THE POPULAR APPROVAL

OF the now famous Syrup Of Figs Is
the most efficacious and agreeable
preparation ever offered to the world As
q cure for Habitual Constipation, Bill
iousncss, Indigestion and kindred ills,
has been won by the wise plan pursued
by the California Fig Syrup lCompany.
Knowing that any remedy truly bens-
fetal in its effect on the system, and at
the same time plearant to the taste, will
meet with a rapid sale, the Company,
through its agent for Caldwell, Little
Cox & Co., gives away bottles free OF
charge. Try it and judge for yourself.
Large bottles fifty cents and one dollar.

The Weather.

This IL prolific theme and one that
our exchanges are ringing the changes
on. While the mercury is rafting
around zero to the east and west Of us,
the weather here has been all that is
desirable for this time of year. Scarce
ly day has passed in tho last twelve
that snow or rain has not fallen, to bs
sure, but at the same time there has
been no cold. A crust has formed on
the snow that now lies on the ground,
but cattlemen have no fears Of danger,
saying the animals are good enough
rustlers to got along. Stock, however,
are none too secure. 1t Is almost time
for tbs annual freeze up and il the snow
has not gone by that time the cattle in
terest about hore will sustain great
loss. Small owners have gathered in
their herds, but this is impossible for
the owner OF hundreds. The next two
weeks will toll the story.

Alteration of Plans.

About m hours work on enclosing

done last Sunday when orders came by
wire to stop right there. Somebody in
authority had condemned it as now

A delegation Of Louisiana sugar plan
tiers. al present in Washington. have given
the Democratic party leaders 70 under
stand that if that part Of the Morrison
tariff bin which relates to sugar is passed
Louisiana cannot BE depended on to as
sist I'm electing a Democratic President.
In other words, the sugar planters say
they Will vote for the Republican candi-
date unless the Democratic party adopts
a sugar tariff that is satisfactory to them.
Of course these gentlemen have the right
to vote with the Republicans, but if they
act with that party they ought to openly
abandon all connection with the Demo
cratic party. They cannot be permitted
to dictate the policy Of the party.
They would Of course. like to have
very high tariff on sugar and
a very low tariff on all the articles which
they are required to have in their sugar
making business. If an exception
were made in their interests manufacture
ers would have a right 10 demand nigh
protective duty. There would be an end
at once TO tariff reform. But what do the
sugar planters expect to gain by desert
ing the Democratic party: Do they eX-
pect that the Republicans VIII insure
them high sugar tariff: The reduction
was made last Congress by Republic
cans. and had it not been for the Demo
Gratis the reduction would have been far
greater than it was. Mr.. Hiscock, a Re-
publican-leader in Congress, a few days
ago.in an interview in the New York HeT-
ali. said that he favored putting sugar
on the free list. or at least of removing
one-half the present duty. 1t is fair TO
presume that Mr.. HiscOck spoke the SEN
timents Of his party. The sugar planters
could gain nothing by voting with the
Republicans unless bargain was made
bv which the Republican party agreed, in
the event Of success in the national con-
test. to maintain the present sugar tariff
If Louisiana voted tor the Republican
electors. 1t is probable that the sugar
planters could deliver the State TO the Re-
publican party, because, on full vote,
the Democratic majority is not very
great, but it is not at all probable that
they will enter upon any such undertake
ing. All things considered, their inter-
ests stand a better chance Of being pro-
tected by the Democrats than by the Re-
publicans. The talk they are now indulg-
ing in is a species Of bulldozing that is as
amusing as it is impOtent.

CnmnuIsorY PiIota2e.

A very interesting argument is going
on before the House Committee on Ship
ping relative to the bill to repeal com
pulsory pilotage. The pilots of different
ports and the ship owners associations
and ship owners are represented by attor-
neys. The chief point made thus far by
the ship owners associations is that if
compulsory photage is continued sailing
vessels will be driven away from all Am
erican ports. Mr.. Richardson, who APP
peared before the committee for the New
England Ship Owners Association, said
that a sailing vessel drawing - feet had
to pay to pilots Ss4 to get in and out of the
port Of Boston. and that the pilot fees in
the course of year amounted to one
quarter part Of the net earnings Of yes
sci. The fee is often paid when no SER
Vice is rendered, because masters, in
many instances, are capable Of taking
their vessels in and out Of harbors, and,
therefore. decline the service Of the State

leans pilots, made an able argument
against the bill. 'Being familiar with the
dangers Ofthe navigation fthe Mississippi
river between New Orleans and the Gulf
he was able to make out a strong case for
his clients. The arguments for and
against the bill viii occupy several more
days. As yet, there are no speculations
respecting the committees report. 1t is
certain, however. that strong influences
will be brought to bear on Congress in IA
vor OF the bill. The fight against the pi-
lots has been going on for a good while.
They have been able to maintain their pO-
sition not so much because of &uy infu-
ence they possess as because Of the 'act
that they are a useful and deserving class.
Their cause has merit, and Tor that rea-
son they Will always have friends in Con-
.gress. 1t is questionable, however,
whether they will be able to resist the in
creasing pressure against compulsory
pilotage.
