CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight in the back, 1oins and lower part Of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh,
boring organs. At times, symptoms OF indi.
gestion are present, fatuleney, uneasiness OF
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira-
tion, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, Is q common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tuniors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting permanent
cure. Price so cents Address, The DIR. Bo-

What Will Be Done With P0stmas'
ter Pears0n2

A New York dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, which willinterest the Democracy
everywhere, says:
Conservatism is already clapping its
hands over President Cleveland's course.
Outside of a few disgruntled politi-
clans of both parties, the general public
criticism of the incipient steps in
his administration is not only favorable, but
warmly 50. The great business interests
that halted in fear, with the thought that a
change Of administration meant only eX.
change of one set of thieves, gorgcd with
plunder, for another, hungry for spoilS, have
been disarmed at the outset.
Postmaster Pearson's Term
Expires tomorrow, yet no one in New York
will venture prediction as to what will be
done by the President. On the principle Of
predicting the unexpected from the new Ad-
ministration, which is the safest rule, Pear
son will not be reappointed. 1t is possible
the President has not yet made up
his mind, and may leave Pearson in
Office until he does. So much
significance has been given to this case
as one Of the decision of which will settle
the entire policy Of the administration that
the chances are against Pearson's reten-
ton. The President has certainly
shown no disposition as yet to appoint Re
publicaus to Office, though the general cur
rent of belief here is that he will retain Pear
SON. The question Of succession is what ere
ates thy pelplexity. Business interests must
be considered, ia ,tional quarrels must be
studied. In the last campaign the postofice
here was worked for all it was worth for the
Republicans. What refusal there was to
act in a partisan manner came from
Frank Hatton at Washington. Tom
James played his cards with
the Republican National Commit
tee so as to have Pearson retained if Blaine
was elected. Thisis inside history from high
Republican sources. Hatton was bitterly op
posed to Blaine, and, like other small mind
ed men, could not get over Arthurs de-
feat at Chicago. He expected to remain
for four years more and get rich. Blaine 8
