The latest from Washington is that the
President is getting tired of the Independ-
ents. He thinks they are not treating him
fairly and not standing by him as they
should and his mind is said to be practi-
cally made up to pay less Difference to their
opinions in the future. He is also good
deal discouraged over the results of his
efforts to lead the Democracy in the path of
civil service reform, and fearful that even
his patriotic adherence to that doctrine has
done him too much harm as regards his re-
lations to his party to be easily repaired.
While he has no intention of breaking with
the Independents, he is said to have fully
determined hereafter not to allow them to
stand in the way of the most cordial rela-
tions between himself and his party, even at
the risk of rousing their anger.

Richard H. Dana, secretary of the Massa-
chusetts civil service reform association,
wants each department at Washington to
keep a list for public inspection, of all chang
es in offices under it with names and the
cause, as often as can be ascertained, of the
change. The President is reported to be
pleased with the idea and to have advised
Mr.. Dana in behalf of the civil-service re-
formers to write letter to each member of
the cabinet asking that this be ordered. He
will do so and if the request is not complied
with will then address himself to the Presi-

The women of New York are taking hold
of the Saturday half-holiday movement SEN
sibly, and thousands of fashionable people
have pledged themselves to the executive
committee, to make their Saturday purchases
before 10 o'clock. Many merchants and en-
ployers of labor have assured the committee
that this is all they desire, to persuade them
to close their establishments on Saturday af-
ternoons. The federation of bookkeepers
and clerks have also taken sensible action in
the matter, not in the way of coercion upon
their employers, but in line with the general
movement and will themselves refrain from
Saturday afternoon shopping and will per-
suade their families and friends to do like
wise. The central labor union has also TAX
en- similar action.

The eight hour agitation which was begun
in Chicago on Saturday cannot succeed. A
few concerns may be compelled by the ne
cessity for performing contracts which
they have entered into to accede temporarily
to the workmen's demand Of ten hours pay
for eight hours work. But the existing con-
ditions of business make it impossible to eS-
tablish this as the general rule. Manufac
turers will shut their establishments and put
the keys in their pockets rather than run
their works at loss which they would sure
ly do if they should accede to this eight hour
demand. The only result which this agita-
great many workingmen out of employment

Pollard nominated for Chief Justice of
Montana, enjoys the distinction of being the

buying it of her for song.

The New York Herald has been one of
the most jealous administration organs in
the country Its attitude toward the heads
of departments for long time was main
tanned on the principle that 'the King can
do no wrong" and so until very recently it
has been disposed to regard the criticisms on
the course of the State Department concern
ing the fishing industry as unjustifable par
tisan attacks. 1t has, however, sent repre-
sentatives to Gloucester to ascertain
the sentiments of those most interested in
the matter, and it is just beginning to realize
that its past position has been wrong. AS
a result of its investigation it says:

needless laundering, which it is the duty of the

Gen. Butler says he regards boycotting as
utterly unjustifable. 'When', he says ''the
laborer by legal means and organization
through the ballot-box can control capital
and make the laws as it pleases, why re-
sort to partial, illegal and almost always
unjust remedy such as boycotting, which is
the miserable invention of an oppressed
people who have no power or voice in max
ing the laws which govern them? Boycott

hibition of strength. 1t cannot be dropped

keepers proving themselves unfit for the
places they occupied, to suggest their dis
charge, and in four of the eight districts
where this has occurred new men have been
appointed, whom all the local Republicans
classed as Republicans. OF the sixty-four
men now employed in this district, thirty
nine are Democrats and the balance
are Republicans, Independents and
Greenbackers, and papers proving TINS

of Congress from this State that l was not
Republican, but Democrat, and oughtto be
removed because, as / always gave DEM
ocrats the preference my conduct was detri-
mental to the interests of the Republican
party. Letters of complaint have been sent
to Washington, and Senators Frye and Hale

them by Republicans that the course | was

plants came from Kittery to Quoddy Head,

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
haStened the breaking up of the constitution than
Catarrh. The sense CT smell, of taste, of sight, of
hearing the human voice, the mind,-one ormore,
and sometimes ALL yield to its destructive infiu-
ence. The poison it distributes throughout the
system attacks every vital force, and breaks up
the most robust of constitutions. Ignored, be-
cause but little understood, by most physicians,
impotently assalIcd by qliacks and charIatans,
those suffering from it have little hope to be re-
ieyed of it this side OF the grave Its time then,
that the popular treatment of this terrible disease
by remedies within the reach of all passed into
hands at once competent and trustworthy. The
new and hitherto untried method adopted by DR..
Sanford in the preparation of his RADICAL CURE
has won the hearty approval Of thousands. It is
instantaneous aOrding relief in all head colds,
sneezing, snuffling and obstructed breathing, and
rapidly removes the most oppressive symptoms,
clearing the head, sweetening the breath, restor-
ing the senses of smell, taste and hearing, and
neutralizing the constitutional tendency OF the
disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys.

The arrest Of Herr Most in New York on
the charge of melting citizens to riot by de-
livering infiammatory speeches is a step
which has been taken none TOO soon. 1t IS
men of this class who have forced their way
to the front in the course of the labor
troubles, and without any real sympathy
with the cause of the workingmen, have
used that cause to serve their own selfish
, ends. 1t is high time that there should be
some check placed upon these dangerous
demag0gues.

impatient and issued thousands OF circulars
