lath Had Eczema
In Its Worst Form
After Physicians Failed, Hood's
Sarsaparilla Perfectly Cured.
Great mental agony 'is endured by
parents who see their children suffering
from diseases caused by impure blood, and
for which there seems no cure. This is
turned to joy when Hood’s Sarsaparilla is
resorted to, for it expels the foul humors
from the blood, and restores the dis-
eased skin to fresh, healthy brightness.
Read the following from grateful parents:
" To C. 1. Hood R: Co., Lowell, Mass:
“We think Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the most
valuable medicine on the market for blood and
skin diseases. Our two children suflered terri-
bly with the '
Worst Form of Eczema
for two years. We had three physicians in
that time. but neither of them succeeded in
curing them or even in nriving them a little
relief. At last we tried Ilood’s Sarsaparilla
and in a month both children were per-
fectly cured. We recommend
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
as a standard family medicine, and would not

Where the Blame Belongs.
If the pension list is large, it should
be remembered that but for the war
against the ‘Union there would have
been no pension list worth Speaking of.
The government of the United States
did not enlist multitudes of soldiers and
expend vast amounts of treasure and
hundreds of thousands of valuable
lives in order to make a long pension
list. says the New York Press. All this
expense and bloodshed were incurred
to subdue an attempt to destroy the
nation. They were incurred—to quote
the language of Abraham Lincoln—in
order that “a government of the peo-
ple, for the people and by the people
should not perish from the earth.”
Was the price a great one to pay for
A the life of the Republic? Let those
who think so blame those who assailed,
and not those who defended and saved
the life of the Republic.
Again Bereaved.
Again with fatal and exceptional fre-
quency has death shrouded in gloom
the Nation’s Executive mansion. Rev.
Dr. Scott, the father of President Har-
rison’s recently deceased wife, died
there Tuesday afternoon. He was a
very aged and for a long time feeble
man and his demise from senile debili-
ty was not an unanticipated event, yet
the, dark shadows of so large a number
of deaths have never before fallen to
the lot of any administration, and the
President and his sorrowing household
will receive afresh a N ation’s sympathy.
The death at the White House yester-
day of Dr. Scott, futher-in-law of the
president, makes the ninth that has oc-
ourred within the family and its atten-
dants of the executive mansion since
the commencement of President Har—
rison’s administration.
Division of the Colored Vote.
It was stated by ex-Gov. Kellogg, of
Louisiana, in a recent interview, that
at least one-third. of the colored vote
had gone over to the Democrats, and
was likely to stay there.
The gradual deliverance of the col-
ored people from their long allegiance
‘to the Republican party, which is
mostly a matter of sentiment rather
than principle, is an encouraging sign,
not in the narrow sense that many of
these pe0ple have finally concluded to
.vote the'Democratic ticket, but that
with their increasing and intelligent
interest in public affairs they are nat-
urally dividing on different lines of
thought, says the Washington Post.
it until they rid themselves en-
tir of the idea that they owe a blind
obeisance to any one party will their
.emancipation be complete. Even as-
suming that they owe the destruction
of slavery and their rescue from bond-
. age mainly to the men and measures
'of the Republican party, it does not
follow that they should remain for all
. time in political bondage to that party.
Now that they have become citizens,
' it is their-privilege as well as duty to
, think for themselves like other citizens,
and vote as they think.
That they are exercising this privi-
lege and performing thisduty affords
the best possible evidence of that in-
tellectu progress and independence
of action through which alone they
will be best enabled to enjoy the bless-
ings of freedom and contribute to the
. prosperity of the State.

Hunting for the Lost Sheep.
The Rev. A. V. Bower, pastor of the
little Methodist Episcopal church at
New Canaan, who closed up his house
of worship on Sunday and, with a large
proportion of his congregation, started
out to search for one of the missing
lambs of his flock, has set an excellent
example to his clerical brethren all
W
patience of all, or nearly all, Of them,
as they ascend the pulpit and. cast their
eyes over their congregations,;.:that
many seats which should boa-filled are
empty and many familiar figures ab-
sent. Why not make an instant search
for the absent ones? That is what the
Rev. Bower did with such magnificent
results.
We commend. his example to the
metropolitan pastors—to the Rev. Dr.
Parkhurst, for instance. When his
eye lights on a vacant pew he should
call immediate attention to the fact that
Brother Black is not in his accustomed
place and advise all his congregation to
be on the watch for him during the
,. week. No one knows better than-Dr.
Parkhurst the temptations that beset
the righteous in the Tammany-mis-
governed city; and it assuredly be-
hooves him to keep a watchful eye over
the comings and the goings of the inno-
cent and unsophisticated old men and
young men over whose spiritual wel-
fare he presides.
If the practice were to become uni-
versal we have no doubt that the church
attendance everywhere would be large-
ly increased. There would be fewer
stragglers every Sunday from the
straight pathway that leads to the
church door. By all means let the lost
sheep be looked after. Especially
should this be done in wicked Bridge-
port.
Shut Them Out.
We are advised that the Senate, at
the last session, passed a bill to restrict
immigration, and that this measure is
now pending in the House.
Each day brings fresh testimony as
to the necessity for restriction of some
kind, and it is significant that the de-
mand for reform comes from the most
intelligent and patriotic of our people.
It will be no easy task to pass a law
which will be free from objection.
The question as to where the line shall
be drawn is a delicate one. There are
desirable and undesirable immigrants.
It is the truth that among the lawless
and vicious classes in Europe there is a
desire to come to America solely be-
cause of the impression that in this
country there is no law; that evil pas-
sions and criminal propensities are al-
1owed to run riot without let or hind-
rance. We are, in consequence, re-
ceiving each year an army of red-eyed,
ignorant outlaws, who come here be-
lieving that they will be given the op-
portunity to avenge the wrongs they
may have endured in the Old World,
and to “get even” for the just punish-
ment to which they have been subject-
ed for their own evil deeds.
We do not want any more of these
people brought into the United States.
Not in a Resigning Mood.
A report has been current in Boston
for some (days that the Federal officials
in that city had decided to throw up
their commissions and go out as a body
with the incoming of the new adminis-
tration. Such a hearty and unanimous
recognition of the virtues of the spoils
system is so out of the common that it
struck the general public as a phenom-
enal surprise. Even those who profess
adherence to the wholesome principle
of rotation in office, are not, as a rule,
in the habit of abdicating a soft place
until they are invited to do so.
But the Boston Post has been look-
ing into the matter and finds that the
rumor is not wholly true, many of the
officials there making personal denials
of the refreshing rumor. The princi-
pal exception noted is that of Postmas-
ter Hart, who proposes 'to send in his
resignation, Subject to the President’s
acceptance. “ I believe,” he says, in a
manly sort of way. “that Mr. Cleve-
land should be given an opportunity of
putting a man in my place in whom he
can confide and regard as his political
friend.”
Upon the other hand, United States
Marshal Doherty and his assistant,Uni-
ted States Sub-treasurer Kennard,
Pension Agent Osborn, Internal Reve-
nue Collector Orcutt, Chief Post-office
Inspector Graves, and Superintendent
of Railway Mail Service Ryan are dis-
posed to hold on until the President
signifies his desire to turn their places
over to his own appointees. Collector
Beard has nothing to say on the sub-
ject.
. As there is no sound principle of re-
form which demands the retention of
these men in office and no point to be
strained in their favor as being essen-
tial to the safety of the Government, it
will devolve upon Mr. Cleveland to
serve them with writs of ouster, which
he will doubtless do in due time, says
the Washington Post. Under the cir-
cumstances we cannot help feeling in
the interest of honest politics that res-
ignation is more creditable to the of-
fice-holder than waiting to be bounced.
The Suffering at Homestead
There was one dark and desolate blot
on the happy Thanksgiving picture. It
was around the great Homestead iron
mills. Starvation, or something akin
to it, was there in all its horrors. The
fires in the factory furnaces blazed
brightly, but the fires on many a hearth
were out. It is sad to read about little
children gathering driftwood from the'
river, lighting it inavacant lot, clus.
teriug around it to keep warm, and
roasting potatoes in the embers for
their Thanksgiving feast. Worst of all,
there is hardly a ray of hope ahead,
The unfortunate men who struck can-
over the country, says the New York . not obtain work at the. mills, and with
Recorder. It must be within the ex- I indictments hanging over them-they
. /
are_"liable to befarrested and put in jail
if they. leave the place] to seek fiwork. ,
elsewhere. ' The prison or. the poor- .
house—what a terrible alternative!
There is a handful of men, the ring-
leaders of the riot, who richly deserve
to be punished. The law must be fully
vindicated in their cases, for they were
the instigators of violence and murder.
Innocent blood is on their hands, and
the penalty for its shedding must be
sternly exacted from them. But the
great body of the strikers, whiie they
participated in the outbreak of mob.
fury, were but the poor misguided
tools of the crattier and wickcder men
who acted as their leaders.
Their situation calls for mercy—the
mercy of the law and the mercy of
capital. The one should come from
the Executive Chamber at Harrisburg,
the other from the castle in the Scot-
tish highlands. The strikers were
wrong, says the Recorder. No one
will, no one can, defend their acts of
lawlessness; but have they not been
sufficiently punished ? Is no clemency
to be shown them? Mr. Carnegie and
Mr. Fricke have won. Is there no com-
passion in their hearts ? Will nothing
satisfy them except the utter ruin of
their old employees? That terrible
black list should be burned. Put it in-
to one of the furnaces and destroy it
forever. The vile thing is un-Ameri-
can. It is the invention of European
industrial despots.
Give the men at Homestead one more
chance. No better workmen can be
found anywhere. Let Mr. Carnegie
take pity on their hapless Wives and
children. Here is the best opportunity
he ever had for the exercise of his phi-
lanthropy.
The Proposed Bond Issue.
Secretary .Foster, of the Treasury
Department, is of the opinion that in
view of the debt-paying policy of the
Government which has been successful-
ly maintained for a long series of years,
neither the Democratic party nor, any
other will feel disposed to reverse this
policy, even temporarily, by increasing
the bonded indebtedness of the Gov-
ernment. Yet Mr. Eoster admits the
popularity of United States bonds as
an investment, and pays high tribute
to the public credit when he says that
a loan could easily be floated at 2 per
cent. interest, provided the bonds were
made available as banking security and
an issue of currency authorized up to
their full face value. '
It is somewhat improbable that con-
tingencies will arise requiring the pro-
posed issue, but the Government could
do a great many worse things in case
of necessity than to borrow money for
the purpose of meeting deficiencies. As
a means of strengthening and extending
the national banking system, which
with the retirement of bonds, must
some of these days give place to some
other system, any augmentation of the
public debt would to that extent avert
the danger apprehended in some quar-
ters of the substitution of State for na-
tional banks; while to raise money in
this way would prove far less burden-
some to the people than any scheme of
direct taxation which might be pro-
posed. and far more acceptable to the
country, if the result of the late elec-
tion means anything, than to keep up
indirect taxation to an oppressive stan-
dard under the McKinley tariff act.
The possibility of an emergency that
may demand extraordinary measures of
relief adds another cogent reason to
many reasons already advanced for
assembling the new. Congress at the
earliest day practicable. Great ques-
tions are impending. How shall de-
ficienciesbe met? Shall the tarifi‘ be
revised upon the theory that by a re-
duction of duties the revenues may be
increased, or shall bonds be issued, to ,
provide what the tariff fails to yield?
The situation to be confronted will ne-
cessitate prompt and decisive action.
It will be the height of unwisdom, and
possibly akin to disaster. to postpone
till winter after next what may be
definitely adjusted the coming spring
and summer.
Interesting Figures. - _
It is a. remarkable thing that Virgin-
ia’s oyster Industry fell off nearly. 100
per cent, between 1880 and 1888, while
Connecticut. With one-eighth of the
area of Virginia, increased during that
period nearly 300 per cent.
The official report for 1891 of the Uni-
ted States, commissioner of fish and
fisheries, presents interesting statistics
of the value of the oyster industry of the
different states in the Union. These
figures show what an immense loss Vir-
ginia and Maryland have sustained dur-
ing the years named. In 1880 the sales
of oysters'in Virginia amounted to 32,-
218,376 ; North Carolina, $46,129; Ma-
ryland, $4,730,476; Connecticut, 35386,-
625, and New Jersey, $2,080,625. ’
In the year 1888—eight years later—
the same states made the following
showing : Virginia, $1,033,612 ; North
Carolina, $60,000; Maryland. $3,056,458,
Connecticut, $1,012,259 ; New Jersey;
$2,245,659.
It is believed that by proper legisla-
tion Virginia could easily derive 9. rev-'
enue of half a million dollars annually
from her oyster beds. This question
will probably enter into the campaign
of next- year. The present rental sys-
tem has not and cannot be given a fair
trial until the grounds have been made
so that the boundaries can be clearly
defined. After this work is completed
it is believed that's great deal of these
oyster grounds w111 be rented out and
the state’s revenue largely increased.
Their Charter Suspended.
Pending the action of the Grand
Lodge at its next session the Grand
Master, in view of the facts in the case,
has temporarily suspended the Chaater
l of St. John’s Lodge.
