Frequently sufferers who claim to have spent all their money in wying for drugs, apply for treat ment, nlienng to pay when cured, or make some other similar nrono - sition, which they would never think of making to their family physician. In these cases the doe- tors are expected not only to do what the ordinary physicion has failed to do, but also to undo the evil ellects of the drugs taken into the system for years, and all this in view of a contingency which itself is made to dcMnd upon the veraci ty of the patient. Such proposi tions are totally inadminsablo and and are a mere waste of timo and paper. Floctricity when properly applied, may be of great strvice, and those who havo not tried it have still to learn the remarkable therapeutic effect of this agency.

News: 'treasurer Huston coutomplatcsa rndicnl change in form of the na tional debt statement, issued month ly, a change that is doubtless for oliticnl ami may or may not aid the republican party leforu the ieo- ! lb? Mr. Huston says that on the ! toil entrance of the democratic adminis tration, Secretary Manning and Treasurer Jordan altered the form of statement that had been in uoo for decades, for political purposes. During the terms of Senators Chase, McCullough, Uoutwell, Kiehardsoii, Sherman, Window nnd Kolger, ov- notes and the twenty-five millions I lit IntPtlOnnl SllVOr. At lireSCIlt , - ; . . these one hundred and twentv-five millions do not npcnr as available nssests. The republicans claim that Sec retary .Manning withdrew these from the statement, ns he was op posed to the purchase of bonds and 1 well knew on the other hand, that : the eople demanded a reduction of the excessive surplus, and that this alarm at the surplus must he i quieten. 1 he new statement will show the surplus as about two lain dred nnd twenty-five million dol lars. Speaking of the suiplus, the re turn of the famous surplus reducer Corjioral Tanner has started new rumors of his resignation. The rabid utterances of tho Corporal on his recent junketing tour havo left his best friends without a defense for him. Jt is feared that should he bo retnined, his utterances re garding Senator Sherman and other leading lights of his own party will block his administration after Con gress meets. The trouble seems to Ih to find n place for him. The o sition ho now occupies is second on ly in importance to a cabinet jMisi lion. It would nut do to give him a much inferior osition, though he is hardly eonijietent to he a chief of division. He might be given a con sulate but he cannot be induced to go abroad. Thus Sinbnd, the sail or, in the pernon of President Har rison, is I mind to carry this dough ty old man's grip gives out. The failure of Coriwral Tanner to con vince thnt Grand Army at Milwau kee that an investigation of his Xr sonal conduct of tho Pension Hu ron u is n direct blow nt the Grand Army was, however, his wntoiloo. The English syndicates that are buying American breweiits have perchnnco forgot t 11 that the lager beer drinker is not an Angloinaiiiiie. lie is apt to be quite opposite.
