WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-No full cabis
not meeting has been held since the
presidents return, but at three incom-
plete meetings, the Austrian mission,
the Chinese massacre in Wyoming, the
silver policy, and minor matters under
the interior and treasury departments
were discussed.
First Auditor Chenoweth, of the treas
ury department, has returned to WASH
ington from Texas, ready to continue
his attack upon the coast survey.
He claims that developments vet to be
announced are fully as striking as those
already made public. The subject is
one on which there is much difference
Of opinion in official circles.
Admiral Jouett's case, in which the
treasury charges him with 800 for
money expended in a luncheon to wish
tors on board his flagship, the Tonnes
see, at the New Orleans exposition, is
undoubtedly a hard one In most il not
~allforeign navies allowances are made to
commanding officers for necessary or
reasonable official Inequalities. Butthe
second controller certainly appears to
have the best of it in the discussion un-
thelaw of the matter. He contends that
contingent expenses" allowed by law,
are incidental expenses necessary to the
proper performance of the duties requir.
ed by the department., and he can find
no regulation requiring admirals to give
luncheon on their fag-ships.
One of the hardest fought contests
g a p~ostofice since the administra-
ton came into power was decided yes
terday in the appointment of Mr.. Lem
uel B. Fowler to be post master at Au-
gusta, Maine. The principal applicant,
and the one whose name has been most
intimately connected with the Augusta
Office, was Col. Charles B. Morton, and
it was this fact that caused the ultimate
decision in the case to be looked for
ward to with especial interest. Col.
Morton is n of the %proprieto-s of the
Augusta New Era, and during the pres
DENTAL election of 1884 he made that
journal famous by his stalwart adhe-
renee to the defense OF Mr.. Cleveland.
When the we'll remembered stories were
circulated against the Democratic can
didate for the presidency, Col. Morton
was among the first TO take up the cud-
gels in his defense. The articles he
printed had more weight, inasmuch as
they originated from Mr.. Blaine's own
home, where his youthful carees was
well known to nearly, if not quite all of
the older residents.
Soon after President Cleveland's in
auguration Mr.. Morton's name was
prominently mentioned rs a candidate
for the position of postmaster at Angus.
IA, and his friends urged as his strongest
recommendation, the services he had
rendered the Democratic party through
the medium Of his paper. About this
time Mr.. Blaine and both the senators
from Maine took up the matter and
wrote letters to Mr.. Cleveland, asking as
appointment be not given to. Col. Nor

by the Chicago & Atlantic, making first-class

TsKE CARE or your EYES ,GHr.


PAPER has recently been read before an
English scientific society on the decline and
fall of the human eye. 1t seems to be fact
that within the last fifty years the human eye
has steadily and rapidly deteriorated. Before
that time near-sighted men were rarely met,
and near-sighted child almost unknown.
Now Observation-Disclosures affects large proper
ton OF civilized people of all ages, and in
one country-Germany- person who is not
near-sighted is exceptional. A malformation
of the eye technically called ''fat eye" has
also become common, and the sight of
person thus affected is painfully feeble.
stigmatization is another frequent defect OF
the modern eye, and although II is not rs
bad as it sounds, il is nevertheless defect
more or less serious, as the case may be.
On which the Eumorst of the New York
Times comments:
IF the decay of eyesisht goes on at the rate
that II has gone for the last fifty years civilized
man will be totally blind at the erd of another
century. This will of course mean his extinction,
for The uncivillzed races led by dozens of Maids
of different varieties, will overrun Europe and
America, and will fin difficulty in driving the
blind men into the sea. We must abnn Ion the
p'aciire of using our eyes by artificial light.
Nature evidently designed all reputable animals
to go to sleep with the sun. it Is only beasts
without principle or cor ience-such as jackais,
hyenas. and animals of the cat tribe--that
keep awake all night. It would, therefore, be well
II we had come form of sport which would en-
courage the improvement of cyeaght
We might lave eye matches, for
example, with prizes for those who
could see furthest and clearest. There could be
winking matches, open to persons Of foth sexes
for the purpose of strengthening the muscles Of
the eyeid, and the government might offer pre-
miums to biue-eyed babies. and thus encourage
the style of eye which, according to oculists, is
best adapted for ordinary wear andtear."

Az article in the Fortnishtly Review dis
cussing the British peerage, its present and
future, incidentally says:
''In America weuth is Almost the only object
OF nbltion the only means Of social distinct OF.

consequences. Poii ians without ,ank. neces

OF an h rsditary class Of pubic men, either rich

trade, money naturally becomes the end and re

Washington political society during the lasI
twenty years is imperfectly understood in This
country. The corruption Of state and local pol
itics Is something ncomparably worse; worse
perhaps, than in the worst days Of the last
STUARTs."
White We are compelled TO admit there Is
Il good deal Of truth in the Fortnightly' :
statement Of American politics, yet We feel
grateful that Il is not as bad as it might he,
and not half as bad az our English critics
would have the world believe. While within
a few wears back there was "A great zeal Of
corruption, iobhcry, lobby swindes, and
even social scandals connected with official
life at Washington, there was a public seuti-
ment in the country pure enough and strong
enough 10 eradicate the evil and did do IT,
Ot all the men prominent with the scandals
which brought our government into disrcputr

In politics iu-dav And II there is one now
and then found in public Place It Is because
OF some peculiar local political strength To
keep him there, OF because Of having given
evidence Of such genuine repentance that
his mislreds have been atoned by a gener
Gus public.
The Fudnirhtly's argument IN favor Of pure
politics. based upon the establishment of
hereditary classics Ia imitation of English
Ideas. Is not sound. There is no couutry in
the world where political life has been more
thoroughly dtbased than in England. The
cyisteuUe Of au hereditary class in control
Of English politics has not exempted public
life in that country from the most disgrace
ful corruption and scandals that ever cursed
auy government. Willie We are willing Ia
submit patiently to just criticisms, aud in 81
spirit OF deep humiliation confess our frail-
ties, still We insist that our English uuclcs
should withdraw beams from their own EYES
before commencing 3 search for notes in
the eyes Of their American relatives. We
are bad enough in our way, but, thank the
Lord, not 50 bad as England in her way.
