found injustice ofputting a saloon next man's door, 80 that he shall wake up to find that his propertysis damaged in value one=haH.
 We hope, also, for civil damages law, by which the saloon, or the premises oc- cupied by the saloon, shall be liable in damages for every injury or loss, by fire or casualty or crime, which can be traced to that saloon.
 If the saloon were compelled to pay for all the evil that it does, the saloon would soon cease to be profitable; and when the saloon ceases to be profitable, then it will cease to exist. For I have not ob- served that the saloon carries on its busi- ness for amusement, or from motives of pure philanthropy.
 How shall all these results be accom- plished? First of all, we must be united. The saloon is united. The saloon Is neither democratic or republican; it is saloon. It believes devoutly in the gov ernment of the people for the saloon and by the saloon We are divided, each one caring more about his own view than about the cause; and half the time the right wing is firing on the left. We must welcome the cooperation of friends of temperance of every party, of every creed, of every church, and of no church. am ready to lay my hand in the hand of Bishop Ireland of Minnesota, who has spoken brave and such noble words for temperance. .. And we must be in earnest. The sa- loon is in earnest. It means every word that it says. It knows exactly what it wants, and it is willing to pay for it. If the saloon called for million dollars, it could have a million dollars within twen- ty-four hours; while we, if we called for a million dollrs, should probably have portion of the ciphers. The saloon has no scruples (although it has many drams) it sticks at nothing; and we can fight it successfully only by being equally in ear nest.
 And we must enlist for the war; we must enlist never to cease until we shall have secured a complete victory, and the saloon shall have ceased to be.

(Conn. Farmer.) ABANDONED FARMS"

There are plenty of farms for sale in Connecticut; if anybody doubts that, he can be convinced by calling upon any en- terprising real estate agent, or putting in The Farmer a small advertisement to the effect that he is anxious to pay cash for 8 good one. MT. Gold will have no diffi- culty in securing an ample list, under the broad opportunity offered for this free ad- vertising, and some farms will doubtless change owners through it.
 .r What percentage of these will be in any proper sense abandoned farms is not so easy to say, but we think it will be a very small one, as MT. Gold suggests. In the aggregate considerable land once un- der cultivation, has been permitted to grow up to brush, or relinquished to pas turage. Farm buildings have been aban- doned and gone to decay, and the farms to which they originally belonged have been swallowed up in neighboring ones, until the owners have often become Gland poor" as hundreds of ill-kept acres have succeeded scores of well-cared-for ones. Every New England state, and many out side of it show this, and there is probably as little of 1t in Connecticut as any of them.
 We are not certain, however, that the owners of these overgrown farms will be the ones to respond to this call Land avarice has as strong grip upon it's vic- tim as any other greed, and the man who sets out to own all the land that adjoins> his own is not easily induced to part with an acre of his possessions. His heirs will will be the ones to make the distribution. It is not bad idea, nevertheless, for Connecticut, like other states, to take steps to present to the world the advan- tages which she offers to desirable set
 tiers. Localities east, south and west,
 without tithe of her real attractions and solid benefits, are constantly winning set tiers by ther energy and perseverance in pushing their claims upon the public, and
 her own sons are too often seduced from
 their allegiance by these allurements. There is moral in the story of the
 man who put his farm in the hands of a gifted real estate agent, and upon,reading the description of the same which the
 agent put in a newspaper decided that such farm was good enough to stay up-

"socialistic Capitalism"
 Alfred Dolge, of Dolgeville, N. Y., is making very interesting effort to demon strate that socialism is possible without legislative aid, and that true nationalism can only exist when sufficient number of just employers come to season the indus trial life of the nation. All he asks of lawmakers on the hill-tops is to let him and his men alone, and he will demon strate that socialism can be achieved without the least sacrifice of the rights and dignity of either employer or employ ed. At the twenty-third annual reunion of MT. Dodge and his workmen few days ago, his scheme of cooperation was explained and supplemented with some very handsome figures. It involves sys- tenn of graduated pensions, 8 compre- hensive plan of life insurance and profit sharing all along the line. Yet there is not the slightest trace of paternalism in it, and no manner of ism is entertained or recognized. MT. Dolge insists that his establishment is conducted on purely busi- ness principles, not dollar of it's benefits being in the nature of gift or gratuity. : MT. Dolge starts out with the proposi- tion that the only legitimate capital in his concern upon which he is morally en- titled to profit is material, If the Al mighty has endowed one of his workmen with an inventive faculty, he does not claim it as his capital and pocket the re- rewards. If an idea, invention or i'm proved machine nets $2,0O0 a year profit, he gives the profit to the inventor, after dedueting the cost of applying it. By thus waiving his right to full title in the product of another mans brains, in which he can find no element of legitimate capi- tai inhering solely in himself, he is ena- bled to insure the life of every man in his employ, provide benefits against sickness and pension against old age and infirm- ity. Here seems to be dream of ''Chris- tian Socialism" materialized into con- crete justice, the man at the helm waiv- ing not single iota of his prerogatives as a legitimate capitalist and an employing "boss." The nation is the multiplied in- diyidual. The question which naturally suggests itself is: Will true nationalism ever be achieved much faster than the world multiplies Godius, Sir Titus Salts and Alfred Dolges?

Galveston News: No people on earth have ever upheld the state and state's rights as heroieally as the people of the south. They have been clamorous for states rights from the first. What are the states giving them in return? In many instances the most pernicious pa- ternalism, class legislation, failure to protect them in their property and per- sonal rights, laws to break them up in business, to reduce the value of their property, to destroy them! State gov ernment may become dangerous and di- sastrous, just as federal or any other kind of government. State's right voters will have to bear this truth in mind.

\ A clever society woman, who has mar ried off six daughters in most satisfac- tory manner, says the secret of her suc- cess lay. in the facts that she never op- posed her daughters in any fancy that they might entertain for any impecunious and ineligible suitor. "That is just the way to make them crazy about man, she says. "No, indeed; was wiser than that. If one of my daughters liked some- body who was undesirable, made a point of thrusting his society upon her. I

 had him at my house every time I could possibly arrange it; and took care every time he came to put him in some ridicu-
 lous position before he left. That was
 enough. No girl admires man who
 makes himself ridiculous in society. I never had any further trouble"

New York Press: From 1846 to 1850, the first years of the revenue tariff period and immediately succeeding several years of efficient protection, the United States made 47.5 per cent. and England made 52.5 per cent. of the joint make of pig from of the two countries. During the closing years of the revenue tariff, 1857 to 1861, the full effects of that baleful policy appear in the fact that we made only 14.7 per cent. of the joint make. Is it any wonder that England wants us to return to that policy?

HEIGHT OF CRUELTY. Nervous women seldom receive the sympathy they de- serve. While often the pictures of health, they are constantly ailing. To withhold sympathy from these unfortunates is the height of cruelty. They have weak heart, causing shortness of breath, fut- tering, pain in side, weak and hungry spells, and finally swelling of ankles, op- pression, choking, smothering and drop sy. Dr. Miles New Heart Cure is just the thing for them. For their nervous ness, headache, weakness, etc., his Re- storative Nervine is unequaled.
