A LIE AND ISLANDER.

1t is strange how some newspapers
as we'll as individuals are given to
lying; and lying too when there is
neither cause nor excuse for it; lying
when they know they are living, and
if they have any sense at all must
know that their readers know they
are lying
We are led to these observations
by an infamous lie and slander
against the South in the New Haven,
Conn. Morning. Ne,rs, of April goth.
In an editorial on the Spanish-Ameri-
can situation and the attitude of
European Powers, it could not con-
clude without a dirty diatribe
against the South and indulge in
base columnies common to Northern
sheets of its class.
But with such Tory blood as ev-
identity flows through the veins of
the New Haven papers editor we
should not be surprised at his pro-
pen>itv for lying about the South or
anything else when it serves his
purpose to do SO. Hear him:
We are. therefore. justified in as
suming that the Powers could if they
desired, make concerted movement
against the United States for the
purpose OF enforcing peace. X
1t will not be an unavoidable war nor
is it a war in the interest of human
ity.
1t could have been avoided. Spain's
readiness to make concessions proved
that. 1t will not be war in the
interest of humanity because this
Government by insisting on war
after hostilities in Cuba have ceased.
and while Spain is actually treating
with the Cubans for the purpose of
securing permanent peace, assumes
the attitude of an avenger

HALF A CENTURY OF CURES.

Fifty years of business success and

Half century of marvellous cures .
This is the unparalleled record of the

manufacturers of Ayers Sarsaparilla
and other standard family remedies
preparations that are household words
among civilized peoples on both Hem
ispheres.
The event was appropriately cele-
brated by great Jubilee banquet"
at which a notable company of dis
tinguished men and women assembled
in honor of the 50th birthday Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. What this great
remedy has done for the afflicted in
all these years is beyond estimation.
For half century it has been bless
ing to suffering humanity.
When we stop to consider the short
existence of the average proprietary
remedy, the age to which this house
has attained and the reputation it
has gained is all the more remark
able. The 5Oth anniversary Of the
establishment of the j. c. Aver Com
pany was, therefore. fitting occasion
for the holding Of its semi-centennial.
and the cele bration of it in the man
ner indicated.
The history of this house running
back through the dim vista of fifty
years is truly wonderful. From a
small beginningi it has steadily grown
in magnitude and popular favor until
to-day it is one of the largest pro-
prietary remedy laboratories in the
world, the various products of which
are standard of their class.
There can be but one reason assign
Ell for its marvellous success and that
is expressed by the one word merit.
Had not Ayers Sarsaparilla been a
most remarkable medicine. possess
ing intrinsic merit in high degree,
like countless others it would have
passed away and been forgotten long
ago. But the cures it has wrought,
the lives it has blessed, the homes
made happy by it has caused its
popularity to increase with the wears
and placed it among the great bless
ings to man.
Another reason for the long life,
wide fame and peerless success of
Ayers Sarsaparilla is that the pro-
prietors have been liberal and per-
sistent advertisers. Having a good
thing Messrs. Aver & Co. have had
the sagacity to push it along through
the medium of that best of all aids to
SucceSS-Drinters' ink
But without merit on its part all
the advertising in the world would
not have made Ayers Sarsaparilla
what it is-one of the truly great
family medicines of the world.
