the Emperor Hadrian's villa picture OF the

Quack Medicine for Indians.

An old steal was recalled Saturday at
Washington by discovery in the Indian Of
fee. One of the new officials found a large
number OF bottles containing a greasy com
pound, and his curiosity being naturally ex-
cited he began an Investigation and learned
that they we're a part of an invoice of 900
bottles of quack medicine that was bought
some years ago by Commissioner Smith for
the use of the Indians. An analysis shows
and cloves.
The bottles hold about one ounce. and did
not really cost more Than 5 cents piece, yet
the records of the office show that Smith paid
5000 for $1,000 bottles The medicine was
examined by Surgeon General Barnes and
condemned as absolutely worthless. A Con-
gressiOnal investigation was begun and de-
velOped the most revolving and obscene de-
tails, and the report was suppressed. The
matter was finally forgotten

CITY and County Drainage.

The necessity for draining the county
just south Of the city limits, TO which at
ton was called In the MORNING NEWS
Yesterday, has been considered, doubtless,
by the County Commissioners. The work
of draining that part OF the county would
have been begun doubtless, and, proba-
bly,, completed in the vicinity ipme-
diately south of the extended limits before
the recent rain storms had it not been for
the fact that the colored people had
planted small tracts Of low land in rice.
The loss Of the water would have de-
stroyed their crops, and the county would
have been asked to make good their
losses. This Is the reason that the section
ofthe county in question is still undrained.
There is also a considerable quantity of
land that needs drainage that is within
the city's boundaries. In order that the
drainage may be such as will drain not
only that part of the lOwlands within the
city as well as the part Just beyond the lin %
its there should be concert of action be-
tween the city and county authorities,
and the work should be under the joint
direction OF the City Surveyor and the
County Surveyor, one representing the
city and the other the county officers.
The convict force is large enough TO do
all the drainage within the city limits and
within the suburbs adjoining, before the
close of the coming winter. The work, how
yer, needs joint action, as suggested. Such
roads as Waters roads, now made danger
Gus by deep, open bitches, should have
covered bitches. This road, and others,
properly drained In this way, would not
require further attention for years.
The feyers OF malarial character
which have prevailed lately in the south
ern part Of the city are due, of course, to
the wet condition Of the ground. Such an
amount OF water fell during September,
andathe first part of October, that at no
time was there an opportunity for the
ground 10 become dry. II the drainage
were good there would not be ponds
Outstanding water, as there are in several
places in the suburbs. At the pres emit
time, doubtless, it would be Of great
benefit to reopen tho old drains that
formerly drained the lands west OF the
White Bluff road, and 70 dig a few bitches
east of that road. This work could be
done in u few days by the chain-gang.

the eminent boss is said to have had some
confidential chats with Gen. Butler dur

civil service reform probably has more to
do with the GOODNESS, if any exists, which

that Tammany will get all the Presiden-

the prophesies TO the effect that every little

of that town will become so engrOssed IN

adding to their bank accounts that they
will forget that their calling is the saliva

for these fears because Sunday is a

sherman's Schemes.

There seems TO be some doubt among
those who claim to have thorough I'M
Outstanding Of the political situation in
Ohio whether or not John Sherman is to
be reelected TO the Senate. 1t is said
that eX-Gov. Foster wants to go to the
Senate, and it is a question with Sher-
man, who is looking for the Presidential
nomination of his party in 1888, whether
he had not better let him go.
Sherman was Presidential candidate
in 1880. when GARFIELD, manly through
the efforts of Foster, carried off the prize,
and in 1884 he was a candidate again, but,
owing largely to Foster, ne was not able
to command the hearty aud undivided
support Of the delegation from his own
State. or course a man who isn't supported
by his own delegation has no ground for
expecting Presidential nomination.
This. doubtless, Sherman 1ully under
stands. The question, then, which pre-
sents itself to him, is this: Will it not be
a wiser plan for him to step aside and let
Foster 20 to the Senate, and thus secure
the enthusiastic support OF the Ohio dele
cation in 1883 than it will be to take the
oenatOrsnlp ana run the FISK OF having d
divided delegation in the next national
convention? 1t is thought that he would
like to have the senatorship so as to keep
himself before the public, and that be is
willing to pledge himself to do all he can
to secure Fosters election to the Senate
in the event that he himself gets the Presi-
dental nomination. 1t is not certain, how
ever, that Foster would be satisfied with
an arrangement Of that kind.
1t is very clear that Sherman intends to
make one more great effort to reach the
Presidency. 1t Is probable that he will
have only one more chance. He is getting
along in years, and unless he has more
than ordinary vitality he will be about
ready to retire to private life at the end OF
another presidential campaign. 8h
