10 ON. MACDUFE.

All is not Quiet Along the Potomac
as the following from the Chicago Times
clearly indicates. Mr.. Harrison has rub
bed the 'Plumed knights feathers the
wrong way by refusing to appoint White.
law Reid minister to England. The
quarrel will be watched with intense in
terest:
1t is understood that at the cabinet
meeting to-day the direct issue was raised
whether Blaine or Harrison should con-
troll the administration Mr.. Blaine had
a slate of foreign appointments which he
wanted TO be made at once. In fact il
la beer whispered about by Mr.. Blaine's
intimates that Whitelaw Reid would be
nominated to-day for minister TO Eng
land, Allen Thorndyke Rice for minister
to Germany, and William Walter Phelps
minister to France. When Mr.. Blaine
submitted his slate Mr.. Harrison demur-
red and finally refused to make the nomi.
nation of Reid to England. He said he
had selected a man for the place. but
would be willing to give Mr.. Reid some
other mission.
No satisfactory solution of the disagree
ment appears to be in sight. Republi-
can senators privately say there Is great
fun in store for the Democrats unlass the
president can find some way to smooth
Blaine's rufiled feathers. 1t will soun be
known whether Harrison or Blaine is the
biggest man in this administration.

Insulting Proprleties.

Since vas 10 years old there are q
few things that ave always made me
mad, and one was to ask me, tho minute
| mentioned ~npprovingly q mans name,
whether he was married or not. What
earthly difference did 1t make2 And an
other was to have n man change his tone
and name to me when he got married.
Mr.. Brownell talks about the man find
ing the woman treating him differently
when no marries. I assure him that is
not half as asinino Us when the man who
has known me since / was as high as the
table and called me Mollie all my life be-
gins to address me as miss Bawn" the
minute he gets n wife. What did he
mean by calling mt Mollie at all ever, If
it was something that controversies the
rights of his wife? l was not engaged to
him; lie was not my lover. 1 thought we
were tho simplest, matter-of-course old
friends. But, lol It seems there was
something else in it according to his
view, and now l have a right to be In
suited G the past, 1t seems to me. I'd
get n divorce from n man / married that
acted like that.-New York Graphic.

And hope into certainty, is the pleasing
transition through which the mind of the
nervous, dyspeptic invalid passes who
tries a course OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which is alike incompatible and
inimltable. Increased vitality, a gain in
weight, tranquility of the nerves. sound
appetite and sleep are among the bless
ings which it is within the benefcent
power OF this medicine to confer and it
is not surprising that after acquiring this
new dowry OF health the grateful sick
should sometimes utter their praise of the
bitter in terms bordering on extravaganza.
Out of the ~fullness of the heart the
mouth %speaketh," and the proprietors of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have some
times been obliged to suppress these
eulogiums lest they should be accused
of blowing their own trumpet too loud
ly. For constipation, b~illousness, kidney
complaint and incipient rheumatism the
bitters is also a deservedly popular
remedy.

THE DADDY OF GEORGE.
Washington Critic.l


A friend of the senior senator from
Kentucky tells this story: Not long ago
Senator Beck went out TO visit his son,
who lives on a ranch in Wyoming. The
nearest stage station was ten miles from
the place, and he had great difficulty in
finding a conveyance. He announced
himself to several persons as James b.
Beck, United States senator, but no per
son seemed impressed by it, and money
was no object to cart owners. At last he
struck an old fellow who had horses and
a wagon, but who, like all the others, was
not inclined to let them go. The senator
offered him $40 and finally $40. but it was
no use.
ITS very hard" he said: 81 have
not seen my son for a long time. He lives
only ten miles from here and / cannot
get there.
What is your sons manner" asked the
old man.
George Beck" was the reply.
Great Lord p exclaimed the old man,
ARE you George Beck's father? ?"
Yes sir, | am"
well certainly. you can have the team.
| know George Beck and I'll do anything
for his daddy"
The senator drove away rather disguised
with his own fame as a statesman. but
very proud of being trusted because he
was the daddy" Of George.

with direct reference to the codes and

The Washington correspondent of the
Omaha Bee says that army officers are
very much interested in the forthcoming
decision of the second comptroller of the
treasury in relation to the statutes of ac-
cumulative leave in the service. 1t has
generally been the custom to allow officers
at, and especially those stationed at re-
mote frontier posts, to pile up their year
ly leave of one month for four or five
years and then take it in a lump. There
are some officers who, if they had to take
their leave every year, would consume
the thirty days, and more too, in going to
and returning from their stations. 1t was
for this reason they were allowed the
privilege, and this constituted itself a law
which is now on the statute books.
Comptroller Butler now states that these
officers must take their leave in rotation,
and should they do otherwise their full
pay will be suspended against their ac-
cunts. As the law has been in force i N
the army for a number ofyears it remains
to be seen where Comptroller Butler gets
hls authority for making such a wonderful
decision

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader telegraphs his paper
what he terms President Harrison's policy
respecting civil service, gathered from o
remark made by the president in an inter
view with a party OF congressman who
had presented the claims of certain indi
viduals Tor appointments. The president
said he had determined to live up to the
plank relating to civil service reform 1T
the Republican national platform, and
will select men to territorial offices from
citizens of the territory themselves. where
fit persons may be found.

A VALUABLE LAW TREATISE

The importance of advanced litigation
and perhaps the ambition of legal writers
has left the lower field of text book and
treatise writings for justices courts with
but a very scanty literature. Aside from
Swans treatise, for instance, the justice
and his practitioner have but very little OF
value in practice in the inferior courts OF
Wyoming and other western states and
territories However, in Cowdery's Justice
Treatise, which has just been brought out
by the Bancroit-W Whitney company of San
Francisco, the Justice and attorney may
find a modern and carefully prepared
treatise specially designed by its author tc
fill this want in the states and territories
