CONGRESSMAN FITZPATRICK.
Says Pe-ru-na is a Splendid Ca
tarrhal Tonic.
Hon. T. Y. Fitzpatrick, Congressman
from Kentucky, writes from the Na:
tional Hotel, Washington, D. C, as fol
lows: "At the solicitation of a friend 1 used
your Peruna and can cheerfully recom
mend your remedy to anyone suffering
with catarrh or who needs a good
tonic" T. Y. FITZPATRICK. .. ,
A Good Tonic .
- Pe-ru-na is a -natural and efficient
nerve tonic. It strengthens and re
stores the activity of every nerve in the
body.
Through the use of Pe-ru-na the
weakened or overworked nerves resume
their natural strength and the blood
vessels begin at once to regulate the
flow of blood according to nature'slaws.
Congestions immediately disappear.
Catarrh Cured.
All phasesof catarrh, acute or chronic,
are promptly and permanently cured
It is through its operation upon the
nervous system that Pe-ru-na has at
tained such a world-wide reputation as c
sure and reliable remedy for all phases
of catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Ilartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Asks That McKinley's Pledges Be
Fulfilled.
NATIONAL HONOR AT STAKE.
The president sent the following message to
congress:
To the senate and the house: I deem it im
portant before the adjournment of the present
seHBion of eontrress to eall attention to the ex
pressions in the message, which, in the dis
charge of the duty imponed upon me by the
constitution, I sen to congress the first Tues
day of Deceml)er last :
Elsewhere I have discussed the question of
reciprocity.- In the case -of Cuba however,
there ure weighty reasons of morality, and of
national interest why the policy should be
held to have a peculiar application and I most
eornestlv ask your attention to the wisdom,
indeed to the, vital need of providing for a sub
stantial redaction in the tariff duties on Cuban
imports into the United States. Cuba has, in
her constitution, affirmed what we desired,
that she should stand, in international matters
in closer and more friendly relations with ns
than with any other power ; and we are bound
by every consideration of honor and expediency
to pass commercial measures in the interest of
her wejl being. . .-
This .recommendation was. merely giving
practical effect to President McKinleys words,
when, in his mesange of December o, IStS and
December 5, he wrote: "It is important
that our relations with these people (of Cuba)
shell be of the most friendly character and our
commercial relations close and reciprocal.
"We have accepted a trust, the fulfillment of
which calls for the sternest integrity of pur
pose and exercise of the highest wisdom. The
new Cuba yet to rise from the ashes of the pattt
must m-eds be bound to us by the ties of singu
lar intimacy and strength if its enduring wel
fare is to be assured. . - .
- . . " 4 .
"The great blessing which can come to Cuba
is the restoration of her agricultural and in
dustrial prosperity."'
Yesterday , June: 12, 1 received by cable from
the American minister in Cul a most earnest
appeal from President Palma for legislative
relief before it is too late and this) country
financially ruined.
The granting of reciprocity with Cuba -is a
proposition which stands entirely alone. The
reasons for it far outweigh those of granting
reciprocity with any other nation and aVe en
tirely consistent with preserving intac the
prospective system under whieh this country
has thriven somarvelously. The present tariff
law was designed to promote the adoption of
such a rcipro(ity treaty and expressly pro
vided for a reduction not to exceed 20 per cent
upon goods coming from a particular country
leaving the tariff rates on the same articles
unchanged as regards all other countries. Ob
jection nas been made to the granting of th
rediirrion on the ground that the substantial
benefit would not go to the agricultural p"n
ducer of sugar but would inure to the Ameri
can sugar refineries. In my judgment pro
vision can and should Ik made which will
guarantee us against this possibility without
ha vinp recourse to doubtful policy such a
bounty in the form of a rebate.. .
The question as to wKicMf any of the differ
ent schedules of the tariff ought most properly
to be revisid does not enter into this matter in
any way or shape. We .are .concerned ath
getting a friendly reciprocal agreement with
Cuba. This agreement applies to all the arti
cles that Cuba grows or produces. It, is not in
oui power o' fl.etermiefwhat' these; A-ticles
will be; and anydisrussloh 'df the tariff' as-it
affects special schedules or countries othrr
tltan Cultti,- is wholly aside from the subject
matter to which I now call your attention.
Home of our citizens oppose the lowering of
the tariff on Cuban products just as jtlrree
years ago they opposed the acini issionof the
Hawaiian islands, lest free trade uatfi them
might ruin certain of our interests "here. In
the actual event their fears proved,baseless as
regards Hawaii and theirpprehensions as to
the damage to anv industrv of our own because
of the proposed measure of reciprocity with
Cula seems to me equally baseless. In my
judgment no Americnn industry will be hurt
and many American industries will be. bene
fited by tne projMjsed Vctitrh. If is to 4ur ad
vantage as a nation that the gnwint Culmn
market should be controlled .by American
producers. The events following the war with
Spain and the prospt-ctive rmilding of ho
isthmian canal render it certain that we must
take in the future a far greater interest than
hitherto in what happens throughout the West
Indies, Central America and the adjacent
coasts and waters. We expect Cuba to treat
us on an exceptional footing politically and we
should put her in the same exceptional position
economically. The proposed action is jn line
with the course we have pursued as regards all
the islands with which we have been brought
into relations' of carving intimacy by the
Spanish war. Porto Rico and Hawaii have
been included within our tarifi lines to their
great benefit as well as ours and without any
of the feared detriment to our own industries.
The Philippines, which stand in a different
relation have been granted substantial tariff
concession.
Cuba is an important republic but a republic
which has assumed certain special obligations
as regards her international position in com
pliance with our request. I ask for her certain
special economic concessions in return : these
economic concessions to lenelit us as well as
her. There are fewer brighter paces in Ameri
can history than the page which tells of our
dealings with Cuba during the past four years.
In her behalf we waged a war of which the
mainspring was generous indignation against
oppression and we have kept faith absolutely.
It is earnestly to be hoped that we will com
plete in the same spirit the record so well be
gun and show by our dealings with Cuba that
steady continuity of policy which it is essential
for our nation to establish in foreign affaire if
we desire to play well our "part as a world
power.
We are a wealthy and powerful nation,
Cuba is a young republic still weak who owes
to us her birth, whose whole future, whose
very life, must depend on our attitude toward
her. I ask that wu help her as she struggles
upward along the painful and difficult rotid of
self governing; independence. I ask this aid for
Her Decause she is weak, because "she bleeds it,
because we have already aided her. I ask that
open handed help of a kind which a self r
specting people can accept.be given to Cuba,
for the very reason that we have given her
No Proof Against Gen. Miles.
Washington, June 14. By order of
the president the manner in which
certain papers were procured from the
files and given to Senator Cnlberson is
still under investigation. As yet there
is no proof that General Miles had
anything to do with the use of the
documents. - The president and Secre
tory Root take , the ground that they
have no right to snspect General Miles
or any other officer, but that they have
a right to learn if they can .the'identity
of the guilty person. -
Lyon County's Losses.
Emporia, June 11. Waters in the

.'. Washington, June 10. A proposition
to eliminate, the speaker- fropi the
future committee on rules .is i being
seriously considered by many leaders
.of the house. They believe that a com
mittee of from nine to fifteen members,
with a chairman of its own choice and
with no connection with the speaker,
would prove altogether more accepta
ble than the present arrangement,
which makes the speaker the dominant
force of the most powerful committee

Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it i3 mainly a ques
tion of right-living, with all the t?rm implies, bat the efforts which strengthen the system,
the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is
also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsani
tary conditions. To assist nature, whea nature needs assistance, it is ell important that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy
which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is Syrup of Figs manufactured by
. the California Fig Syrup Co, ' -
With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient char
acter and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to
the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a con
stipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and
pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of
any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required
remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with
the beneficial- effects of Syrnp of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty
cents per bottle. '
..The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the
combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and
nni&rmity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All tho members of the family
- from" the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and
share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of
known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently
and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every ob
jectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy tho
genuine and the full name of the Co. California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every
package, ' ' .
