Mainly through Li. ii fluet.ee the
legislature passed the i ord tax bill It
provides for taxing the (ranch .---.I of
corporations—such franchises >ie are
held by corporations which use the
streets of cities for railroads, for gas
pipes or for any other purpose These
franchises in New Y’mk city, (or in
stance, are w-.rtli many millions of
dollars, Tie companies which own
them have never paid any taxis on
them. flic 1’ -rd bill author the

I they declare that they will dig his

the ether side the r-eople will retire
. him to politic.)' obscurity if he vetoes
the bill. There is no way in which he
can satisfy both parties, He must
serve the people or become th tool of
the corporations.
It is pretty safe to say that he will
j stand by the people. Ho cannot do
otherwise without stultifying himself.
■To veto the bill after n itifying the
legislature that they must pass it
would be equivalent to saying that he
had no further political ambition. The
I Ford bill will become a law and the
corporations will have to pay taxes on I
the estimated value of their franchises.

Pitts’ Carminative is pleasant to the j
taste, acts promptly, and never fails to
give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of teething, and is the
friend ol anxious mothers and puny chil
dren. A few doses will demonstrate its
value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga , writes :

claim for it, and even more ’’

Gentlemen: 1 can not recommend your Pitts’Carminative too 4
igly, as I owe my baby’s life to it. She had Cholera Infantum X
a five months old, and I could get no relief until I began using Pitt's J
ninative. The fever left her when 1 had given her but two bottles, ?
she had fattened so she did not look like the same child. I advise all V
lers who have sickly or delicate children to give this remedy a trial, fl
Respectfully, Mrs. LIEZIH MURRAY. J

HOW TO FIPeD OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours ;
a sediment or settling indicates an unheal
thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains
your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble;
too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the
back i“ also convincing proof that the kid- ‘
neys unit bladder are out of order.
What to 80.
There is comfort in the knowledge so of
ten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- .
Root,the great kidney remedy, fulfills ev
ery wish in curing rheumatism, pain in I
the back, kidneys, liver,bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. It corrects
inability to hold water and scalding pain <
in passing it, or bad effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled (
to go often during the day, and to get up
many times during the night. The mild 1
: and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
j Root is soon realized. It stands the high-
I est for its wonderful cures of the most dis-
I tressing cases. If you need a medicine you
j should have the best. At druggists fifty
cents or one dollar.
You may h ive a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send youi
addjess to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham- -
ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and
mention that you read this generous ofi'ej
in the SIibPLE Gbohuu. Fasmkr. i
