An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-

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 a method

THE ASSEMBLY INVESTIGATION.

An investigation OF the Surrogate's office in
this city by special committee Of the Assem-
bly, has been ordered and the committee has
been appointed The resolution was carried
through with unusual ease and rapidity, and
we hope that the inquiry will proceed with cor
responding promptneSs and decision Legisa-
tive Investigations are not extremely popular
Even when no improper motive inspires or bad
use Is made of them. they often fail TO produce
results worth the time and money that they
cost. In this instance many professional COM
plants appear 10 indicate n somewhat general
belief that the business of the Surrogates office
is not we'll managed The Surrogate. on his
own behalf. declares that there is an immense
amount of work to be done, that IL is turned off
as fast as could reasonably he expected and
that the censurc to which he Is subjected Is
chiefly due to the natural inclination of every
man to consider his own interests OF paramount
importance and to claim priority. We have no
desire TO PREJUDICE the case. All we insist on is
that inasmuch as there is TO be an investigation
it ought to be model in conduct and results.
Apparently the committees task is not par
ticularly difficult one, requiring great deal OF
time and labor The resolution is in the usual
form. bcstowing all necessary facilities and
authorizing the employment of counsel Doubt
less the investigation could be made long and
costly but we think II can be made short and in
expensive well as thorough The chairman.
Mr.. Fallows. is n now man In politics who took
to Albany an excellent reputation for talents
and character which he honestly desires and
reasonably expects TO enhance. At the begin
! ming Of his public career he has an unusual OPP
portunity to distinguish himself in a line of
work in which we arc inclined 10 think more
honor has been lost than won We sincerely
hope that he will succeed in furnishing n teach
ing example Of the way In which such duty as
that 10 which he has been assigned ought TO he
performed Being a competent lawyer himself,
he may IN 1t unnecessary for his committee
to contract a large expense for counsel fees. II
SO, he viii be generally regarded as ha wing
made good art Then, If he is vigorous and
assduous instead of datory and easy-going
while scrupulously decorous and just, that
! the committee is seen TO he imbued with n sense
of public care. its proceedings and conclusions
Will command respect and the community will
feel that il haa been well served
There are cot many Investigations Of this
/ sort. but 1t Is .ne only sort worth having. Mr.
| Fallows and i.is colleagues have fair field and
| all the favor ihcy need.
