\ Democratic View of the Democratic
Situation.

DAAhhAAon
WdSh iagt0H Special 10 Neyr York Erenfa0 Post
\ prominent Democratic politician. who
holds close relations to one of the Presi-
Dental candidates, in discussing the po-
litical situation, says: ''In regard to
Democratic movements for the Presiden-
cy, il is safe 10 assume that there is a
great deal more in the way Of intrigue 60
ing on in behalf of parties for the Presi-
Dental nomination than appears on the
surface. Ii is to the interest Of such par
ties generally to keep their operations
quiet. There have been certain signs
lately Of Il precOncerted movement in
behalf of Gen. Hancock. Certain papers
have come out for him simultaneously.
Judge Black made a declaration in Penn
sylvanIa. and it looks Il little as if his
friends have come to the conclusion that
il anything is to be done for him they had
better begin at once, and they are making
Il more open demonstration than the
others. There are good many prominent
men who have already been committed to
the Macdonald movement. In the last
few weeks there has been unwOnted ac-
tiyity on the part of Mr.. Tilden's friends
IN New York. some Of the most intelli-
gent New York politicians think that Mr.
Tilden is going to be seriously a candidate,
and some Of those who are very close to
him personally. and who are supporting
him. are now taking steps with view to
his nomination. W neither Mr.. 1llden him.
self is willing or not does not appear.
There are others of his friends who say
that his health is such that he cannot
possibly be a candidate. This embraces
the men I'm whose behalf an active move
ment is going on, but Pendleton is a can
didate for reelection in Ohio to the Sem
ate. and. of course, his friends will also
desire to have the GubernatOrial nOmina-
tion given to some one who is friendly to
PendletOn's reelection, and if his friends
should succeed i'm carrying the convention.
getting their nominee for Governor, and
PendletOn should be reelected to the
Senate, il may be set down for certain that
he will be a serious Presidential candi-
date. PendletOn's friends, nOtwithstand-
ing an effort to the contrary, succeeded
in carrying the convention in Hamilton
county, which is the leading county in the
State, embracing the city of Cincinnati,
for local offices against certain powerful
influences, and also succeeded in electing
the major part Of their ticket, embracing
the offices which they principally desire,
the ones which would be the most effica-
ciOus in securing result in the control of
the convention.
"As regards Butler, it does not appear
that he is candidate. He would not re-
ceive any encouragement from the Demo-
Gratis generally. Governor Cleveland,
who was at one time talked of so much,
is hardly now alluded to as a serious cam
didate.'

Too MANY Trade Dollars in Cuha

HAVANA, April 19.-The excessive

more than ninety cents on the dollar.

Tuden's Wish.

In an account of an interview with
samuel j. Tilden the Boston Post says:
THE Post representative brought the
conversation gradually around to politics
and the outlook for 1884. Mr.. Tilden
emphatically stated that he was not tigur-
ing or in any way bOthering himself about
PARTY politics. either on his own or any
other mans account. His only desire, he
said, was to be let alone He keeps an
c0uraRt regarding the political world by
reading the papers and by communion
with a pleasant circle OF friends.
Although not a candidate for any position
within the gift of the party, Mr. Illden IS
by no means Indifferent to its future. he
considers the chances for the Natl0nal
Democratic party i'm 1884 as OF the
brightest character. as things look to-day,
and he hopes for the best. In answer TO
the question: who. in yedr Judgment,
is the most available man for the Presi-
Dental nomination. the old statesman
cooked his eye, and, looking very wisely
AT the newspaper man, remarked; That
is a matter that has not yet developed :"

PATTI THREATENED.
The Prima Donna Receives a Dynamite
Letter


Madame Adelina Patti received a threat
enIng letter of the most dastardly descrip-
ton yesterday morning. 1t is probable
that it was sent as joke. If it was in
tended in jOcular way, the author of the
letter which follows must have a verv
peculiar idea of what constitutes wit.
Madame PATHS letters are always open-
eel by VI. Franchi, her agent. Among the
budget of epistles handed to him by the
clerk of the Continental Hotel was one

cross-bOnes with dynamite" inscribed
beneath was the heading. and then came
the significant sentence:
Beware not to sing tonight, Tuesday.
The Diva & Scalch."
NJ. FraRchi was not in the least fright
ened by the receipt of the letter, but he
wisely concluded not to show il to Mad
anne Patti or Madame Scalchi. Colonel
Mapleson, Charles MaplesOn, tSignOr Toll
Madame Scalchi'S husband J, are inclined
TO regard the letter as a practical Joke

MODERN DISCIPLES of the Savior
have greatly improved upon the
methods and practices of the found
ers Of Christianity in financial mat.
tiers. If Christ ever had any money
there is no record of the fact, and if
he laid stress upon anything that he
taught it was that the doctrines he
preached should be free for all who
would accept them. The Salvation
Army Eeld meeting in Elk aterEng-
land, fortnight ago, when the
general reported that the corps
have an income of eI2LO00 and
it was announced at the close Of the
that $4,000 had been col
lected during the day; some of the
gifts being as much as $1,000 each.
Modern Christianity is evidently
more profitable to those engaged in
preaching it than was the ancient
article to the early Christian
teachers.

THE TENDENCY Of the American
people to defy a popular individual,
particularly after death, runs to
ridiculous extremes. This growing
mania is likely to be carried to such
an extent that the posterity of men
of real worth, and who merit such
pOstbumOus recognition, will cease
10 consider such marks Of favor
as any honor at al, since it can be
enjoyed by good, bad, and indiffer-
ant, according to the likes of few
Jealous admirers. After all, Pope's
eOupleb tells what most bespesks
the worth of man:
Prsises on tombs as trifes vAinly speak:
A mans good name is his best monu-
ment.

FOUR MILLION letters reached
the dead letter Office in the past year,
and Of these 10000 were not even
addressed. There is no question
about the gross carelessness of
mailing letters tonobOdy, nowhere.
There was scarcely more care taken
with the mailing Of the 40, 600 letters
which brought in 100000. The
postal authorities require so much
care in handling Of letters, and take
so much trouble to deliver them
where they ought to be delivered'
that a letter with fair start very
rarely goes wrong. The first thing
IS to address your letter; the second
TO address it correctly and plainly.
Nothing ought TO be saken for
granted. 1t is better to write states,
counties and towns in full.

A NEW YORK paper advises
young men to keep out Of Office.
The advice is good and would carry
with it a good deal more weight, had
it not peen shown by a rival news
paper that the editor who gave it
had been successfully supervisor,
school commissioner, weighmaster,
member of assembly, librarian of
assembly, assistant assessor of in
ternaI revenue, assessor of internal
revenue, postmaster and canal au-
ditor. A man so much gwen to of.

is, would naturally wantsyOung men

IT IS rather entertaining, in a
humorous sense, to read the tele-
grams nowadays, from Helena
Montana. The Northern Pacific
Railway is about TO enter that town.
ana the people are wildly jubilant.
"Great expectations" is an express
sion which is tame in describing the
feelings of the news-dispatcher. The
railway company has purchased
some hundreds of acres of land in
or adjacent to the burg, and has
evidently made many promises OF
big things for the place. Among
other things a 100000 hotel is to be
erected. Probably real estate is
held at rates 100 per cent. higher
than those of six months ago. 1t is
well that our northern friends
should enjoy themselves now, for
the period of their delight will be
brief. Railroads do as little for
towns as they possibly can; they do
nothing that does not pay the
railroads, whatever it may do for
the people. One thing they never
do-they never build hundred
thousand dollar hotels in interior
towns. The Northern Pacific may
possibly prove an exception to the
railroad rule, but so far on its long
course the only money it has in
vested has been for the direct bene-
fit of the U. P. One of these days
when the trains stop at Helena
only twenty minutes for dinner, and
passengers, instead of dining in
magnificent hotel, stand at deal
board lunch counter, under rustic
shed, our Helena friends will per-
nit their spirits to droop somewhat,
and begin to ask themselves if their
Verdancy was not exposed a few
weeks previously. Whatever is
done for a town must be done by
the people themselves; the railroads
simply make it possible for the
people to perform the work.

Iron Steamers From the Clyde.

BUFFALO, Nov. 26.-The first of the Clyde built iron steamers to run on Lake Superior in connection with the Canadian Pacific road arrived at the Union dry dock yesterday in two sections. Two others are on their way through the Welland canal. It was necessary to out the steamers in order to pass through the canals and they will be joined together here. The names of the three steamers are tho Athabaska, Algerna and Alberta. They are 27O feet long, 3s feet in breadth with 16 feet depth of hold and with 8 carrying ca pacity of from 1,s00 to 1000 tons. They are constructed with frames by 8 inch steel spaced 24 inches, keel of hammered iron connected by 21 inch scarphs; main deck of steel and plating ranging from to 9-16 of an inch in thickness. The hull is divided into seven compartments. The en- zines are capable of carrying 122 pounds of steam and the steamers will be able to attain high rate of speed. Two others in con- struction on the Clyde will be sent over in the spring.
