. Mrs. Mary
of Lewisburg, Pa., suffered untold agony from
broken varicose veins, with intense itch-
ing and burning. .On the recommendation of a.
physician she took
' Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and used Hood’s Olive Ointment. Soon the
ulcers began to heal, the inflammation ceased,
she was completely cured, and says, “ I enjoy
health as I have not for many cars.”
"We are personally acquainted with Mrs.
.Asten and know the above to be true.” J. S.

Mr. Elaine’s Health.
It is gratifying to the friends of Mr.
Blaine, and friends he has by the thou-
sand in all parts of the country and in
all parties, to learn that since his retire-
ment from the cares and vexations of
public life he has steadily gained in
health and strength and reached a con-
dition where he can take solid comfort
and contentment.
It is not probable that he felt equal
to the task of taking the stump and en~
tering into active political service dur-
ing the canvass which has just closed
in Maine, but the letter upon the issues
of the day,which he recently made pub-
lic, gives abundant evidence of his old-
time intellectual vigor and of the clear-
ness and force of his perceptions.
The Strikes that Pay.
The business aspect of the pugilistic
contest in New Orleans last week is
worthy of special notice. It i sdou bt-
in] if so large a sum of money was ever
before paid by an audience for a few '
minutes’ entertainment. The receipts
of the athletic club for the three fights
foot up nearly $125,000, and it is said
that their profits will reach $70,000. As
a matter of successful business enter-
prise this venture goes high on the rec-
ord. The winner in the chief contest
receives a modest fortune for about one
and a half hours’ work. No wonder
that other athletic clubs are offering
tempting purses for future contests or
that aSpiring young of brawn are
eager to make literal trikes for fame
and fortune.
Ballot Schools Needed.
There is only one feature of the state
election in Vermont that is calculated
to excite interest outside of the state.
The vote was light and the percentage
of Republican loss was greater than
that of the Democrats. But it seems
that the new ballot system was respon-
sible for a large part of the loss of
votes in the small towns. The new sys-
tem has been in operation for two years
in the larger towns, and the loss there-
in was comparatively light: but it is
estimated that the vote of the state has
been reduced fully five thousand by
reason of irregular ballots. This shows
the vital importance of schooling voters
in other states wherein the new ballot
system is operative. A relative loss in
New York State, equivalent to that in
Vermont, would aggregate nearly a
hundred thousand votes.
Free Iron Ore.
There is a feeling among iron vmanu-
facturers, especially on the seaboard,
that they ought to be permitted to buy
their raw material from abroad free of
duty. This is because they can get it
cheaper than the native ore.
But why is it cheaper? Because, in
the first place, it is frequently brought
into the United States as ballast, espe-
cially from Spanish ports, so that the
transportation charges are very low ;
and, in the second place, the laborers
who dig it out of the earth are paid on-
ly about one-half as much as American
miners receive. ‘
So that it brings it back to the same
old point—we economize on cost at the
expense of the workingman. The man-
ufacturer saves money at the expense
of the laborer. Give him Spanish ore
free of duty, and at once American cit-
izens who are working in iron mines
are brought into competition with the
poor devils in Spain, who receive, per-
haps. fifty cents a day, where ,our miner
is paid a dollar.
If our domestic mines are expected
to compete with those of Spain, our
miners must consent to have their
wages cut down. The profit of the man
who owns the mine is a trifle per ton,
and the value of the ore as it lies in the
earth cannot well be reduced. Indeed,
there is not much to reduce, take it all
in all, and still wages would have to
be cut ”to enable us to compete with
Spain. 'We want no Free Trade in iron
ore. .
Quiet of the Canvase.’ '
' Election day is less than two full
months ahead, but there is no special
activity on the part of the political
. managers of either party, except 'at
their New York National Headquarters.
From thence "campaign 'literature‘ii’s
carted to the mail every day by the ton
and thefar' distant'm’nqump. doubt-
fuI' voter'and . grunger gets: his ,oold
printed pabulum in, ' the most jiiberal
doses. But the wild hurrahand‘hnb-
I
ibreaking her shoulder.
bub of other-days at this stage of the
canvass are missing now. "The political
thermometer used to indicate blood
heat in the early days of September in
scarcely above the freezing point now.
Several causes contribute to the seem-
ing lassitude of the political giants that
are to wrestle to a finish eight weeks
from Tuesday. In the first place, the
process of evolution is going on in poli-
ties as in everything else. The folly
and the anger incident to campaigns or
the olden times are partially abated
now. Intelligence begins to take the
place of vituperation. .
The chief cause of the absence of
popular enthusiasm, up to this time,
may probably be found in the fact that
the Presidential race this year is a
repetition of the last one. Cleveland
and Harrison are familiar names. Any
novice in politics can tell how three-
fourths of the states will vote—what
states are sure to go for Cleveland, and
what other ones for Harrison. Interest
centers in what are called “doubtful”
states. Three-fourths of the states are
practically spectators, patiently wait-
ing for the curtain to rise in the doubt
ful ones.
Let nobody imagine, however, that
the campaign may not yet be lively,
because it lags at this stage. It will in
all‘ probability, be sharp and short.
Both of the great parties mean to mus-
ter every possible vote at the polls, and,
before we are two months older, 'we
‘shall all doubtless, hear enough rattle
and bang to satisfy the most clamorous
partisan. And may the best cause win.

Miss Harriett A. Rogers, who lives
with her brother Theodore Rogers, on
the Strawberry Hill road, met with an
accident Tuesday that will be apt
to keep her confined to her bed for
some time. She was descending a
flight of cellar stairs at her home, and
when near the bottem slipped and fell,
striking heavily on‘ the cellar floor,
Dr. Baldwin

ture, and Miss Rogers is getting along
as well as could be expected consider-
ing the seriousness of the injury.

Bunker Steamers Captured.
The game and fish inspectors have
been making avigorous crusade against
bunker fishermen who have been vio-
lating the law by fishing with seine nets
in the sound. Inspectors Robert Brown,
J r., John E. Lisk and Constable Owen
Williams have been cruising about the
sound in the launch Diana for several
days trying to catch the law-breakers,
and have at last succeeded in overhaul-
ing four bunker steambrs and in arrest-
ing their captains and crews. The ves-
sels captured'were the Annie Wilcox,
Capt. \Vllcox, crew of 17 ; Peconic,
Capt. Ketching, crew of 17: Cushner.
Capt. Ellis, crew of 16, and the Albert
Brown, crew of 18. The vessels were
captured off Mamaroneck and ' were
brought to New Rochelle, where they
were arraigned before a justice Satur-
day. The captain of the Annie Wilcox
was fined $300, of the Peconic $360 and
of the Albert Brown 3316. They all
paid and were released. Capt. Willis
pleaded not guilty and demanded a
trial. He was accordingly ‘placed un-
der bonds to appear for trial next Fri-
day. The crew was released.
VVV
His Foot Crushed‘by a Train.
0
There was another railroad accident
at South Norwalk, Saturday evening,
in which Patrick McNamara was the
victim. Mr. McNamara started up the
Housatonic tracks for the purpose of
going to Carew’s shoe shop on Mar-
shall street. When on the tracks near
the residence of George Smith, two 1a-
dies seeing his danger warned h1m_‘of
the approach of the train. At this pomt
there is a sloping embankment, and
Mr. McNamara climbed up on the same
to allow the train to pass. He dld not
climb far enough, however, to be out of
danger, and began to slip down toward
the tracks. In an attempt to savehlm-
self from slipping under the car-trucks
he put out his foot, and in so doing it
came directly across the rail and the
wheels of the last car passed over his
foot almost. grinding it to a pulp. Par-
ties who saw the accident ran to Mr.
McNamara’s assistance and he was re-
moved to his home on Washington
street, and medical aid summoned.
Examination showed that the bones of
the foot had been crushed and that am-
putation would be necessary. Drs.
Burke, Clarke, Baker and Tracy were
present and the foot was amputated just
above the ankle.
Mr. McNamara is a well known hat-
ter, and was for a while a letter carrier
at South Norwalk. He has many friends
who will regret to hear of the accident.
He is doing as well as could be expect-
ed, and the physician in attendance
hopes to have him out in a month or
six’weeks. Those who witnessed his dan-
ger expected to see him ground to
pieces under the'train. His escape from
more serious injury partakes of the mi-
raculous.
Burglars at Compo Beach.
William H. Couch. of Compo Beach
in Saugatuck, went ”driving Friday at-
ternoon for several hours. When he
returned at 6 o’clock he found his be-
longings scattered about the house and
several articles of value missmg'.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the house had been entered by burg-
lars during his absence. There was no
one in the house from 3 to 6 o’clock.
and the burglary had been committed
some time between those hours 1n
broad daylight. A seal ring, a plain
gold ring, some silver ware, articles In
clothing and about $20 in money were
taken, the whole amounting to a little
less than $100. Abox containing bonds
was broken open, but nothing of value
secured. All boxes which looked as
though they contained valuables were
torn open and their contents scattered
about. The search had been complete
and every room had been visited.
Entrance was made by prying up a
pantry window. The door between
- the kitchen and dining room was left
locked and was found in the same con-
dition. It is probable that the intruder
had a false key for he had to pass
‘ through this room in order to reach
the other rooms in the house.
There are neighbors on both sidesof
Mr. Coach’s house, but no one noticed-
anythingwrong during the afternoon.
A. sleek well dressed stranger was no-

hour later he. was seen sauntering back
