ning's illness followed dispute with Mr..
Cleveland, which put the two gentlemen
on bad terms, and would have caused the
secretary's retirement from the cabinet
had he not been stricken down. 1t was
urged in corroboration of this story that the
president had gone on ducking trip for a
day after the secretary had been seized
and had thus shown great disregard for
him.
This tale has been copied without
comment into certain newspapers 1hat
did not have the courage to orig
mate 1t or to endorse it editorially !;
and the Republican press has naturally
published IL as something rejecting upon
the administration. If the statements
made are true, their publication would be
quite proper if they are untrue, it is not
easy to use language too severe in theil
denunciation. They were not statements
that, if false, could have been innocently
made; because it has been well known
that the president and Secretary Manning
have been close and confidential friends
and that Mr.. Manning was his especial
selection for the cabinet and in it has been
the nearest to him of its members.
A story that they had quarrelled therefore
was one that would have put decent
journal on its guard to inquire into its
truth before its publication.
Now this story is declared to be a lie out
Of the whole cloth, and to be utterly with
out foundation in anything that ha:
occurred between the president and thu
secretary. The president went on tn,
ducking excursion at the desire of Mr.
Manning's family, who did not want hin
to lose the relaxation he needed through
observance of unnecessary outward form
1t is declared, by those who know, that ther
has been no break in the cordial feeling o
the president toward the secretary, nor an
lack of feeling for him in his condition
Upon this statement we are surely of opin
ion that those who started the contrar
story, and those who have given II currency
have marked in most unmistakeable wa
their deep malignity and meanness.

The Medical Registry Law.

We do not think it is possible that the
facts in the case of DR.. Ege-fined by
Judge Mcpherson, of Lebanon, for prac-
ticing medicine without being registered
in that county-can be as they are stated
by our esteemed contemporary, the Read
ing Eagle.
According to this account DR.. Eye Isl
regular practitioner, regularly registered in
Berks county, and has been punished for
practicing across the inter-county line, not
having also registered in Lebanon.
The medical registration act, bad as it
is, never contemplated such an outrage and
will admit of no such monstrous miscon-
struction, 1t plainly says the practitioner
shall register his diploma with or get his
certificate from the prothonotary of the
county in which he resides or sojourns -
and it declares that nothing in the act shall
be so construed as to prevent physician
legally qualified in any other state from
practicing in this commonwealth. To
decide under these circumstances that
a Philadelphia physician, duly registered
there, is subject to criminal punishment if
he practices in Lancaster without register
ing here or to say that a Lancaster physi-
clan shall not practice in all hecounties OF
the state unless registered in all of them
is to say an absurdity; and we do not be.

Weepers and Walters.

VeepeTs anu VHlIeTss
No self-respecting man of intelligence
and experience can look with any other
feelings than of contempt upon the strug-
giles which Republican office-holders make
to keep themselves in place. For twenty
four years their party had entire control of
the official patronage of the country. They
used and abused it without shame or
remorse. The fact that any man or woman
was Democrat, or of Democratic affilia-
ti0ns, was enough to exclude him or her
from participation in administering the
government and ninety-nine per cent. of
persons appointed to Office got their places
because they were Republicans, or of Re-
publican affiliations. This powerful or
ganization of Office-holders was used and
abused to keep its party in power. They
took the chances and dared the fate of war
in every campaign.
When the turn of events came in 1884,
the country had adopted, if it had not as
sented to and accepted with good will, the
civil service reform law. 1t was
purposely framed by its friends and
advocates so as to not interfere
with removals. Mr.. Curtis and other
exponents of the system never presumed to
challenge the executives right to remove
anybody and everybody. In that the new
plan was like the old. Not Republican
Office-hOlder was protected in his place by
the civil service law-not one. Every one
of them was and is removable at the presi-
dents will, from assistant cabinet officers
down to tide walters on the wharf. The
civil service rules only regulate the manner
OF selecting their successors they them
selves hold their places by the favor and
Indulgence of party and administration
which they tried their best to keep out.
And yet about nine out of ten of these
fellows whine and weep, lament and pro-
test, kick and curse when they are politely
asked to go after being given year OF
more to stay, as if they had some divine
right to the offices. The number of Re-
publican officeholders who have resigned
u almost infinitesimal; in the various de.
pAuments about nine-tenths of them are
holding on like grim death. Every time
one Is dispensed with his lamentations fill
the air and the columns of the Republican
newspapers. The Democrats have the
heads OF the custom-house and the
y postofiice in Philadelphia, and vet
the institutions are still packed with
Republican subordinates. Mr.. Cad
& walader and Mr.. Harrity are no doubt trv.
ing to gradually get fair representation
of their own party and men of their owr
choice into the service; at the present rat,

not occur for several months. The

The members draw their money in

Among these are Scott and Everhart.

Boutelle, of Maine; Henley, of Cali

OF Texas Ellisbury, of Ohio Stone,

couple of dozen of members who al

The great majority of the members
draw all that is coming to them at
the end of each month, particularly
those who have their families with
them. Some Of them never see an
outside bank, but let their monthly
salary remain and draw it out in
small sums. Others take out their
salaries and place them in other
banks. But this is not done as much

WORDS OF WISDOM,

Waste nothing, neither money,
words nor talent. The wise cry
their knowledge as they do their
watches, not for display but for pri-
vate use. Put this restriction on
your pleasure. BE cautious that
they injure no being which has life.
Happiness is often at our side, and
we pass her by. Misfortune is afar
off and we rush to meet her. Re-
ceive no satisfaction for premedita-
ted impertinence forget it, forget it,
but keep him inexorahly at distance
who offered it, One Of the illusions
is that the present hour is not the
critical, decisive hour. Write it on
your heart that every day is the best
day in the year. Too many young
men believe that "the world owes
every man living" and that it re-
quires no effort on mans part to
make the collection. In carly child
hood, you may lay the foundation of
poverty or riches, industry or idle
ness, good or evil, by the habits in
which you train your children.
Teach them right habits then and
their future life is safe. Idleness is
the hot bed of temptation, the cradle
of disease, the waster of time, the
canker worm of felicity. To him
that has no employment, lie in a
little while will have no novelty !;
and when novelty is laid in the grave,
the funeral of comfort will soon fol-
low. If you cannot be happy in one
way, be in another; and this facility
of disposition wants but little aid
from philosophy, for health and good
humOr are almost the whole affair.
Many run about after felicity, like
an absent-minded man hunting for
his hat, while it is in his hand or on
his head.

RUN THE GOVERNMENT

1t costs about S300,000,00O year
to run the United States government,
including interest and payments on
the national debt. This is equal to
So for each inhabitant. The money
is raised mainly by the internal rev.
enue tax on whisky and tobacco and
the customs, or tariff duties, on goods
imported from foreign countries.
The true democratic policy is to re-
duce the expenses as low as is con-
sistent with good government, and
then raise the necessary amount by
taxes on the Injuries of life. Ar
ticles of necessity, such as plain
clothing, hardware, iron, and staple
articles of food like sugar, coffee,
rice, molasses, fish, etc, should be
on the free list. Such articles as
liquor, tobacco, silks, fine goods of
various kinds, jewelry, laces and
other Injuries should be made to
bear the burden. This would place
the tax on the people who are most
able to bear it.

THE BILLS

According to a Washington statis-
ticiaD, there have been some $4,000
bills introduced in Congress this sea-
son, three-fourths of which are House
bills. OF the 1900 introduced in the
Senate, 448 are set down to Mr.. Saw
yer and 441 to Mr.. Blair. No other
Senator is guilty of half so many,
though Mr.. Sewell comes up With
2O5 and Mr.. Van Wyck with POI.
The Kansas Senators, Plumb and In
gals, respectfully number $50 and
l5l, As to the character of these
measures, Mr.. Blair easily heads the
list in the matter of nonsense. MIR.
Sawyers are doubtless mostly pri-
yate pension bills, as he acquired
great distinction some weeks ago in
preparing an unprecedented number
within a given time for presentation
on the part Of the Pension Commit
tee. Mr.. Kenna, OF West Virginia,
introduced the lowest number, two.
if we except Mr.. Jones, of Florida,
who has been continuously absent,
and who has presented none at all.
The ktGoS is due unto Mr.. Jones.
