COMING APPOINTMENTS.

Ex-Congressmen Lacey and Thomas Likely
tn Be Given Important Positions.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 14.-There is every
reason to believe that the President has
settled upon two names for two important
positions in the Treasury Department, and
that these names will be announced to-
morrow, when the appointments will be
made. The friends of ex-Congressman
Edward S. Lacey, of Michigan, have never
had doubt, for week past,
that he would be appointed Comp
troller of the Currency, which
Office has been vacant for some time. Mr..
Lacey arrived here early last week and was
presented to the President. General Har-
rison was greatly pleased with him, and
said so. Mr.. Lacey intended to leave for
Michigan last evening, but at the last
moment he received word which induced
him to remain here over Sunday. 1t is
understood that this word was an intima-
tion from the President which led him to
infer that his appointment will be forth
coming tomorrow.
The other place to be filled at the same
time is the Second Comptrollership of the
Treasury Mr. John r. Thomas, of Illinois,
is said to be certain of this position. The
duties relate to the auditing of accounts of
army and navy officers, and Mr.. Thomas 8
experience as member OF the House COM
mittee on naval affairs will, it is thought,
prove valuable in this Office. The present
Deputy Comptroller is authority for the
that Mr.. Thomas has been chosen for the
Dlace.

''No man is an infallible judge Of in

incredible freaks to allow Of any rule to
be established about it. Nevertheless
there are general rules Of mental dis
turbance that may safely be followed.
Paresis is the disease that puzzles us all.
It has a Hmitless variety Of manifesto

the sufferer being anything more than
what we call eccentric. But it will break
bounds sooner or later, and declare itself
in melancholy or dangerous madness. l

would pass for sane in any crowd, yet
not one of them is safe to set loose, for 1t
cannot be foretold at what moment they
may become entirely irresponsible and

paresis is a disease that is never cured.
1t must increase with time. Ihave known
