VINE EllMs MeuloaA Bulletlul
Leanness of the body Is q thing to be
avoided on the ground that any departure
from conditions which are natural must
certainly predisposes the body to disease.
One of the first positive evidences or
development Of the conditions which lead
to consumption, isthe knowledge that the
body is throwing of IN an un1igested
form, the fat that is taken into the stom-
ach. This is followed by a loss in guam
tity and quality of the blood and cores
ponding loss in flesh. In these cases,
there as truly exists consumption (though
there may not be necessarily consumption
of the lungs at the beginning as in any
case that ever existed.
Lean persons are the only ones who
furnish material for the quick develop
ment Of many ailments. Susceptibility
to changes in the weather, feeble diges.
ton, limited strength and energy, ner-
vousness and disturbed sleep, soon lead
to some serious disease. Another popu-
lar fallacy with lean persons is. that they
must necessarily always remain lean be-
anse their parents have perhaps shown a
tendency Of this kind.
These lean persons doubtless inherit a
tendency to imperfect action of the di-
gestive functions. For the cure OF this
difficulty, many medical authorities have

thing. A stimulant which can be united
with all of the best things which enter
into an ordinary diet may well be con-
sidered n desirable one. This is secured
in a pure malt whiskey, as it can be used
with milk, eggs and with food at meal
time. 1t is however not only desirable
but absolutely necessary to get the best
results, that a whiskey known to be
free from fusel oil and all other
authorizations should be used. The chief
difference in stimulants of all kinds is
the percentage of alcohol and, by diluting
whiskey, which contains the greatest
per cent. any percentage can be obtained
to suit any taste. The special properties
Of a pure malt whiskey are not destroyed
by being diluted and sweetened, and in
this way many persons who canno use
alcohol in any other form, can use
DufTy's pure malt whiskey, the dis
coverers of which are the sole pro.
prietors Of an absolutely pure malt
whiskey free from fusel oil and all adul-
terations. The company is furnishing
constantly an abundance of testimony
that by the use of their whiskey taken
three times a day at meals, a marked,
constant and permanent increase in weight
has been obtained by parties suffering from
l~eanness, supposed to be unsusceptible to any
other agency.

THE REMOVAL BUSINESS.

The New York Herald is authority
for the statement that it ought to be
known to Democratic and Republican
voters throughout the country, that if
the President and Senators should be
forced to entire publicity about the
patronage business, the voters would
discover!
First-That a good many Democrat
ic Senators and Representatives have
secretly asked the President to retain
their Republican friends in office, while
openly they were pretending to seek
the appointment of Democrats.
Second-That many Democratic SEN
ators and Representatives have openly
Endorsed several persons for the same
place, and then have secretly gone to
the President and persuaded him to
appoint still another man.
Thlrd-That Democratic Senators
and Representatives have privately in
dOrsed and urged the nomination of
men of known bad character and have
secured such nominations, and have
done this in the belief that they would
never be held responsible before their
constituents forthis misconduct, which
had for its object their own political
advantage.
Fourth-That Republican Senators
have secretly asked the President to
remove Republicans, anu have prom
ised him in return their support in the
secret executive session for his nomi-
nees to fill places sc vacated.
1t is entirely true that if the Senate
and the President can be forced to
make an open breast Of this patronage
business, some men now prominent in
Congress will be badly damaged. But
they ought to be damaged they are
not fit for public trust.
1t is true also that these revelations
will cause a great sensation in every
part of the country. This secret Office
seeking business is SO dirty that to un-
cover 1t will show up a great deal OF
perfdy, meanness and INSCRIPTIONS
lying and intrigue. But that fact
makes publicity necessary. Entire and
constant publicity is the only remedy
for an evil which, as the best men Of
both parties here see and freely &C.
knowledge, threatens the peace Of the
countryif it goes on.

One of Mr.. Edmunds' Greatest Eff.
forts,

FORTS
NEW YORK, March 10.-The Suns
Washington special says Mr.. Ed
munds' opening speech yesterday in
the controversy between the senate
and the executive was one of his great
est efforts. He had had two or three
months in which to prepare it, and it
was a most complete presentation of
his side of the case. He piled precedent
upon precedent, for the Democrats to
60 around OIL get over; one very strong
one being a cas- in which his
old friend, Allen G. Thurman,
figured as making demand
upon the attorney general, pre-
cIsely like his own. The round
of applause with which the
crowded galleries greeted Mr.. Ed
munds' complimentary allusion to Mr..
Thurman as the noblest Democrat he
had ever known, was a remarkable and
significant demonstration. Mr.. Ed
munds had a large audience, but in the
galleries and on the floor there was
some comment on the fact, that while .
the Democratic senators, with a half
dozen exceptions, were attentive list
eners, the Republicans showed less
interest in his speech. Gen. Logan,
who sat at the desk on Mr.. Edmunds
right, got up and went out soon after
ne began his speech. Mr. ingalls,, who
sat behind him. coOllv read a
newspaper. Ri~ddleberger fled as
soon as Mr.. Edmunds rose, and
former senator0 Bruce, the colored
Mississippian, came in and took his
seat. Little Malone sat unmoved on
Mr.. Edmunds' right and on his left
sour own" Evarts sat with the tips of
his long index fingers joined together
and his head bent forward in a listen
ing attitude. Representative Randall
strolled over from the house for a few
minutes to see what was going on, and
half a dozen other representatives &C.
cupied seats in the chamber. There
was no ripple of excitement in the
proceedings. Mr.. Edmunds talked de-
liberately and with moderation of the
measure that he showed the other
day. His speech was a strong
one. There were evasions and sophis. 4.
tries in it, but on its face it was dan
gerously plausible and the Democrats
are a little nervous about its effect on
the country"

SENATOR EvARTs still talks like an
oracle on the currency question. He
is going to deliver then speech, how
ever, in good time, and that we shall
know what he does think-perhaps.
1t will be a speech for the whole pee
pie when it comes, he tells us. The
Senate's vision has a wide range in
these days, and he means to set the
people of the prairies apuzzling over
his sentences.

rRE EDUCATTONIL 80

A@4H
The educational bill as It passed the
Senate provides that for eight years
after its passage there shall be annu.
ally appropriated from the treasury
the following sums in aid Of common
school education in the States and Ter
ritories and in the District Of Column
bia and Alaska: The FIRST year 81, 000,.
coo the second year, $4,000. 900 the
third year, SIS, 100000 the fourth
year, $13,0OO.OC0 the fifth year, $Il,-
100000 +; the sixth year, 100000
the seventh year s7,000,000 the eighth
year $4,000, 00O, making s77, 900
besides which there is a special appro-
priatlon of $2,000,000 made in the
erection of school-houses in sparely
settled districts, making the total fund
$79,OOO,OOO.
The money is TO be given to
the several States and Territories in
that proportion which the whole num-
Der Of persons in each, who, being of
the age of ten years and over, cannot
write, bears to the whole number of
such persons in the United States, ac-
cording to the census Of 1880, until
the census figures of 1890 shall be ob
tanned, and then according 10 the lat
ter figures.
In States having separate schools for
white and colored children the money
shall be paid out in support Of such
white and colored children between
ten and twenty-one years old in such
ratio as such children bear to each
other by the census. No State is to re-
ceive the benefit of the act until its
Governor shall send to the Secretary of
the Interior a statement giving
full statistics of the attend
ance of white and colored chill
dren, the amount of money expended,
the number of schools in operation,
the number and compensation of
teachers, etc. No State or territory
shall receive in any year from this
fund more money than it has paid out
the previous year from its own
revenues for common schools.
If any State declines to take its
share of the national fund, such share
is to be distributed among the States
accepting the benefits Of the fund. If
any State OF territory misapplies the
fund, or fails to comply with the condi-
tons, it loses all subsequent appor-
tionments. Samples Of all school
books in use in the common schools in
the States and territories shall be filed
with the Secretary Of the Interior.
Any State or Territory accepting
the provisions of the act at
the first session of its Legis
lature after the passage of
the act. shall receive its pro rata share
of all previous annual appropriations.
Congress reserves the right to alter or
repeal the act. 1t is a matter of some
doubt whether the bill will pass the
House, and it is further stated that
should it do SO, President Cleveland
will veto the bill when it is presented
to him.
