oh, Back! !!

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
BRowN's IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of LogsTs-
port, Indiana, writes: " "Myw wife
has for many years been trou-
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Ditters,
and I can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy of many medi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BIT
TIERS. 1t has cured others
suffering as you are and it
will cure you.

BURT IND MERRITT.

THE TRUE INwARDNEss" OF TWO REMOVALS.
TO the Edltor Of The Tribune.
SIR: observe that THE TRIBUNE does not
Endorse very cordially the promotion OF Mr. silas W.
Burt from his position the Custom House TO the Chief
Fxaminership, under the recelt Civil Service rules
Great appears be put upon the fact that the for
mer position is worth $4,000 year. while the latter is
worth only So 0O0 Now THE TRIBUNE has always been
noted its consistency aud am consequently at loss
TO present theories with the theories which
ii held In similar under the Garfield dispensatlon
Tnen, General Merritt was promoted" fron the Col
lectorship 10 he OF the united states
two offices was certainly as great as faa between hs
two involved 10 Mr.. Burts case THE Tribune Upheld
one bona ide promotion why viii u not apply the
same logic to the promotion of Colonel Burt :
Brooklyn, March 2, 1888. STEPHEN HOPKINS.
MR. Stephen Hopkins may not be humbug, but
his talk sounds uncommonly like it. THE TRIBUNE
did not uphold the transfer of General Merritt TO
London as a promotion, nor did it ever beforehand
recommend or urge 1T. The disparity is not
as great, or anything like as great, between
the salaries of the Collectorship and the
-Generalship as between Dr. Burts office and
the one into which they tried to kick him. The
Consul Generalship Is practically lucrative as
the CoIlectorship; probably considering the differ
ence in the demands likely to be made on the in
cumbent, more so. The Office Mr.. Burt held was
paid IS, 900; the Office to which be was promoted
$1,000. Mr.. Burt is no longer young man. He
has given many years to the public service, and
risen by slow gradations to the and considera
ton implied IN the salary he was receiving. With
out private means, IT perfectly known to
the Administration that it would be impossible for
