This Is all very satisfactory and pleasant. but
just previous to my commencing the use OF
your medicine, had purchased two suits of
fine clothes at high price, and find, to INV
dismay that they are entirely useless to me
now. When put one OF lay coats on, my

situated, could exchange these useless gar

The Fat Mems Convention,

We can see some pleasure, if no reason, in
the converting OF baby show, but we con-
TESS we could never see the slightest cause,
reasonable or otherwise, for a tat men IS con-
vention, unless it be the tact that misery
loves company. For fifty or hundred men,
bred to three hundred pounds to hold a con-
vention simply because Of so much surplus
avoirdupois, is absurd to say the least 1t be-
comes doubly so when we reflect that obesity
is u disease. What could we think OF as
many persons emaciated by consumption
holding convention to compare their rea-
tive weights. There is but one ground upon
which We would advocate another fat mems
convention, and that is that they will meet
to discuss the merits of Allan's Anti-Fat, the
only known remedy tor obesity. 1t is safe and
reliable. Sold by druggists

Taxpayers who are disposed to find
fault with the Hayes Sherman admin
istration for adding nearly one hundred
and twcntv-one millions to the bonded
debt in eighteen months, may console
themselves with the reflection that ''the
public credit has been strengthened.
1t was generally supposed that this
Government was designed to protect
and promote the interests of its citi-
zens: but according to the Shylock the
orv. the chief object Of the government
is to borrow mony and tax the indus
tries of the nation to pay interest
thereon.
The bondholder tolls not, neither
does he spin, bit he is willing to see
others toll and spin to pay the interest
on his coupons.
"Let no guilty man escape. said
Grant, and then he. the guiltiest OF
them all, escaped TO Europe.
1t makes the Republican leaders as
mad As hornets to nave us show by Off
cial figures, how the bonded debt has
been increased. They will be madden
Vet when the election returns show how
the number of Greenback voters has
increased.
The money ring of this nation will
learn ere long that, with all its hoard
ed wealth, and with all its purchasing
power. there is one thing In this bond
cursed country which it cannot buy
and that is. the vote of an honest, In
dependent man.
Instead of being national blessing
to be perpetually in debt, especially i
it be an Understanding debt, 1t Is :
deep curse: still since this is the condi
ton of our nation, we have 1t IN oul
power to extract good out of the evil
by wiping out all interest in the Is
sue of Grenback money. and starting
the wheels of industry and prosperity
by giving full employment to labor.

The Eastern Question

LONDON, April l2.-At Vienna. Prince
Gortschakoff s reply has created an i'm
preston of Russian willingness to find an
acceptable method for reopeniug negotia-
tlons. This moderate spirit is believed to
De IN great measure due to the altered
tone OF the comments Of the German,
French and Italian press and politicians
concerning the treaty of San Stefano, and
which point to the probability of Russia,
instead of England, being isolated in case
of a rupture.
The alleged circular of Gortschakoif,
which seem to reply to Austria objections,
IS probably stupid hoax of some Paris
newspaper. There seems to be some dis
position at st. Petersburg to show Rou-
mania more consideration. 1t is announced
that Gortschakott meant that the stipula-
ton for the passage of Russian troops
through Reumania, not the question of the
cession of Bessarabia, could not be submit
ted to the congress. 1t is also stated that
the Russian commissioners will go to Blu.
chareSt to treat with the government.
SteYtcha Michaielovitz, the Servian min
lister president, has resigned, In conse-
quence of the vacillating policy of the
Servian government, 1t is said that anglo
Austrian influences are now in the ascend
ant at Belgrade, and there is disposition
OF the part Of Servia, Roumania, and
Montenegro to make joint remonstrance
to the powers against the treaty of San
Stefano.
Such solution should not, however, null-
ify the results gained by Russian blood,
but take into account her sacrifice.
ST pETEpS Apr1l bo Toa,,a
nal de ST. Petersburg, reviewing the opinions
of the foreign press upon Gortschakoff s
reply, concludes as follows: The real de-
sire of Russia to bring about peaceful
solution of existing difficulties meets with
universal recognition, The British gov
ernment must now abandon its purely neg
alive position, either by inviting the powers
to assemble for common negotiations, or by
proposing solutions which the British cab
met might wish to substitute for the treaty
of San Stefano. Should the powers find a
compromise, Russia would willingly partic-
lpate in the discussion and modify her
treaty.
LONDON. April 12-The tone of com
ments on the political crisis is much more
hopeful. The conviction is that Russia is
preparing to accept Germany's help TO get
out of the present dead lock by such con
cessions as will secure a meeting of the
congress. Prince Gortschakoff S reply tc
Lord Salisbury's circular, to which it was
annexed, was only published in St. Peters.
burg yesterday.
