THEY RIDIcULE 1T
Many People RIdicuie the Idea of an Abso
IIte Cure for Dyspepsia aud Stomach
troubles.
RidicuIe, However, is Not Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
| IN many cases SO obstinate TO cure that
people are apt 20 look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming TO be a radi-
cal, permanent cure for dyspepsia and in
| digestion. Many such pride themselves
| on their acuteness in never being hum
plugged, especially 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 claims of
a preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

vastly different in one important respect

ABOUT BETTER TIMES.

The wage earners of the country, the
factory operator, the miner and artisan
everywhere, must be convinced, by this
time, of the benefits arising from a Re
publican policy. They have only to
compare their own present improved
chances and the difference in conditions
generally from what they were one and
two years ago TO be satisfied of the wide
difference between free trade theories
and protective practice. We note that
in the dispatches of but yesterday that
twenty-five thousand mill hands in
Providence, Rhode Island, and adjacent
towns, have received an increase of 20
per cent in wages. This is but one OF
numerous such announcements made
within the past three months and COM
ing from every section Of the country,
especially from the manufacturing ami
mining states. The prosperity of these
means an ultimate advantage to the
producing states. A dispatch but the
other day announced hat the BesSemer.
the Carbon and other limestone conf
panies of the Mahoning valley in Ohio
had increased the wages of their work
men 70 per cent The Missouri Pacific
system only this week announced like
increase for all its thousands of en-
ployes along all its lines. The same
cheering news comes from the Michigan
iron region and its workers. and from
the Pennsylvania Iron company. Thus
thousands Of men have been helped and
their chances bettered within few
days. Prices and values also are alike
on the upgrade throughout the west
ern or producing states. There IS no
mista6ing the meaning OF these reports.

nies that conditions are improving and
the times growing better Is either dun

CONGRESS TOMORROW.

While the business interests Of the
country would, unque.stiOnably, be bet
ter content did congress hold but one
session in years, or but a short session
once in two years, there is little consola-
ton in the reflection that the present
cOngT.sS promises to be one for business
and that the coming session will prove
more Of a relief than of a burden. The
present house demonstrated the war
rant for this assumption in that at the
extra session it absolutely refused 10
engage in all-around buncombe leglsla-
ton, and confined itself 10 the matter
for which it had been assembled. Its
Pop contingent howled and its Demo-
cratic element grumbled, but Reed,
with Republican majority at his back,
stood as firm as a rock. SO while the
evil has grown to be a necessity and in
evitable, the assurance that there is 10
be no fooEshness, and a final adjourn
ment in the early summer months, will
be hailed with pleasure by everybody,
save those who gain their livelihood by
politics
General Bingham Of Pennsylvania,
chairman of one of the most important
subcommittee on appropriations, and
VINO has spent lifetime in congress, Is
already at work on the legislative, eX-
ecuive and judicial appropriation bills,
with an eye 10 cutting down expenses.
The truth is that there must be re-
trenchment or otherwise an increase of
the revenues. Chairman Bingham pub
hcly announces that his committee has
resolved against further extravaganza
and that Speaker Reed and majority
Of the house will make good the resolve.
The country demands more rigid econo-
my, and it is encouraging TO be assured
that the incoming congress will stick TO
business rules and methods. Chairman
BiIgham's talk indicates that the
men who must help shape the appropri-
alton legislation realize the condition in
which the national finances must neces-
sarily be cramped until the new pro-
tective tariff law has become fully op-
erative. The country is slowly but sure
ly recovering from the panic and de-
preston which marked the last Demo
cratic administration with its deficits
and bond sales. 1t will take time to re-

the most favorable conditions, but ii

KANSAS IN TWO DISTRICTS.

The Leavenworth lines is of the opin-
ion that there is no demand for making
two federal judicial districts of the
state OF Kansas. While not prepared
10 prove that the conclusion is a mistak
IN one, we are ready to show that if it
is correct there is a great wrong, pro-
,ific of hardships, existing somewhere.
The federal court at Wichita has al
ways been away behind with its bust
ness. Not in years has the Kansas
Judge occupied the bench here with
single brief exception. The district
Judges from Wyoming, Nebraska and
Arkansas. in the interims of their own
courts. have come here for the purpose
Of ,hSposing of the criminal and other
cases which could not be postponed.
Judge Williams of Arkansas has held
several terms, crowding the work day
and night, for weeks at a time, In the
laudable effort 10 clear up the docket.

been cut into two judicial districts long
since, ten years ago, but for local strifes
and the political interests of public
men. Several bills have been inroduc-
ed for that purpose, one or two Of them
practically receiving the endorsement
Of the Judiciary committees of the SEN
ATE and house respectively. But in each
instance the measures were pigeon
noied in the interest of individual ambi-
ton or that of some political combina-
ton The business Of the federal court
at this point has always been behind,
and there ought to be an additional dis
trict judge. Orotherwise a different pro-
gram adopted. We are inclined to the
opinion that it would be both wisdom
and economy, besides serving the de-
mands of justice, TO divide the state into
two districts, a natural division being
by an east and west line, making a
north and south district, with three /
courts for each district. f

10 the evidence but takes no part in the
deliberations and has no voice in the
verdict unless required 10 take the place
of one of the jurors sitting In the regu-
lar panel who may become incapacitat-
ed by sickness, death or natural disa-
bility Had such a law been in force In
New York, second trial of Thorn, the
alleged murderer of Guldensuppe,
would have been unnecessary. This in
cident will be offered as an argument
for other states adopting the same law.
1t is. however, an expensive law, the
need of which California has not felt as
has New York. As precaution against
juror becoming i'll and causing an
other re-trial all the talesman in the
late Thorn action were asked regarding
their health and the chances of standing
