A Lettes to the Editor of the Pilot.

Er*. Pilot: —ln the i issue of the Pilot of the 13th instyour correspondent from “across the deep,” makes some criticisms on Coxey, his followers and Uie laboring element of this country which are quite at variance with lacts. The writer tvays Coxey’s followers “are ‘mostly tramps, with some honest men.” He. no doubt, got his iufo r mat ion from one or the other old party papevs, who call all meu opposed to what they advocate, either tramps or anarchists. If he thinks those men in the overcrowded cities could get work among the farmers, let him come here and try it himself, and he will find not one fanner in fifteen or twenty has the wherewith to pay for hired help and if they had, the cost of labor would exceed the profit. To say that-Coxey’s followers were “men who did not want to Work,” or to agree to such a statement, is a slander on the honest workmen of this country. Yes, Coxey has gained “notoriety,” and also a place in the hearts of the masses of the people. A few more such statements coming from your correspondent across the deep and he will find that he too has gained notoriety, but not for veracity.

A Combat.

“And it came to pass” on the second day u: the week, comI raonly called Monday, that the Marshall of the host of the Republican did array himself in battle garb and sally forth to meet in deadly conflict, (his Ma- • jesty) Lord Williams, the Ist, and those two did enter into | controversy resulting in the disjeomflture of his holiness and ' transmogrifying the epidermical ' system of his proboscis. Vomit from a sour stomach proves a wonderful power in these times of dire distress and social difficulties. It has become apparent to the eye of the casual observer that the Republican of today is attempting to anihilate the money power, and cause freedom of claret that shakes the -whole foundation of thei business center of the world (Rensselaer). “Verily we know not what a day may bring forth.” And all this, Brethren, occurred at, the capital—the capital of the famous county of Jasper, in the state of Ituliana. But, Oh dear! Jasper was always tit the front. I. Didn’tseeit.

The Cost of Alcholic Paralysis.

It is enough t) siy* that this fell plague of is in the market: flh&t half a million men are engaged in its manufacture and sale; that it is sold at a profit of 400 per cent.; that the American people pay $1,300,000,-! 000 every year iu buying the; palsy; and that the national) government, most of t/he States, and a multitude of towns and cities look rtpett the spreading, oi this wasting paralysis among, the |>eoplo as one of the choicest sources of revenue, atrd that any attempt to stay tfte march of the disease is ‘regarded as an infringement of personal liberty.

Across our land strides the grisly specter reaching out his deadly hands for all our noble, beautiful boys, the hope of the future of America and of the world. More than against the cholera that comes on the winds from a£at\ let us quarantine against the dread paralysis that is bred in the Vat and the still, and sold over the bar within our own fair land. Let "us make the quarantine wide as the nation sustained by tJ» true hearts and strong baVAis and pure ballots ol all the good. That quarantine against alcoholic paralysis we call National Prohibiten.-From “Paralysis Foil Sale;” Demo rest’s Magazine for August.

Last June, Dick Crawford brought his twelve mouths oiu child, suffering from infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been weened at four months old and being sickly every tiling ran through it like water through a sieve. I gave it the usual treatment in such cases but without benefit. The child kept growing thinner until it weighed but little more than when born, or perhaps ten pounds. I then started to giving Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera aud Diarrhoea Remedy. Before one bottle of 25 cent size had been used, a marked improvement was seen and its continued use cured the child. Its weakness and puny constitution disappeared and its father and myself believe the child’s life was saved by this Remedy. J. T. Marlow, M. D.. Tamaroa, 111. For sale by F. B.

Government Ownership.

Mr. Editor: In reading your paper, as well as other reform papers, a question has been brought to my mind, and after giving it considerable thought and study, I cannot but help believe that it is right and I herewith hand you my views on the subject. The subject that I refer to is the government ownerof railroads and telegraph lines in this country. You can go into any of the departments of our government and such a thing as a strike ; s never heard of among the employes, why even take it among the soldiers of Our regular army. They duly receive the small sum of sl3 per month for their labor. D’d you ever hear of such a thing as a strike among them? No. Did you ever hear of a Strike ih the post office department 1 ? No. Let us look into the government pi 7“ ing office. Did yoq gyer near °f otrike there? No. It would be the same condition of affak too, if the government owned the railroads &hd telegraph lines. A great cry goes up by those opposed Vo this* that Would create a hungry horde or greedy office seekers, wanting the places that are necessary to conduct the business ip. a successful manner. It would 'hot take a single man more to conduct the business than is already employed. In the first place it would only create a new cabinet office, with a salary of no more than SB,OOO, which is on an equality with the other cabinet offices; There arc numerous presidents of railroad corporations, today-, that are drawing as large a salary as the President of these United. States, While some are oveti drawing more than that. When it comes down to the employes necessary in the conducting of the business of the rdilbdadt; you will find that there are today numerous applicants for the various positions that are to be filled. This is necessary. Take for instance our local post-office. When that place was to be declared vacant by the. incoming of a new president, how many applications were the for the place? Less mail.nail a dozen. This simply shows that there is no argument about the overflow of office-seek-ers.

Another great thing in connection with this, is that it would soon bring about a reduction in the prices for shipments in freight as well sis a reduction in fare in passeiiger traffic. It has done it in the post office department and it stands to reason tliat it could be done in that as well. You can send a postal card from Boston to San Francisco for one cent. If you wanted to send a message of ten words over the telegraph lines from Boston to San Francisco, what would be the cost? The question will answer itself. You will say, how can the government buy up these corporations? That is a very simple question. In the dark days of ’6l to ’65, our government saw that it would require a vast amount of finance in order to conduct the business of the nation successfully. Our soldiers must be paid, they must be clothed and fed. How was this all brought about? Very simple, indeed. The government issued redeemable bonds and currency in sufficient quantities to meet all their wants. Could not this be done in purchasing the raill’oads and telegraph lines in this country? We will let you answer the question. A Reader.

For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of Bay City, Mich., accidentally spilled scalding water over her little boy. She promptly applied De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, giving instant relief.
