Your Liver Sanative has been worth a dollar
drop to me. After nine long years of indescriba-

your Sanative; am today a living example of its
merits, and wish that every member of the great
army Of sufferers from liver and stomach troubles
could be made familiar with the fact that they can
be cured"

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1885-07-21
TT Is NOT A PARALLEL.

The Philadelphia Times says "When
the Republicans came into power in 1861
the federal offices were filled, us rule,
by partisan Democrats, and in three
months thereafter they were all removed
and partisan Republicans put in their
places"
The Times is in error. There was no
such sweeping change in the federal
offices in 1861. OF course there were
many removals, for there was intense
bitterness of feeling in those'days. Be-
sides there hud been no civil service re-
form agitation, there was no civil service
law in force, and the victorious party had
not pledged itself to frown on the spoils
system.
But there was no "clean sweep" at
tempter. Not only in the departments
in Washington, but in all parts of the
country, Democratic ofiiceholders, IL
large numbers, held on year after year
There was no ''clean sweep" undel
any Republican administration. Promi
pent Democratic politicians secured ap
pointments for their Democratic friends
Hundreds of we'll. known Democrats helc
good positions in the departments, Som'
of them are still in Office, living monu
ments of Republican tolerance
But if all this had been reversed
every Democrat had been hustled out o
Office in March. 1861, and If not singh
Democrat had been put into office durlhl
the entire period of Republican ascend
ency, that course would have furnished n
call or justification for similar proscrip
ton under the present administration.
President Cleveland owes his electio
to the support of five or six hundre
Independent Republicans in New Yor
who voted for him because he VII
pledged to carry out their civ
service reform theory 1t was
reform" campaign. But for the re
! form pledges of the party and its cand

1 came i'll ina very animated manner.
II seemed us nearly as / could under
stand him, that he had lost his violin
bow, and unless he could find some sub.
stitute for 1t he could not do his part in
the concert. Did any of his audience
happen TO have violin bow with them?
No! Well, that was too bad What
should he do? Would anything else
answer instead of bow? Couldn't
somebody lend him something? &c. OF
course this was all made up.
The object of the violinist was to get
hold Of some nondescript objects with
which he could play ON his violin instead
of II bow and 80 show his skill, and all
his talk was simply to entertain his audi
ence 80 much more. Presently somebody
handed him up visiting card-a COM
mon, plain visiting card. The violin st
took it, looking ut II n moment inquir-
ingly, tried its edge with his finger, and
then applied the edge to the strings of
his instrument. II answered the purpose
very we'll, and he played quite q nice
tune. At the end there was burst of
applause. Then he called for something
else-to see. he said, if he could not do
little better
An officer of the army, who was sitting
near the stage, passed up his sword and
with the sword for bow the clever
young violinist, after moment or twos
experimenting, played another nice tune,
over which there was more applause,
louder than before. Then he handed
the sword back to the officer and asked
for something else. A lady handed him
up an umbrella. An umbrella! How
could any one play on the violin with an
umbrella But this man did He
opened the umbrella and, finding a
smooth place few inches in length on
the handle, went to work with ease
and succeeded surprisingly we'll. The
applause when he finished was heartier
than ever and what had been before Il
scene of mere amusement on the part of
the audience seemed to rise into some
II
thing like admiration.
And now the violinist good naturedly
offered to try once more. And what do
you think was handed up to him this
time? A shoe; and old shoe! Surely
he would have to give it up now. For a
moment he looked rs if he would. After
examining the shoe with care for mo.
ment, the violinist found place on the
inner de, between the heel and the toe.
where the projecting sole furnished a
short, sharp edge. When lie had found
that and felt it with his fingers. he
looked up with pleased expression, as il
to say, guess that will do. And do ii
did; for with the shoe for violin bow
he went on and played n tripping tune
that set everybody's feet going, and
when he had finished filled the room
with deafening round of applause
With low bow and pleasant smile, in Il
moment he was gone Correspondence

The successful Inauguration of new
and beneHcent Indian policy was one of
the crowning glories of President Grants
two terms. II marked new era in our
national history-the substitution of JUS
tice for vengeance. The new policy has
fully justified the hopes of its friends
and has been equally disappointing to
its enemies. Under its operations the
Indians have been making rapid progress
in the arts of civilization, and are now
steadily working up toward self.support.
But all this is invisible to those who do
not care for the elevation of the Indians
and would rather see them wiped out
Of existence" than civilized. Hence the
demand for the abolition of the Indian
bureau and the transfer Of the aborigi-
nails TO the War Department.
