Singer DenOunces Every
thing and Everybody.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 23.-The Rev. Sam
Jones, the evangelist, who announced
himself a candidate for governor Satur-
day, publishes his platform, which, Ia
part, follows:
I would not lug into this campaign
goldbugism and silver diggery and the
tariff issue, for the governor of Georgia
and the state house officials have no
more to do with the enactment or non
enactment of laws on that question
with the oranges of Florida. am sick
and tired of the average little polite
ian tracking around over the state
preaching gOldbugism or champiOning
silver diggery. which he uses as a blind
fold to hide from the eyes of the people
his own inefficiency for the office he
proposes to fill, or to raise an enthus-
iaSm on a question about which he him
self has views that he couldn't sell for
ten cents a dozen in any intellectual
market.
Lets pen up the jackasses for
while in the back lot and trot out some
thoroughbreds. If I am a candidate
100 times, I shall speak from the plat
form as I speak from the pulpit, de-
nouncing wrong and championiug right.

TO JOIN THE POPULISTS.
National Liberty Party About to Sur
render Its Organize ton.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. ga national
conference of the leaders of the Liberty
party meets in this city today. The
conference will take the first step to-
wards an afiliation with the PopuIist
party. At a preliminary conference
yesterday, executive officers were chos-
en- for the meeting as follows:
Chairman, R. S. Thomas, of Spring
field; secretary, F. A. Naille, of Colwin,
Pa. Representatives are already here
from ten states and it is expected that
as many more states will be represent
ed
At present the movement for an af-
filiation of two parties affects only
Ohio, but it is expected that the move
ment will become a national one
through the action of this conference.
At the meeting of the state committee
of the National Liberty party of Ohio,
last December, a proposition was re-
Populists for a coalition and it was de-
cided at that time in furtherance of the
proposition that the state conventions
of the parties should be held in the
same city at the same time. 1t is
claimed that the only point upon which
the National Liberty party and the
''AIiddle-of-the-road" Populists differ
are equal suffrage and prohibition and
it is believed that the sentiment of a
majority OF the Pcpulists on these ques-
lions is SO near in accord with the Ma
tiona1 Liberty party platform that the
two parties can eventually be united.
Some of the leaders are hoDeft1l that
this step viii ultimately bring about an
utilization of all reform parties.

The floor of the hotel office and din

flames can be easily checked.
The finishing of the rooms is of a
very fine character The lower rooms

DANGER TIT SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's
Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
and Indispensable in the Kitchen and fer
cooking and washing purposes but it
was never intended for a medicine, and
people who use it for such VIII some
day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, q
habit which thousand of people practice
almost daily, and one which is fraught
with danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and in the end
the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical frritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where il accu-
mulated in the intestines, causing death
by Inflammation or peritonitls.
DR. Har1andson recommends as the
safest and purest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of StEart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lozenSeS, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ura1 acids, peptones and digestive ele-
ments essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before it has
time to fernesnt, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he Invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in ali
cases of stomach arrangements ana
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digestt1s
the food they create healthy appetite,

ton of the heart and liver. Iney are
not cathartic. but intended only Tor

will be found reliable in any stomach

HER POUND OF FLESH.
Terms of the English Loan to China
Made Public.

London, Feb. 23.-The foreign office has
issued the following statement:
Following are the arrangements in the
interest of British trade which have been
agreed to by the Chinese government on
the representations of Sir Claude Macdon-
aid, British minister at Pekin: The in
ternal highways of China are to be open
ed to British and other ships in the course
of June next. Thus, wherever the use of
native boats is now permitted by treaty
foreigners will be equally allowed to en-
ploy steamers or steam launches, whether
owned by them by the Chinese.
I'm view of the great Importance at
tached by Great Britain to the retention
of Yangtse region in Chinese possession,
the Chinese government has formally init
mated to the British government that
there can be no question of the territory
in the valley or region of the Yangtse
being mortgaged, leased or ceded to any
power.
1.-The post of inspector general of mari
time in the future, as in the past, shall
be held by a British subject 50 long as
British trade at the ports of China con-
tinues to exceed that of any other power:
A port will be opened in the province OF
HUMAN within two years.
