Hale and Hearty I'm Old Age,

What is more beautiful than an ancient tree
clothed with an ample robe of verdure. Apt
is the comparison between such a growth and
an old man or woman infused with health and
vigor. The sine qua non, the indispensable
condition OF vigorous youth, robust manhood
and a virile old age, is sound digestion. With
out this life is shorn of the hearty zest that
should attend 1t. No more beneficent and
agreeable contributor to the attainment of a
hale old age, and efficient means of counter
acting the inirmites that too often attend
life's decline, can be found than Hostetter's
stomach Bitters. Dyspepttc symptoms, a
quietude and rheumatic trouble are overcome
by its use. The effects of exposure and over
work are nulified by it, and it affords efficient
protection to all subjected to material in
hueuces. Give 1t a thorough trial.

NONSENSICAL LEGISLATION.

The absurdities of legislation based on

might take the case up. In Minnesota a
case was tried under the authorised meat
act of that State, and the defendant was
acquitted. There is no doubt but that sim
liar decisions will follow in all such cases.
The proposed enterprise of pumping nat
ural gas from Indiana to Chicago is to be
baffled, it is said, by absurd restrictive leg

book contains an act prohibiting, the ex-

that of the authorised meat acts Such

BETTER THAN OKLAHOMA.

The Sioux reservation is to be opened.
After several weeks of parleying and
negotiating the requisite number of In
dams have signed the agreement and
nothing now remains but to complete
the formal steps under the law. The
negotiation has been the most interest
ing of the kind on record and the result
is important. 1t will open to settlement
about 100000 acres of land, most OF
which is fit for agricultural or grazing
purposes, and will give great impulse
to the growth of South Dakota. The
territory to be opened is more ex-
tensive and more valuable than that
of Oklahoma, and the rush of emigra-
ton will probably be as great, though
the government will doubtless profit by
the experience of Oklahoma and make
better regulations in regard to the man.
ner of opening. 1t is in all respects a
better country than Oklahoma, though
not so well advertised. The Indians get
a fair price for the magnificent domain
which they cede and will still have left
large reservation to be divided among
them in severalty. Great credit is due
the commission for the skill they have
shown in the negotiation and for their
patience in bringing it to successful
conclusion. No doubt q large share of
the credit is due to the veteran Indian
| fighter and negotiat0r, Gen. Crook,
whom President Harrison wisely ap-
pointed on the commission, but the en-
tire commission has shown its fitness for
the work. AS the opening of the reser-
walton will be almost simultaneous with
the admission of Dakota as State
it is likely to prove an interesting feat

The controversy which has sprung up
as to the relative merits of the Murphy
movement and prohibition seems I'M
fortunate and uncalled for. 1t is like
the sectarian controversies which some
times cause so-called Christians to lose
sight of the common enemy in fighting
one another. There is room for all sects
who are honestly fighting the devil, and
for all forms of action against the rum
power. If Mr.. Murphy's methods are
superficial, as some charge, they GER
tainly are not injurious, and, if even
per cent. of his converts remain true to
their pledge, his efforts are justified and
his work indicated. 1t is unwise and
illiberal for him and the Prohibitionists
to criticise each others methods. They
are operating against common enemy
on parallel lines, and there is abundant
room and work for both.
