1t Is gratifying to us to inform the public
that DIR. L. Q. C. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar
Cordial for Throat and Lung Diseases, has
gained an enviablc reputation from the At
lantic to the Pacific ocean, and from thence
In some OF the first families Of Europe, not
through the press alone, but by persons
throughout the States actually benefited
and cured at his office. While he publishes
less, so say our reporters, he is unable to sup
ply the demand. 1t gains and holds its rep
utation:
First. Not by stopping cough, but by
loosening and assisting nature to throw on
the unhealthy matter collected about the
throat and bronchial tubes, which causes
Irritation.
Second. 1t removes the cause of irritation
(which produces cough) of the mucous men,
brane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs
TO act and throw OF the unhealthy secre-
tions, and purifies the blood.
Third. 1t is free from squills, lobelia, ipe-
Gao and opium, Of which most throat and
lung remedies are composed, which allay
cough only and disorganize the stomach. 1t
has a soothing effect on the stomach, acts ON
the liver and kidneys, and lymphatic and
nervous regions, thus reaching to every
part of the system, and in its tnvigorating
and purifying effects, it has gained repu-
tation which it must hold above all Others
in the market.

Ihe Abolition of the Frankiax Priyf.
lege I'm the Department.

Alter July LIST next the new official postage
stamps for the different departments of the
government, authorized by the last Congress,
and which are described in our news columns,
will take the place of the franks at present in
Use by Cabinet and bureau officers. 1t is pretty
generally conceded that the abolition of the
Thanking privilege, so far as members of Con-
Sress are concerned, was a measure of economy
demanded by the best interests of the country.
That the privilege was grossly abused by the
members of both parties, especially during a
political campaign, there can be no doubt Tons
and tons OF campaign matter were ranked by
clerks who had no legal authority to forge the
names OF members OF Congress; in fact, but a
very small portion of the documents sent ont
broadcast through the mails was personally
1Tanked by members of Congress. Under the
circumstances then, it is not surprising that the
People demanded the abolition Of the privilege
mus abused But IL remains 10 be seen whether
The withdrawal Of the right OF Cabinet and
bureau Ofhcers OF the government to frank
ohclal matter was good policy or not Az
ter July LIST next the departments will buy
from the Post Office Department the necessary
number OF official stamps every quarter, and
the money received will 90 TO swell the reve-
nues of the latter department, but the transfer
will not affect the revenues Of the government
The Post Office Department, which supplies
these stamps, will buy them OF ITSELF by simply
transferring the amount necessary to paw for
Them from the appropriations for the support of
The department. to the stamp fund. The whole
process reminds one of the operation of a person
changing his money from one pocket to the
other. The cost of manufacturing these stamps
which will not be incOnsiderable, will of course
De dead loss to the government
In several ways, however, the government
viii gain something by the abolition of the
privilege in the departments. Ithas heretofore
been customary to send out under franks a
large number of Offici publications. but here
after a rule will probably be adopted in all the
departments requiring those who desire such
documents TO remit the amount of postage ne
cfsSary for their transmission through the mails.
In this way considerable saving will be effect
al. a there will also be in case of all letters
addressed 10 the heads of departments and bu-
1eau officers, which now 90 free, but on which
fhe writer's will be obliged TO paw postage after
July l. This rule will bear hard, perhaps, on
many poor people who have business relations
with the departments, such as pensioners.
Changes IN the pension laws from time to time
make II necessary that pension papers should
