In view of the rumorcd dissensions
in the Gladstone cabinet previous to
its fall the following passage from q
speech of Sir Charles Dixie, delivered
Just after that event, is of great sig
nilicance: "Mr. Gladstone is man
who differs from other men who are
growing old, and he differs from them
in this that while other men as they
grow old have too often their minds
cramped or warped with time and
age, his political principles grow and
expand with those of the country and
the times, until now, when he has be-
come an old man for the great leader
of great party, he has become in
more complete sympathy with the
more advanced section of the party
which he leads than he ever was at
any time before" ="

Helm to Good Digestion.

In the British Medical Journal DR.. W.
Roberts, of England, discusses the effect Of
liquors, tea coffees and cocoa on digestion.
All of them retard the chemical processes,
but most of them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions Dis
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptic
digestion but slightly when sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highly injurious
to salivary digestion. On peptic digestion
all wines exert retarding influence They
stimulate the glandular and muscular ac-
tivitv of the stomach. Effervescent wines
exert the greatest amount of good with the
least harm to digestion. When ones di-
gestion is out of order everything goes
awry, unless. as in the case of T. T. Seals,
of Bellaire, Ohio, who had bad dyspepsia
for seven years, the digestive apparatus is
kept III apple-pie eating order by Warmers
Tippecanoe, the best appetite producer and
regulator in the world.
Tea, even in minute quantities, complete
" paralyzes the action of the saliva. The
tannin in strong tea is injurious Weak
tea should be used, if at all. Strong coffee
and cocoa are also injurious if used in ex-
cess.-[The Cosmopolitan.

Quoted with ability and success. No

Those Conspiracy Gases.

SALT LAKE, December 17th.-The Tribune
referring to the charges of the Mormon
press and certain journals outside, that
Federal officials and prominent Gentiles
had been smirched by the Church con-
spiracy in the interest of lewdness, will
sag tomorrow: One man has been ar
rested, charged with lewd conduct, who
was appointed Assistant Districy Attorney
to attend one term of Court. Another man
has been arrested who is deputy under
Marshal Ireland. They are neither Federal
officers, in the sense usually intended, and
neither has been conspicuous in opposing
the Mormon lawlessness and nastiness. OF
the other citizens arrested, none have ever
been anti-Mormon in the sense which the
Herald and NeirS wish to convey to the
country, as men who assumed virtue
which they had not. The Federal officers
and citizens for whom the conspiracy was
organized in the hope Of catching, have
never been disturbed.

y CORRESPONDENT of the RECORD
UNION yesterday suggested that the title
of the anti-Chinese association will pre-
vent many desirable influences from unit
ing in the agitation. He suggests that the
title Of these organizations be the 4" No Bal
lot, No Admission League" II may be
that there is something in this objection.
Indeed, it is altogether probable that a
good many people do not like the nomen-
c,ature of the present agitation. But it
would be anti-Chinese no matter what
called. That is the beginning, though it
ought not to be the end of the movement.
That is to say, this restriction idea ought
70 be carried so far as to exclude from
entry at the port of San Francisco and all
other ports the Objectionable classes of all
nationalities whose entry is barred by the
Act of Congress- recently quoted in these
columns, and which gives power to a State
Commission, acting at Castle Garden, to
prevent the landing of idiots and insane
criminals and those likely to become a
charge upon the community. We wish
that the law included French Communists,
German Socialists and Irish Dynsmiters
in its prescription. The suggestion of
Governor Stoneman, announced some weeks
ago in these columns, that to that list of
prescribed ones there should lie added, by
amendment, the words, and those inelig-
ible to become citizens of the United
States is an excellent one BY this means
the purpose of the whole anti-Chinese
movement would be comprised But
our California Congressman appear to
have given no attention to the
Governors suggestion, though it seems to
lie eminently meritorious. Such an amend
ment or agitation in favor of it would ex-
actly meet the ideas of our correspondent,
and form a sound basis for league with
the title No Ballot, No Admission"
