A CASE IN POINT.

IN our forefathers' days, pimples were az
tributed TO diseased blood. But modern
medicine has demonstrated that rich food
does not create eruptions by fouling the
blood, but retards digestion, which makes
the stomach torpid, and the circulation
sluggish, and in turn causes an enfeebled
sction OF the pores which congest or become
pimply. The modern theory therefore is not
TO treat the blood, but the stomach and liver,
and it is under this new idea, that Joys Vege-

NOT TO BE RENEWED.

SECRETARY of the treasury Window
bas decided to refuse a renewal of the
lease 10 the Alaska Commercial COM
many. which since 1870 has had mo-
nopolv of Alaska seal fishing to the
exclusion of all other seal hunters.
Secretary Window has decided to
throw the privilege open to general
competition, and viii advertise for bids
and propositions for letting the lease
to the highest bidder or any company
which viii give the largest sum and
guarantee TO the government.
By an act of the last congress the
secretary was authorized to renew the
Lease Of the old company or to give
the privilege to whom he pleased.
The matter has been given careful
consideration by the secretary, and
his advisers for two weeks, to the
almost total exclusion of other mat
ters. Solicitors Hepburn and attor-
ney-General Miller were asked fol
legal opinions, and decided that nm
der the act of congress the secretary
had full power to renew the old lease
without new bids and could use his
own Judgment
Advertisements will be issued for
publication in a few days, when the
form of contract has been fully de.
cided upon. 1t viii, undoubtedly, be
like that under which the Alaska COM
pany has been working 81 nee 1870
The new contractors will be required
to furnish the natives employed il
the fisheries with all materials fol
curing their winter supply of meat
and to give forty tons of, coal to each
village on the islands of ST. Paul and
st. George. The company must main.
tain schools for the Indian children
on these two islands, and must Kill
only certain number of seals eacl
year.
While the treasury department has
been considering this view of the mat
ter the secretary of state has been al
work, hoping to make pacific ar
rangement with the English foreign
affairs Office TO give the bidders feel
ing of security and warrant that their
rights viii be protected.

DAILY, SUNDAY And WEEKLY.
The Most Complete Newspaper
in all Departments in the
State of Indiana.

No newspaper in the West is more widely or
more favorably known than the INDIANAPOLIS
JOURNAL. By the display of enterprise and strict
attention to the wants of the reading public dur
ing the great campaign of 1883, it has taken a
leading position among the most prominent Jour-
mails of the country, and is certainly among the
best. Among the newspapers of the State it is
pre-eminently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the way of
State and local news 1t circulates largely in
every county in Indiana, and has correspondents
in every town and village of Importance Its
market reports are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense are spared
to make them accurate and absolutely reliable
1t is the only newspaper in the State owning and
great press associations (the Western Associated
Press and the United Press, in addition to which
it furnishes an abundance of special servicefrom
all the principal cities of the country. 1t has
been, and will in future be, the aim of the pub
fishers to make the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL per-
feet and complete newspaper, deficient in no de-
partment or particular. The paper challenges
comparison with any of its contemporaries.
No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Re-
publican, should be without the Journal. While
it is thoroughly and soundly Republican in poll
tics, devoted to the interest of the Republican
party, the JOURNAL will not allow its news to be
colored by partisan bias, but viii give the news
of the day without fear or favor.
Owing to the prominence of Indiana in the
ticular prominence to Washington news, which
viii be given far more completely than ever be-
fore. For this reason, if for no other no Indiana
reader can afford to be without it for the next
four years.
In addition to its new features, the JOURNAL
regales its readers with the productions of some
of the best known literary men and women Of
the day. Many of the most celebrated magazine
writer's and authors are contributors to its liter
airy columns, making it a paper for the household
and home circle. Special arrangements have
been made for features Of this character, which
will appear in the JOURNAL during the coming
year. These appear most largely in the SUNDAY
