Special to tlio Banner. London, July 1.—The city of Naples, in Italy, began house-cleaning to-day on a scale never parallelled in the his tory of municipalities in any part of the globe.

Sorsly hails from Mississippi and until last November he was associate editor of a redliot Demo cratic paper at Greenville. Some of the most violent and scurrilous enfilades oi) the Republican party were his politi cal editorials during the campaign. The proprietor of the paper was Tom Mc- Nelly, who was also ehalrman of the Democratic Comity Committee. One day a package of letters that had been written to McNelly by Congressman Catchings,. most of which contained important campaign documents, mys teriously disappeared, and about the same time Sorsly tendered his resigna tion, saying that he was going to Cal- fornia. He came direct to Washington, the package of letters found their was into the hands of Senator Matt Quay, chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, and Sorsly was rewarded with a consular appoint inent. The value of the letters will readily be understood when it is stated that they disclosed the entire plan.? of tho Democrats for carrying on tlio cam paign in the Third Congressional dis trict Of Mississippi,and that a negrolle- publican named Hill is now contesting the election of Catchings,Mississippi de mocrats will, it is said, take immediate stops to punish the person who stole the correspondence, and at the next session of Congress will prefer charges against Quay for receiving stolen prop erty.

A telegram whs received stat ing that Mrs. Harrison would arrive and the news spread like wild fire. The truly loyal turned out in masse to do honors to the wife of the President.

Washington, July 2.—The trouble has commenced, and it is a great trouble to tlie Republicans. At least seven-tenths of tli€ office-seekers here are liold-over Republican hold-overs who occupy the few places in the departmental servicea is indicated by a remark made by Secretary Windom, who is credited with' saying that he found'so many Republicans in his department that he has had great difficulty in avoiding hitting Republican heads when be wanted to make removals, The same living is true of all the other departments, and yet the. first four months of Mr. Harrison’s administra tion has been marked by more removals than the corresponding period of Mr. Cleveland’s term, and Mr. Cleveland’s heads of departments were.not hamper ed by finding many of the places outside of tlie protection of the civil service law, filled by Democrats. In the matter of promotions, Mr. Harrison’s Administra tion also suffers by contrast with that of Mr. Cleveland. During the term of the former, when a place at the head of a bureau of division became vacsftt, in many instances it was filled by the promotion of some subordinate official without regard to his political creed,but thus far there has been hut a single promotion in the departmental sendee about the classified service, and that was the advancement * of Chief Clerk Cooley, of the money order office, a Re publican, to he Chief Clerk of the Post- office Department. When, under the last Administration, it was found necessary to remove a chief of division, he was not generally turned entirely out of tlie service,hut was usual ly allowed to take a subordinate place in tlie office; hut tlius far there has been no such privilege granted by the Re publicans, and their chief aim seems to be to make as many vacancies as possible, to be filled by tho boriiblowers of the A Reward ofSSOO bv the manufacturers of Dr. Catarrh Remedy, for £ catarrh which they cannot mild, soothing, cleansing properties of tliis rente . pie. 50 cents, b? druggist ANOTHER COACH ROBBERY. pecial to Tlie Banner.

To Assist Nature In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is all that any medicine can do. In pul monary affections, such as Colds, Bron chitis, and Consumption, tlio mucous membrane first becomes inflamed, then accumulations form in tlie air-cells ol the lungs, followed by tubercles, and, finally, destruction of tlie tissue. It is plain, therefore, that, until the hacking cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes cau have no opportunity to heal. Ayer’s Cherry-Pectoral Soothes and Heals the inflamed membrane, arrests the wasting process, and’leaves no injurious results. This is why it is more highly estemeed than any other pulmonary specific. L. D. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt., writes: “ Four years ago I took a se vere cold, which was followed by a terrible cough. I was very sick* and confined th my bed about four months. My physician finally said I was in con sumption, and that he could not help me. One oi my neighbors advised me to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and before I had taken halt a boltle was able to go out. By tlie. time I lmd finished the bottle I was well, and have remained so ever since.” > Alonzo P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills, Me., writes: “ Six years ago, I was a trav-’ eling salesman, and at that time was suffering with Lung Trouble. For months I was unable to rest nights. I could seldom lie down, had frequent choking spells, and was often com pelled to seek the open air for relief. I was induced to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, which helped me. Its con tinued use lias entirely cured me, and, I believe, saved my life.” Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, J PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold by all Druggiats. Price $1; six bottles, $5.
