The Stomach Distils Acids.

These, if existent in natural quan- tity, and unvitiated by bile, play their part in the functions of digestion and assimilation. But the artificial acid resulting from the inability of the stomach to convert food received by it into sustenance, is the producer of flatulence and heartburn, which are the most harrassing symptoms of dys- pepsia. The best carminative Is Hos- tetter's Stomach Bitters. Far more effective is it than carbonate of soda, magnesia or other alkaline salts. These invariably weaken the stomach without producing permanent benefit. No man or woman chronically dys- peptic, and consequently nervous, can be in possession of the full measure of vigor allowed by nature. Therefore, invigorate and regulate the system, and by so doing protect it from mala- ria, rheumatism and other serious maladies.

IN THE DARK.
BY JAMES wHIrooMB RILEY.

Oh, in the dephS of midnight. What fancies haunt the brain, When even the sigh Of the sleeper Sounds like a sob Of pain. A sense Of awe and of wonder I may never we'll dehne. For the thoughts that come In the shadows Never come tn the shine. The old clock down in the parlOr Like a SleepleSS mourner grteveS, And the seconds drip in the silence As the rain dripS from the caves. And think of the hands that signal The hours there in the gloom, And wonder what angel watchers Walt in the daTkened room. And think of the smiling faces That used tO watch and wait Till the click of the clock was answered By the click of the opening gate. They are not there now in the evening, Morning or noon-not there, Yet know that they keep their vigil And wait for me somewhere.

THE UBIQUITOUS TARIFF.
President Harrison's Defense of Hig
Prot ecfion and PlutocracY.

President Harrison's Defense Of High
Protection and Plutocracy.
The only reason, says President
Harrison, why manufactures and min
ing developed more rapidly in New
England and Pennsylvania than in the
South was slavery.
This Is the remark of a very super
fetal observer. Why did not slavery
continue to exist in the Northern
States? Simply because it was not
profitable. The agricultural resources
of New England did not compare to
those of the West and South, hence
profitable employment for slave labor
could not be found and the slaves
were sold South.
Then the tariff was established;
system by which the Western and
Southern States, chiefly devoted to
farming and from natural causes,
were taxed to build up the mills of
New England and the mines of Penn
sylvania.
Thus established under the false
plea of protection to infant industries,
the modern piutocracy has grown
more Unsuitable with each passing dec
ade, and it successfully resists every
attempt to curtail its enormous privi-
leges.
AS far as the West and South are
concerned, the tariff gives them no
protection from New England and
Pennsylvania. Alabama iron meets
Pennsylv ania iron in the Louisville
market. The mills of Augusta meet
the products of the mills of Lowell in
Memphis, in St. Louis. in Chicago.
with no protection whatever. If
there is any virtue in protection it
should be applied now between the
States; if ever the infants of New En-
gland needed protection from compe-
tition with Old England, our mills and
factories need protection from compe-
tition with the long established mills
and factories of the East. This is the
test which demonstrates the insincerity
of the advocates of the tariff.
The question in this sense may not
be sectional; but it is worse than Sec
tional, for it is contrary to the spirit of
liberty. The battle now waging against
the policy of restriction is battle OF
freedom, and
Freedoms battle, once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son.
Though baffied Oft, is ever won.''
The tariff builds up classes and class
distinctions; it taxes the poor for the
benefit of the rich; it makes the rich
more arrogant, more domineering,
more dangerous. 1t degrades the poor;
destroys hope in their hearts: stiles
all their aspirations, and it establishes
false wage system that is little bet
ter than slavery.

THE TOILER'S CURSE.
ProtectiOnism the Most Implacable ID
stroyer of the Producer.

Protectionism the Most Implacable De-
stroyer of the Producer.
There is no subject of public thought
in this country, nor in this world,
that touches SO directly and intimate
ly the interest, welfare, happiness of
the man who gets his living by labor
as the subject called protectionism-a
tariff for tribute.
1t is the most serious, the most vital
question of the working-man' ex-
istence; for it involves the problem of
his living at all.
1t is a system that has persistently
ergy merciless and Irresistible, the
share of the wealth produced by his
toll which he may call his own. The
method of this reduction is the dis
tinguishing character which recon-
mends the system to its advocates. 1t
is its nature, that can no more be
changed than the laws of God can be
changed, to make the rich richer and
the poor poorer. It is plan of tax
alton. not laid on the wealth or in
come of the taxpayer, but on his
necessities.
These are in the ratio of the number
of persons he must provide for. 1t
compels the man with a large family
to pay more than the man with d small
family. Ii the living of the latter
costs $3.50 a year, it takes $50 from his
income, and transfers the greater part
of it to the unearned gains of the pro-
tected monopolist. If the living of
the former costs 500 a year, it takes
800 from his income and gives most
of it to the protected monopolist. If
each of these toilers earns 500 a year,
one of them has $3.50 left, if he has the
faculty of saving it, while the other is
800 behind. AS the average earn
ings of the wage-workers of this
country amount to only $3.50 year,
there are a great many of them be-
hind reduced to the condition of
tramps or the state of semi pauperism
that depends in part on public charity.
This is not speculation; it is a con-
dition of labor that protectionism has
produced and is continually pro-
the distance between Dives and Laza-
rus. 1t is creating and perpetuating
in this land of alleged liberty a
money-bag nobility-the most detest-
able of all forms of aristocracy-an
a vast social substratum of pauperism
and serfdom.
This is its natural, its inevitable
fruit. Every intelligent man, who has
studiously observed its operation dur
ing the last quarter OF century,
knows that this is true-knows that
the greatest curse, the most deadly
enemy, the most implacable destroyer
of the man who gets Ais living by his
own toll, is this greatest invention of
the -protectionism.
When will the toiler learn this
supreme truth?-Chicago Globe.

THE RUSSIAN POLICE.
According to Mr. Kennen Its Chief Char

According to Mr.. Kennen Its Chief Char
acteristic Is Dishonesty.
In a recent lecture in Boston, Mr.
George Kennen referred as follows to
the Russian police: THE police of
Russia control, by means of passports,
the movements of all the inhabitants
of the Empire, keep thousands of 'sus-
pects' constantly under control, and
certify to the courts the liabilities of
bankrupts. They conduct pawnbrok-
er's sales of unredeemed pledges, SUI
perintend the repairs of roads and
bridges, collect statistics aud enforce
sanitary regulations, make searches in
private houses, read the correspond
ence of suspects give certificates to
identify pensioners, admonish church
members who neglect too long
to partake of the holy COM
munion, and enforce obedience to
thousands of multifarious orders and
regulations. It is hardly an exagger-
alton to say that in the peasant viii
lagos of Siberia, away from the CEN
tiers of enlightenment and education.
the police are the omnipresent and ON
nipotent regulators of every thing-a
sort of bureaucratic substitute for Di-
vine Providence. The police of Rus
STA are divided into four classes: The
rural police, the common metropolitan
police of the cities, the detective and
secret police, and the gendarnaes. The
strongest class numerically is that of
the rural police, who enforce the or
ders of the Government in the peasant
villages. According to a recently-pub-
lished statement, there are in the
forty-seven provinces of European
Russia 10000 towns and villages
where Intoxicating liquors are sold at
retail. If we suppose that for every
such village there are two police off :
GERS, which, perhaps, is not an over
estimate. we have an army of over
SOC, 900 men in this one class, without
including Siberia or any part of Asiatic
Russia The rural police are divided
into STAINS, or stations. They wear a
uniform, and are armed with saber
and revolver. Their salaries are from
$40 to 500 pei year tor private and
$500 for the chief of district. The
natural result is that the rural police
represent the worst elements OF the
whole population. A large proportion
of them are ignorant and stupid. Inose
who have brains are generally dishon-
est. and use the orders OF the Minister
of the Interior in innumeraDle In
stances to extort money from the peas
ants"

THE GIRLS AND THEIR eEAux.


The girls were out walking,
And busily talking
VI the beaux, and OF weddings and parties for
sooth,
When one of them blushing
And giriishly gushing,
Told stories about society youth
He was stylish and slender
And dressed in great splendor,
ais manners were charmingly fine, don't you
know,
But his record was hazy,
Yet the girls were all crazy
TO be introduced to this elegant beau
Another spoke after
With ripples Of laughter
VI one who was such a ridiculous SWELL
An out-and-out dandy,
But he kept her in candy
ana SO she pretended to like him right well.
Another said signing:
There's no use denying
Inc men OF to-day are terrible lotr'
When all in a furry,
spoke in u hurry
ana said there were many knew who were not.
But if Jennie and Millie,
And tie rest were so silly
As to keep brainless tops at the end Of their
chain,
They'd repent OF their folly
With deep melancholy.
some day when their tears and lamentngs
were vain.
If candy and clothes
Make attractive the beaux,
And girls are delighted with show and pre-
tense,
IT'S surely no wonder
That daily they blunder,
And keep at 4 distance the men of good sense.

EAST AFRICAN MISSIONS.

The Comprehensive Work Carried On by
the Protestant and Catholic Churches.
Missionary interests have become
very extensive in East Africa The
Church Missionary Society and the
Universities Mission. of the Church of
England; the Established and the Free
Church, of Scotland; the London Mis-
sionary Society, the United Methodist
Free Churches and the Church of Rome.
all have missions on the coast or in the
interior.
The Church Missionary Society has
two distinct lines of missions-one with
it's basis at Mombasa, in the English
Sphere of Influence, with eight sta
tions, some of which are on or near
the coast and some in the interior.
One is in the neighborhood of Mount
Kilimanjaro. The second line of stu
lions is that which stretches from Fan
zibar to Uganda. There are nine sta
tions in this line, beginning with Mann
boia and Mpwapwa, nearly due west
from Zanzibar, and including Usam-
biro, Msalala and Nasa, south of the
Victoria Nyanza and Rubaga, in Ugan-
da, at the north of the great lake.
The Universities Mission has twelve
stations-one at Zanzibar, four in the
Usambara country north of Zanzibar,
four on or near the River Rovuma, and
three on the east shore of Lake Nyassa-
The two Scottish churches have
the Free Church five stations on Lake
Nyassa, the Established Church one
on Lake Shirwa, at the south of Lake
Nyassa. The route to this region is
by the Zambesi and Shire rivers.
The London Society goes further
west than any of the other societies,
and plants two stations on Lake
Tanganyika and one at Urambo in the
Unyamwezi country, south of the Vic
toria Nyanza, and near the stations OF
the Church Missionary Society. The
route was formerly from Zanzibar
through Mpwapwa to Ujiji; now there
is another route by the Zambesi and
Shire, Lake Nyassa and road thence
| to the southern end of Lake flanagan

The United Methodist Free Churches
have two missions in the Mombasa
region and one in Gallaland.
Three German Protestant societies
have five stations-three in Gallaland,
one in Zanzibar and one in Dar-es-
Salam, where one of the massacres took
place. 1t is the Berlin Society which
maintains the last two stations.
These are all the Protestant missions
between Vito and the Rovuma river;
but there are German and French
Roman Catholic stations. There are
three French stations on or near Lake
Victoria, the most important of which
is the one in Urganda, under the con-
troll of Pere Lourdel; two on Lake
Tanganyika; one at Bagamoyo, near
Zanzibar, and one or two others. The
Jesuits have also few stations, and
the German Catholics have one at OAR

The lecturer asserted that bribery
was almost universal among the ofii-
cials. An instance of this was as Ici-
lows: In every village there was gem
orally one Jewish capitalist. At p
time when the peasants we're about 70
float their wheat to market on barges,
one of these capitalists proposed to the
official that when the peasants applied
to him for their passports to enable
them to travel to the market, he should
tell them that they had been sent to
the department for renewal, or invent
some other excuse to prevent the
peasants from travelling. Then he (the
capitalist) would buy their wheat at
home for about half its value, and
divide up the profits with him. To this
the official agreed, and the scheme was
carried out, with the result that the
peasants became discouraged, and
agriculture declined.

Honesty Finds Its Reward.

Some time ago wealthy man died
in Brussels, leaving nearly his entire
fortune to a young woman who was en-
tirely unacquainted with him. The
American Art Printer explains that
this is how it came to pass: He was q
very eccentric man, and set out like
Diogenes, in search Of an honest man.
His tub was an omnibus, and his Lam
tern small coin. In the omnibus he
used to take his seat every day near
the conductor, and always showed him
self very obliging in passing up the
money of passengers and returning
the change, but to the latter he always
managed to add franc or half franc
Then he would watch those to whom
it came. They would count it CAREFUL
ly, notice the extra coin, and invaria-
bly, slip it into their pockets. No one
thought of the poor conductor, whose
meager salary of three francs day
could ill support such loss. But at
last young woman passed hers back
with, Conductor, you have given ma
half franc too much" Diogenes, de-
lighted, followed her home, made in-
ouiries, and. as the answers were sat-
isfactory, made his will in her favor.
though he never gave her warning that
her half franc was going to bring her
half million.
