At the Democratic rally day. in
Doylestown, where WEBSTER GRIM
lives and moves and has his being,
all of 100 men, some of them Dem
ocrats, the others Republicans who
wanted an hours amusement, show
ed up to hear Mr.. GRIM and Con-
gresham PALMER from the Water
Gap talk to the faithful. All, but
there's one real good straw to show
which way the political wind is
blowing this fall in Pennsylvania!

A Great Banana Country.

The growing of bananas for export
is the great basic industry of Hondu-
ras. The enormous increase in re-
cent years in the consumption of
bananas and the fortunes made by
successful growers make this a sub
ject of wide interest. The exports of
this fruit from Central America have
trebled during the last ten years and
constitute about so per cent of all
the bananas imported into the United
States.
The banana in Honduras grows wild
In practically all parts of the country
up to an elevation of three thousand
feet or more, but the industry of cul-
tivating this fruit for export is con-
fined TO the rich, hot lands along the
north coast and not extending farther
inland at any point than fifty or sew
enty-flve miles. Puerto Cortes, Ceiba
and Trujlllo are the shipping points.

BE careful, brother reformer, that
you speak the truth" was one of the
pointed epigrams given by Col.
ROOSEVELT in Pittsburg. There
are a good many alleged reformers
now tearing up the sod in the past

who have little respect for the truth,
1t is possible Col. ROOSEVELT is
acquainted with some of them and
knows what he is talking about.

INDIGESTION DEPARTS
Stomach Agony and After Dinner
Distress Stopped in Minutes.

Why should any sensible person
continue to suffer day after day with
terrible stomach ailments when G..
w. Peil guarantees MI-O-NA stom-
ach tablets to cure even the worst
case of indigestion, or money back.
If your stomach REBELS after eat
ing and food sours or ferments in
the stomach causing gas, pain, heart
burn, and heaviness, two MI-ONA
tablets will drive away the misery in
five minutes and leave the stomach
feeling splendid.
A large box of MI-O-NA stomach
tablets costs so cents at G. w. Peil
and leading druggists everywhere.
If you have stomach trouble of
any kind, start to use MI-O-NA stom-
ach tablets today. They not only
build up the stomach, but they act
as a tonic to the enire body. They
are makers of rich, red blood and
nerves that never finch; they in
crease vitality and make the weak

MAINE FIGHT A LOCAL ONE.

Republicans should not get un-
easy or fidgety this early in the
game because the ordinarily conser-
vative and careful Pine Tree state
has in a moment of unCharaCteristic
hysteria seen fit to throw a Repub-
lican governor out of the state house
in Augusta, to send three Demo-
cratic congressman to Washington,
and to elect a legislature that will
be predominantly Democratic. Maine,
generally Republican by $4,000 or
something like that, though McKIN-
LEY carried it by 4S,9S2 in 1896,
is as Republican at heart today as
she has been since 1880, when an
other PLAISTED, the father of the
PLAISTED who won this time, was
swept in just before President GAR
FIELDS election; but Maine Re-
publicans, to tell the straight truth
about it, got disgusted with Gov.
FERNALD.
Never a man of much mental
breadth or executive calibre and al
ways recognized as the plant tool
of HIRAM KICKER, the millionaire
spring water bother of Poland
Springs, who put up the coin to
nominate and elect the Androscoggin
corn Gamer, BERT FERNALD has
of late incurred the sincere disgust
of intelligent men in both parties by
trying to explain and defend the
Intellectual, even farcical prohibition
law of his state. He said that Maine
prohibition did actually prohibit; and
every man and woman in Maine,
from the Bay of Fundy to Ports
mouth navy yard and from the Do
minion line to the Atlantic breakers
at Casco and Bar Harbor, knew that
statement was either gross untruth-
fulness or dense ignorance.
The defeat of FERNALD has long
been forecasted; and the worst of it
was that the anti-FERNALD men
were not satisfied with voting for
PLAISTED but put the whole Dem
ocratic ticket into the box straight.
They made a blunder not likely to
be duplicated in any other state, but
in Maine it is common practice to
cut the whole ticket in order to spite
one unsuitable candidate. Democrats
and renegade Republicans in Penn
sylvania and other states who draw
encouragement from the Maine re-
suit and predict the shifting of other
stalwart Republican states to the
Democratic column this fall are liv-
ing in a fools paradise. The con-
test in Maine was heated by local
issue of long brewing and the heroic
effort of the Maine voters was pri-
marily toward the downing of one
man intellectually incompetent for
his Office. They went too far and
the result in Maine is deplorable, but
it is not a result big with signifi-
canoe Cor the party in the nation.

Only a small, mean spirit will
stoop to censure the dead who can
not come back from Eternity to de-
fend themselves, even though it be
the purpose of that censure to warn
brothers who remain how earnest
should be their effort to avoid the
pitfalls which may have claimed
older and more sagacious men. 1t
is easy for any reasonable if not
positively charitable man to speak
fairly of our friends that leave us.
Petulant outbreaks following a week
behind the mourners and the coffin
have neither manhood nor good
sense to justify them. The strength
of WILLIAM MCKINLEY was large
ly based on the fact that no politi-
cal or personal foe of the man from
Canton was ever made the target for
viciously critical outbreaks or even
for caustic comments that might be
taken as a reflection upon private
character or personal conduct. If
WILLIAM MCKINLEY would not
praise a man, that man was politi-
eally damned by the MCKINLEY
silence in Ohio. But the querelous
carping of small men with an over
weaving vision of their own conse-
quence in a country county can in
jure no man save the one who
stoops to such un-Christian tactics.
