From Our Regular Correspondent

Washington, April z, 1898.
Will Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle
retire from the cabinet? If. that ques-
tiou has been asked once this week It has
been asked ten thousand times. and the
reason is not difficult to locate, although
to tell the truth no one expected family
jars in the administration before the
time usually allotted for the honeymoon
had fairly expired. These two secretaries
are the only men of proven strength and
individuality in the cabinet, and the pre-
dIction was freely made by democrats as
well as republicans, when they first ac-
cepted their present positions that 1t
was only question of time when they
would revolt. Well they haven't ex-
actly revolted. but they have reached the
stage of mind which is next door to open
revolt-they regret having joined the
cabinet, and any day one or both OF them
may tender their designations, unless
they are treated little more like adj
visors, instead of clerks, by Mr.. Cleve-
land, and that isn't at all probable. 1t
is well nigh certain that if these two men
could have back the positions they gave
up to enter the cabinet that they would
be very lively in getting out of their very
unpleasant situation. Indeed. Mrs. Car
Isle has not hesitated to say as much
concerning her husband. Secretary Car
isles pride keeps his mouth shut; he
entered the cabinet against the wishes
and protests of his friends, and as his
wife says,"is trying to grin and bear it. !"
SECRETARY Gresham's temper, which often
gets the best of him, is responsible for
the condition Of his mind having become
known to some of his friends, and friends,
even The best of them, will talk, you
know.
Those who thought, or at least pre-
tended to think that the Dames of LiE-
coin and Grant would cause the present
administration to allow Hon. Robert
Lincoln to continue as United States
minister to Great Britain and Col. Fred.
d. Grant as minister to Austria now
know better. Ex-Secretary Bayard.
who stands and always has stood for
everything that was opposed to what
Lincoln and Grant stood for, succeeds the
first and becomes the first American
ambassador, and Judge Bartlett Trip.
of South Dakota, who first demanded
the position of United States land COM
missioner as reward for the part he took
in sending Senator Roach to the United
States senate from North Dakota, the
latter. So much for democratic venera-
tion for the names of Lincoln and Grant,
1t is now stated that the administra-
tion is going to have a financial bill as
well as a tariff bill, and that 7. H. Eek
els. of Ottawa, ILL.,, who was this week
nominated comptroller of the currency,
is the man who is to prepare it Mr..
Eckels, who is here, admits that he
knows nothing about finance, having
given all his time to the practice of law,
and members of the senate committee on
hhane. to which his nomination was re-
ferred, do not like the idea of a man
without financial experience being put
into such an important position, al
though they make a favorable report, be-
cause of the otherwise good reputation
OF Mr.. Eckels.

mother will be greatly missed by the
children, who are all well advanced
in years. The separation will be short,
and the future eternal home will be long

General Harrison appears to have
known better than sume of his critics did
what he was doing when he made
Judge Jackson. of Tennessee. justice of
the United States supreme court. This
week Justice Jackson handed down an
opinion in decision that gave the
states right doctrine as hard a single
blow as it ever received. The decision
was that state courts may try prisoner
brought by requisition from another
state on charges other than those set
forth in the requisition papers; that
states do not stand towards each other
as independent foreign nations do. their
sovereignty being limited by the fedora!
constitution.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has made one
appointment, at least, which will add
strength to his administration, and that
too, for a very important position.
Judge William Lochren. as commissioner
of pensions will administer the office in a
manner that will give universal satisfac-
ton. except possibly in individual cases.
His military record is admirable, and
every deserving pensioner will be met
with the fullest sympathy; his judicial
training is such that he will bring to
bear the highest type of equitable judg-
ment into the affairs of the office. The
only class who have any occasion to
fear the action of the pension bureau
under him will be those who have or
seek pensions to which they are not
Justly entitled.

which put me down 'bedfast, for nearly year.

Piricl1ed.

A gang of burglars were operating in
Osakis and Alexandria this week, and
several business men in those places
were sufferers from their depredations.
On Monday night at about the same
time that the robbery occurred here,
hardware store in Osakis was broken in-
to. and considerable small change, to-
gether with a half dozen revolvers and
some drills, chisels, ETC., were stolen.
The thieves then went to Alexandria,
and on Tuesday night they burg1arized
the post-ofice, compelling the assistant
postmaster. who was sleeping ina the
building, to deliver over the cash ON
hand. together with several rolls of
postage stamps with which they es-
capped. The stamps were found the next
day at Geneva Beach, having been dis
carded by the thieves. By this time the
authorities in Osakis and Alexandria
had obtained traces of them, and they
were followed to this city anu captured
on Wednesday night while in room
at the Lakeshore House. Out of the
5000 stolen from the Alexandra post
Office, $164.05 was recovered, together
with the revolvers and some of the mon
ey secured at Osakis. Another bundle Of
small change, tied up in handkerchief, !
was found ~ Henry Diebel near the 1o- |
tel, being thrown out OF the window
by the thieves before their arrest. |
Their captors, Messrs. ]. S. Lampman,
of Alexandria and B. w. Smith and /. L.
champlin, of Osakis, took the three
men to Alexandria this morning and
lodged them in Jail to await examina-
ton. It is not thought that they are in
any way connected with the gang that
the Noythern Pacific depot
at this place on Monday night.

Burglary.

This city has always enjoyed remark
able immunity from fragrant crimes, but
the exception occurred on Monday
night, when the safe at the Northern
Pacific depot was blown open, and a
dozen dollars worth of cheap watches
were stolen. The spindle which connects
the dial knob with the lock was driven
out and powder introduced in sufficient
quantity to blow the safe door in pieces.
The safe contained no money, the only
articles of value being three cheap watch
es which had been received by express, a
dozen or more thousand mile tickets and
a book of express orders. together with
some valuable papers belonging to Mr..
Mann, the agent. Nothing was taken,
however, except the c. o. D. express
packages to the value above indicated.
The fact that the tickets and blank ex-
press orders were not taken would indi-
cate that it was not professional work,
The tools used were a heavy hammer,
bit stick, chisel and cold chisel, stolen
from the shops of Schulke & Clay. 1t is
a rernai kable fact that there have been
four similar robberies in this::city-twice
at the lumber Office OF v. A. Whipple and
once before in the Northern Pacific
depot. and every time the tools were
taken from the same place, indicating
that it was a person familiar with the
city. Another remarkable feature is that
the beer warehouse was broken into on
the same night of the last Whipple rob-
berry and again on Monday evening, and
a quantity of bottled beer stolen The
robbers left glass flask in which they
evidently had powder, and an old cot
ton handkerchief. These are the only
clues to the perpetrators. Entrance was
gained to the depot by prying open
window, and the exit was made through
a door. The contents of the Office were
not molested, and the explosion in no
way affected anything but the safe door.

The Spring.


OF all seasons in the year. is the one for
making radical changes in regard to
health. During the winter, the system
becomes to a certain extent clogged with
waste, and the blood loaded with i'm
purities. owing to lack of exercise, close
confinement in poorly ventilated shops
and homes, and other causes. This is
the cause of the dull. sluggish, tired feel
ing so general at this season. and which
must be overcome, or the health may be
entirely broken down. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla has attained the greatest populari-
ty all over the country as the favorite
spring medicine. 1t expels the accumu-
lation ofimpurities through the bowels,
kidneys, liver. lungs and skin, gives to
the blood the purity and quality necessa-
ry to good health and overcomes that
tired feeling.
