ARRIVING AT AN UNDERSTANDING 10 o'clock this morning tramp went into C street saloon and devoted ten minutes in very zealeus manner to the lunch table, By the time he had nlasticated about pound of corn ed beef the bar keeper stepped up and remark ed:
 ''This table is for drinkers"
 "Then why don't you bring on your drinks I've been here ten minutes, and haven't seen a drop of anything If it's drinkin' table, where's the fiuid?"
 q mean it's for the patrons of the bar" said the bar keeper. .N
 ''Then why ain't they here? I suppose you mean that man must spend money at the bar before he eats ?'
 Exactly"
 ''That takes me in. l took drink here last summer and didn't eat single mouthful, and if 1 ain't entitled to lunch on that drink then this system must be a failure all round. y
 But the place has changed hands since then, |" said the bar keeper, picking up a bung starter
 'Ah, indeed?" replied the urbane hummer ''that fact, as your gesture would imply, raises a new and embarrassing complication in our diplomatic relations. 1 will therefore recede, as it were, from my original position and await the assembling of the peace congress"
 He had been gradually backing towards the door as he spoke, and he lodged out just in time to evade the projectile hurled at him by the indignant saloonatic. c.- Virginin (Neoado) CHf0nicEe

nore clioues in committees No more spet

more cliques in committees No more speci-
 al legislation without debate! Publicity, re-
 sponsibility, and purity! Cabinet officers in
 in Congress. Can anything be prettler to ring
 the changes on? The party that first sets up
 that banner in good faith will have the best
 chance for long lease fo power. It is asked
 how are such great changes to follow from
 sucha a simple expedient? l reply that at first
 the change would be scarcely perceptible. At
 various times, oflate, Mir. Sherman has appear
 ed before different )mmittees The defect ID
 this is that he appears merely as a general ex-
 pert. He submits his views to them, but they
 do not submit theirs to him, and they make theirs plans with as much or as little reference
 to him as they please. It would be more dig
 nifed for the Secretary to refuse such inter- views altogether If, on the other hand, he was in the House the positions would be re-
 versed. Of course, the cry from Congress and the politicians would be the danger of Execu-, tive power. In point of fact, it would obviate this danger instead of creating it. Now, corrupt Administration with a corrupt ma jor- ity of Congress might endanger our liberties
 without the country knowing anything about it, as writpess the machinations of Davis,
 Floyd 6 Co. before the rebellion. Then no intrigue could be carried on either side without it's being instantly made public. It is asked how could the Cabinet maintain themselves in the face of hostile majority? They have to do that new, and the situation would certainly be no worse Whether they should so main- tain themselves, or should resign, singly or in mass, is matter to be determined by time and experiment It is urged that resignation implies the power of dissolution, which cannot exist under our Constitution. This might be obviated by arranging test questions for per iod just proceeding the elections for new Congress. And, after all, if the experiment proved unsuccessful it might be terminated at any time, and the present state of things re- stored. The important thing is that the ex- pertinent should be tried. The irrepressible conflict of the future, quite as momentous as that of slavery is to be between the Executive | and Legislative powers The imminent neces- sity is unity of administration under strong | and responsible Executive, and it it as certain 1 as any political problem can be that if we do 1 not establish such, sooner or later the condl- l ton of anarchy will bring us through strife and bloodshed to one that is strong but irres- 1 ponsible.

 This Sarsaparillais is combination of vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most eficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure.
 Its ingredients are so skilfully com bined, that the full alternative effect of each is assured, and while it is SO mild
 
 still so effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians all over the coun- try repose in it, prove their experience of its usefulness.
 Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sar- saparilla over every other alternative medicine. So generally is its superi- ority to any other medicine known, that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained.
