MORE PEACE TALK.

u USSIA has apparently decided
~ that the time has come to make
terms Of peace. She has been led to
this step. not by the terrible loss Of
men and the demand for new levies.
for she has millions Of military age.
land it Is not the sacrifice of life which
lmoves the powers at st. Petersburg.
But modern wars must take into
account the financial end Of campaigns,
and the low ebb Of Russian securities
has startled the Car and his minis
ters. While Paris refuses new loans
save on the condition OF peace. IN
London people have been standing in
line TO subscribe te-the japanese loan.
Sentiment has nothing to do with Il.
France has for years been rather hys-
terical IN her professions o. attach
ment to Russia, but her bankers do
not weigh sentiment Likewise the
people OF London are not subscribing
to japanese securities because Of ad-
miration or sympathy but because
they regard these securities as good
Investments
Therefore Russia TO date is whipped
at sea- whipped on land and whipped
on the exchanges. It would take more
than a single victory to rehabilitate
her in the esteem Of the world.
But now that Russia has intmated
her willingness to consider peace pro-
posals Il is OF interest to note the re-
strictlons she at the beginning places
ON the negotiations. She will not con-
slider an indemnity or cession OF ter
ritory. AS to the indemnity. It is inn
possible TO understand the real atti-
tude OF Japan. Possibly she may be
willing to waive this ON securing other
important concessions. But Il Is u
little doubtful just what Russia means
by refusal to cede territory. She never
owned foot Of Corea, and she held
Manchurla only because she chose to
break her promise to evacuate. II she
means that she viii not give up Man

contest. Ex-Governor Frank Black OF
New York win be his chief counsel and
il VIII be contest such as has never
been witnessed in a Kentucky court
II Powers is guilty there is nothing
in the published testimony TO show it,
nothing even on which to found a
suspicion OF guilt. Evidently the
Court Of Appeals Of Kentucky holds
some such view for on three occasions
the case has been returned to the court

The shooting Of Goebel was a das-

A DANGEROUS HABIT.
Gladstone's Physician Gives Warning
Against a Growing American Habit.

Gladstone's Physician Gives WARNING
Against Growing American Habit.
The growing habit amongst Ameri-
cans of taking a mint tablet or some
other so-called digestive after eating a
hearty meal is something that Sir An
drew Clarke Mr.. Gladstone's physician,
advises strongly against saying: 1T
is absolutely dangerous to take into the
stomach remedies which are popularity
supposed to aid in the digestion of
food"
There is nothing known to the sci
ence of medicine that can perform the
work of the human stomach. Drugs
do not and cannot digest the food. They
simply decompose It, What can be
more revolving or disgusting than the
thought of taking something into the
stomach that is going to turn the good
food you have eaten into a mass Of
corruption.
The only way to overcome Indigestion
.and its evil effects is to remove all ir-
ritation, congestion and Inflammation
from the stomach. liver and intestines.
and Mi-o-na is the only agent known
that will do this.
When a Mi-o-na tablet is taken be-
fore each meal every trace of irritation
land Inflammation is removed from the
stomach and digestive system and
those organs will extract from the food
all that goes to make good rich blood.

THE DELA WARE DEADLOCK

and misguided obstinacy Of the chief
of the so-called Union Republican
element. Seeking election to the SEN
ate rs a Republican. ). Edward Ad-
dicks has for ten years past left no
stone unturned TO capture the Legis-
lature. But his ambition has excitel
an intense hostility. and so far he has
failed either IN crushing or in placat-
ing the opposition 10 his candidacy
maintained within the party In his
career as a Republican leader he has
accepted responsibilities and under
taken duties which bind him to con-
slider something beyond the gratinca-
tion Of his feverish desire to sit in
the United States Senate. He has
failed to show a due sense Of his obh-
cations both TO the voters Of Della
ware and to the Republican national
organization. His leadership has
been narrow unintelligent and abso-
lutely selfish. He has had his chance
politically and has shown no real ca
pacity to improve It.
It is one Of the most encouraging
signs Of the times IN Delaware that
the Republican voters are firing Of
Mr.. Addicks' dog IN the manger pro-
gram. At the session just ended he
has lost ground enormously. and there
Is little reason to think that he can
carry his hopeless fight into another
Legislature. His activities have so
sadly demoralized the party in Della
ware that a revival Of serious and
public spirited leadership Is not inn
mediately to be hoped for. But a re-
action must come some day. Mean
while L is encouraging to think that
Mr.. Addicks' day is ending, and that
faction ridden Delaware is preparing
to free itself from incubus Of his bane-
ful and selfish leadership.

THE announcement that David C..

pany came as a surprise to many VIII
mington people. and was something Of
shock to an
when the plant was purchased re-
Gently by Charles NJ. schwab and
others representing the United States
shipbuildlug Company. the statement
was made that this was to be run as
practically Independent plant and
as local concern. Mr.. Reid was
given high praise and assurance that
be would remain the head OF the con-
Germ.
Therefore. the news OF his contem-
plated resignation naturally leads to
the presumption that a new system is
to prevail, eliminating the local man
agoment This may mean either Of
two things. that the greater company
proposes to put It's energy and capital
into this plant and increase its activl-
ty or that most Of the work which
naturally comes 10 these yards viii be
diverted TO other plants within the

We trust that the purpose Is the
former and that Harlan's may be
placed on footing where its former
