LEAFS Letter to the President.

The letter which Henry Charles Lea, OF
Philadelphia, addressed to the President a
day or two ago, and which was printed on
| Thursday, calls attention in the most en-
phatic way to the growing unpopuIarity OF
the President with the better elements OF
| his party. The Immediate cause of Mr..
LEAFS letter was the Presidents refusal to ap.
point competent and worthy man post
master at Pittsburg, Pa, on the recon-
mendation of Congressman Dazell, because
Senator Quay wanted the office for friend
of his. Mr. Lea, in his letter, refers to the
fact that notwithstanding the scandaIous
charges which a prominent newspaper
brought against Senator Quay a couple of
weeks ago-charges which Mr. Quay has
not attempted to deny-the President has
made that senator the political boss of
Pennsylvania and permits him to dictate
all of the appointments to which that state
Is entitled.
In the course of his letter Mr.. Lea, who
by the way was strong supporter of Gen.
Harrison in the last presidential election,
says: Look back now and reflect upon
your work. You have sedulously devoted
yourself to the distribution of patronage; ,
you have turned out nearly 40 900 demo-
cratic office-holders, and in this ignoble
business you have filed vacancies thus
made by giving recognition to the worst
element in the party. You have thus
degraded 1t to the lowest level,
JOYS the public confidence, and
its interest, as well as that of the nation,
demands its publication by defeat You
have earned for it the denunciation of the
Hebrew prophet: The heads thereof Judge
for reward, and the priests thereof teach
for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for
money; yet will they lean upon the Lord
and say: Is not the Lord among us. none
evil can come among us. Therefore shall
Zion for your sake be plowed as field, and
Jeru'alem shall become heaps Bus it
needs no prophet to foretell the result"
Mr.. Lea tells the President that in enter
ing into political partnership with Senator
Quay he must share the losseJ as we'll as the
gains OF the venture, and he expresses the
opinion that every citizen of the land must
feel the smirch inflicted upon the chief
magistracy of the nation by this partner
ship
OF course Mr.. Lea advises the President
TO sever his connection with Senator Quay.
but it is quite certain that the President will
do nothing of the kind. Did not Senator
Quay elect himG What prospect Of success
would he have had if Mr. Wanamaker
and other rich men had not raised
a vast sum of money and
turned it over to Quay and Dudley to be
used where it would do the most good! 1t
is true that the President refuses to have
anything to do with Dudley, but then Dud-
ley is not senator, and had the misfortune
to leave his tracks uncovered. Senator
Quay is much shrewder than Dudley, and,
besides, the President could not very we'll
get along without him, and does not dare
to break with him. The Harrison-Quay
partnership will continue though thous-
and men like Mr.. Lea should write letters
condemning it.

Illinois Shame.

lt is not stating news to say that more
divorces are granted in Illinois than IN any
other state, and that Chicagoi is the great di-
vorce center of the country. In the state
more than 5000 divorces are granted annu
ally, and much the greater part of them are
granted in Chicago. Anybody who has
lived in Chicago year can secure a divorce
almost for the asking. The judges of the
divorce courts are not to blame for this
They are, as a general thing, very
careful that no person who
is not entitled to a divorce under
the laws of the state shall receive one. but
the laws are SO loose that about all the
judges can do is to make sure, if possible,
that there is no collision or perjury. AS
an instance of the extent to which this
evil is carried man namsd John Harvey.
having left his wife for awhile ossensibly
upon business, sued for divorce, upon the
ground that she had deserted him, and.
having procured it, married another
woman, from whom III turn he was
divorced, and the same thing happened in
the cases of two other women. Only few
months elapsed between his first aad his
last marriage, and his first wife did not
know that he had secured divorce
or course the eff sct of all this is very
bad. Marriage is looked upon by many as
| a contract to be broken at will, and hasty
and ill-advised unions are very frequent 1t
is strange that such state of affairs is
allowed to exist, and yet public ssnti nent
in Illinois seems to be in favor of making
divorce easier. The last effort to begin
reform was made in the spring of 1889.
Judge Horton drew up bill providing that
in divorce cases, when one party to the
action was absent, the court should appoint
a lawyer to represent the absent party, aud
that in cases of divorce grated it should be
discretionary with the judge to prohibit the
offending party from marrying again in
the state. The legislature defeated it oy an
overwhelming majority, and since then
divorce cases have been more numerous
than ever.
This blotupon Illinois ought to be speedily
wiped out, but the people of that state don't
realize that it is disgrace to them.

Only a Lit @ Mellow

Private Allen the humorous member al
the House, says the New York Tribune. was
entertaining a group of friends the other
night. in one of the hotel lobbies, when the
subject of five minutes debate in the House
happened to come up
Il was very mucn amused" said Mr. Allen.
when Gen. Spinola OF New York, in a recent
rough and tumble debate on the floor incl
dentally remarked:
. I see my young friend over there smiles.
The discussion was on war matters and pen
SionS. and Representative Wilson of the state
of Washington, thinking that the New Yorker
meant to convey the impression that he (Wilson)
was too young to have been in the service, arose
to correct the statement. Gen. Spnola then
said that he was not referring to Wilson, but to
the gentleman from Massachusetts with the
Shakespeareau forehead. That brought Mr..
Morse OF Massachusetts TO his feet, wbereupon
Gen. Spinola had to tell him that he, too, was
mistaken, as he had referred to Representative
Greenhalge Of the Bay state.

effects. Nine-tenths OF all deaths resulting are
from pneumonia. What is pneumonia 1t is
sudden stoppage and filing up Of the lungs.
Thick, heavy, poisonous mucous gets into the
air-cells and prevents breathing. They clog
up quickly and death ensues. The only salvation
IS 70 keep the lungs working, and thus throw of
this terrible mucous. There is only one way in
which this can BE- done, and that is by stimulate
ing them. Under the influence of a proper
amount of pure whiskey the lungs draw in
deep, full breaths and throw out the poisonous
air each time 1t is exhaled
But while this is true, and whiskey mas saved
more lives than any other known remedy, if it
is not pure whiskey, it is liable to have bad
effect. If it contains fusel oil, headache or a
foul tongue will be the result. On the other
hand, when an absolutely pure whiskey like
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is used, no i'll effects

The legislature of Massachusetts has
passed law which makes a working day
nine hours. The workingmen wanted it
made eight, but it was thought best for the
Interests of employer and employee to make
it nine, and try that for awhile. To make
eight hours count for a day, to go into
effect at once, would greatly injure those
contractors who have entered into con-
tracts under the present system. This is
one of the reforms that must necessarily be
introduced gradually
