RULERS OF THE WORLD.

lest Euting Nations Are the Lea6

Achievement.
The ruling nations Of the world
are meat eaters and history records
that they always have been.
Vegetarians and food crankS
may explain this in any way they
choose hut the facts remain that the
Americans, English. French, Rus
slams and Germans are meat eat
ing nations, and they are also the
most energetic and most progress
sive.
The principal food of the heroic
Boer soldier known as Biltong, is
a sort of dried beef. affording
great deal of noursihment in a
highly concentrated form.
The weak races of people are
the rice eating Chinese, Hindoos,
and Siame5e, regarded since the
dawn OF history as non-progressiye,
supersGtious and inferior physical
ly and mentally to the meat eat
ing nations who dominate them.
The structure of the teeth plain
~ indicates that human beings
should subsist upon a variety OF
food, meat, fruit and grains, and
It Is unhygienic to combine ones
diet to any one of those classes to
the exclusion OF another.
Meat is the most concentrated
and most easily digested OF foods,
but our manner of living is often
80 unnatural that the digestive or
gans refuse to properly digest
meat, eggs, and similar nutritious
and wholesome food, but it is not
because such food is unwholesome,
but the real reason is that the sto-
mach lacks, from disease or weak
ness, some necessary digestive ele-
ment;; hence arising indigestion
and later on, chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty
of meat, conyalescents should make
meat the principal food, hard
working people have to do so and
brain workers and Office men
should eat, not so much meat but
at least once a day and to insure
its perfect digestion one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should
be taken after each meal, because
they supply the peptones, diastase
and fruit acids, lacking in every
case of stomach trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh of
stomach, gastritis, sour stomach,
gas and acidity are only different
names for digestion, the failure to
digest wholesome food, and the use
of Stuart's Tablets cures them all
because by affording perfect diges-
ton the stomach has chance to
rest and recover its natural tone
and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
real household medicine; it is as
safe and pleasant for the stomach
ache of the baby as it is for the
imperfect digestion of its grand
sire.
They are not cathartic, but a
digestive and no pill habit can ever
follow their use; the only habit
lStuart's Tablets induce is the habit
of good digestion and consequently
good health.

testimony of Speaker Stiff, of the Mon

Of timber lands to Mr.. Clark, just be-

that he made the sale through Mr.

Ringwalt told Of a conversation which
he had had with Mr. Whiteside before
the meeting of the Legislature, in which
the latter had told him that there was
to be a big sensation in connection with
Mr.. Clark's senatorial race, and that
$4,000 would be spent in it. During
the day the letter from Mr. Bickford
which was opened in Mr.. Campbells

declined to go into correlative questions
bearing upon the legislative elections
in Montana in 1899.

Good News,

The management of the Bellaire
Steel Company have surely eclipsed all
records for hustling of any plant in
the valley. Manager A. B. Carter has
notified the employees that the steel
works will resume Thursday morning
and the bar mill probably Thursday
evening. On the day following the fire
Manager Carter stated that he would
have the plant in operation in week
or ten days, and while many doubted
him he has proven his word good. A
new electric plant was built in the bar
mill department and a large force OF
men were at work day and night. The
generators and other machinery soon
arrived, foundations for same were
soon built, and the machinery placed
in position. And now it is to be seen
that what was thought to be impos-
sible Mr. Carter has made a reality.
The many workmen will be glad of
this news and with them the business
men.

FEEL HE PULSE

In a recent issue the Dover Della
warean made the statement that in his
bid for the United States senatorship at
the hands Of Governor Tunnel. Will
lard Salisbury, Jr., had the support Of
Judge Gray's old following in the
Democratic party. We question the
truth OF that assertion. We feel justi-
fed in saying that Governor Tunnel
received two letters in favor OF Former
Attorney General John Biggs to every
one he received in favor Of Willard
Salisbury, Jr., and that they were a
different kind of letters-not the work
Of an overtaxed typewriter, but genu-
inc letters from the date line down.
It may be true that Former Register
of Wills J. Wilkins Cooch gave Mr.
Salisbury letter early in the game,
but no doubt by this time he is sorry
that he did it, for many OF his friends
have criticised the act. even when they
know that Mr.. Salisbury is supporting
Mr.. Cooch in his efforts to obtain the
gubernatorial nomination. We can
say that, as a rule, the friends OF Judge
Gray are not identified with the sauls-
bury movement. and neither are the
friends Of the late Chancellor James l.
Wolcott. One man is on the bench, and
the other is in his grave, but they have
friends who are in politics and who
have no desire to assist in the rehabili
tation Of the old Salisbury faction b,
sending one OF its members to tn,
United States Senate.
II the Dover Delawarean wants I,
test the truth Of these statements le
1t go out in the field and inquire Of tn
Gray men and the Wolcott men whsrl
they stand in this contest II It make
the canvass and publishes the resul

SOP cLUmsILY THROWN

II you give an Addicksite enough
rope he will hang himself every time.
Here is an editorial from the Smyrna
Times the mouthpiece and defender OF
Representative in Congress John II.
Hoffecker:
AT meeting OF the East Side Re
publican Club, held in Wilmington
last week, the speaker, William s.
Hilles, said briefly. after reviewing a
number Of issues, 'as to the senatorial
question, it will be time to take that
up when the Legislature meets. d
From a Republican point of view ii
would seem that a politician, with such
good sense and breadth as Mr.. Hille.
manifests. would be a proper one him
self to fill the Office, provided he ha,
the gifts otherwise to dignity the po
sition.
We refer the editor Of the Smyrna
Times to the journal Of proceedings o
the joint Assembly OF last year. Tn
Addicks men had repeated opportunit,
to vote for Mr.. Hilles with the Ropub
licans who placed him in nomination

CAN TEL PusHERs 10 STOP

These ares ONE of the many reasons
why we recognize the ability OF Will
lard Salisbury, and desire to see him
honored by his party. We know that
for years he has given his time and
his means to the party's success with
out stint. And now that his friends de-
sire him to accept a position OF honor
which we feel he will truly honor, you
will find that the solid sentiment of
the party workers who for years have
borne the heaviest of the fight will be
with him.-Dover Delawarean.
Mr.. Salisbury no doubt feels II a
great sacrifice to accede to the desires
Of his friends. Meanwhile the Dover
Delawarean has not publicly measured
the energetic work which County
Chairman Patrick Neary and a host OF
other party workers" are doing for Mr.
Salisbury. Neither has it told us
where Mr. Neary stands in the contest;
nor has it printed a few words in
praise of Mr.. Biggs. OF course, il Mr.
Salisbury does not feel like giving his
time and his means" and sacrificing hi.
personal comfort and convenience, Mr.
Neary and many others will excuse
him. He can tell the "pushers" to stoI

September $4,000 bales more than
their maximum consumption for a
year, and they find the market for
goods not encouraging.
Bradstreet's has this to say regard
ing trade conditions:
Perhaps the most favorable report
for the week as to distributiye trade
comes from the grocery business, In
which the sharp advance in refined SUI
gar, due, it Is claimed. to the enhanced
price OF the raw material. and not to
any settlement OF the trade war, has
stimulated demand in other lines, not
ably coffee, which is also higher on the
week. Advices from the dry goods
trade are Of backward demand at retail,
affecting orders in many lines, but cot
ton goods production Is still heavily
sold ahead and a marked decline in
raw material will have to occur before
much effect is exercised upon finished
products. Wool is weaker and manu-
facturers are still holding of. The
boot and shoe market Is dull, with
manufacturers firm, but with jobbers
asking for lower prices. Lumber is, on
the whole, weaker, partly owing to the
unsettled conditions in the building
trade and partly to the feeling that
prices have been pushed too high and
this feeling is likewise true OF a num-
Der Of other lines.
Low water in the streams In the
Northwest will unquestionably limit
the output OF white pine this season.
In the iron and steel the deadlock
still continues, buyers and sellers being
apart, while the drift OF values, where
business Is actually accomplished, Is
toward a lower range.

LET HIM READ up

Has the editor OF the Dover State
Sentinel ever read the argument and
evidence submitted to the Republican
National Convention in the Delaware
delegate contest in st. Louis in 1896. II
not, we respectfully refer him to page
C6 OF that paper. IL states that In 1896
the Kent county caucus named Harry
A. Richardson for governor; the Sus-
sex caucus named Henry p. Cannon for
representative in Congress. This was
done under the party usage that the
delegates TO the State Convention from
a county should be allowed to choose
the candidate which the county is en-
titled TO- These nominations were rau-
fed by the unanimous vote OF the State
Convention. When the election was
held both Richardson and Cannon
were defeated. Robert ]. Reynolds,
Democrat, had a plurality OF less than
500 votes.
Three persons OF integrity and char
acter have made affidavit that in April
1892. Mr.. Addicks told them that he
elected Robert ]. Reynolds by placing
$4,000 in the hands OF James l.. VOL
colt. saying to them:

RESORT TO MISREPRESENTATION

For the benefit Of the members Of
the Board Of Trade of Wilmington, we
reprint the following dispatch from
Washington:
Senator Penrose was greatly in
consed when shown a clipping from a
Philadelphia paper in which he was
represented as saying that the adverse
influence Of The Dun and Bradstreet
commercial agencies had KILLED" the
bill introduced by him in the Senate,
providing for an appropriation Of
100000 to enable the Philadelphia
Museums to complete its collection of
commercial specimens, and that he had
now but slight hope OF favorable ac-
ton upon it.
Senator Penrose was very indignant
to hnd that representatives Of the Dun
and Dradstreet agencies had rasorted
to the publication OF such a misrepre-
sentation OF his views, in their des-
perato efforts to create an unfavorable
sentiment towards a measure which is
regarded all over the county as being
most beneficial and most effectively
conducive to the extension of our for
eign trade.
The senator says that the bill, far
from being Killed." is most thorough
ly alive, and that the prospects for its
passage at this session of Congress are
particularly bright. and that the only
possibility Of its failure may lie in its
being crowded out in these last days of
the session by more pressing govern
mental measures.
And to think that our Board Of
Trade permitted itself to be made part
and parcel OF the mercantile agencies
scheme to kill this beneflcent bill.
