Blains Opposed a Duty on Hides.

The following letter from Secretary
uf State james G. Blaine III 1890 is
supposed TO have had great weight with
the ways aud means committee:
WasnlyGroS, April 10, 1890.
DEAR NIR. McKISLEY-It is u great mistake
TO take hides from Che free l. u, where they
have been for so many years. II : slap il
the face TO the South Americans with whom
we are trying to enlarge our 'radc. II VIII

q profit to tie butcher only, the last man that
needs il. The movement is iniUGicious from
beginning TO end, in every form and phase
PRAY Stop it before IT secs light. Such move
ments rs this for protection Will protect the
Republican party i~to speedy retirement
Yours hastily, JAMES y. BLAINE.
Hon. William Mckinley, Chairman Ways and
Means
Where is the Blaine this year who
can head off the westerners who want
their share Ct protection and foolishly
imagine that they can get it by duty
Oh hides: 1t is perfectly,consistent with
the protection system to tax hides, es-
pecially rs the bulk Of the tax would
probably 60 to few monopoly butch
ers aud ranchmen. But observe some OF
the effects upon our industries:
The importations of untazed hides
and skins last year We're valued at S2O.-
2l6,52S. The goatskins were valued at
$40, SO3,359. The former were mostly
converted into sole leather, beltirgs
and such like heavy material, for which
cur native hides are not thick enough.
The goat !;ins are not produced In this
country.
From this raw material we rot only
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for cur Gwn people cheaper and
better than they are made elsewhere in
the world, but we exported finished
products Of the value Of $50, 242, 756.
without free and cheap raw material
this export trade would have been i'm
possible, and our own people, as Mr..
Blaine pointed ont, would be compelled
TO pay more for their footwear. The
wages paid to our workers in leather
last year amounted to $50. 542, l66.

Supt. Pendergast Criticises Modern
EducatOrs.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, June 3
W. W. Pendergast, state superinten-
dent of public instruction, took heavy
fall out of scientific education while
addressing a meeting of the district
school trustees of Redwood county in
this city last week. He stated that the
trustees should see that the pupils got
a thorough business training, whereby
they could form a good, reliable judg-
ment, in preference to studying about
the mummies dug up in Africa or
Egyptian researches. He said that
pupils didn't have time to dig back
into the past with learned professors
and secure useless knowledge, but that
they should be trained to look and have
a good insight into the future. He
then referred to the teachers who
would insist on cramming pupils full
of nonsensical ideas to the extent Of
making the pupil memorize every little
thing he came across. Speaking Of
text books, Mr.. Pendergast stated
that there were 1000 school districts in
the state, of which about 5000 were
using free text books. He could not
say that the system was an unqualified
success, but he could say that from
reports received by him, in SO out Of
every 100 districts the books were re-
ported as being kept in good condition
by the pupils, and the fact of the book
being ready for the pupil from the
start assisted in pushing the pupil
along materially. He stated that the
cost was from one-third to one-quar-
ter less than under the old system.

The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal.
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of
disease and death Called by scientists
PtOmaineS), are usually the result Of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion Or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly
digest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak, and lacking in
red cOrpuscleS; poisoning the brain
causing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart.
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but
in weak nerves and muddy complexion.

EARNINGS INCREASING.
Outlook for Western Passenger Bus1-
ness Much BETTER.

CHICAGO. June 3-The general passenger
agents of the larger Western roads are feel
ing more hopeful than at any time during the
past year. For the first time in many months
the earnings Of their department have been
showing an increase over the same period of
last year. For a long time after the first of
the year the earnings fell behind, and finally
crawled up to the point where they were
equal with those Of last year. Now, however,
they have begun to go ahead, and with all
the summer business to come, the roads are
feeling very comfortable over the outlook.
The lines of the Central Passenger associa-
tion spent the greater portion Of the day in
discussing the formation of mileage ticket
bureau On the plan followed by the Western
roads. The method by which the roads of the
Western passenger committee have handled
their mileage tickets has not been sue
cess, and they have about determined to fol-
low the plan adopted a year ago by the
Western Passenger association, and which has
given the roads OF that organization such
great satisfaction. No decisive action was
taken today, although it has been definitely
decided to follow the plan Of the Western

POOLING BILL DEFERRED.
Action Postponed for One Week by
the Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The final consid-
Grafton of the railroad pooling bill was again
postponed by the senate committee on inter
state commerce today. Senator Chandler
moved a postponement until the 1st Of De-
cember but the motion was not voted on
and a compromise was agreed upon postpon-
ing the measure until the next weekly meet
ing. In presenting his motion Senator Chan
dler read a written statement signed by him
self and Senator Tillman, giving their reasons
for seeking the consideration of the bill de-
layed. Among the reasons urged was the gen
eral understanding that the tariff only was to
receive attention at the present session; also
the necessity for various Investigations by the
committee and for careful scrutiny of the
recent supreme court decisions bearing upon
interstate commerce questions which would
now be impossible. They suggested the i'm
pOrtance of an investigation of the issuance
of the free passes by the railroad companies
to accomplish their purposes as a violation
of the existing law and of the probable effect
of pooling contracts upon the wages of labor.
