Lessons of Labor Day.
Although. the army of the unem-
ployed is distressingly large, the toil-
ing masses who yesterday celebrated
Labor Day have, despite present con-
. ditions, much reason for hope and faith
in the certainty of returning prosperity
to this great and powerful nation.
There is a hopeful significance in this
very holiday. Labor Day is the token
Of a wider recognition of the identity
of interest which exists between the
workman and his employer. It is a
day dedicated by law to the cause of
the toiler, whose rights and privileges
are year by year attaining to a higher
respect and a broader dignity in the
affairs of the world. ~
The progress made by the cause of
American labor in recent years is a
most significant and encouraging sign
of the times. This is. conspicuously
shown in the legislation designed to
remedy the grievances, protect the
rights and advance the condition of
wage earners. Every year laws have
been passed for that purpose. Labor
Day itself signalizes the State’s recog-
nition of the dignity of labor and the
advance of the cause in popular senti-
ment and sympathy. .
It should never be forgotten that
these are the achievements of law abid-
ing demand. -
During the last few months the whole
American people have had a painful
experience. We have felt both poor
and depressed. The agonies which
business men have endured would
moisten the eyes of angels with pity.
Scores of brave souls with families de- .
pendent on them have fought with the
courage of a forlorn hope. Daughters
hurled from the drawing room to pov-
erty, sons taken from college 'and high
prospects, are not matters to be looked
upon With indifference. Twenty years
of successful business, toppling on the
edge of the chasm! The careful sav-
ings of a lifetime blown away like a
mist in a whirlwind. And the same is
true of the wage earners. They want
bread, but there can be no bread with.
out work. A mill shut down is like an
avalanche that buries them. There
may be money enough somewhere, but
money hid away is money lost. When
the rich hold on to their cash the poor
must sufl'er.
Despite all this, our country is yet
rich and powerful, and no deserving
law abiding son or daughter of toil
need suffer for food. There are many
hopeful omens of brighter days to come
already gilding the business horizon.
Take courage all. '
The Outlook.
Those who carefully read the daily
papers, and have noted the published
views of leading business men of the
country as to the general outlook, can,
hardly fail to be convinced that the
recent monetary panic was, after all,
more imaginary than real, and that
the prospects are assuredly and greatly
brighter. A majority of the leading
‘houses report their trade for the month
just closed equal to, and in some” cases,
greater than that of last year, which is
acknowledged by all parties to have
been prosperous above the average.
It is worthy of note too, that those
who testify ’to a business equal to or
exceeding that of last year at this sea-
son, speak so hopefully of.the signs of
the future. They expect the repeal of
the Sherman silver - purchase act to
restore confidence in financial quarters.
They expect sixty-five millions of peo-
ple to be just as hungry and in as much
need of clothing as ever, and above all,
they have confidence in the indomitable,
spirit of the American people to rise
superior to any depressing conditions
which may exist, to ignore the gloomy
. predictions of the calamity - bowlers,
and by displaying confidence them-
selves, restore confidence everywhere,
and again set the wheels of industry
moving as merrily as though no panic
had ever been dreamed of.
The people are getting to be as hopeful
and courageous as ever, and there are
more mouths to be fed and more backs
to be clothed thanat any former period.
There is money enough to set all the
wheels‘of industry in motion, and to
crowd every avenue of transportation
With the goods that will be needed, all
premium on currency is at an end,
and, what is better, there exists a moral
certainty that through the speedy ,ac-
tion of Congress every dollar of the
country’s money will be worth a hun-
dred cents. _ , '
‘ Our crops Will be enormous, and that
means a big trade at home and abroad.
The money wanted to move these tre-
mendous crops is now in hand and
readily available, and all that is want-
ed to move money and business, is
nerVe and a restored confidence. ‘The
calamity-bowlers, those pestilent-ene-
mice of the country’s peace and pros-
perity, like the New York World and
Mail and Express. have been foiled in
their predicted financial Crash, in a
political smash-up, in a cholera scare.
' . in their pet scheme to kill off the Presi-
dent, and will surely come to grief in.
their seeming efforts to incite a hunger
p panic and bread riots.
The business pendulum must swing.
Activity always follows apathy. And
those who move first get at the head of
the procession. .
"Stop croaking and go ahead. Now
is the time to start the fall trade. Read
‘the GAZETTE, and especially note the
storekeepers’. announcements every day
i and the country will be safe.

SOME SAID THATLITCOULD NOT_
BE DONE.,
Ali Waited with Dean Interest and
Breathless -' Anxiety.
Proved a Mighty and Invincible
Conquerer at Last.
A rumor had gained circulation that
the well-known Edward T. Peron, Esq..
of 507 East 81 St., New York City, was
utterly broken down in health, had be-
come unable to attend to his duties and
was really in a condition beyond cure.
Over twenty doctors had examined
and treated. his case, and all were
forced to givelup and acknowledge that
his case was beyond their-skill.
Then the remark was made-that here
was a test case for the great and popu-
lar medicine, Dr. Greene’s Nervura
blood and nerve rem'edy. It is of
course a widely, known fact that this
wonderful remedy rarely if ever fails
to cure, but could even its mavellous
curative powers restore health in this
m’ost serious case?
The Nervura was used and every-
body watched. its effects with deep in-
terest and almost breathlessanxiety:
We will give Mr. Feron’s own version
of the afl'air. -
“For five years,” he said, “I have
been running down, gradually losing
my health and strength; at last I got
very bad and was troubled with pains
in my back and around my heart.

“ I could not sleep at night. I grew
so weak that I was obliged to stop
work.
" I had tried more than twenty doc-
tors, but they could do me no good, so
I gave it up as a bad job. -
“ Then the great medicine, Doctor
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, was suggested to me, and . I
took abottle of it. '
“ It made me feel so good that I tried
onemore, and now, after having taken
four bottles I am well and strong again,
'I can sleep soundly every night and
can work every day.
.“I feel so strong that I can do any
hard work without feeling any weari-
ness or pain in'my back or side.
“ I am at- a loss to find words to ex-
press my thankfulness and gratitude
for this wonderful discovery, Doctor
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. I have told my many friends
about its wonderful curative powers,
and I would not be without it if it cost
ten dollars a bottle. I advise people to
use it if they want to be cured."
You can get it at any drug store for
$1. It is purely vegetable and harm-
less, and it surely cures. It should be
used by all who. are ailing, who are
weak, tired, nervous, sleepless and run
down. it is the'best medicine possible
to take. It was discovered by Doctor
Greene, of 35 W. 14th Street, _New
.York, the most successful specialist in
curing chronic and nervous diseases,
who can be consulted free.’personally
or by letter. .

GRANT’S PERSONAL FRIEND.
Mr. Fish Had Served as Congressman, Gov-
ernor, United States Senator, and Secre-
‘ tary of State During Both of Grant’s
Terms—Sketch of 1113 Career.
NEW YORK, Sept. 8,—News of the death
of Hon. Hamilton Fish, which occurred a:
his country home, Glen Clyife, near Gar
rison, N. Y., has been received here.
'Mr. Fish died of heart failure at 5 o’clock
yesterday. His death was a severe shock
sad event he was in his usual health and
in the best of spirits. ' . '
At the time of his death there were with
him his two sons, Hamilton Fish, J r., and
Stuyvesant Fish of this city, and his daughA
ter, Mrs. A. J. Benjamin. Mr. Fish left
his city home at 231 East Seventeenth street
in the early part of the summer and has
spent the entire season at Glen Clyfie with
Mrs. Benjamin and had intended returning
HAMILTON FISH.
Few of the younger generation will real-
ize that Hamilton Fish, who has just gone
to his final reward, was for many years a
particularly prominent political figure. He
was General Grant’s intimate friend and
his choice for the presidency in 1876.
Hamilton Fish was born in New York
city Aug. 3, 1808. He was the~son of N ichog
las Fish, a Revolutionary patriot, who was
an intimate. friend of Aaron Burr until the
latter ,killed Alexander Hamilton in their
historic duel. Baby Fish was, as nearly as
a child could be, born with a gold spoon in
his mouth. '
As a boy he was very bright and gradu-
ated from Columbia college before he was
19 years of age. In 1834 Mr. Fish was the
Whig candidate for the state assembly, but
was defeated. In 1842 he was the success
ful congressional candidate of the Whigs
for lieutenant governor in 1846, but was de-
' , rested, owing to the active efiorts made
against him by the antirenters, whose prin-“
ciples he had vigorously assailed. The head
of the Whig ticket was elected, however.
When Mr. Fish’s successful Demdcratic
competitor, Addison Gardiner, resigned his
oflice during the following year to accept a
seat on the court of appeals bench, Mr. Fish
was chosen to succeed him, and in 1848 he
was further honored by being elected gov-
ernor by a majority of more than 30,000
over John A. Dix and Reuben H. Wal-
worth. At the expiration of his guberna-
torial term Mr. Fish was elected to the
United States senate to succeed Daniel S.
Dickinson. In the senate he acted with
the Republican party and opposed the Mis-
souri compromise.
ended, Mr. Fish made a tour of Europe
with his family, remaining abroad until
1860. . He returned in time to take a. prom-
inent part in the presidential campaign
which resulted in the nomination and elec-
tion of Abraham Lincoln. In 1862 Mr.
Fish and BishOp Ames were appointed by
Secretary of War Stanton a commission
to visit Union soldiers, relieve their suffer-
ings and provide for their necessities.
While they did not succeed in their imme-
diate purpose, they arranged for an equal
exchange of prisoners, which practically
prevailed in the details agreed upon by
them up to the close of the war.
Mr. Fish was an enthusiastic admirer of
General Grant, whose nomination for the
presidency he advocated warmly in 1868.
the expiration of Grant’s) secbnd term in
1877. An effort. Was made to nominate Mr.
Fish for the presidency in 1876, President
Grant being an earnest supportpr of the
movement. '
It is upon his work as secretary of state
that Mr, Fish’s reputation principally rests.
He t00k' great interest in the foreign con-
sulates and advocated the appointment
only of men who possessed sufficient knowl-
assigned to make them valuable represent
, atives of the United States. To this end he
introdu'ced a system of examinations for,
applicants. He was one of the United
tates commissioners to negotiate the treaty
of Washington, which was signed May 8,
1871. Mr. Fish brought about a settlement
of the northwestern boundary dispute, by
which this government was given the island
of San Juan. He also figured prominently
in the Settlement of the Alabama and Vir-
ginius questions. 6
At the end of his second term as secretary
of state Mr. Fish retired from public life
Ind never expressed a wish to re-enter it,
although his name was several times men-
tioned in connection with important oflices.
For many years he was president of the
New York Historical society and was pres-
. ident general of the Society of the Cincin-
‘ nati continuously from 1854 up to the time
of ‘ his death, his only predecessors in this
highly honorable ofiice having been George
' Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney, Thomas Pinckney,
Aaron Ogden, Morgan Lewis, William Pep-
ham and A. Scammell Dearborn.
Mr. Fish was ~ 9. man of fine physique.
His wife died in 1887, leaving fivevchildren,
one of whom, Hamilton Fish, J r., has been
prominent in New York state politics for
several years. Mr. Fish was several times
a millionaire and is said to have spent $200,-
000 a year. .r
