A New Day at Washington.

From the Boston Transcript.
There is force a!d dstinctness an earnest
honest purpose, aa. en- underlying condemna-
tion of all forms OF official vilIa.ny in Attorney
General Brewster's letter respecting certain
Washington incua.bents of office whom the
President has removed. that cannot fail of being
Beneficial! feit wherever the government SER
vice extends. 1t is worth something to the
whole country to have even q document emana-
ting from the i;epai tment of Justice in these
days OF corruption. based upon the Oid-fash-
Toned reprUbation Of crime. and one which
sweeps away al the sOph!sticai reasoning that
would pallate fragrant breaches of trust and
reduce gigantic swindlinc of the public so that
1t MAY become parConabie offence Swift
pursuit and adequate punishment of the star
route thieves and all aiding and abetting them
gieam from every paragraph OF the Attorney
Generals letter TO President Arthur. TheindI-
viduals to whom Brewster's message goes
greeting may well cover under the emphatic
evidence 1t contains of the stern determination
OF all responsible for their prosecution.
No one will hereafter question the sincerity of
the administration in its efforts to secure th.,
conviction of the star route defendants. And
more important than that. as We consider it, is
the indication OF such future policy as will
render the government secure against similar
depredations hereafter. The deadly blow lev
eiled against what Brewster calls the worst
band of organized scoundrels that ever existed
Since the commencement of the government y
will scatter the infamous rings which niest
Washington and render it almost impossible for
the public voice to penetrate within the DEPART
ments- The political and moral atmosphere of
Washington has been purified by Brewster's
recommendations and the Presidents acts in
connection Herewith. Neither of these Off
Gals came short of the full requirements of the
OCCASION Brewster did not mnce matters in
aIlnding to the incuipated parties. ard the

Things in the Rottem Drawer.

There are whips and tops and pieces or strings,
There are shoes which no little feet wear;
There are bits OF ribbon and broken riG@S.
And tresses of golden hair;
There are little dresses folle away
Out OF the light Of the sunny day.
There are dainty jackets that never are worn
There are toys and models OF ships;
There are books and pictures all faded and torn,
And marked by the finger tips
o. dfmpled hands that have fallen to dust,
Yet strive to think that the Lord Is Just.
But feeling of bitterness flls my soul
sometimes when try to pray,
Tint the Reaper IS spared SO many flowers
And taken mine away;
AMI almost doubt that the Lord can know
That mothers heart can love them so.
Then think OF the weary ones
Who are waiting and watching tonight.
For the Slow return of the faltering feet
That have Strayei from the paths OF right:
W no have darkened their lives by shame and SIN
Whom the SHARES OF the tempter have gathered in
They wander far in distant climeS,
They perish by fire and fool,
And their han Is are black with the direSt crimes
That kindied the wrath OF God.
Yet 4 mothers song has SOothel them to rest,

Three Troubles.

From the YollEeI'S StGteSfna
Three carpets hung waving in the bl erze.
Abroad IN the breeze AS the sun went down;
And three husbands, with patches OF dirt on their
knees,
Whacked whacks that were heard for miles up
and down.
For men must work and women must clean,
AND the carpets be beaten, no matter how mean.
While the neighborS do the bossing.
Three housewives leaned out OF their windows
OF their windows raised, where the light streamed
In;
And they scrubbed and scrubbed, till their heads
grew daZad,
And their ears were filled with horrible din.
For the pots viii fall, and kettles 60 bang,
Ana boilers refuse in the attic to hang,
While the husbands do the swearing
Three husbands went out in the haymows to hide
In the haynowS to hide, where their wives ne'er
looked
Each said, as he rolled himself DER on his SIDE,
81 guess Will Snooze, for know am booked.
For men may swear, but women may dust;
And before move that stove that l must
stay right here till InorniHg!"
Three judges sat On their benches to Judge
Three case that came from house cleaning row.
The parties asserted they never would bulge,
But wanted divorces fright here and right now -
SO the men went off, AMI the women went home
And hereafter Will do their hoUse-cleaning alone,
While their former partners smoker.
