A NEW REMEDY.

Our old friend, Billy Shakespeare, left us the information that there's good in everything" but sometimes we find 1t hard to discover it. An aching tooth, for example, will hardly appeal to the sufferer as a receptacle of good, not to any one but the dentist, at least. Now some of the contempora- ries have resuscitated the old theory that there's virtue in bee stings. Hav- ing had several interviews with loaded bees in times past we are free to ad- init that we failed to find the good of it. But it is insisted that a liberal stinging is a good remedy for rheuma- tism. We think it likely that a person suffering from acute rheumatism might forget 1t while the bees were stinging him. but the permanence of the cure is something about which we have doubts.
 There is one thing about the bee as a doctor that differentiates him from human physician. at least from the honest and conscientious members of the profession. When doctor ad- ministers a dose. either internally or hypodermically. his intention Is to do good, but no bee is governed by any such humanitarian views. His object Is to put the patient out of business as expeditiously and completely as pos sible. We doubt if he cares a mite whether he kills or cures, and would probably prefer the former if he could have his choice about 1t.
 And yet there is an old Latin axiom that reads' "Slmilia Similibus curan- tur," or, to put it in English in the shortest form. Like cures like" So if one Is suffering the pains occasioned by acute rheumatism it may be pos sible that an application of angry bees would counteract the pain or drive it out We doubt if it is a remedy that a patient would choose for himself and it might be difficult to find q doctor to apply it-unless the patient were claimed to a millstone. Still there may be something in it. We are moi afflicted with rheumatics. let it be un. derstood.

A NEWS JOKE.

There is an old saying that there are ncne so blind as those who will not see" and we have for quite a while looked on The Birmingham News as one of that kind. It has apparently been unable to see anything but suc- cess for Conner. but it is at last be- ginning to see the light For several days it has been comparatively cool and sane. and in its issue of Thursday, it seeks to break the fall that 1t sees ahead for itself and its candidate by getting off this little joke:
 Conner is being greeted by great and enthusiastic audiences wherever he goes. The tide of popular favor in his belief Is rising higher and higher act on the part of pr. Cunningham to withdraw his name from the race and move to make Corners nomination unanimous. The Birmingham News, willing that The Montgomery Adver- tiser be permitted to second the mo- tion.
 The News should have initiated Ar temus Ward and added this Is a joke" as postscript to the above. so that no one would have taken 1t seriously. It may be, however. that it had already made the Conner tide so high when he was running about the State with the idea in his head that he would have no opposition that it is impossible for 1t to go higher in the second round. This last round is a series of disap- p0intment to MT. Conner, and he is kept busy trying to counteract the great wave which is setting towards Gun ningham with irresistible force and which is threatening to engulf him and his ambition forever.
 Now, in order to add to the levity of the occasion The News makes the above proposition and sends it out as a specimen of newspaper humor. No doubt The News would be glad to see MT. Conner without opposition, but we think the above suggestion is real cruel to its candidate To get the nomination without opposition would be a tame affair. but to be nominated by an overwhelming majority, as The News has all along claimed he would pe, would pc real trluhpn, ana that paper shouldn't try to deprive him of such a brilliant crown Of glory. The News can't pull it's candidate out of the way of the Cunningham cyclone in any such tame method as 1t suggests, Mir. Conner has gotten himself into the path of cunningham's band wagon and may as well make up his mind to be smashed. The News should have more respect for the prospective corpse.

As to that mattef. we are not dead sure that we really got the right cadaver. but those who went after it seem satis- fled that they got the goods, and that Is enough. Now our English cousins are proposing to bring back that fla nous old psrty who went by the name of Richard the Lion Hearted, and who was killed In battle near Limoges, France. about seven hundred years ago. Dick was not what we of this day would call a well-behaved citizen, but he was king of England and was fighter from the ground up. Some of his history is not calculated to give us a high opinion of the man, but he was an Englishman, and if the mod erns can find any of him to bring back to England France should not object. He has been dead long time, but they think they can spot his remains. -...

The Reason Why Montgomery Is Not
 Getting It.
 Editor The Advertiser:--W With all the rapid improvements that Montgomery is making. it is little bit discourag- ing that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. notwithstanding their loud assurances of help in the cause, Is bad ly discriminating against us. I am Informed that this line has first class ticket on sale. Con the 14th or 18th of this month"; for SIP from New Orleans and Mobile to Chicago and return. and while the travel is right through Mont Gomery, and possibly these trains stop pin- here for meals. no one from Mont Eohery can use this rate. It we want to go to Chicago. even on one of these trains. we must pay the full fare. Is this because We happen to live In Mont Gomery?
 Upon receipt of this inquiry The Ad- vcrtiscr investigated the matter An ofhcial of the Passenger Department of Company said that it was fact that 1 low ticket rates were made for two days from New Orleans and Mobile to Chicago and return. and that the same rate was not made from Montgomery These rates. he said. were made to meet rates announced by the Illinois Central Railroad Company.

HIGH LICENSE, SUNDAY CLOSING
Principal Provisions of New Ordinance
Regulating Saloons in Hamilton
Council fleets Tonight.

A stormy session Of the town coun-
Gil was held Monday evening. A peti-
ton praying for annexation of River
view and remonstrance protesting
against the same were presented and,
it appearing that majority were
opposed to annexation the petition
was rejected.
Seven applications for saloon Ii
censes under the new ordinance were
presented, but as they were not ac-
taken. Five of the saloon men ap-
peared before the council and protest
& against the restrictions imposed by
the new ordinance. They particularly
objected to the requirement of a penal
bond and claim that the license is ex-
cessive. The matter was discussed
for more than two hours. The coun-
Gil "stood pat" however, and refused
to amend the ordinance in any parti-
cular. The aldermen took the posi-
ton that if the license was too high to
carry on the saloon business at a pro-
fit nobody was forced to engage in it.
The saloon men were given two more
days to secure their bonds and the
council will meet again tonight to con-
slider applications for licenses.
The ordinance regulating the issu-
ance of licenses and the manner of
conducting saloons within the town of
Hamilton was finally passed at the
adjourned meeting of the town council
last Wednesday evening. The meas
ure passed by unanimous vote, May
or McMurry and Aldermen Peterson,
Southwick, O'Hara, Howley and Fla
herty being present and participating.
X. A. O'Hara was appointed by the
council to fill the unexpired term of
Alderman Thomas Coffey who is now
at Tonopah New.
