Gladness Comes

w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle etforts-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 u 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 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get ito 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.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then rot needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most Skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest ard is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

CHANGING SILVER INTO GOLD.

There is hardly any telling what
science may accomplish as time goes on.
and the world may as we'll prepare it
self for almost anything in the way Of
scientific development. The latest thing
in this line is the claim OF Prof. EN-
mons..one of the most skilled metalur-
Gists in the country. to be able to change
silver into gold. Prof. Emmons claims
that in the reduction of silver the mole
Gales are SO subdivided as to differ SO
materially from that metal that they
can no longer be regarded as the same
substance. but new one and appar-
emily the parent of both gold and sill
Yer. or the raw material out of which,
bv n different arrangement OF mole
cules. either gold or silver are construct
ed" Working on this theory he finds
that this new metallic substance can be
aggregated into molecules Of greater
density than silver and precisely cor
responding with gold in color, in weight,
SO as to answer to every test of the
United States mint as gold. In fact, he
saws it is gold. though manufactured
from silver. of as much purity and value
as that ever obtained in any other way
With further experiments on a large
scale. he expects that the process of
- anufacturinG gold from silver will be
very materially cheapened. At present
he claims to get about four ounces of
gold from six OF silver. Prof Emmons
-aems to be in earnest in his work. and
the country will watch its progress with
no small degree of interest.

HE is CLosr TO THE PEOPLE.

The Wilmington On. c. Star in re-
cerring to the campaign now being
made bv Mr.. Bryan very justly says:
Never before in the political his
tory of this country has u candidate
for office. high or low, gone before
the people and inspired the cnthu-
siasm that William Jennings Bryan
has and never has man gone be-
fore them so capable OF inspiring
enthusiasm. 1t doSen't matter
where he speaks. nor when nor
under what circumstances, whether
it is two minute speech from the
rear of Il moving car, or an hours
Spcech in the broiling sun or in the
mourning rain. 1t is all the same-the
Deoplc crowd around him eager to
hear him and struggle TO get closer
to him that they may hear the bet
Ter. and everywhere they respond
with enthusiastic approval to every
sentence he utterS. He is close To
the people. talks to the people and
for the people and in phrase which
they all comprehend. No such
marrowY speeches have been made
and continuously made, by any man
within our recollection. This is elo-
ciiencc of the highest type. not the
cloouence which pleases only, but
accomDlishes the higher purpose of
oersuadinG and convincing"
Our contemporary does not overdraw
The picture in the least, and this must
be acouesed in by all, even his politl-
cal opponents. No such q canvass has
ever been made in this country as that
now being made by William Jennings
BRYAN. and ii is doubtful If another like
it ever will be again.

BACTERIA IN WATER FRoM DEEP
WELLS.

The Popular Science News says J, hat It
has been widespread popular opinion
that the purity OF water obtained from
deep wells. especially from the
kind known as driven wells. might
be depended upon. but that OF late there
has arisen Il doubt of the accuracy of
this belief. and scientific investigation
has now shown 1t to he erroneous. Ex-
animation OF waters from considera BILE
number of springs and deep wells by the
bacteriologist of the Massachusetts
state Board OF Health has shown shat
bacteria are present in water taken not
only from springs and open wells. but
from carefully guarded wells OF quite
extraordinary depth"
The question OF pure and wholesome
waite" Is one which cannot be too care
fully considered. and the Virginian is
lead TO publish the above because of
tbs fact If what Popular Science
News says is correct, it is important to
know It.

WHAT NONSENSE.

The Boston Transcript prints a story
to the effect that President Cleveland
moved by friendship for Spain, has in
strncted Minister Taylor at Madrid TO
give that Government " n pointer" viz ::
Should Major Mckinley be elected Pres
ident OF the United States he is almost
sure to appoint Senator Sherman Sec
hetarv of State. and in view of
Sherman's sympathy for the Cubans
Spain had better hurry up matters and
re.luce the instruction in Cuba to one
of unimportance.
1t saws further that General Weyler's
call for more troops Is caused by the
information received that he may
BEGIN the reducing process before John
Sherman gets in office. This is the
veriest nonsense ever published by any
reputable newspaper. Nobody believes
that Mr.. Cleveland has sent any such
Instructions to Minister Taylor and
very few believe that John Sherman
will ever be Secretary of State
No more do they believe that Mckinley
is going to be President

Nov. what DO YOU think of this
Democrats? Here IS nan who ask:
you to vote for him vino declares that
he does not expect to be elected.
The Virginian has nothing TO say
about Senator Palmer personally, but II
submits that man who makes such
u declaration is not the man for whom
Democrats can afford 10 vote. But
what does Senator Palmer mean? He
means that he is simply In the field to aid
in turning over the country to Hanna
and his syndicate. The Atlanta Cons:i-
tuition, referring TO this matter. has
the following to say:
what does General Palmer
say when he declares that he Is q
candidate without expectation of
election. and that he was nominated
by convention that had no eXpccta-
ton of his election? But one mean
ing can be squeezed out of such an
utterance, namely: That the pur-
pose of his nomination was to betray
tHe democratic party ana Der1id-
iously TO aid In turning the coun-
try over to the Hanna syndicate
That such candidate, nominated
by such convention, for such u
purpose. should be able TO pirate
about the honor of the American
people is one of the marvels of the
time. 1t is an eloquently sinister
tribute to the power of money.
1T is to be supposed that we shall
hear more of the candidate without
expectation and the party without
principles for, although Palmer has
no expectation of becoming Presi-
dent, both he ana Hanna. who IS di-
recting the itinerary, have a lively
hope that the candidacy of Palmer
Will help to swell the vote of AIcKin-
ley in doubtful States.
so far as the Democrats are con-
cerned. they have good reason to re-
sent the perfidious campaign in be-
half of Mckinley that Palmer is
carrying on. 1t Is disgusting
farce, to be sure to raise the gorge
OF Democrats who. although they
believe in the efficacy of the gold
standard, also believe in straightfor-
ward methods"
There are, no doubt, some Democrats
who will vote for Senator Palmer, but
Just how they can do so in face of the
statement made by him in his Balti-
more speech is difficult to understand.
