TO BE Committed to Memory by All Dys.
peptics, Invalids, Consumptives.
What is the first cause of nine tenths
of all diseases?
Imperfect digestion of food.
Why does imperfect digestion cause
disease of other organs?
Because blood, nerves, muscles, bone
are derived from the food we eat and di.
gest. If digestion is perfect the blood
is pure, nerves and muscles strong, flesh
firm. II the digestion is poor, fhe blood
is supplied from halt digested, ferment.
ing food, irritating every nerve and or.
gan. The result is, sooner or later, or
ganid disease, because every organ being
poorly nourished the weakest gives way
first and we have liver trouble, kidney
complaints, heart disease or consump D.
ton.
Is not dieting the usual and best treat
ment to cure indigestion?
No because the dyspeptic has been
starving long enough; wlat is needed is
abundant nourishment. not the lack OF
il. The stomach and blood demand
nutriment, not bran crackers.
What is the best method of cure?
Plenty of wholesome food well di.
gested.
But how can weak stomach digest
plenty of wholesome food?
meal certsin harmless remedies which
are known to digest food and thus nour-
ish the blood and rest the weak stom'
ach.
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer
ments, pure pepsin, Golden Seal and
fruit salts. All Of these are now com
bined In the form of pleasant tasting
tablets sold by druggists under the name
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
Are these tablets superior to the
various liquid preparations so called dys-
pepsia cures?
Most decidedly, because all liquid
medicines become stale with age and lose
whatever good qualities they may have
had originally, while the tablet retains
its properties indefinitely. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be carried in the
pocket, always at hand ready for use
when travelling or at daily occupation.
They cost but 90 cents and should be
kept In every family. They keep the
digestion perfect and save doctors bills
by warding of disease,
Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapt.
ed to all forms of dyspepsia?
Yes, because in all cases the trouble
results from indigested, fermented food.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cause the
food to be digested before II has time to
ferment.

WHAT THE PRESS SAY.

The press generally seem to think the
President shrinks from facing the re.
sponsibiity. The New York papers on
Wednesday, the 9th, talk thus:
World-President Mckinley is facing
the responsibility of executing "the
is, indeed, an awful responsibility, one
which may well oppress human being
endowed with sensitive conscience.
But il that natural weakness is leading
him to shrink and shirk, let HIM turn
and contemplate the awful responsibility
of not executing those judgments that
'are true and righteous altogether" or
of dallying with his duty until the day
has past Tor ending the inevitable war
With one swift, powerful, mercitul stroke
Press-As to the removal of United
States consuls and United States citizens
from Cuba, there is this to be said:
There is no reason why the President
should not submit his message and why
congress should not act upon it immedi.
ately, whether or not Americans have
meantime withdrawn from Cuba"
Not only American citizens In private,
but American citizens in the consular
service, will be absolutely safe under the
protection of the British consulate. Let
the United States perform its duty with.
out delay.
Herald-The die will be cast today.
We must be one with the President. He
will be strong only as the nation is
united. He is at the helm. We mast
follow him until the storm goes down.
In this war we are one with the Presi-
dent.
Sun-Whether today's message from
the President speaks or issilent concern
ing the lost battleship and its dead, the
report of the Sampson board OF inquiry
continues to speak to every American
heart, and never louder than today.
The crime of February Is will not
down. IL cannot he dismissed as mere
incident, or postponed as non-essential
factor The wreck in the Havana har.
bor and the graves of our murdered men
cannot be shut out of sight. They are
part OF the case against Spain, and, in
the opinion Of perhaps a majority of
Americans, the principal count in the
terrible indictment.
This is a Maine day in congress.
Every day is a Maine day until the
course we shall pursue with regard to
Spain is definitely and finally deter
mined.

An acute critic calls attention to
what he styles an inelegance in lead
Ing article of The Pilot. 1t is that in
which the following sentence occurs
And Paul said But l was born SO. /"
We are sorry it is inelegant, but it must
stand as it is, for it happens to be the
exact words of the New Testament,
chapter xxi, verse 2S, of the Acts of the
Apostles. The Pilot never tries to i'm.
prove upon the language of holy writ
Some afternoon when we have reformed
all the wrongs in the world and point
ed out all tho faults of all our neighbors
for their reformation we may sit down
and revise the New Testament, but it
will not be this year nor next year.
Somewhere along about 1898 we shall
inaugurate these important reforms. -

and government is the following official
telegram published by the Spanish min
lister, Dupuy De LONE, dated Jan. 22,
1898, and signed by Senior Congosto, the
secretary of the Spanish government in
Cuba. 1t is as follows:
"'HAvANA, Jan. 81.
General Castellanos has taken pos
session of the village of Esperanza, in
the Sierra de Cubitas, where the insur-
gent government had its headquarters.
During the stubborn resistance
made by the insurgents the government
officials escaped.
1.-THE next day, continuing his 5per-
alton, the same general defeated a body
OF $500 insurgents who were coming to
the aid of the government, scattering
them in all directions and killing 80.

The naval bill passed by the house ap,
propriates over $50 600, ,OOO-or about
IS. 100000 more than the largest annual
appropriation made for the naval ser,
vice since the civil war ended. Three
new Dattleships are provided for and
twenty-four torpedo boats. The cost
price OF steel armor has been fixed al
500 per ton, which will be accepted by
the makers, thus insuring the speedy
completion of the three battleships now
awaiting their steel armor. This appro,
priation, large though il be, is hardly
beyond the requirements of the service
these times.

COSTLY EXECUTIONS.

Bills For Killing Criminals That wers
Formerly Paid In Holland.
Edam, in Holland, where the Dutch
cheese comes from, has a museum of
local antiquities, and among the not
least interesting Of the exhibits are the
accounts of the municipal executioners
during the eighteenth century, says the
London Chronicle. One Of these funC-
tionaries, by name Yogel, presents a de.
tailed bill dated Dec. 10, 1918, in which
he sets forth claim for forms for
one decapitation and forms each for a
sword and winding Sheet with forins
4 cents for coffin for the decapitated
one. His charge for hanging criminal
was also 6 florins, with the further ad.
dition of forms for "cutting down
and impaling ditto. Breaking man
on the wheel was costlier luxury
and ran to 8 FORMS while for Supply
ing nine new lashes for scourge" the
charge was ~ forms.
On the whole however, Mr.. Vogel
was a moderate man in his charges or
the value of human life went up good
deal in the next 80 years, for in the NO
less circumstantial accounts of Johannes
ka, presented Aug. /, 1764, we have O
charge of Il forms for going on board
the Hans and preparing instruments Of
torture, " with like charge for "tor-
turing one person. But this must have
been for the lesser torture only, as on
Aug, 80 the same Johannes sends in a
bill for "torturing three persons at 10
tlorins a head'-total, 225 forins,
while few days later no less than coo
forins is charged for changing -four
persons at l50 florins Zach, " and fol-
"fogging two persons and burning q
third" he exaots $50 forms. Clearly
considerations of economy, if not of hu.
manity, must have tended toward the
reform of the criminal code in Holland,

WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK.

A week ago 1t was, "wait till Monday
or Tuesday of next week." Then the
message was sgreed on and had been
approved by the cabinet, and it would
be sent to congress on Wednesday at
noon, Public expectation on Wednes.
day, the 9th, was on tiptoe, but no
message came, and the word was the
message was held back because 1t might
endanger American consuls and Ameri-
can citizens in Cuba; and before the
message should be sent to congress con-
suls and citizens in Cuba should have
an opportunity to get away. From all
accounts there is danger of outbreaks;
so writes Consul General Lee, and
others, if statements are to be relied on.
The fact is there are so many contra.
dictory statements and excuses one
hardly knows what is true and what
false. 1t would seem the President is in
a wabbly condition, and has been for a
long time. He ought to understand
the American people are not "infrm Of
purpose" If their executive is. 1t may
be he is firm of purpose not given out
for the public eye at Washington.
The ministers Of the six leading ma
tions OF Europe called in body upon
President Mckinley, and through Mr..
Pauncefote, the British minister as
spokesman, hoped there would be no
war between Spain and the United
States. The President responded in
the same diplomatic vein. A thought
ful American on reading this incident
might wonder IL any of those six govern.
men,s would have waited as we have, 80
sweet and tamely, if one of its ships had
been so treated. We do not believe
any of them would have delayed as our
government has. 1t is simply contemp.
tible; and gives color to the charge that
holders of Cuban bonds are welding an
untoward and improper influence. All
good citizens deprecate war, but the
Maine incident was war, of the worst
and meanest kind, and there should be
prompt reckoning for all such rascslly
outrages, A government should main
tain, at all times and under all circum.
stances the honor, and good name and
fame Of its people. AS Andrew Jackson
said: "Demand and concede what is
right, and submit not to wrong"
Has our government been doing this
Are the powers that be doing it now?
This idea of peace with Spain on any
other terms than submission on the
part of the Cubans is mere pretense
Spain is not constituted that way. as al
her history shows. But this is the Span
ish sop our American people are being
fed on. If there is not golden in
fiuence in this pie, some folks are mis-
taken. Our people may know more
when there are more developments.
The word is that members of congress
are indignant and feel that they have
been deceived. They think the Presi
dent is playing them false in order tt
gain time, and they are suspicious of the
Lee telegram that claims the message
would put Americans in danger. In
short they think it is only trick tc
gain time and accommodate gang of in,
famous stock gamblers.

A SONG oF LIBERTY.

Across the land-from stand to strand
Loud ring the bugle notes,
And freedoms smile from isle to isle,
Like freedoms banner floats.
The velvet wales sing "LibertyW
To answering skies serene;
The mountains sloping to the sea,
Wave all their flags of green.
The rivers, rushing to the deep
The joyful notes prolong,
And all their waves in glory leap
To that immortal song!
One song of liberty and life
That was, and is to be,
Till tyrant flags are trampled rags,
And all the world is free.
1t rises, and the echo comes
From chained and troubled isles,
And roars, like oceans thunder drums,
Where glad Columbia smiles.
Where, throned and great she sits in state,
Beneath her flag of stars,
Her heroes blood, the sacred flood
That crimsoned all its bars
Hail to our country! Strong she stands,
Nor fear the war drums beat;
The sword of freedom in her hand
The tyrant at her feet!

Which may never be given TO the
American people, contains 1000 words,
we we're told, and while the President
therein took ground in favor Of inter.
vention, he did not favor recognition of
Cuban independence.
Congress being somewhat murtinous
on his hands, the President wants every
thing left to him, and thereby his
coterie, Mr.. Hanna being the chief
mogul. The set want congress to ad-
ourn without action, and this delay
means that.
Well, we will see II the American con.
gress will tamely submit to this ground
and lofty tumbling and sham. The
question seems to be, whether the stock
gamblers in Cuban bonds shall control
things at Washington. The policy is to
continue dilly. dallying in order to pro.
crastinate. and so tire out congress tina,
they will adjourn and 60 home and thus
give the President and his set full swing.
A few so.called peace senators, Hanna
one of them, want adjournment, and
hence palaver and dilly-dally to con-
sumo time; but such influential Republic
cans as Senators Davis, Frye, Foraker
and others are violently opposed to all
this sham and nonsense. And cool con
servative senators like Mitchell, Of Wis
consin, and Hoar, MoIill and some
others now speak with fierce and fash
ing eyes of the destruction of the
Maine, when on peaceful mission, and
under the protection Of Spain. Peace
with Spain is more deadly than war
1t is said that even Senator Allison, oI
Iowa, always calm aud gentle, has grave
doubts whether the country will support
the President in his policy of inaction
negotiation and delay. 1t is said Vice.
President Hobart does not think the
senate would agree to intervention with
out recognizing the independence Of
Cuba, and has so told the President and
that "there is grave danger that the Re-
publican party will split on this issue"
1t would seem that the President has
reached the parting point, and thai
there is likely to be dead lock between
him and congress, Senator Lodge, oi
Massachusetts,, says he will stake his
whole political future on the wisdom oi
quick and resoute action. The President
raised high expectations by his prom
ises. Congress gave him sixty hours, as
he requested, saying he would ask
nothing more and that "if by next Fri
day (April y have rot secured the
freedom of Cuba, shall ask congress tc
make her free"
Nothing came of the two days thus
gained and it was on that Friday Spair
sent an insulting response.
The President then asked and got two
days more in which he prepared hismes
sage, and then asked another delay o
two days, ending on the 9Th, Wednes
day of this week. All this while remem
ber, negotiations had been broken off-by
Spain!
After all this delay and promising th'
President is still unprepared to act, anC
is not willing to have congress take th'
Spanish bull by the horns. He ha
promised in four days more to decide
upon his vigorous policy.

Some gentlemen, members of congress,
are much troubled over the three or -four
hundred millions of Spanish bonds for
which the revenues from Cuba are
pledged. The holders of these bonds
no doubt got them cheap, and specula'
tors and stock jobbers must run their
chance. Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic
leader of the house, takes the position
that neither the United States nor Cuba
could poss bly, be held liable for the
Spanish bonis for which Cuba's reve.
nues we're pledged as security.
THE security disappears" said he,
"but the obligation ofspain remains. A
people cannot be mortgaged," Inter
vention and recognition by the United
States government would in no way
make us liable; and it is likely this will
be the course which congress will
pursue.
