who knew him. Schuyler ColfAx
was going thither and was paying
his final call at the White. House.
Lincoln said to him: ri want you
to take q message for me TO the

mineral wealth of our nation.
During the war, when we We're
adding $2.000,O00 day. to our

encouraging the increase in the
volume OF our precious metals, but
now that the renelilon is over
thrown and we know pretty nearly
the amount of our national debt,
the more gold and silver we mine

much the easier. Now, | am
going to encourage that in every
possible way. | intend to point
the immigrants to the gold and
silver that wait FOR them in the
west. Tell the miners from me
that I shall promote their interests

Secretary Morcon's diuqer to the
President and Mrs. Cleyeland, this
week, has been widely discussed on
account. of the original manner jn
which the table was decorated. A
big plow made of red carnations
was the center piece of the table,
and upon each side of it were hay
stacks made of yellow spun sugar,
under which were piles Of vegeta-
bles and farm implements all made
of sugar. At each of the four cor
ners Of the tables was wheelbar-
rows made of candy cabbages, con-
tanning confections in the shape o1
vegetables and fruits. The ices
were served in candy hay wagons,
and the punch in little cups made
to imltate apples, peaches and pears
and the individual dishes for the
stewed terrapin we're china terra

The FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
General Harrison Explains How 1t was
Made BIZ the HennIe.

General Harrison Explains How It Wa
Made by the People.
ExPfesident Harrison's paper in The
Ladies' Home Journal of This Conn
try of Ours" series treats comprehen-
siyely of the constitution and its appli-
cation and operation, defining the in
strument, its scope and limitations
clearly. ''Tho word constitution, ." he
writes, Gas used among us implies
written instrument, but in England it
is used to describe governmental sys-
tenn or organization made mp of charters
as the Magma Charta--the general
acts of parliament and body of long
established legal usages or customs.
These are not compiled in any single in
strument as with US, but are to be
sought in many places.
Tho common American usage in
making state constitution is to elect
by u popular vote delegates to conven-
tion, whose duty it is to prepare plan
Of government. When the delegates
have agreed and have properly certified
tho instrument, it is submitted to di-
rect vote of the people, and each voter

Against the constitution. II amajority
vote for the constitution, it then be-
comes the paramount law Of the state.
The legislature does not make the con-
stituticn; the constitution makes the
legislature. The American idea is that
constitutions proceed from tine people in
the exercise of their natural right of self
government and can only be amended
or superseded by the people. Whatever
one legislature or congress enacts the
next one may repeal, but neither can re-
peal or infringe constitutional provi-
sion.
1.-THE delegates to the convention that
framed the constitution of the United
States were not, however, chosen by a
popular vote in the states, but by the
legislatures. Nor was the question of
ted in the states to a direct popular
vote. 80 = There have been ] > amend
ments TO the constitution adopted. Ten
Of these were proposed to the legisla-
tares Of the states by the First congress
and ratified. The other five amendments
have in like manner been submitted by
congress TO the state legislatures for rat.
ifcstion, conventions in the states moi
having been used in any case. 1t will be
noticed also that the vote upon the
adoption of the constitution and upon
amendments thereto is by states, each
state, without regard to its population,
having one vote. But while these proyi-
siors make the popular control less di
rect than is usual III the states and nee
essarily recognize the states in the proc
ess Of making and amending the consti-
tuition, the idea that constitutions Pro
coed from the people is not lost. "

MTith better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gcntle efforts-pleasaut 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 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. II is therefore
all important. in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you 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 sllillful
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.
