Der l4.-Dear Sir-I have your letter of
the 18th. There is no doubt that Mr..
Cleveland will encounter a tremendous
demand for a clean sweep, but I think
that, while changes will be made, and
ought to be made for perfectly legitimate
reasons, he will respect the letter and
spirit Q fthc reform law and that non-
political officers who have been honest
and effective in ike discharge of the duty
and who have not misused their positions
for party or political ends, will not be mr.
Litrarily dismissed, for political reasons.
OF course | have no authority to speak
for Mr.. Cleveland. My faith is founded
solely upon my knowledge Of his charac-
ter and convictions. Truly yours,

PARIS, November l5.-The municipal
council yesterday after a heated debate
rejected by ffyt to eleven, a proposal to
grant 5000 francs to the Bretenil asylum
for Old People, where the cholera has
created serious ravages. a resolution,
however, was adopted fourteen to twenty
three, which spoke in depreciation of sub
sides to monastcries, but appointed a
committee to see to it that all sufferers
from cholera in such institutions receive
proper attendance. The council likewise
voted an appropriation of $1,000 francs
for the furtherance ofthe adoption Of san
itary measures in private houses. 1t is
now alleged that the outbreak at Bretenil
asylum was due I o the stoppagc Of the
supply of broken ~victuals which has come
about through the prevailing anti-clerical
fanaticism. A nun who has been faith
fully attending patients at the asylum,
has succumbed to the deadly epidemic.

Mormons Bound for colorado

ST. LOUIS, November l5.-Large num-
bers of Mormons were at the Union De-
pot this morning who had arrived from
Chattanooga, Tenn. and were on their way
to Colorado. The crowd was a promiscu-
u one in which the ~fashionably dressed
mixed freely with those who were clad in
clothes which were shabby. Nearly all
the women Of the party carried babies in
their arms and numerous other young
ones hung to their mothers apron strings.
Elder Roberts, one of the party. said the
reason why the Mormons were changing
their settlement was because Colorado and
Utah offered more advantages to the peo-
pie Of their sect. The Mormons have es-
tablished a permanent settlement in Colo
RADIO and no doubt a great number of
those who belong to that sect will follow
the present emigrants, in fact, from Elder
Roberts conversation it looked as if there
was going to be general influx ofMormons
into Colorado.

One of the greatest trial OF news
paper men, says Dewitt Talmage. is
that they are compelled to see more
OF the Ahams OF this world than these
of any other profession. Through
every newspaper office, day after day,
go all the weakness OF the world; all
the vanity that wants to be puffed;
all the revenges that want 10 be reap
ed; all The mistakes that want 10 be
corrected; all the dull speakers that
want to be thought eloquent; all the
ineanness that want 10 get its wares
noticed in the editorial columns free
gratis; all the men who want 10 be
set right who never we're right; all
the crack Drained philosophers with
stories as long as their hair and as
gloomy as their finger nails, in mourn.
ing because berefl of soap; all the
bores who come to talk five minutes
and stay five hours. Through the ell
itorial and reportorial rooms all the
shams and follies of the world are
seen dsy after day, and the temptation
Is to believe in neither God, man, nor
woman. 1t Is no surprise 10 me that
in this profession there are skepiical
men. I wonder that journalists be-
lieve anything,
