Czj N She gaily gMtorimu ASTORIA. OK EG OX: SATURDAY. .NOVrMBER 22 1SS4 CLEVELAND AXD THE OFFICE SEEKERS. The president-elect is said, by his intimates, to bs in favor of civil ser vice reform, and opposed to the doc trine of dividing the spoils exclu sively among the victors. A personal friend of Cleveland's now in San Francisco and who claims to have been in a position to be fully conversant with his views on the question of civil service reform, states in an interview: ' "Perhaps you think the task is too much like one of the seven labors of Hercules, and that no matter how good his intentions are to carry the principles of civil service reform, he will, in a few months, yield to the tremendous pressure that will be brought upon him, and 'place himself in the hands of his friends.' Now, you do not know the man at all. His oapacity for work is something mar vellous; he thinks nothing of putting in from twelvo to eighteen hours' work a day in fact he has devoted that amount of each day to his gub ernatorial duties moat of the time he hasbeeu at Albany. Since the ad ministration of Jackson fwitb, per haps, the exception of, Lincoln), we have not had a man in the White House, who had at once his physical capacity for work, and his mental willingness to perform it. Grant had the physical constitution to labor twenty hours out of the twenty-four, but ho had little taste for details, and was inclined to leave them to his secretaries. Not so with Cleveland, however. He will go into the "presidency prepared to serve the people, and he will do it with heart and soul which, in a materialistic sense, would mean, I suppose, with brain and brawn. His refusal to accede to John Kelly's un reasonable demands after he became governor, shows that no faction can move him, and his unswerving devo tion to the principles he enunciated in his inaugural, point out the fact that his consistency in doing right is beyond question." Relative to the present scramble for patronage the same gentleman said: "I see that some of our local politi cians think of going cast to have the patronage in the state fixed. That will, I can assure them, prove a prof itless task. The man who asks Grover Cleveland for an office is just the man who does not get it."' The correctness of the views ex pressed in the foregoing upon the course that will be followed by Cleve land in the distribution of patronage may not be questioned, as they are in consonance with plans adopted by him after going into the office of governor of New York, in filling the long list of officers to be appointed to the civil and military departmonts. At that time Governor Cleveland re fused to be inveigled from the path of duty by the -wiles of politicians, or to be misled by pleas of "party ex pediency," but made his appoint ments irrespective of party and in the interest of the public service. That a conservative policy will be adopted by President Cleveland was forecast by Samuel J. Eandall in his speech at the Tammany Hall cele bratibn in New York recently, when he said: We must not expect parti sanship alone to come from the next administration. The Democratic party must .redeem all its promises to the conservative people of the United States." A Washington special says: The representatives of three groat isth mus interoceanic transit projects are .gathering here in anticipation of the meeting of congress. The Panama people are simply anxious to be let alone. The Nicaraguan people want substantial recognition, and. the To hauntepec people are willing to take anything they can get. These is some talk of a coalition in the legislature next winter where ' by Democratic votes would elect John H. Mitchell TJ. S. senator. !Th.ere is nothing in it. The last sen atorial fight ended that matter. Thousands of columns are. pub lished explaining why Blaine was defeated. -The principal reason seems to He because he didn't get onoagh votes. i Squaws voted in various parts of ' Washington territory in tho last election. r .- The newspapers are naming brides . for Cleveland at the rate "of three a 'day.

A Votintr CSIpI'h Drmnttfn- How It Wan )cm-ioiioI nnio Aw ami Nlnrtllnjr Truths The St. Ixiuis KxproM, on tlio Nw York Central Iload, was crovulml one evening recently. hcn at wc of tho way stations an oldcrly gontlomnn c coii.psnicil liy a young lady entered the crs and final ly trcurcd a scat. As Uic conductor approached luc pair, the young lady arose, and in a pleading oice said: "Please, sir, don't let him carry ine to the asylum. I am not crary; I am a lit tle tired, but not mad. Oh J no indeed. "Won't you please have papa take me back home?" The conductor, accustomed though he was to all phases of humanity, looked with astonishment at the pair, as did the other passengers in their vicinity. A few words from the father, however, suf ficed, and the conductor passed on, -while the young lady turned her face to the window. The writer chanced to be seated iust behind the old gentleman, and could not forego the desire to speak to him. "Withascd face and a trem bling voice the father said: "My daughter has been attending the seminary in a distant town and was sue ceeding remarkably. Her natural qual ities, together with a great ambition, placed her in the front ranks of the school, but she studied too closely, was not careful of her health, and her poor brain has been turned. I am taking her to a private asylum where wo hope she will soon be better." At the next station the old man and his daughter left the cars, hut the inci dent, bo suggestive of Shakespeare's Ophelia, awakened strange thoughts in the mind of the writer. It is an abso lute fact that while the population of America increased thirty per cent, dur ing the decade between 1S70 and 1SS0 the insanity increase was over one hun dred and Uariyfivc per cent for the same period. Travelers by rail, by boat, or in carriages in any part of the land see large and elaborate building?, and in quire what they are S Insane asylums ! Who builds them? Each State; every county; hundreds of private individuals, and in all cases their capacity is taxed to the utmost. "Why? Because men, in business and the pro fessions, women, at home or in society, and children at school overtax their mental and nervous forces by work, worry, and care. This brings about ner vous disorders, indigestion, and eventu ally mania. It is not always trouble with tho head that causes insanity. It far oftener arises from evils in other parts of the body. The nervous system determines the status of the brain. Any one who has periodic headaches, occasional dizziness, a dim ness of vision, a ringing in the ears; a feverish head, frequent nausea, or a sink ing at the pit of the stomach, should take warning at once. The stomach and head are in direct sympathy, and if one be impaired the other can never bo in order. Acuta dyspepsia causes more in sane suicides than any other known agency, and the man, woman, or child whose stomach is deranged is not and cannot be safe from tho coming on at any moment of mania in some ouu of its many terrible forms. The value of moderation and the im perative necessity of care in keeping tho stomach right must therefore be clear to all. The least appearance of indiges tion, or mal-assimilation of food should be watched as carefully as the first ap proach of an invading army. Many means have been advocated for meeting such attacks but all have heretofore been more or les3 defective. There can be little doubt, however, that for the purpose of regulating the stomach, toning it up to proper action, keeping its nerves in a normal condition and purifying the Mood, "Warner's Tippecanoe The Best, excels all ancient or recent discoveries. It is absolutely pure and vegetable; it i3 certain to add vigor to adults, while it cannot by any possibility injure even a child. The fact that it was used in the days of the fa mous Harrison family, i3 proof positive of its merit, as it has so thoroughly with stood the test of time. As a tonic and rcvivitier it is simply wonderful. It has relieved the agony of the stomach in thousands of cases; soothed the tired nerves; preojeed peaceful sleep and averted the coming on of a mania more to be dreaded than death itself.
