FROM EX-JUDGE noah DAVIS.

NEW YORK, March IL, 1896
Gentlemen: have given considerable
examination to your Encyclopedia
Dictionary, with view, so far as prac-
ticable to determine it's value as a
work of use to the public generally, and
to persons who, like myself have a pro-
fessional interest in the question. I
have become satisfied that for general
use 1t has no superior in any Of the
qualities that make up good Dictfon-
airy. To these qualities it adds fund
of encyclopedia knowledge which I
have never seen in such in a work, and
which enables the student to trace the
derivation of words and their signifi-
cation and uses with great ease and per-
feet confidence.
It is in my opinion also Of great pro-
fessona1 value to clergymen, physi-
clans and lawyers in developing the
philosophy of words and their uses and
derivation as affecting questions pecu-
liar to their respective professions.
feel at liberty, therefore, to give the
work my hearty commendation.

The Herald a few days ago called at
teHtion to the fact that all railway
employees in this section were being
supplied with gold-bug literature by the
Hanna Railway Age, and were being
informed that their jobs would be
lost, their wages cut and other calami-
ties heaped upon them by the election
of BRYAN.
The other side is now having an in
ming. The A R. u. is sending its cir
cular TO all employees and every one is
receiving the following.
A copy was handed The Herald yes
terday and is herewith appended:
To Members of the American Railway
Union and all railway employees in
1he United States:
Greeting:-The undersigned, consti-
tuting the board of directors of the
American Railway Union, desire to adj
dress you upon a matter Of momentous
import in connection with the great po-
litical campaign now in progress. You
have no doubt been struck with the I'M
preeedented activity and astounding
tactics OF railway owners and managers
in this campaign. High officials are go
ing up and down the lines addressing
employees and warning them against
the frightful consequences of free silver
coinage. Roundhouses, depots and shops
have beer temporarily changed into po-
litical wigwams. Sound money" clubs
have been organized and employees in
Inundated TO join them. Circulars and
campaign documents are being deliver
ed to employees with their wages, and
in many instances employees are given
plainly to understand that their con-
tinuance in service depends upon their
supporting the gold standard candi-
dates. In this proceeding. the money
question only is permitted to be dis
cussed, and only one side of that.
NOW, WHAT OF ALL THIS?
The railroad managers are overwhelm-
ing employees with predictions of
frightful disaster which viii follow in
the wake Of free coinage. Wages will
be cut in two, they say thousands will
be thrown out of employment and the
country ruined. This one issue IS
forced upon employees to the exclusion
of ali others. Their minds are not to
be diverted from the free silver calana-
ity a single instant. It is to command
their united, ceaseless and terrified gaze
to the very election booth, so that by no
possibility may the discovery be made
that sound money" is only a pretex.
for deceiving and hoodwinking employ
ees, and that railroad managers have
a totally different motive for transform
ing the corportions they represent into
huge Republican machines in this cam
paign.
THE MONEY QUESTION

various forms since the foundation of

shikar he returned TRANQUILITY to his din
ner. Here we had a depredator bold as
we'll as cunning, and obviously a clean
feeder. OF course. 1 do not assume that
the otter usually, or even frequently,
seeks his prey on land. 1 am content to
know that he is capable of doing so as
occasion serves, and that in such a case,
at all events, he does not seize his vic
tins from below.
About the same date at which this GU
rious rabbit incident was reported to me,
l received from the same neighborhood
an account, equally well authenticated,
of the otter's modus operandi when in
pursuit of the fish, which, we may safely
assume, form his principal diet. A pike,
guessed at some seven pounds, was seen
basking under an overhanging tree on
the Mole. Nearly above him ran a bare
Dough. Along that bough an otter was
seen to Creep wish 1 could find some
apter word to express the providers steal
thy, sinuous movement-till he was close
above the pike, down on whose back he
dropped or slid, at once fastening all his
claws in the fish. and, as 1 fully believe,
though the spectators eye could not note
the movement with certainty, fixing the
long grip of his jaws just over the juno
ton of his skull and spine. London

How the human system ever re-
covers from the bad effects of the
nauseous medicines often literally
poured into it for the suppositive re-
lief of dyspepsia, liver complaint, con
stipation, rheumatism and other all
ments, is mystery. The mischief
done by bad medicines is scarcely less
than that caused by disease. If they
who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, con-
stipated or rheumatic, would oftener
be guided by the experience of invalids
who have thoroughly tested Hostett-
ers Stomach Bitters, they would IN
every instance obtain the speediest aid
derivable from rational medication.
This medicine is a searching and at
the same time a thoroughly safe
remedy, derived from vegetable
sources, and possessing, in conse-
quence of its basis of pure spirits,
properties as a medicinal stimulant not
to be found in the fiery local bitters
and stimulants often resorted to by
the debilitated, dyspeptie and langusd.

In view of all these facts-facts of
tremendous import which cannot be sue
cess'fully controverted, we pledge our
united and unwavering support to
William j. Bryan for president, and ap-
peal to railway employees and all work

81 may claim some right says H. R.
Frances, ito speak confidently of the OF
ters proceedings when in pursuit of his
prey, since l was the first person to re-
cord. from the testimony of intelligent
eye witnesses. the course of his dealing
with his victims, both by land and by wa
ter 1t is unlucky that Major Fisher who
writes on such subjects with the keenest
interest of sportsman, should not have
seen this testimony, which would have
saved him the gratuitous error of deny
ing that the otter seeks his prey on land
as we'll as IN the water.
No doubt this error has been encour-
aged by the position of Lutra's eyes,
which look upward from above a rather
fiat snout Naturalists at once inferred
that this arrangement was for the con-
venience of the otter in Selling. his Sip
perry victims from below. This being de-
monstrably mistake, we are tempted 10
suggest that this upward gaze enables
him in his long dives to keep in view the
course of the eddies and the outline of
the bank-matterS which closely concern
him. But of course this is mere connect
ure. We know however that, whether
on land or n the water he seiZes his prey
from above, milking almost in half mo-
ment his four claws, and INJECTING with
eager haste what is designed to be a fatal
bite When he was watched while seiZ-
ing a rabbit on the bank of the Mole, he
seemed not to have bitten deep enough,
and dragged his victim, piteouSly SQueal-
ing. into the river, where he deliberately
drowned it, and then ate it at his leisure,
washing the flesh from time to time, so as
to suggest that the warm blood was over
strong for his digestion.
The observer on this occasion, whose
attention was first drawn by the cr-es
OF the rabbit, was fortunately himself as
master of otte- hounds. used to watching
the stealthy nlaneuvers of the enemy. He
had with him a sharp fox terrier, and,
though on the opposite side of the stream
to that on which the otter was dining,
rather expected the latter TO make hun
self scarce when the dog appeared. But
the marauder showed amusing GOODNESS;
he dropped into the stream, raised his
head above water a few yards from the
bank. and watched the terriers proceed
ings. Having satisfied himself that the
dog had no taste for anything beyond dry
