to the ofllco formeily hold bj hlmseif , may
npply for another position with as good a
chance for sclei tlon as nnj other candidate
The exception has not jot been cloirly do-

Jllncicichscn , the seciotan of st.Uo of
Illinois , b.is spoken to the president about
it , and his understanding utts that appoint

lield by the applicant was open to the latter
thiough the usual ehnnnuls of iniluenco and

Mr. Cleveland Intimated th.it If ho made
the appointments desired ho would do so
with the undoistaudlng that the people of
the comnumltj would assume the icsponsl-
bllity for his action.

Postmaster General Blssell stated today
that no editor was placed under an honcl.id

took this action In spite of the fact that an

WASIIISOTOV , D. C , March 23 All the
delegates to the recent Intern itlonal mone

members of congress it Is believed that the
president will send a commission to Brussels
to represent this country when the con
ference icassembles It was the United
States , they say , which first suggested the
conference , and as long as any nation signi
fies its intention to participate in Its second
session it will bo necessary for this country
to ha\o rpnrcsnnt.ltlon For this reason ,
alone , U Is thought by them that a new
commission will shortly bo appointed by Mr.
Cleveland
'I ho secietarj- st ito is now endeavoring
to ascertain how many countiics w 111 bo rep-
icscnted at the reasso.nblmg of the confor-
6nSo. The adjouinmcnt took place on De

BABIES ON FIRE
Babies burning up , babies in ncrony
fiom itching nnd burning ccvomna and
ether torturing , disfiguring , itching ,
burning , blooding , scaly and blotchy
bkin and scalp diseases. None but
mothers roalUo how these little ones
suffer when their tender skins are litor-
nlly on llro. To know that a single ap
plication of the CUTICUUV RUMUUIKS
will in the great majority of oases afford
instant roliof. poruiit rest and sloop , and
point to a normanont and economical ( be
cause most speedy ) cure , nnd not to use
them is to fall in your duty. Think of
the years of suffering onlalled by such
neglect , years not only of physical but
of mental suffering by reason of potsonal
disfigurement. Why delay a moment
longer the use of these great skin cures
blood purtftars , and humor remedies ?
Cures made in infancy and childhood
are speedy , economical , nnd almost in
variably permanent.
