TfiE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
11 the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that, fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of. the CALI
FORNIA Fra Sykup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which, the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of -all other laxatives,
as it acts on' the kidneys, liver and
'bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

People overlooked the importance of
- permanently beneficial effects and were
satisfied with the transient action ; but
now that it is generally known that
Syrup of Figs will permanently over
come habitual constipation, well in

injure the system. Buy the genuine,

GIVE IT TO THEM.
They Expect It Would be IMsappoInted
Were It Not Forthcoming.
Our correspondent at. the capital now
regiatereth his kick in regard to the
manner in which' our ' law-makers are
performing their duties. . While there
no doubt is more truth than ' poetry in
his statements, it has always been, and
will continue to be the rule that those
in authority ocjn public places of trust
must of necessity be a target for the
complaints and kicks of those who have
placed them there. No matter how
much confidence we placed in the good
judgment and honor of these same men
when they were merely citizens, the var
nish seems to wear off and we begin to
suspicion them as soon as they receive
the title Senator or Representative. The
question is, what would we do were we
in their places?
Our correspondent says :
Salem, Oregon, Jan. 23. The twenti
eth biennial session of our state legisla
ture is not a bowling success as a reform
body in even the email eenee of the
word. . i,
To blind the people who pay taxes in
the state, the solons introduced a resolu
tion to reduce the number and pay of
clerks, so that the sum to to be paid out
at the regular session would be smaller
by some $4,000 for that purpoee than
would have otherwise been the case.
Each day since that resolution was
passed, has witnessed a short squabble
occasioned, by some clerkship talk or
other, the time alone taken up in such
controversy being approximately tor the
two weeks now gone by, about as long as
two working days as usually held by the
assembly. As the cost of each day's
sitting is about $1000, the saving if the
resolution stood, could be readily esti
mated, but that same resolution don't
stand. Instead, there are just aHout as
many clerks as ever, so the result of the
whole farce has been a loss to the state
of $2,000. "Consistency thou art a jewel
indeed," but such jewels are not found
at Oregon's state capitol. .
Grafts, and those looking after a polit
ical berth are lords of creation and
recognized as such by our law-makers
here. There is talk of a boiler inspector,
a game warden and goodness knows how
many different commissions, with some
outside 'counties vet to hear from. The
worthy measures are sleeping the sleep
of the just, dreaming as they lay in the
bosom pocket of some astute member,
of becoming great laws, in the sweet bye
and bve.
Members sworn to their constituents,
to reform matters at Salem, wink their
eyes at grafting schemes, and call for
another pretty committee clerk. One
man can do nothing, neither can a
dozen, but when a party sworn to redeem
the state from such things is overwhelm
ingly in power it really looks as if just a
little in the right direction at least,
ought to be accomplished.
With the same contempt for the man
who puts up the money to run the state
with, in this as in the other, the legis
lative body will consume forty days do
ing work that could easily have been
done in twenty. .
Still there's no use to kick. A charm
ing little committee clerk beats a full
band in Salem. - Diamonds are trumps,
and the clerks hold all the trumps.
