Gen. Clayton Vindicated.

Advices from Washington state that Hon. Powell Clayton, ambassa- dor to Mexico, will be retained at his present post Gen. Clayton is said to have met the charges prefer red against him to the entire satiS- faction of the administration. A part of the charges which were given publicity and which it was believed were under consideration at the de- pertinent were never in fact referred to Gen. Clayton. These related to his alleged neglect of the interest of Americans in the Mexican courts. It develops that Gen. Clayton in all he did in this connection carried out the explicit instructions of the de- partment at Washington and every detail of the proceedings was made familiar to the Washington officials as soon as developed The other charge and the only one the general had to meet, was that he had acquir- ed an interest in mining property in Mexico in which Mexican officia $ were interested. This he disposed of to the satisfaction of both the president and Mr. Hay.

An Expert on Drink.

Seved Ribbing. the famous professor OF
medicine at the Swedish University OF
Lrnd, makes these remarkable statements
in concluding an address on one phase OF
the drink curse:
How large per cent. of moral down
falls are caused through drink l am unable
to say, but certainly it is not infrequent
that you hear from many a questioned
youth for an answer, i was somewhat un.
der the influence of liquor Through
drunkenness and in drunkenness one ac.
customs himself to conditions which, un.
der ordinary circumstances, would be re.
ligiously stunned, In course of time the
sense of shame is overcome, and silenced,
and the evil habits are looked upon as an
everyday necessity. The cases when a
young man will in cold-bloodedness and
with a clear head and with decided inten.
tion throw himself into the arms of pros
titution are very seldom in comparison
with those that happen under the influence
cf liquor. An English army physician has
shown fgnratively that sickness in troop
is much less among the total abstainers
than with the balance OF the men. RAMS s
