Gladness Comes

With a better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper Ell
forts-gentle efforts-pleasan 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
~ 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 It is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene--
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
ciS which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Go. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most slliilful
PHYSICIANS. but if in need of q laxative,
one should have the BEST and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

simple mendacity, and deceived no
body except the rank and file of their
followers, upon whom they had been
playing bunco game from the begin
ming. 1t is undoubtedly true, as the
Bryanites now say, that they were
stronger in July than they proved to
be in November, but they were never
in sight of victory. Possibly it may
be conceded that republican institu-
tions were in the recent canvass put
to strain greater than that to which
they had ever been subjected previ-
ously, but they met the test success
fully and grandly.

cordance with his request, / accept
the explanation over my own sigma
ture. l do so with pleasure, because
it gives me an opportunity to make a
few observations and ask for further
explanations.
Now, Mr.. Olson, why did you sup
press that part of Ben's screed per-
tanning to his neighbors, Mr.. Burns.
Mr.. MapeS and his two daughters?
Had you any personal interest in do
ing so? Was it merely a desire to
spare their feelings? And why not
mine-why did you not suppress it all?
After the whole of that great liter
airy family had taken a hand in its
composition, and after it had been
edited, re-edited and sub-edited, did
you pronounce it good-very good, and
fit for the press? Was its publication
the result of your professed ''sympa-
thy for me, or simply desire to hold
Benjakin in line? And why was it
that copies of that particular paper
were sent to persons who never re-
or generosity your motive? Perhaps
you merely wished to eXemplify re-
form politics and hold Ben's moral
support. l suggest that a few prob
lens like these might be explained
over your signature. not necessarily
for publication, but as an evidence of
good faith. \. S. PEACOCK.

The summary given above is, at
this writing, acknowledged to be cor
rect by the leading newspapers and
politicians of both parties.
With the exception of Kentucky,
which has been placed in the Bryan
column, returns are so complete as
leave no question of McKinley's
election by at least 81 more electoral
vote than his silver opponent.
Indiana, which for a time was
claimed by Bryan, has upon COM
plete report of returns, placed her.
self in the Republican column by a
safe majority and settled all question
as to the general result.
The canvass which has just closed
by the overwhelming victory of Will
liam Mckinley and the cause of ma
tional honesty and orderly govern
ment, has revealed the weakness and
strength of Republican Institutions.
Everybody knew there was consid-
cradle element of the community
who could, by the wiles of smooth
demagogues. be duped into the belief
that human society would be improved
if the top stratum of it were put on
the bottom and the bottom layer
placed on top, and that there was an
other element which, for its own and
sOciety'S welfare, needed to be con
stantly restrained by the strong arm
of authority. These elements are
however, found to be little larger
than was supposed.
In the recent canvass the vicious
and the gullible were thrown into al
lance on the Bryanite side, yet the
existence of the government was not
at any time endangered. For not a
single hour during the whole canvass
did the Bryanites have a chance to

any comparisons. We have about 300
precincts tabulated which cast about

about 400 and Morrill, 1, 400 ahead. We

There remains no doubt that the
fusion state and national tickets have
carried Kansas by majorities ranging
from 5000 to $4,000, and that they
will have a majority in both branches
of the legislature. Bryan and Sewall
electors have carried the state by a
plurality of about 1900, and Leedy
for governor will probably have 5000
plurality, although it may be less.
Broderick, Republican, is probably
