access 10 the lists Of appointments and

Postmaster General was obliged to issue
an order forbidding clerks to expose such
papers 10 those who came without
special authority from the head of a

GENTLEMEN - In your case they

ion OF Collector Sturgeon, and hold that all
your preparations may be sold as medi-
eines without the payment Of special
taxes.
Your preparations will in nv opinion.
gain stronger foothold than ever before,
as they can in good faith be sold as medi-
cines, and will under the rulings crowd
out other less valuable preparations and
will have this advantage: the Commission
er now has confidence in them, and / am
satisfied he will not allow any petty annoy
ances concerning them. Y
You should emphasize in your advertise
ments that your preparations are manu-
featured as medicines, advertised as medi-
cines, and sold as medicines. and used as
medicines, and highly endorsed by the
medical profession as valuable medicines

the 18th day of December, 1868 On
that date the President issued procla-
nation of universal amnesty and pardon,
which included all who had not received

Turn the Rascals Out.

Secretary WHITNEY has written the
following letter to Com. JOHN H. Rus
Sci, commander of the Mare Island
navy yard, relative to the coercing of
the vote of that yard by foremen at past
elections:
''Since assuming the duties Of this Office
my attention has been called to the con-
duct OF the foremen OF the Mare Island
navy yard IN elections in past years. par
ticulariy IN 1882. After reading the testi-
mony in the contested election case OF
Buck VS.. Dudley, taken in the fall of 1888.
there Is no doubt in nv mind that the vote
OF the yard was practically coerced and
controlled by the foremen, either with or
without orders
The men were obliged to take their bal
lots in folded form from a table presided
over by one or more of the foremen. hold
the ballot in sight while walking to the
polls. 100 feet distant, between men sta
toned Tor the purpose of preventing anv
change of ballots on their part. and the
ballots deposited without the voter having
had the opportunity 10 see or know its
contents or TO exercise any cboice for
whom he should cast his ballot. T find
that the same foremen who conducted this
proceeding are still at the yard in the
various departments. Great complaint i
made to me OF similar proceedings in other
yards, but | have already read sufficient of
this sworn testimony to satisfy me that tue
men who were engaged in that proceeding
as foremen directing and controlling Il
should be cleaned out of the yard in the
interest Of decent government, and il anv
similar proceeding or anything like it. or
any attempt to coerce the vote of the en-
Iloyes of the yard by foremen or superior
officers should take place hereafter, wheth-
er in the interest of the dominant party or
otherwise. | will apply similar remedy.
Appointments in place OF the person dis
charged will be made temporarily and
upon trial until efficient men shall have
been obtained.
In this connection / desire to say that
the bureau officers here complain greatly
of the delays and the extraordinary ex-
pense required to do work at the Mare
Island navy yard. ask your special at
tention to these matters in the hope that
you will cooperate with me in an effort "a
bring the yard to greater efficiency and to
eliminate these objectionable features from
