WAHlNGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondcnt,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 3.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. :.
Secretary Foster will this week
so to Ohio for q short vacation if
nothing unexpected turns up to
keep him here. Notwithstanding
his announced determination at
the time he entered the cabinet
not TO follow the example OF his
illustrious predecessor and work
himself to death, the work and re-
sponsibility of being at the head
of our financial system Is gradual
ly wearing The flesh from his
rosund figure. The fact of the
matter is that as at present consti-
tuted there is too much work con-
nected with the treasury depart
ment for any one man to attempt
to direct unless be has 3 constitu-
ton that can stand about twenty
hours work a dsy;there are several
important hureaux now under that
department that the Secretary of
the Treasury should bs relieved
of in order that he might devote
his entire attention to stricly
financial matters. There is no
sense in killing more good men
before making the change, and
there is little doubt that overwork
in that office killed secretaries
Folger, Manning and Window
within the last ten years.
Indian Commissioner Morgan
will spend bis vacation in Europe.
The controversy which has existed
between his office and the Catho-
lie bureau of missions has ended
satisfactorily to all concerned.
deputy Commissioner Belt, who
is in charge during the commits
siorer's absence, said on the sub
iect: There is perfect under
standing between Cardinal Glib
bons, Archbishop ireland, and
Commissioner Morgan, and the
outcome of the interview between
the last two named was the estab-
fishing of the most cordial rela-
tions. There seemed to be al
idea existing that Commissioner
Morgan WAS opposed to the Cath-
lie church and its schools. when
this was not the case, as was evil
denced by the work OF this depart
ment.
Eleven hundred clerks were dis,
missed from the Census Office last
Friday because the work upon
which they were engaged had
been completed. Another big
discharge Will take place this
month for the same reason.

WHAT TAKES THEM OFF /?

The Alarming Increase of Pneumonia
and What 1t Means-ssThe ssStitch In
Time.S
Scarcely day passes that one does not hear
of men and women whom we picture as the
perfection of health and strength being strick-
en- down by the terrible disease, pneumonia
Perhaps the greatest cause Of pneumonia in
this country is the extreme difference in tenn.
perature between the interiors of offices and
homes and the outside air. So long as people
consider it necessary for their comfort to
maintain a hot-house temperature indoors,
when the mercury is very low outside, SO long
will pneumonia find Victims
The greatest care and prompt measures
should be taken upon the first approach of the
slightest symptoms of pneumonia. If you
have tickling in the throat a tightness in the
chest, q pain in the head, chilly feeling. or
pains throughout the body, act promptly act
wisely-bring about an immediate reaction
This can sometimes be accomplished by quick
and wastes the strength, which should be hus-
banded. A far better plan is to take pure
and strong stimulant which will tend to
eqlalize the circulation, check congestion and
restore to health. There are many forms of
stimulation, but only one that can be recoIo-
menGed-that is Dufys Pure Malt Whisky.
This is the only medicinal whisky upon the
market, and its purity and power are proven
by its popularity. 1t has saved the lives of
for pneumonia than any discovery of modern
science, and it stands, as it deserves to stand.
at the head of medicinal stimuiants of the
present day.

give artificial value to metal, the worth
of which is measured by more highly
valued ore the world around. That is to
say, we buy silver bullion at its gold
value and issue notes upon the gold value
of silver bullion. 1t is impossible to
break down the value of gold by any sort
of silver legislation. We have 5000, ZOO, 900
of gold in the country, says the Secretary
of the Treasury. How can any man be-
lieye that free coinage OF silver viii make
gold worth only dollar for dollar the
same as silver, as an exchange for the
poorer metal? If any one possessed all
that gold would he part with 1t for silver?
Senator Sherman put it forcibly when he
said to the Senate that the erection of the
policy of free coinage into law will
broaden the gap between the two metals
by a law as infallible as the law of gravi-
tation. When that is done the volume of
the currency will really be decreased, be-
cause when the gap broadens the effect
will be to drive out gold and supplement
it with silver, since by no law can the
value of a grain Of silver or of gold be
fixed, and hence when the silver stand
ard is erected the more precious metal
viii be boarded or shipped away.

SUPERIOR JUDGEP. w. KEYsER of Yuba
is dead. Beginning in 1860, and with a
lapse of only three years, in which he was
out Of the State, Judge Keyser occupied
the County, District or Superior bench for
period Of oftwenty-seven years in Yuba.
Though he was a political partisan, such
was the faith OF the people in him, and the
high character of the HAN, that he was
chosen to the bench year after year by the
people without opposition, both parties
uniting in indorsing him. Such a record
is worthy of more than passing notice. It
testifies in the most emphatic manner to
his high judicial qualification, to the true
balance Of his mind, the profound regard
he had for even-handed justice, and to his
sterling integrity. The lives of such
judges adorn the bench, and tend strongly
to elevate it and inspire among the people
the respect that every tribunal by its con-
duct should command.
