Senator 1'ltitt has given out the following state ment: "The general opinion of those at the conference held yesterday nt the Fifth Avenue hotel was that the police condi tions existing in New York ought to have the attention of the legislature, but that it would be uselesa to pass any bill, us the governor bus declared that he would veto It. Some of those present favored a state police law and others fa vored a metropolitan district, but it was conceded by all thut nothing should be done at present. I regret the situation, ns I believe that some action by the leg islature is important for the city and the Republican party, and I think thnt such will be tho general public opinion soon. But if nothing is to be done and if the present bad conditions are to be sub mitted to, the legislature is not responsi ble for that. If it turns out in the next municipal election that the judgment which I hnve formed upon this subject has been wrong, then I shall be glad thnt Taiumuny has been left in control of the police."

Hut it would be a sav age as well as a stupid thing to beat a weary man or a starving man hecause ne laggen 111 Lis work. So in treating the lapging liver it is a great mistake to lash it with drastic 'Irugs. In ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred n torpid or sluggish liver is but a symp om of an ill-nonrished body, whose organs ire weary with overwork. Let your liver alone. Start with the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in proper working order, and see how quick ly your liver will be ome active and ener getic. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery has made many marvelous cures of "liver trouble" by its wonderful control ot the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re stores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the bloodmaking ulands. cleanses the system from poisonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs.
