Bill Arlp's Letter.

handsome set Of oak finished furniture.
The credulous man would not consult his
landlord, but sent it, and as the circular
said please mention the color of the
upholstery that you prefer he wrote
that he wanted green. In due time he
was notified that the furniture had been
shipped So he waited about ten days
and then drove in with two horse wag-
OH to receive it and haul it home. On
inquiring at the depot he found little
box and inside was a miniature set of
furniture for doll. The bedstead was s
inches long and the sofa g. On the out
side of the box was rs cents for freight.

disordered Digestion
Almost everybodys digestion is disor-
dered more or less, and the commonest
thing they do for it is to take some one of
the many so-called blood purifiers, which
in many cases are merely strong cathar-
tics. Such things are not needed. If the
organs are in a clogged condition, they
need only little help and they will right
themselves. Cathartics irritate the SEN
sitive Innings of the stomach and bowels
and often do more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The thing
to do is to put the food in condition to
be readily digested and assimilated
Stuart's Dyspepsia ablets do this perfect
ly. They partly digest what is eaten and
give the stomach just the help it needs
They stimulate the secretion and excre-
ton of the digestive fluids and relieve the
congested condition of the glads
and membranes. They put the whole di-
gestive system in condition to do it's
work. When that is done you need take
no more tablets, unless you eat what does
not agree with you. Then take one or
two tablets-give them needed help and
you will have no trouble.
It's common sense medicine and a
common sense treatment and it will cure
every time. Not only cure the disease
|, but cure the cause. Goes about it in a
perfectly sensible and scientific way.
We have testimonials to fill a book,
but we don't publish many of them How

says: II have taken all the tablets |

State Affairs.

Michigan Democrats evidently in
tend to ignore national affairs in the
approaching campaign and dwell up
on state affairs alone. They will at
tempt to impress upon the voters that
the state is in bad shape and that af-
fairs are rotten.
AS matter OF fact the affairs OF
the state were never in better shape
than they are now. During the last
fiscal year the receipts were s7,O79,-
42S and the expenditures were $685.
14l. There was, June 30, balance of
81, 453,S in cash in the state treas
ury. The expenses of the state are
reasonable when compared with the
magnitude of the states institutions
and affairs. There has been no ex-
travagance, asis charged. The great
bulk of the money expended has been
for institutions, and this is needed
1t is safe to say that there is no state
with such large interests, that is SO
economically administered as is Mich
igan.
1t is an easy matter to stand of AT
distance and find fault, but II is not
an easy matter to actually do any
better. The administration of Gov.
Bliss, has, on a whole, been remark
ably good. 1t has been safe and con.
serva tive. The states affairs cannot
be entrusted i'm better hands.

No Chnnce This Fall.

Republicans can be depended upon
to take care of the American tariff in
the future just as they have in the
past, and to the benefit of the coun-
try. The Mckinley Bill was enacted
for the purpose of adjusting the tariff
to the real conditions of the country,
and it has since been proved that its
schedules were drawn on most wise
and scientific lines. Through quiet
campaign, however, of misinforma-
tion and deceit, a sufficient number
of people were led astray to secure a
following Democratic victory with a
promise of tariff reform and greater
prosperity. The result of that So
called tariff reform is we'll known.
The same old cry is now being
raised by the Democrats, and the
promise is being made that If Dem
ocratic House is elected there will be
speedy action. Any such statements
are necessarily devoid of truth. Even
should the Democrats gain control Of
the next Congress Republican sSen-
ate and a Republican President would
prevent them from putting into exc
cution any of their free trade princi-
Piles.
Should an unexpected cataclysm
sweep over the country in 1901, elect
ing a Democratic House, Senate and
President, it would, of course, be pos
sible to enact Democratic tariff law
which would plunge the United States
| into business disaster such as fol.
lowed the enactment of the Wilson
Bill; but there is absolutely no posi-
bility of any Democratic tariff legis.
lation as the result of this falls elec.
tion.
Long before there can be any posi-
bility of Democratic action, the Re
publicans will have adjusted the tariff
to the exact needs and requirements
of the country.

The Presidents sincerity in desir-

before Congress which is to become a

it is proposed to give that corporation
additional rights and privileges and
valuable land, and requiring the Dis
trict Of Columbia to pay a large part
of the contemplated expense. Unless
the President vetoes the measure
when it is presented to him there is
little likclyhood OF an effective check
being put upon the rapacity of this
giant corporation. 1t might be made
to serve as an object-lesson.

The limitations of the human brain
are at once marvel and a study. The
man who can make money oftentimes
does not know how TO enjoy it, and
the man who could enjoy money if he
had it, usually does not know how to
make it Thomas Jefferson has been
criticised by those who consider them
selves wise, for placing in the Declar-
ation'of independence the statement
that all men are born equal. 1t has
been said that the Creator never in
tended men TO be equal, because He
has given some men brains that are
so much better than other men have.
With millionaires shooting themselves
breaking themselves down with over
work and dying in harness when they
should have been passing their last
years in quiet contemplation of, and
preparation for the inevitable end, ii
may be that jefferson was wiser than
his critics when he declared that all
men are born equal. For abnormal
development of one faculty almost in
variably involves a lack of develop
ment of other faculties, as the swing
ing of a hammer if ii be ones only
exercise develops the muscles of the
arm at the expense of all the others
As happiness of the true sort is
about all there is i'm human life that s
worth having, who shall say that the
man or woman who is able to wear a
smile through life under conditions
that would bring tears to the eyes of
the Others is not at least the equal,
so far as mental equipment is con-
cerned, of the man who can accumu-
late million dollars at the cost of
his happiness and eventually at the
cost of his life? The quality of a
human brain must he measured by
striking an average between its high
and It's low points not by measuring
1t at its highest peak. Scaled by this
standard, the brain of the man who
knows enough to be happy without
wealth need not suffer by comparison
with that of a man who can accumu-
late money but does not know enough
to be happy even though he have il.
