THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia and
Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, is Not Argument,
and Facts are stubborn Things.

ana Facts are STUBBORN lnlHSs'
Stomach troubles are so common and
In many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be raul-
eal permanent cure for dyspepsia anu
Indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never De
Ing humbugged, especially on medi-
zines.
This fear Of being humbugged may
be carried too far; so far, in tact' that
many persons suffer for years win
weak digestion rather than risk a little
time and money in faithfully testing
the claims of a preparation so rellanie
and universally used as Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary meol-
cines for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret Is
made of their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastic and nux. They are

erfully on any organ, but they cure IN
digestion on the common sense plan OF
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore 1t has had time to ferment, sour
and cause the mischief. This is the
only secret Of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely upon the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af-
ter meals, digest the food. That is al
there is to it. Food not digested OF
half digested is poison. as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation Of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are oft
en- called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at 50 cents per package. Ad

BRYAN STILL IN THE SADDLE.

Hon. w. j. Bryan in statement to
the Associated Press says the last cleo i.
ton returns, taken as whole, are very
encouraging. The Republicans every
where, he says, endorsed McKinley's adj
mtnistration, and in view of the losses
sustained by them in almost every State
it is evident that there is "A healthy
growth of the sentiment in favor of the
Chicago platform throughout the coun-
try.
The failure of the attempt to secure
international bimetallism makes il more
apparent than ever that the people of the
United States must legislate for them
selves on the financial question, with the
free and unlimited coinage of silver mt
the ratio of 16 to l nearer than 1t was a
year ago. High tariff upon gold basis
disappointed those Republicans who
looked to it for relief. and the Nebraska
statesman believes he voices the silver
sentiment of the country when he says
the fight along that line will be con-
tinued with even more earnestness until
'hS l,OAu hiOhOpoiJ lS DrOkeu anu the
money trusts overthrown The fusion
forces have increased their majority in
Nebraska, and the Republicans appear to
be losing ground all over the country.
This view Of the situation is not too
sanguine when we consider the result of
the recent voting in Greater New York
and in ether cities and States of the
Union. Republican majorities of twelve
months ago have been substantially re-
duced, and in some places completely
wiped out. Kentucky has returned to
the Democratic fold, and Maryland
would have done so as fully and as e # ct-
ually but for the opposition of the people
to one-man power as represented by
Senator German
In the meantime the same forces that
polled such heavy vote fol- Mr.. Bryan
as nominee for President in 1896 are
still az loyal to the great Nebraskan as
they were year ago. and that he may be
counted as dangerous opponent to the
Republican candidate for the same office
IN 1900 there is no reason to doubt.

a PROMOTER OF PATRIOTISM.

Going home to vote when fellow has
fat office in ashington is not only
patriotic, but pleasant.
President Mckinley went home to Can
ton, Ohio, to cast his balloS last Tuesday,
and, until he saw no chance of re-elec.
ton, President Cleveland was regular
worshipper at the shrine of the ballot in
New York. While we are not much in
favor of civil service reform, we still
think n man holding good federal posi-
ton ought to be grateful enough to vote
his party ticket regularly as long
as he is in office, even if he has
sometimes to travel quite distance to
do so. In fact, holding high positions
under the general government is we'll
calculated to make man love his whole
country. Some of the most patriotic
men, in national sense, that we have
read of since the late war were southern
men appointed to places in the Cabinets
and other places of honor and emoIu
ment by Northern Presidents. The plan
is such good one on general principles
that if it had been more extensively fol.
lowed by Presidents of the United States
since the close of hostilities the country
would have been pacifcated long before
it was.
