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

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is bv constitutional
remedies. 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.

Ee Bought Two Gold Bricks for $1600.
A Mississippi Farmer Swindled.
There came into the dingy office of
Weight Clerk J. Z. 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."

not claimed that it will cure bnt one

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

treat a lady suffering with palpitation of the

LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA SUCCESSFULLY

because Locomotor Ataxia is supposed to be
