Paris special: The Government was defeated in the vote on the Honor amend' went, and regarding that as a vote of lack of confidence the ministry resigned. The M. Bitot cabinet has held sway for eleven weeks. Ever since this ministry came Into power the opponents of the movement have sought an opportunity to overthrow them. The Panama scandal, It was thought, would afford the opportunity, but though more than once attacks were made none proved successful, the chamber each time voting confidence In the Government and discomfiting their enemies. The adverse majority of five votes cast by the Chamber of Deputies on the liquor amendment was more or less a surprise to tbe Government, and after due deliberation the ministers decided to regard it as a vote oi want of confidence. As stated above, their resignation followed. No action has yet been taken towards forming another cabinet. A Ballroad Hello. One of the most interesting of the displays to be presented at the World's Fair by tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company is the antique locomotive "John Bull" and a train of cars attached, such as were in nse on the old Camden and Amboy railroad, the route between Philadelphia and New fork, in 1836.

The President has appointed Thomas F. Bayard Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, and thus is the story of Minister Lincoln's retention officially exploded. The appointment is not a surprise and it meets with the most general approval. As an ex-member of the Senate Mr. Bayard was confirmed at once as the first embassador under the new order of diplomatic rank. Mr. Bayard might have had bis old position as Secretary of State, had he desired, but he preferred service abroad, and being permitted to make his own selection he chose Great Britain. A Bad Break.

Colonel Shepard had been In good health, but nearly a month ago he noticed symptoms that led him to believe that he was afflicted with stone in the bladder. He let it go and did not consult a physician until a week ago, when he went to Dr. McLano and told him of bis suspicions. The doctor onfirmed them and advised him to at loast submit to an examination, and to undergo an operation should it be deemed neces sary.

There will be an extra session of Con gress, and It will convene some time in September. Ihere need bo no doubt about this, for tbe President has so decided and made his decision known. The President shortly before the Inauguration had some thought of calling an extra session for April or May, but he has concluded that September will be the earliest time con sistent with several necessary considerations, and so September has been decided upon. One of tbe President's reasons for not calling an extra session earlier Is his desire thrt a tariff bill of such a character as to suit tho leaders of Hie Democratic party in Congress as well as himself shall be completed ready for tbe immediate consideration of Congress upon convening. All this 1U require time. The President, Secretary Carlisle and tho leading Democratic tariff reformers intend to devote a large part of the summer to framing this bill, and the President believes that when It has been submitted to Congress and the people have had a chance to examine 11 they will proclaim it a work of art FOREIGN. The Attorney General of Panama has. demanded that Jose Meardl. a native of Buenos Ayres, and for some years residual, in Italy, be executed.

C0L0NELS"INC0NTI10L HOW THE UNITED STATES SENATE IS ORGANIZED.

Out. of Forty-one Committees to Which Chairmen Have neon Assigned. Only Thirteen Northern Men Have Secured Chairmanships tirover the Ureal. The South lu tho Saddle. For the first time in many y'sars the formation of the United States Senate committees is in the hands of the Democrats, and already most of the Important places have been allotted. The list of chairmen so far chosen is full of siu;nilleancc. Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, heads the an' propriatkm committee. White, of Louisiana, another Southern Demo crat, should work with a common purpose as chairman of the committee on contingent expenses. Senator Call, the Florida Bourbon, is given first place on the committee which has charge of civil service bills. The three Democrats who serve with him are all from the South. Hundreds of millions in Southern claims will probably be urged for payment in tho next Congress as they never were before. Senator l'asco, of Florida, is chairman of the claims committee. All three of his Democratic associates are Southerners. The great subjects which come before the Commerce Committee will be submitted to seven Democrats and six ltepublicans, and ot the Democrats the Chairman, Sonator Ransom, of North Carolina, and four others are from the South. Tho Finance Committee has Voorhecs, of Indiana, a Northern man, but erratic and unsound on flnaricial questions, at its head. With him are four Southern Democrats and Senator McPhcrsou, of Jfew Jersey, the only safe man of the lot, to make up the Democratic majority. The llsherles arc a Northern interest most emphatically, but Senator Coke, of Texas, is chairman of the committee to which this subject is assigned. The Committee on Foreign delations is headed by Senator Morgan, of Alabama, and three of the four Democrats who serve with him are Southerners. The Interstate Commerce Committee surely ought to have a Northern man at its head, but Butler, of South Carolina, has been given the place. With him will work four other Democrats from the former slave States, and the one Northern man in the majority will be that eminent railroad jobber, Brice, of Ohio and Wall street, who is wholly unfit for the duties of a committee which ought to be devoted to the interests of the people and not of the common carriers. For that matter Gorman, of Maryland, and Camden, of West Virginia, are thoroughly bound to the corporations, which need careful watching and regulation. Senator Pugh, of Alabama, Is chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Walthall, of Mississippi, is at the head of the Committee on Military Affairs, and Gray, of Delaware, is chairman of the Committee on Patents. The Manufactures Committee Is headed by Senator Gibson, of Maryland. The great bulk of the postal business of the United States is done in the North, but the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads is in charge of Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, as chairman, and three other Demo crats from the South serve with liim. Senator Vance, of North Carolina, is at the head of the Privileges and Elections Committee, and the ma jority party might as well be wholly represented by Southerners. Two of them arc from the old slave States, iind Turpie, of Indiana, and Palmer. of Illinois, will never stand in 'their way. The South should get its full share of the money appropriated for public buildings while Vest, of Missouri, is chairman of tho committee having charge of that subject, and bis Democratic associates are all Southerners except Brice. whose property interests are largely in Southern railroads. Senator Berry, ! of Arkansas, is placed at the hoad of the Public Lands Committee, and Camden, of West Virginia, a rich man having large corporation invest ments, is the friendly chairman of the Committee on Railroads. So it goes throughout the list, says the Cleveland Leader, small committees on unimportant subjects furnishing nearly all of the chairmanships given to Democrats from the North. Out of the forty-one committees to which chairmen have been assigned twenty-eight will be headed by Senators from the South, and only thirteen will have Northern chairmen. Of committees having nine or more members eight will be directed by men from the North, and eighteen have Southern Senators for chairmen. In the Senate, at least, the preponderance of Southern influence and Southern leaders is evidently to be in inverse ratio to the population, business interests, and general importance of the Southern States. Orover the tireat. The vaunted statesmanship of Grover Cleveland is a myth, lie is a politician of the practical sort, and the first prizes he has given out have been captured by men of that stamp. Josiah Quincy. chairman of the Massachusetts Democratic Committee, and Isaac Pusey Gray, the chronic ofliee-seeker of Indiana, arc honored in advance of everybody else. Cleveland's action in sending Minister West out of the country because of the Murchison letter and his message on the fisheries iiuestion in I88f: were both bids for the Irish vote which none but a practical politician would have made. Cleveland has, however, attained the height of his ambition. He knows that he cannot hope for a third term as President and he will make his personal administration distasteful alike to the Democratic party and to the country. Rumor has it of course nobody can find out what Mr. Cleveland thinks that no Democrat will get an office until the commissions of Republicans holding office expire. It is also announced that no offices will be given to the constituents of Democratic Congressmen who oppose the repeal of the Sherman silver law. This will bring the entire Democratic party to its knees in humility before Grover the Great. David B. Hill recognizes the inevitable and he lias already humbled himself. This is but the beginning, and before Cleveland retiies from office the Democrats will be as tired of him as the country at large is disgusted with the benevolent paternalism of his personal adininjstration. The Rush for the Nunlls. The importance which the Democratic party attach to Mr. Cleveland's pompous profession or civil service reform is shown by the frantic rush of ofiicc grabbers to tho national capital. The morning Mugwump journal of this city confesses despairingly that "despite t he perfectly plain utterances of Mr. Cleveland before taking office, and the equally distinct and significant words ot his inaugural address, all rejwrts agree that Washington is swarming with office-

seekers." The horde of hungry and thirsty Democrats, who are besieging every executive department, know that the "perfectly plain utterances" about which the Mugwumps prato are no more valuable than the same

kind of "utterances" eight years ago. Mr. Cleveland's pretenses cf devotion to non-partisan civil service dur ing his previous term only made his complete surrender to the spoils politicians more conspicuous than it would otherwise have been. No mat ter how many blustering professions he may make now, tho result will lie the same. The conspiracy for public plunder known as the Democratic party will get the spoils and make the most of them. New York Press. It. Impoverishes Farmers. The same promises made by Democrats to agricultural voters in the last campaign were made by their predecessors to the farmers In order to win their support for the free trade tariff of 1816. now well tboso promises were kept is recorded in the annual messages of President Fillmore, written after the free trade act had got under full headway. In the message of 1 8: 1 he said: "The value of our exports of breadstuffs and provisions, which it was supposed the incentive of a low tariff and largo importation from abroad would greatly augment, has fallen from $68,000,000 in 1847 to $21,000,000 in 1851, with almost a certainty of a still further reduction in 18,"ii." The farmer's welfare was assailed not alone by a loss of markets for his produce. His living expenses, the prices of the "necessaries of life," of which we have heard so much from Democratic campaigners, were likewise Increased. In his next animal message, in 1852, President Fillmore felt constrained to call the attention of Congress and the country to the fact that "the destruction of our manufactures by the tariff of 1 840 leaves the foreigner without competition in our aiarket, and he consequently raises, the prico of the articles sent hero for sale. " If anything has been established by the experience of nations it is that agriculture is speedily impoverished by a free trade policy. Our own experience under free trade is re-en-forced by the wretchedness of agriculture in Ireland and Great Britain. A isiilion Dollar Congress at Iist. A comparison between the appropriations of the last two Congresses made "by Seiiaior Allison shows that the Democrats surpassed their llcpublican predecessors by $38, 404,OnU in total expenditures. The appropriations of the flist session of the Fiftyfirst Congress amounted to $40:!,3y8.510, and those of the second session to $525,018,672, a total of $988,417,183. One of the first moves of the immense Democratic majority returned to the House in 1800 was to pass resolutions pledging themselves to economical expenditures. Then they settled down to appropriating the public funds as follows: $507,000,186 in the first session and $oli,22I,8(31 in the session just ended, a total of $1,026,822,040. The Fifty-second Congress goes on record as the real billion dollar Congress, the first we have had sinco the war. Kat Apples. There are very few persons with whom ripe apples do not agree, and they can be made digestible to those with weak stomachs by being baked. Liebig writes of apples as food in the highest terms of praise. He says: "Besides containing a large proportlon of sugar, mucilage, and other nutritive compounds in the form of food, they contain such a fine combination of vegetable acid, extractive substances, and aromatic principles, with the nutritive matter, as to act powerfully in the capacity of refrig erants, tonics, ana antiseptics, and when freely used, at the season of ripeness, by rural laborers and others, they prevent debility, strengthen di gestion, correct tbe putrefactive tendencies of nitrogenous food, avert scurvy, ana probably maintain aim strengthen the power of productive labor. Where Would He Be "At?" Piesident Cleveland is said to have determined not to appoint editors to office. Tho reason given is that it looks too much like a reward for past services or a fee for future ones. This looks like a far-stretched discrimination against the newspaper profession. Editors do not stand on a different footing in this regard from other professions, except that, as a class, they render more party service than any other. As olllces generally go according to party service, why should not editors be rewarded as well as others? If Mr. Cleveland had made known this determination six months ago, where would he now be "at?" Due to False lretenscs. How does Mr. Cleveland reconcile his declaration that "every American citizen must contemplate with the utmost, pride and enthusiasm the growth and expansion of our country," and "the wonderful thrift and enterprise of our people," with the statement of the Chicago platform, that "we deny that there has leen any increase of prosperity to the country since the tariff went into operation and we point to the dullness and, distress," etc.? His last inaugural is a coii-ession that as far as tho tariff is concerned his election last fall was due to false pretenses. lleneflts of Kel-lprorlty. Our exports to Cuba, during the year 1802, were valued at $10,782,014, against $10,900,789 the year previous. The increase is due to the reciprocal arrangement made under tho McKlnley law. The increase in breadstuiTs was from $812,642, in 1891, to $1,638,525, in 1892, or 334 per cent. That is, reciprocity has practically given the American farmer and miller the Cuban market. Canuueks Like Cleveland. Canada is much pleased to have Mr. Cleveland President, because it hopes-for a tariff revision which will give Canadian farmers a better chance in the markets 0 the United States. Make our markets free 10 Canadian hay, horses, hops,, barley, flaxseed, poultry, eggs, and potatoes, and the Canadian annexation agitation would cease. Indianapolis Journal. Can Slfru His Nana.

Tub Harrison administration paid off $290,000,000 of the public debt, and reduced the annual interest charge to the extent of $55,000,000; but that kind of statesmanship will now come to a stop for four years.

NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every clas3 of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been ablo to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which i3 very plcasar t and harmless iu all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all tho ailmente to which tho human family is heir, are dependent ou nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food iu tho blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is tho result Starved nerves, like starved muscles, lecome strong when tho right kind of fo ul is i.upplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which tho vital forces of the body are carried on, it is tho first to suffer for want of perf jet nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair tho wear our present mode ot living and .labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This recent production of the South American Continent has been found, by analysis, to contain tho essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure al l forms of nervous derangements.
