An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of tho well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS. manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing 10 the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds. headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste. but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by method
known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP
Co. only. In order TO get its beneficial
effects and TO avoid limitations, please

A CARD.

Some complaints have been
made Of two editorials in our last
issue.
The editor was taken sick the
week before the paper was pub
lished, and was i'll for nearly eight
days. MIR. Smythe, our former as.
sOciate, was asked to furnish some
editorial matter Cor last issue, and
wrote the editorials mentioned
which we were unable to read un
til they came out in the paper.
Since IT aiding them we feel that
some expressions contained in
them, which were written hastily
and hurriodly, as Mr.. S. was leav.
ing for II trip west, arc too sweep
ing and severe, from our stand.
point, and should not have ap.
peared in the paper, and we re
greet that they did.

In our statements, and have no
desire, whatever, to wound the
feelings Of even tbs humblcst OF
our readers. Whenever obiec
tlonable or exaggerated state.
ments inadvertently get into our

The Meeting Tomorrow.

There is to be meeting of the
citizens of the town tomorrow for
the purpose of naming mayor
and members of the council for
the ensuing year. There should
be full meeting. All parties are
interested in these Offices. The
present council has given, so far as
we can hear, general satisfaction.
DIR. Doak has discharged his duties.
we believe, without partiality, and
to the very best of his ability. We
predict that he will be rc-nomina
ted and reelected. A good, strong
council is needed this year. The
question of electric lights is likely
to come up in the near future, and
wise, progressive business men DIRE
needed to handle the question and
dispose of 1t for the best interests
of the town. There ought to be
full meeting tomorrow, and no
doubt will be.

The Match and the Smoker.

The Windsor hotel has been RACED
to the ground. and several human
beings have lost their lives in conse.
quence.
This tragedy would have been Ia
1mcntablc enough had it been from
the hand of Providence, but as il is5
it is the work of n match and smok.f
er. With the unconccrn born of the
continuous use of the weed, and the
striking of matches, some un nown
person started the blaze that result
ed as stated. What mattcred the
result i'll comparison with the smok
er enjoying the luxury? What i'm.
pcrtincnce it would have been on
the part of the employee to have tap
ped him on the shoulder and told
him to suspend the work in which he
was engaged. He had right to
smoke ne had right to carry n
match; he had right to strike the
match, even though the building
were filled with innamablc mater in
and lace curtains hung all aroun l
hlm to catch the incipient blaze.
Today the anne smoker is striking
his match somewhere else. There
are funeral proceedings in several
directions; there are families in
grief; but our friend has the right to
enjoy his smoke and strike his
match.
Recently the cities of the Union
have been passing ordinances for the
purpose OF checking up the permits
cuous spitters. 1t was nuisance
which it was felt called for to remeA
dy, and the strong power of mnnic-
pal law is trying to meet it. Would
1T not be equally as well to do some
thing with those careless people who
cary Cd eout with the almost I'M
concern, and who care not, and who
are not responsible, even if they did
care, for the damage which they may
do! The most persistent sticklcr
To- what he. thinks his rights to be

A Question:.

The Orange Observer says that
the Democratic party in 1000 will
present a united front against i'm
perialism, and that it would not be
true to its traditions, and faithful
to it's principles, if it did other
wise. Democracy, continues the
Observer, means the rule OF the
people and the consent of the gov
erned, the strict limitation of the
executive power. Imperialism
means the Opposite-the ruIo of
officials, the consent of the gov
erning classes, the unlimited pow
or Of the Executive. 1t is the diff
erence between republic and EN-
pire.
Our Orange contemporary sets
forth clearly and succinctly the
obligation that rests upon the
Democratic party, aud 10 less
clearly and succ;nctly it defines the
difference between Democracy aud
Imperialism.
But VIII the Democratic party
in 1900 present united front to
Imperialism? That is. will the
Democratic masses have been
aroushd to full sense of their Oh.
legation, and a full appreciation OF
the difference between Democracy
and imperialism, or, what is the
same thing, Mckinley Republican,
ism.
1t is for their leaders to say. If
the answer is to be in the aiIirma.
tive, no time should be lost in or
ganlzlng for the crmpaign Of 1900,
stirring the people up to their
duty, and making the issues of
the campaign contest so plain that
he who runs may read.

The Walker-Hamilton episode III
Bristol is matter for profound
regret by all parties, Whatsoever
may be their political affiliations
Jeopardizing the lives Of tw,
prominent citizens, heads of fami
lies, is a very serious affair. 1t is
childish, to say the least, to blame
either party to the excusing en-
tIrely of the other. In all such
cases both parties are blamable
The difficulty could have and
should have been avoided. When
gentlemen differ there are hon
orable methods of settling thcil
differences, if a little time is taken
to think.
The custom of carrying pistol.
is one of the most nnfortunat,
among us. A little pistol i'm the
hip pocket and little flask in th.
breast pocket-thesc are two dan
gerous weapons, and have caused
many a crime and tragedy which
time, and even repentance, cannot
"urc.
The whole community sincerel,
hopes Tor the ultimate recovery OF
both the unfortunate victims Of
this unfortunate episode.
