THEY RIDICULE 1T,
Many People RidicuIe the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia and
stomach Troubles.
RidicuIe, However, Is Not Argument,
and Fats Are stubborn Things.


Stomach toubles are so common and in
many casesso obstinate to cure that peo-
pie are apt 70 look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many ch'pride themselves on their
acuteness in never being humbugged, es-
pecially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak di-
gestion rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the Gains OF
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine, no secret is made of their
ingredients, but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aSepuc PepSln, the digestive acids,
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydras-
tbs and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any or
gan, but they cure indigestion on the com
mon sense plan of digesting the food eat
en- thoroughly before it has time to fer
ment, sour and cause the mischief. This
Is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
70 IT. Food not digested or half digested
is poison as it creates gas, acidty, head
aches. palpitation of the heart loss of
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.

GOV. RUSSELL'S "MESSAGE.o -

Governor Russell was duly in
augurated chief executive of North
Carolina on Tuesday, the first Re
publican Governor the State has
had since Gov. Brogden retired
twenty years ago, and Gov. Vance
succeeded him. The latter opened
his memorable inaugural on that
occasion with these words: ''There
is retribution in history" And
now comes Russell, like the mouse
playing in the shadow of the dead
lion, and opens his address with
the same words -''There is retri-
button in history - Well, what
if there is
1t is natural that the Republi-
cans should feel unusually re-
joiced over their victory and, that
Gov. Russell should exult in the
executive, but if he attempts to
pose as the instrument of retribu-
ton in the hands of destiny, he
will find that there is a greater
truth running through the ages
than the one with which he opens
his inaugural, and that is ellis
tory repeats itself. "
But the ARGUS has no chip on
it's shoulder nor beam in its eye
in confronting Gov. Russell or
reading his inaugural. 1t is a
strong, forceful, aggressive docu-
ment, abounding in wholesome
recommendations for the public
veal that should receive the cor
dial appreciation they deserve
from every public spirited citizen,
no matter to what party he may
belong. He talks like statesman
and a patriot, and his rhetoric and
law are faultless. He gives nc
uncertain sound on any public
question. He says that sthe tax
payers of towns must be protected
against the danger of misrule by
propertyless and ignorant ele-
ments !" He favors the Univer.
sity, disparages the late lease OF
the N. e. r. r. to the Southern
Railway Company, speaks strong
| ly against "lynch law" and stands
for the people against the en-
croachments and impositions OF
strong corporations.
In conclusion he felicitates th'
State upon breaking away from
the ssSolid South'' and returning
to the s'Union,'' meaning thereb.
the Republican party. But Gov
Russell forgets or ignores the fac
that he hold his Office by virtue o
a combination between Populist
and Republicans that does no
mean that patriotism and Democ
racy are dead in North Carolina
History repeats itself and wher
Vance once stood another Demo
crat will stand.

The Religion Of Our Presidents
To the Editor of the Sun

IL ldc LuIlOI VI TIE 0uu
Sir:-In an article, the most
interesting paragraph of which
was quoted in the Sun of Monday,
the Sentinel, of indianapolis. said
that Mckinley will be the third
Methodist President of the United
States, eight of his predecessors
having been Episcopalians, six
Presbyterians, two Unitarians,
one Christian, and one free
thinker.
The Sentinel is usually an accu-
rate paper, but it has fallen into
some mistakes in this matter. Mr..
Mckinley will not be the third
Methodist President of the United
States; he is the fourth Methodist,
and, in fact, all the Presidents in
office from 1861 to 1881 were
Methodists, during what was per-
haps the most eventful period of
the nations history. Gen Gar
field was a member of the Church
of the Disciples. Gen. Harrison
and Cleveland are both Presby-
terians. Gen. Arthur, like the
early Presidents, with very few
exceptions, was the son of a Bap-
tist minister, but himself was
classed as an Episcopalian. The
Adamses were Congregationalists.
jackson, Polk, and Buchanan
were Presbyterians. Martin Van
Buren was a member of the Re-
formed Dutch Church. There has
never been, SO far as | know, a
Baptist President of the United
States, though the Baptists of this
country are numerous and pub
lic-splrited body of citizens. There
has never been a Lutheran Presi-
dent. and there never has been,
and probably will never be, a
Catholic or Jewish President. In
Difference to the crowded con.
dition of the columns of the Sun
with interesting information, ac-
curate news and philosophical dis
sertations, refrain from any al
lusion to the religious or irreligi-
Gus views of Thomas Jefferson.
