local dogs an equal chance to compete
against other new prize winners. The
amount of premiums will be over 81 900,

day, inviting His Royal Highness the

Persecution OF MIR. DicIeson.

Major John n. Edwards In the sedalia Dispatch.
The assertion once made by Senator,
that the influence Of the Administration on
the courts Of the District of Columbia is
gard to Justice and decency, has received
new verifcation from the treatment which
Foreman Dickson has received 1t appears
that man did nothing for which he should
be punished. He was held for the action
of the Grand Jury by police justice who
feared and who wished to please the At
torney- General, and through him those
who were above him. The whole proceed
ings against Dickson have been carried on
in the same spirit. If he had kept his
mouth shut. and had uttered nothing COM
promising the head Of the prosecution in
the Star-Route trials, he would never have
been molested for a single minnte

The temper of the House has been much
disturbed by the Naval Appropriation bill,
and through its impatience several queer
things have transpired. The total wiping
out of the Pay Corps was proposed, but it
failed. Then, after a long wrangle, in
which those who were fighting for the
various usurpation of the line attempted
other expedients, the House gave its attcn-
tion to the Calkins amendment which has
been finally adopted in the muddle, doing
substantially what the line wanted. If this
provision becomes law, the officer of detail
can now send lieutenant or captain if
he choose, and the Secretary of the Navy
does not object, but concurs, with the
detailing officer to perform the duties of
paymastor of any ship fitting out, or at any
GERS are seeking sea service. The amend
ment is evidently not in accord with the
spirit of the House. 1t did not see the
wool. There can be no question that the
solution of the line and staff question
would in manner be reached if the Pay
Corps of the Navy was to die out aud
the line officers be trained in the
new line of duty and gradually
became the pay officers. But, after all, it
only helps to relieve a part of the great
excess of line officers now i'll the Navy, and
places on the idle list those who have as
legitimate claim to position and duty in
the Navy as the ambitious deck officers,

WAsHtNGToN, ID. C., Jau. 23.--To night
your country correspondent went to the
opera to see an act or two in the Mas
cotte.' He was late in getting there, hav
ing dined with n brace of two of Ohio's bsst
Democrats in Congress, who had invited
him to n pig.tail dinner. The Boston Ideal
Company were the attraction, and hc went
to hear Mary Beebe of Columbus. The
first act was about half finished when the

President of the United States. The usher
waved us aside and placed his fingers on his

He was accompanied by an olr-col-

lined overcoat of rich and costly pattern.
As the servant relieved the President of
his broadcloth overcoat at the head of the
aisle leading to the box on the left, q lady
of tall and commanding form was discov-
cred in his company. AS his valet relieved
him of his outer garments he turned aud

thirty. Her eyes were dark and animated.
Her face wore very serious cast.

gsnized, and dozen candidates are out
side the door already, waiting their
chances for tbs first place that is vacant.
It is hard work-it is next to impossible
for the stranger to squeeze in. And if
he succeeds, it will not be by pushing
himself. 1t will be by presenting his
writing.
As rule, editors know nothing-care
nothing-about persons. All that con-
Germs them is work. They take no in
forest in individuals, but only manu-
scripts. An applicant for position on
a newspaper may have all the credentials
you please; they are of littl. account.
The best way 10 tempt an editor to
make place for you on his staff or
among his contributors is by stratagem.
Angle for his attention as you would for
a trout's. Throw him an article, such a
one as You think he will be likely to
bite ut, and if he does not bite at the
first, try him with second. Keep your
self out of sight until he notices and
nibbles. Let him feed long enough to
excite his curiosity rs to who you are. II
you can succeed in throwing him two or
three good bats. he will quickly find out
who you are. Do not be anxious about
that. Be anxious only to give him
little better work than anybody else
gives him-better in subject and better
in treatment. Do that and your place is
sure, if you can only wait. 1t is only
question of time. Sooner or later there
will be a vacancy at the editors side,
and then he will think of you.
There is always room for good work in
the world, and the work makes place
for the worker. But do not expect to
get the place for yourself first and draw
your work in after you. Your work
must go before you to open the way.
Young men and young women who
desire to be journalists would better
therefore put their writing into notice
before they do themselves. If they have
any journalistic gift. it will be found
out and they will be sent for; if they
have not, they would better try some
thing else.-Literary World.

"Let it go this time; a visit will do
you good. You look clean tuoksred out
with your work"
Wondering greatly at her husband g
unwonted mood, and with confused
idea that there must be a mistake so ne
where, she quickly donned bonnet and
shawl, called Hetty from her nook up
stairs, where she was reveling in the
stories that were to her so many glimpses
into veritable "fairy land" babe her
mind the little ones, and was soon cor
daily welcomed and comfortably seated
in the cozy parlor ut Mrs. Greene's.
The sharp contrast between their own
bare living room and this pretty little
nook gave another twinge to the already
smarting conscience of the awakening
penitent. Here we're books, pictures,
games and toys for tie children; an open
melodeon, with q music book on the
rack, stood at one side of the room; upon
the table lay goodly supply of solid
and miscellaneous reading for the older
heads: and in one corner, carefully COW
cred, stool the pride of Mrs. Greene's
heart, the sewing machine.
After the weather and farm matters had
been duly discussed, politics touched
upon, and various items Of neighborhood
interest ipterchanged, there came little
pause, which was broken by Mr.. Greg
DRY. who said, with shy glance at his
wife and a little awkward hesitation:
~ say, Greene, I've come over here to
make a sort of confession. I've been
having little experience meeting with
my own thoughts to night; been looking
at myself as l s'pose others look at me,
in sort of looking glass, as it were, and
I'm free to confess that I've had the
pleasure of making the acquaintance OF
cantankerous old udgeon--so to
speak. I've been going on, year in
and year out, trampling on the hearts
and feelings of my wife and children
keep still, Mary, you've no call to deny
it; it's Just the truth I'm telling); hard
ening myself, too, until I seem to have
forgotten, somehow, that the good Lord,
when He made me, intended me to be
man. I don't know what it means, but
I seem to be just turned all about. /
reckon, maybe, it was thinking of my
mother that has melted me, so to speak.
You can Just mark this down, neighbor
Greene. Giles Gregory has looked at
his own heart to some purpose tonight.
I'm going to begin over again. and try
to haye home like yours here. My
children shall have books aid toys and
gimcracks, too, and my wife is going to
have q sewing machine; yes, sir, two of
'em if she says so. There, there. Mary.
Sho' now, il it amt curious thing that
a woman will cry just as hard when she's
glad as when she's sorry. No, sir, I
amt crying myself either. I've got q
pesky cold in my head, and it makes my
head troublesome, that's all."--Detroit
