self constituted jury, determined to convict or
acquit the prisoner on the evidence.
General Grants inability to sleep comes not SO
much from condition of the body as from unrest
of the mind. He has it firmly rooted that he is
going out in disgrace and under cloud, and
all that his friends can say to him in no wise
changes this belief. He talks very freely with
certain of his intimates on the subject and he
tells them of his modification and chagrin that
he should have been duped by Ward and that
so many persons should have lost money by him.
He thoroughly understands, and indeed it is the
truth, that Ward used the name of Grant to
carry on his schemes and that many persons
were led into them because they had confidence
in Grant And so Grant, with fatal disease
upon him, and conscious that his end is at hand,
rests with wakeful eyes. day in and day
out. and thinks, thinks, thinks He
tells his dearest friends that the response
biites of battle and of leading the armies of the
Nation gave him no such concern as has this Ward
business; that rest in the White House in the
critical period when the country was recovering
from the effects of civil war, was sweet COM
pared to the rest that has come to him in the
last nine months. He had hoped that fortune
might in some manner smile on him, so that he
might return to those who have lost, the money
thus wasted. He would write, he would work,
he would do anything to remove this pain from
the family. But he was attacked by disease that
must prove fatal and soon he became too weak
and too sick to stir out of the house. So he silently
and grimly, and without word of complaint,
keeps to his couch and to his easy chair
and thinks. He mourns because he can
not make restitution, end because he is
helpless 1t preys upon him so that he cannot
sleep. He knows that he must die soon, and he
is oppressed with the thought that he is in dis
grace because of the failure of the firm Of Grant

WASHINGTON. March 2l z-'If the new admin
istration wants some stable cleaning to occupy
it's time it might begin with the fe-room of the
Treasury" said an employe of that department
to-day. Twenty years or more ago Secretary
Chase issued an order which compelled every
clerk to make out a monthly report of his work.
These were to be presented to the chief of bis
division and by him synopsized and trans
mitted to the Secretary. The order re-
manned in force for some time and is in
fact, on the books still. The result was that tons
of these reports are still corded up in the fle-
room. The whole batch is absolutely useless
and in the way. 1t is litter os the most trouble
some kind, and should be removed at once"

tanned for the Present and
Other Claims Rejected.

The news that the present struggle for
the postofice has been settled by the
decision to leave the present postmaster,
Phil Armour, In possession of the office,
causes much satisfaction among business
men of both parties. The fight between
Wells Cook and Tom Bowman has got to
be q bitter one, Bowman being said to
have gone so far as TO attack the personal
reputation of Mr.. Cook, in his despera.
tion. When 1t thus became a con.
test ss to which could say the
meanest things of the other, the
authorities at Washington promptly
decided that 1t was best to let the pres
ent postmaster remain, there being NO
just cause for his removal. 1t is con-
coded that Armour has done more for
the service, and to better the Office, than
sny one who has ever held the position,
and having been connected with the
postofice business ever since boyhood,
1t will be hard work to find a successor
who can do as well with the office as he.
The decision to let matters remain as at
present Is caused, evidently, from the
difficulty the authorities have In deciding
the quarrel between the two aspirants,
rather than any particular love for Ar
mour, but the business men will be salts.
