With every advance of emigration into
the far West. a new demand Is created
for Hostetter's Stomach Bltters. Newly
pcopled regions are frequently less
salubriou3 than older sett led localities, on
account of the miasma which rises from
recently cleared lands, particularly along
the banks of rivers that are subject to
freshets. The agricultural or mining
emigranS soon %learns, when he does not
already know, that the Bitters afford the
only sure protection against malaria, and
those disorders of the stomach, liver aud
bowels, to which climatic changes, ex-
posture, and unaccustomed or unhealthy
water or diet subject him. Consequently,
he places an estimate upon the great
household specific and preventive com.
mensurate with its intrinsic merits. and Is
careful to keep on hand a restorative
and promoter of health so implicitly to be
relied upon in time OF need.

The German Governments ES-
cape From Defeat.
Emperor Williams Personal Influence Alone
Saves the Naval EstimateS-Cap-
TlVi'S Critical Position.
Copyrighted 1891, by the New York Associated
Press

BERLIN. March by his personal inlu-
ence, the Emperor has succeeded in pre-
venting the defeat in the Reichstag of the
Government on the proposed addition to
the navy; but this has only been done by
Inducing some Of the members to abstain
from voting, The debate on the subject
disclosed the fact that both the Center and
Freisinnige parties were strongly opposed
TO concediug the amounts required for the
construction of two or three gun-boats, one
irunclad ond one dispatch boat. The ques-
tion, though not of striking import, became
one of serious moment for the Government
when the two parties combined to oppose
the increase OF the navy on general prin-
ciples.
Today's division in the Rechstas gave
the Government III against II, the Consti-
tuition requiring that one-half OF the mem-
bers must vote. and there being one short of
that number the voting question will be re-
sumed Monday.
Since the committee of the House heard
Admiral Hol,man's frank disclosure Of the
Admiralty projects TO raise Germany to the
rank of a great naval power the RnichStag
has been thoroughly alarmed, and it has
been difficult to persuade that body to con-
cede even reasonable demands.
1t was painful to hear Chancellor Won
Caprivi yesterday evening plead the neces-
sI,y for two more gun-boats to guard the
approaches to the Baltic Canal. Dr. Windt-
horst, the Centrist leader. contended that
the canal would not be completed before
hot frrifliDy N ina
of guu-boats could well wait. Chancellor
Won Capriyi asserted that the canal would
be opened in lS95 and held that Germany
ought to have the vessels ready to protect
ii, as it could not be protected by land forti-
fcations alone.
The action of the House clearly indicates
that national opinion IS adverse to any at
tempt to make Germany a great naval power.
and that any contest with foreign power
must be fought out on land. Emperor Will
lam is very much Disconnected over the de-
feat of his cherished idea of a grand navy.
His Majesty lays the blame for the defeat
upon the indiscretion Of Admiral Holman
in making his disclosures and the Chan
cellOr's want of parliamentary tact Admiral
Holman has offered to resign the Secretary
ship Of the Admiralty.
The position of C3priyi is understood to
be critical The Emperor has openly taken
Waldersee into favor. but it is improbable
that he VIII succeed Caprivi. The Emperor,
it is believed, cOntemplates a stronger for
eign policy. together with il return TO the
rigorous system of socialist repression
practiced by Bismarck. Signs Of the re-
adoption OF the PSince's method of govern
ment has given rise to the report that the
Emperor has opened communications with
the eX-CbaHcelloT.
A ministerial reaction against liberal
principles in dealing with the labor aues-
ton is an undoubted fact. The Rechsan-
ZeigeT in denuuncing the demand of miners
in Government pitt, warns the men that II
the strikes are resumed they VIII be rig2r-
ously TepTessCd
