MAKING THEPRESIDENTAD DOCTOR
OF LAW.

| MAKING THEPRESIDESTA DOCTOR
OF LAW.
A very ''interesting correspondence has
just been given to the public. CHARLES w.
! Eliot, President of Harvard University,
transmits to "Ulysses S. Grant, President
of the United States" ''the diploma of the
degree Of Doctor of Laws" which was
conferred upon him by that University at
the commencement in June last, in recog-
milton of his distinguished services both IN
war and pesce--in war, in preserving the
integrity of the national territory and the
national institutions; in peace, in strengthen
ing the national credit, tightening the public
burdens, reforming the civil service and
settling By arbitration grave disputes of
long Standing between this country and
Great Britain" Under date Of Nov. 80,
Grant writes "Charles w. Eliot, ESQ,
President Harvard University" the follow
ing acknowledgement:
"Your very kind and complimentary
letter of the Goth inst, with the diploma
comforting on me the degree of Doctor of
Laws by Harvard University, is just re-
ceived. Permit me to thank the faculty Of
Harvard, through you, for this mark Of
their approval of my efforts to serve our
beloved country, both in time of war and
in time of peace. Il will be my effort to
continue to deserve that confidence. Be
assured that shall ever hold in high es-
TEEN the parchment and your letter accom-
panying it as marked testimonials of that
approval"
The Cincinnati Enquirer says: go be
"Doctor of Laws" would imply that man
SO designated was learned publicst or
iurist. Not one of Gen. Grants friends
will claim that he is either. His studies in
Hfs-ifhe has ever sutdied-have been pre-.
cisely Of that character the furtherest re-
moved from this college designation. It's
really au imposition upon the real doctors
of Laws" to have horde of honorary as
sociates who happen TO know no more about
laws than they do about the lost Pletsdes."
If Jack Downing were living, he would in
terview Grant, and in view of what has
been done during the past four years, would
elicit from him this explanation Of the rea-
son for making the President doctor of
Laws -
'You know thar's pesky many Of them
ar laws passed through Congress, that are
rickety things. Some Of 'em have very
poor constitutions, and some of 'em hav'nt
no constitutions al all, So that it is neces-
sary to have somebody there to doctor 'em
up little, and not let 'em 60 out into the
world, where they would stand chance TO
catch cold and be sick, without they had
good constitution 10 bear it. You know
I've had 10 doctor the laws consider
able, since I've been at Washington,
although / wasn't regular bred doc
tor. Add made out so well about it that
these Cambridge folks think that I'd better
be made into a regular doctor at once, and
then there viii be DO grumbling and dis
putting about my practice"

The most decided specimen of malignant
journalism which We have seen lately is in
the Banner Of yesterday. Under the head
Of Tennessee Politics" we find extracts
from the Shelbyyille Rescue, TIE Hunting
don Democrat aud Franklin Rerieao, papers
with which we do not exchange, defama-
tory Of the UNION AND AMERICAN. Some
of those articles and We believe all of them
appeared during the last political contest
and are not therefore from recent issues of
those journals. If we entertained the dis
position manifested by the Banner we
would rot have to go back to the files of an
existing political contest, but could find in
the very recent columns of the Pittsburg
Post aud the Courier Journal, besides
Tennessee papers, denunciations quite as
severe upon the iOituous course Of the
Banner, IS anything that has ever been said
about the UNION AND AMERICAN.

THE New Xork World Institutes com
paris n Of figures in the last two Congress
ionsl elections in California, which shows
that The people of that State are terribly in
earnest in their war against railroad ag-
erosion and subsidy spOlistion. In four of
The Southern counties the Republican, or
railroad, majority was ,232 last time; this
year tie Demo cratic, or anti-subsidy, ma
ioriiy is 747, a change of 1879 votes, or
about ore-sighth of he entire vote cast.
Six Of The Northern counties, which have
also bad experience of the railroad yoke,
gave the Republican candidate, who ran as
the Republican candidate pure and simple,
processing al utter Innocence of rail road
su5seuiency, 4 majority Of 1905 last time.
This year the same mau came out boldly
for subsidy, ard his anii-rsilroad Antagonist
beat him 1886 votes in those very counties,
. change Of 2,I4l votes, equal TO one-sixth
0; the total poll. No wonder the railroad
interest is the best friend Of laws extending
Federal supervision over the ballot.

GRANT has recalled Col. Markbreit,
United States Minister to Bolivia, and ap-
pointed Gen. Croxton, Of Kentucky, and
Thereby hangs tale" which is explained
by the Cincinnati Enquirer: "The point
doesn't lie in the obscurity of Croxton, for
it is one of Grants peculiarities to drag I'M
known men 10 the surface. This is the
point: The present Minister to Bolivia is
Col. Markbreit, Of this city. He was a
warm supporter of Grant and his Admins
tratioD, and the affairs of his mission have
been conducted at all times in a satisfac-
tory manner. But Col. Markbreit is a
hrotheT-in-lsw of Hon. Fred Hassaurek.
The Administration couldn't strike Mr.. II
but it thought iE could annoy him by re-
moving his relative. 1t was mean thing
to do, and of course Grant die it." The
reader will appreciate the act when inform
ed that Hasssurek is a Liberal Republican
and opposed Grant in the late election.

THE most curious of the many strikes
which are now vexing the employers of the
old world is that of the leading Paris &C
tresses. They Go not want more pay, but
are groaning under the necessity of paying
large sums for genuine jewels, and costly
silks and yelvets. In old times tinsel orna-
ments and cotton velvets were thought good
enough for the stage. Of late such imita-
tons have not been allowed, and as the &C
tresses cannot afford to buy robes and Jew
els fit for real Queen or Duchess, they
have struck.
