GOVERNMENT CLERKS IN WASH.
INGTON.


It is learned that the clerks in the
departments at Washington feel con-
siderably relieved since the appear.
ance of Cleveland's civil service letter.
If the policy declared by the incoming
President be faithfully and honestly
carried out fin relation to removals
and retention in Office, it is believed no
serious changes may be expected.
There are enough loopholes in Cleve-
lands letter, which he might make
available in turning out whole regi-
ments of government employees, if he
were disposed to take advantage of
them, but better things are hoped for
from him.
Wisconsin has quite list of clerks
in the different offices at Washington:
these are in the Treasury, Internal
Revenue and Post Office departments.
The whole number of Wisconsin en-
ployees in these offices is eighty-one.
About one-third of this number are
women. The salaries of these latter
range from $3.50 to 81, 400; that of the
men from $3.50 to $500. In addition
to the above, there are several from
Wisconsin holding we'll paid clerkships
in the Senate COMMITTEES; over these
no appointing power outside the SEN
ate has any control.

A NEW ORDER IN THE EPISCO.
PAL THURCH

A new order has taken form in the
Episcopal church under the sanction of
Bishop Potter, Of New York, called
the Holy Cross. The person joining
takes the VOW of "celibacy, poverty
and obedience" The New York pa
pers have various comments on the
new order, some regarding it a step
Romeward; others see no objection.
A son of Bishop Huntington took upon
himself the solemn VOW of the Holy
Cross at which five clergymen were in
attendance; the ceremony was not
public.

Ogden II. Fethers name was suggest
ed warmly by leading paper Of the
State for the u. S.. Senatorship. Mr..
Fethers, however, promptly declined to
have his name used in that connection.
In view of his services and great
ability the suggestion of his name is
not to be wondered at Whitet00ter
Register.
Does our much esteemed friend, the
editor of the Register, refer to the SER
rices of Mr.. Fethers in taking the
stump to defeat the Republican candi-
date for Congress IN this district in
1882?

The papers of Florida speak of the
orange glut.' The crop of Florida has
been the best ever raised, and the
North will be benefited by cheap
oranges of excellent quality. 1t is es-
timated that the crop Of 1884 exceeds
that OF 1883 by $4,000 boxes"
The largely increasing number of
investors in the business of growing
oranges in Florida has led many per-
sons to believe that the!business was be-
ing overdone and the trade would be
less profitable. That is not reason
able conclusion, The demand for
oranges extends over a vast area of
country; more than thirty states in
the Union do not produce any oranges !:
the Pacific States furnish only limit
cd supply for the market. Besides the
Canadas and British America can be
more easily supplied with this fruit
from Florida than from any other
country. Should Florida be converted
into one great orange plantation, the
market would not be over-stocked.

Ex-speaker Randall, member from
Pennsylvania, has been on political
tour South, addressing public meetings,
in favor of the protective policy. His
mission South gives the Democratic
free-trade wing of the party much UNI
easiness. MIR. Randall incurred the
displeaSure of the free-t trade Democrats
at the last session of Congress by help
ing the Republicans to defeat Morri-
sons fTee-trade bill. He was denounced
unsparlngly for not obeying the in
structionS of the Democratic caucus.
Mr., Randall has strong hold OF the
Democratic minority, who favor pro-
tective tariff; his recent mission South
developes the fact that free trade
doctrines are losing strength South and
that protection is growing in popular.
ity. The reasons for this change of
sentiment are apparent; manufac-
turing Industries are gradually being
established South, and wherever the
are introduced the policy of protection
is about sure to follow. 1t would be a
rare occurrence for a cotton or a WOOL
en- mill to be established under the
auspices of the advocates of free trade
men of capital do not care to invest
money to compete with pauper labor,
or, In milder words, with the poorly
paid operatives of Europe. Whatever
other changes may take place in our
system of the revenue laws, it is grow
ing more certain that protection of
American industries will not be aban-
doned, at least during the present GEN

Cleveland's letter in reply to George
William Curtis, President of the Ma
tional Civil Service League, is creating
stir among office-holders and Office
expectants. The former are lifting up
their heads and the latter are looking
rather downcast. The letter will pro-
woke some sharp criticism from Demo-
cratic office-hunters.

High license, which was enacted by
the Illinois legislature last year, now
after a years trial, is. in no danger of
being repeated. All the Republican
members of the present legislature are
known to be in favor of retaining the
law, and several Democrats who voted
for the law last year have been re-
elected.

men of inquiry are giving thought to
the movement, but classes in the Sun
day schools in various places have had
their attention turned to the study of
this hitherto but little known part of
the world. We learn that the Sunday
school children in one of the churches
in this city are collecting information
on this subject. A new and extensive
field for missionary effort and eduea-
tional advancement will be opened.
1t is quite as profitable for Sunday
scholars to study the movements e
the lettering of humanity, as to read
the class of literature generally put in
to their hands. Most readers have
probably heard of the European Con-
ference, which proposes to establish a
protectorate over a considerable por-
ton Of Africa; it includes a territory
stretching from the west coast across
the continent to the Indian ocean, with
coast range of 3s5 miles on the At
lantic side, and T80 miles on the In
dian ocean side. This territory, ex-
tending from ocean to ocean, will en-
brace region of mostly hitherto I'M
explored country. The project of
building a railroad across the African
continent. within the limits Of the ter
ritory mentioned, is already being agi-
tated. Military posts are to be estab-
lished at proper distances to ensure
the protection of all peaceably disposed
people. This grand enterprise is not
yet fully perfected in all of its details
but will ultimately be conSummated
as it appears to have the approval OF
enlightened nations.

STATEMENT OF MAYOR SIMMONS

Attention is invited to the statement
of Mayor Simmons. made before the
city council on Monday evening last
1t is full exhibit of financial affairs,
of long standing, and but imperfectly
understood by majority of the people
directly interested. The condition of
the city is now made clear, and prop
erty-holders comprehend where they
stand. That Mayor Simmons has done
the city good public service will be
conceded by fair-minded men. For
years citizens had been complaining
that nothing was being done to reliev g
the embarrasments resulting from an
uncertain amount of indebtedness in
numbering the property of the city.
Mr.. Simmons has done all that any
man could do, and his record is SUBJ
mitted to the judgement of an en-
lightened public.

The annual slip-renting in Plymouth
church, Brooklyn Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher's), took place on Tuesday last.
Much interest was felt in the result of
the bidding, as it would test the decline
of Mr.. Beecher's popularity in conse-
quence of his political course last fall.
The total amount realized was $27, 1855.
Last year the amount was $34,899,
showing a falling off of 1888.

POLISHING THE WRONG END

Many men daily polish their boots
who never give a thought to the con-
dition of their hair, except to harrow it
casually with brush and comb, or sub
NIT it to the paralyzing attentions of the
average barber. What happens? Why,
this: From neglect, mental anxiety, or
any of a score of causes, the hair turns
prematurely gray and begins to fall out
Parker's Hair Balsam will at once stop
the latter process and restore the original
color. An elegant dressing, free from
grease.

by DRS. STARKEY & PALEN, OF Philadelphia,
and being satisfied that it is a new discovery in
medical science, and all that is claimed for It.,
consider it duty which we owe to the many
thousands who are suffering from chronic and
so-called " ineurable" diseases to do all that we
can to make its virtues known and to inspire
the public with confidence.

competitor, Colonel Henry S. Lane Two
years later, in 1862, the Democrats OBJ
tanned majority in the Legislature. and
in recognition of Mr. Hendricks services
elected him United States Senator. His
service in the Senate covered the entire war
period, and although ON the minority side
OF the Chamber, he voted for the earnest
prosecution of the war. differing with the
Administration, however, on the question
OF conscription, rather favoring enlistment
and fair bounty. At the close of the war
he held that at no time had the States in
revolt been out of the Union, and were
therefore entitled to full representation in
Congress. He had moved, in 1850. to In
dianapolis, and in 1862 had formed a law
partnership with Mr.. Oscar B. Hord
which, in 1866, was extended TO a cousin
Colonel A. w. Hendricks, the firm being
known as Hendricks, Hord & Hendricks
AT the expiration of his term in the Sem
ate he returned home to rest, hoping to
quietly resume the practice of the profess
sion he loved but IN 1872 the Democrats
against his earnest protest nominated and
elected him Governor He was inaugu-
rated January -, 1873, and his administra-
ton of the Office called forth but little
criticism, it being acknowledged upon all
sides that it was able and honest In the
exciting political conflict of 1876, he vas
the nominee of his party for the Vice
Presidency, carrying his own State by over
5000 majority. Although he and his
party believed that Tilden and Hen
bricks were elected, the Electoral
Commission formed to decided the
question, decided that Hayes and
Wheeler were the men, in which decision
Mr.. Hendricks acquiesced, though doubt
ing its justice. In the summer of 1877.
Governor Hendricks, accompanied by his
wife, made a tour of Great Britain, Ger
many and France, and upon his return TO
America resumed the practice of law. Gov.
Hendricks married, in 1916, Miss Eliza C.
Morgan. who lived near Cincinnati. O..
and is the granddaughter of the late DR..
Stephen Wood, prominent citizen and
early settler of Hamilton county. They
have had one child, son, who lived to be
three years old. In 1884 he was nominated
for the Vice-Presdency, and III the fall of
that year was elected upon the ticket
headed by Grover Cleveland. He took the
oath of office in March, 1885. Since that
time he has not been in full harmony with
President Cleveland upon questions of
policy relating to the execution of the civil
service laws. But his conduct in that mat
ter has been open and above board, and
his expressions free and unreserved. His
death leaves the President pro tenn. of the
