THAT Secretary Gresham intends to be the actual head of his department was proven by his promptness in de- manding the resignation of Dr F. O St Clair, who has been chief of the consul lar bureau under the last three admin istrations, for having withheld certain information concerning United States consul from the secretary. There are a number of old bureau chiefs in the other departments who deserve to be made to walk the plank for the same reason. These men have been in office so long that they have arrogated to themselves authority which belongs only to the head of the department, and their dismissal would be for the good of the service in more respects than one. In fact, there are few men who can re- main in a responsible government office for long term of years without for getting that they are servants, instead of masters. New men and new meth ods are wanted in every branch of the government service, as must soon be- come apparent to every member of the cabinet who examines into the details of his department, and the indications are that that is now being more thoroughly done than ever before.

 KANSAS CITY, Mo. April 1.-An airshil which, its owner says, will surely fly, ant which will be entirely different from al. heretofore placed on the market, is bein built here, and will be sent to the World, Fair.

 The machine will be 60 feet long and 20 feet wide. In appearance it will be muct

 To assist in keeping the ship suspended in midair there will be a large cigar shaped buoyancy chamber of vanished linen filled with hydrogen gas. Underneath will be suspended the car, which will con tain the steering and propelling apparatus and in which there will be room for three persons.
 The weight of the car and 40- foot kee will maintain the ships equilibrium. Or each side of the car will be a wing divided into four sections.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND repudiates the statement that editors will get no offices because he did not want to be suspected of subsidizing the press. If an editor should happen to exercise his soverign right as an American citizen and be- come a candidate for office, the fact that he has been teaching the doctrine of democracy should be counted in his favor and not against him. It would not do for Mir Cleveland to destroy the ladder on which he climbed to fame and power. The strongest lever of dem- ocracy in this country is the press. It has been conducting campaigns of edu- cation for many years, and combating esteemed republican contemporaries, whese editors have been feeding at the public crib. Now that the land of promise is reached, let the men who wrote Grover into power have a share of the spells. In this connection let us say, however, that we speak upon gen. eral principles. The editors of the DEM ocRAT are not looking for office.

THE RUIN STILL GOES ON
New Workers Cleaning Out
 the Croton Watershed.
A VILLAGE TO BE MOVED AWAY.

Brookside Hotel at KenSico Lake Eemoi-
 ished Commissioner DaIy's Tout of In-
 spection-No Opposition OTered-Pretty
 Carmel Must go to the HiIIsides.
 BREwsTERs, N. Y. April 1.-The work of destroying for New York City is still being carried on throughout the Gro ton watershed. party of men started this morning from White Plains for Ken sico lake where they have been busily en- gagged destroying th Brookside Hotel.
 Contrary to expectation, Commissioner Daly met with no opposition when he ar rived here yesterday on his tour of inspec- tion of the Croton watershed. It was the last day of this campaign, so the party started early. On the way spots of es, pecial contamination were pointed out at Katonah and Purdy's Station. In the case of the former the whole village may have to be wiped out.
 The village empties all its drainage into the river direct. At Croton Falls, also there is foulness. The brass foundry of George Juengst is built upon a Branch Creek, which flows into the Croton at this point. It pol lutes the water for half a mile.
 The party found the condition of filth here even worse than they had expected although it is well known that this is the pest hole of the Croton watershed.
 The local board of health met the party at the station and accompanied them on their tour of inspection.
 The first thing encountered was the big pipe which dumps all the sewage of the town into Tonetta brook, which carries it only a short distance before passing it into the Croton river. The two large hotels of the place also have direct sewer connection with the brook.
 Orders were issued that the owners of all the land on the east side of the brook be notified that the State would acquire their property, and that if they had any thing to say about it they could come to the hearing which is to be he'll in New York on April 6.
 On the hillside the people were told to repair their outhouses, drains. vaults hnd cesspools. These houses were not within the prescribed 250 feet of the water. After visiting the New York condensed milk factory and receiving promise that the company would cooperate with the city in making a proper drainage system, 8 visit to Carmel was made. Carmel is pretty village, but it is SC built around Geneva lake that almost tn, whole place will have to be moved up on the hills.
 Counsel Dykman, in his report, says that his examination of the various villages discloses the existence of llrge number of fragrant nuisanceS contiguouSt t. New York's water supply.
 It is estimated that these nuis;lnces numbering probably over 1,00O will bt removed within 30 days.

AN ALDERMAN'S OPINION.

lCOPYl
 This is to certify that I have used Saw yer's Dandeiion Compound as blood pu- ri6er and appetizing tonic with the very best result. I have never before given my testimonial for any patent medicine, from the fact that I had little faith in them. For a long time I have been troubled with chronic constipation, re- sulting in loss of appetite and sick head ache, and most of the time felt miserable. After trying sarsaparillas, pills and many other remedies, with no good results, l was induced by friend to take Sawyer's Dandelion Compound. Before the first bottle was taken felt like new man, all trouble from constipation vanished, headache disappeared, and instead of hay ing an appetite like an invalid, I ate lihe a 'longshoreman. I take great pride in recommending this remedy to my friends and the public in general as splendid family medicine. I keep it on hand all the time. giving it to my children with good results, aud find it wonderful spring tonic. In time of peace prepare for war, and the best ammunition you can have with which to battle against disease and keep the organs in normal condition is Sawyer's Dandelion Compound

SECRETARY HoKE SMITH is giving the bureau chiefs of the interior department some new ideas about the servIce they owe the government. Instead of their leaving the department daily at o'clock, as the ordinary clerks do, and as they have been in the habit of doing, they are compelled to remain until o'clock, the additional hour being de. voted to a conference with the secretary on the current business before their several bureaus. Their is some kicking among the chiefs, but as most of them are republicans it is done very quietly. Secretary Smith has already earned the sobriquet of the "steam engine" among the employees of his department.

JUST WHAT THEY SAY.
Their Remarks Exactly as They
 Made Them.
What the Evidence of Two Such Prom
 inent Ladies Means.

And Just How Far It Will Influence You
 in Making Up Your Mind.
 In court the truthful evidence is given to enable the judge and jury to make up their mind. So in all things you are guided by the indisputable evil dence.
 At this season of the year many are ailing and nearly everybody needs a spring medicine. Now it is the truthful evidence of others who have been cured which should cause you to make up your mind to use Dr Greene's Nervura blood and Enerve remedy. Because it cures. Here is the proof.
 Mrs S. M. Hardy of East Wilton, Maine, says:
 "I was terribly weak, nervous and prostrated. took Dr Greene's Neryura blood and nerve remedy, and the effect was wonderful. It stilled my nerves so I can sleep soundly, and the trembling
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-04-01

nerve remedy saved my life."
 Is not this evidence enough that it cures? Do not these cures and the thousands of others constantly being re- ported absolutely prove that Dr Greene's Nervura blood. and nerve remedy is the great invigorator of the blood, the great strengthener of the nerves-the restorer in fact, of health and strength? It is prescribed by doctors and recommended and sold by druggists as the greatest and best spring medicine. Now IS the time you need it and now is the time to take it.
 It is purely vegetable and harmless. Indeed, it is the discovery of the well known physician, Dr. Greene of 35 w. 14th street, New York, the most success full specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases. He can be consulted free, personally or by letter.
