Maxwell, inc man who murder cd Prcller, his travelling compan- ion, in the Southern Hotel in st.
 Louis, some weeks ago, was head cd off by telegraph and arrested at Auckland, New Zcalaua. The dis tance by rail from St. I19gis to San Francisco is 5000 miles. The great occan.tradc route from San Fran cisco to Auckland is by way of Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. The distance on an air line from San Francisco to Honolulu is 2SS0 miles, and from Honolulu to Auck land 3Sl5 milcs-total distance from San Francisco 10 Auckland, GG95 miles. From St. Louis to Auckland, 10,295 miles. A steam ship running at the speed of 26S miles a day--a little over eleven miles an hour-can, without hind rance, make the distance from San Francisco to Auckland in twenty five days. The ship that carried the agent of the United States ap- pointed by the President to go af- ter Maxwell sailed from San Fran cisco on the 7th inst, and has not yet reached Auckland This is the longest distance an agent of our government was ever sent in pur- suit of a criminal. The telegraphic dispatch sent to intercept Maxwell had to be transmitted alm ost all around the earth and cost three dol ars and ,eightyive cents a word. Melbourne, Australia, is 1909 miles beyond the city of Auckland; and the distance from Melbourne to Liverpool, England, is l3,5O0 miles. The steamship time from Mel. bourne to Liverpool is from seven ty-Gye 10 one hundred days.

Stand the Clos ar to Him.

ltseems to be the subject of comment where the candidates for Congress have been on the public canvass that 1t is the field against McRae. We understand it is ap- parent that MT. McRae's competi- tors correctly estimate his supe- rior strength before the people, and plainly sec that they must dive him from the contest before there can be any chance for either of them. From the best inforna- ton we can obtain it seems to be their plan to first crush him out by a combined effort, and then com pete a1ong themselves for tn . prize, with some show of one of them winning it.
 Now, if the spontaneous eXpres- slons of the people denote their sentiments, there can be no doubt that Mr. MeRae is the choice of the Democracy of the dietrict; and this being true his nomination ought not 10 be prevented by any sort of co operation on the part of the weaker candidates. Knowing this to he the plan of his competitcs, all Democrats throughout the dis triet who wish to see fair play iu the contest, and especially those who prefer MT. McRae, should go to work with renewed energy tC make his nomination sure. He is seeking it alone upon his merits He has not, and will not, cooper. ate with, CT combine against, any other candidate; and his friends take the high ground that he is tht most capable and best fitted man for the position.

Life and Health to He.

Some seven or eight years ago my right thigh was covered by a skin eruption, causing intense itching. In q short time it extend ed down the entire leg, which be, came intlamed and finally broke out m small sores between the knee and ankle. Swelling of the limb ensued, and l could not walk or put my foot 10 the ground. The pain ran me almost distracted, tested the medical profession thor oughly, having tried all the sys- temS. Some of them brought me temporary relief. paid out hun drcds of dollars hut found no per mlnent benefit, The whole pois- on seemed 10 concentrate in an ulcer near my ankle, some threo inches in length, and the rcmcdies used, being largely mineral, did not seem to reach tue source of disease at all, For three years I was unable to do anything. The ulcer had already eaten down to the bone. Two of the physicians recommended amputation of the limb as the only means of preScgy- ing life. l was almost in dispair when friend suggested 10 me to try Switt's Specific. l hcSitated but finally secured six bottles. The effect of the tlIst bottle was to stop the eating process, and the six bottles made a permanent cure of a disease that had ballled the best medical skill in the coun- try. My case is well known in Gaiuesville.-the desperate char acter of the disease as well sS the wonderful cure effected, There are no signs of a return of the dis ease. l am in better health today than l was before was taken with the disease. l weigh forty pounds more than l ever weighed before in my life. Swift's Specific has proved both lite and health to me. and l never can be grateful enough for the benefits which l received from it's use.

SPEAKING of reform: We are not aware that Secretary of the | Treasury Daniel Manning has ever masqueradcd as a reformcr after the style of the demagogue, but it is fast becoming manifest to the country that he knows what true reform is, and has the nerve and the executive ability to practice it 1. to the very last degree compatible with efficient public service. l. is asserted in Washington that he has already stricken. enough use less names from the pay roll ofthe Treasury Department to make a saving more than sufficient to pay the salaries of the President and all inc cabinet ministers. This has no reference to the removal of en- ployes whose places have been, or will be, filled by new appointees. It refers only to the pruning out of the Department, the cutting off of useless employes-elerks, messen. gers, special agents, and the like for whom there was no need, and whose services have been dispen- sed with, and their places abolish cd, without detriment to the public service. He has discharged from the treasury building alone, with out substitution, 130 employees, whose average per diem was Si-a saving of s520 day, or SlS9, 800 a year. This is another one of the distinguishing features between a Democratic administration and a Republican administration.

IT should not escape the atten- ton of the public that in the short space of three months and a half Commissioner of the General Land Office Sparks, encouraged and sup ported by Secretary of the Interior Lamar and Attorney.General Gar land, has gotten in some beautiful work on the land grabbcrS of whom we have read so much in the past twenty years. OF what l8 known as the Maxwell Syndicate grant in New Mexico Mr. Sparks has cancelled the entry of 1,500, GOO acres, on the ground that the survey and grant of the same were bare-faccd frauds. He has also ia like manner, and upon tie same ground, cancelled 500.000 acres of the celebrated "Backboue Rail. way Land Grant, Tn Louisiana. Thus at twostrokes,2 ,090,G00 acres, of which the government had been 1 plundered under Republican rule, have been restored to the public domain and made subject to pur- chase or homestead entry by act nal settlers. These are of the kind of acts that distinguish a Democrat ic administration from a Repu5li- can administration.

To Weigh Letters.

Since the adoption of the new rule
allowing letters weighing an ounce to
be mailed for two cents, there has
been much puzzling over an every
day method to determine the weight
of letters. A standard silver dollar
gives the weight within fraction.
Improvise some means TO balance
your letter against the dollar and
you have the ounce weight. If the
dollar piece is not at hane, two silver
half-dollar pieces will answer the
same purpose.
