ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-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 constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
" 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. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to getits 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. n
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillfu#
physicians, but if in need of laxative
one should have the best, and with tn
well-informed everywhere, Syrup o
Figs stands highest and is most largelyw
used and gives most general satisfaction.

OF COURSE JOHN LIED.

Jerry Simpson in his speeches has,
as a great many other speakers have
done, quoted John Shermans saying
that he "wGuld take the last shirt off
TIE backs Of the people, rather than
violate the public faith OF the govern
ment." Some gentlemen Of eminent
responsibility" in the city of Hutchin-
inson took it upon themselves to write
John about the statement and the reply
was published in the News under the
head, "Of Course Jerry Lied" The
State Journal evidently learning that
the grand monarch Of the gold forces,
he whose sinuous guiding hand has
been ever present in all the financial
deYiltries of the last three decades, was
now trying to recall the words which
lowell disclosed the hardness of his
purposes, went cunning through the
congressional records for evidence.
In last Saturdays paperit published the
following: Iu the Congressional re-
cord of May Goth, 1895, page $3.50. SEN
at0r' Sherman is reported to have said;
81 am willing to take that bill as it
came to us from the house, and if it is
not sufficient to supply the necessary
resources, let US add tax on tea, a tax
on coffee, or tax on anything; for, as
Isaid on a former occasion, would
vote for tax on anything; would
take the last shirt off the backs of the
people of the Uulted States rather than
violate the public faith Of the govern
nent,n

LIES. AND MORE LIES.

Fossilized republican papers have
long been venting their chOler on Judge
DOster, peoples party candidate for
chief Nstice, by calling him an anarchist
socialist and other kindred names.
They have always reinforced such ep-
ithets by quoting from him, THE rights
of the user are paramount to the rights
of the owner" Many and curious are
the witicisms and filings made at this
declaration, which if the assertion
stood alone in the broad significance
they give, it would all be allowable
and proper. But the fact is that when
Mr.. Doster made that statement, he
also said that mans right to his
homestead, the tools he uses and other
things of like nature is as absolute as
his right to his own limbs. In some
remarks on that subject Mr.. Doster re-
Gently said: "What l referred to was
where person or corporation had ded-
icated property to the use Of the peo'
pie. In that 1 SAID just what Justice
Waite of the Supreme Court decided
many years ago. Telegraph, telephone
railroad and like companies dedicate
their property to the public, and in
such cases l am willing TO stand by my
assertion" The use which republic
cans have made of this remark. is a
miserably mean distortion Of the truth,
fit company only for other misrepre-
sensations from the same source.
Judge DOster is one Of the purest
men in public life, one Of the ablest
lawyers Of the State, foremost in ora
tory and scholarly attainments. He is
a patriot and a gentleman, and these
who now assail him are as but ambiing
elves, who condemn, denounce and mis-
construe because in their profession
they have nothing better to do.

THIS week the editor received let
ter from an uncle living near Ellis,
Kansas, which shows something of the
turn of politics this year. This man is
college bred, has spent most Of his
life in teaching in the public schools,
though at times he has practiced law
and preached the gospel. He is vet
eran of two wars and is now seventy
years of age. In his letter he says:
Now little on politics. My wife is a
red hot advocate for free silver. In
this section Mckinley IS not in it. A
large majority are for Bryan and silver.
Although lifelong republican, 1 shall
vote this year for free silver if 1 live.
Our election this year has more impOI-
tant issues than in 1850, and the true
patriot will not wait long before decid-
ing to vote for Bryan" 1t is not six
months since we had letter from him
in which, while advocating free silver,
he at the same time had unpleasant
things to say of che pOpulists. When
old men, conservative grown, whose
lives have passed into the yellow leaf,
speak in this way, it shows plainly
which way the wind blows.

NEW CONVENTION.

There was a called meeting of the
county central committee of the Sew
enty- Sixth legislative district, on last
Saturday afternoon at the headquarters
of the congressional committee, to con-
s'der the difficulties arising from an
uncertain count in the convention of
that district.
There was free discussion of the
case by all interested in the cause and
it seemed to be shown that three votes
from Minnesota township which should
have been counted for Mr.. LaClare,
were, through mistake of the secretary
counted for Mr.. Astle. There were
also some complications and uncertain
ties arising from the changing of the
wards of the city so as not to conform
to the lines Of the legislative district.
After all had been heard the COM
mttee went into executive session and
the following resolution was passed:
RESOLVED, That the central COM
mIttee is in doubt as to the nomina-
ton in. the Seventy-Sixth legislative
district and deem it best to recOH-
mend that Mr.. Astle withdraw and an
other convention be called for Satur.
day. September Goth.
Accordingly Mr.. Astle Immediately
withdrew. like the gentleman be is. 1t
Is very unfortunate that this state of
affairs existed but it is our opinion
that the proper thing has been done
under the circumstances and we hope
to see everything straightened out har-
moniOuslY.

W. G. MUNsoN, of Ohio, one of the
prominent free silver republicans of
that State, in an open letter to John
Sherman shoots it into him in this way:
You often, in your speeches, chal-
lenge your political opponents to an
swer close questions. Can and will
you, before retiring to private life, tell
the dear people who so long have sup
ported you, the secret of serving your
country thirty-six years on a salary Of
81, 900 at the same time living at a $l0,.
000-a-year rate, and retiring multi mil
lionaire? 1t would be lnterestion infor
nation for the rising generation-even
your young friend, VIM. ] Bryan,
might profit by it-and be an in
centive for others to emulate your ca
reer. The plain people have, for years,
been wondering how their self-sacrific-
ing public servant, John Sherman,
could accumulate wealth so rapidly,
while they, his constituents, grow
poorer each year."

though wild with excuses, yet purged,
purified and remodeled it into some
thing she never could bave otherwise
been. There was never yet priest, po-
tentate or prince, either of polity or in
dustry, who sat comfortably in Cust-
toned seat, but considered every such
attempt in the highest degree repre-
hensIble. But it has only been by such
attempts that democracy has been es-
tabl!shed and it is only by such at
tempts that it can be maintained.
