STATESMAN SYNONYMS.

of Webster once said that "dull'
means sleepy, drowsy, dim, obsure,
blunt. THE STATESMAN has a notion
that the word will bear a little
expansion.
Did you ever lend your best knife
to that boy Of yours, the one who il
bound to be mechanic, if his mothe
is to be believed, the young man who
is always carving boats, making kites,
and who you shrewdly suspect is the
author Ct the various hieroglypic de-
signs you sometimes find carved on
the gate posts2
If you ever did, you will remember
you mechanically opened the blade
and slowly felt its edge with your
thumb when he handed it back to
you. Was it rough and jagged, and
hlunted and beveled2 Of course it
was. What else did you expect2 He
didn't know there was q nail in the
shingle until the knife struck it, and
how was he to know which was best
to sharpen the blade on, the stone
step or that rusty piece of wagon tire
until he had tried: both7 When he
was through with it you didn't have
to go any further to find out what
dull means.
Did you ever send wife and baby to
the coast for the summer and try to
live on in the old deserted home lust
as you did before they went away?
When you came home at night what
palpable loneliness, what a tangible
air of desertion crowded in on all sides
of you; how the silence crept up to
your side and peered over your shoulder
and whispered in your ear, and where
ever you went or whatever you did,
how time hung ON your hands, and
how emphatically you declared that
it was dull all alone here.
Another way to find out what "dull"
means is to go through the state de-
partments ON such day as yesterday
was.

Senator washburne Knows just How
Things Are Going.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-Senator Wash
burne, of Minnesota, who has just re-
turned from Europe, has expressed him
self quite freely in reference to the next
presidential campaign. The senator char
acterizes the recent reports of Secretary
Blaine's i'll health as a conspiracy to kill
Mr.. Blaine politically and physically.
Mr.. Washburne detailed a conversation he
had some time ago with Mr.. Blaine, and
said in that connection: He has always
taken good care of his health. He Is
stronger to day than many men at the age
OF 40 / bekeve he will live for many
years, and live in Health and strength"
Predicts Blaine's Nomination.
In reference to Mr. Blaine's candidacy
for the presidency in 1892, Mr.. Washburne
said: Il don't believe he is a candidate in
the ordinary sense Of candidacy | do be-
lieve Nat he sees as plainly as everybody
else sees that the people of this country
are going to nominate him and elect him
to the presidency in 1890. Nothing can
prevent this happy contamination. He
will he nominated by reclamation. Har-
rison will not be a candidate before the
conve ntion when he sees the unanimous
drift toward Blaine next spring. He will
cordially support Blaine and do all that
he can, in a manner compatible with his
position, to aid in Blaine's election"

In reading over the literary items of
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed Jerks Qredm.' Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
q Recommendation to use DR.. Fierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless. being
a great sufferer from sick headache, I
determined to try them,' and, to my great
joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
AS a pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cas,artic.
Cause no gripping or sickness. Best
Liver Pill ever made. Smallest, Cheap
est Easiest to take. For Constipation,
Indigestion and Bilious Attacks, they
have no equal.

Reciprocity with Venezuela.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-It is stated on
good authority that the reported rejection
by the government of Venezuela of the
reciprocity treaty with the United States
was mistake. The treaty has not been
rejected, but the government of Venezuela
sent it back asking that certain modifica-
tons be made, for the reason that the con
cessions contemplated will decrease the
national revenues at least 80 per cent,
which s more than the government can
afford.

were only four white men left.
Where Was the 'ResponsibiHy:''
They were from n distant part of the

that inasmuch as the people of the county
where the injured woman lived had evaded
the responsibility of the lynching, they
would have nothing to do with it. Ac-

Every possible effort is being made by
the cungyessionalist leaders TO discover
the whereabouts of Balmaceda, but up to
this time they have not succeeded in find

the way of some passage in the Andes. 1t

feat was received the mob broke loose,
and having nothing to fear from the pres
