XHE PUBLIC LEDGER. WASHINGTON NEWS. WHAT IS GOING ON ATTHh NATIONAL CAPITAL. rnmmAnt of What is Transpiring in Consaess ana the Various Depart ments of the Government-Personal and Otherwise. BIAINE FOR PRESIDENCY. Tlnprp lias been within a few day a .rmunncr undercurrent in favor of nominating Secretary Blaine for the Presidency despite his letter of withdrawal. Tins is especially iru i n rpcrnvn to the Western Republi l- rnns in Washington. The Repub licnn leaders from that section are satisfied with the outlook in respect to Minnesota, Wisconsin, lowa, Nebraska, Washington, Montana and the two Dakotas. Senator Teller, of Colorado, in speaking of this fact, said : "I do not think that any of the Republi can leaders believe that Mr. Blaine put himself beyond the possibility of the nomination when he wrote his letter of withdrawal. When it be comes apparent that the Northwest must be carried solidly, and that Blaine is the only candidate who can assuredly do it, then the common sense of the delegates will teach them' as to who should be the nominee Those who do the figuring calcu late on the loss to the Republicans of New York and expect to make it up by the electoral votes of West ern fetates. THE SILVER QUESTION. "The failure to carry Iowa or Nebraska in case New York goes Democratic, as is probable, would defeat the Republican ticket. It is for these reasons that many of the Western Republicans demands the nominations of Blaine, because he is the almost unanimous choice of the mass of the Republicans in the West." In regard to free coinage, the Senator said that he thought that such a measure would go through both houses at this session. "Will the President veto it ?" he was asked. "I cannot tell " he said. "If he thinks he should be governed by the wishes of the great majority of the people of both parties he will not. If he thinks the wishes of the few should be allowed to control him he will. I feel confident that a bill will be sent to him." "Will the silver question be a prominent issue in the Presidential campaign ?" "It ought to be, but much will depend on the form of the silver planks which may be put into the two platforms. If the two parties are substantially agreed upon the question, either for or against free coinage, then there will be little heard of it." WHAT JERSEY SIMPSON SAYS. Representative Jerry Simpson re turned from the St. Louis Third party convention. "It was a very much better convention," he said "than I had expected. We succeeded remarkably well in harmonizing the various prejudices and in making a short platform. The prohibition and woman suffrage questions were too much for us to carry at this time. Nearly every State in the Union was represented at the con vention. "On the Fourth of July, when we hold our National Convention to nominate candidates for President and Vice-President, every State will be represented. We shall put a strong ticket in the field, and I be lieve we shall carry not less than four States Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. "We will th row the election in the House if we do not elect the Presi dent ourselves. The labor organi zations will be with us, and we shall poll a very large vote. In the South we shall draw from the Democrats, but in the North and West more largely from the Republicans, so that it will about even up the losses between the two old parties." As to the candidates Mr. Simp son said that he thought General Weaver, of Iowa, would be nomina ted for the presidency; that it would certainly he either Weaver or Don nelly. Secretary Elkins has laid his party under everlasting obligations. He has given orders that none of the war records on file in his depart ment shall in the future be subject to public investigation. This course was suggested to the Secretary by the unfortunate experience of the late Mr. Alger. Many a Republican "general" is now authorized to breathe more easily. Congressman Bland is a Kentuck ian, but left that State when he was a young man and has rambled around a good deal in the South and West a sort of rolling stone which has set the proverb at defiances by gathering much silvery moss. The proposed bill relating to the loaning of money by national banks, which is now before the House com mittee on banking and currency, could be simplified and strengthened if it was made a penal offense for the managers or such banks to loan money to themselves. Tobacco Experiment. The chemists of the national de partment of agriculture, says the Manufacturers' Record, are experi inenting with tobacco, to ascertain whether the process in common par lance termed " bulking" can be so done as to improve the flavor of in ferior leaf. When leaf tobacco is heaped in a mass it becomes heated and "sweats" or ferments. During this operation the aromatic aroma is formed. This, says the scientists, is due to bacteria, of which every varie ty of the leaf has its own especial kind. It is said to have been ascer tained that when the bacteria of a highly flavored tobacco has been transferred to inferior stocks, the result has been to impart to the latter all the aroma for which the former is prized. As these experiments are still in progress, it is too early to ad vise tobacco growers to act upon this theory, but from the results thus far obtained, there is reason to expect that before long the department of agriculture will be able to instruct the tobacconists of the United States how to convert mediocre leaf into any desired quality, in so far as the aroma is concerned. Capt- J. D. Johnson. To all whom it may concern: I take great pleasure in testifying to the efficacious qualities of the popular remedy for eruptions of the skin known as P. P. P. I suffered for several years with an unsightly and disagreeable eruption on my face, and tried various remedies to remove it. none of which accomplished the object until this valuable preparation was resorted to. After taking three bottles in accordance with direc tions I am now entirely cured. J. D. Johnson, Of the firm of Johnson & Douglass, Savannah, Ga, P. P. P. Saves Life. A prominent Savannahian, formerly superin tendent of a railroad, says : "I was crippled in my feet and arms so that I could not walk with out crutches, nor eat without having a servant to feed me. I tried physicians evervwhere, but to no purpose, and finally went to New York, where my doctors, at one time, decided to amputate my arm, but found that course impracticable, on account of a wound I had received during the war. I returned to Savannah a complete wreck, and my case seemingly hopeless. As a forlorn hope I began to take P P. P., and am rejoiced to say that after using three bottles, my limbs be gan to straighten out, my appetite and health soon returned, and I now feel like a new man; really as if 1 had been made over again, and as if I could live forever so longas I can get P. P. P." This gentleman will not give his name for publication, but authorizes us to refer anybody to him for a verification of these facts, who will apply to us, Yours truly, Lippman Bros,, Wholesale Druggists, Proprietors of P. P. P., Savannah, Ga. Increase In the Acreage of Tobacco Since the talk of decreasing the cotton acreage, which from all re ports many planters in this State will do, the indications point to a large increase in the acreage of tobacco in those cotton-growing counties in this State where tobacco culture has been successfully tried. This is very well, but the planters should be careful in avoiding one extreme not to rush into another. Tobacco is a much better crop than cotton, but no crop can be depended upon as a certainly, for all are subject to mishaps which cannot be foreseen or guarded against. The planter who plants tobacco should not depend upon that alone any more than the cotton planter should de pend upon cotton alone. He should cultivate only so much as he can handle easily, without going into debt to cultivate it. He should be governed by his means. There is more money in five acres of tobacco well cultivated, well cured, and well handled than there is in twenty acres poorly cultivated, cured and hand led. A man need not borrow money to cultivate a few acres, but he might have to borrow to cultivate twenty acres. In that case it is better and safer to cultivate the few. A mort gaged tobacco crop seldom pans out right well, and sometimes it proves a great disappointment. FARMERS IN COUNCIL. , speech and nominated Gen. Weav er to preside. Thereupon the whole delegation left the hall; others looked on, taking no part while the Third party men yelled themselves hoarse. Weaver ap pointed delegates from the body to confer with the Third party committee. None of the North Carolina delegates would agree to serve on the committee- The result of the committee meeting was a call for a Third party convention.

It soothes he larynx, allays inflammation, strengthens the voice, and for whooping cough, croup, sore throat, and the sudden colds to which children are exposed, this preparation is without equal. "William II. Quartly, Auctioneer, Minla ton, Australia, writes : " In my profession of an auctioneer, any affection of the voice or throat is a serious matter; but, at each attack, I have been BENEFITED BY a few doses of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. This remedy, with ordinary care, has worked such magical effect that I have suffered very little inconvenience." ' Having thoroughly tested the properties of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral as a remedy for bronchitis and throat affections, I am heart ily glad to testify to the intrinsic merits of this preparation." T. J. Macmurray, Au thor and Lecturer, Ripley, Ohio. "Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has cleared and strengthened my voice, so that I am able to speak with very much more ease and com fort than before." (Rev.)
