posed, was not shared by those members Of
the Conference that use tobacco. The de-
bate was growing rather warm when a call
for the previous question on accepting the
candidates put timely end to the discussion.
The vote in favor of the candidate who had
said in the first instance that he would not
abstain was very nearly unanimous, not
more than three votes being in the negative,
and the result was hailed with applause, not
only on the floor of the house, but also in
the galleries, and by some few Of the wo-

developing reputation as a social star, re-
gardless of all political successP' is a ques

to ask. The President is developing much
more as a social than as political manager.
He is excessively fond of dining, and has
already gone out more in general society
than any President of modern times. His
own dinners are very elaborate, and are pre-
pared by his own cook, brought on with him
when he came here. Ordinarily White
House dinners are prepared by some one of
the fashionable caterers of the town. The

House, promises to become more absorbed
than ever in social pursuits President
Arthur is essentially club man. with all
his love of luxury and ease. At home be
had the reputation of being a dexterous
manager Of local politics, but of late he
is accused of either giving politics the
go-by, or else failing to comprehend
the political necessities of his present
position, as judged by the practical poiiti-
clans of Washington. One of his friends, in
commenting upon the subject to-day, said
that ''the President needed more politicians
in his Capinet if he expected 20 succeed in
gaining reputation. Howe is TIE only man
in the Cabinet who has any practical knowl-
edge of politics, and he is old. He is capa-
BILE. however, of giving much better advice
than any of his associates about political
matters. Teller, who has Just been selected
to succeed Kirkwood, is no politician, and
so can not help advance the Presidents for
tunes. The trouble is there are
TOO MANY OLD MEN
in the .Cabinet. They are wearied with the
work of their places when ) o'clock comes,
and cease even TO think till their own work
claims them the next day. They are too old
to have much ambition about the future.
With the end of this Administration they
will go back TO private life, glad of rest dur
luclI tell NOus the RES
ident needs about him younger and more
active men. Then he should gi ge up por-
ton of the time he diverts to social enjoy
ment, and pay more attention to practical
politics"
This opinion, echoed by many of the Re-
publican POI ticians of Washington, gives a
fair idea of he criticism upon the Presi-
dents course thus far from those of his
friends who are DESTROYS OF a second term for
the Arthur Administration. 1t is barely
possible that the President Is even
BETTER POLITICIAN
than those who criticise him; that he recog-
nizss the fact that the greatest prizes in a
public career do not always come to those
who work the hardest and most openly for
them. 1t is among the possibilities that
President Arthur thinks that he will
strengthen himself quite as much by
pursuing a simple policy and carefully
avoiding the use of patronage at his
disposal according to the plan and style of
the average professional politicians,
Arthur's Administration thus far promises
to be one of eminent responsibility, 1t is
chiefly remarkable for negative virtues. The
extreme deliberativeness of the President
will prevent him from approving rashly any
of the themes of robbery and plumber that
will be pushed for sharp action at the close
of this session. In this way it will probably
commend itself more to the approval of the
public than a more vigorous slap-dash
policy with trail of subsidies and Jobs TO

Night Photography.
cleveland Leader.l

Mr. Richard Jahr, young German chem
list and photographer, has accomplished q
great feat among photographers-he has sue
ceeded in taking the first picture by
moonlight A few photographers and scien-
fists, including the late Professor Draper,
have taken photographs of the moon, but
never a moonlight landscape. They are so
called moonlight views" but they are
taken at sunrise and printed dark. The
Philadelphia Photographer of February,
1882, says moonlight photographs never have
been taken, and the author gives it as his
opinion that the feat is impossible. Mr..
Jahr is native of Berlin and pupil of the
eminent German Professor, DIR. VOgel. He
came to America and New York in August,
1881, and to Cleveland about two months
ago, and is now in New York.

eARF1ELD's TOMB THE SUBJECT

When he determined to attempt photo
graphy by moonlight he selected subject
of sad national interest-the vault in Lake
View Cemetery which contained Garfeld's
body. Mr.. Jahr, one moonlight night about
two weeks ago. took his camera TO Lake
View and made an attempt to photograph
the vault. He says moonlight photograph
is possible only with the new gelatine-bro-
mide plates, which are very sensitive and
will take a picture fifteen times quicker
than with the old process. The first night
the plate was exposed three and half hours
but no picture was obtained. The operator
knew not how to proceed or what was
needed before that attempt, but he saw sew
eral defects in his method which at the next
trial he was able to remedy.
The second evening he went out the moon
was obscured by Clouds ana ne fingered in
the cemetery tor four hours in vain. On
the evening of March 3 the young German
made his third scientific pilgrimage to Lake
View. The night was clear and very beau
tiful. He set up his camera few minutes
before o'clock and exposed his sensitive
plate for several hours TO the moonlight
During that time he paced up and down the
silent cemetery with no companion but the
equally silent soldier on guard. At ga. m
be closed his camera and went home with
his picture under his arm, developed his
negative and secured an excellent print.

IN. .. Morning start


We republish to-day An article from
the Cincinnati Gazette which, in hu-
morous and ironical strain, sustains the
doctrines of the pastoral recently issued
nv the Catholic council held in that
city, and ridicules the comments so
generally and absurdly INDUCED in by
the press. Such papers as the Tribune
and Herald of New York seem to think
it an outrage on human rights and hui
man dignity to claim that all political
power comes from God instead of
coming from the people, and that no
man must obey human law when it
