Probable Drowning.

Word came from Davenport yester-
day afternoon for the Rock Island
police department to be on the look
out for Information concerning the
supposed fate of John N. Malchau,
whom it is thought is at the bottom
of the cold Mississippi. Malchau is
described as young man Of 80
years and has wife and two small
children who reside at 1896 West
Fourth street, Davenport. NAL
chau was employed at the Sylvan
Steel works, which he left at
o'clock Wednesday evening and has
not been seen or heard from since.
The theory is that Malchau rode in
the street car from Moline down to
the Rock Island Plow works and
there started across the ice for home.
which is in the lower end of Daven-
port. There are numerous air holes
at the point where Malehau is sup
posed to have attempted to cross and
it is thought he went down in one OF
them.
The missing mans family is now
more inclined to the belief that in.
stead Of having fallen in the river he
has wandered off while suffering
with temporary alteration.

The Porte.

The porte is the short name Of the
sublime porte. which is the official way
of speaking Of the Turkish government.
In the east judicial business is transact
ed Mt the city or palace gates. One story
says that the sultan Of Bagdad put in
the portal Of his palace piece Of sacred
black stone Of Mecca, thus making his
gate the porte. Another says that Sultan
Orkhan built a gorgeous gate to his
place in Broussa. Both of these stories
are probably untrue so far as they pur-
port to explain the name as applied to
tho Turkish government. Just as the
British court is called the court Of st.
James and the late French court that
Of the Tuileries, because their head
quarters were in the palaces of st.
James and the Tuileries respectively, so
the Turkish court got the name sublime
porte because its headquarters We're in
the palace Of Bab-i-H umayun, or the
Lofty Gate, in Constantinople. The
name has been attached to the building
in that city which shelters the four prin-
cipal departments Of the government

NkTith a 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
1y 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. Its 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,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
hysicians, but if in need of a 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.

World says. The sugar trust
has gainl competi or. For a
long lime it has been Matching
under the guidance Of as sharp

by getting professional advice
Of expert sugar makers from
the German reiineries and tech
nical schools, and there are now
in This country several of the
leading sugar makers OF tue
continent.
Among those in the combine
are the big Moiienhaner refinery
in Brooklyn, with a capacity Of
$500 barrels of refined sugar
output per day; at Yonkers, a
refinery with 1900 barrels daily
capacity; the MeCann refinery
in Philadelphia, rated at 2O0O
barrels per day; tue Revere re-
inely in Boston, capacity 1900
barrels; the Henderson works
in New Orleans, capacity 500

capacity 1900 barrels; the Cam
den works in New Jersey, not
YET finished, estimated capacity
1890 barrels, ana The ArbuckIe

7ertile Record
So far as the textile Industries are con-
cerned, the whole Tariff controversy is
embodied IN this question: Shall we
clothe our people with fabrics made in
our own mills from our own fiber OF
shall we permit the work to be done and
the profits to be pocketed by foreigners
We supply the world with raw cotton,
from American fields, and American mills
can produce cotton fabrics equal to the
best made anywhere; but last year we
paid to Europeans $33, 900, 900 for cotton
goods. We grow wool of nearly every
variety, and we can grow all varieties, 10
sufficient quantity for the needs of our
population; but last year we imported
$36, 600, 900 of wooden fabrics no better
than those we make at home. And, under
a system of free wool, the value of Amer
lean fiocks shrank from $37, 900, 900 in
1898 to 800, 900, 900 in 1895. Thus, while
much of our machinery is idle, much of

workmen are unemployed, American

capital and work to European laborers.
II il be true, as beyond all reach of sue
cessful dispute it is, that the highest de-
gree of advantage for a nation accompan-
les the nearest approach 10 industrial in-
dependence, then we deliberately surren-
der advantage when we permit others TO
do for us the necessary work which we
might do for ourselves. Possibly we may
obtain some articles at lower cost by pur.
suing this policy; but the difference be-
tween the cost represents loss suffered
by individual American producers and the
nation as a whole. To buy certain ia
brics at slightly smaller price is not a
compensation for the heavy losses follow
ing upon the idleness OF workmen and
the unproductiveness of American capital.

CLARK PLERSON, Editor.
LAMBERTvILLE. N. ].
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 1, 1896.

The Presidents message on the Ven
ezuelan dispute was ''clap of thunder
out of clear sky" Nobody expected
such message from him. He has not
been noted for his patriotism or his Amer
icanism. He has represented English SEN
timent rather than American sentiment
on many questions-notably on the tariff
question. Whether his success in killing
ducks on the peninsula led him to feel
that he was a f'biger man than old
Grant," and that he could lead the van in
the fighting if occasion required, nobody
but himself knows, but be suddenly
shows belligerent spirit in his foreign
policy that is quite unusual.
Being quite unusual, it is not unfair TO
to infer that the guns fired off at England
were intended for the people of the
United States and were expected to do
execution at the next presidential election.
That Cleveland expects TO succeed himself
there can be no question.
The message struck a responsive chord
in the American heart. People did not
stop TO think. They felt that England
had defied and insulted US, and it must be
confessed that Lord Salisbury's note was
irritating and insolent in style. But the
sober second thought has come.
We do not want war with any power,
much less with England. 1t should be
the last resort, after every honorable
method had been exhausted and when the
cause justified the final resort. John
Bull is something of bully and is alto
gether too much inclined to be domineer-
ing as government, but behind all this
and behind the nominal kingy govern
ment, there is one of the greatest repre-
sentative governments on the face Of the
earth. 1t has established a Democratic
empire in Australia, and wherever the
British flag flies, there is law, order, pro-
gress and protection to the humblest.
Between our nation and that of Eng
land there are peculiar ties, both of lam
guage, race, government and religion,
that exist with no other, ard added to
these are commercial interests of vast i'm
portance. That all these should be sac
rificed to a horrible war when common
sense, moderation and justice ought to de-
eide the question al issue, seems irration-
al and unnatural. 1t is not likely 10 be.
The message fortunately came so close
TO The time of the glad anniversary of the
advent of Him who came to bring ''peace
on earth and good will to men" as to car
ny with it its panacea.

A Democratlc naper announces that

"A Democratic paper announces that
'the Democrats are going TO give the Re-
publicans genuine reform in the next Leg

bills will be introduced by them TO cut
down the governors salary to So, 900 and
greatly reduce the salaries of the state

tempt is phenomenal. These salaries were
raised TO their present high scale by the
Democrats, and as long as Democrats
were in possession of the offices, they
would not listen TO any action toward re-
duciug them. Now that the Democratic
occupants are going to get out, it is not
improbable that some cheap demagogue
will imagine that he can make capital for
himself and his party by introducing such
a bill. Should such bill be introduced
by any Democrat, il should not receive
even the respect of being referred The
Republican party has been chosen by the
people of New Jersey to make needed re.
forms and they will attend to the duty
without any aid from representatives OF
the men who made reforms necessary.
