A report from Washington says Sen
a.or Pugh. Of Alabama, is writing eve
ry day to Democrats who have applied to
him for his endorsement to their intend
ed applications for Office under the State
Department. To all such requests Mr.
Pugh writes an elaborate letter in reply
asking to be excused from humiliating
himself by applying to a Republican
Secretary of State for he removal of Re-
publican Office holders to make room for
Democrats. Senator Pugh closes his
caustic letter by saying that since DEM
Ocra &c President has seen ct 20 choose a
Republican for the chief place ip his Cab
met, it is not likely that he, Demo
cratic Senator from the sovereign State
of Alabama, will place his foot across the
threshold of the Department of State for
the next four years. The announce
ment that Mr. Pugh is writing letters Of
this character ciused a great deal Of
subdued aud awe struck comment in the
Democratic cloak-room, and it is said
that there are other Democratic Sena-
tors who will follow MIR. Pugh's example.

1t is proper that the clerk be allowed
fee for taxing the costs in "any pro-

time and trouble to do it; but stronger
reason for paying him is because the

Americas Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY.

Said an eminent English scientist recently:
"The danger that confronts the great Ameri-
can people to-day is not the possible adop.
ton of q wrong financial policy for the
nation, or the spread of socialism, or the
increase of corruption among public men.
All these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease-I had almost said national
crime of overwork. The mad rush for
wealth is set at a killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.
You are likely to be one Of the victims !
How do we know? Because it is the excep-
tl0n TO find a man or woman of adult age in
perfect health. Nervous Disorders are
spreading with fearful rapidly. Among the
symptoms, are-Backache, Biliousness, Cold
Hands and Feet, Dizziness, Hot Flashes,
Fluttering Sensation, Painting, Headache,
Hysteria, Irritability Of the Heart, Melan.
