The papers of both parties call at.
tention to the fact that no man is ellgi-
bic to the Office of presidential election
who holds any other official position.
It is believed that both parties will be
specially careful in the formation of
Electoral tickets, to select men who are
clearly eligible to the Office. We have
had one grave admonition on the sub
ject, and there can be no excuse for the
nomination of ineligible or even doubt
full candidates, in the face of the con-
yulsions of 1875. 80.

ut becomes my duty to prefer charges against
Brig. Gen. D. G. Swain at the head of the but
reau of military justice of the United States

am member Some two years ago said D. G.
Swain, having deposited the sum of s., 600 re-
ceived upon his departure for the West a

accident should befall him. This amount was
checked ont subsequent to- that
date by said D. G. Swain, for which we
have number Of vouchers. After having
drawn all the money out, and settlement
being made, he negotiated and transferred the
due bill for the full amount with certain par
ties in this city. I am further ready to prove
that said D. G. Swain assisted to negotiate
army pay vouchers with our firm, which he
knew to be fraudulent and duplicates Of out
standing accounts. ask that a court martial
be ordered for the trial of said D. G. Swain on

Washington Special: It is stated on good
authority that Secretary Lincoln will refuse to
permit the withdrawal of the charges of deal

Advocate General Swain, and will direct the
examination to proceed 1t is well known that
Lincoln was never friendly to Swain, who was
forced Oh him by Garfield. It is understood
that Lincoln will make it very warm for the

other military officials have been engaged in

there is prospect for a brief scandal over the
affair. Beside army pay accounts, there are
various sensational rumors concerning the OPP

now developed that Swain has never made

posed to have that investigated also:

"Corpu1ence and It's Treatment"

Some years ago Bantings treatise on
corpulence and the dietary method of
treatment was extensively read. The
remedial plan suggested was, on the
whole, a safe and good one. There was
nothing new in it. Every well-read and
experienced physician was familiar with
the theory, and many had prescribed
the remedy in their practice. But the
monograph attracted considerable at
tention, and there were not few who
adopted the suggestions with varyingre-
suits depending upon the strictness
with which they adhered to the rules
laid down. It was clear enough that
corpulency could be reduced in great
number Of instances without any det-
riment to health, but with an actual
gain on that score.
DR.. Wilhelm Ebstein, professor of
Medicine in the Royal University of
Goettingen. is the author of treatise
on " Corpulence, which has been trans
lated by Emil W. Hoeber, NJ. D., a
member of the Medical Society of New
York. The writer holds that the Bant-
ing cure was nothing more or less than
the starvation cure. That is hardly a
fair designation. It discarded all such
foods as contained fat, or fat-making
elements, as starch, sugar and all fat
meat: But a very wholesome diet
could he made up of other articles
offered, and it did not require much
self-denial to adopt the Banting regula-
lions for a time. Ebstein's treatment
is explained in the following para
graphs:
In regulating the diet our attention
has first of all to be turned to the fact
that conditions of "inanition" have to
be avoided. For this we have to observe
two thing: &c.,.
l. That the patient who has normally
good appetite, does not show an alb
normal, irregular desire for food. ~
2. That the patient loses gradually
some of his bulk and weight, at the
same time, feeling any diminution Of his
capacity for work. On the contrary,

Comment Prom Bradstreet's

New York, Special Telegram. Commenting
on the selling movement in the Gould stocks
during the past week, Bradstreet's says: No
operator outside of lunatic asylum would
dare to sell Mr. Gould's stock short in such
style, for it would be only inviting financial
ruin. It was clear thBt Mr. Gould had made
up his mind to reduce the enormous load of Sc
cllrities he was carrying, and he has been do
ing it with boldness characteristic of his style
of operation. The effect, however, on the 9TH
or large operators, who joined the various
pools formed by Mr.: Gould in January, has
been rather demoralizing: The members of
course expected that the market would be kept
steady, and strong bull movement worked
up about the time the selling was to be done,
upon which they could float out OF their stocks
at profit. As it stands now, the pool men,.
bers see that the strength of their stocks has
been awaited of by MI. Gould to sell out his
own, and there have been loud grumblings
heard in the last three or four days Wander
bilt people are particularly annoyed Mr. Van
derbilt has been sustaining his own stocks;
the Union Pacific people havefbeen struggling
to hold up their stock against the battering it
has had, but the St Paul has made the most
stubborn fight, and that stock has surprised
the street by the strength it has shown under
the continuous assaults made upon it

The Crop Outlook.

Chicago, Special Telegram. Dispatches have
been received from various states showing the
crop outlook. In Michigan the winter wheat
acreage of the state to be from to 1Oper cent
less than in 1885,, owing to dry weather. 1t is
probable that the fields now present 4 moro

though no reports havd been received since the

From the present condition, fully IS per cent
of an average crop for the past five years is
estimated. The Indications for the wheat
crop in Indiana the state is regarded as
favorable, although it will be neither
as large, nor as prolific as in good
years. The Indiana farmer estimates that
the crop is about IS per cent of average
years, and the condition 81 per cent In Iowa

April 10th. The weather has been favorable,
and the young wheatis we'll rooted. The gen

is per cents less than that of the preceding
year. In the southern division the condition
does not give encouragement for much more
than two-thirds of an average yield per acre.
