MYTH better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal 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 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. It's beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that IL is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which IL acts. IL is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, 10 note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. 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
may be commended 10 the most sxillful

sTRAWs WHICH SHOW.
Significant Indications of the Politica
Wind.

Significant Indications of the Political
Wind.
Two significant indicators of public
opinion have come drifting down the
political current since the Chicago con-
vention. One of them, which may fair.
ly be called a straw, was the election il
Brunswick, Md. The other, which more
resembled log, was the Alabama cleo.
ton.
Maryland is usually a democratic
state, but, Disguised with hard
times and the Cleveland administra-
ton, in 1894 the republicans car
ried it. Even in the best of democratic
years, however, it has always had re-
publican towns. Brunswick has been
such a town, in a republican county.
The democrats carried it on national
issues, almost every voter wearing
either Bryan or a Mckinley button. Ii
they had merely recovered their own
lost ground, in a additionally ''sound
money state like Maryland, with every
democratic daily in its metropolis
against them, they would have had
cause for encouragement, but when
they captured stronghold of the
democracy had regained more than its
old vigor, even where it was supposed
to be weakest.
The result IN Alabama makes it evi.
dent that the area of debatable ground
in the union will have to be materially
curtailed. There is once more solid
south. The inroads of the past six
years on the southern democracy have
been checked. In November the popu-
lists will help the democrats against
the republicans Where will Mr.. Han.
ma and his candidate be then?
1t is a pity 1nat there is to be nc
straw in the west, the real battle
ground of the campaign, before the
general election. Next month Vermont
and Maine will tell us in some degree
the drift of opinion in the east. In
these states democratic victory is not
to be expected, but the best observers
will be surprised if the set of the tide
does not prove to be the same on the
North Atlantic coast as by the Gulf and
the Chesapeake.-N. Y. Journal.

BRYAN MAKES DENIAL.
The Democratic Candidate Is Not EN-
pIoyed by Mine Owners.

me democratic Candidate Is Not En-
plOyed by Mine Owners.
William J. Bryan, for the first time
since Senator John NJ. Thurston, as al
legged, declared that he (Bryan) was in
the employ of mine owners, made an
official denial, coupled with a chal-
lenge TO the national republican COM
mittee to come out in the open and ac-
cuse him or forever be silent Mr.
RTyan's attention had been called to the
controversy between Senators Thurs
ton and Stewart, and he determined to
settle the matter, if possible. He there
fore demands an open charge, which he
says he will refute, with details of his
private life and financial affairs, or
silence. He says:
II have already denied this charge on
several occasions, but the reiteration of It
by Senator Tnurston, distinguished resi-
dent of my own state, justifies me in an
swering it again. 1 have never at any time
or under any circumstances been in the
employ of any mine owners, individually
or collectively, directly or indirectly, nor
have ever been in the employ of or paid
by any bimetallic league or association.
Aside from my editorial salary of about
$50 a month, paid by the Omaha World
Herald. and a small amount derived from
retirement from congress has been derived
entirely from lectures before Chautauqua
lyceum and lecture bureaus, which have
usually paid me a fixed sum, and from
contributions made by the people of the
localities where l have spoken. In some
Instances 1 have received nothing at all.
In most cases have received no more than
enough to pay my travelling expenses. In
only two instances, 1 think, has my COM
pensation exceeded $780, and in these in
stances 1t was about $500 at one place and
about $500 at the other. The first plat
form on which ran for congress in 1890,
before 1 was known politically outside my
own state, contained a free coinage plank
an advocate of free coinage. In the cam
paign of 1892 1 again ran on a free coinage
platform. In 1894 1 again ran on free
coina ge platform, and my opponent for the
senate, Mr.. Thurston, while opposing I'M
limited coinage at sixteen to one, insisted
that he favored bimetallism. 1 wrote the.
free coinage plank on which ran IN 1880
and the free coinage planks in the Ne
braska state platforms In 1891, 1894 and
1896, and tried to secure the adoption of
free coinage planks in the state platform
IN 1892 and 1888. / only mention this to
Ahow my advocacy of free silver is not
of recent date Having made this answer
to Mr.. Thurston'S letter, ! shall hereafter
comment on the subject. If the republican,
national committee will say officially that
have ever been employed to deliver
speeches by any mine owner, a group of
mine owners, or by any association sup
ported by mine owners, am ready to make
q statement showing in detail all money
received by me for speechmaking."

Railway Corporations Rounding Up TbefR
Men for Mckinley.


Mem for Mckinley.
The desperate fear of the railway
corporations that Bryan viii be elected.
and that they viii be brought under the
law, is shown by circular that has been
sent to all railway operatives in the
country, urging them to organize into
sound money" Gibbs, and informing
them that sUcn clubs will be opened at
every railway station and division head
quarters in the country. Tie circular
is issued anonymously, bur as il refers
to leading railway periodical for
literature and blanks, and as this
periodical is published in the interest Of
the corporations and not that of the
operatives it is clearly demand on the
part of these corporations that their
employees support Mckinley. A signiti.
can't fact is that the circular is being
published by republican papers, which
by the force of circumstances have been
compelled to become supporters of the
monopolies.
If the men to whom this threat is adj
dressed still possess the independence
that they have already exhibited, the
effect of the circular viii be directly
opposite to that which was intended
The shrewdness of the scheme of OPEN
ing club rolls at every railway station is
manifest. 1t gives the companies alb
soiute knowledge of what men join and
what men do not join, and in this way
the preparation of a black list is re-
duced to the simplest lines. This circular
carries deeper threat and a holder in
suit than any the railways have ever
dared before 10 fling in the faces OF
their employees.
1t viii be interesting to note what re-
ception this precious document will
have at the hands of the American Rail
way union, the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, the other organizations
of railway operatives and organized la
Dor in general. For we may be sure that
this is only the beginning of a compre.
hensive movement by all extensive en-
pioyers of skilled and unskilled labor to
organize their men into Mckinley clubs.
with the implied threat of discharge az
the alternative of joining.
The railway corporations have
special cause for alarm over the pros.
pect of Bryan's election, as the demo
cratic national platform demands not
only the proper regulation of transpor-
tation and the defeat of the funding
bill, but an enlargement of the powers
of the interstate commerce commission
as well. Every intelligent railroad man
must know that to curtail the enormous
power welded by the railroads would
effectually put stop to black lists and
those numerous other devices which
to employ in intimidating and enslav-
ing their employees. II there were no
ether issue before the country than that
of bringing these arrogant and OPP
pressive corporations under the law and
making them the useful agencies that
they might be, the democratic party
would have a good reason for existence

Bis Prediction That the Fran Would Drift
70 SpitzberRen, or some Other Point In
the Open Sea, Verified by the Arrival OF
the Steamer, Which He Left In March,
1898, ut Skieryoe, . Fishing Port Near
she North Cape.
CHRIsTIASIA, Norway, Aug. 2L-Dr.
Nansenis Arctic exploring steamer
Fran mas arrived at Skjervoe, fish
ing port on the bay near the North
cape.
A dispatch from Skjervoe to the
Aftenposten says that on August IA
the Fran called at Danes island, where
a visit was made to NJ. Andre, the
Swedish explorer, whose intention IL
is to find the north pole by means of a
balloon. N. Andre has not yet made
his ascension. The Fran sailed from
Skjervoe for Tromsoe to-day Thurs
day.. All on board were well. The
Fran, with DIR. hansen on board,
sailed from Christiania June -, 1898.
DR.. Nansen's plan was to make for
the new Siberian islands, and thence
sail directly north until the Fran
should be Embedded In the ice, then
drift along with it, following the west
coast of any land that might be met.
Nansen left the Fran in March, 1895,
in lat. "a. long. 1017, to explore north
OF the Franz Josef route, and her ar
rival at Skjervoe is strictly in accord
ance with his prediction that she
would eventually arrive at Spitzber-
gen or some other point in the open
