ASTONISHING SUCCEss.-It is the duty
of every person who has used BOsHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP to let its wonderful quail
ties be known to their friends in curing Con
sumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without i'm
mediate relief Three doses VIII relieve any
case and we consider il the duty OF all
Druggists to recommend it to the poor lying
consunIptive. at least to try one bottle,
40, ,Oe0 dozen bottles were sold last year, and
no one case where il failed was reported.
Such q medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP
cannot be too widely known. Ask your
Druggist about IL. Sample Bottles to try

Governor Tilden as Statesman.

In another column will be found the re-
port of an interview with Governor Tilden
on the result of the elections. His views
are those of statesman. The New York
Tribune which formerly ridiculed that
able gentleman as long as it would suit
its partizan purposes, now tells the truth
about him in these words :-''No living
statesman has studied more thoroughly
the history of parties in the United States,
or has gone deeper into the philosophy of
political action. The visitor who is for
tunate enough to find him in a humor to
talk on this theme, enjoys a rare treat.
The Ex-Governor, when he gets well into
his subject, has a way of pacing back
and forth in the room with one hand be-
hind his back. and the otlel ready to
emphasize an idea. His sentences are as
clean cut and forcible as anything in
Macaulay, his memory Of men and events
in the past is wonderfully accurate, and
he has the whole political history of the
country at his fingers ends to draw upon
for illustrations and examples" There
are few men in public life at this time
who deserve the title of craftsmanship.
But Gov. Tilden is eminently entitled to
that designation. His view of the theory
OF our government, and the future of
parties, have the value which belong to
the utterances Of deep thinker and
noble leader.

Washington Matters

NASHINGTON, Nov. II. Chairman At
| kins says the Army Appropriation hiL'
passed by the House to-day is more salts
factory than any Army bill passed iur
years, that it limits the army to 100000
men, allowing ten full regiments of cav
airy, and stipulates that four Of them
shall serve in FeXaS. He is indignant lt
the efforts OF the Republicans and Repub-
Iican papers to make it appear that the
Committee has misreprcsented the Secrp
tary of War, the General and Adjutant-
General of the army He asserts that the
Committee has not misrcpresented their
statements in the least, and asserts thai
they have been enlisting soldiers without
warrant Of law Mr.. Hewitt is preparing
a statement Tonight, which will be sub
mltted to the House to prove the truth ot
this assertion and rctute the charges OF
misrepresentation OF the above named Of
ticials. Mr.. Atkins SAYS he shall call NJ
the Naval Appropriation Till tomorrow
He thinks it can be passed in one day
When disposed of he will report one more
deficiency bill, covering the deficiencies
in the Post Office Department and COurt
OF Claims, and then he SAYS his Commit
tee will be ready to adjourn. There is no
probability, however, OF immediate ad-
iournmemt. The Naval bin will provoke
more discussion than the Army bill, which
has occupied the House four DAYS The
sott-money men will not tolerate an ad
iournment until vote is had on Mr.
Ewings bill, and five days discussion
having been agreed 10 ON that, Nouato

Government, as Secretary Sherman, in h
letter to French Of June 10Th, pledged
that the principal and interest of the
bonds would be paid in gold or coin
equivalent in value. The passage Of the
bill and the signature 10y the President
would force Secretary Sherman from the
Cabinet But the syndicate people seem
confident that the Senate will modify the
bill and the President Will veto it if not
modified.

Interview of the President with the Poncas

The Ponca Indians were received at
the executive mansion last SATURDAY. af-
ternoon, to hear the response of the Pres
ldent to their statements. The ceremo-
mes were in the cabinet council chamber
The President said
Il have carefully considered what YOU have said
to me. ! ou have always listened to what the
government OF the white people has said to vou
and you have done what YOU were told to do
will do all can to help you. You were removed
from your reservation to guard you from collision
with other Indians who were untriendly to YOU
think ii would not be good for your own welfare
that you should travel back great distance to
the same place. You complain that on the land
you now occupy yeu were exposed to much an
noyance from bad men. Mindful Of your conduct
l desire to consult your wishes There is much
good land in the Indian territory further away
from the white settlements where you will not
De exposed to such annovanceS For the land
which you left on the Missouri River you shall
nave a tract as large and as fertile | Shall see
that on the lands you are to occupy houses shall
be Du'lt tor you as good You had on the Mis-
slsslppi. and you shall yourselves be employed in
building them and be paid for the work YOU do
You shall be supplied with agricultural imple-
ments and also with cattle, that YOU shall lose
nothing. hen the white people first came to the
country through which you have travelled on your
way here, they were poor and suffered much hard
AHlPj tucl went 10 Work Win courage ana IN
dustry, and they became rich and happy as YOU
now see them. You must follow their example
and you will soon better your condition If you
do that shall remember that the Poncas are good
Indians, and shall do all i'll my power to lend you
a helping hand"
White Eagle, Frank LIE Flesche, Smoke
maker and Standing Buffalo, after the
Poncas had listened to the President,
briefly spoke, reiterating their desire to
follow the advices of the Great Father,
as they had hitherto done, and deploring
their condition as they now existed.
The Indians all expressed desire to
confer further with the President next
week, saying they had additional com
plants to make.
Standing Buffalo said he was only afraid
