Meeting


The suffragists OF the District opened
tha campaign for the restoration If the
rights and privileges of citizen
ship to the residents OF the
District last evening with a rousing
mass meeting at Hayden Hall, corner of
Penns yivania avenue and Four-and-a half
street. The meeting was under the au-
spices OF the local Federation of Labor
ami the central committee of the Suffrage
Association of Washington.
Th' following resolution was offered and
adopt ed:
Resolved, That the members of the local
Federation OF Labor, Knights OF Labor,
Central Labor Union and other citizens
of the District of CoIumbia who are mere
represented. wish to express the conyic-
tion tfatthe present government OF the Dis
tricG has been and Is un-American and IN
direct violation OF ali the principles on
which the repuhii, was founded and SHOULD
be forthwith abolished by Congress, for tile
following reasons:
Flrst-1t is the most costly municipal
government in the United States or
civilized world.
Second Commissioners ask for an up
pre- prjation for year ending June, 1893,
$S,00G,0 900, accor ling 60 population this
will be about $2S.57 for every man, woman
and child in the District.
Third-Because the present government
is the worst form I'm the world, N til
it is arbitrary and tyrannicaI, and because
the present form was never intended to
be permanent. And, without any fault
of the residents, they are deprived of the
rihg5 of ballot.
Firth-It violates both the letter and
spirit of the Constitution and Deelara tion
of Independence.

Now Recognized as Cause of Seri-
Gus Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is a. form OF indiges-
tion resulting from fermentation of the
food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest it, the food remains until
fermentation begins, filling the stomach
with gas, and n bitter, Sour, burning taste

ton soon becomes chronic, and being an
everyday occurrence is given but little
attention. Recause dyspepsia is not i'm.
mediately fatal, many people do nothing
for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
is now becoming rapidly used and pre-
scribed as radical cure for every form of
