THEY WILL BUY.
The Baltimore American thinks the
government should sell its claim
against the Union Pacific to the syn
dicate offering $45,000,000 for it.
The reasons it advances are peculiar.
For instance, it says : "The parties
offering this sum own all the branch
es and feeders, which are not includ
ed in the government's claim. They
can afford to buy the Union Pacific
on this account, but if it is put up at
auction they will not make any such
offer, because they don't h&ve to."'
Now, this is where the Baltimore
American does some good reasoning
that it is not aware of. "When the
road is put up the government has
the right to bid, and this is what it
is asked to do. If it does bid, the
gentlemen who claim they have the
government over a barrel because
they own the feeders will find that
they are mistaken. Because they
own the branches they must buy the
road. The main line can exist with
out them, but what wil! they do with
out the main line? The Baltimore
American .is evidently subsidized to
assist in plundering the government,
and it is not earning its money. The
owners of the branch lines will pay
just as little as they have to, but they
must have the road regardless of
price.
CAN'T GO TOO SOON.
Dan Murphy thinks as his success
or must be appointed sooner or later
the appointment might just as well be
made now, and that if he was released
from the duties of the office now he
could take a month's holiday. Dan
is entirely too modest. When he re
tires from office he will have the bal
ance of his life for a holiday, so far
as holding office is concerned. The
arduous duties of the office having
been performed principally by his
assistant, Sebnabel, and in matters of
importance by special attorneys, Dan
had nothing to make him tired ex
cept drawing his salary, and that was
not half as hard as drawing a tobog
gan into the new gold fields. The
truth is, it was a case where a small
man was used to stop a large hole, and
It took considerable padding to make
the fill. United States Marshal
Grady goes out about the same time.
That was a scratch appointment, he
having as much fitness for the office
as h 1 has for a powder house. "We
have no idea whom the president
will appoint as their successors, but
-'any old thing" will be an improve
ment on the present incumbents.
WHAT TO EAT.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer in the Ladies'
Home Journal says: "No diet is
more .healthful than ripe fruit, pro
vided it is properly masticated and
swallowed before or after bread and
butter, but never with it." Our
readers should take warning from this
and when their mouths are filled with
bread and butter not try to crowd in
a clingstone peach or a box of black
berries or a watermelon, or any little
thing of that kind. For the benefit
of the Clondyke contingent we ap
pend another! suggestion of heis in
the line of select dishes tor summer.
She 8ajTs : '
"Fruit should be served in a flat
dish with, if the weather is particlar
ly hot, a little chopped ice sprinkled
over it. Fruit that is very acid
should not "be served too cold.
T. tt7 fl Ciifrir and (tpanm sl,ni,l3 a n
. company the fruit course. In the
place of chops or steaks we may have
eggplant, broiled or fried tomatoes,
panned tomatoes, a dainty omelet
with peas, omelet with asparagus tips
or with parsley, following the fruit.
Corn oysters and corn fritters may
also take the place of meat. Coffee,
tea, chocolate and milk are of course,
in summer as in winter, the break
fast beverages."
W. B. Powell, assistant secretary
of the treasury, has taken the position
that the Dingley tariff bill went into
effect at Miinigbt Friday, and that
all goods dutiable must pay the Ding
ley rates Saturday. Against this rul
ing several of the most prominent im
porters protested. Under the "Wil
son bill the goods arriving on that
day at the port of New York would
have paid a duty of $600,000, but
under the present bill $900,000, caus
ing, the importers say, a loss to them
Of $300,000. Is this true ? Is it not
& fact that the importers will make
their profit on the goods just the
same ? The only difference is that
the duties will go into the United
States treasury instead of going in
the shape of additional profits . into
the pockets of the importers.
It is a pretty safe proposition that
no country editor will have the Clon
dyke fever. "When day after day he
picks up the welcome "exchanges"
and finds nothing in them that he can
scissor, nothing but "Clondyke, Clon
dyke," he growls "t'ell with Clon
dyke,' and tries vainly to get up
something original.

What use is therein eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does
yon more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, tor it will
not be digested. You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will come, and with it a re
lish for food."
"The tired, languid feeling will give
place to'vigor and energy; then you will
put flesh on your boneB and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects -permanent.

Xhe True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Cheif," says : "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, bat never
got the true remedy until we need Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure enre for
Cough's, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.
