Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
January %, 1889.

Mr.. Editorial greater scramble for
places in the pension office than that of
four years ago is anticipated on the
coming into power of the new admin
istration. Congressman and others
supposed to have influence with the
Harrison administration are receiving
numerous letters from parties seeking
office from all parts of the country.
Many Vermonters who apply for the
office of special examiner of the pen
sion office, which is worth from $4,000
to 50 800 year, withdraw their claim
when they learn that they must pass a
rigid examination before being APP
pointed. 1t is generally understood
that Commissioner Black and his depu-
ties, Bartlett and Mclean, will retire
from office Immediately after the 4th of
March. Colonel Frank G.. Butterheld
of Vermont, who has had place in the
pension office for some time, is a candi-
date for deputy commissioner of pen
sions. Fred Mack, who was chief of the
eastern division for many years, is also
candidate for the same office. He was
quite recently removed from his place
in the pension office and has opened an
office in this city to prosecute claims.
He has been to Vermont to drum up
business, but Deavitt and other attor-
neys have such a hold on Vermon's
business that his trip was not success.
full, and he would like to return to duty
in the pension office. One would be
surprised to know the number Of Yer
mont physicians who desire place on
the pension boards of surgeons, which
office is worth about 5000 year, and
the boards do not meet oftener than
once a week. We think the " doctors "
will be surprised at the slow rate
changes will be made in the boards as
at present constituted. Experience in
examining applicants for pension is
valuable, and surgeons that are dis
charging their duties satisfactorily
will not be changed, but those who are
not will be removed from office. Mr..
Fisher of Danville, VT, who was chief
clerk of the pension office under
Colonel Dudley, is expecting promotion
either to chief clerk or some other po-
sition. A large number of Colonel
Dudley's old clerks are still in the pen
sion Office and would welcome him back
as commissioner of pensions. Senator
Edmunds recently caught the pension
office mapping. The Office had answered
inquiries for the condition of a certain
pension claim that it was awaiting re-
port from the acknowledgement. The
attorney in the case, after receiving

A Word About Catarrh.

1t is the mucous membrane that wonderful
seminuid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues
of the air and food passages that Catarrh makes its
stronghold once established, it eats into the very
vitals and renders life but a ongdrawn breath of
misery and disease. duing the sense of hearing,
trammeling the power of speech, destroying the
faculty of smell tanting the breath and killing the
refined pleasures of taste. Insidipusly, by creeping
ON from simple cold in the head. it assaults the
memhranous lining and envelops the bones, eating
through the delicate coats and causing nhamma-
ton, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total
eradication will secure health to the patient and all
alternatives are simply procrastimated suherings
leading to fatal termination. SANFoRD's RADICAL
CURE, by hhd'diioB by internal administration
has never failed even when the disease has made
fhghtful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing
smell and taste have been recovered, and the dis
ease thoroughly driven out"

A Great Misfortune.

The heavy rains of last fall have totally
ruined crops in some localities and their effect
is now being seen in diseases among farm
animals. Almost every day cases of roup,
swelled head and distemper very dis
aStrous among poultry are reported. a part
of this is also due to improper feeding.
Many persons think as soon as cold weather
comes on they must begin to feed heating
food to their hens, like cOrn-meal, etc. The
result of this course is if they do not
break down from the diseases prevalent,
they soon get very fat, look fine and people
wonder why they do not lay. You can not
make hen lay when everything you give
her is being transformed into fat and laying
the foundation OF disease, the same as with
an overfed child or person. Alfred Il. John
son, Hampton, n. H., says: Last fall
had eighty tine-ooking hens, which began
to droop and die. | changed their food and
hogan using Sheridan's Powder. In three
weeks they were nearly well and had in

bought SIX cans of it, as preventive of dis
ease the coming winter. 1t can't be beat,
Tor that large can saved me $40 last year.

three or four such replies, wrote to Mr..
Edmunds, who inquired at the war de-
partment in relation to the adjutant-
generals report and ascertained that it
had been furnished the pension Office
five months before such replies were
made. The commissioner of pensions
had the claim at once sent out for a
special examination.
