Aooop DEAL OF NONSENSE.

About "BIood Purifiers" and "TonIcs."
Every drop of blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue in the body can be
renewed in but one way, and that is,
from wholesome food properly di-
gested. There is no other way, and
the idea that medicine in itself can
purify the blood or supply new it's
sues and strong nerves is ridiculous
and on par with the fol-de-rol that
dyspepsia or indigestion is a germ
disease or that other faIlacy, that a
weak stomach which refuses to digest
and inflaming the bowels with pills
and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas and
bloating after meals, because they
furnish the digestive principles which
weak stomachs lack, and unless the
deficiency of pepsin and diastase is
supplied it is useless to attempt to
cure stomach trouble by the use of
s'tonics,' pills" and "cathartics''
which have absolutely no digestive
power, and their only effect is to give
a temporary stimulation.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs and SINH
lar foods and experiments have shown
that they will do this in glass bot
tie at proper temperature. but of
course are much more effective in the
stomach.
There is probably no remedy so
universally used as Stuart's Tablets,
because it is not ONLY the sick and
ailing, but well people who use them
at every meal to insure perfect di-
gestion and assimilation of Lthe food.
People who enjoy fair health take
Stuart's Tablets as regularly as they
take their meals, because they want
to keep well, prevention is always bet
ter than cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets do both; they prevent indiges-
ton and they remove it where it ex-
lists. The regular use of one or two
of them after meals will demonstrate
their merit and efficiency better than
any other argument.

Probably the most ridiculous Of the
recent queer utterances of the Old
Freak of Fourteenth street anent
city politics is her assertion that in
six years the Republicans effected a
net reduction Of the city debt Of
s2f4,04417."
The sly Old Girl is careful not to re-
veal the fact that the Republican ring
was FORCED, much against its Will,
TO make these payments.
She conceals the whole meat in the
cocoa1ut, that If the Republican ring
and her Old Ladyship had had their
way a refunding ordinance long ago
would have been adopted and hardly a
dollar of this city debt paid.
1t requires a brassy cheek in the
Ancient Dame at this time of her life
to give credit 10 the late Republican
ring for payments on the city debt
which during two refundlng ordinance
campaigns she and the Republican
rlngsters holly contended should NOT
be paid for at least ten years hence.
The city debt would not have been
reduced by any sum during the rule of
the ring had not the Register single
handed but backed by the people,
fought the Republican ring and its
organist and twice defeated the refund
ing scheme.

PROSPERITY VS.. RELIGION.

Prosperity is a mighty good thins
and a mighty powerful thing. Even
the mere assertion that the g. o. p.
rather than Divine Providence is re-
sponsible for all the prosperity in this
world has served to keep the grand old
party OF buneo alive when in the course
OF evolution it should have been i'll the
political boneyard a generation ago
But prosperity-the real thing
seems to have is drawbacks when con-
sidered from the ehurch-going point of
view. In New lork City during the
hot spell the Protestant churches were
practically deserted the entire attend.
ance at all of them not exceeding 1000
on any Sunday The explanation OF
fered is that Astounding prosperity has
permitted the church going population
to 20 to seaside or country resorts, and
that even. those who are not able to
make an extended visit manage at
least TO spend Sunday out of town.
1t is the uptown or weather. con-
gregations that find religious devotion
irksome in hot weather and a contem-
porary pertinently remarks that -Ef So
could we'll afford TO support increased
missionary effort among thos2 who do
not leave town at all in the hot
weather Viewed in this light. pros
perity' should increase. rather than de
crease church-g going. 1t is to be feared
that it is misapplied prosperity that
has emptled the New York church pews
Prosperity that was more thoughtful
of those who need prosperity and the
influences of religion most might have
produced more encouraging results, 50
far as summer church-going is con
cerned."

Democratic deficiencies" in the past
results in a most remarkable showing
in favor of Democratic economy and
business-like management OF city
affairs. Where one dollar was carried

istration ten dollars have since been

The $50 900 compromise .oan. part OF

came so great that the books up at the
city hall were actually c.osed to news
paper reporters excepting those Of the
Ancient Ring Organist, who could be
relied on not to disclose the figures 10
the public.
Investigation shows that Democratic
rule in Wheeling in the past has been
as remarkable for economy and bust
ness-like management as the succeed
ing rule of the Republican city ring was
notorious for corruption, extravaganza
and genera, loossness and incompe-
tency.
ringsters spent the peoples money
and left nothing to show for 1t but
debts They increased the number of
Offices without increasing their eff
cheney They raised salaries all along
the line without raising the standard
of the service.
The Ancient shrow of Fourteenth
street should content herself with ser
monizing on the frightful extravaganza
of the police in purchasing a roll-top
desk when they could use their knees
to write on.
She should be especially careful how
monkeys with history. It's loaded.
In deciding not to grab anything III
South or Central America. the admin
istration shows that its costly Philip
pines lesson has not been entirely
wasted.

THE CUSTOM I1otSE GREETING.


Gen. Frederick D. Grant on his ar
rival at New York the other day, voiced
the general sentiment of Americans re-
turning to these shores from abroad
when he said The United States Gus
tom house regulations take the edge off
the pleasure of getting home.
Cen Grant had been clear around the
world since his departure for duty in
the Philippines and his baggage was
subjected to official examination for the
first time on his return to his native
land of the free. 1t wasn't this, how
ever that caused the General to kick,
but the official insinuation of dishon-
csty with which the homecoming citi-
zen is met. 1t was inconvenient to
have his trunks turned inside out in
the custom house. but the General is a
soldier and could easily stand that
trying ordeal though it is. What made
him hot was. in his own words, the
fact that. after making me declare
everything which l had brought, and
swear to the truth of my statement,
they should turn my trunks upside
down in order to see whether | was the
liar and smuggler that the government
presupposes all it's citizens to be.
The regulations complained of by
Gen. Grant have been in force for two
years or more. Every incoming pas
senger is subjected to the same official
insult and indign.ty and Gen. Grant
does not stand alone in protesting
against this system, which presupposes
everybody to be liar and thief.
Gen Grant also complains that he
was obliged to pay s33 duty on s63
worth of goods brought in by him. On
this score. however. the General de-
serves no sympathy since he confesses
he is a supporter of McDingleyism
But his eyes have been opened-as a
personal experience alone can do it-as
to the real height of the tariff wall-for-
trusts-oniy anG the abfardity of the
plea tina th foreigner pays the tax.
