The Civil Service Order
Attorney General Deyens explains
the civil service order. A special
from Washington to the Chicago zrt-
6une of the 26th inst, touching De-
vens' explanation and information,
says:
.'Among others was one recently
sent by Judge Devens to gentleman
in Boston. This letter was brought
out by the statement that the Office
holders Of Massachusetts were taking
no part in the campaign, and stated
that they should refuse to vote. The
Attorney General expressed the hope
that if any officeholders in Massa-
chusetts refrained from voting they
would not do 30 great an injustice to
the President as to attribute their ap-
athy or failure to the Civil Service
order. This official of the White
said
THE DISTINCTION
between the manipulation Of the poll
itics of = city by off1ceholders, to tho
exclusion Of other business, to the
ordinary political activity of q citi-
zon, is so obvious that the President
thinks there can be no mistake about
it. Tho purpose of the order was to
keep the Federal ofIiceholders from
controlling politics, especially in large
cities. When that is accomplished
the function of the order is ended.
At the White House it is understood
that offfccholders not only can vote,
but that they can make speeches,
write editorials, and engage as ac-
lively in politics as anybody, and
that there would be no objection even
to speaking in convention.
In answer to direct inquiry
whether an ofiiceholder would be APP
proved at the White House who be-
came q member of q political conven-
ton, it was stated that it was not
considered matter of good taste for
an officeholder to be member OF
political convention, and that the mat
ter was
LEFT TO HIS DISCRETION.
Several Congressman have talked
with tho President about the order,
and he has given them similar infor-
nation. This intelligence has been
telegraphcd to all prominent office
holders who have been o power in
their localities, and they have been
urged to vigorous work. The move
ment is thoroughly organized here to
secure full vote in November in the
States of New York, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts.
Now all the above takes the whole
sum and substance out of the Presi-
dents civil service order. No sane,
honest man could have made any
such Interpretation of that order. If
such is the intent OF tho order and
there is boy in the land Of ten years
old who could not have better ex-
pressed himself than the President
did, then he ought to have been born
Hottentot. It is true that in some
Of the large cities there have been
appointive officers who have meddled
with and controlled politics to dis
graceful extent. These cases ought
to have been attended to and the evil
corrected. But it had no business
to have been made general, and
decent respect for the feelings Of
Thousands of men holding federal Of
fees throughout the country, who
are as honest and respectable as the
President and his Cabinet, should
have taught the President common
sense.

Map Of the European War.

Through the courtesy of the New York
Herald we are enabled to give our read
ers a map of the field Of operations in
the war between Russian and Turk.
The sanguinary struggle will be watched
with eager interest here as well as in
Europe; and by the aid of our map a
knowledge of the location of each sue
cessive move of the belligerent armies
may be obtained. All the chief places
are given, as well as the positions of the
Turkish and Roumanian forces and the
railroads. The Russian troops were col
lected in large numbers at the town of
Kischeneif, on a railroad between Odes=
sa and Jaschi. The first line of Tur-
keys defenses runs up and down the
Danube, the troops being stationed at
Rustchuk, Silestria, Widdin and other
towns along the river. The second and
stronger line of Turkish Notifications is
in the Balkan mountains, which SEEM
ingly form an impossible barrier to the
further invasion of Turkey. The coun-
try is billy and painless, and ill-ftted
for the unwieldly movements of large
and heavily encountered army of inva-
ders. The Turks have control also of
the Danube, where they have feet of
gunboats and monitors ready to work in
unison with their, land forces.

hnoyyIedze isPower.

This is a nation Of enlightened freemen.
Education is the cornerstone and foundation
Of our government. The people are free to
think and act for themselves, and that they
may act wisely it is necessary that they be well
informed. Every individual gain increases
public gain. Upon the health Of the people is
based the prosperity Of a nation, by it every
value is increased, every joy enhanced. Health
is essential to the accomplishment Of every
purpose while sickness thwarts the best inten-
tons and loftiest aims. Unto us are committed
important health trusts, which we hold not
merely in our own behalf but for the benefit of
others. In order that we may be able to dis
charge the obligations of our trusteeship and
thus prove worthy of our generous commission,
it is necessary that we study the art Of preserv-
ing health and prolonging life. 1t is of para
mount Importance to every person not only to
understand the means for the preservation of
health, but also to know what remedies should
be employed for the alienation of the common
ailments of life. Not that we would advise
every man under all circumstances to attempt
to be his own physician, but we entreat him to
acquire sufficient knowledge of his system and
the laws that govern it, that he may be prepared
to take care of himself properly, and thereby
prevent sickness and prolong life. In no text
book will the people find the subjects of physi-
ology and hygiene, or the science of life and
the art of preserving health, more scientifically
discussed or more plainly taught than in "The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser" by
r. V. Pierce, NJ. D., of Buffalo, N. Y. 1t is a
volume of over nine hundred large pages, illus
trated by over two hundred and eighty-two
engravings and colored plates, is elegantly
bound in cloth and gilt, and is sent, postpaid,
to any address by the author at the low price of
one dollar and fifty cents copy. Nearly one
hundred thousand copies have already been
sold and the present edition, which is revised
and enlarged and more especially adapted to
the wants of the family, is selling very rapidly.
1t treats of all the common diseases and their
remedies, as well as of anatomy, physiology,
hygiene, human Compartments, and many
other topics of great interest to all people, and
is truly what its author styles it, medicine
simplifed"

Two IrrecouciIabIe Conditions.

Debility and health are irreconclIabIe condl-
tons. Weakly people, that is to say, people
who lack the vitality requisite for vigorous
discharge of each and all of the bodily func-
tons, are invariably afflicted with some, though
it may be trifing, disorder of the system
Atony, or want of nervous and muscular
vigor, is accompanied by poverty of the blood
and eanness A certain way to overcome il
and prevent the aggravated maladies to which
it must ultimately lead, is to use Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which promote digestion AND
assimilation of the food, and thus are the
means of furnishing the body with supply Of
blood of quality essential to its proper nour
ishment. Inauguration through the instrumen
tality of the matchless tonic protects the feeble
from a host of bodily ills which lurk in ambush
for the debilitated. The Bitters are an article
which it is most desirable to keep constantly OF
hand.

Yialdad TO Fnrna.

Within the past week Senator Nor
ton has published an article on the po-
litlcal situation. In regard to the State
governments of Louisisna and South
Carolina be says:
They yielded to force. They have
gone down before an armed minority
whose threats of future violence we're
guaranteed by a long traia of bloody
deeds in the past. regret that the
real character of the transaction should
be obscured in the least by pretended
Investigations or negotiations. Stripped
of all disguises and pretenees, the sim
pie fact is that Packard and Chamber.
lain were not able to maintain them
selves IN authority, and the government
of the United States, in the exercise of
its discretion, refused them its support.
Then the legislatures, finding them
selves defenceless, fell to pieces, and
from their ruins in part new lsgisla-
lures have been constituted, whose
legality consists only in the fact that
there are none to oppose them"
