The Presidents message has partisan signit-

party for long-continued corruption in admins.

The following are the Presidents references to
land and postal frauds and Indian matters:

juries, thousands of acres of the public domain,
embracing lands of different character and extend

been dishonesty acquired
by similar means-that is, through frauds for
gcries. and pcrjurics, and by shameless briberies-
the laws relating to the proper conduct of the public
service in general and to the due administration of
the Post-Office Department have been VIGOROUSLY
violated.
"Thc I..dan agents should not be dependent for
their appointment or tenure of office upon consider

The first of these quotations adds the Presidents
condemnation to the publics dcnuncaton of his
own party's conduct of Government land sales. The
second is contraction Of the now famous appendix
to the Brstow report. The third is remarkable for
its inconsistencc with the others.

The admission of venality and abuses in I'M,

it emanates from the White House. That the words
Of the President can purge the party is rather more
than an ordinary man can believe. The thing is

WHAT COULD WE DO?

When Circuit Attorney Folk launched his scnsa-
tionat Doodle exposures and struck hard at pet
epolsmen Of the Republican machine, the Globe
spoke its sympathy with the gang. When Health
Commissioner Simon submitted charges of grating
against Republican employees of the city and assert
cd that the city had been cheated for years in the
eleeinosynary Institutions the Globe again came
to the defense Of the gang and denounced the ad-
mlnistration antirefOrm.
This, says the Globe is "What-could-w edo -
government. 'tWhat could we do:" Is, undoubtedly,
the question that the administration asks itself as
It looks back two years at the enormous deficit
which the Republican-nachine administration had
made In the city treasury; at the low collections;
at the high salaries; Mt the grating; ut the hood
ling; at the waste and at the hundred malpractces
which had given the city inglorious reputation.
The administration has demonstrated what it can
do. 1t has wiped out the deficit; It has built ad-
dons to the eleemosynary institutions; It has pur-
chased buildings for hospital purposes and for the
Fire Department; 1t has extended the water-supply
service; It is ready to furnish clear water within
month; it has made improvements to the Water
works; 1t has increased the revenue; It has built
streets and sewers; it has improved the laws it has
made high standard for public business; 1t has
turned sposmen out of public Office; It has exposed
graft and 1t is accomplishing actual reform in all
directions
lt.fs only for five months that the present admin.
istEafton has had control Of the Health Department
Yet remarkable Change for the better has already
llecn affected. II the Globe desires to protect and
defend the former employees. among them lcpublic
ana who are accused OF grating. It may do With
IMMUNITY and may dcfamc the reform officials.

he finds that American women, while
they marry foreign diplomats, never
cease working for the interests of the
land of their first affections.
He takes the American woman seri-

England Mrs. Chamberlain and Lady
Curzon WELD immense influence. In
France the wives of Ribot and DIS
tournelles de Constant are called
femmes de government of the future,
for Ribot is a probable premier and:
Constant a coming minister of for

While the writer admits the Ameri-
can women have acquired influential
social positions abroad through bril-
liant marriages, he does not consider
all such unions dangerous. But the
new aspirations toward diplomatic al
iances fill him with alarm, as Ameri-
can women now know the secrets of in

A friend of the president of the United
States, he siys, recently said: DO

This mysterious speech, the writer
says, is explained when one remem-
bers that the wives of the English,
French and German ambassadors, the
three diplomats concerned in the Ven
ezuelan affair at Washington, are all
American women.
If, the writer continues, one were to
make a list of all the American women
married to attaches and minor govern
ment officials with a future before
them in foreign countries, one would
be astonished. He is more alarmed at
the entry Of American women into in

THE HOT-WATER CURE.
Nothing Sc Promptly Cuts Short Sore
Throat or Serious ConEestion
OF the Lungs.

Hot water is not only = relief for
many ills, but from it's quick applica-
ton many cures are effected. 1t is SO
easy to obtain hot water in these days
CT gas ranges that many a severe il
ness may be averted if the application
is only given in time. B
There is nothing so promptly cuts
short congestion Of the lungs or sore
throat as hot water. The great thing
is to apply it in time, and then to be
thorough in the application.
For a toothache or neuralgia hot
water will usually afford prompt relief.
A towel folded several times and
dipped into. scalding hot water, and
then ,wrung out, should be laid upon
the painful part. The same treatment
acts like magic in applying the heated
towel to the stomach for collie.
Headaches most always yield to
the simultaneous application of hot
water to the feet and back of the
neck ,@ 80
A soft pack is the most effective
method known for alternating intiam,;
nation and getting rid or irritation in

night piece of flannel should be APP
piled. This flannel should be saturat-
ed in brine and then wrapped around
the affected joint or joints. The fan

be kept on all night.-Cincinnati En-
