6 WASHINGTON. Yom our Kt'gular Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 7th, 1895. "Lots of senseless twaddle is being odulged in about Cuba, by men who mght to know better," remarked a gentleman prominently connected with .be administration. " One might sup wae from the contents of the newspa jera that it was merely a question of vympathy as to the position maintain id by the administration. As a mat ter of fact sympathy is not a factor, rhe government is controlled by in ternational law and prudence. For (his government to recognize the gov ernment which the Cuban revolution ots have established on paper, but whiah has as yet neither location nor habitation, would bs equivalent to de claring war against Spain for the pur pose of aiding Cuba to gain its inde pendence, or opening our Treasury to demands for indemnity which Spain coold and would make upon us if we kept our hands off and the revolt was pot down. If we assumed the right to openly assist Cuba we should pro bably find ourselves involved in a war with more powerful opponents than Spain. When Cuba sets up and maintains an independent govern ment, as did the Central American colonies of Spain, at the time the famous Monroe doctrine was promul gated, will be time enough for this government to recognize her independ. nice. It is simply nonsense to talk of recognizing what does not exist, just because we sympathise with what is ought to be established. Govern ments cannot be run on that basis. England had much better grounds for recognizing the belligerency of the Southern Confederacy, which had Annies, a navy find an established government, and yet an international court of arbitration made England pay dearly for that recognition, in the Hard cash that went to pay the Ala bama claims. Had the Southern Confederacy succeeded those claims srould not have had to be paid." Hon. D. I. Murphy, Deputy Com missioner of Pensions, whose taking part in the Maryland campaign has knocked the last plank from the bot tom of the silly lie about President Cleveland not wishing the democratic party to carry that state this year, takes a very sensible view of that cam paign. After expressing the opinion that the state would go democratic, Mr. Murphy said: " I cannot under stand how the disaffected democrats can reconcile themselves to tne posi tion they have taken. They seem to dunk that if they let the republicans vm this year they can oust them next jear. They cannot do anything of che kind. A republican victory this rail means that the state will be in the hands of that party for years. If the regular democracy is defeated this vear does anyone believe that next, fear the tail will wag the dog and the regulars, who are in a large majority, ill go to work to help the bolters ? It is hardly common sense to rely up on such a situation. No, sir; the democrats if they want to control Maryland, must not let it go out of their grasp this year." The attempt to start a Lincoln boom, by giving it out that ex-President Harrison was in favor of the nomination of ex-Secretary Lincoln fell very flat in Washington. Mr. Lincoln is too well known here. His abilities were thoroughly sized up when he was Secretary of War, and the verdict was unaninous that it was away below the Presidential grade. ' Had Bob Lincoln been a man of one-tenth of the ability of his father, instead of the well-dressed, well-fed, nonentity he is," said a republican who has helped to make and unmake candidates for his party for more than 1 generation, " his name would long ago have made him the Presidential candidate of his party." Senator Blackburn came to Wash ington" to attend the marriage of his laughter, Miss Lucille, to Mr. Thomas F. Lane, of N. J., which occurred Tuesday, but he returned to Kentucky the. same night to resume his cam paign. He said the democrats were -going to elect the state ticket and the legislature, and that his return to the Senate was assured. Secretary Carlisle told Ex-Representative Wilkerson of La., now Col lector of Customs at New Orleans, who called to see him in behalf of the sugar planters, that he could do noth ing except to expedite a hearing of their claims for bounty by the Court of Claims, in accordance with the de cision of the Comptroller, which he nad no power to overrule. For some reason none of the claimants want to get before the Court of Claims. while nobody seems to know just what will be done, it is probable that MEM IH" The Greatest Cure on Earth for Pain.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma tion, can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces.

Jones at the Phila delphia Mint a tall old man with a bent figure, hollow eyes, straggling whiskers and an air of mystery. A long linen duster hung despondently from his shoulders to the top of his leather boots, and he carried a cheap.satchel in one hand and a telescope grip in the other. He had passed the group of watchmen at the outer door with a laconic statement in reply to their questions that he had gold to sell. In front of the deposit counter he paused, and then lifted his two burdens up on top of it. He peered across at Clerk Jones, and said to him in a very business-like way : " I've got two bars of gold here, weighin' erbout forty eight pounds each. I want to sell 'em." Clerk Jones told him he had come to the right place, and asked to see the bars. The old man unstrapped the telescope grip and laid a chunk of heavy metal on the counter. " That ain't gold," said wrk Jones. " It's lead." Pallor came over the face of the old man, and, with unsteady hands he opened the satchel. From it he pro duced another piece of metal, which he laid alongside the first. " That's lead, too," said Clerk Jones. "They are both only painted with gold." THE OLD GAME CAUGHT HIM. For a moment the old man seemed on the verge of going to pieces. Then he straightened up and hastily asked Clerk Jones it he would hold the bricks until he could return for them later in the day. In reply to questions asKed rum he said that his name was Arthur B. Pearcifield, and his home Benoyd Station, Miss. Ha did not tell his story in detail, but he did say this much : "I paid $1,600 for those bricks. While I was working on my farm last Friday a Spaniard came to me and said he was looking for a man by my name who used to be his partner. He said he knew where two gold bricks were. He did not know their value. ' But,' said he, I'll sell them to you for $1,600.' The bricks were in a woods near Memphis, Tenn. We went there. The bricks were lying on the ground among a lot of leaves. I paid him the amount he asked and we both started for the Mint in this city. He came with me as far as Cincinnati, and there he got off the train and mysteriously disappeared." It will not cure everything.

The success of Hood's Sarsaparilla in conquering scrofula in whatever way it may manifest itself is vouched .'or by thousands who were severely afflicted by this prevalent disease, but who now rejoice over a permanent cure by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Scrofula may appear as a humor, or it may at tack the glands of the neck, or break out in dreadful running sores on the body or limbs. Attacking the muc ous membrane, it may develop into crtarrh or lodging in the lungs lead to consumption. Come as it may, a faithful course of treatment with Hood's Sarsaparilla will overcome it, for working upon the foundation of all diseases, impure blood, the system is clarified and vitalized, and vigor, strength and health restored to the body.

One thing is settled, and that is that we are nor going to carry around skirts of immense weight, as we have been doing. The most fashionable skirts are now only interlined to the knees, t ! . ana in consequence are much less of a burden to the wearer. In width they remain from five to six yards. inc sieeves are also soiter in effect, though quite as large and pronounced in appearance as ever. It is in the little tilings, instead, that the styles nave cnangea. neits, collars and cuffs have all Droved themselves ranahle of an infinite variety of form and ar rangement, and oy their effects change the old gown into the new, and make the new ones so attractive.

Believes in Recommending Any Medicine That He Knows Will Cure His Patients. Thinks Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a Great Discovery. Marvelous From tn Ezamlntr, Lantaiirr, Pa.

Williams Mhdicihr Co. j Gmtltmtn While It in entirely contrary to the custom of the medical profession to en dorse or recommead any of the to-railed pro prietary preparations, I shall, nerertheleiw, give you an account of soma of my wonderful experience! with your preparation, Dr. Wil liams' Tink Tills for Pule People. The fact ta well-known that medical practitioners do not as a rule, recognize, much lest, use pre parations of this kind, consequently the body of them have no definite knowledge of their virtue nr lack of it, but soundly condemn them all without atrial. Such a course is manifestly absurd and unjust, and I, for one, propose to giTe my patients the best treatment known to me, for the particular disease with whieh they are suflerlng, no matter what it is, where or how obtained. I was first brought to prescribe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills bout two years ago, after having seen some remark able results from their use. Keuben Hoover, now of Hemiing, Pa., was a prominent con tractor ami buikler. While superintending the work of erecting a larM building during cold weather, he contracted what was thought to he sciatica. He having tint noticed it one morning in not being able to arise from his bed. After the usual treatment for this dis ease he failed to improve, but on the contrary frew rapidly worse, the case developing into leniiphlegin, or partial paralysis oi the entire riv'l't side of the body. Electricity, tonics ami massage, etc., were all given a trial, but nothing gave any benefit, and the paralysis continued. In despair he was compelled to hear his physician announce that his case was hopeless. About that time his wife noticed ouu of your advertisement and concluded to try your Pink Pills. " He had given tip hope and it required a great deal of begging on the part of his wife to persuade him to take them regularly. " He, however, did as she desired, and tf appearances indicate health in this man, one would think be was better than before his paralysis. ' Why,' says he, I began to improve in two davs, and in four or five weeks I was entirely well and at work.' "Ilavinir seen these results I concluded that such a remedy is surely worth a trial at the hands of any physician, and consequently when a short time later I was called upon to treat a lady suffering with palpitation of the A Great Push for Fa!!
