NOW FOR THE POsTMAsTERsHIP.
Knight and Russell Both Confident
Redmond Hard at Work.

The announcement Of Mr.. Morgan
Treats appointment to the marshalship
of this district has intensified the inter-
est in the race for the postmastership.
There is no Disgusting the fact that local
Republicans look for the appointment OF
Mr.. Wray #. Knight, while prominent
Democrats think the plum will fall 10
the lot Of Mr. Otis III. Russell, who was
postmaster under the last Harrison adj
ministration. Very little is said OF the
chances of Mr.. j. ]. Redmond.
A Republican who is close TO Judge
Waddill said yesterday that Mr.. Knight
would have the endorsement OF the
party-leaders In the State, and it Is he
lieved that this will carry him through.
Mr.. Russell has been hard at work In
Washington, and amongst the members
of the National Committee, and looks
with confidence for strength and endorse
ment from that quarter.
Mr.. j. J. Redmond has very extern
sively signed petition from prominent
citizens Of Richmond. but the humorous
suggestion of a recent Secretary OF the
Treasury who was overrun with office
seekers. that the various petitions Of
applicants should be weighed in the
balance. and the patronage given to the
one whose budget was the heaviest. VIII
hardly be established as precedent In
this case.

Trade Retaliation,

(New York Journal OF Commerce)
But Germany attacks the character OF
our products. She seeks not only to in
jure our trade with her people, but TO in
jure our trade with others by damaging
the reputation of our goods. The reason
for this is that the Reichstag contains
many low tariff men; the representatives
of cities and manufacturing centres siren
uously oppose legislation calculated to in
crease the price of food. But by alleging
that the food Is deleterious the desired
exclusion can be effected by ministerial
decree, and the police can be substituted
for the custom-house. Microbes were
found In our wheat. Our pork was de-
clared to be trichinous; II Is not nearly 80
open TO this charge as German pork Is,
and all the cases Of poisoning from tri-
chinae were traced to the eating OF raw
meat, and we believe all OF them 10 tho
eating of domestic meat: but the charge
OF trichinea was sufficient to bar Ameri-
can pork. wholly or in part, from Ger
many. German chemists In the employ
OF the police found traces OF zinc in
American dried apples. whereupon their
sale In several places was stopped, though
German chemists not In the employ
OF the police found our dried apples
wholesome. No sooner did American
horses begin 10 be imported into Germany
than the agricultural landowners de-
manded that the government should find
diseases In them and exclude them from
the country 10 protect native horses from
exposure to American contssion. Ameri-
can beef and cattle have been under
strong suspicion. The agricultural land
owners have been representing for some
time that our apples were poisoned by
insects, or by the spraying CT trees.
We certainly have a right TO object
strongly to this sort of attack upon our
products. This paper does not regard re-
taliation with much favor, but It is time
TO consider whether we ought not, In self
protection, TO exclude German wines and
many other things on the ground that
they are adulterated or unwholesome.
There is plenty OF German testimony TO
the sophistication Of Rhine wines. and
both France and Germany have been do
ing all they can TO damage the reputa-
ton OF our food products, and II is about
time that we resorted to some new
measures OF defence.

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE
INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND PERMA.
NENTLY CURED.
A New Discovery. But Not a Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an Interesting ac-
count Of what he considers a remarkable
cure OF acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery-Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was man who
had suffered, TO my knowledge. for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seem
ed to sour and create acid and gases In
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back shoulder-blades, and
limbs. fulness and distress after eating.
poor appetite, and loss Of flesh; the heart
became affected causing palpitation ana
sleeplessness at night.
gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but 10 no purpose. AS an
experiment, l finally bought a 50-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
a drugstore, and gave them TO him. AL
most immediate relief was given, and af-
ter he had used four boxes he was to all
appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings. no bloating after meals
the appetite was vigorous. and he has
gained between 10 and ~ pounds In
weight Of solid. healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drugstores. yet
/ consider them a most valuable addition
to any physicians line Of remedies, as
they are perfectly harmless. and can be
given to children or invalids or in any
condition of the stomach with perfect
safety, being harmless and containing
nothing but vegetable and fruit essences,
pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
without any question. they are the
safest most effective cure for indigestion,
biliousness. constipation. and all derange-
ments Of the stomach, however slight or
severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere at 80 cents for full
sized package.
