AS TO THE ITEM YESTERDAY. In answering the editorial in, the Palladium of the 13th inst., the editor of the Item "drawetli out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument.' ' The simple act of calling people liars, monkeys and bosses has no logic in it whatever and will convince no one with even ordinary intelligence. The Palladium will never descend to epithets of the character used by the Item but will discuss matters of local interest from a manly and dignified standpoint and no other. No one out side of the Palladium office saw or dictated a single word of the editorial iu the Palladium, nor did any one see it or criticise it until it appeared in print. In justice to persons who are accused, by the Item, of dictating our political policies, we will say candidly and truthfully that we are responsible, and we only, for what appears in the columns of this paper. No one, during the brief time of our residence here, has attempted to mould a single opinion that we have expressed. Of eourse it is perfectly natural for the Item to feel that its downfall, in the district chairmanship contest, w-as due to the herculean effort of some mighty political boss who has everybody else, in sight, under his thumb. One cannot blame our contemporary for evading the main question because it did get a desperate drubbing. It was up against the real thing and did not get a bit brave until it got clear away from the convention. But' all-this is by way of digression. , He still says there was a compromise. ! But nobody else seems to know anything about it. Will the eJitor of the Item, please answer the following questions: , ' . ... , When was the compromise made? , r'i , Where was it made? " ' ' Z...: d. -Who were the parties to the compromise? Who represented Col. Thayer? , When the gentleman who presides over the columns of the Item ans wers these questions to the full satisfaction of the party, we will drop the matter. He owes it to himself and Mr. Unthank to do this or the public will think that he was talking in his sleep. We know there was an effort at a compromise but it failed. We are sure that if the Republicans of the Sixth district entered into any such arrangement, it will be carried out to the letter, but we are unable to find any party to the compromise except tie editor of the Item and if he presumes to speak for the party, that is the basis for his statement sent from the convention on Tuesday evening. The Item has stated time and agiin that there was a fight on for the chairmanship of the Sixth district, bat we never saw the least evidence of it only in the columns of our esteemed contemporary. In an editorial, Dec. 21st, last, the Item said: "We call attention to the editorial of endorsement of Charles R. Unthank for district chairman by the Liberty Herald. The Herald is the Republican organ of Union county and its attitude in the district chairmanship fight is that of the majority of the Republicans in this district." All this he had a perfect right to say and was doubtless sincere in every word of it. But he could not stop here.- He cannot finish tlie paragraph without saying something against, at least, two of the most prominent Republicans in the district. Here is the conclusion of the paragraph: "The peophare getting awake to the fact that something other than an enmity to Wayne county or a personal grudge against Mr. Unthank is back of the bitter opposition to him on the part of Congressman Watson and others." He could not call attention to this editorial without injecting into his editorial a little personal spleen against Messrs. Watson and Starr. His remarks concerning Mr. Starr in yesterday's Item were exceedingly complimentary though intended to be otherwise. He says in substance that Mr. Starr is the recoraized political leader in Wayne county and at the same time makes a too plain exhibition of his own political insignificance. All that any one desires is that the Item clear up the compromise matter, and, until it does this, 'we'll think he "had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was."

AND AGAIN. In yesterday's Item, the' editor, in speaking of the compromise between the Unthank and Thayer forces, said: "Such a proposition was made at Indianapolis the day after the love feast and it was considered and accepted. The proposition camefrom the opposition to Mr. Unthank and it was accepted by the supporters of Mr. Unthank, and this constitutes an agreement. The editor of this paper was present at the conference and knows. He don't have to be told what to think in the case at all." ' It will be noted this agreement was entered into on December 31, 1903, and in the Item of January 9, 1004, we read the following in the Item's editorial: "Republicans of the fifteen townships in Wayne county met this afternoon in their respective townships for the purpose of selection precinct committeemen, a member of the committee, and delegates to the district convention that will occur at Con-nersville next week. "This convention will witness the contest between Charles R. Unthank, of this city, and Col. E. P. Thayer, of Greenfield, for a membership on the state Republican committee. The Unthank forces asserted today there is no question but that the Wayne county delegation will be solidly for him, despite the stories to the contrary that have been circulated throughout the district by the opposition in an attempt to show that there is a lack of harmony in Un thank's own county. The forces of both men are hard at work in every county of this district, and the convention gives promise of much warmth." Now, when the candid reader puts these two statements side by side, it shows one of two things: (1) The editor of the Item does not keep close "tag" on his statements, or (2) he was acting in exceedingly bad faith with Mr. Thayer's friends. These two statements ought to "smoke him out of his hole,r to make the matter more "lucid."

MEMORY OFTEN FAILS because the nervous tissue of the brain loses its elasticity. Rich, pure blood will nourish the nervous system. Nervines only deaden it. Vitona makes the blood pure and makes it circulate, and that is why people taking Vitona find their memory improving. Yitona also improves digestion and strengthens the kidneys, etc. One sample bottle proves its merits. Alford Drug Company, agents.

NURSING MOTHERS. " A richer milk than milk" is good food for nursing mothers. Scott's Emulsion is the rich cream of cod liver oil, and contains ten times as much cream as milk does. The nursing mother must eat with the purpose of producing good, nourishing milk for her baby. A little Scott's Emulsion is often a very wise addition to her daily diet. If through nervousness or weakness her milk is a failure, Scott's Emulsion will help make it a success. The baby gets the benefit, too, when the mother takes Scott's Emulsion. The same remedy brings new strength and nourishment to both. We'll send you a sample free upon request. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl Street. New York.

RAILROAD GOSSIP

The Panhandle railroad company have just received several fine new dining cars. These cars are the finest on any of the Pennsplvania divisions and will all be used on the through run from St. Louis to New York and Washington. They are four in number and this wil soon be increased to five, thus giving one diner to each of the through trains. The cars are of cherry wood inside and will accommodate thirty people at one time. Along the sides of the cars are pots of ferns and the electrics are all shaded with red. . The cars are considerably longer than the ones formerly used. The trucks are the regular Pullman trucks and the bath rooms of the cars are made of the strongest steel and as strong as it is possible to make them. Thus, by the new strong bottoms, the great fear that the cars might be telescoped by the heavy sleepers, should there be a wreck, is entirely eliminated, since now the diners are as

strong or stronger than the sleepers themselves. One of the changes of the new year on the Prnhnhdle lines is the reduction hi the number of annual passes. Here vf ler the members of the families of high officials will not receive annuals. Nearly five hundred annual passes were cut off from the list this year and this has caused much hard feeling. Victor Mantell, the agent of the Union News Co., at the Union Station, will leave at the end of this week for Marion, in which city he has accepted the position of agent for several large Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Chicago dailies. Mr. Mantell 's successor has not yet been chosen. HOW IS THIS?" We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
