IVliHt Liberty will It AbollshT
One of the pueuiuatlo dynamite Buns of
tb pattern designed for th crulsorVesuvms
as recently tried at Fart La Fayette and
the result was eminent'., successful. The
problem Is quit well solved In relation to
coast aud harbor defences, judging from
the opinions of some of our scientists as
ell as from one of Uncle Jonathan a edit
ors, the London Engineer, who comes out
language as follows: "We may allow
something for pardonable exaggeration anil
till we have enough left to induce the be
lief that Uncle Sam has got hold of a craft
which an Iron clad would not care to fljht
for the tun of the thing." We areevldenl
making great strides in the Improvements
of the day. Look for instance at our rail
roads, steamboats, tcilegraph, telephone,
the use of electricity, with many of our
lesser Inventions adopted by the people and
have proven beneficial to the community at
large.
But In the midst of all this we have a
great cancer upon our body politic, me
liquor licensing system, upon which there
littl or no improvement, unless it should
be high license, which wo think only makes
the liquor traffic more powerful, degrading
nd debasing In Its consequences and more
Injurious to the community. Now whilst
there, is so much of our treasure expended
for Intoxicants every year, so many families
ruined, so many heart-broken mothers
eeping over their fallen sons who have
become lnebreates through the use of alco
holic drinks engendered by rum shops and
ebasing lager beer saloons. Why do we
uffer all this ? It it simply because we
give people the power by law to llye at the
expense of the morals of the public. Yes,
e sign petitions for license, go bail for
ruinsellers, become partners in their noto
rious, and debasing practices. Now tbe
question arises how aro we goicg to stop It?
The remedy Is yery simple. Abolish our
present ridiculous license laws, rote for the
constitutional amendment on the 18th of
June next. Some say that will bo throw
ing away our liberty. Of course It will be
tho means of abolishing the liberty that
some people take, namely, of virtually
taking the bread frm poor people's chll-
Iran, clothing them in rags, compelling
their moihem to toll at the wash tub to
earn something to purchase coarse food to"
sustain themselves and offspring. But what
liberty will It abolish that Is beneficial to
the communlnf 1 know of none. Are
not all laws Intended to prohibit evil? Cer
tainly they should bo. Oiheuvkb.
Retrospect.
Th borough election is over and a glance
at the outcome brings te view some very
stern facts. The Democrats were lenient
nough and disinterested enough to sacri
dee the best otHces for the sake of the
Mugwumps. The Republicans certainly
have reason to rejoice oyer the result. By
upportlng the side show they had nothing
o lose but all to gain, aud It's no marvel
that the Republicans alwa'S know and
regard tbe Democrats as being not "up to
lime." A few hundred majority an'd tho
best offices In the bands of the minority
means Ireacuerv and lack of duty. The
parly promoters are either treacherous
nemselves or are loathe In tha trust Im
posed. It's a pity that not ever, one who
Is fc Democrat feels It Ills duty to suppott
his party's ticket. Tbe Republicans always
lo it. Why should not the Democrats ?
1'liey have the greater number to choose
from aud consequently should hav as
efficient nominees But tills coolness and
Indifference must have lis cause. Some
body is to blame. The organization seems
lo be rotten at the core and at the tueicy ol
those who belong to it for the sake of
avarice. We cannot expect harmony and
good results until treachery Is eradicated
and the treacherous are deposed.

Nothing In tbe AVlda World so Good.
I was afflicted, with Kidney disease. Dr.
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of Rondout,
N. Y., I say it with a perfect recollection
of all that was done for me besides, is the
only thing that gave me permanent relief.
I have recommended this medicine to many
people for Kidney disease and they all
agree in saying that It has not Its equal in
the wide world for this complaint. Lyman
Crawford, Druggist, Springfield, Mass.
There are 32 cases of ecarlet fever at

Home Evidence
No other preparation has won success at
home equal to Hood's Sarsaparllla. In
Lowell, Mass., where It Is made, It Is now,
as It has been for years, tho leading medicine
for purifying the blood, and toning and
strengthening the system. This " good name
at home" Is "a tower of strength abroad."
It would require a volume
to print all Lowell people
have said In favor of Hood's
Barsaparllla. Mr. Albert
Estcs, living at 23 East Pine
Street, Lowell, for 15 years
Pooplo
of
Lowoll
employed as boss carpenter by J. W. Bennett,
president of the Erie Telephono Company,
had a large running toro come on hit leg,
which troubled blm a year, when ho began to
take Hood's Sarsaparina, Tho sore soon grew
less In slie, and In a short time disappeared.
Jos. Dunphy,2l4Cen
tral Street, Lowell, had PralSO
swellings and lamps
on bis face and neck,
Hood's
which nood's sarsapa- sarsaparilla
rllla completely cured. 1
Mrs. C. W. Marriott, wife of the First As
sistant Fire Engineer ot Lowell, says that
for is years sho was troubled with stomach
disorder and sick headache, which nothing
relieved. The attacks came on every fort
night, when she was obliged to take her bed,
and was unable to endure any noise. She
took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and after a tune
tho attacks ceased entirely.
Many more might be given had we room.
On tbe recommendation ot people ot Lowell,
who know us, ws ask you to try

My Laura's hands are smooth and soft,
I love to feel their touch;
Yet how she keeps them so I oft . ;
Have wondered very much.
"Tis Ivory Soap," she archly cried,
"I use no other spell,
And as I clean all else beside,
My hands improved as well."
A WORD OF WARNING,
rhere are many white soapj, each represented to be "Just as good at tho 'Ivory'i "
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for " Ivory Soap and Insist upon getting It
