one proposition: How is your diges-

One person in three of US have in
digestion in some form or another
1t is not really a disease but a con-
dition. A condition which may be-
come serious.
We all wish to become strong and
we might all become so if we digest
ed our food. The loss of your strength
is a serious matter. 1t may be the
beginning of dangerous disease. 1t
may mean that you cannot go on with
your work.

all the symptoms of acute dyspepsia,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. June j. 1897.
The outlook for the speedy pas
sage Of the tariff bill daily grows
brighter, and well-in formed sem
ators are now predicting that it
will become a law by the 10th of
July. This week the republicans
formally bound themselves in
CAUCUS to vote as a unit, which
they have been doing under an
informal agreement, upon all
schedules of the bill, and as they
are getting votes right along
from both populists and demo-
Gratis it looks like plain sailing
| for the rest of the schedules and
for the completed bill. Talk
with senator's and representatives
indicates that much less time will
be required to agree on the
amendments in conference than
has been generally allotted to
that portion of the work.
1t is evident that President
Mckinley has no idea of hurrying
himselfi in announcing any change
of policy towards Cuba. He re-
ceived the report Of Consul Cen
eral Lee, and that of Mr..
Calhoun, on the Ruiz investiga-
ton, before he left for the
Nashville exposition, but the
only announcement officially made
before his departure was that
ex-Gov. Jacob d. Cox, of Ohio,
had been asked to go to Spain as
U. S. minister and that he had
the request under advisement. 1t
is generally understood among the
friends Of the administration that
the first move in the new Cuban
policy will be made by our new
minister to Spain. AS it will be
a month or more before a minister
can be nominated, confirmed, and
get to Spain, it is Just as well for
/ the Cuban enthusiasts to cultivate
patience.
/ Senator Allen told the demo-
cratic senator's after six of them
had voted for a duty on cotton
that they had apparently aban-
doned their party tenets and
adopted the plan of every man
| for himself aud the devil take the
| hindmost, and Senator Chiffon
answered by reminding him that
a popullst Senator---Jones, of Ne
vada---was acting with the repub-
Ilican members of the finance
Icomnittee. Then Senator Stew
| art remarked that he endorsed
the action of his colleague on the
tariff, and that they both intended
| to secure for their state the same
benefits that were to be given tc
other sections. That is about
the feeling that caused Senators
Bacon and Clay of Ga, Tillmar
and McLaurin of S. c., atid
McEuery of La, to vote for q
protective tariff on raw cotton
against the wishes of their party
leaders, but as Utah raises ne
