Glddness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-Eentle 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 a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it 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. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedev everywhere Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

to Change style of Hair Cut.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 9.--The
steamer Gaelic, from Hong Kong and
Yokohama, brought the following
advices: OF the many changes intro
huced in rapid succession in Corea, the
recent adoption of the western method
If hair dressing has attracted the most
attention. The king recently issued a
proclamation urging the sacrifice OF
the queues and set the example by
having his own hair cut The prince
royal followed suit. The proclamation
created CONSERVATION in both official
and private circles. The minister of
education resigned and returned to his
country home when his protests at the
innovation were disregarded. Many
lesser government officials also resigned
rather than sacrifice their locks. The
proclamation excited alarm among the
people at large, but ut each Of the four
gates of the capital constables are
posted to await the coming of country
people to compel them to submit to the
BARRIERS who are in waiting for their

generally adopted by those who lose
their queues. In the rural districts
the people have broken into open
revolution. Many local governors
have resigned their posts owing. to their
unwillingness to cut off their queues.
Several hundred people have fed tothe
mountains and as many more are under
arms preparing to attack the Corean
troops The rebellion in Forlnosa is

taken up it's position at Tou-Wei and
another has assembled at Canphor
Mount. The troops are confident OF
defeating the rebels, but cannot attack
them in their mountain retreats.
YOUNG WOMAN IN 1T NOW.
Pearl Bryan's Murder Confessed by .
Former Friend of the Girl.
CINCINNATI, February lit is not
known where Pearl Bryan was muir
dered, how she was murdered, or when
she was murdered. The head has not
vet been found 1t has been believed
that she was murdered Friday night,
January 81, but now the theory is held
that she was murdered on Thursday
night And now comes the story of
May Lulu Hollingsworth, of Indian
apolis, that she was with Pearl in
indianapolis when the latter bought
drugs with suicidal intent, etc. AS
Miss Hollingsworth is considered as an
intimate friend of jackson, the detec-
tives have paid special attention to the
indianapolis end of the story, while
the search for the head and all possible
information was kept up by the officers
in Cincinnati, at Covington, Newport
and elsewhere. 1t is believed that the
trials of the murderers will be in
Kentucky and the trials of accomplices
in abortion in Indiana and Ohio, and
even then the mystery may not be
cleared up Wal1ing and Jackson are
each endeavoring to place the guilt
upon the other.
CINCINNATI, February 13.-The coro-
ner's jury in the Pearl Bryan case find
that cocaine was administered to her;
that she was decapitated while still
alive and at the place where the body
was found, and holds Scott Jackson
and Alonzo NJ Walling accountable
for her death.

security. business stn bilitx. no real
prosperity where the policy of the gov
.ernment as to that question is at all a
matter of doubt. Gold is the one STAN
dard of value among all enlightened COM
mercial nations. All financial transac-
tons of whatever character, all business
enterprises, all individual or corporate in
vestments are adjusted to it.
An honest dollar, worth 100 cents ev.
erywhere, cannot be coined out of So
cents worth of silver, plus legislative
fat. Such debasement of our currency
would inevitably produce incalculable loss,
appalling disaster, and national dishonor.
1t is fundamental principle in coinage,
recognized and followed by all the states
men of America in the past, and never
yet safely departed from, that there can
be only one basis upon which gold and
silver may be concurrently coined as
money, and that basis is equality, not in
weight, but in the commercial value of
the metal contained in the respective
coins. This commercial value is fixed BY
the markets of the world, with which the
great interests of our country are neces-
sarily connected by innumerable business
ties which cannot be severed or ignored.
Great and self-reliant as our country is,
it is great not alone within its own bor-
ders and upon it's own resources, but

Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy and go
hand in hand. Democratic rule has reck-
lessly struck down both, and both must
be re-esta blished. Protection for what
we produce: free admission for the nee
essaries of life which we do not produce;
reciprocal agreemnts of mutual interests
which gain open markets for us in re-
turn for our open market to others. Pro.
lection builds up domestic industry and
trade, and secures our own market for
ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign
trade and finds an outlet for our sur
plus.
Sugar Attitude Stated.
We condemn the present administra-
ton for not keeping faith with the sugar
producers of this country. The Repub-
lican party favors such protection as will
lead to the production on American soil
of all the sugar which the American peo-
pie use, and for which they pay other
countries more than 500, OO0, 600 annual

Dl7onal credit. which has thus far fortn-
nately resisted every assault upon it,
must and will be upheld and strength
ened. If sufficient revenues are provided
for the support Of the government there
will be no necessity for borrowing money
and increasing the public debt.
Policy 10 ut Fault.
"The complaint of the people is not
against the administration for borrowing
money and issuing bonds to preserve the
credit of the country. but against the
ruinous policy which has made this nec-
essary. 1t is but an incident, and nee
essary one. to the policy which has been
inaugurated. The inevitable effect of
such policy is seen in the deficiency of
the United States treasury except as it is
replenished by loans, and in the distress
of the people, who are suffering because
of the scant demand for either their labor
or the products of their labor. Here is
the fundamental trouble, the remedy for
which is Republican opportunity and
duty.
During all the years of Republican
control following resumption there was
steady reduction of the public debt,
while the gold reserve was sacredly
maintained and our currency and credit
preserved without depreciation, faint, or

We favor the creation of a National
Board of Arbitration to settle and adjust

We believe in an immediate return to
the free homestead policy of the Repub-
lican party and urge the passage by Con.

measure which has already passed the
House and is now pending in the Senate.

BRYAN AND WATSON.

The Populst convention IN 81.
Louis last week endorsed VIM. Bryan,
the Democratic nominee for President,
and nominated Thos. Z. Watson, OF
Georgia, for Vice President. The SEN
,iment in favor of Bryan was over
whelming, Notwithstanding the stub
born opposition from the minority
who favored a straight ticket. Re-
fusal TO indorse the Chicago ticket IN
full was done i, is said in order TO pre-
serve the Populist party organization.
But the action Of the ST. Louis Conven-
ton complicates matters still more.
We fail 10 see how the cause OF silver
will be helped by endorsing Bryan.
With three electoral tickets in the field
1t will simply be playing into the
hands Of Mckinley.
1.-THE popular vote elected The Pres
ldent it would be different. To Il
lustra,e: Say there are 1000 votes
cast in a given State for the three
leading parties. Bryan and Sewall re-
ceive $1,000, Bryan and Watson, o5,-
900, and Mckinley and Hobart the
b,llnce, $4,000. Although Bryan
would have majority Of $4,000 on
the popular vote, yet he would lack
1000 votes of having as many as Nc
kinley in the electoral vote and the
certificate would consequently 80 to
the Mckinley and Hobart electors.
The only way out of the difficulty
as we see it for the Democrats and
populisls to effect some arrangement
by which the electoral vote will be
united, but upon what plan IS yet TO
be determined: Whether this will be
brought about by the withdrawal OF
either Sewall or Watson, or By just
apportionment of the electors in the
several States according to the voting
strength of the respective parties hon
es,ly favoring silver is a question for
future settlement.
As matters now stand we believe It
would have been better for the cause
Of silver if the Popullsts had IN, on:
an independent ticket. Then tie Sit
uation would have been fully us.der-
stood and there would have been 10 vot
ing under a misapprehension Of the
true significance Of the vote cast.
As it is with three tickets in the
field every vote for Bryan and Watson
will be virtually thrown away-equiv-
alent to vote for Mckinley, the man
above all others whom silver men
should desire TO beat.

COL. BURGWYN AND THE UNIVER-
SITY PRESIDENCY.

We published las, week Col. Creecy's
endorsement of our distinguished towns
man Col. VIM. H. S. Burgwyn as fit
successor of DR.. Winston as president
of the State University. We have seen
in our Exchanges other refere noes and
endorsements Of a similar character
equally as earnest and complimentary.
Col. Burswyn is in no sense a candi-
date for the place, we take it, and in
deed we do not know that he would
accept; but it is none the less gratihy-
ing TO his friends at home and else
where to see his name mentioned in
this connection. The following article
we take from the Durham Herald
These is no man better qualified
both in his literary attainments and
executive abilities than Col. w. H. S.
Burgwyn, in whose make up these
qualities are happily combined. 1t
may also be added to Col. Burgwyn's
credit, that while not a martinez in
any sense, he would set pace in
method and dicipline sadly lacking in
our higher institutions. He is a gradu-
ate of that institution, and has farther
perfected himself in the languages,
Belle Letters, and the practical phil
osophy Of this age. 1t is questionable
whether he would give up the lucrative
position on which he now has a life
tenure, to accept, but he is intensely
North Carolinian, and his great love
for the University might induce him to
serve it.
