"Ycs, the principal topic'of CONVERSE
ton here at present is the probable ac-
ton of the incoming administration. "
The speaker was MIR. William Nj.
Ashley, of SOC Main avenue, man
whose large and intimate acquaintance
with prominent public men here in
Washington, renders his opinion OF I'M
usual weight.
1.-THE ali important question among
the clerks of the various depart
ments is, who is to 90? In my opinion
there will be very few changes among
the old-time employees who have been
here year in and year out through sew
cral administrations. The removals
will occur among the heads of depart
ments."
1.-The sense of mistrust which must
necessarily pervade the departments is,
I suppose, detrimental to 'the proper
transaction of business?''
"Well, rather, l reckon. 1t units
the clerks for business. Some get very
blue, for they have purchased little
homes which they must sacrifice. y
Last summer it was reported that
many were ill of malaria. How is it?'
"More likely i'll of a fear of change.
I don't think Washington is so very
malarious. At the same time l admit
that since residing here, have not al
WAYS felt first-rate. AT times L have
been greatly troubled with sharp-shoot-
inc pains. One day my right arm and
lee would torture me with pain, there
would be great redness, heat and swell
ing of the parts, and perhaps the next
day the left arm and leg would be SIM
ilarly affected. Then again it would
locate in some particular part OF my
body and produce a tenderness which
would well nigh drive me frantic.
There would be weeks at q time that L
would be afflicted with an intermittng
kind of pain that would come on every
afternoon and leave me comparatively
free from suffering during the balance
of the twenty-four hours.
"Of course you consulted the doctors
regarding your diflicultyp ;,
3Consulted them? Well, | should
say did. Some told me had neural
gia; others that l had lnilammatory
rheumatism, for which there was no
cure"
"But didn't they try to relieve your
miscriesp"
eyes, they vomited and physiced me,
blistered and bled me, plastered and
oiled me, sweat, steamed and every.
thing but froze me, but without avail:
sBut how did you finally recoverP'
81 had a friend living in Michigan
who had been afflicted in similar way
and had been cured. He wrote me re-
garding his recovery and advised me to
try the remedy which cured him. L
procured a bottle and commenced It's
use, taking tablespoonful after each
meal and at bed time. L had used 1t
about a week when / noticed decrease
of the soreness of the joints and gem
eral feeling of relief. l persevered IN
its use and finally got so l could move
around without limping, when l told
nv friends that it was warner safe
rheumatic cure that had put me on my
feet"
"And do you regard your cure as per-
ssThis was more than year ago; the
trouble has not returned and haven
been so well in years as am now:
speaking of President-elect Cleve-
land, who, in your opinion, will COM
prise his cabinetp"
"That is as difficult to determine as
it is to say what otficeholders will go.
Many good men have been named for
the positions-Bayard, Thurman, Bragg,
Mcclellan, not to mention a lot OF lesser
lights. Every prominent politician has
a slate made up which he is backing to
win, but then, as is always the case,
some one will get left"
