WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, August, 3 1903.
JWifo/ Press:—
Deeply as tbey regret the discov
ery that corruption exists in the
executive departments in Wash
ington, republicans here, and pro
bably throughout the country, are
rejoiced that President Roosevelt
has had the courage to probe to
she bottom one govermcnt depart
ment and now contemplates the |
thorough investigation of another.
There is in some quarters an im
pression that the control of the
reins of government by the great
parties, beyond a limited time, in
evitably results in dishonest ad
ministration and the time is not
remote when the democrats gained
a national victory with the slogan
"Turn the rascals out." That
they might have done so again had ;
there been any lack of earnestness i
on the part of the President in in- j
vestigating the Postoffice Depart- |
merit is admitted by the wiser re- j
publican politicians, but it is ap- j
predated now even by the demo- ;
erats, that Mr. Roosevelt has ef- j
Actually spiked any democratic j
guns which may have been leaded i
with charges of corruption by in- I
auguratiug a thorough investiga- j
ton of the Postoffice Department
and by preparing for a top to bot
tom inspection of the Government
Printing Office.
It was not with the expectation
of finding dishonest methods that
President R >osevelt determined to
institute an investigation of the
methods in vogue in the Printing
Office, but with a view to ascer
taining why it was that the cost of
printing and binding performed by j
the Public Printer should so great- !
ly exceed the cost of the same work ■
performed by private institutions. ;
Since, however, an investigation |
has been determined upon, there '
have been a number of charges
that there are serious leaks in the
administrative methods. A rule
of tho bookbinder's uuion which
limited the daily task of all its j
members first called the attention !
of the President, to the extravagant !
conduct of the government print
ing establishment and it is pro
bable that to that rule he charged
much of the increased cost of the i
federal printing and binding but,
to the surprise of many, the officers
of the bookbinders' union an- I
nounce that they will welcome an
investigation as it will reveal the
real leak and relieve their union j
from the odium of an unjust suspi
cion. While there will doubtless
be many rumors of corruption in
the Printing office from now on,
no one who has witne «ed the'
thorough methods and the cour- 1
•igeous spirit which have character- |
j i/ed lln' inve iif,.tlion of the I'osf
nffictt Department will be satisfied
with any "superficial investiga
tion" and the general public will
j rest assure that, when Secretary
J Cortelyou, who by his high probity
and business like methods has al
ready won the respect of the public
and to whom the conduct of the
investigation will be confided, has
completed his examination of the
Government Printing Office, he
will have left unturned no stone
nor permitted to escape bis atten
tion any improper transaction.
In the words of a prominent demo
cratic member of Congress, now in
Washington, "President Roose
velt is stealing our thunder. lie
is turning his own rascals out."
Taken With Cramps.
Wiu. Kirmse, a member of the bridge
gang working near Littleport was taken
suddenly il! Thursday night with cramps
and a kind of cholera. Ilis case was so
severe that lie had to have the members
of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gif
ford was called and consulted. He told
them lie had a medicine in the form of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera aid Diarr
hoea Rcmody that lie thought would help
him out and accordingly several doses
were administered with the result that
the fellow was able to be around next
day. The incident speaks quite highly
of .Mr. Gifford's medicines.—Elkader,
lowa, Argus.
This remedy nc\er fails. Keep it in
your home, it may save life. For sale by
L Taggart.
A woman without love is like a flower

S Violent (Attack of Diarrhoea Cured by
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Bemedy and Perhaps a
Life Saved.
" \ short time ago I was taken with a
violent attack of diarrhoea and believe 1
would have died it I had not gotten re
lief,'' says John J. Patton a leading citi
zen of Patton, Ala. ''A friend reeoui
mended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. I bought a
twenty-five cent bottle and after taking
| three doses of it was entirely cured. I
| consider it the best remedy in the world

Taggart.
It is wrong, but lots of satisfaction to
hate some people.
Cholera Infantum.
This disease has lost its terrors since
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarr
hoea Remedy came into general use.
The uniform success which attends the
use of this remedy, in all cases of bowel
complaints in children lias made it a
favorite wherever its value has become
known. For sale by Jno. E. Smith,

End of Bitter Fight.
| "Two physicians had a long and stub
born fight with an abcess on my right
i lung" writes J. 1". Ilughes of DuFont,
j Ga., "and gave me up. Everybody
: thought my time had come. As a last
j resort I tried Dr. King's New Discovery
| for Consumption. The benefit I received
j was striking and I was on my feet in a
I few days. Now I've entirely regained
jmy health. "It conquers all Coughs,

Suicide Prevented.
The startling announcement that a
preventive of suicide had been discover
ed will interest many. A run dowu sys
tem, or despondency invariably precede
suicide and something has been found
that will prevent that condition which
makes suicide likely. At the first
thought of self destruction take Electric

The Death Penalty.
A little thing sometimes results in
death. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi
| cant cuts or puny boils have paid the
j death penalty. It is wise to have Buck
leu's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's tha
| best Salve on earth and will prevent
fatality, when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and
