CIinging TO Red Tape.

Unlike the usual nine days wonder,
the case of Sergeant Mason, sentenced
TO the Albany Penetentiary for eight
years. for alleged attempt to kill the
murderer of President Garfield, does
not sink into oblivion, buried under
other and newer sensations. Since his
incarceration nine hundred thousand
citizens have united in monster petit
tons to the President to pardon Mason
out. These petitions have invariably
been turned over to Secretary Lincoln
and that gentlemen has seen fit to sup
erciliously ignore the wishes of nearly
a million of his fellow citizens. The
latest excuse offered by the Secretary
is, that the ground of the petition;
namely, that the sentence ''was unnec-
essarily severe and unwaranted by the
circumstances WIS not correct, and
that to recognize the petitions would
be to give way to the very essence of
mob law. In the same sentence the
worthy secretary deigns to intimate
that possibly the wishes of the people
might be granted more of a hearing if
they were couched in different lang
uage, asking for pardon for instance,
on the ground of executive clemency
alone. The head of the department is
very much afraid that by granting a
respectful request of the people his lit
tie red tape bureau might suffer some
kind of damage, and therefore stoutly
contends for the pound of flesh unless
his hand is loosened in some more hum
BILE manner
If this pleading had been before the
father instead of the son, the difference
between ''the greatest Roman of them
all and his effeminate offspring, both
in moral greatness and generosity,
would have been promptly disclosed.
Great hearted Abraham Lincoln was
tied down by no bands of red tape, or
governed by aught but the claims of
justice, tempered with mercy, and
standing, as he did, head and
shoulders above his fellows morally
and mentally, as well as physically,
would at once have recognized the
voice of the people in their demand for
a just reprieve.

note in his possession written by Horace
Greeley. Several persons tackled the
chirography, which looked ike a quot

this as the result of his labors: dough.

Evergreen Monuments.

4 suggestion offered by ex-Gov Sey-
mour of New York in regard to decor
alton day services is well worthy of
attention. The Governor proposes that
in addition TO the other ceremonies of
the day the additional one of tree plant
ing be added, so that in the future the
towering tops of these emerald crested
giants would bear perpetual testimony
to the gallant deeds of the boys in blue.
Nothing could be more appropriate or
fitting. Each city, village or hamlet
nestled down among the hills, would,
with every new year, take on added
beauty and each new leaf as it was
turned would renew the memories of
the brave dead quietly sleeping in their
graves beneath other trees, some in the
quiet graveyards of the north, others
where the south wind sweeps with a
mournful requiem over the grass clad
mounds. Stored urn nor lofty monu-
ment would bear not one half so hand
some tribute to the gallant army of
heroes whom it is not only duty but u
pleasure to remember in the solemn
services of decoration day.

Knew Them BY Their Knocks.

Pop Talcott, one of the oldest of the
newspaper reporters of congressional
debates, is a very nervous individual.
He has had his system shattered by
listening to congressional speeches for
upward of twenty years. He is very
much annoyed when he is following a
speech if the careless specials about
him disturb the quiet of the gallery.
The other day Bickferd, of The New
York Tribune bureau, annoyed Talcott
by idly drumming the devils tattoo on
the rail alongside where he was writing.
Talcott offered to buy Bickford small
drum and sticks if he would only 90
out of the gallery to indulge in the
amusement. Bickford apologized, but
q moment after, in fit of absent-mind-
edness, he began again. Talcott then
handed him two penholders for drum
sticks. And again BickfoId was silenc-
ed. The next day Talcott was in the
house reporting. Drumming began on
the rail by his side soon after he began
work Talcott snarled. That's The
New York Tribune signal" Turning
around. he saw Maj. Clark, of The Tri-
bune, by his side. He said, major, do
you know how l always tell New
York Tribune man." NO" said
Clark. ''By their drumming" said
Talcott, .swhere other people want to
work" The next day Talcott was back
in the senate. A young man, a stranger
to Talcott, came and sat down by his
side. In a moment he began to drum
in = absent minded way, and Talcott
exclaimed. as he turned around,
Young man. do you belong to The
New York Tribune? | should judge so
by your ability and skill as drummer, >
The young man smiled sadly as he
said. my name is Lloyd By this
name Mr.. Taleott recognized the chief
of the Washington bureau of The New
York Tribune. Mutual explanations
followed - Chicago Times.

Saline parasol of the same or constrast-

are of plain silk or satin, without the

without an edging of white Spanish lace.
Sizes are large, and ten ribs a fashion
