1t is curious coincidence that the
legal right 10 Reinstatement OF a dis
charged government employe, under the
rules OF the civil service, was decided
in two different sections of the country
att he same time. and in the same way.
one case was tried before Judge jenkins
Of the Federal Court at Milwaukee. and
the other before Judge Cox. in the city
OF Washington. Both these eminent jur-
lists followed exactly the same line OF
reasoning. and arrived at the same con-
clnsion, namely. that the civil service
law does not provide for the making OF
rules by the president which shall have
the effect of law and be enforced by the
courts. The president has the right 10
make rules for the government Of his sub
ordinates, and thus bring the civil SER
vice into general harmony with his own
purposes and will, but he alone can en-
force them. No employe OF the govern
ment acquires a vested right TO his en-
ployment under them. and If he has any
complaint to make because his superior
has violated them that complaint must be
made to the president and not TO a court
OF law or equity. These decisions appear
to be so clearly founded on right reason
that IN all probability they will not be
appealed 1t must be taken as settled. |
therefore, that if a government officer
sees ht to discharge a subordinate. no
matter how firmly he may be entrenched /
by the civil service law. there IS no rem
edy short of obtaining the interference
OF the president.

tinplate industry dates practically from
the passage OF the Mckinley tariff act.
at which time the American market was
wholly supplied by South Wales, Mr.
oBeirne traces the gradual expansion OF
the industry in this country, and the use
OF the domestic article in place OF that
formerly imported from Wales. summing
UP the situation for the last calendar
year, he says Tho position OF the Brit
ish export trade may thus be summed
up, The Interior market was, as whole
lost TO British exporters, hut the meat
packers continued to use certain NUM-
Der Of drawback plates, and there was
SIN limited consumption OF British
plates for certain special purposes, Tn.
der existing rates OF duty, therefore,
the report proceeds, 'and az present
prices the only section OF ,he American
market in which British plates Of orli-
nary grades exclusive OF drawback
platesl can continue In the long run 10
compete is the Pacific coast marke;. rep
resenting an annual consumption OF abou,
socOaOoO pounds, In other portions OF
the United States the only importa tions
that can he expected Is OF limited num-
ber OF special brands suited for special
purposes. And this limited importation

There should be no misunderstanding
concerning the status of the monetary
commission. There is apparently an at
tempt being made in certain quarters to
destroy its prestige and impede its work
by alleging that 1t is assuming congress
sional powers and thar IL intends to dc
tate policy Of reform TO the administra-
tion and to congress. Nothing can be
further from the fact. 1t is simply an
advisory body, the outcome Of the In
dianapolis convention, brought together
for the purpose OF formulating in a prac-
tical shape the resolutions Of that con-
vention. For thirty years the people Of
this country have been carrying on busi-
ness under a financial system that is both
complex and dangerous. As often point
ed out, we have nine different kinds OF
money, or what passes for money, and
with the exception of gold It all depends
on the government credit. This is a con-
slant menace TO national insolvency, for
If the government at any time should fail
to redeem its notes in gold our whole
financial structure would topple over like
a house Of cards, and widespread ruin
would be the result. The great business
interests Of the country feel this, and it
was this feeling that prompted the In
dianapolls convention, one Of the most
representative bodies Of business men
that ever assembled in this country.
The commission will study and discuss
the present monetary condition Of the
country, viii receive suggestions and ar
guments from all quarters, and will then
draw up report enbodying a plan TO
simplify our system Of currency and
banking. Whatever measures are pro-
posed by that report will be neither rad
ical nor revolutionary. Knowing what
the evils are, the commission will suggest
the remedy. After this is done the re-
spOnsibility for action will lie with con-
gress.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
a Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.

This may read as though we were put.
ting it a little strong because Il is gen
orally thought by the majority Of peo.
| pie that dyspepsia in its chronic form
is incurable. or practically so. But We
have long since shown that dyspepsia
is durable, nor is it such a difficult
matter as 1t first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics Is that
they are contin,Ally dieting. starving
themselves, or going 10 opposite *
tremes or else deluging the already
over burdened stomach With ''bitters
after dinner pills" ETC., which .nyar-
ably increase the difficulty even II in
some cases they DO give a slight tenn
Orary relief. Such treatment os the
stomach simply makes matters worse.
What the stomach wants is rest Vow
how can the stomach become rested. re.
euperated and at the same time the body
nourished and sustained.
This is the great secret and this Is
also the secret Of the uniform success Of
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is q
comparatively new remedy. hut rtz sue.
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as to
its merits.
The tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless Of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia according
to directions is 10 eat an abundance Of
good, wholesome food and use the tablets
before and after each meal and the re-
suit will be that the food will be di-
geste1 no matter how bad your dyspepsia
may be. because as before stated. the
tablets will digest the food even II the
stomach is wholly inactive. To illus
trate our meaning plainly, If you take
! 500 grains Of eat, eggs or ordinary fool
and place it in a temperature Of IS de-
grees, and put with It one Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. it will digest the meat
or eggs almost as perfectly as If the
meat was enclosed within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever SO weak yet
these tablets will perform the work Of
digestion and the body and brain will
be properly nourishe1 and at the same
time a radical, lasting cure Of dyspepsia
will be made. because the much-abuseJ
stomach will be given, TO some extent,
a much-needed rest. Your druggist will
tell you that Of the many remedies adver-
tised to cure dyspepsia none Of them has
given SO complete ard general satisfac-
ton as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, an
not least in importance in these hard
times is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for the
least money.

THE OBJECTION NOT GOOD.

There are people who have objections
TO advertising matter In the columns OF
a newspaper. The ground OF objection
Is that they do not want to read ad-
yertIsements. Now this objection is not
good for oftentimes these advertise
ments convey valuable Information.
For instance, how else would the trav-
cling public learn of the excellent din
