MORE NEW BArrIE-sHrPs.
Congress WttI Build as Many as Our
Finances HSEL Permit,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-The
opinion is expressed by members of the
House Naval Committee that the naval
appropriations bill for the coming fiscal
year will provide for two new battle-ships
and possibly three. The matter has not
been even informally discussed by the
committee, but so far as can be learned
the disposition is general to provide for as
many tirst-class fighting ships as the con-
dltlon of the National finances will per-
mat. 1t is expected also that the bill will
carry an appropriation for number of
torpedo-boats, probably as many as twelve
in all.

Orange County.
SANTA ANA, CAL, Jan. 25.-The pros
poets for abundant crops in Orange County
are excellent. The last transforms have
been of that easy but continued character
that give the ground the full benefit of the
moisture. Many thousands of acres of
barley already sowed is growing finely.
and farmers are working like beavers every-
where, turning over and cultivating the
soil. The continued cold weather, which
ended about ten days ago, retarded the
growth of all vegetation, but the present
warm spell and the rains have given every-
thing new life. From present indications
a better year was never ahead of Orange
County.

such a powerful right that Donovan was
knocked to his knees in the first round. In
the second round Lavack drove his left to
the jaw repeatedly and finally sent his
right across the point of the chin with
such force that Donovan reeled against
the ropes, but before the Clevelander r
could score a knockout Referee Moore
stopped the go and gave the decision to

Was Paradise at the North Pole?

In aD interesting and highly in
structive article, Edward S. Martin,
in the October Ladies Home Journal,
reviews the numerous theories ad-
vanced by scientists in the endearor
to solve the perplexing problem as to
the exact location of the site of the
Garden of Eden. After sitting the
theories, the writer concludes that
the question is no nearer answered
than it was 1000 years ago, and that
there are no present indications that
the matter will ever be definitely set.
tied by any man. To one of the
latest and most ingenious theories
Mr.. Martin thus refers: The North
Pole will seem, at first thought, to
the average investigator, the most
unlikely site on earth for paradise to
have occupied. Nevertheless, several
thoughtful and sober books and PAM
phlets have been written in support
of the North Poles pretensions.
The North Pole nowadays is bitter
cold, but it has not always been so.
Biologists tell US that the earth was
excessively hot, when it first began
it's course-much too hot to admit of
the presence of any living creatures,
except, perhaps a salamander. As
it grew colder vegetation began on
it, and then it began to be peopled,
first with fishes, and then with birds
and beasts; finally with man. The
first spot on earth to get cool enough
to use was the North Pole. In the
process of time it got 10 cold, but
there must have been long period
when the Polar region was the most
comfortable part Of the world.
During this period, many eminent
geologists believe, there existed
around the North Pole a continent
now submerged, and that on that
continent orr ,,rooenitore were nom.
Portable in their first home. It is
known, with entire certainty that the
polar region was once warm enough
for tropical Vegetation to grow there.
There was light enough also, for such
vegetation-abundant light, indeed,
for all uses, and plenty for primeval
man. Geology tells US that man
might have lived at the North Pole.

The Proper Time

When the most benefit is to be de-
rived from good medicine, is early
in the year. This is the season when
the tired body, weakened organs and
nervous system yearn for building
up medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring
weather and, in fact, delay giving
attention to their physical condition
so long that long siege Of sickness
is inevitable. To rid the system of
the impurities accumulated during
the winter season, to purify the blood
and to invigorate the whole system,
there is nothing equal to Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Don't put it off, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla now. 1t will do
you good. Read the testimonials
published in behalf of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, all from reliable, grateful
people. They tell the story. 20

The State Democratic Executive
Committee Called to Meet in Co.

Some Observations on Democratic
Duty.
To the Members Of the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee: Pur-
suant to the call of the Democratic
National Committee directing the
selection of delegates from each of
the several States to assemble in
Chicago on July 7th next, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
President and Vice President of the
United States, the Democratic State
Executive Committee is hereby re-
quested to meet in the city of Co
lumbia, on Tuesday, the 7th day of
April, 1896, at the hour of s o'clock
p. M, for the purpose Of taking the
necessary steps looking to the re-
organization OF the Democratic party,
and to the assemblage of the State
convention to elect delegates to the
national convention as provided for
by article " of the constitution of
the party. Recognizing as I do the
wide differences Of opinion as to the
details Of party policies and party
management, yet fully alive to the
present emergencies upon the Democ-
racy, We cannot but realize that the
party's purposes and successes can
only be attained by discipline and
organization. AS understood by us,
the hope Of the country is centered
in the Democratic party. Its princi
Piles, which have been handed down
from Jefferson and Jackson, are ab-
solutely necessary to maintain the
equal rights Of all Of the States and
to secure the wise and economical gov
el. iment of the country. Whatever
differences there may be as to the
application Of the general principles
for which the party stands, all must
agree that only by harmony, conces-
sion and loyalty to the party, can
great ends be accomplished. The
representatives of this State should,
therefore, go to the national con7en-
tion with fixed determination to
meet their brethren in a spirit of
unity and with view to harmony.
United and in perfect accord, we
ought to be able to continue IN con-
troll Of the government. With a de
termination to introduce harmony,
we can gain much in the direction
of our own desires as to the applica
ton Of Democratic principles; we can
gain nothing except the defeat OF the
Democracy by open declarations Of
our determination to disorganize if
we cannot have our particular views
carried out. However we may differ
as to details with our brother Demo
Gratis from other sections of the
Union, we all know that the Demo-
cratic creed and a Democratic con-
troll of the government are far better
for us than anything We may expect
from our opponents.
