OF the jail he could not possibly have known

Mr.. Chapman says in commenting on this
episode, that the published menus OF his own

very much exaggerated.

been published in my daily dinner The
fact OF the matter is, that I have steaks

story For various reasons, one in par

THE BIMEFALLIC ENJOYS
Frenchmen Mistake the Powers of
the American Commissioners.
Their Mission To Work Up Sentiment
misunderstood at Paris
Charged With Special Duties

Paris dispatch yesterday says that
the bimetaIlie messengers sent abroad by
Mckinley bear credentials designating
them asmi mister spfenfpotentiaryto France.
Great Britain and Germany, with the mis-
siOns in concert with the United States
ambassadors to those countries, to dis
cuss monetary condi tioRs and come tosome
agreement on bimetaIIism.''
TIE statement contains good deal of
misinformatioB- Senator woIeott, Gen
Paine and Mr. Stevenson, the commas
sioners referred TO, were sent abroad in
pursuance of an act OF Congress passed
just before Mckinley was inausurated.
This law provided for an appropriation
OF 100000 for salaries and expenses Of
delegates TO any monetary convention
appointed by the various governments OF
the world. and section two provided that
three ENJOYS might after March 4, be
appointed by the President to visit foreign
governments and use THEN efforts toward
arranging an inter national monetary
conference. These "enyoys" are IN no
sense charged with the making of any
agreement as to bimetaIlism" Their
only duty isto work UP seutinentin favor
or conference OF convention. For that
convention. IL one were arranged, these
euvoys would not be the delegates, and
there would be more than three OF them
appointed under the act.
No Importance is attached to the mission
of these ENJOYS, because, had Mckinley
wanted 20 Know whether OF not foreign
powers desired TO hold an International
monetary conference, the fact could be
ascertainedimmedateiy by sending a cable
message TO our foreign ministers residing
at their governments. The opposition OF
Great Britain to any scheme of interna-
tiOnal biinetallism is so well known to
the world that 1t would be folly TO send
messenger there to ascertain the fact.
The Law was passed for partisan use, and
the mission OF these ENJOYS is regarded as
little pretence of Mckinley at carrying
out tbe promise OF his party TO secure
what is known TO be impossible Like
protection and pIesperit " .inserna-
tional bimetallism'' is but chapter of
Mckinley mythology. 1ioeDs.aa

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.


Its Excessive Use.
Comm on soda is all right in it's place and
Indispensable in the Kitchen and for cock
ing and washing purposes, but it was never
intended for q medicine, and people wao
use IL AZ such will some day regretit.
We refer to che comm on use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with danger;
moreover the soda only gives temporary
relief and in the end the stomach trouble
gets worse and worse.
The soda acts al mechanical irritant To
the walls OF the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where it accumulated
in the fntestines, causing death by in
fammaton or peritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach fac.d dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by
druggists Under the name OF StGart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20

gestfve clements essentiaito good digestion
and when taken after meals they digest
the food perfectly and promptly before it
has time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases Of
stomach arrangements and finds them o
certain cure not only for stomach, but
by promptly dfgesting the food, they create
healthy appetite, Increase flesh and
strengthen theaction Of the heart and liver
They are not cathartic, but intended only

Divided POPulists.

There is serious division apparent
in the ranks of the Peoples party over
the proposition made by some of the
more advanced members of the organ
ization to abandon the silver issue,
which shipwrecked it's hopes in the last
campaign. This is, perhaps, hardly so
remarkable as might appear at the first
glance. Men who set up fetch are
always slow to perceive the clay in the
idol of their own construction, and in
asserting the purpose of the western
ers to adhere to the free coinage idea,
Mr.. ]. A. Edgerton, secretary of the
Populist national organization. is nat
ural and in character. The free coin
age idea came out of the west and its
fetch worshipers are joined to their
idols.
There were unmistakable signs of
the decadence of the silver idea before
the result of the election which showed
an overwhelming popular sentiment
against it. If the campaign of educa-
ton resulted in nothing else, it at least
made it apparent that there would be
nothing gained by putting the nation
upon a lower standard than those COM
mercial nations with which the Amer
lean people must do business, and
there would be much lost.

Stop the Imports.
New York Tribune.)


Congress could declare by shor
bill, which it should not take a week
to pass, that it was about to make a
general advance of duties in order to
raise an adequate revenue and to give
better protection to industries. and
therefore that all goods thereafter i'm
ported should be taken out OF custom
houses or warehouses only upon bond
to pay the additional duties when fixed
by Congress. BY this procedure the
coming determination of Congress as
to rates needed on particular goods
would 60 into practical effect at once,
and the evasion of expected duties by
anticipatOry imports would be avoided.
Imports for immediate sale. within the
two or three months possibly required
for the maturing and enactment of a
new tariff, would be no more embar-
raised than under the prevailing meth
cd while tariff bill is pending, while
imports for future distribution under
new duties when enacted would not be
embarrassed at all. The home markets
would be to a great extent secured to
American producers, and the demand
for American labor would at once be
stimulated.

It is instructive to notice the pains
taken by the London Economist to as
sure us that the low duties of the Will
son tariff have not injured American
industries. OF course the Economist
and other British thinkers are DESTROYS
that our industries shall not suher.
and are only DESTROYS that the Wilson
schedules should be continued for our
benef:. While the disinterestedness
of the Englishmen awakens our admit
ration, yet We fear they are hardly cap
able of feeling that intense sympathy
for US, and that earnest desire for our
material prosperity that We experience
for ourselves. We trust they Will not
object to our change of the method of
collecting duties from ad valOrem to
specific. because in the matter of WOOL
en- goods alone. reliable experts report
that by the undervaluations our gov
eminent is swindled out of twenty mill
lions of dollars year. 1t strikes US
this affects alike our industries and
our pockets; but We are thankful for
all the information our English friends
may give us, as to the construction of
our tariffs, in which, of course, they
can have no possible interest.

able to bimetallism, it is doubtful of
the concurrence by Germany in inter-
national action.
Mr.. Edmond D'Artois, assistant gen.
eral secretary of the French Bimetallic
league. says that International bimetal-
lism has made rapid strides in France
IN the past few years, and especially SO
among the agrarians. He closes his
statement by saying:
.Our hopes are to-day much greater
than in May, 1896, because we believe
in France that the American presiden-
tial election has resulted in revealing
to Europe generally, to England par
ticularly. the impasse into which gold
momometallism has lead the world.
The heated discussions which accom-
panied the now famous election in the
United States have shown conclustvely
that internationalists are far more
logical advocates of sound money than
cold monometallists are, because of the
stable par of exchange which they wish
to set up by international agreement
between two monetary standards OF the
world. silver will become again as
sound money as gold" He expresses
the opinion that France will be ready
and anxious to cooperate with the
limited States, the Latin union. and
Germany in favor of international BIZ
