"As for the second argument, It ap pears even less well founded. Were this sum of money, Involved In the ap propriation distributed among the varl ous grammar and high schools through out the state, the share of each school would amount to only a few dollnrs, the effect of which would be scarcely felt at all. Furthermore, the Univer sity and not the lower schools.sets the pace In the educational system of a state. The University, by Increasing Its entrance requirements' will raise the standard of the high schools which In turn will react in a similar manner upon the grammar schools. "The last legislature determined to make It possible for the University of Oregon to Improve her educational facilities', so that in a few years her rank in the point of efficiency, would be second to none.

Ht3 (Continued from page 1) Of course such high commendation from snch a source made tne very proud of my State and I acknowledg ed his praise In the mt fitting term :it my command. He piled mo with questions about the conditions of af fair, especially political. In Indiana. His question, I remombir, were to the Point and displayed hl thorough knowledge of practical olltlei. Dur ing the conversation ho told mo he regarded Senator Mortnn as the most consummate volltk-al genoal In the whole country. When It Is remember ed that they were not on the best terms this was Indeed very high praise, and, as I afterward learned. Mr. Conkllng was not much given to praising any one. I was with him for more than an hour, and when I left him I felt that I had been conversing with a really great man. He was t great man-greal as' a lawyer, sup erlatlvelr great as an orater. I do not care for his vanity which became more and more evident as he grew older In years; hi fascinating power made you lose sight of such a lit tie foible. I met him two or three times during that visit to Washing ton, and at the last meeting he ex pressed a hop that should I at any time be In the State of New Tork. near his residence I should call on him. and he tendered his assistance If I at any time desire to enter the public ser vice, a tender he afterward made good, cturlng the administration of Presi dent Orant. I did not meet him again until the spring of 1S72, when I was once more In Washington. He was standing In the rotunda of the capltol ns I ap proached, with no though that he would recall either my face or name. He was conversing with a member of the New Tork delegation, but Joofclng up he saw me, and at once spoke my name. He was as kind as- suave as he had been at my first meeting with him, and ask me If there was anyth ing he could do for me. I spent a couple of hours In his company that evening, and left him more charmed and fascinated than ever. I listened to one of his great speeches on the fin ancial question and acknowledged that his reputation as an orator by no means surpassed his deerts. My best recollections of him, how ler, are connected with the campaign of 1880. It Is hardly necessary to re call the fact that he was bitterly dis appointed In the defeat of General Orant for the nomination In 1880. and resented that of Garfield. As the cam paign progressed the outlook for the Republican party was very gloomy, and It was thought neees-sary In In diana tn brln every Influence to bear to win the State (or Garfield. At the opening of the campaign Conkllng held aloof and Itwas charged that he was sulking In his tent, like Achilles before Troy, what Influence Induced him finally to throw his great weight In the scale I do not know, but I do know that he had muoh to do with the success of his party In In diana. At that time Indiana elected Its State officers in October, and It was felt necessary to carry the State at that election, and among others Speakers Conkllng was Induced to visit the State. If my memory Is right he made only four speeches In Indiana. I heard three of them. His' manner, while speaking, was as cold as an Icicle, and It wa evident from the start he cared nothing for Oarfleld, In fact, had rather a contemp for him, but his oratory was' so graceful, his words charged with so much logic: and hlx phrases go elequontly turn ed that his' audiences were thrown Into the wildest enthusiasm, and wherever ho spoke his party made large gain". Usually there must be some glow of enthusiasm about a speaker to awaken much among his hearers', but that was not tho cae with Conkllng in the campaign of 1880. In many respects he had changed very much from the man who had so cordially greeted me a dozen years bo fore. Then he was frank and free In hi" talk with newspaper men, and had no objections' to being quoted. In 1880 he would not submit to an Interview, no matter who asked for It. At the ho tels he kept closely to his room, re ceiving all callers with great urbanity, but If the caller was' a stranger he was sure to ask If he was connected with the press. If he was, he was told he was' welcome to hln room, but It must be with the distinct promise that not a word of what was said should be published. I traveled with him to three of his. appointments'. He would j talk freely about any matter that was before Congress; about foreign affairs; about the country at large, but not one word would he say about the political campaign then pending, or about the future of his party. If Orant wa the topic he -would grow eloquent In tell ing of his greatness as a commander and as a President. . I remember mentioning Senator Morton, In one of the conversations, when Mr, Conkllng said, In rather a musing manner; "A great man, a very great man; the hardest working man I ever knew In public life. His reported last words, The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of illi, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way The Value and Importance ot Ethical Remedies. Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and ire gentle yet prompt in died, and called ethical, because they ar of Known Excellence and Quality and o! Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California l'i) Syrup Company has published for many yean past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand In a laxative remedy of n ethical character'are assured by the California I'i Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Tig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxativci that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it ads, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effect and without having to increase the quantity' from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, arc wcl known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Fllxir of Senna, as more fully descriptive 'f the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always bo called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get Its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of cverv package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup 'of Figs and F.hxir of Senna, as Syrup of Hgi and F.lixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one si only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington. I).

I remember that In the liiree spe eches I hi-ard him make In that cam paign he never mentioned Ourfleld's name, nor did I hear him mention It during the several conversation I 'nad with him. I was In Washington at the opening of tho session of Oongrew In December, 1SR0. and again met Mr. Conkllng. I had been an enthusiastic Oarfleld man after his nomination, and forgot Mr. Corkllng's feelings to. ward him, and In one of the conver sations I had with him asked what kind of an administration Mr. Onr field would give the country. He hs. tated some little time before replying, and when he did reply It was' rather sentcntlously; "Ho will prove, "said he," a very great disappointment. No men can tie to him. He Is a creature of Impulse; Blaine will rontml him B ain, man In Hie uarty. He wIM din- appoint the country, and more than all will disappoint his party." In the same conversation he snld to me that Indiana was responsible for Garfield's nomination, very largely, and If the party was broken over It, must bear a large part of the blame. In explana tlon of this he said that had Indiana dtmid by Orant, the grat Oenera would have been the nominee, and Indiana's support of Maine In the con vention he charged against General Harrison, closing with the remark: "If your great S'-nator, Morton, had Ived he would have thrown Indiana t" Grant. Ho was' ono of Grant's chief advisers during his two terms, and knew him,, and would havo supported him. Indiana will never h"V, nnother Morton." 1 never saw the great New Yorker after this. When next I visited Wash Itigton he was out of tile .Senate, 11 soued, disappointed man. He was grt-uily blamed for resigning from the Senate, but his mistake was nut In resigning, but In seeking to be re turned. He knew Garfield, and know tho Influence that would control his administration, and knew that lo re main In the Senate would result only In continued humiliations and a pos sible break from his party. Conkllng did not lose by getting out of the Sen ate, but Now York and l"he country al large were the losers.
