A mulatto girl with remarkably pretty
but peculiar face was engaged by a shrewd
western Snowman. He had tooth extracted
from each side OF her mouth, and inserted q
pair of long tusks, covered her ears with false
ones like beasts, bleached and tangled her
abundant hair, instructed her to utter an un-
ineligible jargon. Thus she was trans
formed into a valuable curiosity, and her
wages of $l5 week did not satisfy her. On
the arrival OF the show in Indianapolis she
attempted to quit it, and row resulted in an
exposure of the fraud.

Washington special: Various posts of the
Grand Army ofthe Republic have been en-
gagged several months in sending to Congress
petitions regarding pension, bounty and back
pay legislation. The petitions have been re-
markably uniform in tenor, mainly directed
to urging the passage Of pending measures to
increase gratuisies to those who served the
Union during the war. But the ColemanlAs-
bury Post Of Ohio has made a asstricking var
iation. It tforwayded to the House preamble
and resolutions denouncig the action of the
Senate in seeking to place General Grant on
the army retired list, claiming he had been
sufficiently honored and assisted by his fel-
low-citisens. They allege that the passage of
this bill would be an outrage upon many Of
the gallant comrades VINO fellin the front, and
whose widows are to-day eking miserable
existence on the beggarly sum Of ss per
month, and upon his ruinto: and crippled
comrades whosepensions are NJ jnst compsn-
sat:on for the loss they havs sustained

The prssldsn,.Erser. Policy.

Nothing could be fairer or more reas-
suriDg than the utterances of Governor
Cleveland at Albany since his election.
that he has said has been plain
ly put and of such character that it must
be pleasing to even those who most feared
the result of his election. What he has
saidsabout his attitude toward Civil-Ser-
vice Reform must be perfectly satisfactory.
His statement about the welfare of the
eolored people under his administration was
timely. And yesterday he spoke generally
about his policy when he enters upon his
duties as the Chief Executive Of the Nation.
The President.elect says no harm shall
come TO any business interest as the result
OF his policy. He says that he will surround
himself with tho best and broadest minds
in the Democratic party and then bend all
his energies toward making an admin
istration that will at least assure every one
that a transfer OF government from one
larty to another does not mean any serious
disturbance of existing conditions.
There should be, he says, no feeling of
uncertainty as to the future. Those who
succeed to power arc as much interested in
the welfare of the country as those who
yield 1t. They have an equal stake in the
prosperity and advancement of the coun-
Try Liberal views and good impulses will
be brought into the control of the Govern
ment. In reference to future Democratic
hopes Governor Cleveland says that it
would be unnatural for the party not to be
actuattd by desire to continue in power

by demonstrating that it deserved the high
est confidence of tho people.
This sentence of Governor Cleyoland's is
n striking ono: "I hope for and expect a
fair and honest response from tho Republi-
cans with whom / may have relations, as
well as the hearty support Of my own
party" The Democratic party and its
servants are, ho says, as much committed
to careful policy upon economic ques-
tions as their opponents, and they will be
as careful to act for the best interests Of the
country as tho Republicans would, had
they been successful. When tho irritation
growing out of defeat has passed of, there
will bo better feeling all around and a
willingness to give tho new men fair and
honest chance. "That is all that is de-
sired" he says, "and less would not he fair
to the incoming administration"
This talk Of Governor Clevclan rs is
Straightforward and important. Some may
say that "these bo fair words" But Ii
must be admitted by oven his most bitter
opponents that Governor Clevolands admin
istration of Office heretofore has been in
accord with what he promised. Taking his
past record, and what he now says, wo can
safely predict four years Of quiet and peace
full government.

"'Times is changed said the cats meat
man." is an ungrammatical line in an old
English song. Times certainly are changed
in this country. The Georgia Legislature
a few days ago reelected Joseph E. Brown
to the United States Senate with but two
votes in dissent. These votes were cast in
the lower House. 1t was not always thus.
But few years ago it was different. sena-
tor Brown after the war was Republican.
The spirit against him could not have
been moro bitter. Ho was mathematical
by men, women aud children. As he went
along the streets but very few white people
spoke to him. He was during reconstruc-
tion times elected to the Chief Justiceship
of Georgia upon the Republican ticket. OF
course nearly every ono Of his votes was
cast by colored men. The intensity of
feeling against him then cannot be under
stoed by any one who did not live in
time that Senator Brown ever had during
those years was when he went to Newman
on tho Atlanta & West Point Railroad.
Newman is about forty miles from At
lanta. Senator Brown went down there to
make speech. He spoke in the court
house. There were about three hundred
people in his audience. But there were
more outside. The courthouse is in tho
middle of the square. Men and boys Or
ganized baseball club in the square.
There were about twenty on each side, with
force of howlers in proportion. They
yelled and painted the courthouse red. Not
much of Senator Browns short speech was
heard. He thought he would take the
train back to Atlanta. He started for the
depot.

ELSEWHERE is given complete review
of the local legislation now pending in both
Houses of Congress-the status of each Dis
trict bill on both Senate and House cal
en6aTs.
The compilation shows many important
measures, the passage Of which can be
secured by the harmonious cooperation of
the citizens with the authorities.
1t Is needless to particularize. The new
City Postoflice, Congressional Library and
Army Medical Museum arc subjects of the
utmost importance the free bridge is a
question Of universal interest the regula-
tion of the steam railroad routes aud the
modification of the Observation-Disclosures on
a number of subjects are very necessary to
tho welfare Of the city.

THE annual report of the Washington
Asylum shows many interesting facts,
most interesting of all, the central fact that
the city's paupers are humanely and
properly cared for.
Tbeasylum is an institution of which the
city has just cause to be proud.
Tho discipline and management of the
workhouse and poorhouso is subject in
which all good citizens should be deeply
interested.
To insure its humanity and efficiency is
cause in which no effort should bo spared.
The showing given in Intendent Stouten-
burg's report is n highly satisfactory one.
