cured without a doctor. When it was
raging in England a few years ago,
accompanied DR.. Field on his rounds
to witness the so-called wonderful
cures he performed, while the VA
tients Of others were dying on all
sides. The remedy, to be so rapid
must be simple, All he took with
him was powder Of sulphur and a
quill, and with these he cured every
patient, without exception. He put
a teaspoonful Of flour of birthstone
into wineglasS Of water and stirred
it with his finger instead Of spoon,
as the sulphur does not readily ANAL
gamate with water. When the sui
phur was well mixed he gave it as a
gargle, and in ten minutes the pa
tient was out of danger. Birthstone
kills every species of fungus in man,
beast and plant in a few minutes"

ators who claim to be standing on
such high moral ground in this con-
trOversy have been actuated by par
tisan feelings alone. He made many
telling hits at Senators Edmunds,
Sherman and Logan, quoting them
against their present position, as
when, for instance, he read the fac
smile Of a letter written by Sherman,
then Secretary Of the Treasury, in
which he (Sherman) refused to fur
nish the Senate's request for papers
Of a confidential character filed in the
Departments. Mr.. Sherman said, in
the same letter, that no law required
the President to give reasons.
Heread an extract from Mr.. Blaine's
book that was received with bursts of
laughter. 1t was where the Maine
historian stated that the Tenure-of-
Office law was enacted lest President
johnson should remove Republican
office holders too rapidly, and it was
afterward practically repealed lest
President Grant should not remove
Democratic Office holders rapidly
enough.
Mr.. Kenna was merciless in his
criticisms Of the leader of the present
controversy, and while the audience
was listening attentiveIy to the
speaker it was also watching Mr.. Ed
munds' face. During this scorching
the latter resorted to his old habit of
pretending to be absorbed in book
which was open before him. 1t was
noticed, however, that he did not
turn leaf during the long reading
of another choice extract from Mr..
Blaine's book which showed that Mr..
Edmund'S had cOntradicted himself
upon the right of the President to re-
move without giving any reason for
it. When the young Senator closed
with the prediction that Grover
Cleveland would hand down to his
successor the prerogatives of his office
undiminished, he was surrounded
by throng of Senator's and Congress
men who had come to hear him.
They showered congratulations upon
him and shook both Of his hands I'M
til his arms ached. Today Mr.. Ed,
munds will be reinforced by Senator
Cullom, of Illinois.

Washington Letter.

To the Standard.
The week which began with bonn
bardment of the Administration in
the ST nate end Of the Capitol, ended
there with the funeral services over
the deceased California Senator, Mr..
Miller. The obsequies were attended
by the President and Cabinet, the Su-
preme Court and both Houses of Con-
gresS. The Senators in body es-
cOrted the remains to the railroad de-
pot, enroute to California, while the
Marine Band headed the procession,
playing with muffled drums the fu-
neral march.
Senator Miller's death temporarily
gives the Democrats another seat in
the Senate. The prevailing opinion
among California Democrats is that
Gov. Stoneman will appoint to the
vacancy either Mr.. Delmas, a promi-
nent lawyer of that State, or Mr.. Geo.
Hearst, editor of the San Francisco
Examiner.
The Senatorial debate has been 60
ing on steadily with crowded CALLER
les. After the Vermont Senator's
celebrated speech Senator Pugh, OF
Alabama, led the Democratic assault
on Mr.. Edmund's position. Mr.
Pugh is lawyer of fine abilities and
he made strong legal reply to the
Vermonter's assumption. Some Of
his points were very effective, one o.
the first showing flaw in the Ed
munds argument. Mr.. Edmunds
claimed that Duskin, the official who
was suspended by the Attorney Gen
eral, was still a suspended official
and that, therefore, information con
corning his suspension was proper
matter fortheSenator's consideration
Mr.. Pugh showed that the term O
Office to which Duskin had been APP
pointed had expired last January
before the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee had sought to obtain its informa
ton through Mr.. Edmunds.
Senator Wilson next assailed tn,
President in a speech that was yer,
unsatisfactory to the Republicans ant
was laughed at by the Democratic
Senators for its weakness and absur(
assertions. The Iowa Senator troub
led himself hut little with argument
but devoted his time to a purel,
partisan denunciation Of the Admin
istration. The burden of his com
plant was that Mr.. Cleveland haC
failed in his professed intention t.
carry out the principles of Civil Ser
vice Reform.
Then Mr.. Kenna, the younges
man in the Senate, spoke from a Dem
ocratic point of view. In the Yves
Virginian Mr.. Edmunds met an ad
versary entirely worthy of him il
the unworthy cause to which he j
now devoting his energies. 1t wa

The Referee Court.

Nashville Union.
The commission Of referees will
begin its fourth order of business on
Wednesday, the oath inst, and will
try all cases up to date. The sixth
circuit will be tried first, beginning
with Coffee county, and then taking
the other countries as they are named
in the statute creating the circuit.
After this the fifth, sixteenth, seventh,
ninth, eleventh, tenth and eighth
circuits will be called and tried in the
same manner, in the order stated. In
the meantime the Davidson county
cases will be considered, and they
will be decided and reports will be
filed on the oath of this month, the
day the call of the sixth circuit will
begin.
The first order of business of the re-
ferees, embracing 1867 cases, brought
the docket up to Jan. l, 1882; the
second, of S14 cases, brought it up to
Jan. l, 1884; the third, of 612 cases,
brought it up to May Is, 1885, and
the fourth, just called, will bring il
up to date. Between so and 60 per
cent. of the cases thus far heard were
uneXcepted to, and only a small pei
cent. of those taken to the supreme
court were reversed. This is very
favorable showing.

Ii Mr.. Cleveland cares to apply the
same rule to District Attorney Benton s
case that he did to the case of Ex District
Attorney Stone he Is likely to get all the
evidence he wants to authorize such ac-
tion. Editor Snllivan's testimony was
clear and to the point. His report Of
Mr.. Benton's speeches during the cam
paign was so damaging that the only re-
course for the inculpated District Attor-
ney was TO fall back upon general de-.
nial. This. however, is likely to fail
him, as some of the most prominent
Democrats In the neighborhood where
the speeches were made come forward
and assert that the language ascribed to
Mr.. Benton by Editor Sullivan Is correct.
The matter is likely to give the Admin.
istration deal Of trouble yet. II Ben.
ton Is retained the reform pretensions Of
Mr.. Cleveland become as hollow as
sounding brass and as meaningless as
tinkling cymbals; and If Benton is dis.
graced by second dismissal the Demo.
cratic spoilsmen will be in arms at once.
1t is a dilemma which may well discour-
age even more obstinate man than the
President. Doubtless he now wishes he
had taken a consistent course from the
start. ~
