RODRIGUEZ'S LETTER
Which Formed the Basis of Senator
Morgan's Remarks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The docu-
ment which formed the basis of Senator
Morgan's remarks in the senate on the
Nicaraguan Canal bill today was a COM
munication from Senior J. d. Rodriguez
minister of the Greater Republic of
Central America. 1t was a typewrit-
ten paper of several pages, dated at the
Greater Republic legation headquarters
in this city, Jan 15 1897. It was pre-
santed to the senate by Senator Sher-
man as chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, having been forward
ed to him by Secretary Olney.
Senor Rodriguez opens the commune
cation by saying that "as several bills
relative to the construction of an inter
oceanic canal through Nicaragua have
been for some time pending before both
houses of congress. his government re-

FOR rHH BABY.
A valuable Hint to Bverv Father and
Mother.


There are two kinds of babies in the world;
the kind who have too little nourishment
aud the kind who have too much.
The first kind of babies starve because
their stomachs are too weak to digest the
amount of food necessary for their growth
aud hcalthml development aud the other
kind are overfcd with the result that the
delicate stomach and intestines are nhsmed
and as every mother knows thousands of in.
fants die yearly when warm weather begins,
from stomach and bowel disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrurs add catharties
however mild. are not what is demanded
Go to the root of the trouble, assist the
childs digestion, give tho little stomach the
cid necessary to thoroughly and promptly
digest its food aud the little one will thrive
aud grow aud GLADDEN. the mothers heart.
To give perfect digestion to the child it is
only necessary to give IN pleasant form the
harmless digestives contained in the well
known tablets sold in drug stores under the
aamo of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart's
Tablets contain no so called drugs but are
composed of popsin, pure aseptic, fruit acids,
starch digestives and are put up in lozenge
form, with sugar of milk, very pleasant to
the taste and have been used for years as the
safest, best remedy for any form Of indiges-
ton and stomach troubles in adults, but
recently many remarkable cures have been
made in the cases of weakly babies who
failed to grow and thrive as they should.
| A Buffalo mother a short time ago who
| despaired of the life of her babe was so de-
lighted with the results from giving the
child these tablets that she went before the
notary public of Erie Co., N. Y, and made
the following affidavit;

The Governors Good Work.

Governor Hastings is now enjoy
ing a well earned rest, having been
instrumental in blocking a species of
corruption by the free use of the veto
axe. The readers of the HERALD
know that we have not always been
able to agree with His Excellency in
dealing with questions of party
policy and other matters demanding
executive consideration, but we are
candid enough to admit that Cover
nor Hastings has displayed good
Judgment in the exercise of his pre-
rOgative in passing upon the at
tempted raids upon the treasury, and
and at the same time did the state a
great service.
Commenting upon the action of
the Governor, the North American
Says:
I'm cutting down the outrageous
charges of committees Of investiga-
tion, and in razeeing the enormous
fees of the persons employed to un-
seat one man and seat another, he
has saved many thousand dollars.
The plea that such practices have
been allowed from time immemorial
is the plea of the robber. 1t is com
Portable also to know that sergeants-
alarms have not been able to draw
money twice for the same service.
As the work OF the Legislature issues
from under the pruning shears Of the
Governor, it compares very well with
the best results of the work of that
body, Had there been no discretion
lodged with the Executive, the Re
publican party would have gone into
the campaign handicapped and on
it's defence. When a party is put on
it's defence it is never far from a close
shave, if not defeat.
In vetoing this iniquitous legisla-
tion, and cutting down the enormous
"expense" bills, the Governor has
done no more than his plain duty,
but at the same time he has rendered
the people Of Pennsylvania sub
stantial service for which they viii
not fail to give him credit
Plundering the state treasury in
the sacred name of charity was one
OF the new species Of corruption
which the Governor had to deal with,
and it is now a matter of history that
he was equal to the occasion States

kind can never hope for reelection il
