KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more With
less expenditure by 'more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste tbe refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions airi
met with the approval of the Inedi.ll
profession because it acts on. the Kid-
neys Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
“Very objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drop-
gists in 50c and $1 bottles but it is man
ufnctnred by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only whose name is printed on every
package also the name Syrup o' Figs
and being well informed you will uel
accept any substitute if offered.
Cures Others
Will cure You is a true statement of the
action of AYER’S Sarsaparilla when
taken for diseases originating in iinpuro
blood ; hut while this assertion is Jrueof
AYER’S Sarsaparilla as thousands can
attest it cannot be trullifully applied to
other preparations which unprincipled
dealers will recommend and try to im-
pose upon you as “just as good an
Ayor’s.” Take Ayer's Sarsaparilla and
Ayer’s only if you need a blood-purifier
and would bo bunefited permanently.
This medicine for nearly fifty years
has enjoyed a reputation ami made a
record for cures that has never been
equaled by other preparat ions. A Y Ell'S
Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he-
reditary scrofula and other blood dis-
eases from the system and it has desen.
yedly the contldonce of the people.

THE BATTLE WAGES.
Vest of MiMouri and Bailey of Tex-
as to tho Front.
“All day long the battle rages
| In the mountain down by the win-
ter sea”
: —“Sang the poet and his idea of the
| sea might be transferred to the Na-
tional Capitol at Washiugtou and yet
be appropriate” says the Washington
correspondent to the Dallas News.
Indeed it is said that the Senate
chamber and floor of the House of
I Kepresentativea reaeinblc nothing else
half so much as an ensanguined tlold
' of battle where forensic eloquence and
superior address have taken the place
of physical courage and martial dar-
‘ ring. In that great tourney of words
where the weapons arc airy shafts of
satire pointed with partisanship and
seconded by the heavier and more un-
wieldy mace of reason tho champions
on both sides are today engaged hand
to hand in a conflict more desperate
in character and determined in con-
duct than has ever before been waged
or witnessed on similar ground in
this great American republic. The
battle cry had scarce been sounded
when the champions of both sides
strode boldly forward and in stento-
rian tones fought the tight of tho peo-
ple each side protesting that it repre-
sented the blessed people and in the
Senate above the voices of the dis-
putants was heardjhe pleadings of tho
people in petitions asking that the
Sherman law be unconditionally re-
pealed that under ho circumstances
should it be repealed unless there was
free coinage that it be not repealed
unless there was a limited coinage
that it be not repealed unless there
was this ratio or that ratio or some
other ratio.
Early in the day Senator Voorhees
chairman of the finance committee in-
troduced his bill to allow national
banks to issue bank notes to the full
face of their bonds required to be de-
posited. The passage of the Voorhees
measure would put $19000000 more
national bank notes in circulation at
once and it is believed that the pres-
ent stringency will force its passage at.
a very early day.
Str. Vest took the floor in the Sen-
ate and he was interesting from tho
fact that hitherto his exact position
on the silver question has not been
known. At one time he was consid-
ered thoroughly in accordance with
the most extreme men—that is ho was
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver nt al6to 1 ratio. Then he was
paraded as a conservative—that is a
bimetallist with a conceding spirit
permeating his whole being. It so
happens that the election of a senator
to till his place comes up m a short
time in Missouri and Mr. Vest has
been studying the silver question
through the eyes of his constituents
in a most laborious manner. This la-
bor resulted in his becoming an out
and outer as far as silver is concerned
lie tackled Mr. Eckelsthe comptroller
of the currency for this gentleman’s
article in a magazine and said that
the comptroller was repeating only
the views of Mr. Cleveland. Warming
up he cut. al) the ties between him
anil the administration au<! casting
aside all possible hope of patronage
bounded into the air and soared. The
views of Mr. Vest were not at. all
original. He is a master in speech-
making but he only threshed over old
straw lie did this iu hut usual.enter-
taining manner. The senators who
have accused him of Hitting on the
fence were struck with his vnUiancy
when he got down.
In the House tho champion tlltcr In
tho tourney was Congressman Bally
of Texas. He has become learned in
tho acoustics of the hdll and bo un-
derstandl tho peculiar character of tut
audience of congressmen lie made
his points strong and clear ami did all
calmly and deliberately lie was re-
warded by applause from the silver
men all along his speech ami when he
was through ho was the recipient of
Uqndkkaklng from those who believe
bi his views. It Is not any flattery to
him to state that the sliver men are
more pleased with his effort than any
made by their side.
THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION.
It is openly asserted in Washington
that Cleveland's coudilloti physically
is such ns to seriously alarm bls friends
and gives cause for uneasiness among
all classes in that city. All attempts to
conceal the serious nature of the pres-
ident’s illness are said to be useless.
There may be no ground lor the
fright and the newspaper men do not
know just exactly how to write about
it. The truth is there Is a great
fright among Ids friends whether or
not It is warranted.
A senator in reported to have said
I that when Mr. Cleveland left here one
of his legs was swelled enormously
from disease while from another
I comes the story that his liver was
hardening and that ho might never
return to capital. These reports may
be sentimental but it is true that
every newspaper man is stopped when
he meets a friend of the president and
the inquiry as to his health is asked.
In conversation recently a gentleman
who is in a position to know where-
of he speaks said he would not be in
the least surprised if the president
was never to return to the capitol a
live man. There is no doubt that the
greatest uneasiness prevails as to his
condition. This fear may proceed
more from an interest in him than
anything else but the fear is intense
and honest.
The trouble with Mr. Cleveland has
always been his rather foolish confi-
dence in his physical endurence. He
has day in and day out imposed up-
on it until he has collapsed. The ques-
tion now is whether or not the recu
perative powers are left to bring back
his old condition.
VICTORY FOR ENGLAND.
Great Britain Secures a Victory in the
Behring Baa Controversy.
The Secretary of State at Washing-
ton has just received cable advices
from Paris which in general terms
confirm the Associated Press dispatch
that the decision of the Arbitration
Tribunal on all points involved in ex-
clusive jurisdiction over Behring Sea
was rendered against tho United
States. That is to say the tribunal
decided:
1. That Russia did not assert and
exercise exclusive jurisdiction over
Behring Sea and on tho seal fisheries
therein prior to tho cession of Alaska
to the United States.
2. Consequently Great Britain
never ceded any such righto to Rus-
sia.
3. That the Behring Son is not in-
cluded in the phrase “Pacific Ocean”
as used in the treaty of 1825 between
Great Britain and Russia; and
4. Consequently no exclusive
rights of jurisdiction over the Beh-
ring Sea and over tho fisheries there-
in passed to the United States with
Alaska under tho treaty of 1867. The
inference is it is under the last five
points submitted the arbitration by
article six of the treaty concessions
as to tho close of tho season a sixty-
mile protected zone and tho prohibi-
tion oftho use of fire-arms apply.
This fifth point was tho one on which
tho greatest stress was laid in the ar-
gument by the United States counsel.
It raised the question whether tbe
United States had any right to pro-
tection on property in fur seals fre-
quenting the island of Behring Sea
outside of the three-mile limit. The
preliminary abstract of the decision
received is regarded here as implying
that the tribunal to a certain extent
concluded this right only. In the fu-
ture seal life will be protected by vir-
tue of the international agreement
entered into under the award of arbi-
tration and not solely by authority
of the United States statute. The full
text of the award is anxiously awaited.
“SHOOT LUKE OR GIVE UP THE
GUN.”
Tho present grave condition of tho
country calls for quick and prompt
action on the part of Congress upon
the financial question and to tho Sen-
ate we would emphatically and
earnestly say hi the expressive pop-
ular phrase “shoot Luke or give up
the gun.” There must be no delay in
the Senate which should take immedi-
ate actionas soon as tho House does. If
tho silver question hangs fire like the
Hatch anti-option bill did lust fall it
will esult In untold disaster to the
busineu of the country—especially in
the South as It will not only depre-
ciate cotton and other products but
cause stagnation in every line of busi-
ness.
I«t tho Senate as well as the House
act promptly in this Important matter.
Tho electric light was invented iu
1846 and as late as 1876 was pro-
nounced by a high scientific authority
“a pretty toy” and the prediction
made that It would never bo anything
else.
Tho total product of tho Mexican
sliver mines from their opening by the
Spaniards to tho independence of tho
country in 1821 wai $2368952000.

I MORTGAGES IN ARKANSAS.
The Figures Given by a Special Bul-
letin of the Census Bureau.
The extra census bulletin of July
I 26 gives the following Information in
regard to Arkansas and her mort-
-1 gages on real estate:
“The real estate mortgage move-
ment in Arkansas from 1880 to 1889
was on the whole a progressive one
beginning with an incurred debt of
$2738128 and ending with an incur-
red debt of $8423747 in IM9. Thia
■ increase of 207.65 per cent in the in-
I curred debt during the ten years was
greater than the increase in popula-
' tion which was 40.58 per cent.
“Upon separation of the debt into
I that which incumbered acre tracts
I and that which incumbered lots it
will be noticed that there was a larger
rate of increase in the debt on lots
than in that on acres. The amount
of debt placed on lots in 1880 was
$624388 and there was an increase to
$3138057 iu 1889 although this
amount was exceeded by a few thou-
sand dollars in 1887. In 1880 2206
lots were mortgaged; iu 18897587 a
number greater than that of 1887.
The debt incurred on tracts rose
from $2113740 in 1880 to $5285690
iu 1889 and the number of acres
mortgaged in 1880 was 559000; in
1889 1182333.
“During the ten-year period a debt
of $52117856 was incurred repre-
sented by 80180 mortgages; 67.89 per
cent of tbe debt was on acre tracts
and 32.11 per cent on lots.
“The real estate mortgage debt ex-
isting January 1 1890 was 14866595
of whicli $9051117 or 63 per cent is
on acres and $5315478 or 37 per
cent is on lots. Only two of the sev-
enty-five counties of the state have a
debt as large as $1000000 and these
are Pulaski county containing Little
Rock with an existing debl of $2356-
792 and Sebastian county containing
Fort Smith with a debt of $1843748.
“Arkansas has a per capita mort-
gage indebtedness of sl3 and in this
respect stands lower than nny other
state that has been tabulated as ap-
pears in the following comparative
statement:
Alabama $ 26 Missouri... .$ 80
Arkansas 13 Nebraska 126
Connecticut... 107 N.Hampshire 50
Illinois 100 Oregon 73
Indiana 51 Pennsylvania 117
lowa 104 Rhode Island 106
Kansas 170 Tennessee.... 23
Maine 49 Vermont.... 84
Massachusetts. 144 Wisconsin.. 72
Minnesota 152
“Arkansas exhibits a mortgage
movement whose progress in com-
parison witli that of other states is
considerable although the magnitude
of tho movement is comparatively
small. During tho decade ending
December 81 1889 tho real estate
mortgages made and mentioning tho
amount of debt secured numbered
80180 and represented and incurred
debt of $52117856. Tbe amount of
this debt incurred in 1880 $2788128
and with some fluctuations there was
an increase to $8423747 in 1889.
“In each of tho following four coun-
ties a debt of more than $1000000
was Incurred during the ten years:
Garland county containing Hot
Springs. $2304689; Jefferson county
containing Pino Bluff $3220805; Pu-
laski county containing Little Rock
$7502007; Sebastian county contain-
ing Fort Smith $4451418. These
four counties represent 38.71 percent
of the mortgaging done in the state
during the decade. In 1880 5463
mortgages stating amount of debt
were made and 11668 In 1888. Tho
number of mortgages made iu 1889
gained 111.66 per cent upon those
made in 1880; the amount of debt in-
curred 207.65 per cent. During tho
ton years preceding June of 1890
the population increased 40.68 per
cent.”
