A RATION OP DYSPEPTICS From the Mountaineer. Walballa, N, Dak. The remorse of a guilty stomach is what • large majority of toe people are suffering with to-day. Dyspepsia is a characteristic American disease and it is frequently stated that “we are a nation of dyspeptics/’ Improper food, hurried eating, mental worry, exhaustion; any of these produce a lack of vitality in the system, by causing the blood to lose its life-sustaining elements. The blood is the vital element in our lives and should be carefully nurtured. Restore the blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia will vanish and good health follow. For example, m the county of Pembina, North Dakota, a few miles from Walballa, resides Mr. Ernest Snider; a man of sterling integrity, whose veracity cannot be doubted, , He saya:

f VI h \ The Doctor* DiMffreed. *T became seriously ill three year* ago The doctor gave me medicine for indigestion, but I continued to become worse. 1 had several physicians at intervals who give me •ome relief, but nothing permanent “I read in the newspapers articles regarding the wonderful curative powers oi Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and finally concluded to try the pills. I purchased six boxeg. This was five months ago. The first box gave me much relief. I continued taking the pills, and after using four boxes was cured.’* These pills are recognized everywhere as s specific for diseases of the blood and nerves. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia, and other diseases long supposed incurable, they have proved their efficacy in thousands of ca^es. SHIP TRUCKS It Is tike Topmost Thing on a Vessel and Is Commonly t’sed on FlagsUffs Ashore. Practically every flagship is sue mounted by a truck having a shieve set in it. or two holes bored through it, through which the flag halliards are rove. The truck thus commonly used it in the form of a disk, which is placed flat upon the top of j the staff, with the edges projecting a j little all around. The shieve is set, or j the holes are bored, in the part that i thus projects. Trucks are made of iignumvitae, and ! -they are made of various sixes, according to the size of the flagpole and the j weight of the flag they are to hold. There is often seen rising above the J truck a gilded ball. This is supported ; upon a steel rod which is set down i into the top of the pole through a | hole in the center of the truck made J for the purpose. Sometimes on boats, j usually on smaller craft, there is used ; in this manner a gilded ball that has j rising above it a slender spindle fitted to carry a little triangular flag; called a fly, which serves to indicate the direction of the wind. Truck* are often made with both thieve and holes, the shieve near the edge on one side and the hole* on the other. Such truck* are commonly u*ed ] on yacht* and other smaller vessels. I the shieve being used for flag halliards. and the hole* for signal halliard*.

un deep-water snips ann sieamer* ; and other larger vessels the truck commonly carried at the top of the masts, on American vessels, is a ball truck. This also is made of lignumvitae, but round like a ball. This truck is sometimes gilded. The ball truck makes • better finish than a fiat truck on the top of a mast, and it is also stouter and less likely to be broken. The ball truck is bored and fitted down upon the top of the mast. The shieve in the ball truck is placed in the upper j>art of the ball and not far from tfie top, with holes leading down from it through the wood and coming out' unde;rnea<h on the same side of the ball with the shieve. The ball truck i? so set on a mast that the shieve and the hoies leading to it come or. the after side. While on American ships bail trucks are commonly used, there are often seen on British ships fiat trucks.-—X. Y. Sun.

Xot Chronic Yet. j For days the officers and crew of the i noble ship had fought unremittingly j to confine the flame to the coal bunk- I ers. where it originated. Ir. this they had been successful, | though the deck-plates were warped ! and bulging with the terrific beat, and j •moke poured from every crevice and j porthole, and as the ship reached the | dock and made fast, ami the haggard men, who had remained at their posts and saved the stately vessel, reeled J down the gang-plank, more dead than I aliwe^4>earty cheers burst forth from the assembled thousands on shore, for j the news of the threatened calamity | had spread like wildfire. “Has the fire reached the magaxines?” queried an excited reporter, j rushing aboard and addressing the .first officer he met. “Heaven forbid!" replied the gaunt, hollow-eyed man in uniform, with a | dreamy, faraway gaie. “I think it has j only reached the daily papers vet."— Chicago Tribune.

A COWARDLY CAMPAIGN. DUhonrsty o( the Kepiklteau Is Ac«la AfRareit la Their Base PUu. The cowardice of the republican party in meeting the real issue is notorious. The party has enjoyed its long hold on the offices, principally be* cause of the ability of its leaders to dodge and to misrepresent the real issues before the people, and never was this trait more marked than la the present campaign. The party leaders started out to base their campaign on the dishonest claim that the war with Spain was a republican war, that the republicans in congresse and the republican president alone deserved the credit for its conduct; and to that end the position of the democrats in congress and the democratic party as a whole was wilfully and consistently misrepresented. When the mismanagement of the war department officials and of the sons-of-fathers who held army commissions under the president’s appointment made the country rise in mighty protest, the republican leaders dropped their war “issue” in a hurry, and since then have been busy trying to scare up something else to take its place. In hew York, where the great fight Is for the state officers, the republican basses are doing all they can to escape state issues. In the hope that they may profit by the great majority that New York gave the McKinley ticket, Platt has given orders that the republicans must raise the “sound money” cry and try to scare all the ele-. ments thatjsupported McKinley to support Teddy Roosevelt. The other day Grosvenor, who talks through his hat at the instance of the administration, was in New York, and there he joined vociferously in the cry for “sound money,” declaring that this must be the simon-pure issue of the campaign. This is the same Grosvenor who manufactured the “war issue” and declared it the one and only thing to be considered; but a little thing like selfrepudiation doesn’t bother the whitehaired statesman from the Buekevt state, fact that was emphasized by later developments^. “Sound money” is the thing in New York, where something is needed to divert attention from the rotten record of the republican party in its conduct of state^affairs; but out in Ohio, the president’s own state, that great adminstration issue would not do at

all. At least so Grosvenor declared as soon as he pot home, and he has manufactured a special issue for Ohio consumption. Out there where the country naturally expected that the president’s financial policy should bestronply defended by his party, the republicans have put up a civil service bupaboo and are fiphtinp it. Grosvenor has announced that the campaign must be run on the “issue” of the abolition of civil service, or at least Its extension so the boys can have more offices. Speaking of this action on the part of the Ohio leaders, the Chicago Tribune, which is one of the stanchest republican papers of the west, says: “The republican leaders have shoved the money question on one side. In order to bring to the front Congressman Grosvenor’s great Issue. That Issue Is the overthrow of the merit system as regards federal employes and the restoration of the villainous spoils system, with himself as one of the chief managers and beneficiaries. It Is no wonder that as the result of allowing the democrats to work free silver for all It Is worth, without a solitary effort to expose the fraudulency of their demands, and as the result of advocating the spoils system instead of discussing the monetary question, the men responsible for that kind of campaigning are afraid Ohio will go democratic." But that doesn’t lay entirely bare the dishonesty of this Ohio “issue.” The fact is that it is in the power of the president himself to make such rhanpes in the civil service laws as will open up to the republicans almost all the offices now held by democrats, and Grosvenor knows better than anybody that it is the president’s intention, de

spite his civil service pretensions, to make the necessary order. Indeed, the order has already been prepared and would have been issued some time since but for the protests of the very men. like Grosvenor. who are now crying aloud that such changes be made. These men knew that the order *-ad been prepared. They had been elamoringfor it. as they are clamoring now. Hut when it became known a few weeks ago that the promulgation of the order was imminent, they hurried to the president and urged him to hold Up until after the election. Doubtless Grosvenor himself was one of those who saw the president, and whose entreaties were largely responsible for the matter being held up. The ground on which they put their request was the practical ^ one that they wanted to make a lot of promises ip this campaign. and it would be easier to make these promises “go” than it would be if the order opening up the offices had Wet. promulgated. For this reason it wa* held up. There is no possible occasion for an nntieivll service issue in Ohio or anywhere else—on the part of the republicans— for the whole matter is in the hands of the republican president, and his delay in meeting the demands of his party Is due entirely to the requests of the republican leaders, who want to promise offices promiscuously in the iio^c that they may reap some benefits. All this is, however, in keeping with the record of the party. The republicans of Ohio are afaid to meet the democats in a contest upon the great issue raised by the sell-out of theii party to the gold standard, for they know that they cannot successfully meet that issue. The democrats, on the other hand, are meeting it squarely and with confidence that It Is stronger than CTcr with the people. They hare the courage of their convictions, and will keep on fighting top them.— Atlanta Constitution'

CRIME OP THE USURER. It Baa Been Committed ky Those Who Have Raised the Gold Standard. Those who had reaped the benefits of the steady increase in the value of money from 1S09 to 1846 from its failure to increase as rapidly in volume as commerce had increased, fully saw and understood the advantages which had come to them from this lessening supply of money in proportion to trade,* and the fact was never lost sight of by j them. They fully understood that the j beneficence of Almighty God and the industry of man had given to the world a sufficient supply of gold and silver to defeat the usurers in their game of consuming the wealth and labor of the world by the unearned increase in the value of their money. It was clear that there was no way to reduce the supply of metal which l*rovidence had placed in the mountains, and there was no way to prevent the strong arms of the miners from bringing it up. The only chance left to them then was to create an artificial scarcity of money if they were ever to bring back the old conditions of robbery by law—the old conditions of hard times and distress which was their harvest. When nature and industry had provided in abundance scarcity could only be produced by legislation to strike down one metal and limit the money function as far as possible to the other. This crime was consummated in 1ST3. From the day that that law unfortunately became operative it has carried into execution the purposes which these conspirators had in view. The volume of money, lessening not absolutely, but in proportion to the volume of trade, has of necessity continually increased the value of money, and by this hidden, unseen and covert means confiscation of the property of the masses for the benefit of these individuals has been and is being accomplished, and this condition of things must and will continue so long as the laws remain as they are now The causes which have operated to produce t^ie present results will continue their operation in the same line. Prices which have been in the last 20 years reduced, say, 50 per cent., will in the next 20 years be reduced 50 per cent. more. Before 1ST3 the coin and bullion value of both gold and silver were practically the same. Since that ti me the bullion value ns well as the coinage value of gold has enor

mousij mcreaseu. wnue surer pracxically remained steady, at least up to 1S93, although excluded from the mints and denied its money function. Up to 1S93, when the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act was forced through congress, and when England arbitrarily closed the mints of India to the coinage ' f silver, there was no decline in the real value of that metal; it was wotth as much, would buy as much, of an/ one of the thousands I of articles of commerce all over the ! world, even in the United States and in Great Britaiu, as it would in 1873 and ! before. It was only since these two | blows, delivered by the two great An-glo-Saxon peoples of the world, that silver has actually declined in vaiue. PEOPLE AND PRESIDENT. McKinley Is Sticking Close to Hnnnn and Alger and the Money Power. In a speech made at Springfield the other day President McKinley spoke of the policy of President Lincoln In staying close to the people. The reference was important in that this is the very plan that President McKinley is following in everything.— Peoria Journal. There are people and people. The kind of people President McKinley is staying close to are not the same kind of people that President Lincoln cultivated the confidence of. JAMES K. JONES.

President McKinley is “sticking close to the Hanna '■•ud Alger kind of people. The bondholders, syndicates, trusts, combines and monopolies are composed of the kind of people who stand close to McKinley, who have his ear and whose desires he consults and whose dictates he follows. On the other hand. President Lincoln consulted and stood up for and close to the plain people—the farmer and the producer, the mechanic and the laborer, the merchant and the professional roan. It was the desires of these that he heeded and the dictates of these that he endeavored to carry out. There is a vast difference in the policies and methods of the two men. McKinley is aristocratic in his tendencies. I He cultivates the money power, rides over the country in royal style and dispenses his smiles with courtly grandeur. McKinley in every pose presents himself as the “ruler** of the people; Lincoln’s attitude was always that of a servant of the people. McKinley is no more following In the footsteps of Lincoln than Mark Hanna is following in the footsteps of Salmon I P. Chase or Ben Wade.—Illinois State . Register. Incompetence, and Patriotism. President McKinley, returning from the Omaha exposition, has been making little speeches from the platform of his car to the curious crowds that assembled at the stations en route. The war was, of course, everywhere the topic that furnished the burden of his remarks. At one place he said: *What has pleased me more than anything else on my entire trip is to witness the exhibitions of patriotism throughout the country. I am glad to see that throughout the whole land the people ever love good government and dearly love the old flag." They do, Mr. McKinley. They love both, and the one goes with the other, but they also dearly love efficiency and honesty in their public servanta; and the same patriotism that sent our soldiers into the field now demands the bringing to book of the incompetents who muddled the war and starred our soldier*.—N. X. Journal. : • S4*«
