Fastening the Responsibility on
ConISiing.

It turns out, as there was reason TO sus-
pect, that the Coukling interview was not
so wholly unauthorized as MIR. Conkling
attempted to make the public believe. To
a correspondent in Washington, when his
attention was called to the interview, he
is reported 10 nave said; Il wish that
some law could be passed to enable
man who is trying to go along and after
to his own business to keep the newspa-
pers from printing either what he does
not say or else garbling mis- words so that
he would hardly know them himself.
This interview was not at all authorized
by me-"
lie was apparently very indignant that
he had been represented as talking about
political matters, and sill more indignant
that his remarks had found their way
into print; but, after all, did ne not really
want them printed In explanation Of
the interview the New York Siia, which
printed il, says: This interview was
brought to us by Mr.. Amos f. Learned, a
well-known journalist, formerly the agent
in this town Of the New York Associated
Press and the New England Associated
Press, Republican all his life. Jealous
friend and admirer of Mr.. Conkling, who.
as We know, has enjoyed opportunities Of
intimacy with him. AS be vouched for
the truth and accuracy Of his converse
tion with Mr.. Conkling, we entertained
no suspicion upon the subject" 11
The New York Mail and Express, speak
ing Of the interview, says: mr.. Amos
f. Learned, who wrote the interview with
Mr.. Conkling, says the ex-senator did
utter every word attrib uted to him, that
it was given to him in Mr.. Conkling's
own office, and there was no Injunction
to secrecy, Mr. Conkling telling Mr..
Learned to use his own judgment when
Mr.. Learned spoke to him with reference
to the publication of the matter" All
this seems to indicate that Mr.. Conkling
knew that the interview was to be pub
lshed, and his establishment and appar-
ent anger when it was published were
simply assumed for effect. 1t would have
been much more creditable 10 Mr.. Conk-
ling to have said nothing, because there
are very few. now that the circumstances
attending the publication of the interview
are known, who do not believe that Mr..
Conkling was rather anxious to have the
matter published if it could be done with
out making him responsible for it. There
are plenty OF men who would like to
damage those they dislike if they could
do so without mourning danger or re-
spOnsibiity.

AT MEETING of the farm animals the dude
once attempted to prove his relationship to
the jackass. "Why," he said, vainly, '.just
look at my ears! We must be nearly related -
True" returned the jackass, ''you may be a
degenerate mule, but though have often
heard men can you jackass, they nave never
yet insulted me by calling me duds." At
this speech the other animals burst into roars
Of laughter, and the crestfallen dude SUNK
silently away. Moral: This fable teaches us
that an ordinary mortal should not attempt
to claim the acquaintance of hotel clerk

Getting Rid OF the Offceseekers.

The President thinks that he has given
about enough time to the oficeseekers,
and does not propose to be bothered by
them after Nov. 1. The greater part Of
each day, since he became President, mas
been devoted to listening TO their stories,
and it is probable that he thinks that be
knows about all he wants to know about
them and their claims for recognition.
1t doesn't follow, however, that no more
Republicans will be invited to hand in
their designations after Nov. because
the oficeseekers will be shut out of the
White House after that date. 1t is prob
able that the President has all the infor-
nation that he wants about those who
are seeking places, and il he hasn't be
can easily obtain more from Senators and
Representatives. The Officeseekers who
haunt the White House, and annoy
the President day after day, are
not the men who generally receive
appointments. The most OF them are not
entitled to anything either because OF
their fitness or because of services rem
dered the party. AS rule the least meri-
torious are the most persistent, and doubt
less the regulation that is to go into effect
on NOV. is intended TO get rid of them.
The President has a theory that those
who are really fitted to fill the Offices
creditably do not hang around Washing
ton. They have occupation of some kind
and business keeps them home. 1t is
pretty safe to assume that those who re-
main at Washington for weeks and even
months seeking places, have not been able
to conduct any business for themselves
successfully, and therefore are not likely
to serve the government satisfactorily.
The time for the meeting OF Congress is
rapidly approaching and the President
has no more time to give to the Office
seekers. He has his message to write,
and if he has an ambition to produce an
able state paper he will have to give
good deal of time toit. Several important
questions will have to be handled, and
to handle them we'll they must be care
fully studied. Time enough probably has
been given to the oficeseekers, and the
termination Of the receptions for their
benefit will be pretty generally approved.

Gen. Beaver, the Pennsylvania Repub-
lican orator who has been doing mis-
sionary work In Ohio, seems to think that
sherman is almost, if not quite, dead
issue for 1883. In an interview with
Philadelphia Times reporter the other
day he said: 81 hear that sherman will
have trouble in being returned TO the
Senate, although the first thing / was
told out there was that the battle was be-
tween Sherman and Doodle, meaning
John Il. Mclean. still, as / went over
the State, found that sherman was UNI
popular with some Republicans In certain
sections. After the election | said 70
some Of the leading men OF Ohio that Sher-
nan should be a strong candidate for the
presidential nomination in 1888. l then
learned that IL would be- an impossibility
for sherman to secure united Ohio
delegation to a national convention. II
may be that with a narrow majority Of
three on JOINT ballot In the Legislature
sherman may have opposition enough TO
force a compromise on some other man."

None Buta French Canadian.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 13.-Bishop Hendricken arrived here yesterday to open the Church of Notre Dame de Lourdes which has been closed since February, the parish refusing to accept any but a French Canadian pastor. Last night deputation of parishion- CTS waited upon him to learn his plans. He told them he could take no action, the case being in the hands of Archbishop Williams of Boston and Bishop de Gesbriand of Bur lington. His visit was simply for the pur- pose of reopening the church and to minis
 to the spiritual wants of the parish, which he
 would attend to in person. Last night tive
 largely attended meetings of parishioners were held one composed of men, the other of women. Both decided unanimously not to attend church to-day and to accept none but French Canadian pastor. Only two hundred persons attended the 8. III. services. An orderly crowd of four hun dred or eight hundred gathered outside the church. Before the 10:30 mass somebody cut the bell rope so the bell could not be rung. There was an attendance of three hundred and fifty at this mass and a still bigger crowd than that outside. Rev Peter Ferron of the Providence cathedral read mass The parishioners fear that he is to be appointed pastor, but Bishop Hendricker saws not

ECZEMA Y!

For the benefit of suffering humanity deem it only my duty to give this unsolicited testimony in favor of Swift's Specific. My wife has been aff1ict- ed with Eczema from infancy. We tried every known remedy. but to no avail. She was also af- tiicted with periodical nervous headache. some times followed by intermittent fever, so that her life became burden to her. Finally determined to try Swift's. Specific. She commenced seven weeks ago. After taking the first large bottle the disease seemed to increase; the burning itching and inflammation became unbearable She. however, persevered in the use of the medicine. After talk ing the second bottle the inflammation began to subside After the third bottle the inflammation disappeared, and sore spots dried up and turned white and scaly and finally she brushed them off in an impalpable white powder resembling pure salt. She is now taking the sixth bottle; every appear ance of the disease gone and her flesh is soft and white as child's.e Her headaches have disappear ed and she enjoys the only good health she has known in 40 years No wonder she deems every bottle of S. S. s. is worth thousand times it's weight in gold.
 Any further information concerning her case will be cheerfuy given by herself at her residence, 13 Mullett street. or by me.

THE WIND CAME TOO LATE
And So the Yachts Went Home With out Making a Race The Ins1d

And So the Yachts Went Home With out Making a Race The Inside Course to be Sailed To-day.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The fourth failure to sal the yacht race yesterday was due to the fact that sufficient wind did not arise until 1t was too late to start the yachts and have them go over the course before dark It was o'clock before the judges concluded that the breeze was sufficiently strong to ad- init of a race and then the Genesta objected to start at so late an hour. A little before this the Puritan had come alongside the Luckenbach on which were the judges, and MT. Busk asked, "Are you thinking of try ing? 'Yes, seriously" said MT. Tams. EFWe won't get back till midnight said MT. Busk. After the call to start had been toot- ed the Genesta sailed close up to the Luck enbach and the following dialogue took place: Sir Richard Sutton-fsSouth is not a windward course" Mr. Tams-'FWhat is the matter with it2'' Mr. Beavor Webb "I understood we were not to start after 12 o'clock. It will be dark and we cannot fin ish." The Genesta then moved off, but presently came close by again, when Captain
 
 now, sir" MT. Tams-''We only called the start because we thought the breeze would freshen as you went along If you object will call it off for the day." 1T object to start" said Sir Richard Sutton, and Mr. Tams ordered the racing flag on the Lucken- bach hauled down and all was over In less than half an hour all the yachts except the Genesta, which had been taken in tow by the Luckenbach, were speeding homeward with a very good breeze their port quarters.
 The Luckenbach then steamed home, and off Tompkinsville the committee boarded the Genesta and had 8 consultation with Sir Richard Sutton and his friends Mr. Tams subsequently, announced that the inside race, over the course of the New York Yacht club, would be held tomorrow; the outside race on Tuesday, and the triangular race out side If it should be necessary on Wednesday. If the triangular race should not be neces- sary the race for the Commodore's cup will be sailed on that day

Hon. Emory A. Storrs was born in Hins dale, Cataraugus county, N. Y., Aug. 12 1885. His father, Alexander Storrs, who survives him. is well known attorney at law. The boy received good education and subsequently studied law with his father and Hon. M. B. Champlain, completing his studies at Buffalo, where he was ad- mitted to the bar at the age of 20 years He practiced in New York city for four years, when he removed to Chicago, where he had resided until his decease, and engaged in the practice of his profession. He soon became identified with the growth of the city, but refrained from holding any polite al office for some years, although thrice elected delegate at large to succeeding nation al Republican conventions In politics Mr. Storrs had always been a Republican, and when he did enter actively into the political field he became staunch supporter of that party. After the nomination of MT Gar field he took the stump and rendered bril- l liant services to his party. The ability displayed by MT. Storrs in the campaign attracted national attention, and 1 name was prominently mentioned, but he
 did not receive an appointment Previous to the Republiean convention last year MT. Storrs in the field for delegate at large. At the Peoria convention, to his and his friends surprise, he met with defeat. He was warm supporter of Senator Edmunds for the head of the ticket. The deceased was prominent at the bar and on the stump, and was ranked as the Demosthenes of the Hi nois bar He was always sought for an in | terview on the prospect of campaign, being ! regarded as an authority on political af fairs,
