Did you ever stop to think what indi-
gestion really means! 1t means simply
that your stomach is tired. If our legs
are tired, we ride. The horse and the
steam engine do the work. Why not
give your stomach a ride; that is, let
something else do its work. Foods can
be digested outside of the body. All
plants contain digestive principles
which will do this. The Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial contains digestive princi-
pies and is preparation designed to
rest the stomach. The Shakers them
selves have such unbounded confidence
in it that they have placed 10 cent sam
pie bottles on the market and it is said
that even so small quantity proves ben
eicial in vast majority of cases. All

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.


Congress having failed to agree up
on financial measure afording the
relief asked for by President Cleve-
land, and the continued Withdrawals
of gold reducing the government re-
serve still further, the administration
made no concealment of the fact that
it would on its own account make an
other issue of bonds.
Senator Elkins, of this State, thought
he saw an opportunity to make some
political capital for his party and some
reputation for himself, and, having
Jumped to the conclusion that the
President would arrange with a syn
dictate of bankers to take all the bonds.
the Senator introduced resolution in
the Senate forbidding the President or
the Secretary Of the Treasury from sell
ing the bonds privately and requiring
that the bond issue be advertised be-
fore sale. The President had hereto
fore sold an entire issue of bonds to a
syndicate of bankers, who got large
proportion of the gold from abroad
and further agreed not to draw the
gold from the Treasury again and to
protect the reserve for certain length
of time. 1t was a clean, sensible, bust
ness-like transaction about which there
was no concealment and no wrong.
Senator Elkins took a sort of senti-
mental view of the situation, arguing
that The people generally ought to
have a chance to buy the bonds and
get what little profit there was in the
investment. He seemed to think that
there would be a great emptying OF
old stockings and upturning of old
teapots where grannies had stored
away their boards of gold. There was
a good deal of buncombe in the reso-
luton unnecessary to enlarge upon.
Right in the midst Of the discussion
of the Elkins resolution, however, the
wind was taken out of the Senator s
sails. Secretary Carlisle issued a cir
cular inviting subscriptions from any
and all persons for a hundred million
of 4 per cent bonds, to be paid for in
gold, in installments. thus giving every
body a chance to show their patriotism
and get rid of their gold.
The response to the circular will be
awaited with anxiety and the result of
the plan will be watched with interest,
Having taken Senator Elkins's own
ideas III the matter, we think the very
least the Senator can do is to unload
his own stocking and get from between
the chinks of that little cabin of his in
the West Virginia mountains the gold
dollars he has hidden away and send
them on to Washington.

Mr.. EDIToR-I wish to add my pro-
test to the general Indignation expressed
at the rioting permitted in our town on
the nights of the 9th and 3lst oil De-
cember.
On the 24th, beginning with twilight,
| our town was perfect pandemonlum.
Fire crackers of all sizes and power were
exploded, drums were beaten, horns
blown-and every and anything that
could add to the uproar was brought IN
to requisition. This din, which the
Chinese employ to drive away evil spir-
its. was permitted by Christian people
to usher in and celebrate our most gen.
orally recognized Christian festival.
Ali realize that the small boy should
have some liberty at such time; but is
II wise TO allow such license and just TO
the community that they should be en-
tirelv deprived of their nights rest, for
this uproar continued all night-not sub
siding until after four o clock next morn
ing. On the night of the 3lst the scene
of the 24th was again enacted, only the
rioters went to greater excess. Sleep In
any part of the town was impossible.
Not only were drums, horns and crack
ers used, but the frequent firing of guns
added 10 the tumult, and this, am told,
was permitted by the town authorities.
Is our town so prosperous. and its popu-
lation increasing so rapidly, we can az
ford 10 defy public opinion and invite
the disorders of mining camp?
What do our town officials mean by
laying aside all authority at time when
other towns and cities think it necessary
to increase the power and efficiency OF
its police force?
Hoping with the new year" we will
turn over a new leaf, and our little
town build up such "a character for peace
and order we may do away with the un-
favorable comments, already brought
upon us by our own indifference and
carelessness-and remember, we can
pull down in one day. what it will take
months, yes. even years, to build up:

THE recent war scare has shown the
necessity of improvements in our coast
defenses and enlargement of our navy.
Congress is willing to make appropria-
tons for these purposes, but money is
scarce.
Why not cut down the pension list
one-half for one year and take the
xxoney thus saved for military and
naval operations? This plan would
yield $70,0OO,0OO and would seriously
hurt nobody.
