AN INADEQUATE SUPPLY OF OFFICES

Bonnie Harrison has placed his BOOM
let in the hands of his friends. One OF
them, Mr.. Roots, while in particularly
garraIous NJ cod, has taken the great
American public into his confidence and
unbosomed himself Of the startling
secret that the ex-president has more
than one little state. Vermont solid
for his denominations; that Indiana,
and maybe some other states, are to be
included in the phalanx that is to bear
aloft the Harrisonian headgear in the
next national Republican convention.
Mr.. Roots also submits to the discreet
public of the union one Of the most
touching specimens of General Harrison 5
personal correspondence. III this epistol-
airy gem the late chief magistrate OF the
government, instituted for the purpose Of
transacting public business, EXPIRE ssss his
heartfelt grief at being unable, because
of the scarcity of Offices, to supply each
of his friends, especially those from In
diana, with front seat at the federal pie
counter.
1t is apparent from the sorrowful strain
of his letter, as published in yesterdays
telegraphic columns OF The Herald. that
the paucity of official stools provided by
the parsimonious American people had
left multitudinous host of Benjamin s
chums without place to SIT. This con-
seriousness of the remorseless and gnaw-
ing hunger of large and healthy part of
the population of the Hoosicr common
wealth, did. according TO the ex-presi-
dents pathetic confession, prove the
chief burden of this place" (the presi-
dency). The desire Of his administration
to add Hawaii TO tn, United States in the
light of this epistle is now lucidly ex-
planned. General Harrison felt the nead
of more offices, in order that the pressing
needs Of his jobless compatrots 10 ght be
satisied.
i A careful and disinterested, consldera-
tion of this autograph production Of the
descendant of his grandfather will con-
vince anyone of the pnlanthropic spirit
that Eliminated the writer. 1t evinces
a most accurate conception of the nature
OF public office, and at one blow annihil-
ates the popular delasion that public
Office is public trust" According to
the Harrisonian Gods, public office Is a
private perquisite.
The letter will make most excellent
platform for the general when he next
makes the race fer the presidency. and

E1- GOrernor Peck Says the Sitrer Men
Haze Little Strength.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Nav 17.-George F.
Peck, recent Democratic Governor of Wis
consin, is at the Holland House. He is
here on private business, and expects to re-
main for day or two. Speaking of the
condition of his State he said: sYou see a
good deal printed in the papers in the East
about Wisconsin being torn wide open on
the silver question. Those reports were
perhaps true about month ago, but con-
ditions are very different to-day. The
bubble has burst and the farmers and mer-
chants are thinking for themselves, and
this thought has not done much for silver.
"When the movement first started I saw
lot of men who expected to make political
capital out of the movement. Now. DO
litical ambition is all right, perhaps, but
the men who have fiocked to the silver
standard do not think did it on account
of conviction, but through the idea of gain
ing political chances. One month ago had
an election taken place with silver ticket
in the field l believe it would have swept
the country. To-day the silverites have
only scant following. Suppose man
had been elected on silver ticket, he
would hate himself all through his term of
office, for he would know very we'll that he
could not deliver the goods Prosperity
is returning and with it better under
standing of the financial questions of the
day. / say confidently that Wisconsin is
securely within the ranks of a sound cur
rency and nothing can shake her ale

Reno, Nevada. give you the story of des-
perate man, and it is authenticated by several
well-known citizens OF this city. Just after
the great decline in silver Mr.. James T. Simp-
son of this place began to show signs of COM
plete mental and physical exhaustion The
doctors were called in. They felt his pulse and
did what they could for him, still poor Simp-
son lay in a state of coma. He scarcely recog-
nlzed his friends. Every aid that could have
been possibly given to this poor man was. Still
he declined. His face became colorless, circu-
lation was poor, his appetite gone. He could
not or would not take solid food.
While in this condition it was deemed neces-
sary to inject beef into his bowels in order that
the body might receive some nourishment.
Various proprietary remedies were resorted
to and the last of the remedies was what is
known as the California remedy joys Vegeta :
BILE sarsaparilla. This was given to Mr. Simp-
son In very small quantities, some of which he
would swallow, other portions were refused
From the earliest beginning of the use of this
medicine his bowels began to move and he
showed some signs of recognition. Joys Vege-
table Sarsaparilla was given to him daily, and
1t is said that Simpson recovered enough to eat
solid food in ABOUT two weeks. As this is a
California remedy it is of interest to the people
to know that it is recognized up here as
valuable household purifier. / asked several
of the leading druggists what they thought of
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and they assured
me that it was a fayorite prescription amcng
men and women.
They say it is ready laxative and that effect
is noticed from the very first. Hundreds of
bottles are now being sold. One druggist sold
a gross OF joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla in a

that this country was for eighty-one years

The country fought the War of 1872, the
Mexican War and the War of the Re-

knavish and speculative. By pronouncing

Lake has done herself proud in the matter

of much pleasure after merry week in the

The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the sessions and at this writ.

general verdict is to the effect that a new
day has dawned for the great cause OF
silver.
The correspondent of the CALL met Gov
ernor Richards at the Knutsford this even

delegates together, the reporter asked him
what was his opinion as to the results OF
the conference. Governor Richards re-
piled:

"They may not be determined for some
time, but as you know the executive COM

work will show most fully the worth of the
conference to the silver cause.
"The conference itself was called for the
sole purpose of devising ways and means
for the disseminating in the East of litera-

which was outlined in the beginning has
been successfully accomplished, so / can
