The men and women in the south
should keep well posted as to the great
est of all modern wars. The difference
between the northern and southern
armies vas simply immense. The Mes
senger has often given the approx
mate numbers-more than 2, 100000 Of
federals in the army to 600, 900 confed-
crates. The federals had perhaps 5000
i'm the navy and the south may have
had Is. 900. But we wish TO refer To the
armies as they opposed each other.
General 10. Johnston had 5000 ut
Dalton. Ga. Sherman had a great army
opposing. Alexander Stephens in his
school History says: With this. by
his unsurpassed mastery skill and
strategy, he succeeded in checking and
thwarting Sherman's designs Err
months, as Lee had baffed those OF
Grant"
Sherman lost heavily and ~JohnstcE's
loss was small comparatively. Grant
had probably 200, 900 men at his cali
and us, 769 men and ga field guns
when he began his long tusslc with
General Lee. The latter had not in any
battle probably more tina $1,000. He
had in all from the Wilderness to Cold
Harbor not to exceed 1900. One esti-
mate puts his entire force al 100, 900.

THE PLUMBING RAID.

The plumbers trust, which has a
'leadpipe cinch'' on the householders of
the town. has drawn down upon itself
the hostility of the Board of Health.
II already had the ili-will Of the public.
AZ soon as the trust got the plumbing
regulations u wanted prices were put
MP and the dealers In plumbing supplies
were drawn into the compact SO that
householders could get no material
with which 10 do their own plumbing
or have II done by imported hands. The
writer OF this topic was lately told by
. journeyman plumber that the mini
mum daily pay OF the man who patches
lead pipes is $40. The same workman
wanted 81 for lifting up a washbowl
that had been crowded down from It's
setting. bending the exhaust pipe-a
Job which a coolie servant with a NAL
let and bit OF putty did In ten min
utes. According to the Board Of Health
leading member of which was inter
viewed last night. the prices for plumb
ing have been forced so high that peo.
pie are letting needful repairs 20 a,
riak to their health and that OF their
neighborhoods. Some Orientals have
been obliged to stop building because
Of the exactions OF the trust and ar
architect reports that he can no longe,
figure the cost Of plumbing into his
estimates because he does not know
what II will be a week ahead. The
motto OF the trust Ia All the traffic
win bear" and the greed Of Its mem.
bers has become intolerabie. It Is a
matter Of adding aNdoilar here and an
other dollar there until the aggregate
sum IL a robbery TO which the public
ought not TO submit another day. A
favorite trick Of these lead pipe bandits
70 10 tear up things about 50 Job until
= $50 bill can be made out for II.
The obvious remedy Is to repeal the
plumbing regulations and send q gen.
eral Invitation to the Coast for more
plumbers. A movement Of the latter
sort . few weeks ago was headed on
by the announcement Of Inspector Duff
~ that he had already sent for twenty
four. We are curious to know whether
he really did 80 and would be glad to
have the chance to publish evidence
generating him from the charge I'm
piled By the rumor that salary of $50
per month does not impart SUFFICIENT
0rmness TO his backbone while deaIing
with the raiders Of the ring.

Once or twice a year the good house
wife has a thorough house cleaning. The
house has been swept and busted every
day in the year, but the housewife knows
that in spite of vigilance dust accumu
1ates in cracks and corners, and is only
to be removed by special effort.
It's the same way with the body. You
look after it every day. You take all
the ordinary precautions of cleanliness
and health. Yet the body needs its
special cleaning to rid it of the accumu-
1ations of waste and poisonous matter
which invite disease. Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, taken regu-
1ar1y once or twice a year, would ave
many a sickness. It purifes the blood,
strengthens the stomach, and c1eanses
the body of poisonous accumu1ations.
