A GRAND FEATURE of Hoods Sar-
saparilla is that while it purifes the
blood and sends it coursing through the
veins full OF richness and health, it
also imparts new life and vigor to
every function of the body. Hence the
expression 80 often heard: Hoods
Sarsaparila made new person of me-"

mon now.

There is no doubt that want OF bet
ter material and occupation for ones
thoughts is largely responsible for
the evil done in the world by bad
books and gossip, Satan being just
as prompt to find mischief for idle
minds as for idle hands. The man
or woman who is intent upon some
study, or occupied earnestly in some
profession, or busy in doing good to
others, has no leisure for reading
trashy novels or for idle chatter about
his or her neighbors. And, as the
rapid stream that comes dashing
down from the mountain, turning the
wheels of mills and irrigating the
thirsty lands in its course, has no op-
portunity to grow foul and turbid,
but keeps it's waters sweet and spark
ling until they reach the sea- so the
busy life helps to keep the soul pure
until it flows into the ocean OF eter
nifty.

Let the Sunday Law Stand.
From N. o. Picayune.l

From N. o. Picayune.l
Everybody in New Orleans knows
what dead letter the State Sunday
law has been in this city during the
greater part of the time it has been on
the statute books.
1t is IN many respects a good law,
intended, as it was, to insure to the
busy toilers of this city a day of rest
in every seven. It has never been OBJ
jected to in any serious way, except
by the proprietors of drinking sa
looms. The men who are employed
in such places and sell liquor over
the bar would be glad of day of
rest if it were possible; but it is not,
because the greed of their employers
is more powerful than the law that
ought to confer on them respite
from their seven days of drudgery.
Theliquor saloons are the greatest
sources and centers of political power
in this city. They exercise absolute
control over the city government, and
1T has, therefore, been impossible to
find an official who is charged with
the execution of the laws who will
take any serious measures to enforce
the Sunday statute.
In view of this fact, various efforts
have been made in the State Legisla-
ture to- secure the repeal of this law,
but in vain. Finally, in the present
House of Representatives, a bill has
been passed to exempt the city of
New Orleans from the operation OF
the Sunday law, while it is to remain
IN force in other parts of the State.
This bill has yet to pass the Senate.
The Picayune hopes it will not pass
the Senate, but will be defeated there.
Why should working people be cut
Oft from day of rest? If this law
be repealed in New Orleans, an en-
ployer can force his people to work
on Sunday, and they will have no
legal redress. Why should all the
working classes of this great city be
deprived of legal day OF rest at the
command of the barroom proprietors
They care nothing for the law, but
it is of some use to q vast mass oi
workpeople.
Itdoes not follow that the law will
always be dead letter. It is by nc
means certain that every official who
shall take an oath to enforce and exe
cute the laws in this city will continue
to commit perjury. It is not matter
of course that every official who shal
swear to do his duty as an officer vii
make mental reservation as regards
the Sunday law. The day will come
sooner or later. when public official
will realize that an oath is binding OF
their conseiences, and that dut,
means something serious. When tha
time shall come the laws will be exc
cuted, and the Sunday law will b
one of them.
Then let it remain on the statut
books where it is. Let the Senate no
interfere with it. While the Sunda
law remains Oh the statute books i
obedience to the wishes of blame fo
not executing it will rest on unfaitf
ful officials. Why should the goo
r people of this city want that odiul
= and crilninality transferred from th
shoulders of those officials to thei
own! They do not want to shoulde
d any such guilt, and, in the name {
= the good people of this city, the Pi'
, ayune urges the State Senate to le
the Sunday law remain on the statut
t book.

The Island of Madagascar has two
distinct climates, two classes of ma
tives and two classes of fauna and
fora. The Island is about the size
of France. Along the coast it is trop-
ical and malariousj and the natives
are darker and larger than in the in
terror. The interior is high table
land and mountainous. There the
climate is cooler and the natives
smaller and lighter in color than on
the coast. But in the interior they
are more intelligent and they rule the
island.

Debs is a Common Enemy.
Philadelphia Times.l

Philadelphia Times.
President Debs, OF the American
Railway Union, is common enemy.
He is the enemy of labor; he is the
enemy of capital; he is the enemy of
Industry, of commerce, of finance and
of trade; he is the enemy of every
thing that improves the condition of
workingmen and that tends to the
general prosperity of the country.
He has wantonly and arbitrarily
deprived scores of thousands of his
followers of their daily labor and their
daily bread when they had no dispute
whatever with their employers.
By the interruption of trade and
traffic he has increased the cost of
nearly all the necessaries of life to
the workingmen when they are de-
prived of all sources of income by the
strike he has ordered.
He has deprived labor of millions
of dollars that would have been paid
in wages during the present year by
construction of new railways, which
will be halted now by the great un-
certainty of the cost of operating
them.
He has stopped foreign investment
in our railway securities for the time,
and probably preciritated the return
of many millions of such investments
to be paid from our already scant
supply of gold, thereby crippling the
whole business and industry of the
country.
He has halted American investment
in industrial Enterprises which would
give employment to workmen. All
such investments are readily hindered
by uncertainty, and the disturbance
in labor circles is one of the surest
methods of stopping investments
which would give employment to
labor.
He has opened the door for the re
duction of wages throughout our en-
tire railway system. The railways
have been struggling against mos
averse tides during the last year, and
many have been compelled to yielG
to the possession of receivers, bn
thus far they have almost invariabl.
maintained the wages of their work
men. With loss of million dol
r lars day imposed upon the railway
and those interested in their traffic
by strike that is as costly as it i
wicked and revolutionary, the rail
; ways will be compelled in the nea
future to reduce the wages of thei
employers.
Such is the entertainment to whic
President. Debs, of the America
Railway Union, is inviting his delude
workingmen, and if they shall nc
soon understand that he is a commo
enemy of labor and of everything tha
promotes the interest of labor, the
must be strangely Indifferent to thei
own interests as we'll as to the intel
8 ests of the whole country.
