With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys

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 a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof 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 10 the fact. that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
iii important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that YOU have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali

1.-THE LITTLE--LEET EEL
LERS."

Some of the small, 7x9, country
pOstmasters are greatly distressed
over the tremendous growth of THE
REPRESENTATIVE, and the great
work it is doing in enlightening the
public mind; and they would confis-
cate and burn the whole edition if
they could. Failing to do this they
resort to all sorts of petty tricks. One
of these is to notify us that certain
parties want their papers stopped.
We do so, and then we get letters
from the parties themselves COM
planning that their REPRESENTATIVES,
do not come. We are preserving
these bogus notices from 'the little
little-leetle-fellers as Sam Small
calls them, and we hope to get some
of them behind the bars before long.
This country is not owned by the
postmasters. They are simply the
servants of the people, and the people
have got right to read and believe
what they please.
We do not think such arts are prac-
ticed in the postof1ices of the big
towns and cities. 1t is the acrid, bit.
ter, bigoted little cuss, that gets half
dozen letters day to distribute, and
who feels that his soap-box, in which
he keeps the mail. is the ark of the
covenant, and that God has appointed
him to keep the people straight, that
resorts to such petty tricks.

OH THE HUMBUG OF IT.

resource fulness and constructiveness

recognized by the pressure of Presi-
dents Garfield and Harrison upon him
to take the portfolio of the treasury
in their administrations. He has
been favorable to true bimetallism,
and he has at all times labored to
maintain an abundant currency of
gold, silver and paper, made intercon-
vertible and equal to the best cur
rency of the commercial world. He
has demanded for the business of the
nation currency equitable and
stable, free from the Csc llations so
dangerous to business interests and so
unjust to the wage-earncrs Of the ma

We are glad to learn that that

bring a large number of new settlers
into Minnesota. to share in the old
party prosperity in which our own

good ideas in Paris. and he now makes
a valuable sugges ton which should be
fully considered by the immigration
Society. He says it would be we'll to
bring the new settlers from Wiscon-
sin, and the northern tier of states. so
that they would be MANFRED to the
climate-otherwise they might be
made sick, etc. "Manured" is a good
word and fills the bill precisely. Pitch

Johns great rival, in discussing the
tariff, in the days, (about to come up

bowling about the tariff until his jaws
we're sore, was that great Democratic
statesman, Bill Campbell. Bill was
speaking at Morris, Mimi, some years

heavily on the rank injustice done the
American people by the hi9h-tariff on
