The Fruits to Eat.

Prunes afford the highest nerve or

be avoided by those who suffer from

The great majority of small fresh
seed fruits are laxative.
All stone fruits are considered to be
Injurious for those who suffer from the
liver, and should be used cautiously.
Apples supply the higher nerve and

Oranges are refreshing and feeling,

Lemons and tomatoes should not be
used daily In cold weather; they have

The Ohio Elections.

While the elections in Ohio Monday
were purely OF local character, In
many instances in the large cities po-
lltlcal lines were tightly drawn, and
the Republicans of our near neigh
Dor are to be congratulated on the daci-
sIve victories they have won, They are
notable especially in Cleveland and Gin
cinnati, where the straight Republican
tickets were opposed by fusion and
Democratic tickets. In the guberna-
torial election Golden Rule Jones
played smash in Cuyahoga county,
which he carried against Nash by n
very comfortable plurality. on Mon
day the Republicans swept everything,
by majoriries ranging, from 5000 to
10000 showing beyond question that
the party has gathered itself together
again.
InCinclnuati the same conditions pre-
vailed-the Republican ticket being OPP
posed by fusion and Democratic COM
blnatIons. In that city, which gave
n ueClu2p IuuIl.lty III NANAAStaAA isis'
fall, the Republicans succeeded in re-
verslng the figures. The same may be
said Of Toledo and Columbus, and les
ser cities. 1t Is most gratifying
showing Of the real strength OF Repub-
llcan sentiment in Ohio, which has
never faltarcd in presidential years, and
we are sure that among the pleased
people none will be more gratfed with
the result than President Mckinley. As
the Cleveland Leader very pcrtinntiy
says:
"The effect OF this election upon the
result in Ohio next fall cannot be over
estimated. 1t is now certain that Re-
publican victory will follow in the au-
tumn, and that Ohio viii stand by tha
national administration by a rousing
majority. Il was good days work"

The Case of DR.. Kills.

Our Presbyterian brethren seem to
be following in troublous lines these
times. The ministers OF that faith are
passing through stage of unrest, and
some of them have bolted from the
orthodox creed of the church. First
we had Rev. Dr. Briggs, who is now an
ordained Episcopal clergyman, and the
other day Prof. McGiffert withdrew
from the Presbyterian communion,
and is now affiliated with the Congre-
Satlonalists. Perhaps the heaviest
blow to the church comes from the
Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, who is
now occupying the pulpit once filled by
the celebrated Henry Ward Beecher.
Rev. Hills offense against Prcsbyter-
iapism Is very grave one. 1t con-
sisted Of an attack on one OF the strong
est tenets OF the church. but one which
has always been rcpulsive to liberal
minded men-the doctrine OF predcstin-
ation-ln sermon he delivered from
the Plymouth church pulpit on March
"a. In the course OF that sermon he
said:
"The day the scholastics wrote that
chapter in The Confession OF Faith they
got the devil confused with God.
would rather shake my fist in the face
OF the Eternal. and fling every vile cpl
tibet toward His stainless throne, where
Eternal Mercy sits with the worlds
atonlng Saviour. than lift my hand with
that creed toward Gods throne and
affirm tina. I taught or believed it."
In another part OF his sermon DIR. Hill
lis sald THE Confession OF Faith Gays
that certain men and angels are foreor-
dnlncd to everlasting death, being par
tIcularly and unchangeably designed,
ana their number is so certain and def
mite that 1t cannot be either increased
or diminished and every young man
who enters ;hc Presbyterian church has
to solcmnly swear and teach this
frlghtful view. Every attempt to revise
and expel that statement from tho
creed has been combattad by n major
ity thnt wishes to retain the doctrine.
II would seem MS though man would
prefer to b. burned At the stake rather
than assert or hold or charge such in

In passing the Puerto Rico tariff bin
yesterday the Republicans did the only
thing they could do under the circum-
stances. Th4 Democrats would have
hailed with Joy any recession on TIE
part Of the Republican party with re-
gard to the active principles Of tie

numerous victories at the polls rs

DRY of the Democracy. Time will shoY
the wisdom OF the action Of the senate
yesterday, and the operations OF the
bill will justify those who have sup
ported the measure against the mIsled
element OF their own party.
The trusts have been figuring in the
matter with a cupidity that has hood
winked the public. They have been
outwardly and extensively in favor Of
the bill, hoping to turn public sentiment,
which is against them, against the
measure, and thereby establish free
trade with Puerto Rico, which would
solely benefit them.
