KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly nsed. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with leas expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's beet products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraed in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches ind fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to tr illions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels witl out weak ening them and it is perfectl? free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in 50c and $1 bottles, bu : it ia man ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package., also the name, Synip of Figs, and being well informed, ycu will not accept any substitute if offered. The Deficit. It is time to face facts. The trouble in which the United States Treasury is involved is not due primarily to the defects in our curreecy system, grave as they are, but to a de6ciency of revenue. The income of the Government is less than its expenditure. It cannot pay its bills without bor rowing money. The figures giv en out by the treasury show that month by month we are running behind at a out the rate ol $70.tt00 000 annually. During tbe first ten days of Januarv the deficit was $6,213, 744, or at the rate of $321,374 -40 per dav. We must get $70,000 000 or so from some source. If we do not increase income or cut off expen ditures we must borrow to make good the deficit. We cannot cut off expenditures, as Congress is constituted. Obviously we must increase income. There are two ways out. One is to levy ta.ces that will yield enough money to run the Gov ernment. The other is to pro vide an easy and inexpensive method of protecting the nation al credit by the sale; of low -rate, short time bonds. But if this Congress is to pro vide either remedv it must set to work at once, and the Secretary must invoke its activity in the right direction. If this matter is not so adjust ed by the 4th ol March as to satisfy the public mind the Con gress will expire with a confes sion of hopeless incapacity for its record, and the President will be compelled to call upon its Re publican successoe for the needed relief. N. Y. World. What Paternalism Does. As the News aud 0b erver says: Paternalism is so wide spread that it may be said to al most dominate the whole coun try. Do the crops fail the cry is, "go to Congress for relief." Is there less demand for manufac tured goods, the c: y is, "goto Congress for relief." Are the factories closed and is there less work for wage earners, the cry is go to Congress for relief." Congress never did and never can cure all the ills to which hu man flesh is heir. Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Jackson never taught the people too look to legisla tion to do what they could do for themselves. Dependence upon Congress destroyes self-reliance and self help. It destroys the faith of the people in them selves and puts an end to indi vidual effort in all legitimate fields of industry. It concen trates business and cakes the many to enrich the few . Protection has wrought its perfect work. The many have been reduced to poverty. The great work of the plain people is to gird up their roins for a fight against ary and all special privileges.

An investigation was quickly made and the bodies of the tru ants were found in the woods. The Herkimer police and the coroner were notified, and the bodies will be brought to Herki mer.

It is reported that the Repub licans are seriously considering the proposition to combine with the Populists after March 4tb next, with the view of gaining strength in the South nnd West.

French of Pender county, who is illegally elected a member of the Legislature from New Hanover, needs to learn that this is not the Legislature of 1868-9.

It is a well known rule of parliamentary law that a mere majority cannot suspend the rules and put a bill on its several passages in one day. And yet while presiding on Monday, Mr. French so ruled and rushed through the bill rt pealing the law that required competitive bids for the pubi c printing.
