THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Fig SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALL
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

A National Park at vick.burg.

The House committee on military af-
fairs will undoubtedly report favorably to
the House a bill TO establish a national
military park at Vicksburg The propos-
al is for the government to acquire l2OO
acres Of land where occurred the chief in
cidents of the Nicksburg campaign, and
TO have this tract restored as nearly as pos
slble to its condition in 1868. Two of the
commissioners who will have charge of
this work must be veterans of the Union
army and the remaining one a veteran of
the Confederate armv, al of them having
actually served in the siege or defence of
Vicksburg
The bill was introduced by Mr.. Catch
ings of Mississippi, who represents the
Nicksburg district, and who served in the
Confederate army through the entire Civil
war. 1t is supported with much warmth
by veterans of both armies in Congress,
but especially by those who belonged TO
western regiments and served in the west
ern campaigns. These western veterans
regard the victory of Grant at Vicksburg
as much turning point in the war as was
the battle of Gettysburg, The two vic
tories were almost simultaneous, and are
considered to have reconsecrated the
Fourth of July for at just about the time
of the repulse of Pickett on the field of
Gettysburg, Pemberton sent out flag of
truce asking terms of surrender for Vicks-
burg. The country was electrified on the
morning of the Fourth of July, 1868, by
the news of the two successes.

President Mckinley was the guest of
honor and the principal speaker at the ban
quet Of the National Association of Manu-
facturers of the United States, which was
held last night at the Waldorf Astoria
hotel, New York. This was one of the
largest and most elaborate affairs of the
kind ever given in that city. one thou
sand guests were seated at the tables. The
noteworthy feature of the Presidents ad-
dress was his renewed declaration for the
integrity and stability of our currency, and
for the inviolablity of our bonded oblga-
tions. The speech, in its effect, served
notice on the silvertes, if notice were
needed, that even could Mr., Teller get his
resolution for the payment of our bonds in
silver through Congress, it would meet an
emphatic veto at the hands of the Execu-
tive.

The crisis in the senatorial contest in
the Maryland legislature for successor to
Mr.. German came Tuesday when Louis E.
McComas, now a judge of the supreme
court of the district of Columbia, was
elected United States Senator for the six
year term beginning March 4, 1899. This
result is hailed with unqualified satisfac-
ton by Republicans, not of Maryland
alone, but throughout the country Mr..
McCOmas is an old-line Maryland Re-
publican who has long been a leader of
his party in that state. He served several
terms in the House of Representatives in
Congress, and was appointed to the bench
by President Harrison He is a man of
unquestioned ability, probity, and strength
of character. His appearance in the
United States Senate will be welcome
change from German and Gormanism.

ed States supreme court. Mr.. Griggs is
As years old. He graduated from La

admitted to the bar three years later. He
was elected to the New Jersey legislature
in 1875, being the youngest member of
that body. He was reelected the follow
ing term He was a member of the state
senate in 1882, 81 and SO, being presi-
dent of that body in the latter year He
declined an appointment as Judge of the
supreme court of his state in 1895, and in
