Gladness Comes

With 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 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. It is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to 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. IT
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but If In need of 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.

relief to humane and honorable men to

specific proof that the service had not

be passed or rejected by a vote in
which each member of the council an
his personal share of responsibility for
what happened. To talk about the re-
suit, which has drawn large amount
of money from the taxpayers of st.
Paul, for which adequate service was
not rendered, the remedy being all the
time In plain sight and provided for
in the contract, as being inherent in

thing more than that to tell us that no
contract can be enforced when en-
forcement depends upon a vote of the
city council. To say that this is a re-
suit of a system, and not a malfea-
sance in Office by individual men, and
to declare that the only remedy lies
in a change of system, is to say that
hereafter we must follow one of two
courses. Either we must elect mem
bers of the city council clothed with all
the vast powers and duties conferred
by the charter, and yet relieved be-
forehand from responsibility for any
thing that they may do, or else we
must dispense with councils altogether
and look for that benevolent despot"
in whom a certain number of dream
ers who do not believe in the people
find the one hope of good government.
For ourselves, we wish to enter an
emphatic and indignant protest against
their view, and to declare that the need
of the hour and the reform without
which good government can make no
Roadway is to insist upon and enforce
the personal responsibility Of every
man who has accepted public office

country, always working on the side of
right, when you have taught him how
to extract cube root and to write
composition in passable English.
What this nation needs above all
other things is a higher standard Of
moral conduct. Our own internal de-
feet, which has been disclosed to us in
ways that are little short of alarming,
ought to show us the danger and the
remedy. If we are to impose any re-
strictions upon those from without who
seek to make their home with us, we
should have learned, by our big blum
der in education, that the criterion
should be unblemished character, and
not ability to read and write That
which should exclude a man from en-
try at our ports ought to be evidence
that he has been a moral delinquent,
or that he is unable or unwilling to dis
charge that first of all duties, which is
to earn an honest living by honest la
Dor. To substitute for this, the real shib-
-bofeth of citizenship, paltry spelling

own experience and to increase our own
dangers by, adding to the hardships Of

INSULT THEM SOME MORE.

1t appears that the Turkish minister
at Washington is exceedingly wroth at
the language used by President Cleve-
land in describing the Armenian out
RACES. He has demonstrated in positive
terms against the "harsh and unjust
language used by the president" and
in turn accused American residents in
Turkey of melting the Armenians to re
volt. It is a'relief from the everlasting
diet of hapdoodle to which the author
tiles at Washington usually consign US
to hear some brave words fifty spoken
The only criticism which we can find
upon this portion of the presidents
message is that his representation Of
the Armenian situation was not vivid
enough, and the language of his de-
relieve the consciences and tend to re-
store the self-respect of a large num-
Der of American citizens if the Turkish
minister were to act upon his hostile
intimation and leave the country. Ex-
cept for the purpose of securing per-
mission to citizens Of ours to relieve
some Of the awful distress occasioned
by Turkish ferocity, we have no use
for diplomatic intercourse with the
power which has committed the most
awful atrocities known to the history
of the world for centuries. 1t is a
libel upon our manhood and a disgrace
to our national honor that we should
admit to intercourse with us on terms
of equality a government which is as
out of place there as an Apache Indian
in his war paint and smeared with the
blood of his victims would be in the
cabinet of the United States.
Not a tenth part Of the facts about
Armenia ever has been or ever can
be told. They are worse than the
imagination of man has conceived. If
we are restrained by our settled policy
from interfering in the affairs of a
European nation, If it seems that for
us to take hand in settling the Turk
ish question would only make matters
worse, without relieving the distress of
the unfortunate subjects of the bar
barians, the least that we can do is
to express the plain opinion of decent
men, in the hope that this may pos

KICK against the reappointment of E1r

reached the conclusion that Mr. Re-

cent OF the board have been detrimen-
tai to their interests. The matter has
been the subject Of general discus
sion among the business men and
those interested in the welfare of the
city for the past week, and several
representative citizens have called On
the mayor to learn his views regarding
the appointments or rather the re-
appointments. What has surprised
those who have been to see his worsbin
regarding the matter is that the mayor
has intimated that he was giving
serious consideration of the appoint
ment Of a new commissioner in place
OF Mr.. Bement. While Mayor Doran
has not been as outspoken as to say
this, he has said that he had an idea
that Mr.. Lindeke would not care to ac-
cept a reappointment. To those who
are on the inside of deals political

matter yesterday said If Mayor Doran

making the board of water commits

or to secure future political honors
he would be the first one to establish
this precedent. The water board, the
gentleman said, had always been kept
out OF politics and the manner In
which it had been. conducted in the
past spoke volumes for the nOn-politi-
cal idea as expressed in the appoint

the mayor in turning down Mr. Be
ment, will, as soon as it is generally
known, result in large and numerous

of the present members. instead of one

Bement claim that he is just the man
for the place, his abilities as civil
engineer and large experience in the

public.

CONVERSATIONS OFF SIBERIA.

The natural first point of view Of the
possibilities lurking behind the great
Siberian railway that presents itself to
one located in our agricultural North
west is the effect upon our produce
when the great interior of that region,
larger than all Europe, is opened, and
the grain from it's fields and the cattle
from it's steppes roll along the 5000
miles of rails to supply our present
European customers. We have felt
hard the effects of. the opening of the
table lands of India and the plains Of
Argentina, but these are dwarfs be-
side the vast area Of Siberia. But
whatever results may come to our
farmers, the possibilities Of extended
trade open to our manufactures may be
compromising benefit, of which adj
vantage should be taken to make par
tial returns fer whatever loss may
come 81 81

ldu Tie same provision IN the MCk1n-
ley act, though the motives in the two
acts were not the same. England is as
much a distributing as a manufacur-
ing nation the imported goods being
shipped abroad with wares of home
make. The unexpected result was that
tradesmen in foreign parts, seeing
goods marked made in Germany"
concluded that they might save the
middleman's profit by buying directly.
English dealers slowly walked up to the
fact that their colonial trade was slip
ping away from them and into German
hands. Stimulated by this increase of
trade, Germans have pushed their trade
everywhere and are keenly on the look
out for new fields
They are alive to the possibilities of
trade in Siberia, that will mature
when the railway reaches Vladivostock
Their papers are full of spurring arti-
cles pointing out the vast field to be
occupied and the immense trade await
ing those first to establish themselves
there. They are urging the govern
ment to make a consulate there and
appoint to it thoroughly equipped
man who will examine the ground,
study it in detail and report fully the
opportunities. 1t is place that's de-
mands the services of the ablest man
in the consular force, they say Mer-
chants are urged not to wait for the
government, but to establish lines Of
steamers and send their agents out.
They warn their tradesmen that the
Americans now have almost the whole
of the trade with Vladivostock, and
English agents have penetrated the in
terror and drummed trade in the in
terror cities. They admit that the
Americans and English are their only
competitors, but dwell on the impor-
lance Of being first in the field
If our manufacturers and merchants
have not been too long under the ener-
waiting influence of dependence on the
government, if the old spirit that per-
vaded their ranks before the war can
be revived, we can get and hold the
trade that will be opened in eastern
and central Siberia as soon as the rails
take the place of river boats and bull
teams. Everything is in our favor,
nearness, facility of transport, and, not
least, exemption from those antago-
nisms that have been bred between the
Russians and the other nations Of
Europe. The country resembles very
much our own great northern interior
the same soil and climate, demanding
about the same implements and other
products of our mills. The friendly re-
lations that have subsisted for half a
century between Russia and this coun-

traders and their wares We, too,
should have thoroughly equipped
man at Vladivostock, no party hack,
pensioned on the government, and no
resident merchant there, absorbed in
his own business, but live, active, OBJ

trade and able to see what is needed.
