Washington corr-((on'Unt to Republic.
Why is it that Democrats and Re
publicans are bo different? Why is
it that a Republican can do without
being eeriouhlj criticised by bis fel
lows that which would eternally
damn a Democrat? Republicans and
Democrats are of tL tame people;
they are of the same race; they are
neighbors and friend3, oftentimes
iindred. They are reared in the
game atmosphere. In private busi
ness they are generally guided by
the eame purposes and inspired by
the same motives. Yet in the con
duct of public afl'dirs they are radi
cally different.
Take, for instance, the case of the
lion. Charles N. Clark of Hannibal,
Mo. Mr. Clark, as a member of the
River and Harbor Committee of the
House of Representatives, undoubt
edly neglected the interests of his
State in order, it is but fair to as
sume, that he might benefit himself
individually. Mr. Clark is the owner
of a body of land in the State of Illi
nois that be reclaimed from the
Mississippi River. Ac a member of
the Committee on Rivers and Har
bors he succeeded in obtaining an
appropriation of $50,000 for the
Drotection of hia own lands from
ft.
overflow.
Although these extracts have been
printed before in The Republic it
will help adorn a tale to print them
attain. In the sketch of his career,
prepared by himself for the Con
gressional Directory, Mr. Clark ob
serves:
"In 1870 became interested in the
Mississippi River bottom lands in
Illinois, opposite the city of Hanni
bal, and immediately began the work
of their reclamation. Procuring the
necessary legislation of the Illinois
Legislature he began active work of
erecting the Snv Island levee in
1872, and completed it in 1874, re
claiming over 100,000 acres of land
from overflow by the river; and has
been engaged in farming these lands
aince the above date."
In the River and Harbor bill, as
reported from the Committee of
which Mr. Clark is a member, and
subsequently passed by the House
under gag rules, and with only 40
minutes for debate and no opportu
nity to present amendments, was this
provision:
'For protection from eroeion of
the east bank of the Mississippi Riv
er along and in front of the Sny Is
land levee in the counties of Adams,
Pike and Calhoun, in the State of
Illinois, by revetment work $50,000."
It is but fair to say, perhaps, that
Mr. Clark considered himself partic
ularly honest and guilty of no im
propriety whatsoever in securing
this appropriation from Congress
for his own personal benefit. We
ran at least concede this much to
him. That the Republicans of the
First Missouri Congressional Dis
trict did not think Mr. Clark guilty
of an irregularity is evidenced by
their unanimous renomination of him
after his action as a member of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee was
made known. What would the Dem
ocrats of Missouri do under sub
stantially similar circumstances and
conditions? I have no doubt that
the Missouri Democrat who would
make the record for himself that
Mr. Clark has made would be instant
ly driven from public life in disgrace.
Why can Republicans do with im
punity what would disgrace Demo
crats for all time?
Sometimes the most careful
women are the most careless. Many
a woman bundles herself up, to keep
out sickness wheu she is neglecting
the very worst sickness that can
come to a woman. She allows a
Blight disorder to become worse, to
slowly sap her vitality The little
pain and the other slight indications
of trouole seem to her unimportant
She goes on, with increasing Buffer

Conference to Room Bland' Prritleii
tial Nomination.
Sedalia, Mo., April 1G. A call will
soon be issued for a conference in
St. Louis of Missouri Democratic
leaders to advise means for giving
definite direction to the movement
formally started by the State Con
vention last night to nominate Hon.
R. P. Bland for President.
Mr. Bland slipped out of the con
vention hall soon after his remark
able speech last night, which was
tinged with an earnest protest
against the hearty and enthusiastic
indorsement given him for Presi
dent, and caught a midnight train
for St. Louis.
The purpose of the propojed con
erenee is to select committees to go
into other States, East, West, North
and South, as Bland missionaries,
and to raise money necessary to pay
their expenses. As all the world
knows, Mr. Bland hasn't a cent out
side of the small farm on which he
lives, and if his friends do not con
tribute the money for the vigorous
campaign which it is desired to
make for him, then the movement
will have to be left to its own natur
al momentum.

Bank Robbed of Silver.
St. Joseph, Mo., April 15
-The
Farmers' Bank at Maitland was rob
bed last night by three masked men
who blew the safe open and secured
$1,000 in silver. The robbers stole
a team and wagon and hauled the
silver away.
The robbers arrived at the bank
at 11 o'clock last night and made a
prisoner of Fred Collison,who rooms
in the building. The robbers bound,
gagged him and carried him down
to the banking room, which they en
tered through a rear door. They
worked for more than an hour on the
safe, but did not succeed in reach
ing the large sum of money inside.
The silver had been left in the
outer part of the safe, and the steel
chest resisted their efforts. The sil
ver was loaded in a wagon stolen
from Edward Pinkston. James E.
Weller, cashier of the bank, came to
St. Joseph today on the track of the
robbers. He has evidence that they
belong here and are the same men
who looted the bank at Savannah a
few weeks a
"I have never had a day's sickners
in my life," said a middle man the
other day.
"What a comfort it would be,"
sighs some poor invalid, "to be in
his place for a year or two." Yet
half of the invalids we see might be
just as healthy as he, if they would
only take proper care of themselves,
eat proper food and digest it.
It's so strange that Buch simple
things are overlooked by those who
want health.
Food makes health.
It makes strength and strength
wards off' sickness. The man who
had never been eick was strong be
cause he always digested his food,
and you could become the same by
helping your stomach to work as
well as his.
It will make you strong and
healthy by making the food you eat

Burlington Junction, Mo., April
15. The body of Charles E. Dyche,
proprietor of the Commercial Hotel,
who disappeared March 21, has been
found floating in the Nodaway river,
a mile and a half northwest of the
town. A coroner's jury was at once
impaneled, and the verdict returned
was that .Dyche had met his death
while wandering about in a dement
ed condition. Deceased was 33 years
old, and left a wife and two children.
Consultations by Mrs. Dyche with
clairvoyants, astrologers and trance

disappearance surrounded the affair
in an atmospere of mystery, which

and is in fact, the great enemy of

colds in the head almost invariablv
precede catarrh,causing an excessive

follow, such as bad breath, severe

Forty mounted Spanish guerrillas
supported by 60 infantry, went out
under a recent order, for night oper

the rebels. Aguirre heard of their
plans and placed his men in ambush
and awaited the arrival of the Span

fire, completely routed. Twenty
nine were killed and two wounded.
The execution of the death pen
