Gludness 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 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 it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which Is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep.
utable druggists.
If In the enjoyment of good health,
md the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, ono
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but II In need of laxative,
then 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. |

LII HUNG CHANG AND THE IRISH

Irishmen are highly indignant over Lii
Hung Chang's expressions of dislike to
their race, but if they were less impetuous
and would pause to consider the matter
from his point of view instead of calling
him bad names they would see no reason
why he should like them and many why
he should not For Irishmen are perhaps
without exception the cause of the illtreat-
ment by Cinnamon in this country. Wher-
ever they have been beaten and abused
driven out of their homes, deprived of work
and even prosecuted to the extent of
slaughter, as in Wyoming. it has been be-
cause they came, or were thought to come,
in competition with Irish labor. The Geary
law which placed them under restrictions
visited upon no other class of foreigners,
was the direct outgrowth of the agitation
led by the sand-lot orator, Dennis Kearney,
who probably never did an honest days
work i'll his life. Many Californians are
fair enough to admit now that the Chinese
fill place in the industries of the State
that no other laborers occupy well. and
that they are really in many ways a USE

lars more than the pensions. 1t means that
less than 1la per cent of the whole number
of pensioners had been suspected of draw
ing money to which they were not entitled
Under the act of 1890 men are pensioned
for disabilities not traceable to the service,
where it is proved that they are not able
by their labor to support themselves. The
larger part of the suspensions are made
because of a changed rating as to the ina
bility to labor. With all thesa facts in Off
cial reports, it seems unnecessary that a
clergyman, speaking to young men, should
say that there are thousands OF fraudulent
pensioners, thus conveying the impression
to the uniformed that a very large part OF
those who receive pensions are not en-
titled to them. AS those to whom these re-
marks were addressed have no means of
determining, they may fairly infer that the
patriotism of any man whom they know to
be a survivor of the late war lis the patriot
ism of Benedict Arnold" The many thou
sands of WORKOUT and poverty pinched Old
men cannot answer these aspersions, but
they can call attention to the fact that
through the organization of the Grand
Army $1,000 of them fin Indiana were the
first to offer their services to the Governor
in July, 1894, when the laws and social or
der were menaced. The Journal would not
be captious about this matter, but when
language is used which, if we'll intended
does an injustice to a large class of de-
serving men. it can do no less than place
the figures of official results against gen.
eral accusation

MIR BRYAN'S BLUNDER AND OF.
TENSE.

One of the few things upon which Mr..
Bryan harps is that the rich are creditors
and the poor are debtors. That is not the
case The truth is that those who are
called poor are the creditors, and those
who command credit do so because they
have property, or others who possess it
have sufficient confidence in them to be
surety for them. Every man and woman
who works for wages IS g. creditor to those
who employ them from pay day until
another In large establishments 1T is inn
possible to make up pay rolls to include
the day of payment, so it may be said
that the large corporations which employ
so much labor are always the debtors of
that labor for millions in the aggregate
and often for many millions. The largest
body of creditors in this country the
4.S755l9 depositors of 81. sl0,57e, 023 in the
savings banks, the average deposit being
$37l36 None of these depositors can be
called rich. and the rich can make better
use of their money than to put it into
savings banks which pay from to per
cent. interest. The most of them are so
poor that they canot accumulate money
with which 10 purchase he mes. OF the L.
