Hon. James S. Clarkson, Republican

Hon. James S. Clarkson, Republican
has recently travelled all over the country,
was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York,
last Friday, and gave his views as to the
Presidential situation as follows:
1.-THE delegates to the convention are
now practically elected he said, land
no candidate has majority. This may
be broadly asserted, and all challengers
safely referred to the decision of the first
ballot at st. Louis for proof or disproot
of the statement.
''Here are the figures in totals as gain
ed by authentic and revised reports from
each State and congressional district con-
vention in the country:
Delegates elected for Mckinley ......... 3Si
Delegates elected for other candidate ties -. ass
Delegates actually contested. ........ 81
Total. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 91e
Gas four fifths Of these contests are
made up on Mckinley bolts from the ma
jority action of regular State and district
conventions, he cannot possibly find in
these contests enough delegates to give
him a majority, nor does he stand any
fair chance to gain them elsewhere.
ga clear and strong majority of the del
egates are not and will not be for Mckin-
ley, and will finally agree on a candidate
safe for the party and sound on all vita
issues, and nominate him.
"The effervescing talk of an acclama-
ton nomination expired last week. That
could not have happened in any event, fol
there are PA delegates instructed to sup
port candidates other than Mckinley, anc
all these instructed delegates will gladly

"A READER in last weeks Age makes
inquiry concerning an item in The Jour
nal of May 18th on the fire department.
The reply of the Age, which includes an
interview with the chief engineer, cor
roborates what The Journal said as to the
condition of the fire department at that
time We were then practically without
fire department. The old company had
resigned, and although new company of
fifteen men had been organized it had
never been out for practice. The chief
engineer says that at least one third of
the new company ''have had experience
IN the department before:'' and it is to be
inferred that the remaining two thirds
were without experience. 1t would be
unreasonable to expect much from such a
company until it had had time to prac-
tlce. The matter of insurance rates is
just as important to The Journal and
those it represents as to any others in the
community; and few more such fires as
the two last would be likely to cause the
withdrawal of the insurance companies or
radical increase in rates. 1t seemed to
us that the public interest could be best
served by calling attention to the existing
conditions with the hope that something
might be done to remedy them, and we
are glad to be able to say that a move has
been made in this direction Relfast has
been justly proud of its fire department
in the past, and it's disorganization was
directly due to the attempt to transform
it into a political machine.

According to celebrated anatomist there
are upwards of 100000 little glands in the
human stomach. These glands pour out the
digestive juices which dissolve or digest the
food. Indigestion is want of juice, weak
ness of glands need of help to restore the
health of these organs. The best and most
matural help is that given by Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial. Natural, because it supplies
the materials needed by the glands to pre-
pare the digestive juices. Because it
strengthens and lnvigorates the glands and
the stomach, until they are able to do their
work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures
indigestion certainly and permanently. 1t
does so by natural means, and therein lies
the secret of its wonderful and UNMARRIED
success.

President Eliot of Harvard in an inter
view with the Journal says the public men
are afraid to speak their minds about
the Grand Army, and that that orgauiza-
ton does little more than seek money!
| Boston Journal.
President Eliot so often comes before
the public with TN American utterances
that his attack upon the Grand Army will
cause no surprise, while it will strengthen
the conviction that he is unfit to preside
over college for young men in this coun-
try. Department Commander, W. ?.
Derby of Massachusetts was interviewed
on the subject, and we quote as follows
from his remarks:
president Eliot's opinion upon patri-
otto matters has long since been discount
ed by Grand Army men. His recent state
ment is hasty, uncalled for and discredit-
able TO man of his stamp.
president Eliot is in position to
know and could have known If he would
that his statements in relation to the
Grand Army We're false. His assertions
are absolutely without foundation.
''The Grand Army of the Republic is a
great fraternal and charitable organiza-
ton; it also strives to perpetuate the
spirit of loyalty enforced by the lessons of
late war. The pension work is merely in
cidental to the charitable work Helping
comrades is the first great work of the
organization.

ing informed that the thing was a

that the disclaimer be given prom

course Mr.. Bose has the sin to
answer for of producing the attack of

afflicted this morning, and during
which The ARGUS is accused of "a
dishonest suppression of the knowl

The ARGUS does not feel deeply i'm
