EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 1888.
DEAR GAzn'r'rn z—Thc legislative mills
are beginning to grind, slowly it Is true,
but before the end of the session (with
both parties shaping everything with ref—
erence to its bearing upon the approaching
Presidential struggle), it will be found,
that like the mills of the gods, Congress
Will grind “exceeding fine." With the
earnest promptitude for which he is noted,
Senator Platt has already reported a bill
fir the admission of the southern half of
Dakota as a state. The necessities of the
Democratic party, however, are such that
no territory that is not sure to giveitselcc-
toral vote to their Presidential candidate,
has the remotest chance to he let in. If
Dakota had a population equal to New
York, it would make no difference to the
present Democratic House. It would
have to stay outside the sisterhood of
states unless a‘Democratic electoral vote
were assured in advance of admission.
Senator Hiscock has introduced a bill,
which it is hoped, may pass the House, to
increase the monthly pension for loss of
one hand or foot to $30; for loss of an
arm at the-elbow or leg at the knee, to
$30; and for loss of an arm near the
shoulder or leg at the hip, to $45.
Senator Merrill has reported a bill from
the finance committee, to credit and pay
to the several states and territories and
the District of Columbia all moneys col-
lected under the direct tax act of August,
1861. The Democrats oppose this method
of “reducing the surplus" in the treasury,
because it would tend to defeat their free
trade efiorts. There seems to be nothing
so disturbing to the average Democratic
statesman as a “surplus in the treasury."
When the Republicans elected their first
President the national treasury was bank—
rupt and the national credit so low that
difficulty was found in floating our bonds
at heavy discounts. The Republicans
surrendered the national administra ion
with a full and constantly overflowing
treasury and with our credit the highest
of any nation on the globe and the Demo.
cracy is in agony over this condition of
things and must forsooth repeal our tariff,
derange trade and manufacturing and cut
down the wages of laborers, so as to get
rid of this aggravating “surplus” and help
the manufacturers and degraded work-
men of the old world.
As has been usual, since the democrats
have had control of the House, at the
opening of every new session, an “Emer-
gency Deficiency Bill’rhas to be rushed
through. The reason of it is, the sham
reformers of the House think they can
fool the people by cutting-down the regu-
lar appropriations, though they know by
so doing the business of the goVernment
will be crippled, and then the first thing
to be done on the convening of a new ses-
sion is to rush through an “Emergency
bill.” Mr. Sherman, en the appearance of
this bill in the Senate, moved that all
claimants whose claims are to be paid in
accordance with the provisions of the bill
shall be entitled to six percent. interest
from the time when the deficiency bill of
the last Congress failed to pass. This is
but an act ofjusticc to dealers and credit-
ors of the government who have been
forced to wait more than a year for
moneys that should have been appropri-
ated by the last Congress.
Senator Chandler stuck his first thorn
into the Confederates last week, in his
resolution to investigate the conduct of
U. S. Marshals, U. S. District Attorneys,
&c., in reference to their participation in
the acts of intimidation by reason of which
the colored people in Mississippi were kept
from the polls. His short and incisive
maiden argument was like the proverbial
shoveling of hot coals on the eels. ‘
Senator Hale also poured hot oil on'the
laceratcd backs of the Clevelant "Re.—
formers" in the Senat_e, in his resolution
fora select committee to examine and
report on the actual condition of the civil
service, at the present time. He declared
that his object in offering it was to secure
an investigation with a sincere purpose of
bringing before Congress the present act—
ual condition of the civil service of the
country and also the performances of cer-
tain high and low officials of the govern-
.ment. At the commencement of Mr.
Lincoln’s administration the public oflices
were filled with the adherents of that
party which was the exponent of the
doctrine that to the victors belong the
spoils. Under that administration the
chief test of fitness was loyalty. Not a
few of those their appointed had within
the last three years been turned out on
the cold charities of the world to make
place for men who never had any sym-
pathy with the principles of which Mr.
Lincoln had stood as the great repre—
sentative. He quoted from an interview
with Mr. Cleveland published in Boston
in 1885, in which Mr. Cleveland is reported
as saying: “ have tried to be true to my
own pledget and to the pledges of my
party. We both promised to divorce the
offices of the country from being used for
party services.” Here they had as clearly
.as words could give them the pledges of
the administration to the civil service ie—
foriners. Mr. Hale said .110 had before
him a table showing the sweeping changes
iii all the departments of the government
tip to the 11th of June, 1887. That table
showed that out of 2,379 presidential post-
masters there had been 2,000 changes; but
of 52,6U9 fourth-class postmaster-s there
had been 40,600 changes; out of 33 foreign
ministers, 32 changes; out of 21 secretaries
of legation, 16 changes; out of 111 collect-
ors of customs, 100 changes; 32 surveyors
of customs were all changed; not one of
the 6 naval officers remained; of 36 ap—
praisers but 2 remained; of 13 superin—
tendents of mints and assay offices there
were 11 changes; the 9 assistant apprais—
ers were all gene; of the 85 collectors of
internal revenue 84 had gone in Jiliie last;
of the 11 inspectors of steam vessels 8
were gene; of ‘70 district attorneys (at
semi-judicial office) 65 were changed; of
30 territorial judges (judicial offices) 22
were changed; of territorial governors all
were gene; of 18 pension agents but 2 re-
mained; every one of the 16 surveyors
general was gene; of 224 local land officers
190 were gene; of 10 Indian inspectors
and spccral agents but one remained; of
59 Indian agents but 8, and of 83 special
agents of the general land office but 4. At
this time, J true, 1887, the democratic ail—-
ministration had been but a little over two
years in power, and since that date
changes have also been going on.
Secretary Lamar, said Mr. Hale, had
recently taken occasion to commend John
C. Calhoun for his positi it against the
spoils system, and yet the stern facts
which confronted the Senate in the-dew
partnient presided over by Mr. Lamar
were that every territorial governor had
been removed; also 16 out of 18 pension
agents; every surveyor general; four~
fifths of the local land offices; nine-tenths
of the Indian inspectors and agents; 79
out of the 83 special agents of the general
land office. and two-thirds of the special
examiners in the pension office. Yet Mr.
Lamar stood today on record by his lit--
tered words as against the spoils system
and posed as a reformer.
Passing to the question of the partici—
pation of federal officials in political con—
ventions and elections Mr. Hale referred
to the meeting of the New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland committees, at all of
which prominent federal officials had been
active participants. In fact so gross had
become the violation of every principle of
reform and of the pledges of the President
that the Evening Post of New York had
, said of these things that they would be
used in the campaign there with terrible
effect. . The President had not hesitated
himself to deal deadly blows at the cause
of reform. Iii this connection Mr. Hale
referred to the recent municipal election
in New York where the President espoused
the candidacy of Fellows for district after--
ney, a man opposed by all civil service
reformers, and whom Carl Schurz had
characterized as a “typical dead heat."
In that election Mr. Hale said there was
an opportunity for the President to have
done something in the cause of reform,
but those who hoped he would do so had
been bitterly disappointed.
IN THE ironsn.
There is no end of wrangling and
grumbling over Speaker Carlisle’s ar—
rangcment of his committees. Ilis free
trade heresies and bitter partisanship is
everywhere apparent. The ways anti
means committee forms a conspicuous
example. This committee has much to
do in considering questions of manufact—
uring and laboring interests, and in shap—
ing legislation with regard to these im—
portant matters, and yet the States of
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
are left entirely out. Nine times as many
persons in these States are employed in
manufacturing industries as there are in
the States which exercise a controlling
influence in the committee. This sort of
partisan manipulation, in the interest of
the Speaker's free trade proclivities, is not
likely to produce the desired results in
securing‘tlic passage of tariff ~reduetion
laws. The unfairness of the scheme is too
apparent, and its early exposure no doubt
ensures its defeat.
A little incident in the House the other
day developed another cause of division
and anxiety in the “ unchanging Democ—
racy." It will startle the country to know
that the dividing question was liquor leg—
islation. .
The incident untried was the statement
oer. Randall, relative to the committee
on the alcoholic liquor traffic. Mr. Ran—
dall and'tlic two Republican members of
the committee on rules reported in favor
of continuing it, btit Mr. Carlisle and Mr.
Mills wanted it abolished. Thus, the
“Randall wing" of Democracy broke
from the free trade wing, and on what
appears to be a side issue. But this was
not the half of the new tribulation. The
outside discussion exposed a dreadful.
condition in some of the close “ districts."
Few Democrats want to Serve on the com-
mittee, for action either way would de-
plete their home support. Hence the
demand fer abolishing the cornmitlec as a
means of Democratic salvation.
So, even the Democracy, original friend
and bulwark of the liquor saloon, has felt
the approach of the moral force, and
trembles at the very mention of an issue
which heretofore it has disposed of with a
sneer. Rent in twain on the question of
free trade, quarreling about the disposition
of the reserve, flopping apart on the silver
dollar and national banks, and uniting
only iii periodical pursuit. of spoils as reg-
ular as elections oceur, perhaps, after all,
it isle ft for the common beverage of De;
mocracy to furnish an issue upon which it
shall break and go to pieces.
A special message from the‘President, it
is suggested, is necessary to preserve the
Democratic column solid for free trade in
rum. ‘
A bill has been introduced into the
House, which it is thought will finally
pass in some shape, allowing National
Banks to issue notes to the full par value
of their Bonds deposited in the Treasury.
A bill is also before the House, changing
the unnecessary and strained ruling of
Postmaster-General Vilas, as to what may
be put on the wrappers of fourth-class
matter. The new bill permits the writing
and printing of about everything not in
the nature of a personal communication,
and which does not entirely cover tip the
needed spaces for the address. -

Langtry divides interest Irerc with some

Club. Special interest prevails here in
horseback riding, by ladies and gentle—
men, and it is as common to see ladies
galloping by, unattended by gentlemen
escorts, as it is at home to see them drive
in carriages.
Senator Ingalls, that brightest and keen-
cst intellect in the Senate, has met with a
severe loss in the total destruction of his
home in Kansas and the burning of all his
art treasures and 'aluable library. As the
Senator‘s brain is more replete with infor-
mation than the average library, this part
of his misfortune he can hear, much bet-
ter than most men.

A Marvelous Remedy,
A Public Good by a Promi-~
nent Physician.
A M Ub‘H-NEEDED AND WEL-
COME BOON.
A CERTAIN CUBE FOR NERVOUS
Dr.Grecnc, the _well known lecturer and cirr-
inont specialist Ill 1110 fi'cntiiiorit arid cure of
nervous diseases. has probably the largest and
most widespread practico among this class of
affections in the United States. Snell is the
great demand for his remedies. and the pres—
suro upon his time arid'atteiltiori by patients
from all sections of the country who are stif-
tering from various nervous complaints, that
the doctor has been induced to place in the
drill,' stores, at so low a price as to be within
the reach of all, his chief remedy for the-cure
of nervous diseases.
Dr. Greene's success in the cure of nervous
affections is so great, not to say remarkable,
that the people at large may well welcome this
as a public boon, for the remedy is ono‘whieb
has been thoroughly tried by many years’ use
in his practice among nervous diseases, and
by restoring nearly all cases for which it is
prescribed to sound nervous health and
strength, and has demonstrated its truly wou-
dcrful cliiatirepowci:
In thus placing this great nerve tonic upon
sale everywhere. at thc'low price of 31 per bot-
tlo, the doctor is enabled to reach a much lar-
ger number of sufferers from the var ions forms
of nervous affections than he could otherwise
do, and the thousands ol‘.pcoplo who are be.
ing cured by this remedy attest. its
Marvelous Curative Effects,
and its consequent great value as a medicine.
Dr. Greene’s Vervura Nerve Tonic is iridorr-
ed alike by press and public as curing more
cases,of disease than other known medicine,
and it therefore stands at tl.o head of all rec-
ognized remedies of the present day. It is de-
signed only for a certain class of diseases——
those purely 01 tile nerves or nervors system,
and in all such affections its beneficial efl‘ects
are positive anti certain. Among the diseases
for whiclr’it is absolutely sure cure may be
mentioned nervousness, nervous and physical
exhaustion, nervous debility, nervous prostra-
tioii, sleeplessness, despondency, mental de-
pression, paralysis, numbness, trembling.
neuralgia, pain in back and side, epileptic fits,
St. Vitus’ dance, palpitatit-n and nervous heart
disease, nervous and sick headache, nervous
dyspepsia, indigestion, loss of appetite. weak,
tired, and languid feeling, and all nervous
diseases.
Another -,thing of great importance to the
people is that, like all of Dr. Greene’s reme-
dies, the Nervura Nerve Tonic is purely vege-
table. It contains no mineral poison or injur-
ious drugs, and may, therefore, be taken by
children or the most delicate and feeble inva-
lid with perfect confidence and assurance of
cure. Beretofere, most oftbe nerve remedies
have been composed of s‘uchv dangerous drugs
that their after effects left the patient in a much
worse condition than before using. We are
glad to say that no such danger need be appre-
hended from the use of'Dr. Grt cne’a Nervura
Nerve Tonic, which, being
\ Purely Vegetable.
can be productive only of the most beneficial
effects.
In these days, when there is so much that is
worthless foisted upon the public, it is a posi
tive pleasure to speak of a really good thing
like tLis well-tried and remarkable remedy.
and in thus pointing out to sirtlerers from the
many forms of nervous diseases Dr. Greene'-
great remedy, we feel that we'are doing a pos-
itive good to the community, We recognize
the fact that affections of the nervous system
form. fc-day the large majority of all disease,
It is an acknowledged fact. also, that such dis-
sesaaare not cured by physiciansgeneially,and
especially is the failure marl-red in those who
usepoisonous drugs. We llurefore consider
it a duty. knowing ot the great virtues of Dr.
Greene’s Ncrzvnra Nerve Tunic, that it isaper-
fectfy safe vegetable remedy, and that it will
most certainly cure these distressing com-
plainte, to let our readers know its true value,
how they may obtain it, and be cured of their-
ills by its strengthening and Invigorating
effects. lt is a true tonic for the nervous sys-
tem, renewing and building up nerve force.
and thus watering tone, vitality, and strength
to the weakened nerves. Under its mildsbnt
efficacious use, all Symptoms of nervousness;
disappear; the easily excited brain and nerves
become tranquil and steady ;all feeling ofirrit—
ability, languor. or prostration, all sensations
of restlessness, sleeplessness. or exhaustion
are permanently removed. and a condition of
perfect health substituted. Despondeucy and
mental depression, from which so many eufler,
come from weakened nervous vitality,which in
not only relieved, but perfectly and permana
ently cured by the Servers Herr; Tonic. Nor:
was debility ’and exhausted vitality, which
have become so prevalent among the young
and middle-aged, are in all cases cured by the
persovering use of this medicine.
Too much cannot be said in praise of this
Most Excellent Remedy,
and we are glad that Dr. Greene has at last
decided to place it in the lrug stores every-
where, and at so reasonable a price that all
who need its invigorating and health—giving
effects may obtain it readily. The doctor has
been urged to do this for some years, but has
