"Ycs, the principal topic of conversation
here at present is the probable action of the
incoming administration"
The speaker was Mr.. William NJ. Ashley,
of 506 Maine avenue. a man whose large and
intimate acquaintance with prominent public
men here in Washington, renders his opinion
of unusual weight.
"The all important question among the
clerks of the various departments is, who is
to go. In my opinion there will be very few
changes among the old-time employees who
have been here year in and year out through
several administrations. The removals will
occur among the heads Of departments"
Tho sense of mistrust which must neces-
sarily pervade the departments, is, / suppose,
detrimental to the proper transaction of bust
nessg'
"Well, rather, l reckon. 1t units the
clerks for business. Some get very blue, for
they have purchased little homes which they
must sacrifice
u" Last summer it was reported that many
were ill of malaria. How is itf'
More likely, ill of a fear of change. don't
think Washington is so very malarious. At
the same time | admit that since residing here
| have not always felt first-rate. At times l
have been greatly troubled with sharp-shoot-
ing pains. One day my right arm and leg
would torture me with pain. There would
be great redness, heat and swelling of the
parts, and perhaps the next day the left arm
and leg would be similarly effected. Then
again it would locate in some particular part
Of my body and produce a tenderness which
would well nigh drive me frantic. There
would be weeks at a timet that l would be
afflicted with an intermitting kind of pain
that would come on every afternoon and leave
me comparatively free from suffering during
the balance of the twenty-four hours
"Of course you consulted the doctors re-
garding your difaculty.n
Consulted them! Well, Ishould say | did.
Some told me l had neuralgia; others that l
had inflammatory rheumatism, for which
there was no cure"
But didn't they try to relieve your
miseriesg'
YES, they vomited and physiced me,
blistered and bled me, plastered and oiled me,
sweat, steamed and everything but froze me,
but without avail"
but how did you finally recover?n
g had a friend living in Michigan who had
been afflicted in a similar way and had been
cured. He wrote me regarding his recovery
and advised me to try the remedy which
cured him. | procured n bottle and COM
menced its use, taking a tablespoonful after
each meal and at bed time. l had used it
about a week when | noticed a decrease of
the soreness of the joints and general feeling
of relief. ! persevered in its use and finally
got so l could move around without limping,
when | told my friends that it was Warmers
safe rheumatic cure that had put me on my
feet"
And do you regard your cure as per-
manentf'
"This was more than a year ago, the
trouble has not returned and | haven't been
so well in years as | am now"
"Speaking of President-elect Cleveland,
who, in your opinion will comprise his
cabinetI'
"That is as difficult to determine as it is to
say what Office holders will go. Many good
men have been named for northumberland
Thurman, Bragg, Mcclellan, not to mention
a lot of lesser lights. Every prominent poll
tician has a slate made up which he is back
ing to win, but then, as is always the case,
some one will get left "
