WIsE-YOUNG CONTEST.
Colonel william Lamb Gives Testi-
mony in Norfolk.


NORFOLK, VA, April 19.-(Special)-
The Wisely Dung contest case from the
Second District has been concluded, so
far as taking dispositions are concerned,
the last witnesses for Mr.. Young having
been heard to-day. Colonel William
Lamb, Republican state chairman. was
examined by Judge Wilcox, OF Young's
counsel. to-day regarding the break in
the Republican ranks last fall. which ac-
counted for the unusually small vote
polled by Or. Wise. The Colonel. as al
ways. was very guarded in his state
ments. and professed himself personally
ignorant Of many of the conditions al
legged TO have prevailed in the stormy
campaign of 1896 lie finally admitted.
however, that there had once been a
break In the party, but he considered it
settled by the withdrawal of Dyer and
the recognition of Wise by the National
Committee. OF the two conventions In
Hampton, the Colonel personally knew
nothing. Mr.. George Stevenss testimony
was along the same line, and chiefly no
table for his polite Characterization of
Mr. Bowden and his supporters. In
general summing up OF the situation by
friends of Mr.. Young. il is claimed that
the one vital and tangible result of the
whole great mass of testimony that has
been taken pro and con Is the positive
and palpable truth that DR.. Wise has
failed utterly to make out his case. DR..
Wise has pushed the button. as it were.
and Congress will do the rest. What that
Will be remains to be seen.

With a better understanding of the

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 a constipated condi.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why il 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 II Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. IL Is therefore
all 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, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended 10 the most skiliful

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-12-14

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
l noticed in the Journal few days ago a
communication from observer" in refer
ence TO the civil-service law, in which he
claims nine-tenths of the voters Of his COM
munity are opposed to the law. While there
is undoubtedly some opposition to the law.
yet in this community, which l judge is
not materially different from other commu-
mites in this respect, believe the conserv-
ative. business element stands shoulder to
shoulder for the law; and, further. that
many of those who express opposition to
the law would not be content to see its
absolute repeal. 1t is probable that most
of the opposition TO the law arises from the
life tenure, and TO overcome this by limiting
the term of service to six or eight years
would not seriously cripple the service and
be fair to all who are capable of passing
the examinations as now held. If anything
is to be done this seems a more sensible
way of dealing with a law which has GER
tainly proved. very beneficial, than TO de-
stroy ii because it has a feature which is
obnoxious to a certain class. The writer
has not been and is not opposed to the law
as it now stands. but if there are defects
in the law let it be amended, not repealed.
