Dr. Parkhurst Discusses Charges
Against Tammany officials

Against Tammany Officials
New York, Jan. s.-Discussing the de-
velopments and the attitude of Tam
many in connection with a system of
protection for gamblers and other forms
of vice in this city, DR.. ParkhurSt said
last night.
If these charges are true and can be
presented by the district attorney as
absolute evidence resulting in the con-
NlcDOn or the guilty men, It VIII be a
great thing for justice and the city
We all have known that these crimes
Of Tammany existed. but the names OF
know, particularly as to how the system
worked, and what portion of it reached
Tammany Hall as an organization If
the district attorney can go before the
grand jury, substantiate these charges
with names and dates, connecting the
men who paid the money with the
criminals who received it, it will mean
Sing Sing for a. lot of them
There is nothing so important for re-
form in New York as to cut the strings
Of Tammany's treasury
THE leaders never cared for anything
but money All their apparent interest
in organizing so-called reform move
ments has been mere pretense. With
the proof, there is no reason why Mr.
Philbin should not make quick work of
it, and remove the necessity for Mr..
Cookers return to New York.
IF we could get about 100 Of the gang
into Sing Sing the city would have
some chance for it, municipal life. To
convict Tammany as an institution is
one thing; to convict its guilty members
as individuals is quite another. 7 have
always believed in the ultimate trf-
umph Of virtue and the people It looks
hopeful TO hear that gamblers have
quarreled with the system Matchmaking
them.
Complaint has been made of the
mayors inactivity. But Mr. Van Wyck
has been unable to do anything, even if
ne wanted to. The Tammany system
is in control
From the present disclosures it looks
as if Fammany Hall might be destroyed
this time. 1 hope they will be sustained

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF F1Gs, 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 to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
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-
manent1y. It's 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 FIe SYRUP
