When your stomach begins to trouble you
it needs nelp. The help it needs is to di-
gest your food, and, until it gets it you
won't have any peace. Stomach trouble is
very distressing very obstinate, very dam
gerous. Many of the most dangerous dis
eases begin with simple Indigestion. The
reason is that Indigestion (not-digestion, not
nourishment) areakens the system and al
lows disease germs to attack it, The anti

If the Republicans elect the President
next fall and have majority in both
Houses, they will probably pass some
thing like the old Mckinley tariff bill.
and they will generally suppose that this
will bring in an era of prosperity; but it
will not do so any more than the old Nc
Kinley tariff which led to the terrible de-
feat Of 1890. 1t will be full of excesses
and abuses which will bring about an
other reaction, and there will then be in
a few years another kind of tariff with a
similar result. E. L. Godkin in the MAY
Forum.
Mr.. Godkin, although an allen by birth
and a free trader, has been the editor of a
New York daily for many years. and
ought to, and probably does, know that
he is stating what is not true and pre-
dieting what cannot possibly happen.
There is no thought on the part of the
Republicans of reviving the Mckinley bill.
1t answered its purpose at the time it was
passed, the country prospered under it,
the public debt was reduced and the pub
lie credit maintained; but conditions have
changed, and tariff legislation if entrusted
to Republican hands will be shaped to
meet existing requirements. The selling
of bonds to favored syndicates to meet
the current expenses of the government
viii be stopped an adequate revenue will
be provided, and our idle mills and fac.
tories, and the numerous industries Grip
pied or killed by Democratic legislation,
of prosperity. 1t is because people gen.
orally realize these facts that Republican
victory in November is practically ensur-
ed. The country has suffered enough from
Democratic mis- rule.

The action of the Vermont Republicans
in declaring for Mckinley was a surprise
and disappointment. New England is a
small section of the country and it is only
10y united action and by the superior
ability of their representatives in Con-
gress that the New England States can
hold their own against other and hostile
sections. We are living now under Demo
cratic legislation specially framed by
southern men for the destruction of New
England industries, and which has al
ready done much in that direction. The
West, too, is hostile, although itself large
iy the creation of New England brains and
New England capital Under these cir.
cumstances we believe, with the Boston
Herald, that ''Vermont has been false to
her section of the country and false to
American better sentiment. She has done
great wrong refusing to support so emf
nent son of New England as Thomas B.
Reed.

Ihe large majority by which the Maine

The cheese-paring policy as applied to

The cheese-paring policy as applied to
city affairs should stop at the salaries of
pound-keepers, truant officers and draw
tenders. When it is proposed to impair
the efficiency of the public schools by
placing the responsible Office of supern-
tendent at the disposal Of the lowest bid
der, or by making the salary one that no
competent person would accept, it is time
for protest. A superintendent who is not
properly qualified would be worse than
useless, and the money paid him would
be thrown away. While people may sub
nit with more or less resignation to retro
gression in other directions, and to pan
dering to personal vanities at the expense
of the public, the line ought to be drawn
when the school system is attacked and
the interests Of the rising generation i'm
periled.

WHY Not Reed :?

The Democratic papers have already
nominated Mckinley, in advance OF the
ST. Louis convention, and are now MAX
ing up his Cabinet He is, of course in
the lead to-day, but it remains to be seen
whether he will command majority of
friends of Mr.. Reed are by no means dis
couraged and there are many who pre-
dict that in case of his defeat the nominee
will not be Mckinley. The latter owes
his prominence mainly to the fact that he
has come to be regarded by the people as
the apostle of protection. The bill which
of his position as chairman of the COM
mittee which reported it, has been the
target for Democratic free trade argu-
ments ever since it was enacted. Three
years under Democratic free trade legis-
lation has caused the sufferers from that
ruinous policy to turn to the reputed au-
thor of the Mckinley bill for relief. That
is the secret of his strength day. That
bill was the work of Republican Con
gress, not of one man. Its most valuable
feature, the reciprocity clause, was added
through the influence of James G. Blaine.
All the Republican candidates for the
Presidential nomination are as sound on
the protection policy as Mckinley. In
this respect they stand on common foot
ing. The nomination and election of any
one of them, with Republican Congress,
would bring speedy relief from the con-
ditions which have paralyzed nearly every
industry in the country and thrown thou
sands upon thousands Of our people out
of employment. Why, then, should we
not nominate Reed, the peer of any one Of
them? The Boston Journal expresses the
sentiment of many earnest Republicans
when it says:
The Journal supports Mr.. Reed he
cause it regards him as the strongest can
.didate whom the st. Louis convention can
nominate. 1t is our conviction that he
would not merely be a strong candidate
before the people, but that, as President,
his Administration would be safe, able
and dignifed His executive ability and
rs knowledge of men and affairs would
make his career as President signally sue
cessful and useful. If he should be NOM
mated at St. Louis there would be an in
stant and enthusiastic response from Re
publicanS all over the country. and the
! campaign would be full of fire and yigor
