AYERS PILLS.

large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARrIc PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed 10
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment. including Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tee, shows unmistakabiy the estimation in
which they are held by the medical proies-
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
AYERS PILLS are invaluable 10 me, and
are my constant companion. l have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, ami your
PILLS are the only thing ! could look 10
for relief. one dose viii quickly move my

are the most effective and the easiest physic

speak in their praise, and i always DO SO
when occasion offers.

WORK OF THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
The Commissioners, who were APP
pointed under the act of January
is. 1888, entitled AN Act to Regu-
late and Improve the Civil Service
of the United States" entered
promptly upon the discharge of
these duties. A series ofrules, franz
ed in accordance with the spirit OF
the statute, was approved and pro
mulgated by the President, in some
particulars wherein they seemed de-
fective those rules were subsequently
amended.
1t will be perceived that they dis
countenance any political or reli-
gious tests for admission to those
offices of the public service to which
the statutes relate. The act is linn
tied in It's original application to
the classified clerkships in the sew
eral Executive departments at
Washington numbering about D.
600. and to similar positions IN
customs districts and postollices,
where as many as fifty persons are
employed.
a classification of these positions,
analogous to those existing In the
Washington offices, was duly made
before the law went into effect.
Eleven customs districts and
twenty three postoffices were thus
brought under the immediate opera
ton of the statute.
The annual report of the Civil
Service Commission, which will
soon be submitted to Congress, will
doubtless afford the means OF a more
definite judgment than ] am now
prepared to express as to the merits
of the new system. lam persuaded
It's effects have thus far proved ben
efcial. It's practical methods anpear
to be adequate for the ends proposed
and there has been no serious diff
Guilty in carving them INTO effect.
Since the 10Th of July last no
person, so far as | am aware, has
been appointed to the public service
in the classified positions thereof at
any ofthe departments or At any OF
the postoflices and customs districts
above named, except those certified
by the Commission to be the most
competent on the basis on the exam
nations held in conformity to the
rules.

THE VETO POWER.

For the reasons fully stated in my
last annual message, | repeat my
recommendation that Congress pro-
Lose an amendment to that provis-
ion of the Constitution which pre-
scribed the formalities for the enact
ment Of laws whereby, in respect to
bills for the appropriation of public
moneys the Executive may be ena-
bled, while giving bis approval to
particular items, to interpose his veto
of such Others as do not commend
themselves to his judgement.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1883-12-12

At the time when the present EX-
ecutive entered upon his office, his
death, removal, resignation, or ina
bility to discharge his duties, would
have left the Government without a
Constitutional head. 1t is possible,
of course, that similar contingency
may again arise, unless the wisdom
of Congress shall provide against Its
reoccurrence.
The Senate, at its last session, af-
ter full consideration, passed an act
relating to this subject, which will
now, / trust, commend itself to the
approval of both Houses Of Congress.
The clause of the Constitution upon
which must depend any law regula-
ting the Presidential succession pre-
sents also, for solution, other ques
tions of paramount importance.
These questions relate to the proper
Interpretation of the phrase, Ina
bility to discharge the powers and
duties of said. office"
Our organic law provides that
when the President shall suffer from
such inability the Presidential office
shall devolve upon the Vice Presi-
dent, WHO must himself, under like
circumstances, give place to such
officer as Congress may by law APP
point to act as President.
need not here set forth the nu-
merous and interesting inquiries
which are suggested by these words
of the Constitution. They were full
ly stated in my first communication
to Congress, and have since been the
subject of frequent deliberations in
that body.
1t is greatly to be hoped that these
momentous questions will find spec
dy solution, lest emergencies may
arise when longer DELAY will be im'
possible, and any determination,
albeit the wisest, may furnish cause
! for anxiety and alarm.

The Fourteenth Amendment OF
the Constitution confers the rights OF
citizenship upon all persons born or
naturalized in the United States. and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof. 1t
was the special purpose of this
amendment to insure to members OF
the colored race the full enjoyment
of civil and political rights.
Certain statutory provisions, in
tended to secure the enforcement oi
these rights, have been recently de-
clared unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court. Any legislation where
by Congress may lawfully supple
ment the guarantees which the Con
stitution affords for the equal enjoy
ment by all the citizens of the United
States, of every right, privilege, and
immunity OF citizenship, will receive
nay unhesitating approval.

OUR INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITIONS.

The industrial exhibitions which
have been held in the United Stated
during the present year have attract
ed attention in many foreign coun-
tries, where the announcement of
those enterprises had been made
public through the foreign agencies
of this Government. The industrial
exhibition at Boston and the South
ern Exposition at Louisville were
largely attended by the exhibitors
of foreign countries, notwithstsnd-
ing the absence of any professional
character in these undertakings.
The Centennial Exposition to
be held next year at New
Orleans, in commemoration OF
the centenary of the first
shipment OF cotton from a port
of the United States, bids fair to
meet with like gratifying success.
Under the act of Congress of the 10th
of February, 1888, declaring that
exposition to be national and inter-
national in its character, all foreign
governments with which the United
States maintain relations have been
invited to participate. The pro-
meters of this important undertak-
ing have already received assurance
of the lively interest which it excited
abroad.

THE MORMON PROBLEM.


The Utah Commission has sub
mitted to the Secretary of the Interi-
or its second annual report. As a
result of its labors in supervising the
recent election in that Territory,
pursuant to Act of March -, 1889.
it appears that the persons by that
act disqualified number about H.
600, who were excluded from the
polls.
This fact, however, affords little
cause for congratulation. and | fear
that it is far from indicating anv
real and substantial progress toward
the determination of polygamy. All
of the members of the Legislature
are Mormons. There is grave rea-
son to believe that they are in SYM
pathy with the practices that this
Government is seeking to suppress,
and that its effort in that regard
will be more likely to incur their
opposition than TO receive their en-
csuragement and support. Even il
this view should possibly be errone-
Gus, the law under which the Com.
missioners have been acting should
be made more effective by the in
corporation OF some such stringent
measures as they recommend-such
as were included in bill No. 2,23S on
the calendar of the senate at It's last
session. / am convinced, however
that polygamy has become SO
strongly introduced in the Territory
of Utah that it is profitless to attack
with any but the strongest weap-
