AGAINST CONFISCATI0N.
Sound Arguments Put Forward In the
Famous Hughes Veto.

sound Arguments Put Forward In the
Famous Hughes Veto.
Referring to the two cent fare bill
which he recently vetoed. Governor
Hughes of New York gave utterance
to his views on the subject of confisca-
tory legislation as follows:
ut Is of the greatest Importance not
only that railroad corporations should
be compelled to respect their public
obligations, but also that they should
be permitted to operate under condi-
lions which will give fair return
for their service. Upon this depends
not simply the security Of investors.
but the security Of their employees and
the protection Of every form Of indus
try and commerce through the main
tenance and extension Of necessary
transportation facilities. Nothing could
be more opposed to the interests Of the
community as whole than to cripple
transportation corporations by arbi-
trary reductions Of earnings.
Il fully appreciate the fact that those
who have promoted this bill believe
that such rate would be fair. But
deem 1t most important that the policy
of dealing with matters Of this sort
arbitrarily, by legislative rule Of gen.
eral application without reference to
the demands Of justice in particular
cases, should be condemned.
Every workingman, every trades
man and every citizen believing HIM
self to have aught ut stake in the pros
perity Of the country should deter
minedly oppose 1t, for it not only
threatens the stability Of business en-
terprise which makes our prosperity
possible, but 1t substitutes unreason
for sound judgment the Ill considered
demands Of resentment for the spirit
Of fair play and makes impossible pa
tient and honorable effort to correct

for its blood cleansing and specific cura-
tive effects upon the diseased mucous
membranes. 1t will cure a very large
per cent. of all cases, even after they
have reached the Lucrative, or chronic
stage, and no matter of hOw manu- years.
stdnding they may be. 1t is equally
efficacious in affections of the mucous
lining OF the larynx, bronchia and res
piratory organs in general, thus curing
bronchitis, laryngitis and other affec-
tions giving rise to obstinate, hang-on-
coughs. 1t is not SO good in acute
coughs following sudden colds, as in
the lingering, chronic coughs. Nor
must the "Golden Medical Discovery"
be expected to work miracles. It will
not cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that, but
for all obstinate hang-on-coughs due to
laryngial or bronchial irritation and
kindred affections, of the throat which,
if neglected or badly treated, are likely
to lead up to consumption, the Wis
covery" can be relied upon to produce
the best curative results.
The "Golden Medical Discovery is,
from its tonic and specific curative con-
troll over mucous surfaces, especially
efficacious in curing indigestion, dys-
pepsia, weak stomach and Liver Com
plant" or biliousness. Even liberation
of the stomach and bowels has in thou
sands OF cases been cured by It; also
obstinate chronic diarrhea.
In addition to all the foregoing, not
the least valuable of the marvelously
etticacious properties possessed by the
uDiscovery" Is the unequaled regulat-
ing and strengthening effect exerted by
1t over the hearts action. 1t has made
some wonderful cures of very pro-
bounced valvular and other affections
OF that organ.
The reason why ~Golden Medical
Discovery" cures so wide range OF dis
eases is made plain in q booklet sent
free on request mailed to DR.. r. v.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. II interested,
send for it.
The powerful Alternative or blood pur-
flying properties possessed by the rDis-
covery" will naturally suggest its use
for the cure Of blotches, pimples, erup-
tions; as eczema, salt-rheum, and other
skin affections in all of which it has
made remarkable cures; also In scrofu-
lous sores and old, open ulcers, or eat
ing sores. To heal the latter, use DR..
Pierce's All-Healing Salve as q local
application, while taking the cGolden
Medical Discovery to correct the blood
and cleanse the system. A box will be
mailed to any address on receipt of
fifty four cents in stamps. If your
druggist don't have it in stock. address

DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tains no alcohol, and no narcotics or
other harmful or habit-forming drugs,
as will be seen from its published in
gradients. 1t contains only such native,
medicinal roots as are most highly rec
commended by leading medical writers
and practitioners of all the several
schools of practice, for the cure of wom-
ans delicate and peculiar ailments. 1t
is safe for women to take IN any con-
ditiOn of the system, as it assists Nature
in restoring the healthful action of all
the organs distinctly feminine.
Natures own cure. In fact, VA
vorite Prescription is Natures own
cure for the many arrangements and
weaknesses peculiar to women. 1t is
advised for no other diseases.
If you are q weak, tired, nervous,
over-worked, broken-down, pain-racked
woman, either young, old or middle
aged, suffering from frequent headaches,
backaches, dizziness or fainting spells,
gnawing or distressed feeling in stomach,
perhaps see imaginary specks, or dark
spots floating before the eyes, have
dragging-down or heavy feeling in lower
abdomen, or pelvic region, with, per-
haps, pelvic catarrh, or other symptoms
of functional or organic affections of the
distinctly feminine organs, then you will
make no mistake il you resort to the
use of DIR. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription.
The most advanced medical science
knows no better agents for the cure of
all such diseases than are happily and
tremendously combined in this widely
famed Prescription" of DR.. Pierce.
You can't afford to accept any secret
nostrum of unknown composition and
of questionable merit as q substitute
for this professionally endorsed and time
tested remedy OF KNOWN COMPOSITION,
simply that some unprincipled dealer
may make little larger profit. Don't
expect it to perform miracles but give
it fair, persevering tria! and it is not
likely to disappoint you. 1t won't "dis-
solve tumOrs no medicine ariH. It
TiH cure larger percentage of all cur
able ailments which especially afilict
wOmankind than any other medicine
sold by druggists for that purpose.
AS to DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery it has very large range of
application, yet it is by no means rec
sesses marvellous Alternative, or blood
cleansing, properties and is at the same
time most invigorating tonic, or
strength giver. 1t exerts a specific,
cleansing, soothing and healing effect
upon all the lining mucous membranes
OF the system; hence, its great curative
value in all catarrhal affections, no
matter where located.
In Chronic Nasal Catarrh, it is well
TO cleanse the passages two or three
times q day with DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy fluid, while persisting in the
use of the "Golden Medical Discovery"

ey lay even now on the parlor table

physical fear Of thieves. Down she
went and got the money. counted out
to her unmitigated astonishment, $500
and thrust It beneath her pillow, with
shiver. She wished she had thought
to tell him to take care of 1t. But sup
pose the thieves were to fall ON him

spent their sympathy ON the thieves.
She rejoiced that the money was
where 1t was. Then she tried to re-
