The Way to Win the Victory.
There is not much doubt that the House
will pass a tariff bill, but there is a good |
deal of doubt whether it will bear much j
resemblance to the Morrison bill. The
Republicans, of course, will do their ut
most to defeat all tariff legislation, and
while they will hardly succeed in such an
undertaking thev may be able, with the
help of the protection Democrats, to en
tirely change the character ot the Morri
son bill. It would not be surprising if
the concession of the tariff reformers te
specting the internal revenue turned out
to be a mistake. The protection Demo
crats will not be satisfied with conces
sions, however great they may be. They
stand squarely with the Republicans in
favor of a high protective tariff, and they ;
will not consent to take anything less, j
That being the case it is questionable !
whether it was wise to try to conciliate
them. The proper policy for the Demo- j
cratic party to pursue with respect to the ,
tariff is that which it has announced timw
and again in its national platforms and in j
the halls of Congress. To continually yield j
to the demands of a small minority shows
weakness, and robs the tariff reform pol
icy of its strength. In 1876 and in 1880
tariff retorm was announced in the
national platforms, but it was not thrust
to the front as a live and leading issue. It
was kept in the background, and the
Presidential contests were fought on other
grounds. The timidity with which its
professed advocates handled it actually
damaged the party. The impression was
made that the party had no settled tariff
policy. Republicans who favored a rev
enue tariff and independent voters voted
with the Republican party because that
i party's policy was emphatically and ag
! gressively in favor of protection. They
: preferred a party that stood squarely for
i its principle to one that didH’t. The po-
I litical party that wins is the one that
I forces its principles upon the attention ol
; the country vigorously and earn
estly. In order to make converts
|it rauit convince the people that
i its principles are right. The tariff is the
j only great issue before the country. It is
| something that can be brought home to
! every voter. Convince a man that he can
! live one-tbird cheaper under a revenue
\ tariff and the chances are that he will
vote with the party that is pledged to that
sort of a tariff, it is folly to say that
there are no Republicans who would
abandon their party on the tariff issue.
! There are many thousands of them in
every state. Only yesterday. In this city.
; two prominent and wealthy Northern
j manufacturers, both Republicans, de
; dared themselves very strongly in favor
I of a very great reduction in the tariff.
They gave it as theiropinion that there was
a v- ry large portion of the Republican
party ready to join the Democrats when
the tariff issue was squarely made. One of
these gentlemen is a car manufacturer in
Pennsylvania. He said that free trade
| would give new life to his business be
| cause it would so cheapen raw ma
terials that he could find a ready
sale for his goods at a profit in
foreign markets. He declared that among
| all the small manufacturers of Pennsyl
‘ vania there was a marked sentiment in
favor of a tariff' for revenue. In his opin
-1 ion the press of Pennsylvania does not
reflect the sentiments of the people. The
truth Is the voice of the great iron and
steel manufacturers alone is heard theie.
This gentleman, to illustrate how the
small manufacturers suffer, called atten
tion to the fact that last year American
i copper could be bought four cents a pound
| cheaper in England than in Philadelphia.
The great metal manufacturers combine
to keep the price up to a point where
all the advantages of the protective tariff
are obtained and competition with Euro
pean products of the same kind is avoided.
If the present high tariff is continued
the growth of Southern manufactories
must soon in? checked. The home market
; cannot take their products, and they can
not compete in foreign markets. Mr. W.
F. Herring, a Georgian residing in New
York and largely interested in factories
in Georgia, in a letter a lew days ago to
, a gentleman who solicited him to buy
some property on the Oconee river, near
i Athens, Georgia, wrote:
If I felt sure of free trade in this coun
try within three years I would not
hesitate to buy the property referred to.
With free trade I think it would quickly
quadruple in value, because there would
lie little risk in utilizing it for cotton
mills. But 1 would not invest in new cot
ton mills, or in shoals upon which to build
now. because the development in that
line has nearly, if not quite, reached the
limit to which it is restricted by our
tariff. In other words, I think we are
making as many goods as this country
needs. Our protective system interposes
so many obstacles and hindrances to our
reaching foreign markets with our goods
that our natural advantages over other
countries are well nigh nullified. South
ern made cotton goods will no doubt
continue to displace Eastern and North
ern made goods of the same class, but I
want a larger field for a market than one
country before I make lurther invest
ments in this line, and that we cannot
have except at great disadvantage under
our present system of taxation. The same
is true of enterprises now in operation.
If we had tree trade with the world I
would rate the stock which I own in cot
ton mills at least 50 per cent, higher than
I rate it now.
The evidence is accumulating all the
time that there is a strong sentiment all
over the country in favor of reducing the
tariff. If the Democratic party will
preach a tarifl-for-revenue policy earnest
ly. sincerely and aggressively it can win
the control of the government at the next
national election, aud hold it for the next
quarter of a century, and perhaps longer.
It will accomplish nothing, however, by
being only half in earnest, and by making
concessions to the protectionists.
The Tobacco Trade Excited.
The proposition to repeal the intern!!
revenue tax on cigars, snuff’ and tobacco
causes considerable excitement among
tobacco manufacturers and dealers.
There is, perhaps, not so much excite
ment among the trade as there was when
the tariff bill was under consideration
last Congress, because it is certain
that if the tax is repealed the tax already
paid will be returned. The uncertainty
on this point at that t<me brought the to
bacco business almost to a standstill.
There was stagnation in all its branches.
The trade will of course, be disturbed to a
greater or less extent until it is finally de
termined whether or not the tax is to be
removed, but it is not anticipated that
factories will be closed and workmen
thrown out of employment. The manufac
turers of cigars and smoking tobacco woflld
much rather have the tax remain. It
protects them from an annoying competi
tion and gives them a chance to do a more
profitable business. Only men of consid
erable meanscanengagein manufacturing
tobacco now because of the bonds required
and the capital needed for stamps and
license. If the tax is removed hundreds of
men will rush into the business, and for a
while the market will be crowded with
cheap goods. The brands that now have
a hold on the public, however, will prob
ably retain it to a great extent. The
manufacturers of plug tobacco will not
be affected to any great extent by the
repeal of the tax. That branch of the
tobacco business requires large capital.
What all branches of the trade want,
however, is cessation of agitation. They
know they will never have that until the
tax is repealed. Asa rule, therefore,
they favoi the repeal, and they want the
act to take effeet as soon as passed.
There is some slight prospect of the dis
organization of the New York* Produce
Exchange. Quite a number of members
contemplate seceding from the exchange
and opening an open board for the trans
action of all business in that line. If this
move becomes formidable of course it will
jeopardize the very existence of the ex
change, but as that corporation is just
fixing to move into new and grander
quarters, it is not to be presumed that it
will give tip without a hard and prolonged
struggle.
No one was surprised at the recent an
nouncement to the Bonapartists in Paris
that “Prince Napoleon relies on the voice
of the people and will not sanction a re
sort to violent measures.” The Napoleons
have never failed to obtain the sanction
of the people at the polls when their ad
herents had the counting of the votes. A
Napoleonic returning board was worse
than even an American 8 to 7 electoral
commission.

FLOWER SIGHS ANI) SMILES.
He Look* Bashful When Asked it He
Would be a Candidate.
When a reporter walked into the hallway
ot No. 50 Broadway, says the New York
World, he saw a modest sign which read,
“R. P. Flower & Cos.” A swinging door
way opened into a corridor, to the right of
which were ranged a number of parti
tioned offices. In the rear and facing
Exchange court was a large room. Seated
on chairs and sofas were a number of
well-dressed and apparently well-fed gen
tlemen. They did not look like politicians
and their brows were not of the statesman
ship build. They, however, looked happy
and serene. A stranger might suppose
that a board of directors were about to
meet. Such was not the case. It was
merely a gathering of personal and busi
ness friends of Mr. Flower.
Every one who knows Mr. Flower
speaks of him as a man of much magne
tism. He is polite as well as agreeable.
There is no gilt-edge card business about
him. and he is not fond of blowing his
own “bazoo.” The reporter did not see
Mr. Flower among his coterie of friends
when he first glanced them over. Pres
ently. however, Mr. Flower’s form and
jolly broad face loomed up. He emerged
from one of the inner offices and ran
right against the news gatherer.
“Mr. Flower, I believe?”
Mr. Flower nodded his head, his lips
parted and he ejaculated:
"Interview, eh!”
Leaning against a partition he re
marked in a pleasant way that he did not
wish to be interviewed' on any public
question just yet.
“Your name is frequently printed as a
possible nominee of the Democratic party
for President,” observed the reporter.
Mr. Flower's eyes twinkled. He smiled
a smile and merely answered soft and
low:
“Yes?”
And then lower still:
“Y-e-s?”
“You would accept the nomination
would you not?”
The word nomination must have been
heard by Mr. Flower’s friends, for they all
turned found and stopped talking. Mr.
Flower again laughed softly and said
that he did not wish to be interviewed.
HANDSOMELY DONE.
The Romantic Story of a Poor Girl who
Became a Millionaire’* Wife.
Both the Packer boys, Robert and
Harry, says the Pittsburg (Pa.) Post,
were treated like equals by their father
and mother. In the little village where
this good old man lived there was a sum
mer hotel, which was patronized consid
erably during the season, young Harry
Packer often taking his meals there. A
young girl named Lockwood, the (laughter
of a respectable citizen living near the
village, came in to assist waiting on the
table. The frequency of Harry Pack
er’s meals at the hotel attracted
some attention, and his brother
Robert. or “Bob,” as he was
familiarly and affectionately called by al
most all who ever knew him, said one day
before the father and Harry at the break
fast table that Harry was sweet on a little
girl down at the hotel, and that was the
reason he did not come to his meals regu
larly. Harry colored up a little, and after
they had finished their breakfast the old
Judge, seating himself on the front porch,
which overlooks Mauch Cnunk and gives
such a magnificent view of the Lehigh
Valley, the moving boats and trains,
which his own industry had created ana
brought together, said: “Harry, who is
this girl Robert refers to?”
“Miss Lockwood, father: the daughter
of a man you know very well.”
‘.‘Are you going to marry her, Harry?”
said the Judge.
“I have some notion of it, father,” said
Harry.
“Well, wait till I godown and see her,”
said the Judge, and picking up his old
white hat and cane, the Judge quietly
ambled down to the hotel and asked for
Miss Lockwood. She innocently came in
the office of the hotel with her dining
room apron on. and seated herself beside
the Judge. Just what he said to her, or
she to him, will never be exactly known
unless she tells it, but when the Judge
came out he was smiling and appeared
mighty well pleased. He went home and
found’Harry still sitting on the porch
where he had lett him. By this time the
Judge’s face had resumed its usual grave
but kind expression. “Well, Harry,” he
said, “that is a very nice girl down there,
but she has no money. We must raise
her some.”
The old Judge put down his memoranda
for $50,000, the mother and the others for
$25,000 each, and this $150,000 was placed
in the bank to the exclusive and imme
diate credit of Miss Lockwood. The en
gagement was announced, the wedding
day fixed, the marriage took place, arid
Harry Packer got the girl he liked,
MANAGING AN ELEPHANT.
Tiger Hunting in India.
The native man, from want of thought,
keeps up a constant drumming on the
beast’s head with the goad, or “ankus;”
I therefore hoped not to use it at ail. Such
an improvement all at once, however,
proved more than even the elephantine
mind could grasp. He began really to en
joy himself, going his own way more
than mine, till at last he marched straight
into an immense forest tree of the banyan
species, and commenced to browse. He
seized the boughs above his head, and,
tugging violently at them, brought them
down on my devoted skull. This was too
much. I raised the ankus, and brought
it down on his head with a blow that
brought blood through the skin. This had
the desired effect, and he at once bundled
off by the road he knew I wanted him to
go. He merely took with him a branch
about the size'of a small apple tree to dis
cuss as he went along. P’rom this mo
ment we were friends, and 1 do not think
I ever had to use the hook again so as to
bring blood; generally it was sufficient to
tap him with my finders to get him to do
what I wanted. ’
In 1834 Mr. John C. Stevens advertised
in the New York Courier and Enquirer
for a man “white, black, red or any inter,
mediate color, who will undertake to
travel on foot ten miles in one hour.”
To the man who should accomplish the
feat an offer of SI,OOO was made. Henry
Stanard, of Connecticut, competed for the
prize, and he won with twelve seconds to
spare. In April, 1803, L. Bennett ran
II miles 970 yards in one hour, and Raby
has walked ten miles in 1 hour 14 minutes
45 seconds. What Mr. Stevens thought
was a great task fifty years ago has been
accomplished, and it no louger excites re
mark.
SOLE SURVIVOR.
In a Leaky Boat In the Gulf Stream for
Over Two Day*.
Among the passengers on board the Pa
cific Mall steamer Acapulco, which ar
rived in New York on the 25th, says the
New York Herald , was James Pratt, a
fair haired, brown bearded seaman. He
had taken passage at Aspinwall, and was
bound for his native place, Gardiner. Me.
Before he had been many hours on board
it became known that he was the sole sur
vivor of a brig’s crew which was wrecked
in the Gulf stream on February 23, and
that he had met with several surprising
adventures before he was rescued. The brig
was the A. G. Jewett, of Belfast. Me. Two
men—the Captain and the cook—went to
the bottom with her The others succeed
ed in reaching a boat that had floated off
from the wreck. It was difficult to keep
the boat afloat, as it had been stove in and
was filled with water, but luckily a spar
to which it had been lashed on deck still
remained attached and rendered good ser
vice. There were no sails, oars or provis
ions on board. Neither was there a drop
ot fresh water. The weather was intense
ly cold, and there was a heavy sea on all
sides. Owing to the rotten condition of
the boat the men had to stand up and hold
on to the gunwales, and were thus ex
posed to all the rigor ot the storm.
Their sufferings were terrible. The
mate and two seamen soon became ex
hausted and died during the afternoon of
the 23d. The three survivors threw their
dead bodies overboard in order to lighten
the boat and then returned to their posts.
On the following day two more died, leav
ing James Pratt, the second mate, the
sole survivor of the crew. As the after
noon and evening of the 24th passed away
and still no vessel was sighted, he began
to lose ali hope; but just as he felt that
consciousness was leaving him he saw
the white sails of a bark coming directly
toward him. He was too weak to make
any signal, but he was seen by those on
the vessel and speedily rescued. A rope
was made fast to him and he was hauled
on board the barkentine Edward Cushing,
Capt. Bickmore, of Camden, Me., bound
for Aspinwall.
Pratt was utterly exhausted with cold,
hunger and thirst.’and at first it appeared
unlikely that he could live. Thanks,
however, to the kind treatment of his res
cuers he was soon out of all danger. On
arriving at Aspinwall he reported himself
to the United States Consul, who secured
a passage for him as a destitute seaman
on the steamer Acapulco, which left As
pinwall on the ltitb. Pratt was wrecked
only three months before on the schooner
J. Goodwin, off the Bahamas.
VANDERBILT THEATHK’AUS.
Two Carriage Loads of Actors Whisked
Up from Tony Pastor's.
Two handsome closed carriages, drawn
by blooded teams, whose costly harness
i bore the Vanderbilt crest, rolled up to
the entrance of Tony Pastor’s Theatre on
Wednesday night,says the New York Sun
of the 27th, and two liveried footmen,
with the Vanderbilt cockade in their
shining beavers, flung open the crested
doors and bowed as sve young men
and three young women hurried
down the theatre steps and sprang
lightly into the x-ehicles. Two liveried
1 drivers snapped their expensive whips,
and the carriage dashed up Fifth avenue
to Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt’s mansion
; at F'ifty-second street, where the drivers
l drew rein, and the five voung men and
' the three young women alighted, tripped
up the 6teps, and were ushered into the
great dining hall, where Mrs. Vanderbilt
: and forty invited guests were assembled
I waiting their coming.
The actors arrived directly alter supper
had beeu served to the guests and found
scenery which had been transferred from
the theatre during the afternoon already
up. and the hall transformed into a mimic
play house.
The five young men and three young
women retired to a richly carpeted ante
room, and shortly reappeared in the stage
costume of the Martens trio, and the spe
cialists and comic impersonators, Messrs.
Girard, Cole and Woodhull, and Miss
Florence Bell. They sang and cracked
jokes tor an hour, and danced on the soft
carpet of the dining hall. Then there was
a brief intermission and they all reap
peared in the picture gallery' in the new
entertainment called "The Music Box.”
It represented animated wax figures that
sing and talk and gyrate in a most laugh
able fashion. The great box in which the
actors stood was set up at the entrance of
the gallery. Its artistic surroundings of
bric-a-brac and paintings made a stai e
setting of more costly beautv than is ever
attempted in the most realistic stage pic
ture.
Mrs. Vanderbilt thanked the actors
when the entertainment finally came to an
end; her guests expressed their gratifica
tion; the five young men and the three
young women donned their ordinary cos
tume; good nights were said, and the vis
itors were escorted by footmen to the
closed carriages, which bore them back
to the theatre in time to assume their reg
ular parts belore the general public.
“Our folks had a splendid time,” said
Treasurer Sanderson last night. “Mrs.
Vanderbilt seemed very much pleased
with their efforts, and treated them all
with kindness. She sent to Mr. Pastor
some days before, saying that she was
going to’have a quiet little party at her
house, and wanted to arrange something
that would surprise and please the guests.
We occasionally fill private engagements
of this kind, and the matter was readily
arranged. Mrs. Vanderbilt took the
troupe up to the house in fine style, and
made it very pleasant for them while
they remained.”
POKFR-PLVYING SENATORS.
A Fellow Who Agreed to Come in on
the Next Hand.
A Washington correspondent of tbeTroy
Times says: The good game of poker
has still many devotees. Nearly all the
Southern Senators enjoy a sit-down occa
sionally for just enough stakes to make
the play interesting. Kellogg, of Louisi
ana, was the worst opponent last winter,
but I am told that Bowen, who succeeded
Tabor, Chilcott’s successor, is now king.
He learned to look the man on the o.ther
side of the table in the eye down in Ar
kansas with Dorsey and Clayton. After
ward he gained the artistic' finish in the
mining camps of Colorado. No one man
can rake in a handsome pile, or, for that
matter, lose it, more nonchalantly
than he. Almost every Senator
has a specialty, and Bowen’s is
poker. Senator Harris likes to lie
one of the party. So does Mr. Vest. Rid
dleberger appreciates the value of a four
ace hand. When Joe Blackburn gets
over in the Senate he will prove a valua
ble reinforcement to the lovers of poker.
They tell a story that durng the late Sena
torial fight in Kentucky he sent word to
Gen. Williams, his chief opponent, that
he would agree to settle it by a game of
poker, the one who lost to turn in and
help elect the other. I donA believe it,
but at any rate Blackburn won the prize.
That is a way they have of doing things
out in Kentucky. You remember how
Willis, who now represents Louisville in
the House, got his seat. He and a man
named Caldwell had been having a bitter
fight for the nomination. The contest grew
so ugly that there seemed to be no
amicab'l^way of coming to a settlement.
F'inallv, a mutual friend proposed that
they should toss up a cent to decide it.
It happened to strike the politicians as a
happy solution. They met and tossed.
Willis got “heads” and the convention
with great unanimity indorsed the result,
so that Willis came to Congress. By the
way, though it has nothing to do with the
subject, 1 hear that Henry Clay, a grand
son of the “great commoner,” is booked
for the place after Willis. Clay is a
very brilliant young man. More’ heavy
poker playing in late years has gone
on in Chamberlin’s old club house
than in any other building in Wash
ington. F'ortunes were made and lost
there. The place is now owned by the
Young Men’s Christian Association. Soon
after the change was made a well-known
sporting man dropped in one evening, a
trifle mellowed by some brandy a friend
had given him to sample. The new oc
cupants were holding a praise meeting,
and a dozen of them were singing the old
refrain,
‘•There is always room for more.
Come in, come in.”
He thought he appreciated the situation,
and blandly replied: “No, gentlemen, play
out your game. I’ll come in on the next
hand.” Need 1 say he was from Virginia?
Narcissus Farming.
The Scilly Islands are being devoted to
the cultivation of narcissus, being found
particularly favorable to it. A writer in
the St. James' Gazette, describing a nar
cissus farm in one of those islands says:
“Here the plant grows luxuriantly in long
rows of beds, and, where the shelter is
most complete, the stalks are sometimes
nearly a yard in length. Nothing is much
pleasanter for those who care for flower
gathering than to spend an hour or two
plucking the crisp stalks. They are set
side by side in deep, round gathered bas
kets. Thus collected they are conveyed
to the farm house, sorted and tied in
bunches. A dozen stalks go to a bunch,
and some little experience is necessary to
attain perfection in the art of tying them
up satisfactorily. F'ifty or sixty, or sev
enty bunches make up each basket, which
is then ready for Covent Garden. A pret
tier farming industry it would be hard to
imagine. An additional charm lies in the
fact that all these fair flowers are bloom
ing when the days are shortest and drear
iest. Then there is something of charm
in the reflection that so much floral beau
ty flourishes within a stone’s throw of the
Atlantic, when in its wildest and storm
iest moods,”
AX AUSTRIAN EXECUTION.
Pulling the Condemned Man by the
Heels ti Tighten the Rope.
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Telegraph gives an account of
the execution of Sponga and the other
murderers of Chief Justice Majlath. which
shows a somewhat peculiar method of
disposing of condemned criminals. Sixty
persons were allowed to witness the exe
cution, which took place in a small court
yard inside the prison. Three posts about
eight feet high and four feet apart were
erected in the centre. At the top of each
post was a small hook, and at the bottom
a pulley. Toe three men were brought
out at T precisely and placed each with
his back against one of the posts. They
were not blindfolded. Each of them was
attended by a priest. In front of them
the troops and spectators formed an irreg
ular semi-circle, while in the centre stood
the,Judges of the last Court of Appeal, in
ordinary morning dress. Some little time
was occupied by the reading of the sen
tence, a most ’ unnecessary formality
which had been gone through already in
presence of the three criminals the previ
ous day at the Court of Appeal. On a sig
nal given by the public prosecutor the ex
ecution was then proceeded with.
Sponga, who was placed to the left, was
the first to suffer the penalty ot the law.
Two steps were placed at the foot of the
post, which the convict was bidden to
mount, his bands being then pinioned to
his left thigh. He looked pale, but kept
his nerve and asked pardon of the Majlath
family and of the authorities. A screen
of wood was put between him and the two
others, after which the chief executioner
mounted a ladder and. taking out of his
pocket a rope with a loop at both ends,
passed it round the culprit’s neck, and.
securing a knot under the left ear, tight
ened it. Meanwhile, one of the assistants
tied his feet together with another rope,
and passing it through the pulley kept the
other end in his hand. The chief execu
tioner then gave the signal, and with the
aid of another assistant the convict was
lifted by the rope attached to his neck
about six inches and hung on the hook at
the top of the post. The attendant hold
ing the rope attached to his legs simulta
neously pulled with force, while his chief
placed his hands on the criminal's mouth
and eyes. Death ensued in about two min
utes—not, as some accounts state, in sev
enteen.
The execution of the others then took
place in the same way. The man Pitely,
who was theprineipal'authorof thecrime,
had a ruffianly countenance,beetle-browed
and ot sallow complexion. In his case
death resulted in half a minute. The last
of the three, by name Berecz, was a big,
shambling fellow, with a Newgate slouch,
an eagle nose, and an Oriental cast of
countenance. He lost his nerve and had
to be supported to the stake. He kissed
the crucifix and called upon the Almighty
to curse his Judges. The President of the
Court of Appeal thereupon ordered the
drums to play, so as to drown his voice.
Death with him was instantaneous, but
his face, unlike that of his accomplice,
was fearfully distorted. The principal
priest in attendance then knelt down, and
the spectators, with uncovered heads, lis
tened to a short prayer for the souls of the
departed. Within fifteen minutes three
doctors had successfully examined the
bodies with stethoscopes, and declared
life to l>e extinct. The bodies were left
hanging half an hour, and then removed
to a dissecting room.
An Improvement on tlie Karens.
Hartford Courant.
Mrs. Isabella Jamieson Marshall,
formerly a teacher in our high school, is
spending a few days in this city. She lives
on an island in’-the Ohio river, near
Wheeling. During the recent flood in
that section some ot her neighbors found
their cow on the Yeranda one morning.
The house was surrounded with water,
and when they opened the door the eow
walked into the house, where she was
permitted to remain. They slept in the
chambers, and when they came down in
the morning a foot of water covered their
first floor. As soon as the door was
opened the cow at once inserted her head
in the stairway anil walked up stairs.
The provisions in the house being either
in the cellar or spoiled by water, the
family had no food for two days except
milk from the cow, who thus proved a
welcome though uninvited guest. After
wards a supply of eatables was brought
them in small" boats. The high water
kept them in the upper story upward of a
week, during which time the cow was fed
with corn hu6ks which were taken from
the mattresses on their beds.

“Yes, sir; this kind of work obliges a man
to keep sober as a judge. Of all men in the
world steamboat pilots and railroad engineers
should let liquor alone. For on their clear
ness of sight and coolness of head depends the
safety of life and property.”
Keeping his hand on the wheel as he said
this, Mr. A. Brockman, of No. 29>4 Silver
street, Chicago, added: “Of course, some of
’em drink; but the sober ones have the best
positions and the beet pay. Yes, the work
and exposure sometimes tells on us; but for
my part I llnd Parker's Tonic to be all the
invigorant I need. I’ve got a bottle aboard
here”now; never go on a trip without it. When
I haven't any appetite, or am in any way out
of sorts, it sets me up in no time, if drinking
men would use the Tonic it would help 'em to
break oil'. (No, that isn’t a light house; it's a
star, low down near the water.) As I was say
ing, the Tonic is new life bottled up. You see
that flag staff' Well, with a bottle of Park
er’s Tonic in the locker I can keep malaria as
far from me as that, all the time. My wife
has used it for three vears for summer com
plaints and colic, and as an invigorant, when
she’s tired out from overwork, she says the
Tonic is a daisy, Good-bye! Don’t break
your neck going'below.”
This preparation, which has been known as
Parser's Ginger Toxic, will hereafter be
