the other to hi left hind leg. The
application was m.de for ten sec

with felt, and with his right hind

It was tried successfully upon lour

tried upon a horse weighing bSO
pounds with equally satisfactory
results. In every case death was

Washington, March 25, 1889, —
Bops:, which ia said to be the most
persistent thing in politics, again
springs in tho breast of the patient
and lowly office seeker, and at
night when ha sits by his virtuous
couch and counts the money ia his
inside pocket, he begins to feel
mildly encouraged. Ho is not, of
ceurso elated ©r hilarious, but he
is nearly as happy as he over ex
pects to be in this cruel civil service
world, Ke of the rank and file of
c.ffic; seekers has already discover
ed that ho would be satisfied with
a smaller seclion of the earth than
he first requested, and has chang
ed his application to a lesser posi
tion.
The present crowd ef office seek
ers is not, however, as easily satis
fied as wer® lheplace hunters who
came here whan Mr. Cleveland
was elected. Many cf fhe latter
were willing 1 1 accept anything at
all, from secretary of a department
to the laborer who pushes ©ut its
dirt. They were essentially homeo
pathic in their school, believing
that a very little office was a good
thing and practically as efficacious
as agr ;:l c.-rfi of po.fit.WuS. Is tire
tinny exhibited more courage than
Sec so, ns m my afterwards discovered
to their eternal sorrow, as it is shown
by tho really remarkable list <>! ra> gn
lions of I'erarora!>i during the Clave
ml administration. Tho piesan
c ond knows full v eil that an SBOO
ye*r position in Washington is no

this it will bo necessary to remove
onea and lor all Pies. Ckvaland's de
cision that no person shall be eligible
to reinstatement over two years after
re-iguging or one year after discharge
unless the civil service examination be
parsed. That this rule will be revok
