Grant Still Gaining.


New YORK, April 22.-Dr. Douglass slept
at the Grant mansion last night and this
morning said there was no i'll effects from
the generals exercise yesterday unless it was
in added fatigue that prevented profound
sleep during the early part of the night.
The generals pains are absted to-day but
the trouble at the base Of the tongue is at
all times the seat OF greater or less pain to
the patient. DIR. Douglass in referring to
the Brazilian cancer cure that is reported TO
have been sent to the family said the gen.
erals physician had had the preparation
nearly two months, but that it had never
been used because there was no data at
hands of its efficacy and Gen. Grant was not
patient to experiment on. The name Of
the Brazilian preparation is alveloz and is
the juice OF a southern plant. In conclu
sion DR.. Douglass remarked that the gen.
eral was on the whole improved to-day,
though he was vet very sick man.
Drs. Barker, Shrady and Douglass met in
consultation at o'clock to-day. The gen.
erals throat was examined by the aid of the
electric light and was found better than
when last seen by Drs. Barker and Shrady,
on Sunday last As DR.. Douglass was leav-
ing he said in response TO inquiry that the
general experienced some pain
during the examination Of the
throat, but otherwise he had suffered
no more pain to-day than yesterday. Tie
throat was much improved except at the
main point The patient was stronger and
could eat more and with a greater desire
for food. Gen. Grant, said DIR. Douglass,
was better at present than when he took his
last drive before the alarming symp-
toms were developed, three weeks
ago last Sunday. The next consultation
he said would take place Sunday next. DR..
Douglass was of the opinion that Gen.
Grant would not 60 out to walk this after
noon but the doctor bad not been gone
twenty minutes when the general and Col.
Grant left the house and walked TO Madison
avenue and a. the corner the general stood
a few moments and gazed down the avenue,
then slowly retraced his steps to the house.
At $50 p. m. DIR. Douglas returned to
stay all night He refused to make any
of the generals condition and said
that he would issue no more bulletins
whether the other physicians would do so
or not in the future. The house was closed

FIOHTS THEM OVER.

II is said that General Grant, while
under the influence of morphine,
fights over ali his battles, calling his
old staff officers about him in his
dreams. This is natural. The SUI
preme moments Of life seem to come
back in the death agony, and to an old
soldier the crisis of battle can not
be forgotten in twenty years of peace.
The story is that Napoleon on his
death bed called out in his delirium,
'Tete d'armee:' Stonewall Jackson,
fresh from the battle field, died with
a call on his lips for a. r. Hill 10 pre-
pare for action; and Lee, though pur-
suing the peaceful calling ola teacher
at the time ofhis mortal Illness passed
away in the false excitement of war,
issuing an order TO the same subordi-
nate, who had been killed April ?,
1865. No wonder, then, that Grant
fights all his battles over.

CABINET CHANGES.

a correspondent to an eastern paper
writes from Washington "a follows in
reference 10 rumors circulated in re-
gard TO certain changes ia the presi-
dents cabinet:
President Cleveland wishes il an.
derstood, once for all, that in select
ing his cabinet every member has en-
listed for the fun term and that there
has not been a single appointment for
expectancy or with a view of extern
porting for political purpose. Ii Is
his earnest hope that those now with
him will share the burden Of the trust
until the end of his administr alton.
WHAT may arise in the future l. no
worthy of a moments thought now,
and hence whoever may hear
gossip shout cabinet changes here
after can accept the unqualified declsr-
alton Of the president that so tar as
ii may lie in his power, he will hold
every cabinet officer 10 his official
family until the sth of March, 1889.
He was reminded that Mr.. Hayes
made similar avowal in 1877, shortly
after he occupied The White House,
and yet that he parted company with
secretary McCrars in the third yesr,
and Postmaster General Kew and Sec
7eiay Thompson to ard the close of
ais term.
Nevertheless. said Mr.. Cleveland,
the record shows his cabinet did re-
main intact nearly three wears, and
hat four members continued to their
ERIN. hope 20 have the same honor
hat Mr.. Pierce enjoyed at the end of
us term of ofiice-thst of retiring to
rivate life, aad parting company with
he seven gentlemen who through the
ntire four years had helped to make
he yoke Of his presidential life less
lurdensome TO bear"

A PREDICTION.

Brother Sol Miller, of the TROY.
Kansas Chief, is playing n long, lone
and forlorn hand against prohibition
IL ia a powerful lone haud, because
Brother Miller insists upon playing il
within the ranks of the grand old
party. He will be euchred to death
before he gets through with the game.
st. Joe Gazette.
Mr.. Miller might as well play hi.
hand within the Republican party as
ont of it. BE- playing out of the par
ty he might defeat the Republican
party, but he cannot defeat prohibit
ton. The query then arises for cousid-
Grafton BY Mr.. Miller aud others, which
had they rather have-lsepublicanism
and prohibition or Democracy and
prohibition? as for prohibition, II is
stronger than any party in Kansas,
entrenched behind the conscience and
candid Judgment of all good citizens.
There are hundreds OF Democrats
who are trying 10 use il to divide
the Republican party, but who would
go up to the polls and vote for it
again as they did when it was adopted.
There are other hundreds in both
parties who remained away from
the polls when prohibition was
adopted, and who viii always remain
awsy. Men whose inclinations lead
them TO dissipation, but whose con-
science impels them to nominslIy
stand on the right side. There is still
another element. the politicians of all
parties who are emancipated from sa-
loon influence, who every day thank
their stars for prohibition. A man of
intelligence and good intentions, who
has been lorded over by a saloon bum-
mer for years, is not likely TO return
TO such slavery again. We expect
TO see prohibition made the foot
ball OF politicians and scare
crow for partizans for sometime and
if certain class of Republicans in
Kansas determine upon it they may
turn the administrative branch of the
state over TO the Democrats but the
Democrats aud snti-prohibitionists to.
gether will never elect two-thirds of
the Kansas legislature. We make ihis
prediction not as an anti-prohibitlon-
ist, nor as q prohibltionist, but be-
cause a careful analysis OF society and
classes of voters as we find them in
Kansas convinces us that we are
right Fl Scott Monitor
