ON MEXICO.

What eyer good may come TO the
United States as a result OF the present
campaign, certain 1t Is, that Mexico Is
receiving such an investigation and adj.
vertising as she never dreamed Of.
Nearly every large paper 10 the United
States has one or more trained CORES
pondents 10 that republic and not one
OF them has intimated that Mexico ls
suffering from financial embarrass.
ment. 1t was the cry Ct every advo-
cate Of the single standard that Mexico
was suffering from the effects OF free
silver, and her ffty-three-cent dollar
was held up as a terrible example OF
what would happen in the United States
II silver is remonetized. Now the same
newspapers that a few weeks ago we're
making capital out Of Mexico's poverty,
which they attributed to free coinage,
are explaining that Mexico Is prosper
GUS, that new railroads and factories
are being built everywhere in that land,
not as the result OF free silver, but be-
cause the country has an ample protec-
tive policy. This is simply another re-
suit OF Investigation, in which the wind
has been taken from the sails of the ar.
gument against bi-metallism.

Ralph f. TwitchelI, secretary of the
Republican League of New Mexico, 10
q long communication to the Las Vegas
OPTIc, says:
II nave not been educated in that school
OF politics or political economy which
teaches that the ballot is the inalienabls
right Of every American citizen. This sort
Of clap trap Is chiefly used by political
bunco s~teerers and demagogues who APP
peal to the u Informed vote for his sup
port. The ballot is not a right. 1t is a
privilege"
Inasmuch as Mr.. Twitchell was edu-
Gated in the republican "school of
politics., 1t may BIO presumed that the
party to which he belongs does not be-
lieve in the right Of the ballot, but that
the citizen must crave, from the bosses
the privilege to vote. This may be
good republican doctrine but 1t will
hardly be accepted by the voters Of
this country who have been educated
to believe that the ballot is "inalienable
right of every american Citizen"

The report that earthquake disturb
ances in the South Pacific ocean have
swallowed up the island of Juan Fer
nandez will prove interesting news to
a large portion Of this generation.
That island is the one on which Alex
ander Selkirk spent nearly a lifetime,
his experience there being the real
basis for the story of Robinson Crusoe.
The island had therefore a classic
standing in the estimation of a large
share Of the world. II it has been
destroyed by q convulsion of nature, It
will be mourned perhaps more widely
thaa an equal disaster to more import
ant parts of the world. 1t is necessary
to note, however, that the report Of its
disappearance comes from the very un-
reliable source Of Madrid.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CD

Having met with the highest Sue
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup Of Figs, IL has become import
ant TO all TO have knowledge Of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy rs u medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale Of
millions Of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, MS they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneticially.
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended &c
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is mos,
largely used and gives most genera
satisfaction.
