Putting food into a diseased stomach

Putting food into diseased stomach
is like putting money into pocket
with holes. The money is lost. All
its value goes for nothing. When the
stomach is diseased, with the allied
organs of digestion and nutrition, the
food which is put into it is largely lost.
Tne nutriment is not extracted from
it. The body is weak and the blood
impoverished. Tine pocket can be
mended. The stomach can be cured.
That sterling medicine for the stomach
and blood, Doctor sPisrce's Golden
Medical Discovery, acts with peculiar
promptness and power on the organs Of
digestion and nutrition. 1t is posi-
tive cure for almost all disorders of
these organs, ana cures also such
diseases Of the heart, blood, liver and
other organs, as have their cause in a
weak or diseased condition Of the
stomach.

rhe Senate should Reject eyrne.

The Senate Should Reject Byrne.
In the course of the scathing editorial
from the New York Evening Post, re-
printed on this page, in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt is simply flayed for his
miserable surrender to Addicksism in
reappointing William Michael Byrne
to the office Of United States district
attorney, the suggestion is advanced
that the United States Senate should
refuse to lend itself to this disgraceful
political alliance The appointment
will come before that body for con
tirmation, and it is urged that it should
be rejected, and the judiciary com
mittee Of the Senate, of which Senator
Hoar is chairman, is asked to make an
adverse report upon the nomination.
The suggestion is sound and prauti-
cal, and it is one that should appeal
potently to the bench and bar of Della
ware, and enlist their hearty CO.
operation. The bar association in each
of the counties, the members of the
bar as individuals, and the judges
State and Federal-should unite in an
earnest protest against the consumma-
tion of this crownlng political outrage.
Such a protest would surely haze its
effect upon the members of the Senate
Judiciary committee, and through the
committee upon the members of the
| Senate.
Even were there no base political
considerations involved, there is enough
in Mr.. Byrne's official record as dis,
trict attorney for three years to war
rant opposition to his continuance
in office. There was nothing in the
administration of the office by Mr..
Byrne but what'was in painful contrast
with the vigorous and brilliant ad
ministration of his lamented prede-
cessor. He was dilatory in pressing
cases for trial, and almost his las
official action was to abandon prose
cution because his indictments wer'
ruled out by the court.
But beyond all personal considera
tions are the political consideration
involved in the matter. Mr.. Byrn
represents Addicks, and was appointed
by President Roosevelt in recognition
of Addicks. This Of itself is sufficien
to arouse every honest sentiment ii
Delaware in a demand that the amazing
alliance between Roosevelt and Addick
be broken. 1t should be broken TO
the sake Of the President, who IS al
honest man. 1t should be broken il
the interest of pure politics and deoen
suffrage. To allow it to stand withou
protest will be an endorsement of ever
thing that is low, corrupt and degrad
ing in politics, and it will be an ad
mission that money, and only money
should BIZ the controlling factor in tn
elections Of Delaware. To submi
in silence to this alliance of tn
administration with the corruptin
agency of Addicks Republinanism will
be to admit that the senatorships G
Delaware should be held for sale to th
highest bidder, instead of honorabl
rewards for the abilities and virtues c
good citizenship.
Let the fight against this Addiok
appointment be carried to the Senate
To defeat it there will be to not onl
save the President from the contamina
tion of Addicks Republicanism, but t
save him from himself.

The leading feature of these compari-
sons, and one that will cause consider
able surprise, is the very slight increase
in the tutal yote of 1902 over the total
vote of 1892. In the latter year it was
36, 65s: this year it was 81, 35T, an in
crease of culy COS. Probably the re-
jected ballots OF the last election may
make tho difference amount to about
l,20G, but even this increase in ten
years is surprisingly small. 1t at once
dissipates the old claim of the Republi-
can politicians that under the former
system OF assessment laws and voting
with tax receipts the Deomcra.s dis
franchised thousands of Republi-
cans. " For this year all the voting
machinery was in the hands of the Re-
publicans They held the registration
and they conducted the election. And
yet the total vote is slightly in excess
of what it was ten years ago, when the
election machinery was in the hands of
tho Democrats, and tax receipts were
the qualifications for voting.
The detail of the changes in the vot-
ing is a matter Of much interest. 1t
will be observed that from 1892 to 1902
the Democratic vote in Wilmington fell
off 9s2; in Rural New Castle county,
558, in Sussex county, 329; while in
Kent county it increased 80. This
makes total falling off of /, 929.
The Republican VOTE on the other
hand, increased apace, with the single
exception of rural New Castle county,
where it shows a decrease of 1853. In
Wilmington the increase was 951; in
Kent county, COB; in Sussex county,
l,242, making net increase in the
State of 2, 62S.
Now, why should the Democratic
vote of Delaware have fallen off SO
materially in ten years, and the Repub-
lican vote increased at such a surpris-
ing paoe? Had the total vote increased,
the answer might have been found in
the transfer of the election machinery
from Democratic to Republican control.
But the total vote is but little more
than a thousand in excess of the total
vote OF lS92.
1t is fact that the national cam
paigns of 1896 and 1900 seriously
affected the Democratic vote, but the
disturbing elements of those two cam
paigns were not apparent this year. Ir
fact, SO far as party differences were
concerned, the Democrats of Delaware
we're as united in this campaign a!
they were in 1892.
Why therefore, should their vot,
show falling Oft of 1929 in the State,
as compared with 1892? Why shoulc
the Republican vote show an increas,
of 2,62s, of which l, 242 was in Suisse.
county alone?
The answer will be found in a singl
word; Money.
