CHICAGO, July 8.-The night passed by
quietly at the hotels in comparison with the
crush and confusion of the one preceding it.
The multitude in and about the various head
quarters was large, still ingress and egress
thereto was possible, which was hardly true of
the night preceding. Caucusing, however
went on as usual and there was what appeared
to be a final rally against the Cleveland host
which claimed tonight that victory was clear
~ in sight.
Numerous and conflicting rumors were
floating about but they all resolved themselves
into the fact that it was only the field against
Cleveland, with the opposition leaders devils
ing plans to consolidate the scattering vote for

CapitOlian Etiquette

We are informed that at the Presi-
dental New Years dinner, the Presi-
dent, much to the disgust of the Cabi-
net wives, ass gned the place next to
him to Mrs. Carlisle, wife of the
Speaker of the House. And by this
we are gravely informed that his ad
visers were shocked to find the Presi-
dent ignorant Of the usage they hold
in profound respect. What will be
the outcome Of this, who can tell? 1t
impresses plebeian rather singularly
that men of State should become nom
plussed over such immaterialities.
Did the offended Cabinet and its wife
60 off in high dudgeon, or sit down
and eat all in its reach? Cannot
there be some law enacted that will
secure the wives of our Cabinet Min
listers proper recognition at a Presi-
dental dinner? If not, what is to be-
come Of them and the destiny of ia
ton:
Perhaps these Ministerial wives for
get that Mrs. Carlisle is the wife of
the third officer of the government,
and therefore, by right, entitled to
rank as such. Then again we are in
formed that Washington society is in
huhhub as to whether the wife of the
Speaker shall first call upon the wives
of the Supreme Court Justices, or they
first cali upon her. Now in this tur-
MOL, what shall be done: Let the
country take care of itself while argu-
ing over who shall have the preference
in society, or act like good, sensible
Amercans should act, and as vas the
custom in the purer days of the Re.
public? Let all things be as the
Master of Ceremonies desires. We
want no European court etiquette aped

three weeks ago, he coughed like a
consumptive, he was bent nearly
double, he was weak, emaciated, ner-
vous, idgetty, chilly, spoke in a
squeak voice, and seemed about to
die. Now he walks erect through
our deepest snowbanks, his cough has
left him, he stands erect, speaks in a
firm tone, wears light clothes (tor the
season), smiles cheerfully when add
dressed, and is altogether so changed
for the better that we doubt if his
former Kansas acquaintance would
recognize him unless apprized of his
improvement beforehand.
Nor is Mr.. Purviance alone in his
praises, and in bearing testimony to
our superior climate. Receiver
Waters, of the Land Office, who was
MIR. Purviance's partner in Kansas,
also came here for the benefit of his
health, leaving a practice that was
very lucrative as long as his health
permitted him to attend to it. There
is no necessity for our going into de-
tails regarding this gentleman and
the Improvement which himself and
family have felt, since their arrival
here, as they are we'll known. But
we entirely mistake the man if he
would not go at least as far as Mr..
Purviance, and also say that he would
''rather be a pauper on Wood River
than millionaire in Kansas"

HEALTH Is WORTH ALI, OF THAT.

SOM of our readers take exceptions
to Mr.. Purviance's statement, as pub.
l'shed in yesterdays TlMEs, that he
would ''rather be pauper on Wood
K'ver than millionaire in Kansas"
Those persons do not know wha, it is
to be lying by degrees, without hope
Of surviving beyond brief period: to
have ones nerves shattered. ones
appetite entirely gone, to have lost all
ambition, and to be '.knocked up"
generally. That was Mr.. Purviance's
condition in kansas-and we do not
doubt, nor can anyone else, but that
il he had possessed millions and he
could have purchased robust health
by paving out his last dollar for it,
that he would have done so cheerfully.
and considered that he had the b IS t
OF the bargain. Those p 'rsons referred
to above have do b enjoyed tina,

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

This being Presidential year, that
is to say, a year during which Presi-
dent OF the United States is to be
elected, much speculation is INDUCED
in as to the outcome of the contest in
which the people of the United States
are about to engage. The final set
Element of the issues raised by the
war has left the two leading parties
without any live issues, without, SEEM
ingIy anything worth contending for
except 'he public Offices; and politics
have almost degenerated into mere
fight for spoils. Yet there are indi
cations that there will be one or two
main issues, with, possibly, an anti
monopoly plank for side issue, upon
which the Forthcoming campaign will
be fought. These are the tariff and
civil service questions.
Upon the tariff question, the Dem
.ocrats have very generally, heretofore,
been opposed to the protective tariff
which the Republicans have so siren
uous y maintained, and in favor of
free trade. AS that would mean the
opening of our ports, free of duty, to
the products of the world, and the
consequent cheapening of American
productions, the intelligent mechanics
and farmers, who hold the balance OF
power in this country, have steadily
voted with the Republicans. OF late
years, however, some Of the leading
Democrats, made wise by their many
reyerses, have adopted the protection
list doctrines, and advocated the very
same measures urged by the Repub-
licans. If tho bulk of the Democrats
had Endorsed the views of their more
enlightened leaders, the party would
doubtless have succeeded in control
ling national affairs. But, unfortu-
nately Cor them, the protectionist wing
is much the weakest portion of the
party, as is evinced by the recent
election to the important position of
Speaker Of the House Of Representa-
st:ves, of the leader of the Southern
free trade wing of the party. This
has destroyed any hope which the
Democratic protectionists may have
entertained Of controlling their party.
1t has, at the same time, sealed the
fate of their party, and assured the
triumph Of the Republicans at the
polls, in November.
On the civil service question, the
Republicans have likewise the best
in fact, the onl y-record, as they or
iginated the idea, and enacted laws to
put it into practice. The result has
been, greatly-increascd efficiency in
the public service, and much better
satisfaction to the people. This was
to be expected. An official who
knows that he will not retain his office
unless he proves efficient and gives
satisfaction, will endeavor to qualify
himself to fulfill its duties bv every
means in his power. Nevertheless,
the Democratic party, which still adj
here's to the old political maxium that
$50 the victors belong the spoils," are
tndeavorirg to have the Republican
civil service legislation ignored or
wrongly applied, in order that they
may have an excuse for repeating it
altogether. The people will, Of course,
not inaorse such course and will
support the party that secures them
this great rcforn,.
This seems to be the political out
look at present.

A Wonderful Georgia Girl.

There is now living in Polk county,
about fourteen miles from Rome, a girl
fourteen years of age who possesses
wonderful and ineXplicable powers.
She Is q daughter ofone of Polk county's
best and most honorable families. We
will not give the family name, simply
because the parents of the child do not
wish the facts so generally known, as
then the stream of the curious would
cause them Inconvenience. We shall
tell the tale as it was told to us, and we
have only this to say, that our inform-
ant is one in every way worthy of all
confidence, and, further, that what be
reports is notorious in the immediate
neighborllood of the little girls home.
1t is said that the little girl can place
her hand upon n chair and it will walk
all about the room. She places her
hand upon the table, and il moves us
she wishes it. Our informant says that
she placed her hand upon chair in
which q man sat, and the chair, man
and all, moved at her touch. He says
that man sat in the chair, and another
man lying under it tried TO hold the
chair to the floor, but that under her
mysterious touch the chair pulled to
pieces. This little girl was in Rome
Tuesday, and while in one of the stores
she placed her hand upon stool, and
it promptly moved in obedience to her
will.

'rhs CONSTITUTIONS Amendments.
New York SUM-


Congress will be called upon TO take
actionon two proposed amendments to
the Constitution of the United States.
There is great difference between the
two. One of them is needed, the other
is not. at So
Senator Wilson of Iowa proposes u
constitutional enactment empowering
Congress ito protect citizens Ia the ex-
erclse and enjoyment of their rights,n
and ITO assure to them the equal pro-
lection of the laws" That is q political
amendment.
The other amendment is one which
has been twice suggested by President
Arthur in his annual messages, and
which was introduced In the last Con-
gress ny the Hon. Roswell p. Flower, Of
this State. 1t is designed to give the
Executive the power to veto Jobs with
out sacrificing appropriation bills. That
is practical amendment.
IL strikes us that the constitutional
amendment just now imperatiyely
needed is not for the protection of citf-
zens, but for the protection of the
Treasury against citizens.
