GIddness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why il is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Ii is therefore
all important, in order to get its belIc-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. olly, and sold by all rep
utable druggist.
II IN the enjcs-- snt of good health,
and the system f. = yular, then laxa-
tives or other rjrne Lies are not needed.
IL afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most slxillful
physicians, but Il in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

THE PACIFIC OCEAN TRADE.

The Chamber of CONNER of this City
has recently addressed two memorials to
Congress relating to the development of
the commerce of the Pacific Ocean. One
OF these appealed for action in behalf of
the Pacific Ocean mail steamship service
under the National flag, and the other for
a speedy beginning of the work of con-
structing the Nicaragua Canal.
Both of these memorials deserve the full
support not only of the California dele
CATION in Congress, but of the entire
people of the State. 1t is time that San
Francisco and California should begin
seriously to enter upon the great work OF
developing our commerce westward and
southwark. We have reached what may
be called crisis in the commercial his
tory of the Pacific. England and Japan
are striving for supremacy there, and if
we do not enter into the competition at
once, We may soon fall so far behind in
the race that it will be difficult TO make
headway in the future.
The British Government has granted
liberal subsidies for steamship lines start
ing from Vancouver and Australia to
trade between those places and with the
Orient, and the Japanese Government has
entered the field with modern steamships,
| cheap labor and large subsidies. These
| contestants are neither of them to be des-
| pised. If our Government sits idle and
leaves everything to individual enterprise,
even the great natural advantages Of San
francisco and other American Pacific
ports may be overcome by our more active
rivals and the trade of the ocean taken
| away from US.
We may expect, of course, considerable
opposition from the Eastern States. Com
paratively few people in that section
understand the already vast ana rapidly
growing trade of the Pacific. Our dele.
cations TO Congress and our Chambers of
Commerce will have to carry out veri-
table campaign of education on this sub
ject. This will require considerable time
and demand the exercise of no little
energy, patience and instruction. 1t is

AN EXTRA SESSION.

The two subjects of National politics
that now mainly interest the people are
the composition of the Mckinley Cabinet
and the probability of an extra session ol
Congress, to he called carly in March.
Concerning the first of these, it is useless
to speculate, since the selection of the
Cabinet will depend largely upon the per-
sonal choice of the President, and until
he declares his mind nothing positive can
be known about it. The second. however,
is matter which concerns the public al
large, and the expression of popular senti-
ment will have much to do in determining
the decision concerning it.
That there are good reasons against hold
ing an extra session is beyond question,
but, as Shakespeare says, "Good reasons
must pertorce give way to better" Judg-
ing by the present outlook it appears that
the better reasons are on the side OF as.
sembling the next Congress as soon as
President Mckinley takes his seat.
1t is true that there is fair chance oi
passing the Dipgley bill at this session Of
Congress, and that the bill would probably
give us a tariff which would raise sufi.
clent revenues TO meet the expenses of the
Government. The gain thus resulting
would be great beyond question. BY
putting an end to the deficits in the
National revenues we would remove the
gold reserve from danger, and go fal
toward settling some OF the most pressing
OF our monetary problems. The people,
however, expect more than that. They
expect a prompt return TO a thorough
protective system, and that can be effected
only by calling the next Congress to as
semble as speedily as the law permits.
The evils of the Wilson-Gorman tariff dc
not consist solely in the deficits of Ma
tional revenue. They weigh upon every
American industry and interfere with the
extension of American enterprise. The
welfare of American capital and the wages
of American labor depend upon protec
tion. 1t was for that the people voted as
much as for sound money. They desire
that system restored at once and COM
pletely.
The Dingley bill for the purposes of rev.
enue may do as temporary makeshift
but it will not be adequate to the occa
sion. The pledge of the Republican Ma.
tional platform was for protection to
American industry, and that pledge will
not be fully kept until the protective sys
tenn is made perfect by making it uni.

TIE ASSESSORS CONVENTION

The Assessors convention, which has
been called to meet in Sacrament on the
23d OF this month for the purpose of de-
vising more equable system of taxation,
is one which should engage the attention
OF the people generally. Although it is
Assessors only who are to meet, never
the.ess every taxpayer is concerned in
what they will do, and therefore the SUBJ
iect of taxation should be generally dis
cussed in order that the Assessors may go
10 the convention with a knowledge of
public sentiment and the public desire on
the subject.
To devise scientific system of taxation
is perhaps the most difficult probe m that
devolves upon a Legislature. 1t is per-
haps for this reason that legislators sell
dom attempt it. There is perhaps not a
country in the word where really fair
and impair tial system of leyving taxes ex-
lists. We cannot hope to attain such a
system here. But certainly we can, with
the exercise of ordinary sagacity, make
great Improvements on the lack of system
and inequities which prevail now.
The question is one which might well
engage the attention of Chambers OF Com
merce ard Boards of Trade as well as the
Assessors. Many men engaged in those
associations have ut various times had
their attention called to defects in our
revenue laws, and not few of them have
given considerable thought to the subject
representations made from such bodies
! would undoubtedly have weight with the
| members of the coming convention. and
| might go lar to assist them in arriving at
feasible solution of the problem.
The time for discussing the subject is
| short. and it should therefore receive con-
sideration at once. If proper plan can
be devised by the convention there will be
good prospect of having it adopted by
the Legislature during the coming winter
session. 1t will be seen therefore thai
the time is most propitious for dealing
with the subject.
1t is not mere debating-society topic.
1t is not to be treated ideally. 1t has be-
come a question of practical politics, and
must be considered in that light. Let the
taxpayers, Boards of Trade and Cham Der.
of Commerce therefore give their earnest
attention to this question and lend the
| Assessors all the aid in their power to sue
cessfuliy accomplish the task they have
undertaken.

A SECRETARY OF MINES.

The position taken by THE CALL in sup
port of the resolution of the Miners As
sociation requesting the appointment of a
Department of Mines by the National
Government to be presided over by an
officer of Cabinet rank has naturally at
tracted no little attention. The subject is
an important one and should be followed
up until the desired official has been OBJ
tanned and due recognition given to the
great industry of our mining men.
THE CALL intends to follow it up, as is
shown by the interviews published this
morning. and Will give to the movement
all the assistance within the power of the
press. No one can question the value of
such an official and the only obstacle that
is likely to be found in the way of bring
ing about the appointment is that of the
natural conservatism of Governments.
This conservatism can be overcome by q
resolute expression of public opinion, and
it will be our object to give that opinion
expression in its fullest and most forcible
form.
Mining is the greatest interest at this
time of that wide region of our Republic
known as the Greater West. Different
States have different industries, which in
their localities are not inferior to mining,
but taken as a whole, over the wide area
extending from the Rocky Mountains to
the Pacific Ocean, there is no single inuus-
try like that which now seeks recognition
in the Cabinet of the Nation.
1t is not in its extent only, how
ever, that the mining industry ranks
as an important one to the Nation.
To greater degree perhaps than
any other industry engaged in the
production of raw material it in
wolves scientific processes and costly
plants. It is furthermore an industry
which is being continuously improved,
and it is one, therefore, in which the
American operator should be kept by his
Government thoroughly posted on every
experiment made and every success &C.
complished by miners in other countries.
These arguments need no elaboration in
the West. The facts are well understood
throughout all the mining States. The
only thing required is that urging which
will be necessary to rouse the people to
vigorous. united and persistent effort
Let the members of Congress from the
Greater West resolve that among the
things they will achieve in the next Con-
gress, or possibly this winter, will be an
act providing for the appointment of q
Secretary of Mines and Mining. Let the
people of all the great mining States
through their officials, their commercial
and industrial associations. through mass
meetings of citizens and through the un
tiring energies of the press, work together
in support OF their Congressman. Unity
OF action will attain success.

THE CHAMPION OF IT'S PARTY
Berkeley Herald.


AS the smoke of battle clears away, we shall
be able, by degrees, to anaiyze the great vic
tory just won by the Republican party, and TO
accord TO the different forces and agencies the
praise and glory which are their due.
And when it comes to an award of party
gratitude for ceaseless vigilance and heroic
endeavor. for tireless energy and most efficient
work in general the Republicans of Cali
fornia will gladly give general need of graft
tude and praise to the San Francisco CALL for
the great battle in which IL was the recognized
journalistic champion of the party.
throughout the late campaign-from the
hour OF McKinley's nomination until mis- elec-
tion was known fact-THE CALLS work, even
TO the smallest detail, was thoroughly admir-
able. 1t has gained for the paper new friends
by the thousands, and the result will be felt
in manner which shall carry Joy to the heart
and Mckinley sound money to the pocket of
the publisher.
Henceforth, when you speak OF Califor MAS s
great Republican newspaper you mention
The CALL.
