Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years it has been supposed thai
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucou3 membranes lining the stomach and
expones the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This ia
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

OGDEN MOVEMENT.
Spirit and Purpose of Southern
Education Scheme.
The Ogden riovement Upon the South
and the Underlying Principles Which
Actuate Their New-Born Zeal
flixed Schools and Same Training;
for Blacks as Whites, They Stand
For.
Manufacturers' Hecord, April 1(.
The News-Leader ol Richmond, Va.,
in.au editorial coutainiiur a great
deal of mat ter which the News-Leadev
knows ia not pertinent, expmssessur
prise at the opposition "to the South
ern hiuucational Conference, which
will be held in Richmond this mont h,"
and assumes that the position of the
Manutncturers Jiecord is in aston
ishing contrast to its usual methods
nnd policies."
Reflection on the part of the Xews-
Leuder would demonstrate to it that
its statement involved in the first
quotation is misleading-, and that its
statement in the second quotation is
somewhat the reverse of the facts. It
knows that the chief and successful
purpose of the Manufacturers' Record
lias been the upbuilding- of theSouth,
iml that in pursuit of that task it
has never failed to oppose with all
the energy it possesses any move
ment, within the South or outside of
it, likely to hamper its development.
Strictly in line with that policy has
been its opposition not "to the South
ern rAlih-ationai Lonlerence which
will beheld in Richmond this month"
ot itself, but to the movement
aunched two or three years ago, of
which the conference at Richmond is
but a promotive manifestation. Op
posit ion has bet n and is based upon
I he circumstances of thecompar
itively unknown origin of t lie move
ment.
The design of the movement to en
courage an inclination to look out
side the South for funds to aid in its
pi imarv education, to the dwarfing
of local initiativeandself-dependence.
the unskilmil and erroneous hand
ling of social statistics, resulting in
a circulation of injurious misinforma
tion about the South.
The obvious tendency of the move-
meat to prevent a correction of mis-
takes about the education of the
negro.
There has been nothing of "section
alism" in this opposition. On the
eontrarv, its desire to check appeals '
to sectionalism inherent in theSouth-
ern l'-iUucHtioi! scheme, especially m
the promise of that Scheme to give
new life to the negro question, was
not the least factor in leading the
Manufacturers' Record to oppose it,
while it has permitted no considera
tion of locality to influence its criti
cism oi men and methods connected
with the Scheme. It has felt that in
jing that it has been rendering a
service to the whole country, no mat
ter what might be the feelings of en
thusiasts whose zeal had outstripped
their discretion.
That the Manufacturer s Record's
work during the past year has not
been for naught is shown by the spir
it of inquiry about the Scheme which
ins developed in the South and by
the radical change of attitude in es
sential matters on the part of pro
moters of the Scheme, lhe stampede
toward the Scheme, which in its ear
lier stages took the published atti
tude that opposition to it implied
mossbackism and ignorance, which
would be "crushed under the steam
roller" unless it got out of the way,
has been checked and opportunity
lias been given for a calm and rea
sonable consideration of the project,
which it is sincerely hoped will result
in a diversion of the f 100,000 ayear
for ten years at ita disposal to por
tions of the country where it may do
no harm and may accomplish some
good portions of the country where
real education is very much needed,
especially education about the South
and about the negro. In so far as
the Ogden movements upon the South
have opened the eyes of the excur
sionists to the truth there, they have
been welcomed, and probably will
continue to le welcome, even though
the sense of humor be tickled at the
thought of any similar body of ex
cursionists from the South, if the
thing were possible, making annual
trips to help folks in Connecticut, in
New York, in Pennsylvania, in Illi
nois or in California settle theirpecu
liar social problems. But the South
has hardly developed that kind of
energy.
The welcome will be warmer if "the
great moral show," as one of Mr.
Ogdeifs party characterized it last
year, avoids any occasion of embar
rassment as that noted in the follow
ing incident:
Referring to the statement by a
Southern-born promoter of the
Scheme that Southern men "stand
squarely for the same training for
the blacks as for the whites," a dis
tinguished Virginian wrote nine
months ago, and his article was pub
lished in the Manufacturers' Record
of June 12, 1902:
"Those who undertake to train the
negro to le the white man's .associate
and equal are the worst enemies of
both races, however good or pious
! their purposes may be.
i "If these people mean that they
j are to treat white and black all alike
! as American citizens on one level, I
1 sincerely trust that they will stay
away from us and use their zeal and
their money on their own people and
try the experiment of negro equality
among themselves."
This gentleman described a meet
ing of the excursionists at Hampton
Institute, where he heard one orator
that the erood time was
coming when "there shall be no North,
! no South, no white, no black," and
I another orator declare for ambition
I without limit, and added:
I "While I was trying to play the
f gentleman one of my colored friends
imn.nrted to me that a leading eau
n"t or of the oartv had warned him
that my friendship was not to be re-
upon.
This at once recalled to
me what Dr. Barringer had asserted
about our Northern missionaries:
That they whispered suspicion into
the ears and inspired hate into the
hearts of negroes against the white
man, and fostered antagonism be
tween the two races. Immediately
after this communication I was asked
to sit at the table and eat with the
philanthropists. I excused myself
and came home and tock a bath."
His home is in Richmond, where
the News-Leader is published. To
name him would be to name a gen
tleman who is recognized as a power
in American financial, railroad and
industrial undertakings, one zealous
in religion, morality and education,
and a type of the men who, int'-e
face of appalling difficulties, have
brought the South to its present
plane of prosperity. The Richmond
News-Leader is intimately acquaint
ed with him, and if it has any doubts
about his identity we shall be glad
to whisper the name after the con
ference. A Thoughtful Man.
M. M. Austin of Winchester, Ind., knew
what to do in the hour of need. His wife
had such an unuKual ease of stomaeh and
livfr trouble, physicians eoultl not help her.
He thought of and tried Dr. King's New Life
Tills and she got rt lief at once and was final
ly cured. Only 2."c, at Dorsey's Drug Store.
The North is Learning.
News unl Observer.
The Nort h or at least a larger and
constantly growing larger portion of
it is rapidly learning the truth about
suffrage in the South. It is rare now
to find a well informed man, who has
travelled in the South or come in
contact with the best Southern senti
ment anywhere who is not ready to
declare that it was a mistake to have
given the negro the ballot in 18G8.
It is a notable thing that the North !
suouiu generally oe reauy to maKe
that admission during the life time
of many who participated in the pas
sage of the reconstruction acts. It
does not follow that all who admit
the mistake are agreed as to the
proper wav to remedy it. Some few
would be ready to disfranchise all the
negroes, but not many. The bulk of
those who admit the mistake look to
see it righted by the suffrage amend
ments adopted by North Carolina,
Mississippi and otherSouthern states.
They are doing well to give their
moral support to the sincere efforts
of the South to do the best it can
with the difficult conditions, knowing
that "it is a condition, not a theory"
with which the bouth deals.
The New York .Sun's leading editor
ial of April 20th, openly advocates
the disfranchisement of the negro,
saying:
'The hastv policj' which invested
the emancipated males of African de
scent with the full right of suffrage
was partly the result of supposed
political expediency and partly of an
ignorant overestimate of the possi
bilities of development inherent in
the race.
"The costly experience of more than
a third of a century, the span of a
whole generation, has demonstrated
the tremendous double mistake. The
South has long known it; the North
is fast learning it.
"However far the direful conse
quences of this errorof national judg
ment in 18G9 and 1870 may be suc
cessfully avoided in the twentieth
century by local expedients, in eva
sion of the spirit, if not of the letter,
of the Fifteenth Amendment, the
probability remains that sooner or
later the country will have to face
squarely the question of its repeal.
"Perhaps the sooner the better for
the dignity of the instrument that
now exhibits as a fundamental prin
ciple of the American system a theory
of suffrage impossible of practical ap
plication with safety to the vital in
terests of the states chiefly concerned.
"When even the Supreme Court of
the United States, this very week, in
the case of the clash of the Alabama
constitution with the Fifteenth
Amendment, declines to interfere and
dismisses the appeal for the enforce
ment of the negro's right to the un
restricted franchise, the time cannot
be far off when American common
sense will be ready t o go fearlessly to
the root of the matter.
The Sun may be right, it may be as
sincere as it seems frank, but we do
not believe the South will be wise to
follow its lead or look for a repeal of
the r uteenth Amendment. I his gen
eration will not see that done. It is
a great step when the North appre
ciates the problem and is treating
the action 01 the Southern people m
the spirit that Henry Grady, in his
memorable lsoston speech, begged
they would bring to the considera
tion of the difficult task to which the
South was then and is now conscien
tiously addressing itself.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident is narrated by John
Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was iu
an awful condition. My skin was almost
yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain con
tinually in back and sides, no apetite, grow
ing weaker day by day: Then I was advised
to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the
first bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they robbed the
grave of another victim." Xo one should fail
to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at
Dorsey's Drug Store.

Labor is His Salvation.
Collier's Weekly.
The negro's salvation is ip come
from work. Northern adventurers
wronged him equally with his white
neighbor when they turned his atten
tion to social equality and political
right, wnen his first proper task was
to make himself a useful and neces
sary part of the community in which
he lived. Industrially, the negro has
found the South more friendfy than
the North. The Southerner is glad
to see him in almost any useful em
ployment where the North allows
him to do little except carry dishes
and 6hine boots. We shall lo well
to bother ourselves very little about
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments and contribute what we ?au
afford of our superior wealth to the
educational facilities of the poorer
South. We are beginning to under
stand also, that the education which
teaches a negro to make boots is
better than the education which
tells him what is the capital of Swit
zerland or who was the author of
"Marmion." Nothing is more up
setting, more shallow and delete
rious than "accomplishments" men
tal acquisition which rests on no
solid foundation for usefulness and
necessity. It is fair to admit that in
the direction of sound progress
among the negroes and consequent
ly among the whites, the South has
been distressed and held back by the
mistaken interference of the North,
not only in such gross cases as the
carpet-baggers, the reconstruction
doings of 1868 and the long years of
"bloody shirt," but also by the un
comprehending censure of which she
is still the victum. An attitude like
that taken by Mr. Cleveland is as
friendly and as helpful to the negro
as to the white. lie wisely waves
away remote consequences, which
are all guesswork and futile, and
speaks only of the things which we
can see. However the negro may
stand in the scale of humanity when
he has made for himself this neces
sary foundation of skill and thrift, it
is to his honor already that the man
who taught Mr. Cleveland his doc
trine, who has educated us all, North
and South, to see clearly in the fog
of passion and new conditions, is
himself a negro. The great teacher

Men of All Sorts of Views Can Work
Together.
New York Times.
The meeting in Richmond showed
clearly that there is now no. serious
misunderstanding and that there is
a very general and intelligent inter
est among all classes and in all sec
tions of the South in the work of
education there. Moreover, at that
meeting, almost by accident, the ne
gro question was raised, and it was
very frankly discussed. The result
of the discussion was to make it
plain that the question had nothing
to do with the educational move
ment and would not be allowed to
have. The ground is now free for
men of all sorts of views, as to the
negro question, to work together for
education, and there is no doubt
that they will do so more effectually.

nant race of that section is not 1
bright. Yesterday's decision of the
United States Supreme Court, in the
Alabama case, threw the supplicant'
back upon Congress for redress of his j
wrongs. The outlook is that be will !
find cold comfort there, for the pres
ent. The suggestion made to the dis
franchised Southern negro, when
boiled down, is that about all that
can ho done in his case is for Con
gress to cut down the representation
of the States which disfranchise him.
The State Legislatures have a right
to prescribe conditions for voting,
which, in effect, disfranchise the black
man. The Supreme Court has no
right to force the election officers to
put the debarred voters' names upon
the registration lists; the court can
not take charge of the elections.
Whatever relief is afforded must come
from the political branch of the Gov
ernment. And at this juncture the political
branch of the Government is most
assuredly stacked against the negro.
The political branch means the Re
publican party in power, and that
party is not inclined to load itself
with any more burdens at this stage
of the proceedings.
NEXT CONG HESS WILL NOT TAKE I P
QUESTION.
Viewed iu the cold light of what is
likely to happen, there is no more
prospect of the next Congress taking
up for action the Southern disfran
chisement and apportionment ques
tions than there is that. MarkHanna
will transfer his political allegiance
to William Jennings Bryan.
The disfranchishement and appor
tionment question were fought out
in the last Congress, the decision
then reached to last until after the
next Presidential election. What
will then follow is not now to be said.
The time for tackling the ugly prob
lems was when Judge Crumpacker, of
Indiana, and Representative Moody,
of Massachusetts, and Representa
tive Olmstead, of Pennsylvania, and
a few others called it up before sev
eral caucuses of Republicans of the
House.
Those caucuses still are remember
ed. There was one when a majority
was in favor of recommending a bill
to reduce the representation in Con
gress of the States that disfranchised
voters (and that might include Mas
sachusetts as well as Mississippi) but
the efforts of two men prevented that
majority from registering its will.
Those two men were Representative
Cannon, of Illinois, and Speaker
Henderson. By the time the next
caucus met the majority had shifted.
Another caucus and the duck was
dead. Reduction of representation
was shelved.
It only is fair to say that this ac
tion could not have been maintained
without the sanction of Theodore
Roosevelt. It met his tacit approval
in fact, his avowed approval. The
President agreed with the political
advisers of Mr. Cannon's and Mr.
Henderson's mind. Judge Crum
packer and his confrerees could get
no help from the White House and
gave up the fight.
ON EVE OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The Republican managers will not,
it as said, permit the question to
come up to vex the party in the next
Congress. The Congress will begin
its work upon the eve of a Presiden
tial election, and the acts of the first
session will be scrutinized by the
voters. It is admitted by all that
this Presidential campaign is not to
be a walk-over like the last one. It
will be contested, and the winner will
at least have been aware that he was
iu a fight.
The Republican managers do not
propose, it is said, to handicap the
party m the Aorth and kast with an
outbreak of the race question. The
mere suggestion of reducing South
em representation, or of taking Fed
eral cognizance in anv way of the
Southern elections questions, would,
iu the opinion of the managers,
bring a protest from the Southern
Democrats which would alienate
thousands of Democratic votes,
clinched by Mckinley, from the Re
publicans.
So, with "Uncle Joe' Cannon in the
chair, the C rum packers and the Olm
steads in the House may expect
every time tbev bob up a head to
have the gavel shied at them. They
will hold their peace and bide their
time until after the ides ol Novem
ber 1st, 1904.
Yesterday's decision of the United
States Supreme Court merely cut off
another proposed channel of relief
for the disfranchised negro, by de
priving him of the right to get that
relief through a suit in equity, and
hinted that he should seek Ins re
dress in another quarter.
