The Singing Sensation

In the Gullet called heartburn" (why,
it is impossible to conceive. since the heart
has nothing to do with it, is caused by
the acetous fermentation in the stom-
ach of the food contained ia it; by IN
overplus of the gastric juice, which is itself
a powerful acid, or by the unnaturaIly
acrid quality of that secretion. The ord
mary way of treating this symptom, for
it is nothing else, is to administer bi-car.
Donate of soda, an alkali, to neutralize the
acid. But sour stomach cannot be cured
by alkalis, which tend to weaken the dig
estive apparatus. A far better remedy is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which siren
CITIZENS the cellular membrane, the seat of
difficulty, regulates the flow of the gastric
secretion, improves the quality if vitiated.
and puts the stomach into good working,
order. Perfect digestion following as
natural sequence, and there is no more
trouble from heartburn or sour stomach.
The liver and bowels are also thoroughly
regulated by this sovereign Alternative.

1t is matter of qualification to the
friends of Alderman ONeil that he is in
favor of granting the Diamond 10 Line
equal privileges with the Northern Line.
The business interests of the city require
this, and in the opinion of Alderman
.ONeil the best way to benefit the city is
to encourage every steamboat line that
will make this city an important point in
their business. The great Importance of
our river interests now demand that all
lines of boats shall have a just and equal
chance for business.

Tha L1aion'savs that tha ferry managers

The Union.says that the ferry managers
never acquiesced. in the location OF the
ferry at thesfoot Of 18th street. This
location was decided upon when james M.
Buford was mayor. 1t is fact that this
location was selected and the improve
provement made by and with the ap-
proval of Capt. 7. j. Robinson and on his
consent to land there. Mr., Buford says
this is fact; other gentlemen9who were
members of the council at'the time cor
roborate this fact, and.Ke are disposed to
believe these gentlemen have reputation
for truth sfar superior to the Union and
fully equal to that :of interested parties.
There is no question but that the petition
of the ferry managers will be ably argued
before the council, but whatever sophistry
may be used, the real question to be de-
cided is whether in the minds of aldermen
the interest or scheme, or whim, as the
case may be, of the ferry is of greater i'm
portance than the interests of shippers and
business men.
OF course the ferry managers will at,
tempt to show that some other place wll
do as well for the Diamond 10 liue, but il
is fact that the Diamond 10 line has
always favored the city, has paid hel
wharfage promptly and in full, and is en-
titled to fair chance along side of it,
larger and more pretentious rival.
Ex-Mayor Buford is our authority fol
saying that the ferry managers agreed tC
the selection and improvement of the
present landing. This question was set
tied by the people when they elected DR.
Thos. Gait. 1t was this issue that bea
Mr.. Bailey Davenport who was the strong
est man on the ticket at that time. IL
all appearance, or as far as the public i
aware, the ferry managers have been salts
fed with the landing at the foot of It'll
street except when they wanted to 60 bacl
to the old place so as to interfere with X
r, Cable in the use of some coal lots TO
which he had paid the city $500. VIVA
their scheme is now, OF course VIII no
appear, and they will even deny befor
the council that they have any, bnt it is
little curious that they should keep 8
quiet until the Northern line get what the
want, and then suddenly step in when tn
Diamond 10 asks for an equal show.
In whatever light they may put tn
question, the vote of the council will settl
only one thing whether the ferry interest
are of more importance than another lin
of boats here. Every alderman who vote
for the ferry monopoly also votes to Civ
the Northern Line monopoly. The bus
ness men and shippers will watch thes
votes,
