MINOR MATTERS.
A Man Who Was Not Reported for Retention,
but Who VIII Probably Stick.

Man Who Was Not Reported for Retention,
but Who VIII Probably Stick.
Special to the Indianapolis Journai.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Among the list of
consuls recently reported for retention.the name
Of NJ W. Twitchell did not appear, but it is
quite probable that Mr.. Twitchell will remain
at his post. He is one of the few men who,
during the late war; lost both arms in defense
of his country, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the present administration has no particu-
lar love for Union soldiers, it is hardly probable
that one whose gallantry is so we'll defined will
be removed for partisan reasons Twitchell
is the consul at Kingston, Ontario,
and has been an excellent official.
The leading applicant for the place. who per
haps would get it if he would insist upon it. has
taken very manly course and has, it is said.
notified the Secretary Of State that he is not a
candidate against Twitchell, but that on the
other hand he will bring all the influence neces-
sary to bear to keep him in his place if the Sec
rotary shall intimate his desire to have 'infu-
ence" of this character. But Twitchell does not
require political backing to retain him if Secre-
tary Bayard's promises anything. He
has promised to improve the consular service.
He cannot do this by removing the best men in
it, and it is more than probable that Mr..
Twitchell will stay.

The Modern Editor.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The modern editor is generally one who owes
his place to his nose fer news" who keeps vigi
liant watch that the people may have the latest
news. The most noticeable trait OF the modern
editor is his habit Of condensation; he hates
spring poetry though he may have tender
heart for the poetess; fine writing plays havoc
with his nerves, and the most news in the fewest
words gaddens him exceedingly.

The Mexican Treaty.
Washington Special.

"
Friends of the Mexican treaty do not think
that the fact that the State Department to-day
consented to extend the time for the passage of
the Mexican treaty enabling act until May 20,
1885, indicates that the administration is dis
posed to approve of the passage of that act.
They are on the contrary, thinking that this
extension is simply act of courtesy to the
Mexican government, and that the Presidents
message will not approve of the treaty.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-It was stated in dip

made by Indiana Democratic politicians of the
manner in which the date in the transcript of
Charles Foerster's naturalization papers, filed
at the State Department, makes it appear that
he did not become an American citizen until
after he was appointed counsel to Elberfed,
Germany, was not satisfactory to the officials,
and that documentary proof that everything is
right will be demanded. Action in the matter
has been deferred until ex-senator Mcdonald

ce-Holders from the Sixth District
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 22.-Some Democratic
Office seekers here from the Sixth Indiana con
gressional district have adopted a peculiar line
of argument for their own recognition by the
administration. They say there are fifteen Re-
publicans from the district in the departments
here, with salaries ranging from 81 400 to S. 500
year, and no Democrats. No disposition of
these office-hoders is suggested, as they cannot
be relieved under the cvl-service law, all being
efficient and not extensively partisan; yet list
of them is being hawked about, and the fact of
their having positions is constantly referred TO-,
as if it made difference to any except those
wanting to get in.

Very seldom do we read of an actual

tiers persons talking to their friends of q

"William Lincoln Curtis is the name
of the young man in question. He is now

ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with a violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, Of a cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into a
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
"He gradually grew worse, and in a few
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out Of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
d~eteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the sembIance of

possible condition., and his suferings were OF
such An indiscribable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would b
