Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts--gent.e efforts-pleasantc forts
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 constipatcd condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs. prompt
Nv 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 Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
II in tile enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one

PHYSICIANS. but if in need of Il laxative,

wel..iaformcd everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used anil gives most general satistactaon'

Senator Kyle has pronounced in
favor of the protection Of wool, and is
much pleased with the wool schedule
Of the new bill. Asked II his conscience
didn't trouble him for having voted for
the Wilson bill with free wool in it,
the Senator said: II voted against
putting free wool in the bill, but was
then SO much interested in the income
tax provision that overlooked many
other interests which were affected by
the measure. ] am now ready to vote
for bill to give the necessary reve-
nues, and l shall do all can to secure
adequate protection for wool, hides,
hay, barley, fax and other interests
which the farmers want protected. I
have been classed as free-trader, but
unjustly. am in favor Of raising the
necessary revenues by tariff, and
wish the rates so adjusted as to afford
protection to industries which need
protection"

Last week there was a meeting in
London of the bimetallic committee of
the House of Commons. Apart from
the members of parliament there were
several prominent bimetallic and we'll
known labor leaders present. Sir
William Henry Houldsworth, Con-
sentative, who was the delegate of
Great Britain to the monetary confer
ence at Brussels in 1892, presided. He
referred to tie growth Of bimetallic
opinion in England and other countries
and pointed to the fact that the special
commissioners Of the United States
were now on their way to France to
confer with the bimetallists OF that
country. The chairman also expressed
his opinion in strong terms that the
prospect OF an early international
agreement was never more hopeful.
The committee decided to closely
watch the international negotiations
and hold itself ready to actively co.
operate in them.

THE MURDER AT vRRMlLLlON.--

On page two of this issue our readers
will find a report Of the murder of
Guy Darrow alias John Moore at Ver-
million Friday night. The editor has
received personal letter from Ver-
million, stating that there was a feel
ing among many citizens there, that
the coroners jury made undue haste in
releasing the Wamsleys. AS long as
they are the principal, IL not the only
witnesses, it would have been we'll to
bind them over to the grand jury, and
let the whole affair be thoroughly in
vestigaaed. This sentiment has finally
prevailed, and Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs.
Wamsley were bound over for exami-
alton before the grand jury. II the
murder was committed in self defence.
no harm can come Of q thorough ex-
animation of the innocent parties; if
other evidence shall be discovered,
then the grand jury certainly has a
duty 10 perform. The COURIER be-
lieves this step is proper one, and
pleads for full, fair and impartial
examination.

1t is to be hoped that the Western
Passenger Association will not abolish
the Home Seekers excursions, as it is
reported they intend doing. These
excursions, run at reduced rate and
usually during the harvest period,
have been greatly instrumental in
bringing settlers to this and others Of
the newer states. We understand the
roads which complain that these ex-
cursions demoralize rates are the ones
that do none of this business.

The Forest Order Stands.


BY vote of 100 to 80 the house OF
representatives has refused to accept
the Pettigrew senate amendment to
the sundry civil bill, though rcserving
the right toinstruct its conferees on
the question. Like the debate in the
senate on this amendment, the debate in
the house was characterized chiefly BY
Incorporate abuse Of President Cleve-
land in relation to his order setting
aside some II, 600, 600 acres of the public
domain as q forestry reservation. As
the house refused to accept the Petit
grew amendment on the ground that
it objects to the enactment OF general
legislation in an appropriation bill and
did not base its objection on the mer-
its OF the order itself, the western sem
ators, who seem to be acting in behalf
OF the spectators Of the public domain
in the west, rather than the interests
OF the west and the entire nation, may
yet succeed in reversing the order II
they set about it in the proper way.
1t seems probable that President
Clevcland's order was somewhat too
sweeping, but as to the main body Of
the reservation there is scarcely q
doubt that the order should stand.
This. however, can be remedied, and
doubtless will be without the reversiOn
of the entire reservation to the public
domain. and consequently to the spoil
iation of timber thieves and depreda-
tors. New York recently passed . bill
appropriating d ,OO0, 600 TO establish =
clear claim to certain parts Of the Ad-
irondack park reservation. That state
fully appreciates the value OF the for
ests OF the Adirondacks to the state,

THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1897,
The Dccision in--thc Regency Case.

Tho Decision in-thc Regency Case.
Last week the Supreme Court handed
down decision in the disputed regen.
cy case, denying the petition OF the
old board for az Injunction to restrain
the new board from acting, and author
izing the new board, for the present at
least, to perform the duties of the posi-
ton. This decision was arrived at
without going into the question of the
validity of the amendments. Justice
Haney, who rendered the decision.
plainly intimated that the regency
amendment would be held to be INVALID
when the court reached 1t, on the
ground that two matters which the
constitution requires should be submit
ted separately, we're voted upon as one.
This decision then settles nothing,
only that the new board may act tenn
porarily during the pending OF further
proceedings to determine the validity
Of the constitutional amendment.
Many Of our exchanges we notice take
the position that this decision throws
doubt upon the validity OF all OF the
amendments carried last fall. The
whisky interest has been greatly con-
cerned in this suit, and at the hearing
at Pierre the attorneys who argued
the case for the new board, according
to Pres. Adams OF the old board, adj
mitted they were employed by the
whisky men, since they have an equal
interest with the new board in the
validity OF the amendments. THE
COURIER begs leave to differ from
these opinions, for the reason that the
irregularity referred to by the court is
peculiar to the regency amendment,
and does not affect the others. There
are other grounds, and very substan.
tial and valid ones too, upon which the
validity OF all the amendments in COM
mon might be attacked. These are
not referred to In this decision. We
anticipate that in the end the regency
amend ment will be declared invalid,
while the. constitutionality Of the other
amendments, at least the one repeal
ing Article "a, will be affirmed.
