In describing his experience, Mr..
Brown said:
"I went home a short time ago
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
/ had made my last visit to my office,
and that my nervous system had be-
come 80 shattered that l never would
be fitted for business again. 1 was in
such condition that I believed an in
sane asylum was staring me in the
face. found it impossible to sleep or
get any rest at any hour of the day
My wife end family became thoroughly
alarmed and insisted on sending for the
family physician. His calls seemed to
be without result, and I believed that l
was without help. Not So however, for
the messenger of health came through
DR.. Greene's Nervura which WAS recon-
mended by friend who had received
great benefit from it's use for only a few
weeks. Having suffered in a measure
from an attack similar to my own 1 be-
lieved that he knew what he was talk.
ing about, and 80 decided to try Ner-
vura.
The result in my case has been far
beyond ell Of my expectations can as
sure you. The benefits began to be APP
first bottle. Before this had not been
able to apply myself to M official duties,
but day by day 1 began to experience a
marked change for the better. and to-
day I seem as we'll as ever. For some
time had to give up business entirely
at times. / was wholly untitled for any
kind OF mental action, and at one time
thought that unless improvement came
| would become q burden to m yself and
friends. To-day. all OF that nervous
Ress has disappeared, that which the
doctors could not relieve. With the i'm
provement in my nervous system came
better health generally, and today 1
feel endowed with new vigor and health,
thanks to the use of DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. I would
not be without 1t under any circum-
stances"
Mr.. Brown says that it affords him
| much pleasure to recommend the remedy
prepared by DR.. Greene, who, he con-
siders, Is benefactor to mankind
Brown can be found at his office every
day. He honestly and enthusiastically

THE SUNDAY QUESTION IN THE NEW
YORK CAMPAIGN.

The campaign in the Empire State this
year derives its chief interest from the
excise question. There are no officers of
much importance to be elected and
national questions will figure in the can
vass only to a very limited extent. Not
long ago it looked as if the campaign
would be an exceedingly quiet and Ian
beer on Sunday afternoon has changed
apathy into lively interest. The excise
question, though it incidentally has to
do with the sale of liquor, is not really a
temperance question. Essentially 1T is
one of Sunday observance. No attempt
is making to restrain the sale of liquor on
six days Of the week. 1t is the open shop
on Sunday that the controversy is about.
1t happens to be the open liquor shop
thai is directly in question because
the demand Z to be permitted
to do business on Sunday is at
present confined to the liquor dealers,
but essentially the question is one of Sun
day observance. If the opening of liquor
shops on Sunday should be legalized, it
would be but short time before other
shop keepers would demand the same
privilege, and Sunday would soon cease
to be day of rest. The question really
at issue in New York is therefore whether
Sunday shall cease to be a day of rest in
the great cities of that commonwealth.
There is religious side to the question,
but there is an economic side as well :;
an0 the economic side ought to appeal to
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1895-10-03

the mass of the population if the religious
side does not. The laboring men OF this
country have been struggling for years
to reduce the hours of work and to con-
siderable extent they have succeeded.
Nine hours constitute days work in al
most all the trades nowadays Fagainst ten
and even twelve not many years ago, and
not few workers get in the summer
time half holidays on Saturday. But it
is curious fact that while the workers
have been struggling to cut down the
hours of work on week days they have
looked with apparent Indifference, and
sometimes with approval, upon the inroads
that have been making upon the day of
rest. While fighting valiantly and sue
cessfuHy for more leisure on week days
they have suffered themselves to be des-
poiled of much of their leisure on Sun
day. Under the specious plea of pubic
convenience and necessity many kinds OF
work are carried on on Sunday which
quarter of century ago were
on that day unknown. OF course
in defence ofgcertain kinds of work
this plea has been justly invoked, but
in many cases where it has been urged it
has constituted no justification whatever.
Probably the least defensible of all the en-
croachments upon Sunday is the open shop,
and of open shops the least defensible is
the open liquor shop. 1t is the breeder Of
dissension and strife, it contributes to
just the opposite of restfulness, it depress-
es and exhausts the physical system and
habitually patronized, it destroys man s
capacity for all the higher forms of enjoy
ment. Now if the open Sunday liquor
shop is legalized, on what grounds shall
the open grocery shop or the open dry
goods store with the hundreds other shops
of various kinds be denied the sane
sity can be invoked to justify the open
ing of these shops much more successfully
than to defend the opening of the rum
shop. When the Sunday liquor shop shall
have been legalized in New York city.
and the demand comes, as come it will,
for the opening of other kinds of shops,
and from all sorts of business,
how can il be refused, and when it is con-
scented to, as it must be eventually. what
becomes of the day Of rest which labor
now enjoys? The man who works for
wages if he is possessed of ordinary COM
mon sense will fight against the secu-
larization of Sunday from selfish motives
if for no other reason, for the breaking
down of Sunday as a day of rest means
the sacrifice of all he has gained by years
of agitation for the reduction of the hours
o labor, and much more.

sTillman's constitutional convention in
South Carolina is wrestling. with the
question of 1iegro .disfranchisement. The
plan suggested by the subcommittee is
practically the Mississippi plan, and pro
vides that all persons applying for regis
tration as voters shall pay taxes on at
least $500 worth.of property or shall be
able to read clause in the constitution, or
understand and explain it when read to
them by the registration officer" Under
this provision a man paying taxes on $500
oan vote any way, no matter how litter
ate he may be; SO can man without the
$500 if he can read, but if he is destitute
of the $500 and cannot read, his right to
the suffrage depends upon his ability to
understand and explain clause of the
constitution read to him. 1t will be seen
that here is fine opportunity for dis
eliminating against black and in favor of
white citizens AS the election officers
are to be the judges of the voter s ability
to understand or explain the constitution
they can always decide, if they see fit,
that the black voters explanation is in
sufficient and the white voters sufficient,
and there is no appeal. There would be
no valid objection. perhaps, Ito an educa-
tional qualification that applied to blacks
and whites equally, but this one is simply
a contriYance to cheat the black voter I'M
der the forms of law.

LEEDS ( PENNINGTON
r. r.. CO.
First Mortgage 6 per cent Bonds,
DUE JULYI, 1896.

We have bought $633,0O0 Maine
Central Consol. As, due 1912, and
offers the holders of Leeds and Far
mington 6's, the opportunity to ex-
change the same for the former on
the following favorable terms.
On or before Nov. 18th, 1895, we
will deliver Maine Central Consol. as
at par, and prepay the interest due
April 1st, 1895, at 4 per cent per an
mum for the unexpired time, receiv-
ing in exchange an equal number of
Leeds and Pennington bonds, allow
ing par and 6 per cent accrued in
terest to date of exchange.
The above is equivalent to selling
the Leeds & Pennington bonds on a
8 7-8 per cent interest basis, and OBJ
tanning the long consolidated As at
par, by using the premium obtained
on the former in purchasing the As.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that these 4 per cent bonds are
now practically a first mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST.
253,300 outstanding when the
Leeds s. Pennington are converted
out Of total. Of s9,00o,000, to take
the place of prior lien bonds; in five
years this balance will have been re-
tired and the consolidated mortgage
become first lien.
The saving in the interest charges
in the next few years is approx
mately $4,000; this is in addition to
amount saved in 1894 of $21, 700,
making total Of nearly 100000 or
2 per cent on the stock; increasing
the present net earnings to over
100000 or 10 per cent. on the capt
tai; 6 per cent. is now paid, the bal
ance going to surplus und improve
ments.
We recommend the proposed ex-
change at this time, the holders
thereby obtaining long, choice Sc
curity at a moderate cost.
The As not exchanged, as above,
will be offered to the public at an
advanced price.
