Current Comment

The Potter investigation is not the only
sensation at Washington. The chief of a
division in the general land office, an old gen.
tleman of Is, who has been in the service
20 years, has resigned.
Mr.. Potter's investigators should review
the career of Glover thoughtfully. and then
take to their heels. They have begun to
pull in Democrats with alarming regularity,
and the fishing isn't fairly under way either.
A Republican Congressional Convention
out in Iowa last week had to take 139 ballots
before getting a candidate, aid Democratic
one in Illinois had taken 2sl at last accounts
and was apparently No nearer Q settlement
than at the start.
That sprightly Offspring of stuffed ballot
box, Banning, of Ohio, is walking about
Washington, wagging his head solenlly over
Anderson's compilation OF forgerlss and per-
jnries, and renarking: sit looks bad. Gen.
tlemen from whom We expected better things
are seriously involved, The reporter of the
Post, who extracted this opinion, does not
say how the great man csnso!ed himself for
this shock to his confidence, but IL is reasona-
BILE to suppose that he felt thankful that he
had never been a man Of whom ANYBODY
could "expect better things"

gresham Sloss, of Alabama, and 4. L. An

"must be evident to all thinking persons''
that the Potter resolution means mischief.
and that he sis an unvise and dangerous
legislator who seeks to disturb the harmony.

They have refused to say so several times

only because it was irrelevant. Now that
they have seen the case unfolded and got a

THE fate of the Tuieries, which has been
royal palace since its erection by Catherine
de Medicis, three centuries ago, appears to be
decided. There now is bill before the Leg
islative Chambers for its restoration, not as it
was before its destruction by mob in 1871, but
to serve as museum of modern art. The es-
timated cost is $1.O2000O, and this
without rebuilding the portions added
by Louis Philippe and Louis Napoleon,
which were without architectural interest, and
designed only to increase the accommodation
for its occupants. Under the proposed con-
struction the Tuileries will be a detached pile
supplementary to the Louvre, and with gar

Culinaire, which means an association
of the cooks employed in the many
hotels and restaurants of that city. The
ball was gotten up in superb style, as
might be inferred from the fact that
the music was furnished by Ballen-

supper. it was simply immense. Two
sucking pigs were represented as stand
on their hind legs, with swords in their
fore paws like duelists while At the
other end of the table were two more

other. as if to say MY dear little
