NEW foBK, June Is. A Washington despatch
gives an account Of Collector Simmous' iuterviev

~ wished to know whether the fact that an Official
VINO mao oeen known as loyal to the past admins

assured by the President that as TO the past. the
present administration would undertake to hold no
man responsible for system of appointments
which bad been practced by both parties and cor.
rected by neither.
The President determined, however that for the
future his pledge of civil service reform should be
executed to the letter; that persons in federal

or participation in the active management of poIi-
tcs or It's machinery; that while, like other good

. SURVIVAL OF The FITTEsT.,

The ingenious doctrine propounded by Mr.. OAR
win, the tireess investigator of nature and her
laws, is as applicable in determining the fate OF
medicines as in that of the animal species. Every
year new remedies are brought before the public,
and are soon completely discarded as their sale
rapidly decreases. Only those medicines which
first test. If they "are tried, and found wanting"
in the merits which they are claimed to possess, no
amount of advertising will make them popular.
OF all the remedies ever introduced to the public,
none are so popular as DIR. Pierces Family Medi-
cines. Their sale has steadily increased each
year, and the wholesale druggists assert that the
present demand for them is greater than ever be-
fore. fyou would patronize medicines scientif-
cally prepared, use DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
