It is said that there is not another class
of persons in the country, of equal num

lottery tickets as Washington depart

would lie well to keep an eye on those who
are entrusted with public funds. Tho
Burnside defalcation shows that it is

The Republicans at Chicago have been
disposed to show some little interest in
the Irish vote. Blaine, Arthur, and
nearly all the candidates are said to be
of Irish extraction, but from the ovation
the convention has given the colored
brethren they seem to be much more con
cerned about the assent of the negro to
their ambitious views than they are
proud of their Irish descent.
The colored Southern Republicans ap
pear to be the heroes of the day at Chi
cago. F-dmunds’ friends give them taffy,
Logan' s friends give them liquor. Arthur’s
friends promise office, while Blaine’s
comedown with the cold, but convincing
cash. Just now none of the leader* of the
grand old party seem to say much about
the mercenary character of Southern Re
publicans which they harped on so only a
few weeks ago. That mercenary charac
ter is what the leading candidates are
ha iking on just now.
The Outlook at the Convention.
The Chicago Convention did not make
much progress yesterday. The indica
tions are now that a vote will no
reached before to-morrow. The platform
and resolutions hare not been presente
vet. Thev may not occasion discussion,
but there is pretty certain to be a lengthy
debate on the report of the Committee on
Credentials. The combined opposi
tion to Blaine objected to Clavton
for temporary Chairman. and
the Blaine faction will object, doubtless,
to the admission of the Slahone delega
tion. Only tour of that delegation are pt
Blaine, all the others being against him.
Blaine's interests require the seating of
the Dezen’dorf delegation. If a discus
sion of the relations of Mahone
to the Republican party is once
started it may continue a whole day.
The Hawkins resolution, binding the dele
gates to support the nominees of the.con
vention, was not of so much imi*ortaiice
as the discussion seemed to indicate.
A similar resolution was offered and
withdrawn in the 1890 convention.
The resolution was objected to
yesterday, doubtless more for the
purpose of creating an apprehen
sion in the minds of some of the wavering
delegates that there would be a bolt in
the event of Blaine’s nomination. I here
is not, however* much probability
of a bolt, whoever the nominees
may i*e. The Blaine leaders ap
pear to be as confident as ever. I heir
analysis of the vote for temporary Chair
man gives Blaine 364 votes on the second
or third ballot. They claim only 335 or
340 on the first ballot. They accord Ar
thur only 298 votes on the first ballot. Ad
mitting that this statement of the strength
of Arthur and Blaine is correct, it doesn’t
indicate the nomination of Blaine.
If the efforts that are being made to unite
the opposition fail. Blaine’s chances of
being nominated very soon after the bal
loting begins will be greatly improved;
but will these efforts fail? It is probable
that they will not. It looks'now as if
Blaine would not be able to increase bis
strength after the second or third ballot,
and that either he will have to do as he
did in 1880, name the nominee, or suffer a
square defeat such as Grant suffered at
that time.
The Penn Hank Cae.
Mr. Riddle, the President of the broken
Penn Bank, of Pittsburg, pleads in ex
tenuation of his wrong-doing that the
directors were equally guilty with him in
wrecking the bank. The tenor of his story
is that his speculations in oil, w ith the
bank’s funds, were for the purpose of
making up losses which the bank had sus
tained, and were undertaken with the
knowledge and approval of the directors.
If what he says about the conduct of the
directors in carrying off the funds
and securities of the bank after
the suspension is true, there is
certainly work for the grand jury
to do in Pittsburg. It is remarkable that
so little has beeu done towards enforc
ing the laws against those who were shown
by the late panic to be guilty of miscon
duct in connection with the trusts re
posed in them. There would have been
no panic, perhaps, if there had not been
much rascality among those bolding
high places in the financial world.
The troubles of all the bauks which sus
pended temporarily or permanently were
brought about by wrongful acts of the
Presidents or other officials. Those who
have taken the trouble to read the state
ments ot the troubles of the Marine. Me
tropolitan. Second National and West
Side Banks, of New York, the Atlantic
Bank. of Brooklyn, Newark
Savings Bank, of Newark.
Penn Bank, of Pittsburg, Middle
ton's Bank In Washington, and
others, will recognize the truth of thi6
statement. The banker who uses the funds
of depositors in hazardous speculations is
deserving of no more consideration than
the one who puts the bank's cash ip his
pocket or valise and runs away with it.
There are a few officials who seek to cover
their wrongdoing by depositing unmar
ketable securities as collateral for cash.
When the institutions which they have
robbed are wrecked they claim that the
disaster was caused by the depreciation of
securities.
It is not probable that any one ot those
whose rascality aided in bringing about
the recent panic will be punished. The
indignation of the sufferers appears to
have expended itself, and the authorities
show no disposition to see that the laws
are vindicated. They are too busy look
ing after the petty thieves and those who
steal to keep from starving to look after
those who unceremoniously pocket
thousands and millions of dollars ot other
people's property.
Gen. Slierman Not a Candidate.
Gen. Sherman sent a dispatch to Gen.
Henderson, of Missouri, at Chicago, yes
terday. that he would not accept a Presi
dential nomination, and that it nominated
and elected he would not serve. This
was a dispatch in answer to one
sent to him. Gen. Sherman has never
shown any itching tor political honors.
He probably thinks that he is not qualified
for civil office, and that he would not add
anything to his reputation by accepting
the Presidency, assuming that he could
get it. He hasn’t the patience and tact
necessary to deal with office seekers, and
he would probably finl himself in trouble
with the leaders of his party within
a week after entering the White House.
He doesn’t find it so very easy to get along
with the authorities of St. Louis. He is
imperious and irascible, and jikes to have
his way in everything. A day or two ago
the Collector of Water Rates in St. Louis
sent him a notice that if he used water to
6crub his pavement and dampen the street
in front of his residence he would have to
take out a special license. He wrote on
the back of the notice that it was an in
sult to common society, aud that he
could easily find a place of residence
where he would not be subject
to such a nuisance, ’lhe Water Rate Col
lector will insist upon enforcing the city
ordinance, doubtless, even at the risk of
driving the irascible General to seek a
habitation in some other city. The chief
reason why Gen. Sherman will not allow
his name to be presented to the conven
tion is, perhaps, that he doesn’t w ant to in
terfere with the prospects ol his brother,
Senator John Sherman. The Senator seems
to think that his party owes him tne nomi
nation, aud all along he has had an idea
that when Blaine and Arthur were out of
the way it would come to him. His pros
pects, however, yet are not very en<#iurag
ing.
The Epidemic Fund.
The National Board of Health and the
Marine Hospital Service have had their
annual fight before the committees ol
Congress, and as usual, the National
Board of Health got the worst of the bat
tle. The National Board tried to get con
trol of the epidemic fufltl. The House
Committee on Public Health reported in
favor of making the fund $200,000, and of
giving the President authority to use it
through the National Board or the Marine
Hospital Service, in the event that it be
came necessary to use it at all. The
same authority was given the President
last year, and he elected to put the fund
under the control of the 3larine Hospital
Service. He doubtless will make the
same kind of a*decision this year. The
Appropriations Committee reported in
favor of giving the National Board $lO,-
000 to keep it alive, but the board insisted
upon a larger sum. That angered the
committee, and the entire appropriation
was stricken out. It is doubtful if it will
be put back. If it isn’t the career of the
National Board will Bjieedily come to an
end. The Secretary of the Treasury and
many influential members of the House
regard the board as a purely ornamental
affair, and would like to see it drop out of
existence as soon as possible.
There are a great many 60-called de

Senator Brown's bill providing for a re
ward of SIOO,OOO for the discovery of the
cause of vellow fever and any certain
means of effecting Us cure or prevention,
or for anv certain means of effecting the
prevention or cure of the dreaded disease
without the discovery of its cause, ought
to meet with the approval of Congress.
The government of Germany has just
given a large sum as a reward to the Ger
man scientists who visited Egypt and In
dia last year in search of the germ or
cause of cholera. These scientists -claim
to have been successful. The reward
provided for by Senator Brown 5 bill
would enlist the best talent of the medi
cal profession in the world. The diseot
ery of the cause of cholera, admitting that
the cause has been discovered, is*rea9on
for believing that it is possible to discover
the cause of yellow fever. The epidemic
of this disease in 1878 cost the South many
thousands of lives and many millions of
dollars. It cost the North millions of dol
lars in lost business and contributions to
sufferers. An epidemic is possible any
summer. Strict quarantine measures
mav lie effective in keeping the disease
out of the country, but it is not certain
that it will. At none of the ports is quar
antine perfect, and it is probable that it is
impossible to make it perfect. In view ol
the almost incalculable damage to life
and property that an epidemic causes, no
expense would be too great to incur in
trying to find out the cause of the fever
and the means for its prevention.

* Smith, the Republican Mayor of Phila
delphia has removed all the Democrats
froiq the police force except 51, and
they are expecting their walking papers
every day. The Democratic Mayor of
that city last year made no political test
in the appointment of policemen, and
nearly five hundred of the force under him
were Republicans. Had he been more
partisan in his administration he might
have secured his own re-election. The
Republicans rarely ever obey the doc
trines of civil service reform which they
profess to advocate.
CURRENT COMMENT.
A Hoary Humbug.
Bunion Globe [Dem. >.

tative of the better element, the champion
civil service reformer, the Pod snap of politics,
the worshiper of great moral ideas. Is for
Edmunds, first, and for Blaine, the Mulligan
guano tattooed statesman, next. Senator
Hoar’s talk about “purity in politics” is the
thinnest kind of humbug.
Principles, Not Men.
Washington Pont ( Dem.).
It is no wonder that a business boom which
implies a continuance of gross abuses should
militate against any candidate in whose behalf
it is set up; but the party which refuses to re
dress ttiose abuses or the evils for which there-
lies ai its own doors will be no
belter ofl' with one candidate than another.
This isto lie a contest for principles, not men.
A Hoorn for Bayard.
Bonton Pont (Dem.)
That public matters have fallen into a low
slate of entanglement and degradation under
the jKilicy, so-called, of the Republican man
agers, is too manifest to be denied. How the
country can be redeemed from the deplorable
effects of their mismanagement is the ques
tion at hand; and there appears to be no more
obvious means than tosclect such an eminent,
incorrupt and enlightened statesman as Mr.
Bayard for our President. The popular in
stincts are with him if unscrupulous party
machinery can be controlled.

A remarkable statement was recently

A Nevada paper says: “A man who bad
been ljqt a few days in the country brought
in a piece of ore the other day, which he
showed to a man on the street and asked him
what it contained. The party addressed said
it would go *2OO in silver and *SO in gold. The
man asked him how long he had been in Ari
zona, aud where he came from. ‘I am trom
Kansas, and have been here a week.’ The
mineral hunter while going up Logan
avenue struck another party and wanted
his advice on the rock. ‘Ah,’ said expert
No. 2, ’this is pretty good looking
ore, and probably contains silver and gold.’
‘How long have you been in Arizona?’ ‘About
a month,’ replied the expert. The next man
the prospector met was asked what he thought
of the mineral. ’I don’t know anything about
it; von go and have it assayed, and the assayer
will tell you all about it,’ ‘Have you been
long in the country?' inquired the mineral
hunter. ‘About fifteen years,' replied the
man.’ This little incident thoroughly illus
trates the stages through which a person has
to pass before he has the conceit taken out of
him iu regard to ores.”

Some Funny Addresses Scrawled on En
velopes by Humorous Persons or by
Dunces.
Some very curious and funny letters are
received at the Dead Letter Office, says
the Washington Capital. The outside of
some are more unique than the inside.
The following are the addresses on the en
velopes of several which have found their
way to the Dead Letter office. They show
the poetical bent ot the writers:
Fly, little messenger, quick ami straight,
To Humboldt county, of lowa State;
Fly, little messenger, and seek with care
For Miss Annie Fahev, you'll find her there.
Unfortunately there was no stamp on it
and the matter-of-fact P. 31. hustled it ofl'
to the Dead Letter Office.
Another envelope has:
Bummer's letter, send it ahead.
Dead broke and nary a red.
Postmaster, put this letter through,
And when I get paid I’ll pay you.
Another envelope has this address:
James Irwin. Try all over the the State.
Still another brief address is:
H. A. Kenyon, P. M., 111.
A would-be housekeeper puts on the
envelope:
P. M. Please forward to the physician who
was looking for a housekeeper in St. Louis
last week; is a widower with two children;
don’t know his name.
This is no doubt an answer to an adver
tisement. It is a pity the widower did
not get it.
Another envelope has:
To General W. Knowles this letter is seal.
To the town of Brighton, where the other one
went.
No matter who wrote it—a friend or a foe—
To the State of New York I hope it will go.
But it went to the Dead Letter Office
instead.
The Efficacy of Prayer.
Wall Street Keren.
In his Sunday morning prayer a Wis
consin minister prayed the Lord that
such of his congregation as were specu
lating in wheat might be brought real
izing sense of their iniquity by losing
heavily. During the next week wheat
dropped 9 cents per bushel, and twenty
three members of the congregation had
such cold feet that they couldn’t stand
still. The week after that there was a
meeting of the congregation to see about
raising the minister’s salary, ana the re
sult of the meeting was to cut it down
from $1,500 per annum to SBOO. As one of
the kickers answered in explanation:
“We had them 3lilwaukee chaps right by
the short hair, and this feller had to jump
in and request the Lord to knock us end
ways. If he wants more’n SBOO a year let
him buv lottery tickets and pray for ’em
to hit.”

BUFFALO LITH!A WATER.
A Powerful Solvent of Stone in the
Bladder; Specific In Gout and
Rheumatism: Stone of the
Triple Phosphate.
Case of Mr. C *of Xorth Carolina, stated
by Dr. G. Halstead Boyland , Professor of
Surgery, Baltimore Medical College ;
Late Surgeon French Army, Decor
ated; Member of the Medical and
Chirurgical Faculty of the
State of Maryland, etc.
“The case of Mr. C ,of North Carolina,
who arrived at the Springs June 21st, affords
undoubted evidence that Buffalo Lithia
Water, Spring No. 2, is a Solvent for Urinary
Deposit, commonly called ‘Stone in the Blad
der.' About a year previous he was operated
upon for Stone, the operation affording but
partial and temporary relief. Hecomplained
of pain in the Lumbar Region, and pain and
irritability of the neck of the Bladder. He
was emaciated; suffering greatly from In
somnia; and his general condition very un
favorable. Upon arrival at the Springs he
was passing small quantities of a Urinary De
posit of the Triple-Phosphate of Ammonia and
Magnesia variety. Large flakes of bloody
mucus were found in the urine. For the re
lief of present suffering he was making fre
quent and free use of opiates. He was put
upon the water of Spring No. 2— from six to
eight glasses a day. In few weeks the Sol
vent Proper! tn ot the Water were evident in
the diminished consistency of the Deposit, the
increased quantity discharged, and by its
change from Concrete Lumps to Fine Sand,
which lie discharged to the amount of four
ounces. The quantity, however, diminished,
until, after a stay of eight weeks at the
Springs, he has returned home with the De
]>osit dissolved and washed out of the system,
and the Diathesis, Form et Origo Morbi, al
tered. There has been a disappearance of the
attending distressing symptoms described,
and great improvement in his general condi
tion.”
RHEUMATIC GOUT.
Cane of Dr. J. A. Hanby, of Patrick C. H.,
Va.; stated bv himself.
four years I was afflicted with Bheu
matic Gout to an extent which incapacitated
me entirely for the discharge of the duties of
my profession, and was fiuallv reduced to such
a condition as to subject me for the most part
to confinement to my bed. Bv the advice of
one of my medical attendants, and emphati
cally as a dernier resort, Idetermined to make
use ot the Buffalo Lithia Water, Spring No. 2,
1 am frank to say, without faith in its virtues,
having but little confidence in mineral waters.
The use, however, of a few cases of the water
was attended by beneficial results so remark
able that I was soon able to be out of bed and
upon mv feet, and my improvement has con
tinued, until I am now actively engaged in
the practice of my profession, meeting with
out any unusual inconvenience all the expos
ure and hardship Incident to the life of a phy
sician in a mountain country. I cannot, in
candor, do otherwise than ascribe my recov
ery solely to this water, the value of which I
regard as beyond estimation.”
Springs now open for Guests. Water in
cases of one dozen bottles. *5 per
case at the Springs. Springs Pamphlet sent
