on political topics in the New York daily pa
pers, and occasionally from papars published
IN other cities, which cuttings were handed
TO him in bunch for his perusal late in the
afternoon or in the evening Mr.. Hayes
does not follow this system; or, rather, he
has materially modified it. It is the duty of
one of the clerks at the White House to take
charge of all the newspapers received.
Enough of them to fill bushel basket are
received every day. Many of them are un-
important. fhe newspaper clerk cuts from
most of the influential papers such editorial
| and other matter as he thinks of interest to
the President, which he afterwart
pastes in scrap-books, OF which a series is
Kept. The President from time to time runs
owe these books, and sees what the
newspapers OF the country are saying abou,
nm and his administration. Mrs HAYES
takes number of religious weeklies, mostly
of the Methodist denomination. and these
with Harper's Weekly and copies of daily
papers, containing matters of special interest
to the family of the White House, are usu
ally to be found scattered over the hbrar,

The Chicago Tribune conceises that AIR.
Woods resolution authorizing tho several com
mitteea to inquire into the management of all
the executive departments Is cunning device
for SO occupying the members OF the House
that they will not have tins to remonetize sill
Yer. The Tribune should reflect that the House
is SO strongly IN favor of silver that it VIII
promptly dispose OF the question in whatever
shape and whenever it is again presented TO it.
That question is settled 30 fer as the House is
concerned, and the committees will have ample
time to learn what can be learned Of the
crooked doings Of the past sixteen years. which
are still of record. Perhaps they may learn
why two OF three attempta have been made to
destroy records.
