CHICAGO, Jan. T..
A Washington special says the war
fare on Cushing's nomination is very
active. The Cabinet We're unanimous
in the nomination of Cushing, but the
President is not much interested and
will use no special means to secure its
confirmation.
The House Military Committee met
on Saturday and heard the arguments
in regard to turning the Indian Bureau
over to the War Department. 1t is
probable there is to be a report of a
plan, at least, so far as to give the mill
tary exclusive juris diction over all In
dams the moment they move to their
reservations. The Committee on Rules
have considered the proposed rule that
all private bills for appropriations of
money or property shall first be con-
Sidered in the Committee of the Whole;
and the committee vent ever further
and agreed a report for a rule requir-
ing all bills, of whatever nature con-
templating the taking of money or
property from the Government. shall
go tothe Committee CT the Whole and
be open for full discussion. This will
prevent the smuggling of the bills
through without attracting the atten-
ton OF the House,

New YORK, Jan. 10.
4 Pottsville special says the miners
have rejected the proposition of the
operators to reduce wages on a sliding
scale, going as low as S2.25. Nine
thousand miners in that region are idle
and all great coal operations ofthat re-
gion are stopped. The miners will not.
Under any circumstances, submit to the
proposition ofthe operators, and unless
the latter recede there will be a pro-
1onged struggle. The miners of Co.
lumbia and Northumberland counties
are effected directly by the ACTON of
Schuylkill, and all the region indirect
ly. They will be heard from on Mon
day, and then the whole region will
have suspended in a few DAYS.

A WRONG CUSTOM CORRECTED.

II Il quite generally tho custom to
take strong liver stlmulants for the
cure OF liver complaint. aud both the
mineral aud vegetable Kingdoms have
been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic aud poisonous purgatives.
In order to produce q powerful effect
upon the liver, aud arouse the tagging
and enieebled organ. This kystem of
treatment Is on the same principle as
that Of giving q debilitated mar
large portions OF brandy to enable him
to do a certain amount Of work. When
the stimulant Is withheld, the organ.
like the system, gradually relapses
into a moru torpid or sluggish and
weakened condition than before. What
then Is wanted? Medicines, that,
while they canse the bile to now freely
from the liver, as that organ Is toned
into action, will not overwork and
thus debllitatcit, but will when their
use Is discontinued, leave the liver
strengthened aud healthy.

the pay Of the malcontent memorialists; but
the editor of the World should have known
that 1t is false from beginning to end. The
fact that at all the elections held under the
territorial form of government, when other
questions were brought directly before the
people, and when the comprehensive
plan" had been fairly started, and conse-
quently was an issue at stake, the people
voted to sustain the board time and
time again, should have taught the
World that its Washington contributor
was untruthfuL The probability is, how
ever, that these facts were known to the
editor, and that the knowledge of them did
not deter him from giving publicity to
vile SANDER and q most infamous lie. The
people Of the District have more than their
share Of trouble just now, with burdensome
taxes and with a disturbed and virtually
disorganized condition Of government, and
should be treated with some show of kind
ness. They deserve, at least to have the
truth told about them.
