ABSENCE OF TILE PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON. Nav 1G.-The temporary
absence Of the President is very cmbarraSs-
ing and annoying to the crossroads and
bar-room politicians. They spent nearly
all their cash in travelling expenses, and
can't afIorC, to wait several days in this en-
pcnsivc town while the President is off on
n pleasure trip. It's too bad. Now, Fir-
ginans and Marylanders have an advan-
tagc over other placc-huntcrs. Their States
lie so conveniently near it don't cost much
to get here. and il the cash runs short they
can walk home. Yet they are not happy.
