Mr. E. Elleuy Anderson, of New
York, and his reform club have already
prepared a bill to be submitted to Con
gress. Mi. Anderson seems to have but
little conGtlcncc in the ability of Congress
to prepare a bid, and Cuiigre.-s will doubt

tie contempt it deserves take no notice
of it.
Taos. F. Winn, ex-People's party

try and that if the Democrats cairy out
in good faith llieir platform the People's
party will ;:ive them full credit and act

Third paity lender in Georgia, lakes the
same position and says if the pledges in
the National Democratic platform are
carried out the people ought to be satis
fied. We hope these gentlemen are cor
rect, but very seriously doubt it.

question he may be
It is not kooivu whether Mi Cleve
land will call an extra session. It is the
opinion of the Roanoke News that an
extra session of Cougress ought to be
called at an early day. The Democratic
party in its convention last year pledged
itself to certain measures of government
aod on its appeal to the people was sus
tained and these measures endorsed.
There can be no good reasou for delaying
until the regular session in December
next the work necessary to put these
measures iuto operation. The Congress
knows what the people waut and the
sooner it begins its work the better.
There can be no good reason for six
months delay in beginning to execute the
peoples will, when a beginning could w
as easily made at once. The reduction
of the tariff' and other measures demanded
by the people will require considerable
tune and deliberation, and il action is de
ferred until December it will be mid
summer or later next year before the
measures are perfected and a still longer
time before the people can tell the effects
ol the changes. e hope .Mr. Cleveland
will see tit to call an exira session.
Thk belief which prevails in some
quarters that the Tliir I party is dead is a
mUukeo one. It is well organized and
its members are as determined as ever.
W hether the organization will remain
intact, or will fall to pieces depends in a
very great measure upon the future
progress of the Democratic party. We
believe that if the Democratic party shall
convince the people of the honesty of its
professions by its course during the next
four years the Third party will dwindle
to nothing, notwithstanding the fact that
there are some who will fur their own
personal advancement try to keep it
well organized; because the ma
jority of those who compose the Third
party are in it from a desire to bring about
certain much needed reforms.
But these honest reformers should not
be unreasonable in their expectations of
the Democrats. It is not possible to ac
complish a great deal in a short time, and
the Democracy should have a fair and
impartial and patient trial- The Third
party itself could not accomplish much
until it had had plenty of time. It takes
time to bring about radieil reforms.
Chairman Harrity, of the National
Democratic executive committee is to
have outlined Mr. Cleveland's policy as
follows; In all Congressional districts
members of Congress shall name the
fourth class postmasters and minor posi
tions in the Republican counties and in
such counties as gave them undivided
support in their nominating conventions;
but where it is shown in a district that
the Democratic organization in any of the
counties inimicable to the Congressman
that their wishes will be considered in
these appointments to the exclusion of
the recommendations of the Congressman.
This the President holds forbids the
building up by a Congressman of a
strength peculiar his own, at the expense
of the regular Democracy of the county.
Whether Mr. Harrity spoke by au
thority is not stated, but if he did there
will doubtless be many exceptions to this
as to other rules established by the Pres
ident to govern appointments to office.
Indeed, one rule, that declaring those
who held office under Mr. Cleveland
during his first term to be ineligible now
was not in force twenty-tour hours before
it was modified so as to allow these ex
offiocholders to apply for any place except
the one which tbey formerly held
the ones which they were most fitted to
fill.

SOME ISTEUESriNO ltt:i.ES EOR OFFICE-SEEKERS.
From utterances of the President and
some of the Cabinet ofliceis the following
rules have been deduced for ollieescekers:
1. Incumbents v.ill be retained in
office until the commissions expire, unless
there is voluntary resignation. When
there is no commission fixing tenure 'he
efficient incumbent will be permitted to
serve for four years from the time of ap
pointment. 2. No one who held office undr the
former Cleveland' Administration will be
again appointed in office, the only exeep
tions being railway mail clerks and post
office inspsctors
3. No appointments will be made in
States having spring State elections until
after such elections have occurred.
4. All postmasters must divorce
themselves from private business, except
ing instances where, in the fourth class,
the pay is so small that postmasters will
uot give undivided time to the postoffice.
5. Appointments will not be made
upon magnitude of petitions or indorse
ments alone, but the character, appearance
and evident fitness of the applicant for
the place must also be considered.
G. As appointments are of an execu
tive and not of an political character, rec
ommendations by primary elections will
not prevail.
Rule 1 does not apply to foreign mis
sions, to the higher grades of Consuls
ond to Assistant Secretaries and Chiefs
of Bureaus. It is intended, however, to
cover that vast class of patronage included
in the postoffice, internal revenue and
custom services.
Rule 2 is flexible and will be made to
cover appointees under the first Cleveland
administration who are still in position
outside of the classified services.
Rule iJ is designed to postpone th
contentions for office uutil alter lull atten
tion has been given to the spriug elections.
It is felt that bitterness may be engen
dered among defeated candidates aud
their friends, which may bring about
Apathy at the time of the elections. For
this reason all candidates are expected
to pay their first attention to the elec
tions, and alter that to the offices.
Rule (3 is intended to discourage the
practice of many Congressmen who have
primary elections in order to avoid the
personal responsibility of recommending
several candidates. Cincinnati Tribune.

physicians but nothing gavo me permanent
relief. I had an iron constitution, or I
could not have stood the drain upon me.
"In the fall of 1887 1 was so weak I could
