Gladness Comes

MIith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasante 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. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its 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. 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 and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Lessons of the Past.
God keeps the future for Himself. Only
His eye can see in the fullness of truth the
days to come, but He has left us some
glimpses Of them in the past. and II men
will only take guidance from experience,
they will. as they can IN no other way,
show their superiority over the brutes
which perish
You and I, my friends, have been to-
gether for twenty years; two-thirds the life
Of generation Of men 1t would be singu-
lar If the past gave us no help in the crisis
of our affairs. But 1t can. We have been
through all this once before. The green
hackers of 1878 were not bad men. They
were sincere. and had better case than
the silver men OF today. In fact 1t was
much the same case. We must have arti-
fcial Imitation and cheaper money, they
said, Or blackest ruin awaited u.s. 1t was
q hard time
Prices were low and work was scarce;
we persevered and resumed specie pay
ments.
From that moment the capital of the
world was at our disposal. We had a good
tariff which made us do all our own work.
and from 1879 to 1898 there were fourteen
years of prosperity, which placed the
United States IN a great position in the
world
"If we do the like thing today, like things
will follow. With revenues equal to our
emergencies, undue export Of gold will
cease. With the certainty that the dollar
paid will be equal to the dollar lent will
come credit and confidence. With that
other certainty that we are to do all CUR
own work will come the earning of wages
steadily increasing, which Is the basis OF
that prosperity which Is alone worthy Of
this great nation, the prosperity of the
whole people"

SO far as the testimony of the men
who captured them before tho court
martial went, it showed that neither
of the men had arms upon their per-
sons.
From an American point of view
these prisoners were not assisted by
counsel. but from Spanish point of
view they had counsel. This counsel
consisted of a lieutenant in the navy
who asked no questions and who
cross-eXamined no witnesses. No
witnesses We're produced but Capt.
Butron and the other officers of the
Mensajerre. This lieutenant asked
for clemency for Laborde on account
of the illustrious place his name had
borne in the Spanish navy, and for
Milton because he was not there for
the purpose of fighting, but merely in
his business as a newspaper CORE.

that do not understand one word
that has been said for me or against
me, and at any rate l appeal to both
the British and American consuls."
The court made its finding within Is
minutes after Gildea made this state
ment.
Before the trial Gildea stated tina,

on board the Competitor thinking she
was bound for Sable Keys fishing;
that he knew nothing of the nature
of the busienss untilafter it started.

against every 100000 by concerns in

for iron more than the selling price of
