POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Senator Cuilom was expected JACK IN
Washington Saturday, but he was della yea
on account of an important conference ~
Chicago, which is OF much moment TO the
Republican party, not only in Illinois, but
throughout the country. 1t contempiates

State, so as 10 ena bic the Republicans to
hold the legislature and elect that body
n-xt fall. Upon the resultof that election
depends the successor 10 Senator Cuiion,
and the Republican leaders fear that y
tney 90 rot rediStrict the State the Der:
oerats will carry il.
The Republicans carried the legisla t'ire
lest year on the wave that swept the
State fer Mckinley, and they do MT hcne
to be allie to repeat the performance
again, owing to tine discomfort that has
arisen in their party since that victory
An unsuccessful effort was made at tho
last session Of this legislat ture 10 reappor
ton tho State, but it failed, owing To Tie
impossbi.Ity OF conciliating the conflicting
interests Each member Of the Legislature
is a candidate FOR denomination aud ele'
tion, and ne one desired to be showed cut
ofhisown district. Gov. Tanner endeavore,l
to bring the discordant elements together,
hut failed, and now another and a final
effort is 10 be made.
Senator Mason has also gone West 20
attend the conference. Senator Cuiloln
is anxious 10 succeed himself, but whether
it is tn Je himself or some other Repub
licau, he is convinced there must be re
anportionment if the Republicans would

our Brevet Mayor

Alr. Theodore ". Noyes, the acting
editor Of our esteemed contemporary, the
Evening Star, las been chosen president
OF the Board OF Trade, a position equiva-
lent in rank and influence TO that Jf
Secretary OF the Exterior in Cabinet cir
eIes.
Mr.. N,yes has always taken an active
and some people have not scrnpled 20
say an impertinent-interest i'll public en-
terprises in which he has no financial
outlay e. be affected His range OF
scrutiny is almost unlimited, and his reti-
cence unrestricted. 1t is he, more than
any other man, who has assisted in bank
ruptng the lexington Street Railway line
by directing and maintaining d furious
crusade against the New York avenue
overhead trolley, which enabled the whole
line to be run profitanly, and TO admirably
serve a very large community. Never had
there been exhibited single instance OF
injury, but the Evening star, under Master
Noyes, decreed that it must go, and the
Commissioners weakly yielded. Result: a
loss of several hundred thousands TO its
stockholders, and benefits-to no single
person.
As hreyet mayor, Mr.. Noyes VIII have
the power 10 enforce to certain extent
the thoughts he thinks in the Star. He
Will, IN short, reform the city and District
in all directions and in every possible way
He Will have charters amended, suspended
snd abolished. Unpleasant enterprises In

have suppressed. The Avenue line of
street cars he has already AIKEN hold Of,
and the owners viii consider themselves
fortunate IL ht stops this side of confisca-
ton.
Mr. Noyes has never mad any expert
ence, and hence has no pre- judices. He is
a theorist and VIII not hesitate to try his
rancies OF anything he doesn own. Only
one thing viii Ee protest against outside
interference with OF criticism OF the Even
ing Star. Whoever intimates that that
institution isn't all right must meet in

body's business but his own.

As the time draws near for the meeting
or Congress interest begins TO center in
the recommendations which MI. Mckinley
VIII make in his message. Although he
has beer warned that the Gage plan o.
currency reform does not have the least
chance oc success in either House never
theless he VIII urge iU-at least as 20
some of its chief features. According TO
current report, he VIII recommend that

meta lists, who are proha bly, in the ma ioE
ity in the National Legislature, VIII look
upon this idea with much suspicion.
AS it has been ascertained that there
are half a dozen or more votes in the
Senate gninst any general treaty Of arbi-
tration with Great Britain, over and above
the humber necessary to defeat such
measure, 1t is possible that the President
may leave that matter alone, and work
around to it again by indirection through
q new scheme for q general commission
90 settle the fishery, boundary and other
disputes with Canada. But there ire ap-
pesrances that the direct scheme Is still
nursed hy the British government. 1t does
not appear ostensibly in the matter, but
Mr.. Crenler. al English member OF PaTlIa-
ncut, viii put in his winter in Washing
ton, in lobbying roE the project.
There are many directions in which the
desires and designs of Mr.. Mckinley bid
fair TO encounter opposition. Neither his
views ON finance, on arbitration nor on
Cnbs are likely TO meet with any very
friendly response. The frightfuI atrocities
IN the island ordered and daily committed
by Pando, Marshal Blanco's general in
the field, have already knocked the fonnda

conditions and Cessation of nnciynized
warfare.

Suffering DIPLOMATS.

II is not 2 pleasan thing ia be hard
up, and still less is it pleasant to be a
diplomat and hard up. The poor man,
with no jealous neighbors to fear and no
public opinion to crush him to the earth,
may munich his crust and drink his cold
water without feeling unhappy tat least
that is TIE theory but when ones posi-
tion demands point lace and diamonds,
point lace and diamonds one must have,
or suffer the pangs of dissolution without
the satisfaction of diSsGIvng. The diplo-
mat who is hard up cannot 90 out and
advertise for a place as clerk, even if he
We're able to fill it when he got it; he
cannot cut down his tailor's bill or swear
off on champagne; he must keep up style
for his own sake and that of his country.
That is the theory, as accepted by the
common people.
But two unhappy gentlemen who rep
ropean courts appear 10 have reached, 10
put il bluptly, the end Of their string. They
declare that their salaries have not been
paid for months, and that the glory oi

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING The RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles, ut least among Americans.
are certainly increasing and while this
may bc largely due to the excitement and
worry Of American business life. ii is more
often the result cf weak Stomachs, of poor
digestion
Real. organic heart disease is ineurable,
hut not one case in hundred Of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches Of the same
great nerves, the sympathetic and Pneu
mogastric.
III another way, also, the heart is af.
fccted hy that form of pourdigestion which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food; there is d feeling OF op-
preston and heaviness i'll the chest caused
by pressure of the distended storach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action: hence arises paipitdtion and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin ma watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is TO improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best he done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation. like
stuart's dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found at most drug stores and which cen
tain valuable. harmless digestive elements,
in a pleasant, convenient form.
