Honesty in politics? ?" said man who

"How's that? asked the man who sat
across from him
"Why, there's no honesty in business. So
cial or political life The elections are
crooked. The vilest sort of schemes are re-
sorted to in order to get votes. Men are
openly bribed Men who get into Office
steal everything they can get their hands
on. It's the same way in business, too
You can never tell when to trust a man
People you have dealt with for years do not
hesitate to do you up if they get chance
They sell you poor goods at high prices
They use all sorts of dishonest means to get
your trade, and when they get it they at
once proceed to get even by cheating you
And in society-why, society is rotten to its
core. Honesty Is as scarce a. purity
There is nothing that il too mean for these

That the Mobile & Ohio Railroad

the railroad are $500 IN acre on long

will net more dollars per acre than
the same crop in the North that the

At the forthcoming special election
for Congressman-at-Largo the peopl,
of Pennsylvania will have a chance
to register q ringing protest against
tho Wilson bill. Tho Wilson iniguii,
with its free iron, free coal and free
wool schedules, and its provision for
taxing thrift, deals q deadly blow "a
the wage-carncrs aud industries o.
the Keystone State. Furnace fires
are banked, mines are closed or arc
being worked ON reduced time, ant
looms are idle In Pennsylvania in

in the Union should speak put in eln
phatic tones. Ex-Speaker Galusha A

under which Pennsylvania has at.
tanned marvellous prosperity. Hi
election by q sweeping majority will
be q protest against further destruc.

the New York Sun say.:
"If 1t chooses to 20 dswn, It will be
its own choice and its own act. Ii it

tard protective tariff and income tax:
il it adopts, even by silence and sub
mission. Clcvelsnd's atrocious, anti
American and anti-D Democratic policy
of infamy in Hawaii, why then in its
dire calamity the Democracy will
have nobody to blame but itself
Where is the vital and puissant De.

no leader left, with the courage Of
Andrew Jackson, and the wisdom
and humanity OF Thomas jefferson, to
rise up and smite the impostors and
conspitors Of this luckiess day, aud b,

In the first place, you can not &C
cumulate fat unless you get rid of thu
intestinal indigestion. 1t makes yer,
little difference how much food, or o
what quality one takes, il M can moi
digest or assimilate il. First. then
get rid of your indigestion. If you
will live for a certain time on such
foods as arc digested in the stomach,
and give the iutestines . rest, You will
no doubt be permanently cured
Then attend to putting flesh Oh your
bones, but under no other circum-
stances q yon find the desired bene-
lit. A diet of lean beef that has been
chopped and robbed of the
tissues, made into fat
cakes, lightly broilcd and seasoned;
and, II Won wish, q tiny piece Of well
toasted whole wheat bread, with .
Of hot water, il persisted in for
or three months will effect q cure. |
After that you may come back grad
lally 10 csrbnnaeeOns foods. Remem-
'er that the fats are more easily con-
'erted into fat than tho sugars and
larcbcs; and all starchy foods must
e well cooked. The light lunch at
Don would be decidedly better, and
hen take your s CLOCK dinner. After
rest, that you may have plenty
time TO digest and assimilate.-

Drive Ont the CelspiraieY.

The plot for the destruction of the
friendly and recognized government
of Hawaii is still in operation, &C.
cording TO the latest advices, and II
bloodshed should not result from the
Vaccinations of Cleveland, Gresham
and Willis and their leading ally in
Honolulu, the British Minister Wode-
house, it win not be because those
conspirators have spared any effort
to arouse tumult and instruction.
The British Minister has some excuse
for his curse in making tools Of
Cleveland aud Willis; for the object
Of the conspiracy against the Pro-
yisional Government is to drag down
that government, chiefly composed of
men of American ancestry, and TO
restore . throne to which the nearest
heir is g young English-woman, n
British subject, the so-called Princess
kaiulsni. As the education, patcrnal
relations, associates and advisers of
this young woman are British, Eng
land would have virtual control over
tho islands in the event of bsr acces-
sions to the throne. Minister Wode-
house is simply doing all that be eau
to bring Hawaii under q British
dynasty.
But Whist can Americans think OF
the American copspirstors who are
scheming to destroy American pre-
dominance in Hawaii, and deliver the
islands to England under the sham Of
an Anglo Hawaiian monarchy! 1t
appears that att meeting held at the
residence OF British Minister Wode-
house, Willis and his associates in the
plot against the Provisional Govern
meBt resolved to ignore the holiday
in honor OF the overthrow of the
monarchy. The American admiral
was forbidden to display bunting and
the sailors and marines prohibited
from going on shore. The same dis
patches state that Willis and his as
sistant, the so-called American Consul
General, who is really An Englishman.
are in constant communication with
The royalist leaders, conspiring against
the government to which Willis is
accredited.
The Provisional Government should
give Willis his passports at once, If
he has not already received them.
The American people will fully sus-
tain the Provisional Government in
that course The prudence
sni patience. OF the Provisional Gov
,rnment have been commendable; tut
has ceased to be o virtue i'm
with the agent Of tho White
Iouse conspiracy. Willis should be
1peiled from llawaii.-N i. Pres.
