimonials of wonderful cures by his New Heart Cure, it attracts the attention of the millions suffering with short breath, palpitation, irregular pulse, wind in stomach, pain in side or shoulder, smothering spells, fainting, dropsy, etc. A. F. Davis, Silver Creek, Neb., by using four bottles of Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, was completely cured after twelve years suffering from Heart Disease. This wonderful remedy is sold by w. D. Heald.

An experiment is being tried, the suc- cess of which will be eagerly watched by those who are interested in New England farming industry. Several proprietors have purchased six abandoned farms in Maine, which will be stocked as large as possibly with sheep. The experiment will be of interest to determine whether it will be proven that wool grower who does not believe in the present duties on wool can make sheep husbandry profita- ble upon the deserted farms of New En- gland. The six farms have been consoli- dated into one, comprising somewhat over four hundred acres. Wire fencing has been put up, and the farms will now be stocked. It is proposed to begin with one hundred Maine ewes purchased this fall. About ten acres of ground will be used for oats and mixed grains this fall. Then the houses will be rendered more habitable, sheep pens will be built and the fields put in good condition. We be- lieve this experiment will prove suc- cess, for nowhere in the wide world can be found better grazing land than along the sides of Maine's picturesque hills, and Eastern Connecticut is like unto it.

A Lie Somewhere.

The Silver State has the following:
Some of the gold.bug organs of
Nevada are trying to arouse popular
feeling in the Republican party
against the Silver Club movement by
declaring with both hands uplifted
that it is all Democratic game to
capture the State, and publish letters
with approving comment, in the
same issue from prominent Democrats
who think it is all dodge to throttle
the Democratic party. Such senti-
msnt from either newspaper men or
politicians will have no weight with
the intelligent voters Of the State, as
it Is quite evident both doctrines cam
not be true.
The fact is that the Silver Club
movement is nothing more or less
than general uprising Of the honest
and self thinking voters of the State,
irrespective of formar political con
nsctions who have unequivocally de-
cided to vote for no man for PRESS
dent unless he be unrsservedly IN
favor of free coinage

cold and wild beasts One day when
he is off at work, the cabin burns
down and it makes such terrible
fire that it melts the S75 into an un>
slightly mass. So he takes that mass
back to the mint, and he says that it
is not in good form and he would
like to have the dollars coined over.
The man in charge of the mint figures
up that the stamp being burned off
the silver ceases to be money; it Is a
mere commodity and only worth to
him 500 80. But the mint proceeds
again to coin it and coins seventy five
more silver dollars out Of l. Thus

At the Same time he sees his friend

This teaches him two lessons; the
first is that in negotiating with the |

than one does who has silver; that
