Stop Drinking vinegar,

How many young women who have inherit

their health by drinking vinegar to reduce
their forms to graceful proportions. Allan's
Anti-Fat is absolutely harmless. 1t promotes
digestion, and accomplishes its work simply
by preventing an undue assimilation of the
fatty ingredients Of the food. Excessive fat

We had not the opportunity of listening
TO Senator HowEs speech arraigning the
administration Of President HAYES, and
our perusal of it has been only cursory,
hence our criticism Of the effort may exceed
or fall short of its true merits While we
are in full sympathy with the positions as
sumed by the Senator in discussing the
measures and policies Of the Administration;
while we entertain u high respect for him
as an able man and statesman, we must
frankly confess that we find much in this
speech to commend and some things to regret.
His theme was one Of the most important
and interesting to this era of our national
history, and afforded broad field for dis
cusson and criticism. The subject was
worthy OF all the attention distinguish ed
statesman could bestow upon it with the
widest range Of argument and closest dis
section. 1t combines within ii the
great question Of the hoW-is the Nd.
ministration, in its leading measures and
policies in the line of consst1ncy with the
principles, platforms, objects, and aims OF
that great national party which fought the
fight and won the victory that was crowned
by the election of RUTHERFORD b. HAYES
as President OF the United States? So
far as this moment0us question was in
volved the remarks of Senator HOWE were
well considered, well deserved and well
timed. They were forcible, digniled, and
statesmanlike, and we would have much
preferred that he had occupied the elevated
plane of u combat with principle and policy
rather than to have descended to the arena
OF personality. This feature Of the speech
is not fully in accord with our sense of pro-
priety. We admire the force and power of
argument and sarcasm hurled against the
policies, measures, and positions occupied
by the Administration, for all that is due to
the occasion The blows dealt were we'll
aimed, trenchant. and telling as well as
eminently merted by the circumstances Of
the case and we most heartily wish that
the Senator had confined his eminent abili-
ties and powers to the combat on that plane
of controversy.
What little objection we find to the
speech relates to his occasionally descending
to the gauge of personal controversy, and
as we say in common parlance, going a
guuhiugn for the President and his Cabinet
personally. 1t is scarcely, in our Judgment
consistent with the dignity of the Senate

that navy officers would receive the pay

ridiculous. Do We not pay the civilians en-

cipline which would be infused into the
service by placing each liie-siving station
in charge of navy officer. A thousand
sensible arguments could here be advanced
in favor of this transfer, and we hope there
are enough reasoning and unse!fsh lcgis-
lators in Congress TO SEQ at once the neces-

DO Justice othe Lnborer.

The Government is parent toward it's
people or it does not deserve the name of
government What would we think Of
parent having ample means aud credit who
would keep the children with it in days of
prosperity, but when hard times come
would turn them off, without any thing, and
oblige them to beg for food and clothing or
starve. Is not our Government In that
exact dishonorable position? II has reve-
nue. and great credit, can borrow money at
four per cent, and while it monthly pays
bonds not due, whose owners prefer the
bonds to the money, ard yet refuse the
daily heart-rendipg appeals from Its poor
feed and clotha their starving wives and
children. They are not beggars from choice,
but this cruel treatment drives them to the
alternative-beg or starve. What
shame! Has the Government no work for
them TO do? Yes, plenty of public buildings
to build; great national navigation-ways to
open and improve; lighthouses to build,
to guide the mariner at night; life-saving
stations to man properly, to save life and
property, and thousands Of other things
which the country needs. Surely, gentle
men, God will call you to account for re-
fusing to use the many talents he has given
you, and thus brought this suffering and
woe upon an honest people. What have you

English Walnut MADEIRA Nut,

All will readily admit that the more we can
induce and encourage the increse Of new aud
profitable industries and productions in our
country the better, and which will be advan-
tagcous to the whole country. It is desirable
TO produce at home all we can of articles
which we consume, thereby increase the chan
nels of profitable labor and save money here
which otherwise is sent abroad for such pro-
duets.
Several million dollars arc sent abroad an
nually for the purchase of English walnuts, or
Madeira nuts, as they are commonly called.
Now these can be raised here plentifully, and
Of more delicious quality than most of those
we bay, after they have suffered long voyages
and become ovcrary. They can be grown
nearly as easily us black wanuts and hickory
nuts. There is one tree growing in n lot at
the corner OF Tenth and d Streets on the old
"FORCE' lot which sometimes produces ten to
thirteen bushels of good nuts in season.
There is another tree in Georgetown that pro-
duccs even more than that And we know farm
in Charles County, Nd, which has on II seve-
raj Of these fine nut-trees that annually pro-
ducc several bushels each besides they make

Mr. Hayes-The Party Outlook
Let IL Reason Together.

The fundamental error of Mr. HAYES is his
failure to comprehend that In order to give
practical effect to any policy, a President must
avail himself Of the physical forces Of party
organization.
This is from a Democratic paper, and it
supports the Democratic party organization
as fundamental means of accomplishing
the objects that party has in view. This is
right and expedient and in so far there is
nothing inconsistent or equivOcal. For it is
only the open, frank expression of a sound
political philosophy, as well as the inevita-
BILE logic which must embody the success
full issue of any policy which depends upon
the legislative branch for complete effect
and practical conclusion. And therefore,
the same paper adds with striking force:
The potentate who should go to war on the
strength Of strategic plans without an army
to execute them would be immediately sat
upon by commission de lund'ico inquircndO
and yet such person would not be one whit
more absurd than Mr.. HAYES has been in his
so-called efforts at reform.
All well and good. And this is just
what's the matter now. Mr. HAYES is
simply law unto himself, and there is no
" connecting link" between himself and the
Republican party, at whose head, under
ordinary circumstances, he would be pre-
sumed to stand He fails to recognize his
party, and his party fails to recognize him :;
and, whether intended or not, his isolated
position, thereby precipitated, presumes an
imperious, close corporation policy in the
administration of political affairs, which is
anytlinu lint nnherant and sntiafn,tnry To
the great mass of the acknowledged repre-
septatives of Republican opinion, with
whom IL would be supposed he would nat
urally fraternize and agree. And therefore
IL is we see so much inside and outside
work about the White House, garnished
neither of which is in harmony with the
other. Certainly it is not surprising. under
these circumstances, that the President
course should fail to inspire party conf
dence or command the respect of candid
men. The Republicans see it and the
away from the disagreeable conclusions
which follow therefrom.
| For long time the Republican press, not
disposed to be factious or wanting in re-
spectful consideration, RETAINED from harsh
criticism and outspoken dissent 1t was
disposed, in short, to be liberal and fair
with the President and if need be, yield
him generous support. Indeed it was not
indisposed to let him have his own way in

PRESIDENT HAYES AND MR.. FOSTER
The Administration Criticised by Its Eest
Beet Friend.

Tho Administration Criticised by Its Next
Best Friend.
The correspondent from Washington Of the
Boston Globe, has unearthcd letter from the
Hon. Charles Foster, to friend, supposedly,
Repository, in which President Hayes policy
Is commended in general terms; but which
also includes some impairment, so to speak,
comments that arc worthy Of attention, as
coming from tho Presidents immediate rep
rcsentative in the House. Tho correspondent
says:
II has been in q facetious way remarked
here, ever since President Hayes entered the
White House, that this Is q quartette Presi-
dency, composed Of Hayes, Sherman, Mat
thews, and Foster Tie results Of the past
years experience show that these are the
minds that direct executive action. Recently
Foster, who il representative In Congress
from Hayes district, Ohio,gi quiet evidence
he Is not quite satisfied with the way things
go on at the White House.
The correspondent then gives extracts from
Mr. Fosters letter, from which we make the
following selections:
A very singular condition Of affairs exists
here just now. Very few members Of Congress
are on any sort of pleasant terms with the
President. He carIic out toa very considerable
degree the opinions Of his party expressed In
the Cincinnati platform rs TO patronage. He
| listens to members some, but after all think
he delights in going contrary to their wishes.
doubt whether this is wise in any case but
in fact think his methods are not as polite
as they might be- He could accomplish just
what he is accomplishing without giving quite
so much oifense.
| But really the cause lies In the fact that
each member has at least three or four hun
dred applicants for Office in his district. In
this contingency about the best thing to be
done, he thinks is to damn the President, and
tell every one of them that he has no infiu'
ence (which is probably true). Tho result is
that each one of these applicants, oil over
the country, positively believes that but for
the President he would have an office; and
hence tho almost universal clamor.
We have some very strong exhibitions OF dis
like to Cabinet officers. For instance, my old
friend Blaine becomes the apologist and defend
er of timber thieves mainly because Of his dis
like to Secretary Schurz, who is doing nothing
more than his sworn duty in trying to pre-
serve to the Government the value Of the tim
her that Is being stolen and preventing depre
dations in the future.
