A GOOD TIME TO 1VK(S IX. If the Council expects to do something toward system of sewerage this year there is no better time to begin than now. From the way a number of the Councilmen talk it is probable that a start will be made this season. They need not wait until after the election. Xo man is going- to endanger his chances of re election by advocating1 sewerage. Rather he will enhance them because the people want sewerage. The most popular move a councilman could make would bo to introduce a sewerage resolution next Monday night. The preliminary steps should be taken now so that the survey can begin with the first open weather and be followed up with the digging of trenches as soon as the ground is in proper condition. We have a large number of idle men in town and a large number of women and children dependent on them. These men should be given work as soon as possible. Tax payers would rather pay them for work than to support them in idleness as they are now compelled to do. A. F. Ramsey, probably the heaviest tax payer in the city, is credited with the remark that he would rather be taxed five dollars for public improvements than to payone dollar in charity for able bodied men. Mr. Ramsey probably but echoes the sentiment of nine-tenths of our property owners. There is every argument in favor of beginning our system of sewerage without delay.

PRESIIJEXT DOTjE'S HK1M.Y. President Dole's reply to Minister Willis' demand for specifications of the conduct of the-Minister which Dole charged was intended to create a reign of terror in Hawaii appeared in the newspapers of the United States yesterday. It did not come through Congress from President Cleveland, but came from Honolulu by steamer and transmitted from San Francisco by wire. It is a most caustic and scathing reply, but at the same time adheres to diplomatic courtesy. Instead of giving.seven specifications as demanded by Willis he gives twenty-eight, and in such away that the Minister has a better understanding of the meaning of the word "attitude" than he had ever dreamed of in his diplomatic philosophy. From the nature of the reply it can readily be seen why President Cleveland has withheld from Congress this letter. He has dreaded further reprobation of his infamous plot. The Senate has called for it by resolution. He must deliver up. But whether he does or does not the American people have placed him in the pillory.

oun LIBEL LAWS.

The Democratic Editorial Association the other day took action looking to a reform in our libel laws. The step was taken none too soon, and the Republican Association when it meets should supplement the work by similar action. Last year the Pennsylvania Legislature enacted a libel law which makes it a criminal offense wilfully to furnish false news to a newspaper. Georgia has just passed a measure which brings the libel laws of that State into conformity with the principles of enlightenment and justice. No respectable newspaper deliberately publishes falsehoods or attempts maliciously to injure character, and when attention is called to a misstatement in such a newspaper the error is willingly and thoroughly corrected. As our libel laws stand at present the most ample correction affords no assurance of relief from-perse-cutiota or annoyance. Respectable newspapers do not ask for license. They simply ask for justice.

OOVKIIN'OK MCKIXLKV in his Lincoln Day speech at Columbus pointedly asks: "What is gained by reducing the revenue from tariff while increasing the expenditure on an interestbearing debt?" What sort of economy is it that reduces the tariff even if it be a tax" by 850,000,00). and at the same time adds to the other forms of taxations the burden of 550,000,000 principal and 82,500,000 increased public debt? What is gained by foregoing 850,000,000 of tariff revenue, which is 850,000,000 without interest, and borrowing 850,000.000 at 5 per cent, interest? How is it more easy for the people to pay 852,500,000 by direct taxation than to pay 850,000,000 by indirect taxation—assuming tariff duties to be indirect taxes,- though in many instances they are not taxes of any kind, or not taxes paid by Americans?"

HABIKK'B Weekly has just discovered that "the Democratic party is a failure." It took it some time to make a discovery that everybody knew.

Music.

Music jnft, ilivuiely eweet. All with lmrmony replete! Music k»v ami sweetly thnUinii, All the soul with rapture filling! Soothing tall thy strains below On the sad hearts crushed with woo.

How the spirit ftlnka to rest .'.'Neath ihy tones divinely blest, .'•Feeling dull despair no longer.

With each hmrt throb growing stronger, Gains new powers for life's hard tight, Striving still for truth And right.

Stirrim? music, rich and .strong, How it bears the soul alone! Leading upward, reaching highor, With a rapturous desire Grander heights in life to gain. Triumphs over grief and pain.

Music slow, with sadness fraught, How It stirs each tender thought! Mournful music, sadly stealing O'or the soul, brings chastened feeling, Wakens love and pity kind, Clinics and melts with grace refined. Mlesacd music! Everywhere, It is rich with hope lind prayer! boft or sad or grandly swelling Or of joyous Impulse telling Sweet its strains to mortal ear, Ever welcome, always dear.

Judge nut! Thou canst not say Ju?l where the blame to lay. From «t rings long snapiod in twain Coiuesnut the sweet refrain From streamlets frozen deep Not goon the waters leap.

A NOVEL PLAN.

How an EngUM] Inn r.-tn-iilcil fc.r 1'erionn with a Colli in the* Ilcntl. Nothing but travel, and extensrve travel at that, will give a person a full idea of the queer ways that there, are in the world. An American who was not long since journeying through the midland count ins of England relates that in a small country town he once entered an inn. rather pretentious for the place, and called for turbot, a favorite dish in those parts.

The American had had a few days of dense fog and his appearance and ma nner perhaps showed that he hiul become a little wheezy in consequence of the climate, lie was forccd to haVe frequent recourse to his pocket handkerchief.

When the turbot was brought the guest fancied, even before it reached his plate, that it was no longer fresh, and an attempt to eat it confirmed that impression. IIo called the proprietor, who at once sent a waiter for fresh turbot and removed the objectionable dish. "I begjour parding, sir," said the innkeeper, "but we got the Idee, sir, as 3Tou came in, that you had a bad cold in yer 'ead, sir." "And suppose I had? Wliat would that have to do with my being served spoiled fish?" exclaimed the American, somewhat indignantly. "Heverythink, sir. We has this rule in this 'ouse: Fish as is a leetle doubtful, like that 'ere, sir—them which has lost the savor of youth, as I may say—them we serves to parties as appears to 'ave eolds in their 'eads, sir and we finds that, bein' as such parties can't smell nothinlc, they likes the fish just as well, sir, and hoften they prefer 'em!"

He Could Sympathize.

Mr. and Mrs. Fitts, of whom the Indianapolis Journal tells a story, must be both of them philosophers, though in different ways. The other day they were out driving, and after an interval of silence Mrs. Fitts remarked: "I wonder just what a horse thinks when he is driven in this way. It must be very uncomfortable when he Is driven here and there, without any idea what it is all for or where you are going." "I think I can appreciate his feelings," said Mr. Fitts. "1 imagine he feels just about as I do when you take me out on a shopping trip."

TAKE Uncle Sam's Cough Syrup. It contains no chloroform, is safe and effective for all. Sold by Cotton fc Rife, the progressive druggists, for 25 cents a bottle. 3-25'94

THE usual treatment of catarrh is very unsatisfactory, us thousands can testify. Proper local treatment is positively necessary to success, but many, if not most, of the remedies in general use afford but temporary relief. A cure certainly cannot Be ex footed from snuifs, powders, douches and washes. Ely's Cream Halm, which is so highly recommended, is a remedy which combines the important requisites of quick action, specific curative power, with perfect safety and pleasantness to the patient.

A WOMAN'S LIFE.

SOME TIIIXG# MEN DON'T CONSIDER

Thousands of Women Suffer Dally for Years without Complaining.

(SPECIAL TO Ot LAIY READERS.]

Men cannot know the sensibilities hidden in the delicate organisms of women. Thousands suffer without knowing why, and die the death dally for want of knowledge that relief is so close at hand.

Lydia E. Pinkham will forever staud highest in the love of suffering women.

Because she discovered the cause of woman's weakness and suffering, and found the means to remove it.

Diseases of the Uterus and ovarian troubles are most universal you can see their ravages lu pale faces it is indicated by halting steps, dizziness, faintness, irritability, melancholy, extreme lassitude, nervousness, sleeplessness, and disturbances of the stomach.

You will hear your friends speak of the dreadful "backache.'' the crushing sense of bearing down."

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for twenty years has saved women from all this. Hear this woman speak:

No man ever suffered a single pang like unto woman. Women, therefore, gladly turn to a woman for sympathy, counsel, and help in their peculiar troubles.

Lydia E. Pinkham deserves the confidences showered uponherliy thousands. Her Vegetable Compound has done more forwomen than any other remedy.

The great

cause of woman's misery is in her womb. Lydia E. Pinkliam's VegctableCompound goesdirect to the source of trouble, drives out disease, and cures backache, fainting, despondency, bloating, ovarian troubles, and leucorrhoea.

Heactionary storms will be central 011 the -d and 3d. and the moon will be new 011 the 5th. This will cause a continuation of cloudiness, with rain, sleet and snow, through most of the intervening time from the 7th to 11th.

The reactionary disturbances, due on the :.'d and 3d, will not likely be reached until about the 5th. A sweeping cold wave will separate these perturbations from the disturbances of the period beginning about the 7th, but it will soon give place to storm conditions, and during the 7th to 11th. storms of rain and snow will visit all parts of the coun
