Gen. Harrison's Speech in Richmond

Wou. ndTflSUu NpocCH III AsACAmVAu'
Much has been written and said
about the speech of Gen. Benjamin
Harrison made in Richmond on Mon
day night of last week. Gen. Harrison
did draw crowd. He was entitled to
do so. His ability insures it. His clean
record as politician and-as man de-
serves it, and we are glad that when in
Virginia he commanded a respectful
hearing, and was listened to by a re-
fined and intelligent audience. The
Republican party today has few men
like Gen. Harrison. He has never had
a political job on his hands. No real
case OF disreputable political methods
has ever been credited to his account,
though he is severely partisan, and
when such man visited Virginia's cap
ital he ought to have been received
and treated with that respect to which
these virtues entitle him.
We can in no sense agree with him
in his ideas of monometalism or pro-
lection. but we could, as did many OF
the persons who heard him on that
occasion, listen with pleasure to his
arguments though disagreeing in every
line and syllable with his utterances
We have no word against the pluto
Gratis for sending such men as Gen
Harrison to Virginia. If he carries
voters to the cause of gold, they &c
because they have come to their con
illusions on account of having listened
to an argument which though fallac
ious, and springing from mind train
ed in school as far removed from the
people as that of any American citizen
our memory now recalls, arose from
belief that his was the true side Of
the controversy. Born in luxury, bis
grandfather a president of the United
States, himself always in the lap Of
wealth, and star from the madding
crowd,' he can have none of the sym.
pathy and feeling which one must
have to fight the battle of the people.
Yet Gen. Harrison no doubt believes
that all money must be gold, because
he has lived with those who have held
to this idea from his youth. His visit
to Virginia has done Bryan's cause nc
harm. but it has given the people OF
Virginia an opportunity to listen to an
address from one of the very cieanest
politicians now advocating gold, and
Notwithstanding all that has been said
about his ''Grandfather's hat," one OF
the greatest men of today.

1t is reported that the recent deposi
tion of Bishop Keane from the chancel-

Washington indicates that the inf1u
.ence of Archbishop Ireland is on the
wane at Rome. If this be so it seems
to one who is not Catholic, but who
has the kindest feelings for those who
are, that the church in this country
will be benefited thereby, as it will
show that Mgr. Satolli has found out,
by longer residence here, that Arch.
bishop Corrigan, who has the conserva
tive characterised his church, rath-

Gladness Comes

With a 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 constipated comb.
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 it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cah-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV 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.
