AT THE BANQUET. Ex- President Cleveland Expresses his Opinion of the Present Administration. The following extract taken from; the speech of ex-president Cleveland delivered at the annual dinner of the Reform Club, at hotel Waldorf, New York City, in his reply to the toaet, “Presert Problems,” gives his opin ion of the conduct of the present admiuistration in subordinating the currency question to that of the tariff: The perty placed in power as the result of splendid democratic patri otism has tailed to meet the obliga- tions of the people's trust.

Mr. Sewall and family barely escaped with their lives. The dedication of the monument to the memory of General Grant in New York Tuesday was one of tke most imposing scanes ever witnessed in the United States. President Mc Kinley’s address was a fitting epi tome of the lifeand character of one of America’s greatest warriors, states man and citizen. The day was perfect and the crowd in attendance was simply immense. The monument cost a half million dollars aud was erected by the citizens of New York City. The ministers alliance at War- rensburz has bursted up in a row. The alliance held a meeting and agreed to support the nominee for mayor opposed to the saloons and whisky. The democratic candidate happened to be the man. One of named bim. The election of McKinley, how- ever, opened up new vistas to the thrifty Bates County merchant. Publicly it was declared he would stand by the machine and do its bidding. But little grains of gossip soon grew toa huge scandal, even invelving on3 Congressional Com- mittzeman. Charges of yenality were rife. Ata recent meeting of the committee at Harrisonville there was an open rupture. One member was fired bodily and a resolution was adopted, it is said, denouncing Mr. Hamilton and disowning his acts. This was speedily transmitted to Major William Warner, who was then in Washington, and 80 well did he use it that word comes back that a certain high official of the Post Office Department has remarked that “any man having Hamilton’s indorse- ment on his application 1s blanked unlueky.” Then Hamilton hied to Wasbinog- ton in the desperate hope of retriev- was unreservedly in favor of sound the ministers, after pledging him ing hie fortunes.

The alliance took him to task and the row which followed severed the brotherly love. Preach ers should dwell together in unity. The Federation of Tabor has ad- dressed @ memorial to President McKinley and his Cabinet. The memorial is not partiean, it is a straight business document and lays bare the fact that there are now 3, 000,000 willing hands idle. It calls the President’s attention to the fact that his pro election promises have not been fulfilled, and that the pres- ent course of the administration will not fulfill them. It points out that the promised prosperity has not arrived and the same depression and destitution still prevails. The me- morial doss not ask for a change in the tariff law. The Federation will get an answer to its memorial from the stump orators in 1900. VO Bates county post G. A.

S. senate and House of representatives,now in session, to repeal the said civil serv. iee rule, as it is unjust and works a great bardsbip on disabled comrades. A copy of the resolution was for- warded to Hon. D. A. DeArmond to its unjustness in scope. The resolu-| moned, rumor says, to be a sort of referee. Jurden has fought on both sides. Chosen last summer as an anti Kerens delegate to the National Convention, he was strongly sus- pected of casting a Kerens ballot in that memorable contest for National commiltseman and soroundly cursed was he for his alleged treachery that he has spared no pains to reinstate himself in the favor of the district machine. Kerens is said to feel kindly towards him, and the Filleyites would doubtless let bygones be by gones in order that he might be the agent of their salvation. The news that Your Uncle Chauncey himself is to go to Washington has created a still greater flutter in Sixth Dis- trict Filleydom. Things are so beau- tifully mixed down there that the Filleyites feel with touching confi dence that if the erstwhile big boss is oncs permitted to glue his lips to the Presidential esr for a bare five minutes the terrible load of depres- sion which has been weighing down their spirits for the past two or three months will be lifted and several large slices of pie in the shape of post offices will come their way. We publish the above as a matter jf news. It appears to be a factional fight between the two wings of the republiean party.

Tampa, Fla, April 25 --Passen- gers who arrived from Havana by the Mascotte this afternoon say tbat, through the efforts of Consul Gen erel Lee, Ona Melton, who has been confined in Cabanas for more than a year, will be released to morrow morning; aleo, that Jose Fernandez and G. W. Aguirre, the latter a brother cf the insurgent General Aguirre, will be released the first of the week. From a gentleman who has spent the last four months in Cuba the following is gleaned: The govern- ;ment is gradually deporting ths regular troops from the island at the rate of 500 a week, and this will be continued until all the regular army is removed, leaving the local Cubans and Spaniards to protect Spanish interests. At the present time the government owes the army $55,000,- 000, and on the 1st day of June will have to raiss $200,000 to pay inter est on the war debt. The income of the government from the island is stated to be $1,300,000 per month, and the expenses $11,000,000. It is believed tbat, in view of the Graeco Turkish war, the powers will not make further Icans to the Spanish Government, and this is the reason for withdrawing the troops. If Eu- rope does or does not become in volvei in war, it is believed in Havana that the government will have to abandon Cuba for lack of funds, and that the present deporta tion is the beginning of the end. Pinar del Rio has been declared pacified by Weyler for six months, but there are still 3,000 Spanieh sol- diezs there, and skirmishes take place almost daily. Santa Clara has been declared pacified, but armored cars and men to man them are sent through en eyery train. Every depot is fertified and a garrison is stationed in each, there being about 500 of these sta ticns, and eagagements near Havana are of almost daily occurrence. Another expedition was Janded fifteen miles on the Matanzas side of Guanabacoa during the past week, but details are lacking. The most heartrending scenes of misery and want are witnesre! in every camp of the refugee pacificos. Not Jess than 200,000 persona are now actually starving t» death in these miserable thatched death traps that Weyler has set for a atruggling foe. They are dying at the rate of about 70a day, and it is believed the rate of mortality will bs greatly increased in theic crowded, unsani tary condition by the heated season United States Coceul Brice, of Matanzas, reports that children are dying in the streets.

The woman at first became hysterical and finally lost her reason. It was necessary to use force to carry her to relatives in Doniphan Couaty, where it is hoped the quiet will restore her reason. Manilla, April 26 —Twenty-five thousand insurgents, who bave not submitted to the Spaniards, have taken up a position in the mountaing and are cffsring a stout resistance to the treops.

Gladness Comes With 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 onl remedy with millions of families, and everywhere esteemed s0 highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which otes inte 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 manufactu: 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, laxat:ves 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. 97, eG
