the many tributes which have been

Mr. J. W. Pritchard, Wolf Lake, Ind*
writes:
441 am pleased to say that I have been
cured of catarrh of the stomach by Pe-
rnni. I could hardly eat anything that
agreed with me. Before I would get
half through my meal my stomach
would fill with gas causing me much
distress and unpleasant feelings for an
hour or two after each meal. But,
thanks to your Peruna, I am now com-
pletely cured, and can eat anything I
want to without any of the distressing
symptoms. I can now enjoy my meals
as I used So do, and it is all due to Dr.
llartman and his wonderful medicine,
Peruna.
44 It has been one year since I wa
cured, and I am all O. K. yet, so I know
I am cured."—J. W. Pritchard.
Dyspepsia is a very common phase of
summer catarrh. A remedy that will
cure catarrh of one location will cure it
anywhere. Peruna cures catarrh wher-
ever located. That it is a prompt and
permanent cure for catarrh of the
stomach the above letters testify.

ROOSEVELT AND ISSUES.
In the March Critic, Mr. Roosevelt
makes, among others, these very in-
teresting remarks:
"It is of course the merest truism
to say tha4 a party is of use only so
far as it serves the nation, and that
he serves his party best who serves
| the nation best. In 1856 and In 18«0.
the party was of use because it stood
agaiinst the extension of slavery; in
1864, because fit stood against all
slavery as well as against the destruc-
tion of this union; in 1868, because it
S'ood against those who wished to
undo the results of the war. These
are now dead issues; but we can
learn how to face the live issues of
the present by studying in good faith
how men faced these dead issues of
the past."
And this leads Mr. Roosevelt to con-
sider the fine type of statesmanly
character which tells for tnie great-
ness; mentioning Lincoln. We can
not help reading between the lines, or
at least guessing between the lines, a
vaguely attempted vindication of Mr.
Roosevelt course in stirring up anew
the negro question, justifying it upon
the plea of a great: statesmanly mis-
sion, says the St. Louis Republic.
I Just what principle of statesman-
ship extending throughout the long
j pas: history to which he refers could
be found to square with bis policy of
flirting with the negro convention vote
J through the door of hope is by no
' means obvious.
! We assume of course that Mr. Roose-
! velt in saying that "we can learn how
!to face the live issues of the present"
did not have tariff revision and the
i trusts in mind. Mr. Roosevelt has
i fac3d both of these issues backwards
ever sintfe he became impressed with
the possibility of his nomination. It
; would be difficult to conceive Mr.
! RoOsevelt's facing "live issues of the
! present" and ait the same time look-
Sing into the past for consolation—
necessarily he would have his back
I turned to the live issues.
| Nevertheless there are some good
lessons in the past, incidentally just
prior to '76 Mr, Tilden demonstrated
what a mere private individual might
do in the way of cleaning out corrup-
tion. A Tildeni in Mr. Roosevelt's
place now would probably face the
postoffice department standing witu
his heels in Mr. Roosevel's toe-prints.
And there have been numerous
s atesmanly examples in the pa t of
what honesty and vigor could do to
| monoply and in the way of proper
, tariff regulations. There have been
many great men to all times, who,
'when they took a position or proclaim-
. ed a principle, stuck to 'it, but his-
itery furnishes few instances of men
who announced a readiness to die for
: free trade, or as Mr. Roosevelt did in
j later years, promise to effect tariff
revision and then when the t.me
came for action capitulated to a set of
money-grubbing politicians, declaring
,he tariff to be no issue.
