Of SOC Maine Avenue, man whose large
and intimate acquaintance with prominent
public men here in Washington, renders
his opinion Of unusual weight
THE all important question among the
clerks Of the various departments is, who is
to go. In my opinion there will be very
few changes among the old-tme employees
who have been here year in and year out
through several administrations. The re-
movals will occur among the heads Of de-
partments."
"The sense Of mistrust which must nee
essarily pervade the departments is, sup
pose, detrimental to the proper transaction
of businessY"
"Well, rather, reckon. 1t unfts the
clerks for business. Some get very blue,
for they have purchased little homes which
they must sacrifice"
Last summer it was reported that many
were i'll of malaria. How is itg'
''More likely, i'll of a fear Of O change. I
don't think Washington is so very malari-
Gus. At the same time I admit that since
residing here, have not always felt first
rate. At times I have been greatly troub-
led with sharp-shooting pains. One day
my right arm and leg would torture me with
pain, there would be great redness, heat
and swelling 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 time that 1 would be afflicted
with an intermitting pain that would come
on every afternoon and leave me compare
lively free from suffering during the bal
ance Of the twenty-four hours"
"Of course you consulted the doctors re-
garding your difficulty ?"
Consulted them? Well, I should say I
did. Some told me had neuralgia others
that had iuhamatory rheumatism, for
which there was no cure"
"But didn't they try to relieve your mis-
eries?"
eyes, they vomited and physiced me,
blistered and bled me, pIastered and oiled
me, sweat steamed and everything but
froze me, but without avail"
"But how did you finally recover?"
81 had friend living in Michigan who
had been afflicted in a similar way and had
been cured. He wrote me regarding his re-
cover and advised me to try the remedy
which cured him. Iprocured a bottle and
commenced its use, taking a Tablespoonful
after each meal and at bed time I had
used it about a week when I noticed de-
crease Of the soreness Of the joints and a
general feeling Of relief. persevered in
its use and finally got so I could move
around without limping, when told my
friends that it was warmers safe rheumatic
cure that had put me on my feet"
"Aud do you regard your cure as perma-
ueut?"
"This was more than a year ago, the
trouble has not returned, and haven been
so well in years as am now"
Speaking of President-elect Cleveland,
who, in your opinion, will comprise his
cabinet ?"
"That is as difficult to determine as it is to
say what Office holders will go. Many good
men have been named for the positions
Bayard, Thurman, Bragg, Mcclellan, not to
mention a lot of lesser lights. Every prom.
inent politician has a slate made up, which
