FREE TRADE TESTIMONY.

The Textile Manufacturer of Man
chester, England, has the following to
say about the Wilson law:
One of the most striking effects of
the Wilson bill has been the increase
in the imports of rags and shoddy,
which shows that the American pub
lie, if it is getting it's clothes any
cheaper, it is certainly getting less
value for it's money.
No one denies that this shoddy is
being used in place of wool. If furth-
er evidence of the deterioration of the
average quality of cloth used in Amer
lea since the operation of the Wilson
bill is needed, it can be found in the
record of closings and the running on
short time of many of the mills which
have always made speciality of high
grade goods. At Rockville, which is
perhaps the centre of the fine wooden
industry in New England, the mills
are running on two thirds time and
short capacity at that.
Be it remembered this is not an at
tack on the prosperity of the country
by partisan Republican paper. tits

Sick stomach comes from poor food poor

If we could examine our stomach we would
understand why it is that so little will put it
out of order.
But, unless doctors, we never see our

Shaker Digestive Cordial makes your stom-

MUST NOT WEAR EpAuLETs.
Loyal Legion of Massachusetts Nus
Change It's Regalia.

The commissioned officers of Central
commandery, L. L., o. U. A. NJ, wore
their regulation epaulets for the last
time at the big ball Thursday night.
An order will be issued from head
quarters which will designate the new
straps and epaulets, but the local com
mandery will not await that order, but
will discard the marks OF rank at once
until the new ones are issued. which
will probably be at no distant date.
This action has been brought about by
a desire to comply with the state law
which prevents anyone outside OF the
state militia or regular army from
wearing the regulation insignia of
rank. The Loyal Legion is not the
only secret organization in the city
whose mark of rank conflicts with the
law but. so far as is known, it is the
first in the state to express desire to
abide by 1t and make change which
will not conflict
AS the regulation epaulet of the le-
gion is the SAM for all the command
cries in the country complications will
arise as to the new one to be adopted.
1t has been suggested that the new
order have application only to the
Massachusetts, division and not to the
whole country. But this will be dis
cussed by the staff and line officers be-
fore the order is issued. 1t has been
the opinion of the legion officers that
the letters Il. L. which every strap
bears, made them exempt from the
law, but such is not the case. There
has never been test case of the law
since it's enactment. Some lawyers
declare that it could not be enforced
Many of the Independent military or
CARNATIONS have given up the straps,
in fact, nearly all OF them, but some
secret companies are still loath to give
UP the treasured bars. The new
epaulet will be of neat design and the
mark of the rank will be designated by
words in gold letters, for instance,
captain" "brigadier general and the
like. Worcester Spy.

SOUTH AFRICAN LONDON.

johannesburg the London of south
Africa, which was nine years ago a
barren yeldt and eight years ago a
miners camp, is now the center of some
100000 inhabitants, and increasing
about as fast as bricks and mortar can
be obtained 1t is situated directly on
top of the gold, and, on looking down
from the high ground above, it looks
to an English eye like a huge, long
drawn-out mass of tin sheds, with it's
painted iron mine chimneys running
in straight line all along the quartz
gold reef as far as you can see in either
direction. The largest, or main, reef
runs for thirty miles uninterruptedly,
gold bearing and honeycombed with
mines throughout. This even were it
alone, could speak for the stability and
continued prosperity of the Transyaal
gold trade. On a mail steamer arriv-
ing only few days ago from the cape
was said to be between 100000 and
100000 worth of gold, and the news
papers show that usually about 10000
worth is consigned by each mailboat.
AS we enter the town we find line
and well-planned streets, crossed at
places with deep CUTTERS gullies rather
Ito carry off the water which is often
in the heavy summer rains deeper than
your knees. Crossing these at fast trot,
the driver never drawing rein, the
novice is shot about, in his white-cov-
cred, two-wheeled cab, with it's large
springs, like pea in bladder. In
deed, one marvels at the daintily
dressed habitue Of the place being
swung through similarly quite uncon-
cerned, and without rumpling frill.
We pass fine public buildings, very high
houses and shops somewhat jerry
built, it is true, and goodness help
them in the event of a large street fire
but now being added to or replaced
by larger and more solid buildings.
Indeed, bricks cannot be made fast
enough for the demand, both there and
in some of the outlying Transvaal
towns where the gold boom" is on.
There are lofty and handsome shops,
with most costly contents, which can
vie with London or Paris Chambers
