The lad lay in a fit and a physician who

Not long ago the doctors pronounced him
cured, and a day was fixed for his release,

Pleasant Pellets have done their
work. It's a work that isn't fin

them, either. It's lasting. They
cure, as well as relieve. And it's
all done SO mildly and gently |
There's one of the violence that

cured. AS a Liver Pill, they're I'M
equaled. They're purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless = the smallest,
cheapest, and easiest to take.
They're the cheapest pill you a
buy, because they're guaranteed te
give satisfaction, Or your money il

You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more?

Commander B%allington Booth was seen
by a reporter at the Salvation Army
headquarters, Ill Reade street, yester-
day. Concerning the new reform he said
For a long time the subject of the
distress of New York's poor and helpless
creatures has been uppermost in my
mind. This has been especially true
since the issuing Of my new book on
New York's Inferno" Mrs. Booth and
/ frequently talked of the problem, and
finally made n tour of the slums attircd
in n costume of rags. By that means we
enlisted the sympathy of the forlorn
wretches we saw, and were able to get
at many facts that we would never have
known if we had gone there in company
with the police. We saw men and WON
EN- lying on the cold, wet pavements OF
sleeping under archways for want of Il
better place.
The fact hat 10000 people in New
York have no homes at all and that 1870,
900 have difficulty in keeping the wolf
of hunger from the door urged me to
this step. With an immense agency of
nearly 100 staff officers and 1850 com
manders at my disposal, a heavy respon-
sibility which | realize rests on me.
We nave expended 5000 already and
expect to extend the work as soon as
| possible. By holding meetings in the
auditorium of the building, which vii
hold 1000 persons, we hope to realizt
the rental of the building.-New YOrl

The Much MaIigned Salvation Army
Feeding the Hungry OF New York.
The Salvation Army has rented the
building at the orner of Bedford and
Downing streets, formerly occupied by
the congregation of the Berean Baptist
church, and has entirely reftted the
house. The basement Of the building
has peer converted into "A restaurant,
dormitories, lavatories, kitchen and Of
fees. The restaurant has two depart
ments. One will appeal to the hungry
in need of immediate satisfaction and
whose sense of pride will not prevent
his partaking Of n stand up" luncheon.
The other division is furnished with ia
bles, and those preferring to sit while
dining on a one course meal will be ac-
commodated there. The dormitories
will have provision at the outset for fifty
guests.
Two features of special interest ma
be noted in connection with this scheme,
A crib, said to be entirely new and un
like anything of the kind used in Ameri-
ca, has been devised. The outside is II

foot high. At one end of the box, known
as the head of the bed, a compartment

articles as a hat or coat has been pro
vided. Within the box and just high

of society are against them. Cap

When the poor combine, it is

cert, if they really do something, it
is "mob." If they defend them
selves it is treason. In this

be yelping at his heels, and frothing
at the mouth at every step.
Now, according to all good Re-
publican authority, from John Sher-
man down to league bulletins, "debt
stands for investment; but whose
investment? In the case of the
Illinois farmers, Shylock receives
81 per cent. of the farmers earn
ings, and it must follow that in this
case, encountered investment stands
81 per cent. for Shylosk, and per
cent fer farmers the supposed in
vesters. Is it not fact that with
the contraction of our currency, the
farmers investments of not only
borrowed capital, but of labor, have
proven to be only Of advantage to
the money lenders? That farmer
must be fit subject for an asylum
who believes he can go on selling
farm products below cost, without
finally landing in bankruptcy and
very dull if he cannot see that in
vestments on borrowed capital
under high rates of interest and
low-priced farm products are Shy
locks investments rather than the
farmers. Yes, "debt stands for in
vestment"; but whose investment,
or the farmers?
Whose investment is it when a
farm worth $4,000 is mortgaged for
S 900, and after the mortgage has
run ten years, it is found that the
volume of currency has been con-
tracted one-third or one-half, and
the price of the farm has shrunk in
and if the farm could be
sold at all, would only bring the
amount of the mortgage, is it the
farmers investment, or Say lock s?
Whose investment is it, when the
people bond their county or town
ship to railroad company, or some
other corporation, and find, after a
period, that the labor necessary to
earn the dollar with which the bond
is to be paid has shrunk in value, one

More Calamity HOwling.

The Patrons of Husbandry is
perhaps the most conservative labor
organization in the world, and yet
it's leaders are often found striking
sledge-hammer blows against some
of the unfair conditions that sur
round the agriculturist. Mr.. Thomp-
son, master of the Illinois State
Grange, in his annual address, says
that Sin the last thirty years, wheat
was raised for the first fourteen
years of that period at profit !;
and for the last eighteen years at a
loss." Mr.. Thompson is an old
party man, and yet, his is the worst
kind of calamity bowling. How
much longer will it take to bankrupt
every wheat raiser in the United
States, if, indeed, they are not
bankrupt now, if they continue to
sell wheat below cost? Mr.. Thomp-
son further points out disease by
showing that the farmers of Illinois
are mortgaged to the amount of
SAG, 900, 900, and that the interest
paid per annum on this indebted
ness is $6,8OO,OOO, while the net
profit on all farm products is only
$1,000, 900. Mr.. Thompson is not
an "ex-rebel," as is Mr.. Polk; not
a calamity howler," as is Senator
PETER. Mr.. Thompson is not even
bad enough to be Democrat; but
is a good, vote'er-straight member
of the g. o. p, and therefore his
statements are accepted as being
true, and if true, how is it that the
farmers of one of the best agricul-
tural states in the Union are owned
by Shylock to the extent of 81 per
cent. of their earnings. 1t is not
necessary, perhaps, to add that, as
long as Mr.. Thompson only finds
the presence of disease, that he will
be fine fellow; but if he should
point out causes of disease, and
suggest remedies, then every little
whelp of Shylock in the land would

On New Years day, Gov. Humph-
rey appointed ex-Congressman
Bishop w. Perkins to the position
of United States senator to take
the place of the dead Senator
Plumb.
Mr.. Perkins, we believe, is the
best one of the horde of Office
hunters that sought to fill the shoes
of the dead senator. Fill the shoes
of the dead senator, we say, yet,
not one of the crowd was worthy to
fasten his shoes But Perkins was
the best; and, although it is claim
ed by certain Republicans that the
appointment was a trade between
Humphrey and Perkins, the appoint
ment, doubtless, pleases goodly
portion of the members Of the Re-
publican party. True, pending the
appointment, some of Perkins ene-
mics published many slanderous
reports (slanderous if not true, but
maybe true) about him, but there is
no doubt that he is a much better
man than any of his calumniators.
Mr.. Perkins is by no means a
brilliant man, and is no more to he
compared with Senator PETER, his
colleague, than night is to be COM
pared with day. He will accom-
plish little, or nothing, during the
shsrt time he will be allowed to
remain in the senate.
A new legislature-senate and
lower house-is to be elected next
fall, which will select a senator, and
his name will not be Perkins.
The people are tired of age-of-
consent senators, and they will not
return the gang who blocked"
every effort of the house of repre-
sentatives to enact laws for the
benefit of the people. An entirely
new set of senators will be elected,
and they will be men who are in
touch with the masses. Moreover,
they will elect senator whose
sympathies are with the masses.

PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY.

Wisconsin has within the last few years
undergone a wonderful change, and is to-
day one of the most prosperous and pro-
ductive states in the union, and what has
made it so? Why, because her rich fertile
lands are well adapted and produce large
crops of wheat, oats. corn, barley, rye, po-
tatoes, hay, fax, hops and tobacco; be-
cause her lumber and timber trade exceeds
that OF any state east OF the Rocky Mount
aims, because OF her enormous manufac-
turing interests, the quality and value OF
her live stock, saying nothing OF her min
ing products, fisheries and enormous wa
ter powers. This is a desirable state for
settlers intending to locate IL the North
west.
The Wisconsin Central Lines, as its name
would indicate, penetrates the center OF
the state, and tributary to its lines are the
choicest farming and timber lands. A.
