TIE ANXIOUS sEAr



WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-The government en-
ployes most of whom are drifting back now
that they have cast their votes, recognize the
fact that the official count by counties is being
made in New York to-day, and they are natu-
rally all excitement. There are few simple
souls like Carl Shurz who have, in all honesty of
mind assured the government employees that
they are not likely to be disturbed But they
are not set of idiots. They know better.
Already they have begun to prepare for the
storm The real estate dealers are already feel
ing the effects of it. Several cases are already
reported in which the clerks have gone immedi
ately to dealers, and, putting their property on
the market at % per cent below their former
prices, realized upon it at once. They
officers and that they will be Democrats
They know, too, that these Democratic
cabinet officers will naturally want Democratic
heads of bureaus under and next to them. They
know that these heads Of bureaus and divisions
will be pressed by at least one hundred individ-
uas for every place under them They know
all this and their common sense teaches them
the remainder, and that the man who tells them
that they not going to be disturbed is either
Woefully deceived or else is trying to deceive.
The result is that they are very anxious.
There is good deal of speculation as to the
prospective result of the change upon Washing
ton. Some suppose that the change will have a
depressing influence. With the majority. how
ever, this is not believed. 1t will doubtless
throw quite number of little houses into the
market but not as many as had been antci-
pated, while it will bring thousands and tens of
thousands of people here in search of Office.
There must be as many new ones appointed as
there are old ones displaced, and tho new ones
WILL as a rule, spend more money than the old
ones The immediate result will probably be
most keenly felt in the economy OF many who
expect soon to be displaced. and in the food of
little homes likely to be thrown on the market.

4 Few Pertinent Remarks to Young Men on

BUFFALO Nov. 12-It was rumored on Sun
day that Rev. George II. Ball would have some
thing to say about the issues of the past presi-
Dental campaign. His church was therefore
crowded to its fullest capacity. The sermon
was to young men, and those who came were
not disappointed, for the divine still has the
courage of his convictions. His text was from
Hebrews, eleventh chapter and thirtyfourth
verse; ''Out of weakness were made strong,
waxed valiant in fight" In substance he saia;
Gas method of becoming strong have faith in
God Young men should have convictions well
settled and defined, and should have the courage
of their convictions, to stand up for them and
speak in their defense This implies fight
against wrong against dishonesty, against op-
preston and decency. Knowing that immortality,
lust and drunkenness is struggling for the high

Many have an idea that minister's idea is to
preach goodness in the abstract and to ignore
personal wickedness in high places to have
nothing to do with current events and espe-

advocate goody goody life, but never to attack
concrete wickedness lest he be DETAINED, ex

A Thin Defense of an Outrage.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 12-In regard to the al
legged assaults on letter carriers in this city, and
especially that of VIM. L. Miller, who states
that an attempt was made on his lite, the Sun
tomorrow will say that its representative called
on VIM B. Stewart grocer at South Paca and
Fremont streets, who formerly employed Miller
as a clerk. He said he disbelieved the story of
the assault He was disnclined to enter into
details as to Miler's mental characteristics, but
was quite positive that Postmaster Adreon for
whom he has the greatest respect. has been i'm
posed upon. He had nothing to say against the

Afraid of Cleveland.

PITTsBURe. Nov. 12-In addition to injury
done to iron interests by the probable election
of Cleveland as President, the vast glass indus
try is also beginning to suffer This afternoon
heavy contracts for two glass factories on the
South Side were cancelled in consequence of this
uneasiness. At one of these establishments
seven orders were countermanded They aggre-
gate not less than $500 worth of glass, and
would have furnished the workmen there with
steady work for three months. At the other
factories the orders Cancelled were three in num-
ber, worth probably So, 900.
The consumers gave a reason that they be-
lieve that, with the Democratic party in power,
the building prospects for the coming season
would be bad. and they consequently would not
want much glass. The real reason beyond this
is that builders expect to get cheap glass in con
sequence of further depression and possible
lower tariff under the new administration.

THE FAITH CURE.
Result of the Tabors of Bulkley, ITS Advocate
in Wisconsin-Many Converts.

CHICAGO, Nov 12-W H. Bulkley the Chi
eago harness-maker of faith-cure fame, has
returned from Watertown, Wis, where since
Oct 16 he has held a series of meetings for the
purpose of curing the sick and making converts
to the Free Methodist faith. He reports total
of S14 persons cured, among whom were resi-
dents of Wisconsin, Iowa. Minnesota. Illinois
and Michigan. Toward the close of the series
of meetings it was necessary TO issue tickets of
admission to the church, so great was the crowd.
Mr.. Toyey, Bulkley's co-laborer previous to pre-
senting a list of names of persons cured, told
how twenty-slx persons had been cured by send
ing their handkerchiefs up to Bulkley, who, by
returning them to the senders, thus transmitted
healing powers. This was done where it was
impossible for the persons desiring to be cured
to get near the platform. By way of converting
skeptics, 116 were cured through the instru-
mentality of green leaves given by Bulkley to
diseased men and women, who announced their
instant cure as miracles, and created an amount
of confidence which no number of skeptical in
dividuas could overthrow. Others having
touched the hem of Bulkley's garment, an
nounced themselves instantly cured. Bulkey

sas and Nebraska, and to n description of its
symptoms. DR.. Salmon reaches the conclusion
that the disease was ergotism, due to eating q
fungus known ergot Upon the treatment
and prevention of this disorder he says "When
the first signs of the disorder appear the most
important point to be attended to is to make
complete change of food, and to see that this is
Of good quality, nutritious and free from ergot
1t would also be proper to give dose OF physic
of from one to two pounds of EPSON salts, in or
der to remove aE much as possible the poison still
in the digestive organs, and to follow this with
soft food, as mashes and roots In the most Sc
cases those in which part of u limb is al
ready ifeless the treatment will avail but little
The greater number of cases, however have not
advanced to this stage when lameness is first
tlced. and these will be greatly benefited by re-
moving the cause and placing the animal under
conditions favorable for person very inn
portant condition is warmth. Even when the
animals are fed large quantities IF ergot they
seldom suffer except in cold weather. and. conSe
quently, in the attempt 20 check the advance Of
the disease advantage should be taken of the
fact by placing the cattle in sheds.
Another condition, believed by some to have
much influence in the development of ergotsm,
is the water supply. With plenty of water al
ways at hand it is believed that lrger quantities
OF ergot may be taken for longer time
than when the water supply is deficient In he
cold winters. which occur over so much of the
cattle raising country, it is difficult induce the
ANIMALS to take sui1l1ent amount OF water.
Holes cut through the ice soon freeze over and
the weather is frequently so severe that the cat
tie will drink only few swallows of water be-
fore they will seek shelter from the cutting Winds
and when, later in the day they try to obtain
more water. the drinking holes are frozen over.
Where ersotsm prevails. watering should receive
close attention. Ergotism can probably
be entirely prevented by cutting tho
hay before the seeds have formed.
Both in Missouri and Illinois ! saw the clearest
examples of this hay composed of the same
kinds of grass cut upon the same land, which
were free from ercot or largely infected with it,
according as it had been cut green or ripe. This
matter is worthy of careful consideration. Hay
cut green is more digestbe and in every way
more valuable than that which is allowed TO be-
come ripe and woody. and the latter is more liable
to produce severe disease such rs indigestion,
impaction and ergotis,n. This fatal disorder may,
therefore, be prevented in future by proper and
careful management

1t was asserted by the Democratic papers
that Mr.. Blaine was offended at this, and
had charged Mr. Phelps with selfshness and
treachery. There is no truth in this story, save
in the fact about the vote cast for Mr. Phelps
The matter had not attracted Mr.. Blaine's notice,

Phelps. The friendship between the two gentle
