It Is Taken as Indicating That the Presf-
dent Wants a Second Term.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 13-There is a
good deal of comment in political circles
over published interview with Secretary
of Agriculture Rusk, who was in New
York last week, and in which he was made
to say that in his opinion president Har-
rison will not only be renominated, but
reelected There is no doubt that he is
the choice of the people, for he has given a
splendid administration and made no mis-
takes"
Its Supposed Significance.
Although it has been understood all
along that the president discourages all
talk having reference to the next election,
this utterance, from one of his confidential
advisors, and cautious speaker to boot,
is taken as indicating that those closest to
the president have already adopted his re-
nomination as part of their programme.
Were this not so, it is said, Gen. Rusk
would not have ventured to make the sug-
gestion that has occasioned so much com
ment and which is regarded as semi-au
thorized.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 13-The presi- =

approval. a bill appropriating $40, 900 for a
public building at Tuscaloosa, Ala. In
his message accompanying the bill, the
president says:
Judging by its postal revenues and by the Of
ficers employed in the office, the postOffice at
Tuscaloosa Is not an important one. 1t has
only one clerk at a salary of $40 a year and no
carriers. The report of the postmaster general
shows that the gross receipts for the year 1889
were s6,579 and the net revenue less than
5000 The annual receipts have only in
creased by 5000 in ten years. The rent now
paid for building having 2 20 square feet
floor space is S215.

would not insist that it must always be
shown that proposed pubic building must
yield an interest on the Investment, but in
the present uncertain state of public revenues
and expenditures resulting from pending and
probable legislation there is, in my opinion,
an absolute necessity that expenditures for
public buildings should be limited to cases
where the publ. needs are very evident and
very imperative. 1t is clear that this is not

boat reached the middle of the stream
the strange young nan suddenly climbed
on the rail and jumped into the river. AS

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they are due to
membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.
Microscopic research, however, has proved this
to be a fact. and the result of this discovery is
that a simple remedy has been formulated where
by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured in from one to three simple
applications made at home by the patient once
In two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an ONT

physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining
this new treatment is sent on receipt Of ten
