| the denial of Munchausen's servant
that his master ever ate, because he
| had never seen him eat. For weeks
before the election we pigeonholed a
| verified mass of information on this
subject, which we were vainly urged
to publish, giving names, dates,
houses, nights, hours, CONVEX sation,
intrigues, carriages, negotiations,
liasons, boon companions, roues, in
regard to various persons now and
lately high in national official life
which would shock the country and
cover their principals with ineradica-
BILE pitch. The general nature of this
mass of evidence has long been well
understood in Newspaper Row, at
Washington, in parts both of Cincin-
natl and New York; but, owing to the
gallantry of the Cleveland maligned
press, has not been made public.
Though it is old, stale and flat there,
it would have been the most astonish-
ing, latest and disbelieved news to
the charming lady whose jeweled fin
gers are playing with the veil which,
should she pull it down, could
never again be replaced to screen
those whom she would so unwillingly
expose. There are other ladies in
Washington who are much better au-
thority on the main subject than any
cabinet lady. There are people in the
white house who are better authority
on the main issue than any cabinet
lady. And all these others have their
moments of weakness or revenge,
when their secrets are bigger than
themselves and so overflow; or when
their condolences are like swallows,
summing themselves outside of Gheir
nests for anyone to bag. We, in COM
mon with the whole country, are in
tensely interested to have the mora
atmosphere of Washington pure, and
our public duty to lay bare the real
condition of things there was urged
upon us in almost an overwhelming
way. But when we thought of the
misery which would befall many in
nocent people the pigeonhole got the
information and not the public; and
now when disclosure is invited by one
of the innocent we still forbear for the
same reason. But we warn the presi-
dent, and all associated with him,
that they must desist attack upon re-
publican leaders along social lines, or
we shall feel relieved of our self-re-
straint. They must call off their dogs
or we may let loose our tigers"

On Saturday night the Mission Hose

in honor of those ladies who gen.
erously presented them with the
handsome company banner it now
bears with becoming honor, and, as

affair. At midnight the company ad-

Mission garden, where an excellent
repast was laid. Toasts were given
and responded to by Foreman Abbott,

WHITE HOUSE SCANDALS.

The attempt to saddle the respon-
sibility of the rumors affecting the
character of the president and some
of his cabinet upon the republican
party is a signal failure. The more
the matter is agitated the more does
it appear damaging to the heads of the
government. The rumors are the
legitimate and necessary outcome of
the practices of those who are affected
by them and no one is to blame for
their publicity save those who, becom-
ing acquainted with the facts, gave
them away. That these rumors were
not circulated by republican parties
or papers is quite certain, for
had this been the case the facts
would have been given the public
as campaign literature. That they
were not thus given is true, and true
because of the forDearance and con-
sideration of republican journals
which refused to publish the matter,
Notwithstanding the verification of
those facts and the pressure brought
upon the management of said journals
to give them publicity in the nterests
of the public morals. These facts, af-
fecting the character of the president
and some high officials have been
common rumor in Washington and
New York and Cincinnati for some
time, but have been withheld from
the press because the scandal was
such as the journalists into whose
hands knowledge thereof came, deemed
it likely to do more harm than good.
Since, however, this forbearance has
been misunderstood, and republican
journals and officeholders and con-
gressmen have been charged with
originating these scandals, the veil
of secrecy is quite likely to be lifted
and the responsibility put where it
belongs, with those whose disreputa-
BILE practices have been the theme of
comment.
The following, from the editorial
columns of the New York Mail and
Express, tells its own story:
@S$'ft is quite remarkable that so
many of the long suppressed truths
regarding the personal habits of Pres
ident Cleveland and some of his cabi-
net and the speaker should have been
found out at last through denial
given to them by the charming lady
Of one of the secretaries. She, good
soul, could not know of these social
crimes if they existed, and her denial
is as valuable in respect to them as

POISON IN THE ASHES.

Many people believe that Nature
has somewhere remedy for every
disease. So many and so terrible
are the ills of life, and so slight the
pleasure we get as time flies past,
that such belief is the least faith
we can show in gracious and all
wise Providence. A few remedies
but, alas, how few!-haye been
found. Others, so far, lie hidden
from human inquiry. Occasionally
death follows quickly on the heels of
the evil-an illustration of the dan
gerous character of the ailment to
be relieved.
For example, Nervous Dyspepsia
is comparatively aeao disease,
growing out of the conditions of
modern life. 1t is joint affection
of the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two were
formerly treated as separate all
ments, and it was left for the clear
sighted thinkers to prove that the
basis of this terrible and often fatal
complication lies chiefly in the dis
ordered and deprayed functions OF

Let me have a mild
&C | c a r

THE ABOVE REQUEST is HEARD
Il da ly III cigar stores, saloons and
other p aces where cigars are sold, for
it is an undispulcd fact That most smokers
prefer mild cigar and that those who
have for long time smoked strong
cigars, principally imported Manilas,
will, after having thoroughly injured
the stomach and impaired the nervous
system, surely want IA mild cigar, if they
could find the right kind.
How many thousands of smokers who
suffer from loss of appetite, headache,
nervous irritability, asthma, etc., and
who have tried all possible remedies
without success, might be cured if they
knew that their sufferings were caused
by the incorporate use of sll ong cigars,
and that they should only smoke mild
and properly prepared ones.
1T is fact that all mild cigars agree
we'll with smokers, for in most cases
there is lack of care in the selection of
the tobacco, and often the necessary ex-
perience for it is wanting, yet there is
one brand which suits the most faslidious
smoker, and that is
