EDITOR PAYNE's REJo1NDER.

EDITOR PAYNE'S REJOINDER.
Editor Payne, of the Nevada Repre-
sentative, who is one of the lieutenants
in charge of the Cummins campaign,
still thinks that the T.-R. is in error in
its guess as to the status of the sem
atorial controversy. In reply to our
estimate of last Saturday the Repre-
sentative says:
THE T.-R. republishes its list of as
signed counties. giving Gear 81 votes
and Cummins 30, with a dozen doubt
fuls unassigned, and challenges us to
show the errors. To do so would SIM
ply be to pit our own Information
against the T.-R.'s with respect to men
who would Undoubtedly refuse to fur
nish either of us with evidence that
would satisfy the public: and the T.-R.
knows that such controversy would
be profitless. We believe that the t.
RS statement of the situation is made
in absolute good faith and is in most
cases fair and correct. but that in quite
a number of cases it is utterly at fault
and that these cases are sufficiently
numerous to vitiate all the differences
that would naturally be drawn, and
that further, these errors are due to
lack of familiarity with the status in
The several legislative districts"
We are glad that Brother Payne
gives us credit for absolute good faith,
for one endowed with ordinary sense
and possessed of a reasonable amount
of information, judging from that
standpoint. can be expected to come
about as near to a correct guess as any
one However. time will tell, and we
are confident that our estimate will
survive the test. We would like TO see
Editor Paynes honest alignment OF
counties. though, as the Des Moines
pronunciamentos have been too pre-
posterous to deserve notice.

4 SCHOOL FOR SERVANTS.

The problem of securing an adequate

GOVERNOR SHAW AT ST. LOUIS.
Governor Shaw fell into a nest of old
style democrats and populists in attend
ing the st. Louis anti-trust convention
those of the typical kind who swing
bludgeons at hydra headed monsters
that exist most painfully in populistic
imaginations. His address was appar-
character of the talk he had listened TO
before rising TO express his opinions;
and it shows him TO be master of keen,
satire in uncovering the diverse effect
of trust legislation in the states repre-
sented by governors in this convention.
He said he felt sure he was politician
enough to draft law that would drive
out all trusts. yet he admitted he was
not statesman enough TO draft a bill
which would compel their everlasting
exit providing they are determined to
stay. The purpose 10 be accomplished
is that of making a wise discrimination
in order to rout out the guilty and not
harm legitimate enterprises-to so aim
as ito hit if it be deer and miss il it
be a calf" One of his best shots was
that in which he said: The remedy
suggested by implication in the two
speeches in the forenoon session, that
of the repeal of all tariff provisions and
through the free coinage of silver,
would in my opinion effectually break
the back of every trust in the United
States. 1t would accomplish this much
in the same way that the fire in wheat
field temporarily destroys the Canada
thistles, but l have learned from obser-
walton that these pests viii spring up
again as soon as the conditions are ia
vorable to the growth of another crop OF

A SCIENTIFIC REPORT ON COFFEE.
Shows it Can Be Used by Some. and is a
Poison 10 Others.

y gentleman connected with The
NcWherry Library, Chicago, has gon,
very carefully through the medical de
partment, consulting and compiling
from the best works of this country
and abroad on the value of coffee.
There is abundance Of evidence to
show that in some cases coffee, used
as stimulant is of advantage. while
with many human systems, ii is "a de-
cided poison which will build up
chronic conditions Of disease if made
use of steadily.
The investigator writes: we have
used for years your Postum Food
Coffee and found nothing to fill its
place" Among his quotations appears
the following:
"One Of the highest authorities in
Materia Medica and Therapeutics in
England says: Caffeine, which is the
stimulating part Of coffee. is, in gen
eral terms. q stimulant first, ana sub
sequently 4 paralyZant to the nerve
centers i'll the cerebelum. medulla and
spinal cord.
"In small doses it quickens the ac-
tivty Of the heart and raises arterial
tension. Larger doses often over

causing great heaviness Of the head.
flashes Of light before the eyes, in
somnia. restlessness. and even delirium.
Administered in sufficient quantity. It
would doubtless prove fatal to man
ITO thousands Of people. coffee. of
which caffeine is its chemical struc-
ture, is therefore a poison. Languor
restiessness and prOstration follow as
a result in the system when the habit
of it's continuance is acquired. This is
followed by muscular tremor and
sometimes dizziness. with nervous
dyspepsia and insomnia: in fact, q
train of depressing ais frequently not
traceable to the beverage which never
inebriates. but it is reality the source"
The gentleman concludes his long
and very interesting paper on the sub
iect with the statement. Companies
similar to that of the Postum Cereal
Co. Ltd, of Battle Creek, are to be
multiplied and stand as benefactors Of
the race. Whatever our personal
preferences, let US not class these
changes in dietary to peculiar views
and theories. but rather as generally
recognized and accepted truths, valu-
able acquisition Of progress and in
vestigation, scientific and philan-
thropic."
The rapid pace lived by American
brain-Workers has forced them to seek
food and drink that quickly and sure
ly rebuild the exhausted energies. and
such people as a rule feel the disas-
trous effects of a continued use Of
coffee. Vt is to furnish this class of
people with correct food and drink
selected and manufactured in the most
scientific manner. that Postum Cereal
Food Coffee and Grape Nuts have been
placed on the market All first-class
grocers furnish these.
