The interest in the yacht races being
sailed in the contest for the Americas
cup. which is being manifested
throughout the country by thousands
who never saw a yacht or the ocean. is
remarkable at first glance. A certain
amount of it may be and probably is
due to a patriotic desire that the Co
lumbia shall beat the British boat. But
there is more than that behind it. Tt is
largely due to extensive and persistent
advertising. So much has been printed
for weeks and even months past about
the great international contest, that
the attention of the public has been
forced in that direction whether it will
or not Convince a man that others are
interested in a thing and his attention
is at once secured Nobody knows the
secret of the interest in the yacht races
better than the successful merchant.

The reduction of war taxes as a
means of Iessening the revenue has
been almost an entire failure. This is
explained by Secretary Gage on the
theory that the business of the county
has increased SO largely as to make up
for the amount RENTED. The surplus
fn the treasury has been further in
creased, it seems, by a large decline
in expenses. so that if 1t had
not been for the purchasing of bonds
the financial situation would have been
worse than it was before the new reye-
nue. law was passed.

From the testimony of Admiral Bob
Evans regarding the Battle of Santiago
appears that while the Texas was get
ting out of the way of the Brooklyn
and the Iowa was trying to escape be-
ing damned by the Texas, the Oregon
shot in between the two and went on
after the Spaniard. There seems to
have been a general scramble to be in
at the death. Under the circumstances
Ii certainly looks that there was glory
enough to go around Even Sampson
might have had a share if he had be-
haved differently after it was all over.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIes, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid 1axa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the ore 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 a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

no mistake that will not be taken ad-

goods to sell in some other community

''You know, as know, that one Of the
necessary things to make a great city, to
give confidence to the people who are of
you, or who will be of you, is the correct
solution Of the problem that Is before us
within the next three or four days, to wit:
Are we to have a government for this
city such as we ought to have or are we
to put into Office the tool, the creature of
interests that are adverse to US? Are we
to do that which will destroy confidence,
or are we by putting in an efficient and
honest administration to build it up?
That is the question that you as citizens
of San Francisco will have to answer at
the ballot-box on Tuesday next.
Gentlemen, no man need to make a
mistake, no man need to go wrong upon
nation, for the sunlight of truth is shin

Secretary Corey came back later and the
