NOON IN RENSSELAER.

It is said that only twelve men have bobbed up thus far as candidates for the republican nomination for governor of Indiana, including Senator Freemont Goodwine of Williamsport. The Indianapolis Sun (Rep.) says: “There is no standing still. The Republican party must go on or it must fall back. The decent 'thing for it to do is to fall back and out. It has “gone on” too long. During all of the war talk that is going around it is well not to forget that the powder trust has the United States by the tliroat, and that Colonel Dupobt, the head of the powder trust, is a Republican member of the United States senate. Now that the government has brought a suit for the dissolution of the tobacco trust and for the appointment of a receiver for the concern, the result will be awaited with interest. The state of Texas started the receivership movement and the fact that the national administration follows suitia but another tribute to Democratic initiative. The president of the National Educational Association disagrees with Mr. Roosevelt on the proposition that rille practice in the public schools is an important “peace measure” He says that there is already too much war talk and too much beating of drums and brandishing of swords in the schools now. Evidently the philosophy of speaking softly but carrying a big stick with plenty of knots on it is still in the experimental stage so far as the public schools are concerned. THE COMMONER ON THE SITUATION. Commenting on the gloomy outlook of a number of daily papers that predicted certain victory for Parker in 1904, the Commoner says: “The fact is that democratic prospects, instead of being gloomy are bright, and growing brighter. The democratic position has been vindicated as shown by events, and second, by the admission of republicans. Every proposition for which the democratic party stood in 1896 has been proved sound and not a republican policy but is weaker today than it was then. In 1896 the democrats contended that the country needed more money; this was denounced as a wild and unexcusable theory by sage financiers, and yet, with an increase in money of more than fifty per cent per capita we have

none too much money now, and the larger volume of money has increased prices and brought prosperity. What would be our industrial condition today if we hnd no inore money now than in 1896, Wen* the republicans said we had enough? “The party’s position hfj> been demonstrated so be sound, and every day increases the nirtnber of those who believe as the democratic platform in 1900 stated, that a private monopoly is indefensible and intollerablQ. . “The partes position on the tariff question is vindicated. Our protected manufacturers, by selling abroad in competition with the world, admit that they do not need the tariff to compete at home. There are more tariff reformers in the United States today than there ever were before.

“The party’s position on the is vindicated. It has been demanding regulation for more than ten years, and the unanimity of the sentiment in favor of regulation shows how strong the democratic position is. The president has secured a little .regulation but very little compared with what the country needs. “Our party’s position on the labor question is vindicated" We demanded arbitration in three campaigns, and arbitration grows stronger each year. We denounced government by injunction in 1896. The abuse of this writ becomes more and more apparent. “Events have vindicated the party’s position on imperialism, and the best informed republicans now admit that ultimate independence is the only solution of the Philippine question. “The president has even adopted the doctrine of an income tax and is favoring an inheritance tax also to prevent the transmission of the swollen fortunes to the next generation. When has a party in power lost in popularity so rapidly as the republican party has? When has a party out of power increased its strength more rapidly than the democratic party has?. And it is a positive and aggressive democracy—not a'timid corporation democracy—that has coerced the administration into the adoption of democratic ideas. “If a party is strong in proportion as its principles are strong, then the democratic party is growing rapidly in strength. If the people like democratic policies when those policies are put into operation by republicans, they can not greatly fear them when put into operation by democrats.”

What Is Going on in Town When the Clock Strikes ia. Noon, the dinner hour, the hour of comfort, of pleasure and relaxation—the one hour in the twenty, four which comes to men and women of every station with greater similarity than the hour of any other function in life. Promptly as the clock strikes 12 in Rensselaer the shadows on anxious faces tnrn to lines of good will, audit villainous hot bread, pie, spicesand other indigestibles were excluded there would be no such words as dyspepsia or indigestion in the dictionary. But the contrary is true, and medical science has to step in and aid the man or woman who has been too busy to pay proper attention to health. The greatest step forward in medical discovery is Mi-o-na, that cures all stomach and digestive troubles. In hundreds of the best homes in Rensselaer and adjoining towns the handy little tablets, so peasant to take, yet so effective, have given quick and lasting relief in indigestion and that disagreeable full feeling after eating. Mi-o-na acts very gently. Much of its wonderful power over indigestion comes from its uniform but sustaining action. The required stimulating and strengthening is given to the important organs of digestion without producing the slightest weakness or reaction. A 50-cent box lasts for a couple of weeks and will ward off a dozen attacks of indigestion. B. F. fendig gives a guarantee, absolute and unqualified, with every box of Mi-o-na to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction.
