The change was complete in every branch of the state govern- ment, and the populists now have complete and undisputed control, and will be held strictly responsible for the success or failure that is made. Governor Leedy in his inau- gural address starts out in the re- form live all right, and if his sug gestions and recommendations are carried out there is no mistake that the populist administration will be an improvement over its predecessors. Kansas can stand a good deal of reforming without injury to the tax- payers. The Kansas City Times is making a vigorous and unrelenting fight against the gamblers and gambling hells of that city. It has also turned its gatling guns loose on the two democratic members of the police board and a fight royal ison. The Times is anxious to run the gamblers out of the city, and also that the police department be investigated as to their colusion with the gamblers. The matter has been taken to the state senate, a committee appointed and the X ray will be turned on in Kansas City and St Louis. If the charges of the Times can be estab lished and the committtee do their! duty without fear, friendship or favor, the Times will deserye the admiration, endorsement and hearty support of every decent, law abiding citizen of the city, for the faithful and firm stand it has taken in the interests of good government in Kansas City.

Talmage Aavises the Senate. Washington, D C.. Jan. 17.—Dr T DeWitt Talmage, in his sermon Sunday morning, referred to the ar- bitration treaty in the following | language: The mightiest, grandest move- ment for driving cruel war out of the earth dates from January 11, 1897. The men who on either side of the sea did most to effect that plan of arbitration have made them- selves immortal The evening of the present administration of the United States government has been honored with the gladdest event of eigbteen centuries.

I implore senators of the illustrious seuvate of the United States to allow nothin, to interfere with a vote of ratification, that the bells of all cbristendom may rivg out ‘Peace on earth, good will te men.’ Senaters, wavy of you my personal friends, let me say this is the opportunity of your lives. By emphatic and en- thusiastic vote, rise to the splendor of the occasion and win the favor of all the good earth and all the mighty of heaven Let the ‘Aye,’ ‘Aye,’ of our American senate resound through all the capitals of Europe, and make all the arsenals and arm- ories of the world hear that there shall be no more murder among nations The worst thing you can do for a man is to kill him.

At Atlanta, I desired to put as clearly and precisely as possible afew suggestions in regard to the goveroment, its uses and abuses. “The political friendships which I have formed have, as a rule, been with those who agree with me in purpose, rather than those who praise the manner of my speeches I may be at fault in not giving more attention to ornamentation but each oue has his ideals.

Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 14 — Captain Walt Bronaugh of Heury county is in J+ ffersou City obtaining the signatures of senators and repre sentatives toa petition to the Gov- ernor of the State of Mimnesota to pardon the Younger brothers, pow in the penitentiary at Srillwater Tt bas been said that be has obtained 115 sigvatures to the petition. a Gladness Comes Wit a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort ir the knowledge, that so many forms 0’ sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness ‘without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most veneral satisfaction.
