withstanding my new store is nearly one hundred feet long, it is filled to
repletion with new goods of the very latest styles, and bought at the

Washington Letter.
Washington, May 30, 1885.
j Since I lastwroto you a change
has come over the bright illusion of
| official security in the breasts of a
large number of Repulican office
| holders. There have been numer
| ous dismissals during the past’week,
[ and nine tenths of those who re-
J main see ever before them the Da
li nodes sword labeled “your turn
next.” The dismissals have been
chiefly for offensive partizanship
and also for dishonesty, insobriety,
j and general unfitness. The new
| Administration is beginning to
i know its ground, get its hand in
| and to overcome its native bashful;
| ness. It will learn more day by
| day, and the rascals will go, andgo
I with accelerated velocity.
The recently appointed chiefs of
j Bureau to whose attention cases of
j suspected wrong doing has been
brought, fed themselves handicap
ped by the Reyublican clerks who
are subordinate to them, but upon
whom they cannot depend for co
operation. When papers are refer
red to these clerks for investigation
and report, they are placed in pos
session of the movements of the
enemy, and they are quick to take
advantage of their confidential posi
tion, and to play the traitor by in
forming interested parties outside
the departments that an investiga-l
tion threatens. It is not difficult I
to see how valuable and important
such information is to the old rings
i and ringsters that have had and
j still have this underground wire
and back stairs connection with j
the Treasury and other Government
I departments. Clerks who have been
I in collusion, and actually in guilty
partnership, with claimants and
others dealing with the Govern
ment, obtain the earliest informa
j tion of proposed investigations,
I and are enabled to cover up suspi-j
| eious appearances and forewarn |
| their outside accomplices.
The disadvantage of Democratic !
; officials is that they stand solitary j
j and helpless at the heads of their j
departments with no subordinate j
whom they can trust. They are in ;
the condition of a General whose I
army is treacherously servile and!
whose sentinels are colleagues. of
the enemy. The new Administra-!
tion will never recover the Holy
i Cross of political purity at the head i
I of a host of Republican infidels.
The discharges for offensive par
| tizanship during the past week
have been chieflyfrom Post Offices,
| and a majority of them have been
| in Virginia, but every day witness
j os a number of discharges from the
j Departments here in this city,
j They consist chiefly of those clerks
[ who were absent from their desks
j during the late campaign, making
’ speeches for Blaine, organizing Re
; publican clubs, and doing other
j campaign work while drawing pay
as clerks. This rule of offensive
partizanship, if impartially applied,
will slay its thousands. A Govern
ment clerk has no more business to
be an active partizan, than a bank
clerk, or a hou carrier. He is em
ployed to do certain clerical work,
and as a clerk. When lie neglects
to do the work lie should be as per
emptorily discharged, as he would
be if be were a clerk in any private
business bouse.
A part from discharges and ru
mors of discharges, clerical.life in
the immense Counting House of
Uncle Sam is not what it used to
he. There is more work, less play,
and better health. The Republi
can employe has a gloomy, care
worn face, but he is keeping bettor
hours, and bringing forth fruit meet
for repentance. Offices that have
been for years in arrears with their
work arc now up to date. Since it
has been given out that protracted
absence from sickness shall be with
out pay, and that any absence
shall be subtracted from the thirty
days vacation allowed each clerk,
there has been a remarkable decline
of sham sickness.
His Loss Was Her Gain.
“Well madam,” said a fashionable
phyiscan to a wealthy lady patient,
“if you don’t like my prescriptions,
perhaps you had better try Barker’s
Tonic, or some other quack stuff.”
“You don’t mean it Doctor,” she
answered, “but your advice may he
good for all that. Sometimes what
you call ‘quack stuff’is the best and
most scientific medicine, after all,”
She got a bottle of Parker’s
| Tonic and it cured her of neuralgia
arising from disordered stomach
and nerves. She told her friends,
and now they all keep a doctor at
home in the form of Parker’s Tonic.
The President last week had to
I discharge, no doubt,a very unpleas
ant duty under the recommenda
tion of Representative Barksdale,
of Mississippi. G. W. Mead, was
appointed Postmaster at Hazlc
hurst, Copiah County Miss. It was
charged that Mead presided at
Ia public meeting in Copiah count}’,
in which the political outrages, were
indorsed. The charge not having
I been denied, the President last week
asked for his resignation. This re
moval more or less involves, Secre
tary Lamar, as he also recommend
j eel Mead.
Proper Treatment for Coughs.
That the reader may fully undcr
; stand what constitutes a good Cough
and Lung Syrup, we will say Tar
and Wild Che rry is the basis of the
i best remedies yet discovered. These
ingredients with several others
equally as efficacious, enter largely
into Dr. Bosanko’s Cough and Lung
Syrup, thus making it one of the
most reliable now on the market.
