WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, July 27, 1897.


Neither Boss Hanna nor Mr. McKin-
ley are entirely satisfied with the work
of the extra session of congress Just
closed. The tariff bill pleased them all
right, it more than repaid their campaign
obligations to the trusts, not to mention
the S32, 900, 900 made by the Sugar trust
and its friends while the bill was pend
ing. But their efforts to repay their
campaign obligation to the banking
interests were failure. Mr.. Mckinley.
in his special message sent to congress
only Il few hours before adjournment.
asking for authority to appoint Il cur
rency commission, quoted the Indianap-
oils bankers convention as though it had
been the assembled financial wisdom Of
the world, but that didn't bring the lcgis-
lation asked for. The house railroaded
through in sixty minutes a bill granting
Mr.. Mckinley the authority asked for,
nearly every prominent Repub-
liean in that body is really opposed to a
currency commission, but the senate was
not SO accommo dating, and there is moth
ing in sight to indicate that it will be
more obliging next winter.

Senator Tellcr's arrai%nment of the
Republican tariff bill, now the law of
the land, was one Of the bitterest pills
the Republicans have had to swallow in
a long time. MIR. Teller, who is pro-
tectionist, characterized this bill as
vicious, unfair, eXtraYagant, and un-
satisfactory; and as having been framed
entirely in the interest of trusts and
syndicatcs Mr.. Teller also took occa-
sion to criticize in the strongest language
the gold standard policy Of forcing pro-
fessors out of educational institutions
because of their belief in the free coin
age of silver. He denounced the forced
resignation of President Andrews, Of
Brown university, as one of the most
shameful acts Of abascmont' the world
has seen, and sal in ringing tones:
Thank God that President Andrews
was big enough to refuse to be stilcd. -"

Secretary Sherman's departure before
the adjournment of congress for Long

additional proof that he has very little

to emphasize that very thing by his
going.

A pertinent question often accomp-

through authorizing that waste Of public
money, he was asked if the house could
get along while congress was in session
without these clerks, why they should
be considered necessary during the

the scheme.

PECULIAR
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of imperfect Digestion of
Food.

! ne kesuit OF imperfect Digestion OF
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of
certain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
PtomaInes) are usually the results of
imperfect digestion of food the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly ana thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result Is 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 palpltatiOn 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
n weak nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
| sol hoe lac g
stomach. Weak stOmachs fail to dl-
gest foods properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
(lactic and hydrOchlOric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of Indigestion, is
to take after each meal, one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply in a pleasant, harmless
form all the elements that weak stOm-
achs lack.
The regular use of StuarJ's Dyspep.
STA Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, bright eye and
clear complexion, because all these
result only from wholesome food well
digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at 90 cents full sized
package or by mail by enclosing price
to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich, but ask
your druggist first.

MONEY ON THE Oracle.
Captain Duncan Wright Offers Five Hundred
For a Race.

Odptdln duncan rlgnb UHerS five hundred
For Race
MThe approach of the Fourth of July,
the usual day of ocean races off this
coast, has started the periodical talk
of the merits of the various boats.
The fact that the pilot boat Oracle,
the never defeated champion of the
coast, has gone to Savannah to be
thoroughly overhauled, and that the
Frances Elizabeth, of Fernandins,
winner of the regatta of 1895 and gem
orally regarded as the Gracie's most
fUrmidabie rival, is on the ways in thIs
city, has brought forth che suggestion
that the two ocean flyers are prepar
ing for test of speed at an early date.
A TIMES man interviewed Capt. Dun
can Wright, controlling owner of the
Gracle, and the man who sailed her in
her many victorious races. He SAID
"'rhere is no special intention that [
know of to have "a race between the
Oracle and Frances Elizabeth. The
Oracle, however, is always ready to
try conclusions with any boat in her
class.
"In fact, said Captain Wright, "you
can issue this challenge through your
paper. | will deposit $500 IN cash as
a wager on the Oracle against any.
body else's $500 for race to occur at
any time, the course to be to Doboy
sea buoy and return, distance of 46
miles. This challenge Is open to any
pilot boat south of Norfolk, and the
Gracle will be found ready to maintain
her record when the money is put up :"
The Gracie's record of victories on
the ocean courses is very envIable
one and has been equalled by few
boats of her class. She was built with
a special eye to speed, and has left in
her wake the prize crafts of the south
Atlantic.
If apyIof the owners of the Gracle's
rival boats has high enough opinion
of his craft 70 put up $500 against
Captain Wright's similar amount we
Will have one of the greatest of races
ever seen off this coast.
