UNCLE JOt'S REPLY.
The Speaker Writes Letter to a
Methodist Bishop.

Danville. ILL.,. Oct s0.-Speaker
Cannon today at the request of Rev.
F. M. Bristol. bishop of the M. E.
church at Indianapolis. addressed him
ton put to the speaker. did the
speaker prevent the house from TAX
ing a vote on the Littlefeld bill.
Mr.. Cannon in his letter had this to
IT did not prevent the house from
considering the Littlefield bill or vot-
ing upon it, and l will add that I had
no power to prevent the house from
doing either, for, as Mr.. Littlefield
says in his letter to me dated Septem-
er IL, there are no rules, there is no
committee on rules, and there is no
speaker that cannot prevent a
majority of the house from taking up
any measure and acting upon it at
any time.
'In the first session of the Sixtieth
congress the Littlefield bill was not
reported from the committee on
judiciary. The speaker had no power
to compel that committee to report
that or any other bill referred to it
under the rules or to prevent the COM
mittee from reporting any bill over
which it had jurisdiction.
The committee not having reported
the bill, the speaker as a matter OF
course did not prevent the hous from
considerin it or voting upon it.
mo motion was ever made in the
house to take up that bill for consid-
GRAFTON nor was any recognition asked
for that purpose. 1t was in the power
of any member of the house if he had
with him a majority by raising the
question of consideration to have
brought the Littlefield bill before the
house for action and it was not in the
power of the speaker to have prevented
action.
Il have said in my speeches and
repeat 1t to you, that the bishops OF
the Methodist church were misled by
agents who wilfully or ignorantly made
untruthful reports to them.
THE Rev. A. Baker of Columbus, o.,
is the general superintendent of the
Anti-saloon league. 1 have not the
remember to have ever met or seen
him. The Rev. Nicholson is the legis-
lative superintendent of the Anti-sa-
loon league in Washington. 1 have met
him. These two men seem to be re-
sponsible for the misstatements that
have been circulated. The league and
the churches which employed these
agents had right to the truth; but
they did not get it from them.
"'They both state that as speaker, !
packed the Judiciary committee to pre-
vent the report of the Littlefield bill
and specify particularly that / did not
resentatve PER- of Maryland, to the
committee on judiciary for the reason
that he favored the Littlefield bill.
These each and all are false, deliberate
falsehoods, which have been repeated
in the face of denials from the speaker,
Mr.. Littlefield, and Republican MEM
bers of the Judiciary committee"

Acid And AIkdIi
In the Stomach
Digests the Food Naturally If in
Right Proportion; If Not,
Then Dyspepsia.


Acid and alkan make up the liquid
Known as gastric juice. which digests
your food
If through abuse of the stomach, or
weakness of blood or through scores
of other causes this gastric juice is
not made up correctly of acid and al
kan, your stomach cannot digest food.
Such stomach then acts as a pit
where the food lies, ferments, decays,
is thrown off at last. either into the in
testines or is vomited from the system.
If thrown into the intestines a large
proportion of it is taken up and passed
into the blood, for the intestines are
covered on the inside surfaces with
millions of little mouths which are
placed there to suck up nourishment for
the blood.
You may readily see that if instead
of good rich nourishment, there is vile
poisonous fermented bile and acid, these
same little mouths suck some of it by
necessity and pass it into the blood.
The blood in turn throws it off and the
system is Immediately placed in an inn
perfect state.
The blood is weakened. the tissues
lose strength. the skin becomes dis
eased and man in general suffers in a
score of places.
Then again the blood furnishes gas
| trio juice to the stomach. for when the
| gastric juice is not needed for digestive
purposes it goes back to the blood.
| When food comes into the stomach the
nerves along the Alimentary Canal and
| in the mouth signal the brain for help
and the blood Immediately furnishes
| sufficient gastric juice to do the work
we'll and quickly.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into
| the stomach, balance the gastric juice,
digest the food. are taken up by the
blood, purifies it, and when the food
comes again to the stomach a natural
gastric juice of right proportion greets
| it and does its work perfectly. After
| a time these little tablets restore Ma
ture, build up the gastric juice and
| there is no longer dyspepsia.
| Every druggist carries them in stock,

physicians will attest their word to the
merit of these tablets. Buy a box now

Trials by Jury i'm England.

Trial by jury is not a popular insti-

S36,529 actions determined last year
only SS7 were tried by juries. On three
of the most important circuits-the
Manchester, the Leeds, and the Bolton
circuits-not a single case was tried
by jury all through the year. On the
Cardiff circuit the jury box was occu-
pied but once, and on the Newcastle
and the Carlisle circuits not more than
twice. Curiously enough the demand
for the services for jurymen has di-
minished as the business of the coun-
