will be protected by the Democrats. As to
the fear entertained by some that the south
centemplates a raid on the treasury for pay
ment OF slaves or for pensions TO confederate
soldiers they are too absurd to receive a
serious consideration. The south only wants

CLEYEL6ND's POLICY.
VIEWS OF A WESTERN EDITOR on
THE COMING ADMINISTRATION
The Civil Service Law To Be Enforced
Tilden's Advice to Have Great
Weight-Cabinet Timber Like
ly To be Used.

CHICAGO Dec. 26.-Dr. George L. Miller,
editor of The Omaha Herald, was at the
Grand Pacific Thursday, and in answer to
questions as to his views regarding the com
ing administration, said:
"A sound man has been elected to the
presidency, and one Of larger measure than
the people of the country generally credit
l expect him to pursue a very prudent, con-
sentative policy, making changes in office
with great moderation and caution. and
with no rush and hurry. l expect that he
will be steady and persistent in his efforts to
reform abuses, and, so far as he can direct,
to persuade congress to reduce the taxes,
exterminate barnacles, and, in regard to
taxation by tariff, proceed with great
caution so that no interest may be shocked
or injured. believe he will pursue the pol
icy laid down by the national convention, by
recommending that all taxation be based
on the needs of the government honestly and
economically administered. No, he will
favor no horizontal measures, but careful
and tax luxuries."
Regarding Cleveland and civil service,
DR. Miller9'
a expect he will enforce the law rigidly
as he ought to do. Yes, that applies &c
minor offices, As for all political offices,
they belong to the party, and will be as
gradually changed as may seem best for the
interests of the government In this matter
believe he viii know no north, no south, nc
east and no west"
1.-THE cabinet, doctor. What do you say
of Garlands chances?'
ut is highly probable that Garland will
be among the earliest members chosen fol
the cabinet. l regard him as one of the
ablest men of our party, and as lawyer
don't believe he is surpassed by Edmund'
himself Broadheads l think decidedly
not l should not think that Missouri woult
get cabinet office--and that is with
| out saying anything about Broadhead
who is very respectable man. As tt
| Bayard, il he is in the cabinet, be probably
will be seeretary of state, But, by the way
| think Mr.. Whitney will be in the cabinet
and he will be one of the strongest men tina
| will be in it."
DR.. Miller, who had expressly been givinl
his own opinion; and not those Of mai
who enjoyed the acquaintance and confldenc
Of Mr.. Til1en, was then asked:
do you consider that Mr.. Tilden will b
an intimate adviser of the Cleveland ad

A happy surprise it was to Mr.. b. +.
Norton, of Bristol, Conn, when ATHLcPHoRos
put him on his feet, and sent him eheerfully
about his business. Let him tell his own story:
"About three weeks ago | was taken
with a severe crick In the back Fer four days
was unable to turn in bed without help and
when lifted up could not stand on my feet was
induced to try ATHLoPHoRos, after al the usuaf
remedies failed In 20 minutes after taking the
first dose could bear my weight upon my feet
In two days WAS able to get about and attend
to business. In two other cases which have
come to my knowledge its Use has been attended
with the same results"
A poor man in Philadelphia had TO bor-
row dollar TO buy bottle Of ATHLoPHoROs.
On account of his poverty his name shall remain
secret He had suffered terribly from Rheu-
mattsm. He gratefully writes:
81 took my first dose Tuesday afternoon
and on Wednesday, after but seven doses, / had
not sharp or severe ache left. Then reduced
the dose one-half and took the remainder Of tho
bottle. was able TO be stoady at work till Sat.
urday, when took a severe cold and was I'm.
able to use my left hand. purchased another
bottle and by bedtime found relief The
medicine is ali you claim for it."
Investigate ATHLoPHoRosall you please!
Find all the fault you choose with it and
yet the fact remains, that it is doing what
no other medicine ever could do for Rheu-
matism and Neuralgia.
If you cannot get ATnLoPHoRos of your drug
gist, we VIII send 1t express paid, on receipt of
regular price-one dollarper bottle Weprefer
that you buy it from your druggist, but II he
hasn't 1t, do not be persuaded to try something
else, but order at once from us as directed.
