Colonel e. w. Ayres-A Few Stern Fac,

Colonel II. w. Ayres-A Few Stern Facts.
Colonel E. w. Ayres, of Kansas, is out in q card
nearly two col umns in length in the Leavenworth
Press Of August "a in which he denies none of he
charges made against his political status, but
abuses Colonel Anthony, of Leayenworth. Boiled
down to facts, the following is the situation: Col
onel Ayres, who is Il well known Democrat was
appo ointed some months ago special agent of the
Agricultural Department to collect statistics in
the State OF Colorado at salary of 81, 500 per year
upon the recommendation OF Senator Hill, of
Colorado, and Representative Anderson, OF Kan
sas. His wife, Mrs Sallie 7. Ayres, was then and
is now a clerk in the Patent Office upon the rec
concentration of Senator Plumb, OF Kansas; Rep
resentative Anderson, of Kansas, and Senator
Hill, OF Colorado. Secretary Teller says himself
that this man Ayres has written some very mean
things about him. Everybody knows that Ayres
was compelled to leave his place in the Capitol
for abusing Senator ingalls,, and 1t is well known
in Washington that Colonel Ayres has repeatedly
abused Republican administrations and eminent
Republicans through the columns of the Kansas
City Times. These are facts which cannot be con-
troverted The widows of Union soldiers the
orphan children of Republicans, and men who
are entitled to positions under the government
according 10 section l754 of the Revised Statutes
who are out of employment will read the above
with q blush of shame mantling their cheeks.

We have received communication
from A Land Lacquer" with reference
to the story published in the Philadel-
phia Times about an alleged attempt to
influence the Irish vote in Pennsylvania
upon condition of the recall of Minister
Lowell. We take no stock in the ridicu-
lous yarn, and should not think of con-
Meeting the name of any 1rishman in
Washington-either in or out of the
League-with any such pretended enter
prise. If any visionary individual in
Philadelphia wasted good letter-paper
marking out such plan as the one men
toned, all we can say is that he had
either lost his sense or never had any.
No man to whom such letter is sent,
nor any man or organization named in it.,
can in any fairness be presumed as
having encouraged or known of it. 1t
seems to us very fatulent humbug.

She stopped and trod with tottering feet;
The hair was gray. that once WAS gold,
The voice was harsh that once was sweet;
Her hands were wrinkled, and her eyes,
Robbed Of the girllsh light Of joy,
Were dim; felt a sad surprise $50
That had loved her when q boy.
But yet q something in her air
Restored me to the vanished time;

The activity of the British troops while
being heavily reconnoitred by the Arabs
on Saturday was most commendable. 1t
appears by the London dispatches from
the seat of war that Arab made his
attack while "slowly retreating," and
that the British were reconnoitred while
"slowly advancing" Says the reliable
correspondent: "The Egyptian artillery
have got our distance very well, and
their shells are dropping steadily into our
camp" And yet this veracious chron-
icler assures us that at the time he is
writing "no casualties have occurred"
This style of news must be intended for
the English recruiting offices.

The Nation cannot and will not allow q

DOctOred Drugs.

"You ask me to tell you some of the
authorizations and substitutions that are
made by some dishonest and unscrupu-
lous druggists" said Mr.. Malcomson,
aretired pharmacist yesterday. "and
l might. Yankeelike. ask You to tell me
some that they don't make. There is
nothing within the range of human
knowledge in the way of drugs that
cannot be adulterated, and there is
scarcely drug that has not 4 substitute
that will defy anything but a practical
eye or the test of a chemical analysis.
Under the present system of carrying
on the business there is nothing like a
fair competition. The fact is that
chemical science has taken such mighty
strides that the art of substituting is
now as familiar to certain gra1es of
druggists as the simplest formulas in
the books. These, hope and believe,
are few and far between, and yet there
are enough of them to injrre the trade
and the reputation of honest dealers.
and to perplex and worry the physi-
clans. Among a certain class of people.
not the very poor especially, there is a
rage for cheapness, of which the char
latans of the drug trade have not been
slow to take advantage. With these
people to be well served is to be cheaply
served, and they go home chuckling to
themselves when they have saved a
penny or two, never thinking that per-
haps there search after economy would
result eventually in loss both of mon
ey and health. Sometimes, just before
retired from business, man would
come into my Office and ask: what
would you fill this bottle with lauda-
mum for?' .Seventy-fve cents l would
answer. oh, 1 can get it filed for
thirty-five cents never argued the
point, but let him get his laudanum as
oheaply as he could. All knew was
that / could not sell it for that price.
Probably he got it of less than half
strength.
M experience of drug stores leads
me tebelieve that those which are al
ways1selling out and changing hands
had better be avoided. The odds are
that their stocks are never complete,
and that their ability to fill even ordi-
