THK RIGHT TO WORK.
The owl strike Wan with th- u--tomary
assurance on the part of the
dt-r that under r.o circumstances
wMi!d any act of violence he -flicl illy
ccuntnsnivd. and 4at from first to
last It would he conducted .vlth
scrupulous respwt of the lay. Never-tht-ls.f
the stage of asxressive dis
order hao been reached, and d-eds of
indisputable lawlessness are Incom
ing more frequent. In truth it may
be doubted whether etnee the strike
declared a day has passed which
fma not been marked by violations of
thf law. The anthracite miners hail
it legal right to stop work if tney
chose to do m, and it is undrtot.
furthermore, that t-hev vrc-; free from
the moral obligation of a uromiae like
that wMch they are urging their
friends In the bituminous field, with
partial success, to break. But they
were" bound to refrain not merely
from assaulting on tn-n who wanted
to eontino" or engage In the service
of the companies. They were at
liberty to use argument and percus
sion, and perhaps entitled to credit
for whatever rarw they gained by
that method. Put not for a Ingle fcour
I'd they con On,-, themselves to argu
ment of persuasion. They restored at
once to 'ntimidaiion, to slanderous
vituperatios ,to manifold and lngeni
oua acts of cruelty toward peaceable
rltijwne, including women and chil
dren aa -special objects of their well
nigh unbearable affronts.
If sue conduct as this wer strictly
within the letter of the law its con
seauences would inevitably be injuri
ous to the interests which k is meant
to serve. The Americin people, of
whom the members of trade unions are
a srmn frawion, detest meanness and
cowardice, and because they clearly
recognize the fact that such acts are
mean and cowardly they withhold their
vmnathv from a cause whose repre
sentatives seek to promote it in that
manner. Looked at, therefore, merely
from the point of view of practical
utili'y, this sort of coercoln Is the
trems of folly. But the question of
advantage is not Hie chief question. It
is the duty of the authorities to prevent
violations of the law which do take
the form of violence, and unless con
stant report:? from the mines are de
ceitful that duty has been uniformly
and flagrantly neglected hitherto. One
.if th result of Mich ncplcct--ncKiect
seemingly due to a false conception of
personal righis or t timidity how

l.al week's yearly report of te
Sues Canal directors was aa instruc
tive document It had a peculiar in
terest to those of us who rememlier
the days before Ie Lesscivs dug his
mighty ditch, days which were filled
with scorn and ridicule of that pros
pect, and with mathematical demon
strations of the impossibility of its
ever being made to pay. The Sue
Canal was reviled in advance almost
as much as the Erie Canal was by the
Tammany Hall foes of Clinton, and
perhaps as much as the Nicaragua
scheme has been by the special plead
ers of transcontinental railroads. Even
when Iisraell at Frederick Green
wood's suggestion, purchased from
Great Britain the Khedive's shares
and incidentally gave Punch the theme
of its famous "most in Egitto" cartoon
there were many of ,vm dolefully
prophesied "no returns" fron the In
vestment. For now many yv.rs. how
ever, the success and the pecuniary
profit of that canal have beJn arrrly
established.
During the year they have been
greater than ever before The pre
vious maximum was attained in
when the canal was traversed by
3607 vessels, of 9.?63,10 tone. L,t
year the number of ships was X69 of
10.S23.640 tons. The total receipts,
chiefly, of course, from transit tlls,
were $20,624,260 and working expenses
were J3.149.2C0. If -to the latter we tdd
the charges of the redemption and in
surance funds, and those of the inter
est and redemption funds on binds and
stock, we have a total exienditure of
i tft IU That 0,VM th huriftntM
surplus of $12,575,010. With so favora
ble a showing, it is not surprising to
learn that the directors have declared
a net dividend of $2". a share, which
Is larger by $3. 4J than any ever de
clared before. At the same time they
have announced a reduction of tolls
from $1.80 to $1.70. and they estimate
confidently that with the increase of
traffic, the. receipts in 1903 at the te-duct-d
rate will be as great a they
I were in 1)1 at the old rate. They
i also announce that hereafter when-
t
lever there is an increase f dividends,
' then- will be a corresponding reduction
i
'of tolls. It may b added, by the
I
j way. that the British shares, for which
' Disraeli paid the Khedive $20,90,00,
iare now worth $K!r.,0'ii,000.
j Xoiv, "the bearing of this olist-iva-i
tion lays In the application on it,"
Suppose we t-:hou!d apply it, in the
' f,ahion of th? Rule of Three, to our
I own much opposed and much d "cried
j Isthmian canal enterprise? As the j
i disparagement of the Suez Canal wa.-,
'or is, to that of ;h- American Isth
mian canal so is, or will be, the success
; of th" former to that of the latter can
al. Or as to t'ne expectations con
cerning the one have been exceeded
: l;v its success, so will the expectations
! concerning the other b? exceeded by
Its flee. s.s. Any way you lo k at it,
! 'her. is much encouragement for our
i iKthr.t'.in canal.
When a woman is nervous Vi is pncrally
sleepless. If tbore is anything; a nervous
woman dread it is the night which ought to
be so welcome as the bringer of rest and
refreshing. Her tery drtvad increases her Sq
nervousness, and the fear of tleeilessness helps to -!?
make her sleepless. Sometimes a woman by the i'A
exercise of will-iower tries to lie still and straight through
the night. When her eyes are closed she seems conscious ' &
of some perilous presence in the room. When she lies tJ
with wide open eye the gloom seems peopled with shad
owy phantoms, that grow and melt away before her
affrighted gaze. Then, perhaps, she springs from the tad
and lights the gas or a lamp, feeling that she must have the
companionship of light. And ever, from time to time, she
rises to m what hour it is, and wonders to find it is but
fifteen minutes instead of an hour since she last looked at
the clock.
One of the remarkable features about such a condition is
that so few women connect it with its common cause
womanly disease. They try all kinds of sedatives for their
nerves. They take "sleeping powders" and headache pow
ders and all sorts of drugs which at the best can only numb
the nerves and stupify the brain for a time. The real need
of nervous, sleepless women is a cure of womanly diseases.
Then with quited nerves natural, refreshing sleep will come
again.
Nervous and sleepless women bear "lad and grateful
witness to the wonderful cures effected by the use of lr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Kven when the nervous con
dition had reached the most distressing xingo, and nil other
medicines and means of cure had failed, lr. l'icree's Favorite
Prescription has effected a perfect and permanent cure.
"It is with pleasure that I write to let ou know the great benefit
I have received from your medicines, and by following your advice
regardiug sell-treatment at home," writes Mrs. Sclma Krickson, of
496 Rice Street, St. Paul, Minu. "You kindly advised me to take
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery '
and 'Pleasant Pellets.' When I first wrote you I had been to three
different doctors, ami two of them s lid I would never get letter with
out going to the hospital for an oertion. I just sat ilow n and cried,
and said, 'If I die, I will die at home with my two dear little one.
I had a mishap in May last and was weak all summer. Was notable
to do anything. If I would get up and walk lo the kitchen and back
I would have to lie in bed lor a d.iy or sometimes two' ilavs. Last
August I picked up one of Dr. Pierce's pamplets and read of liionderful work. I wrote
to him for information and received au answer within five dy from the day I wrote,
advising me to try his medicines. Now I have used six bottles o! Ins 'f avorite Prescrip
tion ' and six of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and the result is just wonderful. I did
not tell the doctors what I was taking. I have not Iietn to any physician since the day I
received the first letter from Dr. Pierce, and I feel as good as I ever did before I h id the
mishap. was so nervous I had to hav e some one by my side all the time, even in day
time, and I could hardly eat anything. I took treatment from a doctor twice a week, ami
every time I would go there I felt so sick, hut since I quit all the doctors and liegan taking
your medicine I gained right along. I have gained forty pounds within the last four
months. I weighed 125 when I began taking your medicines (in August), and now I am
. up to my usual weight 165. I cannot thank ou enough for your wonderful medicines,
and I wish you every success in the treatment of other cases as you have had in mine.
When I think what I suffered hist summer it seeuis now like a dream, for to-day I am as
well and feel as good as ever."
"My wife was sick for over eight years," writes Albert H. Fuke, Ksq., of Altamont,
Grundy Co., Tenn. "She had uterine disease and was treated by two physicians and got
no relief. At last I read in one of vour Memorandum Hooks w hich you sent mc, about Dr.
Pierce's medicines, and we decided" to try his ' Favorite Prescription.' I sent to the drug
store and got one bottle, and the first dose gave ease and sleep. She had not slept any for
three nights. ' Being sure that it would cure her, I sent for five more bottles, and when she
had taken the sixth bottle she was sound and well."
These are not exceptional cures. These letters are but two out of thousands
written hy women who found health through the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This great medicine for women establishes regularity, dries debili
tating drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It
cures nervousness, sleeplessness, backache, headache, and other consequences of
womanly disease." "Favorite Prescription " is purely a vegetable preparation
containing no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotiu. It can
not disaoive with the weakest constitution.
.Mrs. Krickson, in her letter printed above, refers gratefully to correspondence
with I)r. Fierce and advice received from him. Dr. Pierce invites sick and
ailing women to consult him by U'ttor, free. All correspondence is held in
sacred secrecy and the written confidences of women are guarded by strict
professional privacy. Address Dr. II. V, Pierce, Buffalo, K. Y.
