THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE

The advantages arising both TO the
president and country at large from tho
proser co in the cabinet of experienced
statesmen and politicians, are strikingly
shown in the character of the consular
and diplomatic appointments that have
been made at Washington within the
past month.
ENDIcoTT, WHITNEY and Villas have
had but little to do, comparatively, with
politics, while Mr.. MANNINa's experI
ence and knowledge Of men, is confined
principally to New York. Their alb
sence for years past from Washington,
especially the legislative chambers and
circles there, has prevented that OK
tended and familiar acquaintance with
public men or officials that is enjoyed
| by LAMAR, GARLAND and BAYARD. Mr..
CLEVELAND himself knows next to
nothing Of the spocia! standing and
character of large majority of tho
members of tho senate and house of
representatives or woll-known pOliti-
clans of the different states. His selec-
ton of unknown men for various de-
partmental positions indicates unmis-
takably this fact.
II has been the custom from time I'M
memorial to select gentlemen for Office
from tho different states, upon the rec
ommendation of tho senators and con-
| ,r.,rg,,n, 90 thngo utotas 10 IL az ,,,n
ment, therefore, to the appointing
power to know tho character and stand.
ing Of tho men who recommend others
that the character and standing and
ability Of those recommended may be
known truthguly. The cabinet officer
on terms OF familiar acquaintance with
the members OF congress and senators
OF tho United States, knows whose rec
ommondstion 70 take aud, depend upon,
and viii in his appointments, on those
made upon his request, bo more apt TO
get good and able mon than VIII that
officer who knows neither the appli-
cant nor the man lrging and endorsing
him.
II Is from this tact chiefly that The re-
cont consular and diplomatic appoint
monts based largely upon Mr.. BAY
ARDS selections and recommendation,
have given such general satisfaction.
His large experience and acquaintance
with public men and public affairs has
been of service to him. The appoint
meats under the state department have
boen without exception, excellent and
heartily approved by the country at
larbe.
The selection Of such experienced
men, therefore, in the cabinet OF BAY
ARD. LAMAR and GARLAND, mon taken
fresh from the whirlpool of present &C.
tive, political and official life, was moi
only wise thing for the president tC
do, but Is another Illustration Of thai
good fortune which has been CLEvE

The Municipal Campaign at waco.

WACO, April Especial. Tonight
closes the most exciting and diligently
worked city CANVASS ever known in
Woco. The field is full Of candidates
for all municipal offices, and they have
put in their money freely. Every bar
room, hotel corridor and club-room is
crowded with strikers, wlre-pullers and
bummers tonight, and everything is
ready for the struggle tomorrow.
The chief interest centeTs in the con-
test for mayor. There are four candi-
dates: DR.. w. Ii. Wilkes, present incum-
bent; II. A. Sturgis, eX-mayor and one OF
the woalthiost citizens of the town; A.
Hinchman, dealer Ia agricultural imple-
ments, also q well-to-do man, and r. b.
Parrot, the well known manager Of the
Texas Benevolent association. The only
issue Is as to whit Their money for public
improvements shall be raised 10y issu-
ing and selling the bonds Of the city, or
by direct taxation. MessTs Sturgis and
Hinchman are violent anti-bOnd men;
Wilkes iaYors bonds after while, but
not now; Parrot is out and out f.!
bonds, If tho bond vote could he con
contracted on him, he would probably be
elected. 1t Is doubtful, though, if this
can be done, and TO night Sturgis seems
to lead the field in betting, with Wilkes
as second choice.
The race for city marshal is also g
close one. Luke Moore, who has held il
for three terms, is in the lead
but If he gets through il

THUS sayeth the New York Iribune:
1.-THE president is now left without re-
stralnt to do as he will TO the extent OF
his power under the law during the VA

was power conferred on the executive
bya Republican congress. 1t is not
very improbable that Mr.. CLEVELAND

have done had there been no senate In

Ladies sh ould reflect well before us
ing any preparation that is applied to so
delicate surface as the skin. Any
cosmetic willat first impart q heautify-
ing effect and not apparently injure the
skin, but in very short time little
blotches and discolorations appear on
the face which conclusively show the
poisonous drugs in their composition.
1t can be safely said that more than two
thirds of the face powders contain these
injurious ingredients. P0zzOni's medi-
Gated complexion powder is not only

ter, but its principal ingredient is an
