a Test Case.

Pearson. Postmaster of the city Of New
York, is rapidly becoming one OF the
best known men of the country.
month agovery few people outside OIL Ne"
York bad ever heard of Pearson. M1thln
the last few days, however, the "ho1e
country has been informed that PEARSON
is a most excellent Postmaster, and that
a great wrong will be done the greatest
commercial city of the Republic II ne is
not TeappOinted.
1t is astonishing what hub-bub is
made over Pearson. The RepuOlcah
journals say that II he is not retained IN
/ office there will be no ground upon which
10 base a hope that the administration
will comply with the spirit of the civil
service reform law. There are a few
Democratic papers which think that the
President couldn't do better than to re-
appoint Pearson.
The Mugwumps are particularly active
in Pearson's interest. They contend that
his reappointment would be an acknowl-
edgment that they contributed a great
/ deal to President Cleveland's election.
1t doesn't appear very clearly how Pear
=
1 help Of the Mugwumps III the Presiden-
tiaI contest is appreciated. Pearson
/ wasn't Mugwump. lie was probably
\ as much of a BlGine man as he dared TO
/ be. and if the truth were known it would
/ anne, T. doubtless. that he contributed a
good part of his salary to the Republican
/ campaign fund.
Pearson's term expires on March 2l.
The uesrness of the time when his sue
cessor must be chosen is one of the rea-
sons why so much fuss is now being
made about him. The Presidents action
in this case may be the keynote OF his
programme with regard TO the offices, and
it is pretty generally understood that the
line he starts on he will be apt to stick to
! throughout his entire term.
Nobody denies that Pearson is most
I excellent official, or that he reached his
present position through the various
eradations Of the Office Of which be Is now
the head. 1t is admitted that if the civil
service is to be applied outside of the
offices which are covered by the civil SER
/ vice law there will be no better chance to
apply it than viii be presented when
Pearson's term expires. If, therefore,
Pearson is reappOinted, the opinion will
be very generally entertained that Repub-
licans who have administered the affairs
OF their offices satisfactorily, and have
not made themselves extensively conspicu-
Gus in politics, will be permitted to finish
their terms. If Pearson is replaced by a
Democrat, it will be safe to assume not
only that no Republicans will be reap
pointed, but that the Republican officials
will be required to make room gradually
for Democrats before their terms expire.
There is no use, of course, in discussing
the question relative to the eminent fit
ness of Pearson for the place which be
holds. There are hundreds of Democrats
/ who could give just as much satisfaction
in Pearson's place as Pearson gives. liza
| Democrat is not appointed to succeed him
it is certain that there will be very gen.
| eral dissatisfaction among the Democrats.
Pearson's case will be something OF test
/ case

Miraculous Cures.

Tue readiness with which people per-
nit themselves to be humbugged is some
thing that cannot lie easily understood.
There are always plenty Of people who
are ready to believe in that which they
cannot comprehend, and to experiment
with that Of which they know nothing
whatever. The amount Of patent medi-
ciues that is swallowed every year in this
country is something marvellous. Thou
sands of people who think they are sick
Will be guided by a patent medicine
advertisement rather than by reputable
physician, and Will spend hundreds Of
dollars for stuff that does them no good.
4 physician who has qualified himself
thoroughly to practice medicine has to
wait for years before he is able to earn
respectable income, while a quack who
has a smooth tongue and an elastic con-
science generally succeeds in gaining the
confidence of the public at once.
4 few months ago a French or Spanish
woman attracted a great deal of attention
in this city by alleged cures of various
diseases. She drove fine team and made
money by selling a preparation which
was recommended for about every known
disease. Thousands purchased her medi-
cine, but if any cures were effected they
were not generally heard of. There were
some crippIes who thought that they re-
ceiyed some benefit from the wOman's
treatment but 1t was generally under
stood that they finally concluded that they
were mistaken.
4 couple Of weeks ago a woman an
swering the description of the one who
was here, was reported to be IN Augusta
making the blind see, the deaf hear and
the lame walk. Her chief attraction
there, as here, was reported to be her
ability to pull teeth without pain. The
same woman is now announced as effect
ing miraculous cures in Macon, and so
wonderful is she considered there that the
New York Tribune has a telegram from
Macon giving an account of her work. If
the people who patronize her are satisfied
there is no particular occasion for out
siders to complain. In a case of this kind
experience may be better than advice.

The Governor has advertised for bids

scarcely necessary TO call attention 10 the
healthy financial condition Of the State.
The resources Of Georgia are ample to
form the basis OF the excellent credit she
possesses. The constitutional provisions
touching the public debt are such as to
cive confidence to the holders OF her Sc
curItics. and il is well known that the
policy OF the Stale is to steadily decrease
the public debt without imposing an un-
necessary burden OF taxation on the peO-
pie. The bonded debt Of Georgia in 1877
was SI0,648,500. Since that time 81, 939, $50
has been paid, leaving the present debt
only SS,104.6S5. The value Of the taxable
property Of the State has increased

The Maryland Court Of Appeals has
rendered a decision to the effect that the
keeping of pool rooms for the sale OF
tickets on horse races is not a violation of
law in that State. The law under which
the booksellers were prosecuted provides
that ''all games, devices and cOntrivances
at which money or any other
thing shall be bet or wagered
shall be deemed a gaming table,"
The decision is being criticised rather
severely by those who are opposed to all
kinds of betting, but on a careful ex-
animation the decision appears to be in
accordance with the principles of legal
construction. If the Marylanders really
want to prohibit betting on horse races
they Will have to pass a new law on the
subject,

Tho Mexican Mission.

Gen. Henry r. jackson is mentioned
in connection with the Mexican mission.
No better appointment could be made,
and no ADLER man could be chosen to fill
the place. Gen. Jackson, besides being
one OF the most distinguished lawyers of
tine country, has filled number of places
of honor and trust. He was Colonel in
the Mexican war and Major General
in the civil war. He was a Circuit
Judge when quite young man, and
Minister to Austria before he had reached
middle life. He is a ripe scholar and a
man of liberal and progressive views. He
is certainly we'll qualified to promote
friendly and commercial relations be-
tween this country and Mexico.
