S M; The Campaign in Iowa. The Republican party of Iowa is already in the field with an unusually strong State ticket. It is committed in favor of three certain lines of public policy 2 1. State control of railroads. 2. Protection to American industry. 3. Uncomprising hostility to the saloon. The State is in very comfortable cir- cumstances ; with ten million dollars’ worth of public buildings, it does not owe a dollar of bonded debt. The people have more dollars in their banks and fewer convicts in their penitentiaries than they have ever had before in proportion to the population. The Democracy will necessarily be com- pelled to make their fight upon their two lofty principles : 1. Free trade is prosperity. 2. Whiskey is liberty. Fate and the future, God and nature, reason and justice are against them. The prospect of Democratic success in Iowa seems as remote as of old. Indeed this is true of all the Northwestern States, old and new. Vinegar and Molasses. The new laws in which the farmers are par- ticularl y interested are those relating to the manufacture and sale of vinegar and molas- ses. The manufacture; of vinegar are forbid- den to make or sell any article under that name which is not produced wholly from the juice of apples, and are forbidden to add to the product any hurtful substance. The vine- gar must have a certain strength. The acetic acidity must be not less than four per cent. by weight of absolute acetic acid, and in case of cider vinegar not less than two per cent. by weight of cider vinegar solids upon full evaporation over boiling water. The makers of vinegar must brand the package contain- ing the product with his name and residence. If the article is sold at retail at the place of manufacture in quantities of less than five gallons, the branding will not be required. The penalty for violating this law is from $10 to $100. The penalty for adulterating vinegar is from $ 10 to $100. The dairy com- missioners are instructed to enforce the law and any person obstructing them in the dis- charge of their duties shall be liable to a fine $7 or imprisonment for 30 days orboth. “‘ v7 There are some people who seem to think they have a through ticket on a vestibule train for heaven. Having paid their pew- rent, taken their seat in the church for a pleasing Sunday service; feeling no obliga- tion to do anything to move the Church on- ward sniritually, they consider themselves at liberty to find fault with the minister and and chair; just as the critical and complain- ing passenger, who having paid for his tick- et and secured his berth, looks upon the train, officers, and all as bound to be simply subservient to his individual fancy and pleas- ure. Is it not time that those who are divine- ly cemmanded to work out their own salva- tion with fear and trembling, got rid of this passenger notion or getting to heaven?— The Living Church ———-———-‘+>-——-———— Oystermen Discourazed. Fair Haven oyster growers are discouraged at the present outlook for their business, and not only the present but the future. Yesterday a prominent dealer said that for the first time in his experience there had been two consecutive years of poor results. The shells that were planted have not re— eeived a set. There are only a few dealers who report a set, and in these cases the sets are extremely light. Early in August it was thought by some that the rains had caused the trouble, but upon examination later it is found that the embryo bivalve has suffered from its natural enemies. The starfish and drills are said to be worse this year than ever before in the history of the business. Since the cultivation of the oy~ ster has been carried on so extensively the increase of the fish that feed on the oyster has been equally rapid. It seems that these cts are indigenous to Long Island water, especially at the mouth of streams where the water is more or less brackish. In the Chesapeake Bay the water is fresher and oystermen do not have any such trouble. George Dayton, who planted some shells ofi Merwin’s Point, reports that in making four dredges he caught up only about a dozen shells with oysters on them. C. D. Parmlee, who has a few acres in shells out in the sound, reports no set. Lancraft Brothers report a very light set near the rocks at Merwin’s Point. Ludington & Palmer planted a few shells below the bar- bor and have found no set. They report a light set on the shells at Milford. Jerry Smith, of Oyster Point, reports a good set of Black Rock, Bridgeport. It appears that all the growers along the sound report very poor sets, and in most cases no set at all. But in the public beds at Bridgeport there is an exception. A stream of fresh water passes over these beds, and it is thought that this is the reason for good results seen there. In the lower end of New Haven harbor there is alight set, but further out where the water is more brackish and salty there is no set at all. It 18 reported that two or three oyster boats at Oyster Point can be bought for a song. Dealers in Fair Haven are not yet ready to sell their boats, but if the busmess does not improve by another year several will sell out and quit the busines. Leonard Bailey, who has been inspecting the beds near the lighthouse, reports that he saw the reeks completely covered with drills. These pestiferous fish here through the thickest shells and destroy the spawn or embryo oyster with their bills. There are also many “five fingers” playing sad havoc with the set—Palladium.

Was it a Sea Serpent 1' Some tWenty—five members of the Aque- nuckaquewauk Piscatorial club, of Danbury, are campin out at Fancher’s, near Black Rock. Har ly a day passes but some of the members catch a big mess of fish, as they are provided with all kinds of fishing tackle to tempt the finny residents of the deep. Tues- day, W. B. Sharp, president of the associa— tion, caught a queer specimen of the shark species. He was tickled to death, and on arriving at camp it was pronounced by all a veritable sea serpent. Great enthusiasm was the result over the capture by the members. They intended as soon as they arrived at home to have the funny looking fish cured and stuffed and sent to the Smithsonian In- stitute. Yesterday Frank Taylor and a couple of friends drove that way on account of an invitation extended to them by the pres- ident. As Frank is a well-known sportsman, the specimen was shown to him, and he pro- nounced it to be a large dog fish. Notwith- standing Frank took an oath that Such was the case he was not believed. The club are having a fine time. So far they have caught 235 blue fish 60 blackfish and about 20 sea. bass. They ship by express every other day quite a number to their friends. About ten more members came up from Danbury last evening, and before they leave next week they expect to have a grand old time.— Bridgeport News. The Only Way to Become a. Capitalist. Somebody must save money, and the people who save it will be the capitalists, and they will control the organization of the industry and receive the larger share of the profits. If the workingmen will save their money, they may not only be sharers of profits, but owners of stock and receivers of dividends. And the workingmen can save their money if they will. It is the only way in which they can permanently and surely improve their condition. Legisla- tive reforms, improved industrial methods, may make the way easier for them, but there is no road to comfort and independ- ence after all but the plain old path of steady work and sober saving. Ifthe work- ing people of this country would save, for the next five years the money they spend on beer and tobacco and base base ball, they could control a. pretty large share of the capital employed in the industries by which they get their living, and they could turn the dividends of this capital from the pock- ets of the money lenders into their own. There is no other way of checking the con. gestion of wealth and of promotin its diffu- sion so expeditious, so certain an so bene- ficient as this. I wish the working people would try it,— Washington Gladden in the Forum. If you are nervous or dyspeptic try Car- ter’s Little Nerve Pills. Dyspepsia makes you nervous, and nervousness makes you dyspeptic; either one makes you miser- able, and these little pills cure both. Ex-Congressman “Bob” Vance has at last. come to the conclusion that he will settle down to newspaper life right at home in Hartford county. To this end Editor Blanch- ard of the New Britain Herald has disposed of enough of his share of that paper to give the ex-congressman a controlling interest, and will give wa to Vance October 1, rec turning to New ork, where he came from, probably going upon the Tribune where he formerly worked. Mr. Vance broke into the harness a little the past week by occupying the reporters’ stand at Charter Oak park for his paper. He is bred to the newspaper busi- ness and it will be a comparatively easy task for him to take the Herald in hand and make something positive of it. The owner- ship of the paper since Vance went to Con- gress has been equally divided between re- publican and democratic proprietors, but now it will veer in the direction of democ- racy. although it will be run on so-ealled "independent”lines.—SpringfioldRepublian. Wilson Barrett, in his speech at the ded- ication of the new theatre at Halifax, Eng- land,said: “I repeat that recreation is as ne- cessary for the mind as food is for the body, and one of the highest forms of recreation is to be found in a good theatre. I Would say to those large employers of labor who may be present, and to all who have the welfare of the city at heart, let the people have innocent amusement—nay, direct their attention to it, for if you do not give it them openly, they will seek their pleasures in dark corners. I believe it to be the duty of guardians of the public to provide or see provided, innocent recreation for the people. I urge those in authority to get the working population to seek the pure recreation afford- ed by good plays—to get them into the theatre." Advice to Mothers. Are you disturbed at night and broken of your rest by a. sick child suffering and crying with pain of outtin teeth? If so send at once and gets. bottle 0 Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Children Teething. Its value is calculable. It will relieve the poor little suf- ferer immediately.

Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled to a much higher rate of pension than they now receive. Inagreat majority of cases in which pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases where it was granted for wounds or injuries the disability increases each year. A s time passes the disability of all classes naturally increases. Many were at first rated too low, and it often occurs that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re- duced by examining surgeons. A pens1ouer is entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in his original declaration. The pension laws are more liberal than formerly, and better rating can be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you will present me with a brief statement of your case, stating by whom it was presented, I Will obtaina rehearing of your case, and, if it has merit, will procure a favorable settlement. Many claims stand rejected before the department, when it only requires a competent attorney to make them good cases. Soldiers sufiering with dusabilutles contracted in service, who have not applied for a pension, should do so as it is their RIGHT.
