DUCK SUPPER IS The latest title TOT
a Democratic political conference. 1t is
alleged that the President recently went
fifty miles to attend a duck supper"
with General Farnsworth and number
of other New York politicians, the OBJ
ject of which was to settle upon sue
cessor for Mr.. Manning in the Treasury.
THE new appointee as Governor of
Utah is Mr.. Caleb W. West. of Ken
tucky, an ex-Cenfederate. Mr.. West
wanted TO be Lieutenant Governor of his
State at the last convention, but the peO-
pie preferred Union soldier fer the Of
flee, and Mr. West was permitted to re-
main in private life. The President,
however, appears to think Confederate
soldier will make just the kind of an Of
fcer he wants, and accordingly appoints
him to succeed Governor Murray. If the
new executive of Utah makes anything
like as good a Governor as his predeces-
sor, we shall be sgreeably surprised.
A DELEGATION of Colorado Democrats
who waited upon President Cleveland to
see if something could be done 20 stop
the appointing of ex-COnfedrates to sue
ceed Union Soldiers in the Centennial
State. went home disgusted. All the
satisfaction they got from the. President
was the cynical remark that it appeared
he had better leave all Republicans in
Office in Colorado. Mr.. Larkins, editor
of the Rocky Mountain News, Que OF
the delegation, said he would rather
have Republican in the White House
than this sort of thing" Mat ers are
becoming very serious, when good Dem
ocrats refer to their President as this
sort of thing"

THE OTHER NoBILITIEs

were Earl Spencer, ex Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland, and Lord Ashbourne, ex-
Lord Chancellor. In the Diplomatic
Gallery every Am nbassador and Minister
at the Court of st. James was squeezed
in, Mr.. Phelps. the American Minister,
being pressed into corner next to
Prince Christian. In the Strangers Gal
lery Michael Davitt and Father Eugene
Sheehy were conspicuous auditors. In
the Ladies' Gallery the widow of John
Mitchell. who struggled and suffered for
ireland, looked down upon this historic
scene.
On Mr.. Gladstone's entrance the whole
Liberal and Irish party rose and cheered
him. His voice retained almost its old+
time resonance, and at the close its mel
ody was heard resounding through the
hall, producing its enchanting effect. 1t
was feared at first that the speech of the
Premier wai about to be a failure, but
as time wore on it was discovered, from
the awe of the members, that his old
time supremacy had rem mained, and that
his eloquence had lost nothing of its
great force. At the close the feeling
was universal that the speech was the
greatest oratorical effort of Gladstone's
whole career, and he seemed TO carry the
sentiment of the house with him. The
Nationalist party was

THOROUGHLY PLEASED


with Gladstone's plan, with The excep-
tion of certain features criticised by Par
nell. Michael Davitt expressed his en-
tire satisfaction, and there can be no
doubt that the measure will meet with
the warm support of the Nationalist
party.
One amusing incident was the prema-
ture attempt of Colwaring, representing
the Ulster Orangemen, to catch the
Speakers ear before Gladstone finished,
be being greeted by a roar of laughter.
Lord Hartington's brief speech was al
most non-committal, bnt Trevelyan in
jected enough animus into bis speech to
awaken sharp feelings on both sides.
Parnell's reply was vigorous and elo+
quent, maintaining the debate at the
level where Gladstone had left off.
While accepting the principle of the
measure, Parnell called attention to the
details regarding Ireland's proportion of
taxation, which he thought should and
would be altered by the House. After
Plunkett's criticism from the Tory stand
point, Chamberlain moved an adjourn
ment of the debate, thereby securing an
opening tomorrow.

Cure For Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to
suppose he has some affection of the kid
neys or neighboring organs. At times,
sy nptoms of indigestion are present, as
datulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like preparation, producing a
disagreeable itching, after getting warm is
a Common attendant. Blind, bleeding
and itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication of Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly Upon the parts affected,
absorbing the tumors, a~llaying the intense
itching, and efaeting g permanent cure.

PIERCE'S CHANGE OF BASE.
A Territorial Office Used Exclu
siveIy as an OfIicfaI Lever,

A Territorial Office Used Exclu-
siveIy as an OficfaI Lever.
Mitchell Republican: Dakota oan now
beast of o democratic governor, secured
without the rude shock that usually
accompanies q change of administration.
The appointment of Geo. s. Engle, a
prominent democrat of the territory, to
the position of Encouragement can be
construed in no other way than to mean
to do his part toward putting his govern
ment into harmony with the powers that
be. Finding that President Cleveland
would not remove him, he began early
the work of placing himself in accord
with the administration. by a gradual
but effective process, which eliminated
in his now famous civil service order
that has been more honored in the
breach than observance py the terri
torial officials. The appointment
of Engle is tangible proof of the
thorougnness OF Gov. Pierce's CONVEX
sion, and shows him to be possessed of
all the zeal that new converts are pro.
verbal for. Indeed, the pointed manner
in which he picked out o democrat who
has been on his knees at Washington
for some time, asking Office, and who
has been suspected of an ambition to be
nominated for delegate, carries q rebuke
to Mr.. Cleveland for the indifference
which the latter has hitherto shown to
the appeals of his "yery hungry and
very thirsty" party.
The officer OF attorney-general OF any
commonwealth should be second only
in it's freedom from suspicion, and in
the high charaeter''o of its occupant to that
of Judge; but in Dakota the position
has been abused from the hour Of its
creation. Designed to halp carry out
q corrupt arrangement, the Office was
filed during the first two years without
any attempt to disguise that design.
my attorney-general," as the late,
lamented Ordway fondly designated
him succeeded admirably in driving She
comparatively handsome salary attached
to the position, but aside from that left
no lasting record of services, valuable
or otherwise.
His successor was named under cir
cumstanoes indicating more of q desire
by those interested to tone down his
solid south Dakota and capital removal
views. than to have the place ably filed
and his subsequent change of base fully
justified the motives of those who
brought about his nomination.
The third stage into which this much
abused office has fallen, however, is
really it's worst. 1T has been utilized as
a bill board, on which is advertised in
letters of brass that q republican Office
holder has betrayed his party and gone
over to the enemy for a paltry mess OF
pottage.
