FOR THE SUPREME BENCH.

The convention, lately held in
Milwaukee, nominated Judge
Chas. M. Webb, Of Grand Rapids,
for the place made vacant on the
supreme bench by the retirement
Of Justice Cole. No better choice
could have been made, and the
manner of the choice is entirely
satisfactory to the Torch. We
have always thought that the
judiciary should be kept out of
politics, and this nomination, made
by men Of all shades of political
belief is not only a compliment to
Judge Webb, but it is right in line
of non-partisan judiciary.
We have known Judge Webb dur
ing all of our active business life.
When he was simply practicing
attorney, then his eminent fairness,
legal ability and thorough know
ledge of the law, coupled with an
enquiring and ever active mind,
secured for him the office of cir
cult judge. During all the long
years that he has served in this
capacity, no judge ever filled the
place with more dignity, more
wisdom or more impartiality.
That he will be elected is be-
yond a doubt. In this county es-
pecially, the vote for him will be
practically solid, as we doubt not
it will be throughout the old Cir

JUDGE WEBB RECOMMENDED.

"zo tie Electors Of the State at
HISc0nSin-A justice of the SUI
preme court Of the state of Wis
consin is to be elected April 4th
next The selection of a new men,
Der for this court is an important
duty looking to the maintenance
Of the character and ability which
have given to its decisions the
highest respect at home and
abroad. He should be chosen for
his known qualifications as a jurist.
The method of nomination for this
office by the political conventions
has been abandoned for many
years, and with excellent results,
one Of which is the we'll recognized
freedom Of the court from parti-
sanship.
In order to ascertain the general
sense of the bar as to the choice of
candidate it seemed proper and
necessary to have a convention at
which the entire bar of the state
could be represented. Such con-
vention was called and met in
Milwaukee, Feb. 10, with an at
tendance Of ESQ representatives, the
largest and most representative
convention or assemblage of the
bar ever held in our state. Upon
the first vote, made formal and
unanimous, Judge. Charles NJ.
Webb Of the Seventh Circuit was
named as the choice of the con-
vention. This selection, SO made
with unanimity and heartiness,
constitutes an assurance to the
people Of the state from the great
body Of his professional brethren
that Judge Webb will bring to this
exalted place the qualifications Of
tried and able jurist.

C1nSc uucEuY The WaVS and
Means Committee VIII Make
'Ehe BiH Public Earlier Than
Wuq Expcctcd At E1Irs'.

WASulNGroN, Nov. 15.-Thc new tariff
bill will probably be made public at a
much earlier date than has generally
bc,n anticipated. The notes of appre-
heuson which have been sounded since
the late election have warned the rcso-
lutte tariff rciormers of the party that
the chances Of party succ,s and discip-
line depend upon boldncss and prompt.
tude in defining a policy, and all haste
consistent with dellbera:ion is being
made by the Democratic members to
compl &c the bill and give it to the coun.
try.
1t is already definitely settled that the
committee will not wait for the ap-
proval Of caucus before presenting the
measure to the people. While some
OF the Democratic members of the
committee think that the bill might
be strengthened in the House bv first
gaining tine approval of the party
caucus, the majority feel that the sub
mission OF the bill to the caucus would
only lead TO lntcrmnable wrangling and
possible create a party discussion which
might seriously cmharrass the measure
IN its consideration later in the House.
The protests against the free list are
still coming in, the most emphatic ones
now being from the iron ore and coal
men.

Ever since little Ruth Cleveland
arrived at the age of vaccination, bap-
tism and photography, usually concur
rent periods, the leading photograph
ers of the country have had ambitions
to try their cameras on the little girl.
Whenever she appeared in public a
whole battery of kodaks was awaiting
an oppOrtune moment for a ''snap
shot" Mrs. Cleveland has wanted a
good picture by Mr.. lockwood, the
New York Photographer, and had long
ago promised him, through Mrs. La
mont, that he should have the
opportunity.
Feeling that ''hope long deferred
maketh the heart sick" Mr. lockwood
recently reminded Mrs. Lamont of her
promise. Mrs. Lamont replied. I've
kept my promise, and you personally.
but unknOwingly, posed little Ruth,
made number of excellent negatives,
and the family are delighted. A wo-
man has outwitted you!'
Mr.. lockwood has the satisfaction
of knowing that among the hundreds
of children whom he photographed in
October and November. one was little
Ruih Cleveland. But the mega tiveS
are under the inviolable pledge of
private pictures and would not be
published if he knew which was the
portrait of the little one in whom so
many thousands are interested.

Where wake fitness Has Its Birth.

Intelligent physicians are regarding with an
eye less and less favorable the use of narcotics
While these are used in extreme cases to aIforl
greatly needed temporary relief, professional
efforts are far more generally directed now a
days than formerly, to means OF building up
the nervous system as the basis of its healIhful
quietude. This lie one reason why Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has received the sanction of
physicians as nervine tonic Indigestion un-
relieved is the fruitful father of insomnia, and
the relief of the parent malady by the Bitters
is usually followed by a return to tranquil
sleep. Overwork, mental enxiety. sedentary
habits impair digestion and wea ken the nerves.
The Bitters strengthens them by renewing the
ability to digest and assimilate the food. Be-
sides this, it BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the liver
and kidneys. Biiousness, constipation, rheu-
matism and debility are remedied by this
sterling medicine

Physicians ere not inclined to recon-
mend self medication to the laity.
Yet there is one need, says the Ameri-
can Analyst, which they are almost
unable to supply. We refer to the
family laxative" The family ply
stefan is able to prescribe for the most
complicated and obscure of maladies
and yet is often puzzled to know just
what to give when asked for a remedy
which can be kept in the house for
family use as laxative, that shall be
effective, free from danger, and not I'M
pleasant to take. When absent on our
summer vacation we were asked by four
different parties, representing as many
families, what we thought of the
Syrup of Figs" Not one word did we
volunteer on the subject, and we were
somewhat surprised to find that there
was this small token of the very gen.
eral use Of that preparation. These
parties said they derived more benefit
from it and found it more pleasant to
take than anything of the kind they
had ever used. The simple question
with them was, is it dangerous com
pound? We informed them that it's
active ingredient was preparation of
SIENNA, and that it was entirely free
they volunteered the informa ton that
they should continue to keep it in the
house.
The therapeutical properties of SIENNA
are so well known that comment on
this seems unnecessary. 1t might be
well to notice. however. that Bartho-
low says it is "a very safe and service
able cathartic," and that it is ''highly
priced as a remedy for constipation. .
He also makes the important observa-
ton that it's use ''is not followed byin-
festival torpor and constipation.
The simple truth of the matter is. we
have altogether too few preparations
which we can recommend 10 our families
aS effective laxativeS But the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup company has one of
the most desirable combinations for
this purpose with which we are famil-
lar The Fig Syrup company gives to
the profes sion the composition of this
preparation, therefore there is no secret
about it; the persons who use this laxa-
tive speak in the highest terms about
it; and we are pleased to notice that a
large number of physicians are pre-
scribing it.
Viewed from the narrowest and most
selfish standpoint the physician will
lose nothing by recommending such a
preparation as Syrup of Figs to his pa
tients: while viewed from the highest
standpoint of doing the best possible
by those who place themselves in our
care, we would say the profession can
not do better than give their indorse-
ment to such n preparation
