S. senate by the Republican senators of his state, 111. CLEVELAND came to New York to have an interview with the promi nent men of the party he represents. Many of them of course were after an appointment of some kind. ENGLAND has its hands full just now. Dynamite at home and defeat abroad keep the British in a fever heaLKhartoum has fallen and the Arab ian rebels defeated the English troops. The whereabouts of General Gordon are unknown and fears are entertained for his life. On February 18th, 1884, Charles George Gordon entered Khartoum with brilliant expectations of success,but ever since that time the history of 'Chinese Gordon' remained misty and dark. IN less than four weeks President Cleveland will enter the White House as the first dtmocratic president in twenty-four years. For the last few weeks he had interviews and consulta tions with the most prominent men and leaders of his party, no doubt for the purpose of hearing their opinions and advices on the vital questions of the great change. Cleveland is in no en vious position. After the republican party has corrupted theadministration In nearly all its branches, it becomes the task of the democratic party, with Cleveland as their leader to dense ev erything from its corruptness. For snch a gigantic job the brains and en ergy of able and experienced states men are required and Cleveland no doubt will make it a main point to surround himself with such. At any rate we believe that Cleveland will be able to make himself master of the sit nation. The bpring Elections- On next Tuesday the local elections will take .place in all townships and boroughs. The most important of fices to be filled in the borough will be assessor, school directois and coun cilmen. In the township the most weighty office is that of supervisor. The choice of efficient election officers is alike important in boroughs and townships. It is the duty and privil ege of all voters to see to it, that good men will be put into these places— men for whom they need not be a shamed to vote. There are plenty of suitable men and all that is necessary is to look around and make your se lections carefully and intelligently. Just in these small local campaigns it is where "the office must hunt the man." But you can help along in the job and when you have made a pick sustain your choice by a full vote. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON,D. C., Feb. 10,1885. Whateyer may be the outcome of the Senatorial contest in Illinoise, the nom ination of CoL William R. Morrison by the Democrats of the Legislature is something that reflects infinite credit upon them, as well as deserved honor upon its recipient. No man in Illinois had a better title to this mark of his party's regard, and no man in Illinois possesses superior qualifications for the great office of Senator. He is and al ways has been a most thorough worker for the success of his party locally and nationally, and the more desperate and determined have been the efforts put forth by the Republicans to defeat him in his own district,the greater have been the majorities by which he has been returned to his seat in the House, lie is a man who works while Ills ene mies sleep, and self-educated as lie lias been in the school of statesmanship, lie stands to-day without a peer in his knowledge of our national needs, our commercial resources and the legis lation requisite to regulate and develop them. He was as brave a soldier as ever drew sword in the cause of the Union, and the extreme modesty that has characterized his career since his retirement from military service, when ever allusion is made to his biilliant services in the field, show him to have been a true soldier and an exceptionally sensible man. Would that the country had more Col. Mori isons and fewer of those who live on the capital acquired by a very questionable military record. PHONO. Don Cameron so 111 that His Phys icians Prescribe a Southern Tour. WASHINGTON, Feb. B.—Both the Pennsylvania senators have been in poor health the present winter and both have been advised by their physicians to leave Washington and seek a more genial clime. Senator Mitchell hopes to remain until the se.ssion closes, hut Senator Cameron's health has failed so much during the last few months that his physicians insist that he must get away from the cares of state and the cankers of indoor life. He has ucently had several hemorrhages and it is thought best hv his medical advisers that he should spend the next few months in the south. lie has accord ingly made arrangements for a prot ra't ed visit to the land of flowers and su 1- shiue. General Grant's Mementoes. WASHINGTON, February 7.—ln the Senate to-day Mr. Sherman, from the committee 011 the library, reported a joint resolution accepting the offer made to the government by William 11. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Grant of the swords, metals, bronzes, paintings and other articles of value pre sented to General Ulysses S. Grant by the various governments of the world as tokens of appreciation of his illustri ious character as a soldier and states man. The resolution expresses the thanks of Congress to Mr. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Grant, and provides that the articles he placed in the charge of the Librarian of Congress, the Secretary of War, however, to receive them for safe keeping until a proper repository may be provided for them in the Congres sional Library. The joint resolution was lead three times and passed. Storms in the West. RAILROADS SUFFERING FROM HAD WEATHER. KEOKUK, lowa/ February 9.—The railroads are all suffering.

DES MOINES, lowa, Feb. 9.— The heaviest snowstorm of the season set in yesterday afternoon and prevailed until this forenoon.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—The storm con tinues throughout Illinois,all trains are late and some have been abandoned. The Snow King. Great snow storms in the West in terfere with all tiavel. The railroads in Illinois are blockaded, trains aban doned and the roads have been hiring thousands of men to shovel snow and clear the tracks. Trade is interupted and great inconvenience inflicted by. the severe weather. Even under favor able circumstances all the managers of railroads say they cannot expect to get back to schedule time for two or three days and if tl.e snow continues to drift it will be a week or more. The loss to the roads in business and cost of clean ing their Lacks will be something enor mous. The Chicago and Alton has nearly a dozen trains snowed in. The Illinois Central has 9 passenger trains snowed in. An etfort was made to-day to clear the tracks, but it drifted faster than it could be cleared. Chronic Ulcers niul Catarrh* Mrs. Christian Zelle, aged sixty-three years, of Curondclct, St. Louis, Missouri, bad a chronic ulcei on iier leg which had been running for forty-three years/ To use her own language, she had "tried all the doctors," but without perceptible ben efit. Two of tlie most noted of this city advised her, as the only alternative from death, to have the leg amputated below the knee. She was troubled with an Intolerable itching sensation, which only gave way to a distracting pain, which made death her daily wish. She could not sleep or rest. On March —i, this year, she commenced using Or. 11 art man's PERUNA, and to day the leg is entirely healed, and the thankful old lady says she has slept more during the lu6t three months than she did in the previous fort y-three years. Miss Alice Brady, of East St. Louis, Illinois, suffered from catarrh ophthalmia for five years. On April 27 she began treatment under Dr. Hartman. For a year before she was a patient of two of the best known oculists of this city, but they signally failed to help her. Alter one month under Dr. Ilartman anil his PERUNA, her eyes have almost entirely healed, and, according to her own state ment, he has done more tor her in this short space of time than the oculists did in the previous whole year. PERUNA, of course, did it. Miss Annie Baker, First Avenue, Mil waukee, writes : " I take great pleasure in recommending PERUNA. For years I have suffered from Asthma. I was in duced to try PERUNA. It promptly relieved the paroxysms, and its continued use renders their recurrence less and less frequent lam confident it will cure me completely." _ .Walker Brothers,druggists, Batavia, 0., write: "DR. S. B. IIARTMAN, CoIumbus, 0., Dear Sir : Some two weeks ago 1 had a very peculiar case, and after a few ques tions were answered, I came to the con clusion it was catarrh of the stomach of the worst kind, of ten years' standing. The patient had consulted every phy sician far and near. I persuaded her to try your PERUNA and M ANA LI N. She had been having spasms every three or four days, and the filth dose kept them off, and thev have not returned since." W. M. Griffith, Ashland, Kv., writes: '•The large chronic ulcers of fifteen months' standing, are entirely healed. The swelling, pain and itching have all subsided, the leg is healed, and I am per fectly well. PERUNA is a wonderful rem edy/' * Miscellaneous News.
