Ina special from Washington, the
New Y York Times sayslthat there will no
doubt sood be a'revefAionin i'm the Custcm
House OF this city. The Commission will
make the final report next week. Most
glaring frauds have been perpetrated In
the Appraisers Department, of which
Major Moore, OF ,Wes Chester. is the
chief. 1t was sworn to that excessive
sampling was carried on here, to an ex-
tent hardly TO be believed. Gallons Of
molasses and ten audltwenty pounds of
sugar would be taken from a single hogs
head or barrel, and sent up TO the lAp-
praiser's office. Here the articles would
be kept until enough was secured to
make up a hogshead or barrel of partic-
ular kind, and then it would be- sJld by
the Government officers or else sent to
friends. The enormity of this stealing
Is apparent when 1t is known that up to
last December 40 hogsheads of molas-
ses and sugar had thus been purloined
and disposed Of With cargoes of wines
and liquors it was still worse. The off
GERS would take one bottle from each case
of wine or brandy. A regular barroom
was opened on the first floor Of the APP
praiser's building on Second street,
where the friends of officials held high
carnival and drank free liquor. Quite a
quantity of these stolen wines and liqu-
ors Was traced to the residences of heads
of bureaus who reside outside of Phila-
delphia. The office of Collector, before
Mr.. Tuition assumed the place, had been
a siDecure, his various predecessors spend
ing few hours day there, ana allow
ing the clerks to run 1t. As result of
this system, it was shown that numbers
of them were engaged in business out
side, and used the Custom House as
their place for receiving callers. The Sur
veyor's Department will most undoubt-
edly receive thorough overhauling. E.
Q. Goodrich is Surveyor; Hiram Good.
rich "a brother), Deputy Surveyor, and
there is still ansJher brother connected
with Assistant Treasurer oysters depart
ment. Under the Civil Service rules,
but one of these can remain in office.
Charges were made that cases of wine
were sent to the residences of the Good
riches, as well as other articles, on which
the duty had not been paid. From what
can be learned, it is not probable that
there will be great reduction in the
working force, except in the abolition of
the Naval Office, which is a sinecure.
When Collector Tuition went into Office
he reduced the expenses some $4,000 a
year, which had been thrown away. There
is a strong probability that the Office Of
the Collector of the Port of Camden will
be abolished. William Robson, bro
ther to the late Secretary of the Navy, ,oc-
cuDieS that position In his place there
will be put an Inspector, who will be
competent to transact all the duties re-
quired.-Phila. Chronicle.

with the result, continued its use until three
or four bottles had been used, and she is
now in better health than at any time for
ten years, and has increased In weight from

sicians, and used a great variety of patent
medicines, to the extent of hundreds OF dol
lars, and Know she received more benefit
from the p PERUVIAN SYRUP than all the
rest together.
My sales of the Syrup are very large
and constantly increasing, and do not hes
itate to recommend and even warrant it to
give satisfaction. Ifvou desire you are at
liberty to use this communication as YOU
see fit, as it gives me pleasure to recon-

JOHNSHERMANS: :NEW COMMUNIS-
TIC SCHEME. -"


What John Sherman said, last Fri
day night, in his electioneering speech
of the Ohio campaign about finances
or the civil service or the Southern
question, was of no practical consequ-
ence whatever.
But he made startling proposition
on another subject before he got to
the end of his speech. He proposed a
scheme that involves a new departure
for the Republican party new fea-
lure in the policy OF the Government
new branch of legislation for Con-
gress aud revolution in the political
system of the country. He proposed
that the Government should seize the
opportunity off ,red by strikes to take
Il long step in the way of undertaking
The supervision and direction of all
the business and industry ofthe coun-
try. lie weat very much further in
the direction of Communism than the
Cleveland platform aud very much
further than Mr.. West, the Republican
candidate for Governor of Olio. In
fact the principle upon which his pro-
position rests Is the foundation stone
Of The most radical school of Commu-
nistic theorists to be found anywhere.
BY developing applying and enforcing
it he will leave nothing whatever to
be done or to be desired by Justus
Schwab himself. He gave prominence
and importauae TOMS proposition by
going from his place in the Treasury
Department to his own State of OHIO
In which a political campaign is in
progress to. make it. He evidently
meant that it should there receive the
endorsement of his party so that it can
be brought up hereafter in Congress

Dear Sir-From early Youth | was in
feeble health, troubled with bumor In my
blood, weakness and debility of the system
generally; was unab to labor much, and
only at some light business, and then only
with great caution.
Seven years ago the past Spring T had a
severe attack OF Diphiheria, which left my
limbs paraIyzed and useless, so was uri
able to walk or even sit up. Noticing the
advertisements of PERUVIAN SYRUP L
concluded TO give it u trial, and to my great
joy soon found my health improving. |
continued the use of the SYRUP until three
bottles hal been used, and was restored TO
complete health, and have remained SO to
this day.

The use of PERUVIAN SYRUP, and hold
it In high estimation. l cannot speak too
highly in its praise. l have in several
