to stow away tbo bunches aa they were jias.sed
down. Oilier me.i were stationed littwcen
the rail ami tint hatch to pass tho bunches
along. Men and women carried tho bunches
from the kIk-1 to the .hip and h(iid-d t hem to
the men 011 tbo hanging plat form. An in
spector was coiiytun'.ly n tlio wharf keeping
a sharp eye 011 every bunch and rejecting all
that had any blciin.li r wcro under size. A
colored man v.-ith a blu-.rn cutlass stood about
midway bet we-.a tho shed ai:d the ship, and
with a dexterous blow cus tlio long and use
less stem from each buneji as it wits carried
past. Thus each bunch went through live
bands in it short journey from tho storage
shed to tho bold of tho ship: First 11 girl or
man picked up a hunch from tho great heap
ill th shed, put it. i n her or bis bead, and
carried it to the men on tho hanging plat

in turn handed it to tho men in tho hatch

remain till it reached -Sew ork.
The oritur to begin work instantly turned
tho quiet wharf into one of tho liveliest
places imaginable. Twenty men and girls
mado a ruah for the bhed and camo out, one
jsuter another, with hutches of bananas on
their heads, hurrying as if their lives de

jnen 011 tho platform, as they received the
bunches, called ot tho number for the tally
keejer, -th- m;uie a mark for every bunch

then tho other, each 0:10 as Lo handed hii

Sedentary Habits.
In this age of push and worry, the
bu iness man and the professional man
are alike unable to devote any adequate
time to exercise. In the daily round of
toil and pleasure, no suitable provision
is made for that important fuuciton, nnd
the result is that men of sedentary habits
become subject to many forms of ail
ments arising from a torpid or sluggish
liver. Constipation, sick headache, bil
iousness nnd disptpsia arc all due to the
improper action of tho liver. Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant purgative Pellets cure these
troubles by restoring the liver to its nor
mal condition.

CIVIL SERVICE EKFOBM.
The men who abandoned the republican Dar
ty u liii aud continue to adhere to the demo
cratic party have deserted not only the cause
of honest government, but of sound finance, of
freedom .and purity of the ballot, but espec
ially have deserted the cause of reform in the
civil service. We will not fall to keep our
uiedsea because tl ey have Lronen theirs, or
oei'auxe meir canuiuiiie nas uroKrn ins. ne
therefore repeat our declaration of 1884, towit :
ine reiorm oi civn service auspiciously Degnn
under republican administration should be
completed by a further extension of th reform
s stem already established by law to all grades
of the service to which it is applied. The spir
it aud purpose of reform should be observed in
all executive appointments, and all laws at
varience with the object of existing reform leg
islation should be repealed, and that the dan
gers to free Institutions wmeh lurk in the pow
er ft official patronage mey be wisely and ef
fectively avoided.
- The gratitude of the nation to the defenders
of the union cannot be assured exceDt bv laws.
The legislation of congress should couform to
the pledges made by a loyal people, aud be so
enlarged and extended as to prov'de against
the vnsHibtiity tlit any man who honorably
wore the federal uniform shall become an In
mate of an almshouse or dependent on rrivate
charity. In the presence of an overflowing
treasury it would b a public scandal to do less
for those whose valorous service preserved the
government. We denounce the hostile spirit
shown by President Cleveland in hi numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the
action of the democratic bouse of representa
tives in refusing even consideration of general
peuston legislation.
In support -f the principles herewith enun
ciated we invite the co-operation of patriotic
men cf all parties, especially of all working
men whose prosperity is serions'y threatened
by the free trade policy of the present admin
istration. The first co- eem of 1I good government is
the virtue and sobriety of the i-eopl Mid the
purity of their homes. The republican partv
cordially sympathizes with -)l wise nnd well
directed efforts for the promotion of temperance.
A Warning.
The modes of death's approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from disease of the
in oat auu ianys iliata any other. It is
probable that everyone, without excep
tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life nnd develop, at first sloMly and
is shown by a slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs produc
ing Consumption and to the head, caus
ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous
and if allowed to continue will in time
cause death. At the onset you must act
with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and may
loose you your life. As soon as you feel
thift something is wrong with your throat,
lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of Bos
shee'g German Syrup. It will giye you
immediate relief.
