The civil service rules mny be liken ed to n punching bag in a public gym nasium, und tho senntors nuil repre sentatives to the punchers. Whether thoy can punch the bag to pieces is yet to be scon. Tho soiiato civil sorvico committee is propnrlng to make an ex haustive investigation ef tho workings of ttru civil son-Ice uiwlur tlio.se rules, hut that isn't gulag fimt enough for souio of the opponents of Mr. Cleve land's numerous extensionsof tho rule, und Representative Corliss, of Mich., bus offered a joint resolution providing fer thu repeul of every extension innilo under the lust udmlnlstralion. Mr. Oorllt tried to get iminedlato consider atlou for thu resolution, but Sponker Reed would not Imvo It Hint way, so It has gone to join the numerous blllsand resolutions wliloh are awaiting Hie up ointment of this bou.su committees. Mr. Corliss says that President Mo Klnley lias the autliorlty to rescind those rules, but tbat ho thinks it would only bo right for congresx to'nssumo the responsibility of doing so. Tho bouse is taking tilings quite easy since tho passago of the tariff bill. It met Saturday but only remained in session a abort time, during which it adopted the joiut resolution to charter n vessel to carry the grain which has been contributed to fainino 'stricken India by citizens of the United States. It then adjourned until Woilucsday, and tho present understanding Is that It will only meet Wednesdays ami Sat urdsys until tho senate acts on tho tmrifr hill. Members of thu seuate committee on liuanco are working night and day on thotaiiir bill, their intontbii being to go over the entire bill Item by Item. If they have arrived at any con clusions, they have not announced them, notwithstanding what purport to be assertions te the contrary. Kow people bollove that tho clause making the new duties go Into effect April 1, will bo In the bill when it passes tho onate, although it may be left in until just before thu llnal vote is taken, for the purpose ol keeping down importa tions. The western senators who have been so vigorously protesting against the order UmisiI by President Cleveland just before the close of his term, setting apart twenty-one forest reservations In tho wct have partially gained their polut. The national forestry commis sion has been summoned' to Washing ton to talk over tho matter with lrcj,. dent McKinley, who is already satis tied that l'lesldent Cleveland's pro eluinatlon was entirely too comprehen sive. It is not expected that tho Clove land order will bo olllelally rescinded, but that as ouch of the reservations aio surveyed, the president will ovompt from tlie provisions of the Cleveland order snob lands as are of a mineral or agricultural character, or where bet tier's right would bo tramplod upon. It doesn't seem to occur to some of tho admirers of ox-iecrotary Carlisle tbat thoy are not adding anytblug to that Rontlemau's reputation by spread iug the hows of his having boon em ployed at a tlboral salary to look after tho legal iuterests in tho soutborn states of the great banking establish ment of J. Piorponl Morgan. No appointment made by President McKinley has been moro gonorally commended than that of Hon. lieu jamin Buttorworth to bo commissioner of patents.

It is understood that Presi dent McKinley bad considerable dlflculty In persuading Mr. Butter worth to accept tho place, and that his incoino will bo less in office than it would bavo boon out of ofllco. Bo that as it may, it Is a good thing for those hav ing business with tho patent ofllco that ho accepted. That ofllco is badly lu need of his experience, wide know ledge of patent law und practice, as well as of tho prestlgo that a man of his influence and fame will command. Tho groat interest in Greece nroused by tho plucky position the little coun try now occupies has served to call attontion to the fact that Greece bus no minister In Washington, There was a Greek minister in Washington a few years ago, and there is a little mystery connected with bis early departure for home on a "leave of abieuse," which linn never expired. Some say that the Greek government concluded that it could not afford to keep a minister aid legation in Washington and quietly withdrow by the "loavo of absense" routo, but the story most believed in Washington is that tho minister, who adhered to the Greek costume at all times, left in a dudgeon because he was followed around the streets by hood lums and Idlers and comments made upon his appearance. m Americans are the most inventivo people on earth.

Unless the populist legislature ad journs too soon it will probably con fer a great favor on Nebraska hogs. We have understood all along that tho legislature was supreme us to law. Wo understand that it now proposes to control nature unet a bill lias been been introduced for the abolition of hog cholera. We hope the bill will be passed before adjournment, but then porhaps the adjournment itself would bo a rare preventive of the disease. The recount has seemingly failed. There Is one tangible result, that is that a populist legislature has declared the ignorance of tho election ofllcials in almost every county. Iu Webster county it was found that the poor ignorant ofllcials had made 1311 mis takes aud still when thu supreme momeuicauie tbo nrrvo failed aud tbo recount is ended or will be when the populist supernumeraries who had a job are paid.

It la not reasonable to expect to bo cured of any disease, no matter how constant and persevering the treat nient, when that treatment is alto gether misdirected, and can not possi bly reach the trouble. This explains why those afflicted with catarrh meet with so much dis couragement, Though they faithfully take the usual treatment consisting of sprays, waskes, etc., and pass through tie summer without much discomfort, aa soon aa cold weather returns, they find themselves more firmly in the grip of the disease than ever. Such resulta could hardly be expected if the proper treatment had been given. Any one who haa had experience with catarrh will readily admit that it is one of the most obstinate of diseases; It Is easy to see, therefore, that it la deep-seated, and that no remedy which merely reaches the surface can have the slightest effect upon It. The only known cure for catarrh is a real blood remedy, one which gets at the seat of the disease the cause of the trouble and forces it from the system. Such remedy la S. S. S. (Swift's Specific). Mr. H. P. Cook, Mr. H. P. Cook, of 32 Walker street, Atlanta, Ga., Buffered intensely from catarrh. He says : "I at first thought I had only a bad cold, and didn't give much atten tion to the obstructions in my nose and throat. This soon becarao notice able, and began to so inconvenlenco me, that I applied for treatment and was given the usual local applications of sprays, washes, etc. The Immediate effect of the treatment was to relieve me, but only for a short time after ap plication, and I could easily see, that the disease was growing worse stead ily, and seemed to grow deeper toward my lungs ; my nose and throat were constantly choked up, so that I was all the time hawking and spitting, and to add to it all, the disease became very offensive. I waa unable to obtain much aleep, being compelled to get up constantly during the night to clear my throat and keep from choking. "I tried various treatments without relief, aa none of the medicines seemed to reach the disease. Finally, some one recommended S. S. S., and before I had finlshedone bottle, I felt better. I continued the medicine, and it cured me permanently. I truly believe S.S.S. is the only cure for catarrh, the most abominable of all diseases." 8. S, S. U unlike all other blood remedies, because it is more than a mere tonic, and goes directly to the seat of all blood diseases, and cures the most aggravated cases of Cancer, Ca tarrh, Rheumatism, Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc. S.
