SOME WASHINGTON OPINIONS.
WASHINGTON, June 5-The correspondent
of The Chicago Inter Ocean thus telegraphs
with reference to the Mcdonald Interview:
Representative Cobb, one of the most dis
tinguished Democratic leaders in Indiana, is
in the city. With reference to the Hendricks
interview on the presidential situation, Mr..
Cobb said to day. II don't believe Mr.
Hendricks ever used the language attributed
TO him in that interview 1t does not sound
like his way Of putting things OF course it
is possible he did put himself forward for the
vice presidency by advocating the old ticket,
but it is not at all like Hendricks to do so. 1t
contradicts not only his frequent declarations
heretofore, but his very nature. Everybody
who knows Hendricks well will discredit the
newspaper statement, and attribute the SUBJ
stance of the interview to the evident desire
of the reporter. Out our way there is COM
paratively little disagreement as to Indianals
candidate The great body of Indiana Dem
ocrats are for Joseph L. Mcdonald. That is.
50 far as am able to judge Democratic senti-
ment Mr. Hendricks may be said to no
longer enter into the possibilities, and I don't
believe ne thinks he has fighting chance AS
for Mcdonald, he can carry Indiana against
the best man they could put up, which is

DOLLY PAYNE,
Wife of James Madison,
Born May 20, 1868,
nfad Tn1x1 Q 1 ON
Remedies for Seasickness.

Many people, as soon as seasickness COM
mences, have recourse to oranges, lemons
etc. Now, oranges are very much to be
avoided on account of their bilious tenden-
cy, and even the juice of lemon should on
ly be allowed in cases OF extreme nausea
Champagne, too, is very common RENE
dy, and, without doubt, in many cases, does
good; but this appears to be chiefly due to
its exhilarating effects, as, if it be discontin-
ued, the result is bad, and great amount
OF prostration follows.
Creosote is avery old but still very good
remedy, and in cases accompanied by great
prostration, is very useful; but If given in
the early stage of sea-sickness it is often fol-
lowed by very bad results, and even increas-
es the nausea.
Bicarbonate of soda is used in slight cases
as it relieves nausea and checks the frequent
eructations which often follow attacks of
sea-sickness; but in severe cases it is abso-
lutely useless, and, in fact, it very often pro-
longs the retching.
A very good remedy in the earlier stages
of sea-sickness is teaspoonful of Worcester
sauce. How this acts ] cannot say: but It,
without doubt, relieves the symptoms and
renders the patient easier. Its action is
probably of a stimulant nature.
Hydrocyanic acid is of very little service,
and most acid mixtures are to be avoided,
except that, perhaps, for drinking purposes,
when it is best to acidulate the water with
a small quantity of hydrochloricacid.
OF all the drugs used, found the most eff
fectual was bromide of sodium. When bro
mide of sodium is given in doses of ten
grains three times day, the attacks entire
ly subside, the appetite improves, and the
patient is able to walk about with comfort
In all cases of seasickness it is very desir-
able that the patient should take sufficient
food, so that at all times the stomach should
be Comfortably full for by this means over
straining during fits of retching is prevented
and the amount of nausea. is diminished
The practice of taking small pieces of dry
biscuit is not of much use, as, although the
biscuit is retained by the stomach, yet the
amount taken is never sufficient to comfor-
tably fill the stomach. Soups, milk-puddings
and sweets are to be avoided, as they in
crease the desire to be sick, and are followed
by sickening eructations. Fat bacon is east
ly borne and does much good if only the pa
tent can conquer his aversion to it, When
taken in moderate quantity it acts like a
charm, and is followed by very good results.
But of all food, curry is the most useful
in seasickness, and is retained by the stonl-
ach when all other food has been rejected.
Next to curry, / would place small sand
wiches of cold beef, as they look nice on the
plate, and are usually retained by the stom-
| ach.
In conclusion, would advise that brandy
should be used very sparingly, as, in many
cases, IL induces sea-sickness, and its chief
use is confined to those cases where the pros
tration is very great, and even then cham
payne is more DISQUALIFICATION Medical

been wealthy and respected citizen, but
who had become impoverished by lack of
deep water and his efforts to counterfeit the
atmospheric influences, approached the
group in sidelong manner, somewhat after
the manner of crab, and by display of
the transitory wit which so delights drum
mers, he charmed the entire circle. The
drinks which he inhaled were numerous,
and at the expense of the drummers. Final
ly, as he was about to withdraw from the
canvass, one of the drum mers inquired, Just
as if he really had some doubts on the SUBJ
ject:
Don't you want ten cents to get a drink
with in the morning?"
The tramp did not accept the nomination
viva voce; but, after pause, remarked that
he thought there was no legal obstacle to
the drummer making that kind of an invest
ment.
81 will advance you the money If you will
promise not to spend 1t until tomorrow
morning, and then only for drink"
As the Cotton Exchange was closed for
inifutules, so the tramp readily promised TO
carry out the trust imposed upon him.
"Here is your money"
The beggar, impecunious no longer, took
the money, and was about to convey 1t to
place of safety, when an idea seemed to
strike him with considerable violence He
turned back.
81 say, gentlemen, hope you understand
am a man of my word"
so, certainly"
81 have promised not to buy drink with
this money until tomorrow morning."
''That's the understanding"
"Just SO; but the Bible says never put Off
until tomorrow that which you can do to-
day. and"-
"You are not going back on your word?''
so, mol but wss just thinking that, as
capital is so insecure, the dread Of my being
robbed in my sleep will keep me awake all
night. Now, if had another drink right
now, a sort of nightcap, you know, / would
sleep as sound as if had no cash balance
on my mind. tell you, gentlemen, men of
wealth have their troubles as well as the
poorer classes. Before became the custo-
dian of that ten cents with which you have
SO generously endowed me, had occasion
to resort to artificial means to produce
healthful slumber. My sleep was like that
of an infant, so calm''-
90, pshawl Here's another dime to get a
night-cap.'
The proposition was accepted on the spot,
and the ten cents was utilized in procuring
an antidote against the atmospheric influ-
ences which are said to be more deleterious
just now than at any previous epoch in the
history of the Island City.

The Forestry Congress.

The latest attempt to rouse public senti-
ment to the necessity of some action looking
to the preservation and renewal of our for
ests has just been made by the American
Forestry Congress which has recently closed
its session in the Northwest. Certainly un-
Jess our woodlands are to be given over en-
tirely to the lender mercies of the axe and
locomotive spark it Is high time that some
thing was done, and the note of alarm
which the Congress has sounded is not
causeless, but fully justified by facts At the
present rate OF consumption it is estimated
that in the State of Maine the supply of pine
VIII last but four years, while spruce will be
exhausted in fifteen years. In the great
States of the Northwest decade will serve
to extinguish the pine tree unless some
means are taken to restock the forests, 1t is
true that attempts have been made within a
few years in the West by legislation to en-
courage the planting of trees, in many cases
attended with gratifying results; but the
clearing of farms by the settler, the whole
sale cutting by the lumbernan and the forest
fire have stripped the woodlands at rate so
rapid that nature, even though assisted,
could not supply the deficiency.
Legislation doubtless can accomplish
something in the direction of checking the
destruction of our forests and in providing
for renewal, but the only radical remedy
lies in educating the people on the subject,
and the recent Congress wisely
bent its efforts in that direction.
Among other suggestions which met ap-
proval from the Congress was one urging
that all industrial colleges and normal
schools begin at once the teaching of tree
planting and forest culture. 1t was also ad-
vised that instruction in the science and art
of forestry be given in the public schools.
Local experiment stations, in which intelli-
gent farmers may unite in specified investi-
cations were recommended, also practical
lectures on the subject of tree culture before
farmers institutes. These suggestions are in
the right direction, though there is room for
doubt as TO the practicability of some of
them. The public schools are pretty we'll
burdcned with studies already, and it is diff
fcult to see how anything can be added IN
less something be dropped. But whether
suggestions be found practical or not the
Congress has accomplished some good by
calling renewed attention to subject the
Importance of which is universally ac-
knowledged.

The telegraphic brotherhood has formally
surrendered and the strike is over. The net
results are the loss of a months wages by
six or eight thousand men who can i'll afford
to lose them, good deal of inconvenience
to the public, considerable loss to the West
ern Union Company, which it will prob
ably soon make up by mulcting its patrons,
and the breaking up of the Brotherhood.
Had the telegraphers anticipated these would
be the results of course the strike would new
er have been begun. Yet the knowledge
which we now possess of the condition of
the anization-knowledge which the
strikers should have had and conld have had
before the strike began-shows that these
results were inevitable. Instead of the
compact, comprehensive body which the
strikers boosted it was, the Brotherhood
proves to have been rather loose iointed
organization, which was far from including
in its ranks all the first class operators of
the country, and outside of which was
large body of workmen tolerably skilled in
the telegraphic art, eager to turn the situa-
ton to their advantage. And this force, bad
ly organized and badly differed, undertook
to besiege and starve out, as it were, great
combination of capital, of vast resources
and with no rival worthy of the name. Sc
curely guarded from flank movements as
this combination was, for there were no cor
porations that could be built up at its ex-
pense, the only hope of success lay in Grip
ping its power to do the business of the
country SO completely that public clamor
would compel it to yield. From the mo
ment when it became apparent that the
Brotherhood was not equal to this task de-
feat was seen to be inevitable. The Broth
erhood saw it themselves, and the frequent
assertions from their ranks were instigated
blythe conviction that the strike was doomed
to failure.

The Democratic Mayor Of Bangor is pranc-
ing around in much the same style as cur
own chief magistrate. He has undertaken
to put through the City Council granite
paving job involving an expenditure of
$4,000. The Republicans, who control the
lower board, object, and the mayor threatens
to kill the general appropriation bill for or
binary city expenditures unless he can have
his own way about the granite paving job.
Evidently Democratic mayors in Maine are
chips from the same block.
