Washington dispatches indicate that
strong pressure will be brought to bear
upon the Mckinley administration, after
the fourth of March, to bring about such
Il modification of the civil service law as
will enable Senators ana Congressman to
pay at least part of their political debts
by the bestowal of Office on some of their
active and jealous constituents. If some.
thing of the kind is not done the country
will get into such II state of innocuous
desuetude that only the class Of unset
fish patriotic men, to..which Grover Cleve-
land and Teddy Roosevelt belong, can
ever hope for prcferment at the hands of

MIR. Rouss, SUBSTITUTE
Encouraging Progress Made on the Blind
Mans Eyes.

BY the help of y rays, under the treat.
| mcnt Of DR.. David Orr Edison, John +.
! Martin, blind for nine years, can now
distinguish Il color for the first time since
his daily treatment was begun, IL week
before. Martin was able Wednesday to
distinguish that the radiance of the
Crookes tube was "a sort of green'' 1t
is, as fact, of an aEsinthe hue. Only by
slow degrees has Martins optic nerves,
the atrophy of which alone impairs his
vision, been excited to this pitch
Martin is IL substitute for Charles
Broadway Rouss, in the hands of expert.
mentors in search of the 81, 200, 600 the
merchant has offered for the restoration
of his cyesight w hen DIR. Edison first
subjected Martin to the treatment the re-
suit was that Martin simply saw some
thing brighter than was disccrnable by
the faint sense through which for n de-
cade he has been unable to distinguish
day from night. Even that slight differ
ence was achieved but slowly. AS the
treatment was repeated the optic nerve
was gradually stimulated and Martin
saw the brighter light more quickly than
at his first sitting.
Throughout the--course of treatment 50
far Martin has suffered somewhat from
headaches, due mainly to the irritation
of the y rays, which have an effect sim
liar to sunburn. He has uttered no com.
plant though his nose has acquired a
ruddy tint. But DIR. Edison has made II
glass mask which will be put in use for
the first time to-day. Glass was chosen
as among the substances most impervious
TO the y rays, and the mask will be of
semi cylindrical shape, having two rec
tangular apertures for the eyes. These
apertures will be filed with pasteboarcl
coated with tungstate, and there will he
bands to keep it in place.
One of the favorite pastimes of Mr.
Rouss the blind millionaire, lis to throw
money i'll handfuls to small boys in the
streets and listen to their shouts as they
scramble for it. Mr.. Rouss usually
reaches his place of business, which is at
| No. 549 Broadway, every morning at
o'clock. Long before that hour boys
throng the sidewalk in front of his store
and wait for him. Thursday morning he
was more liberal than usual and threw
several handfuls of dimes and quarters to
the lads.-Hagerstown Mail.

The piling up Of money in the banks of
the East, especially in New York city, is
sure to gradually lead to an increase of
business investments followed by more
or less activity in manufactures and trade
Capitalists will not care to have their
money lying idle forever and consequent
ly will be willing to take some risks in
order Ito add to their incomes. This
means business revival and better times
The annual benk reports show vast sums
of idle money stored in their vaults, and
rs these institutions were not designed
for the use OF capital in that way, Il large
part of this surplus is sure to 20 back
into circulation, to the great benefit of
the holders and the American people gen
orally.

WALKER FOR GOVERNOR.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Norfolk Landmark saws: The Repubi-
can leaders in Virginia are beginning to
give serious consideration to the question
of who they shall nominate for governor
this year. Several names have been men
toned, but the general sentiment seems
to drift to General James y. Walker as
the most available man. While General
Walkers resignation of his seat in Con-
gresS might result in the election of IL
Democrat to succeed him, it is thought
by many that he would bc more likely to
be elected than any other person whom
the Republicans could put up. General
Walker is Il courageous man and has !,
strong hold upon the affections of the peo-
pie, despite the fact that he has parted
with most of his old associates in pol
tiles He would poll a big veteran vote
throughout the entire State and it is be-
lieved that many of the sound money
Democrats would support him.

contest the election before Democratic

passed a bill requiring Il contestant for
the office OF governor to give :25, 200

Tillman says while he believes he was

Rev. Mr.. Bulla's address mt the y. NJ.
{. y. hail Sunday afternoon was listened
to by n deeply interested audience, while
the excellent music of Grace Church choir
added much to the pleasure of all in at
tendance. After reading the beautiful
story of Joseph's life the speaker called
the attention of his hearers to the divine
and human in life ana said there was just
rs much necessity for divine Providence
in this life as for n boat to have II pilot.
Nature and life he said are governed by
an endless combination of circumstances,
but Providence is controlling, directing
and working i'll obedience to law. There
was, however, a preparation necessary for
all important work. Hiram Powers be-
gan rs stone cutter and ended as a
sculptor. Our whole life is Il school for
the future. We ought therefore watch
for opportunities; but opportunities are
of no value unless one is prepared to
make use OF them when they come. Jo-
seph's life was IN eminently successful
one because Of its previous preparation.
