We cannot recall a more conspicuous
exhibition Of spite against a public man
than that displayed in yesterdays New
York Tribune against Secretary Schurz
A week ago, in response TO sn inquiry
from a clerk, Secretary Schurz wrote a
letter defining his position with regard
to assessments, pointing out the law,
and showing under what circumstances
assessments or contributions could or
could not be made for political purposes.
This letter was adopted by the President
on Saturday last as the rule for the
guidance Of the different executive
branches Of the government, and the
Associated Press made the announce.
ment that the President had adopted
Secretary Sohurz's views. The Tribune,
which. ever since his entrance into the
cabinet, has shown a childish spite
against Mr., Sehurz, extending to gross
misrepresentation, went so far as to alter
the general press dispatch by striking
out Secretary Schurzs name and insert
ing the words "a secretary. Such
smallness is uubeooming the journal
founded by Horace Greeley.

IT was not a very conspicuous mani
~festation Of understanding Of the fitness
Of things when congress chose the pres.
emit jsnciure Of affairs in Europe, and
especially along the Mediterraneau, for
withdrawing the American legation from
Greece. During the disquiet, and, in.
deed, rather turbulent state of affairs in
all parts Of that little kingdom nov pre-
vailing, there is, more than at any Time
for mary years, a necessity for a diplo.
matte agent there, to look after Ameri-
can interests. Some Of these are com.
mercial and others private and personal.
but all Of them are iust such as require
close attention at this particular time.
And beyond these are the national and
International considerations that Greece
IS in a crisis Of her history, her affiliated
populations, oppressed by Turkish rule,
hoping and struggling for relief by union
with her, aud in strong need Of the pres.
enee OF the Representatives Of all sym.
pathlzlng nations. Yet THE is the time
chosen for withdrawing the American
charge, by refusing to appropriate the
money for his salary

pepsia or disordered liver. The result OF
these diseases upon the masses of intelligent
and valuable people is most alarming, max

for this, if you will only throw aside proju-
dice and skepticism. take the advice of Drug

is certain. Millions of bottles of this med
