As Vice. President Hendricks has no patron
age to speak of at his control, has no vote in
the Senate, except in case of tie, aud no
right to speak, the social field is the only one
open to him in which to cut much of figure.
AS President Cleveland is disposed to do as
little as possible in that line, aud the Vice
President and his wife are both popular, the
genial old gentleman will have plenty of OPP
portunity to enjoy himself. boston Herald.

The sincerity Of President Cleveland's civ
II service convictions will have pretty good
test In the matter OF the New York city post
mastership. Mr.. Parsons administration
OF that office has been wonderfully efficient,
as we'll as entirely free from anything that
even savored Of partisanship and machine
management. The Republicans OF the city
and all the business interests will protest
against a change, and the question will be
whether the President will oountonance any
pressure for one.

Those cabinet officers who fingered too

occasion to repent it. Their doors were be-
seged with callers, and they we're stopped
on the street and at the doors of the depart
ments until the delay threatened to keep
them from iheic offices altogether. It was
after 10 o'clock when Secretary BAyard got
safely in his office. Secretary Whitney got
in at 10, and the secretary of war but quar-
ter of an hour earlier. None had any chance
at their mornings mail, having to give them
selves up to callers from the moment OF their
arrival until the hour for cabinet meeting.

Thinning Out a lille.


The number of office seekers is thinning
out, but they are very mad and want to know
whether this is a Democratic or Mugwump
administration Among the non-ofice- hold.
ing people the impression is favorable at the
way Cleveland has started out. This senti-
ment is voiced by a number of Republican
senators who say that he is certainly acting
with more prudence and moderation than
they expected. Very few men are here from
New England, 80 few that their absence is
noticed. It is the West and Southwest
which are pressing, while the Atlantic states
are standing back Cleveland hates the
crowd but receives in the best of humor un-
til the subject Of Office is preached, then he
grows impatient He talked politics with his
cabinet to-day, shook hands with a lot Of pro-
miscuous callers and heard patiently a crowd
of Louisiana workers tell what they had done
to elect him. Then he talked with some col
ored ministers, and told them that he pro-
posed to look out for their race as we'll as any
of his predecessors have done. Mr.. Cleve-
land says that he proposes to treat the ne.
groes just as he would any other class, Civ
ing them what they deserve aud nothing
more.

that there should be an adjournment unless

that nominations were TO come. few min

to be Assistant Secretary of the Interior came
in, when Morrill,, TO the amusement of both
Democrats and Republicans, moved an exec

Health Monthly. DR.. .Foote, ST., is In
Salt Lake City for the purpose of show
ing that the only DR.. Foote, Jr., or Dr..
Foot, Jr., entitled to that designation,
who has made himself conspicuous as q
practitioner or writer, is his son. DR.. e.
B. Foote, Jr., who has never visited
Utah or the great west, nor practiced
medicine outside of New York, " here
he has been associated with his father
for the past ten years. Anyone using
the name must show some reason that
entities him to do so, or his pretensions
will be challenged. Any one who fraud
ulentIy and with intent to deceive, uses
a, name which does not belong to him,
can hardly be relied upon as a safe
counsellor when health and life are at
stake.
The readers of DR.. Foote's works, all
patients who have consulted HIM by
letter, and the sick generally, are in
Yited to call. No charge for cOnsuIta-
ton in person or by mail.
DR.. Foote'S visit will be brought to a
close as soon as the object which
brought him here is accomplished.
This unavoidable uncertainty renders
1t expedient that those who wish TO
avail themselves of this opportunity of
consulting the Doctor, without Incur
ring the expense of a visit to New York,
should do SO without delay.

Reciprocity in Trade.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2O.-In the Ma
tional Commercial Convention, Bur
wells paper on reciprocity in trade ere
ated lively debate, which was re-
newed with vigor on reconvening in the
afternoon. Mr.. Hirt, of Virginia, and
Mr.. Vinton, of Indiana, OPP
posed reciprocity treaties, on
the ground that they fostered
speculation and individual interests.
Mr.. McClurg, of Ohio, said there was no
such thing as raw material. neither was
there over-production. Reciprocity
treaties ought to be avoided, because
they cripple natural trade. Mr.. VOienff,
of Kentucky, said that England, having
failed at reciprocity, was now
trying conquest, as witness the
wars in Egypt, which were
all to conquer trade, and to
impose English goods upon those who
would not otherwise have them, and
Germany is resorting to conquest and
protection. We are trying to get other
nations to take our goods without our
accepting any of theirs in ex-
change which, of course, keeps
our goods at home and gives rise to the
cry OF "over-production." The subject
was here dropped and the question con-
sidered, ''Does the public interest re-
quire the enactment by Con-
gress of a uniform bankrupt lawP"
The vote resulted 263 ayes. nays 153.
s. Dana Horton, of Ohio, delegate of
the United States to the international
monetary conference of 1878 and 1881,
next sustained the affirmative of the re-
solution looking to the stoppage of the
coinage Of silver.
Hankey, of Colorado,i took issue with
Horton, not as to principles, but as to
methods He spoke on the subject for
half an hour and the convention took
recess.
In the evening session, G. G. Sims,
member of Congress for Colorado, took
up the discussion as to the
suspension of the silver coinage, which
he opposed. The convention here sus-
pended further discussion on the silver
question to hear General John B. Cor
don discuss the subject, docs the pub
lie interest require national control
of railway transportation ?"

thought he has been instructed to place

1t is also thought thai he is here to
explain the exact situation of affairs in

future actions, his original mission
being merely to suppress the half-breedf
rebellion and to relieve the beleagured
places, no Indian massacreS having

Out of Tune

When the tones of a musical instru-
ment become harsh and discordant, we
say it is ''out of tune" The same may
be said of that far more wonderful and
complicated piece of mechanism, the
human structure, when it becomes
disordered. Not only actual disease,
but those far more common causes,
overwork, mental anxiety. and fast iv
ing, may impair its vigor and activity.
The best remedy for partial collapse
of the vital energies, from these as
from other sources, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is at the same
time an agreeable and mind cheering
cordial. and the best possible invigorant
in all classes of debility. 1t is an IN
comparable stomachic and anti-bilious
medicine, eradicates fever and ague.
and prevents subsequent attacks. 1t
remedies with certainty and thorough
ness, bowel and kidney complaints,
dyspepsia, nervousness, rheumatic
troubles neuralgia, and many other
bodily ailments. 1t also counteracts
influences which predispose to disease.

Rohlf Recalled.

BERLIN, May 2O.-The Cologne Gazette
says: 1t is rumored that DR.. Rohlf
German agent in Zanzibar, has been re.
called. The reason given for the re-
call is said to be unsatisfactory manage
ment on his part, which resulted in the
recent occupation by 300 Zanzibar
troops, under command of General
Matthews, of the headquarter town of
the possessions of the German
East African Company, in Zanzibar,
possessions which the company claim
to have obtained by valid treaties with
the native chiefs. When Captain
Matthews made the seizure the company
protested and demonstrated to Berlin.
Prince Bismarck at once ordered DIR.
Rohlf to report on the matter His re-
port having reached Berlin. and been
found unsatisfactory, his recall, it is
said, was at once ordered.
