KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
IL has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
CO. only, whose name is printed on every
ackagc, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
AZ being well informed, you will a0t
.ept any substitute if offered.

CONTINUOUS SESSION.
For Forty-Eight Hours the Senate
Has Been the Scene of Con-
tinuous Action.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE
weary struggle in the Senate goes on
and very little progress seems to have
been made toward settlement. The
silver men still have the upper hand
and control the situation. The first
intimation Of a weakening Of the re-
peal forces was the decision Of Mr..
Voorhees, to move for recess tonight
from 10 p. m. until II tomorrow.
He reckoned, however, without the
silver men, who announced that they
would not yield the floor to Mr.. Voor-
hees to make the motion and thus he
was obliged to abandon his plan.
Many stories Of compromise were in
the air tonight, but the unqualified
statement Of both sides ID that the
fight now in progress must be decided
before any compromise can be reached
with success.
Secretary Carlisle was again at the
Capitol in consultation with Demo-
cratic Senators in order to keep him
self well informed of the situation.
The hours dragged along until, at
$3.50 O'clock when Mr. Voorhees,, chat
ing under the continued roll-calls the
silver men were forcing, to hold their
tired adversaries on the rack, petu-
lantly arose and demanded to know
OF Mr.. Frye of Maine, who was in the
chair, to what extent the privilege Of
calling for quorum could be abused.
The scene was brilliant one.
The setting Of the fierce struggle in
progress on the floor in the dazzling
glare of the artificial lights was one to
impress the mind and fascinate the
eye. The galleries were banked to
the doors. In the reserved galleries
were many ladies, their bright dresses
adding color to the scene. The press
galleries were also filled to overflow
ing with eager scribes, anxious to
note the first important move on the
Legislative checker board
Thus the session continued up to
$3.50 O'Clock last night, having, at that
hour, been in continuous session AZ
hours, without an intermission. The
time was principally consumed by
Senators Allen, Martin, Dubois, Nor
gan and others, in more or less
lengthy speeches, that of Mr.. Aliens
consuming fourteen hours time. At
$3.50 another Of the constantly recur-
ring suggestions Of "no quorum" was
made, followed by the inevitable roll
call, after which the Senate settled
back into its "long drawn OUT con-
tlnuous session, with no immediate
prospect Of adjournment, after 4e
hours weary struggle.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-10-13

ty in power for a quarter Of a centu-
ry, no colored man has ever represent
ed Northern State in either House
of Congress; no colored man has ever
been elected governor of a Northern
commonwealth, and only one colored
man, McCabe Of Kansas, has ever
been elected to a state Office. Living,
he ought to be exhibited at the
Worlds Fair, and dead, he ought to
be preserved that the world might
have the one ocular proof of the
white Northern Republicans love for
the colored voter. AS an historic
relic, he would create more excite
ment than all the mummies ever
housed in the Egyptian pyramids.
[Laughter.l
North of Mason and Dlxon's line
colored county officials are scarce as
hens teeth. According to Republi-
can philosophy and Republican hui
manitarianism, the negro is good
enough to hold Office in the South
and to vote for white Republicans in
the North, but he has not reached
that state of sublimated grace and
transcendental perfection which fits
him to be voted for by white Repub-
licans at the north. To them is pecu-
liarly applicable that Scripture which
says: "Thou shalt not muzzle the OK
that treadeth out the corn Assum-
ing virtue which they do not pos
sess, and which they do not illustrate
in their own lives, they lecture us be.
cause we do not elect colored Repub.
licans to office, on the same principle
by which Josh Billings declared that
the best place to have boil is on the
other fellow.
AT the distance of 2,0OO miles they
can, with perfect case and utmost pre-
cision, discern the infnitesimal mote
in the Southern Democratic eye, bu
they cannot discover the beam il
their own strabismic optic.
