mans Association.
TON Kib,'' as his friends call him, is very

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical 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 condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
lv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali 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
NAV be commended to the most slxillful
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.

The widely increased circulation OF the
SPECTATOR and its evidence of growth in pub
lie favor, have determined the management
to pursue line as thoroughly busincss-llke
and systematic as possible. 1t intends to give
its readers as newsy paper as possible, one as
thoroughly reliable as possible, and in every
sense as we'll edited as possible. The growing
interest in the coming elections will OF course
cause good deal of its space to be devoted to
national issues, and whilst this may tire some,
it cannot fail to interest others, so supremacy
important is becoming this great battle for
the rights of the agricultural and laborlng
classes. But in the midst of the mighty con
aict for improved conditions and for freedom
from monopolistic greed, the news must be
gathered and presented. We always hold
certain amount of our space for our CORE
spondents Sometimes we are disappointed
in receiving their letters, and again they flow
in upon us in deluge. We cannot handle
them properly or satisfactorily either to our
selves or the writers when there is lack OF
system. We, therefore, hope that the prin-
cipal items of news will be sent us regularly
each week, and in little while our correspond
ents will fall into the habit of doing this and We
will become certain of receiving the news, ane
all will work smoothly and probably.

AS most of the original government
bonds were bought at sixty cents on

upon their face, payable, principal
and interest, in coin," as silver dollars
are and always were ''coin," and as
such "coin'' will now buy almost twice
as much as it did when all except the
new bonds were issued, why their re

A few days ago the papers of the
country published a dispatch from
Havana, stating that the famous insur-
gent general, Marceo, had been sur
tain stronghold, and forced to retreat
with heavy loss. 1t now appears that
the Spanish forces were the victims of
clever strategem on the part Of the
insurgent general. Maceo with $500
troops broke through the trocha and is
now in the Havana district. He went
Overto assist General Gomez in his
march to Havana. MaceO left General
Rios in charge of his troops in the
Province of Pinar del Rio with 10000
men in the insurgents stronghold The
report that the Spanish troops had
captured his camp was true, but it was
the place where the insurgents were
awaiting favorable opportunity to
cross the trocha, and after Maceo had
broken camp. Maceo bombarded
Artemisa and passed through
the trocha to the province
of Havana, where he is now, to
meet Gomez. Munez attacked the hill
where he thought Maceo was and only
found small detachment of insurgents
on the hill to detract the Spanish. gen
