apparent for busy season in society.
The work of putting the White House
in order for the last winter of the most
brilliant social administration the

way of repairs and decorations, and

White House in excellent condition
for the winters social campaign. Mrs.

A bill collectors life is not happy
one. An exchange says that recently a
gentleman, while passing down Wash
lngton street. was startled by man all
water soaked and muddy leaping over a
fence by his side, and at the same time
hearing the sound of deviltry issuing
from the rear of the premises. The
water soaked gentleman was evidently
In great hurry to meet very pressing
engagement, and yet at the same time
there was sort Of anxious look on his
face; look that would lead one to sup
pose he had been fooling with steam
fire engine, and didn't know 1t was load
ed. Yes, he was anxious to 'get any
where but there" and the I-wish-I-had-
.not-called expression on his face plainly
indicated that he was glad to escape
with his life, even II his water soaked
clothes did give him the appearance of II
mop on scrubbing day. "What's the
natter" anxiously inquired the startled
gentleman. "lou haven't run into n
water-spout or cloud-burst have your"
"Don't detain me minute" answered
the wet man, II wouldn't have that
woman get within forty feet Of me again
for anything. Let me pass"
YOU'RE excited man, you--"
"Excitedri exclaimed the damp indi-
vidual. II should say was excited.

man appeared glad to see me. We used
to be rather spoony until l went into
business she didn't like. She used to say
she'd kill bill collector some day, and
| believe she will. AS / said, she APP
peared glad to see me, and we talked
about old times for awhile. Finally, re-
alizing that time was money, handed
her a bill for provisions. 'rhat's all
right she said, and then asked me to
come around TO the back door and she
would pay me. | went. Ino more than

a stream of water took me in the ear and
dumped me into new made onion bed.

on me. | managed to get upon my feet
and made break for the street, but
lost my hat In the rumpus. She can
have that. don't care to go for it. 1t
is the first time | was ever made to take
water. Do you hear that?" exclaimed
the man, as u laugh was heard coming
from the same direction he had, and tax
ing the middle of the road, the water
soaked collector proceeded to make a
record for fast time that would make
Jay-Eye-See green with envy.

General Partners.


From the New York World
Mr.. Ferdinand Ward seems to have
had peculiar faculty for obtaining
partners. This is the more remarkable
since 1t Is pretended that he took none
Of them into his full confidence, and
pulled the wool over all their innocent
eyes.
There was u partnership between
Ward and Fish. They broke up the Ma
rine bank together, but Mr.. Fish is not
supposed to have known what ''the
firm" was doing.
There was n partnership between
Ward and the young Grants. They got
many millions out Of oonfiding people
by false representations regarding Gov
eminent contracts. But the young
Grants knew nothing but the fact that
they could draw as much money out Of
the firm as they wanted. That satisfied
them.
There was special partnership be-
tween Ward and General Grant. The
latter did not know anything about the
business, but, 'dear old fellow,n he was
so well pleased with IL that he insisted
upon becoming Wards full partner.
There was a partnership between
Ward and Tappan. All that Tappan
knew was that he put Sl,600,000 OF the
city's money into one of Wards shops
and drew more than 81, 100000 for him
self out Of the other shop. He now ar
rests his "old pard" for the balance of
the profits.
There was a partnership between
Ward and Comptroller Grant. They
went into the cattle raising business to-
gether, but which came out ahead is not
at present known. According to the
Comptroller, this partnership still exists.
Ward Is decidedly the "boss" partner
OF the age.

Forfeiture Of Railroad Land Grants.

The house of representatives pro-
poses to forfeit all land grants to rail-
roads, where the land has not been
earned within the time named in the
grant by the completion of the road.
A Till passed almost unanimously to
forfeit the grant Of the Texas Pacific.
There are bills now l,ending to forfeit
the urearnsd portions Of the Oregon
aud California and California and Orc
gon roads, which will include that por-
tson lying between Roseburg. Oregon.
and Beading, California. Should this
rule Of justice be pursued, which the
resolutions introduced by Holman, of
Indiana, indicate, the vast empire of
territory granted to the Northern Pa
ciic will be forfeited and opened up to
actual settlement BY the terms of this
grant the Northern Pacific was to have
been completed by 1879. The road has
been constructed over the best portion
of this grant since that date. The pro-
ieeters OF the road, who accepted the
grant, failed to comply with the terms
or conditions of the gift. There is no
principle of law or equity upon which
the read can now insist upon the land.
It is only upon the generosity of the
government that the corporation can
look fer the land. The original pro-
iectors and stockholders of the road
have ali been frozen out; the property
has passed into other hands, who have
taken it with full knowledge Of the
failure of conditions. While|they may
be termed purchasers in good faith Of
the read and franchise, they are IN NJ
sense purchasers in good faith of ths
land grant.
1t is time that our government shoulC
cease its generosity and be just to tn
people. 1t is by bountiful donation
and class legislation that the money AZ
cumulAtes in few hands, at the Ell
pense OF poverty and want thronghou
she land. The millions of acres elaine
by this c. rporation, opened up to hom'
stead and pre-emption settlement woul
furnis homes for thousands of homeless
families, who would readily settl
these lands when assured that their la
Dor and improvements would not |
taken by this giant corporation.
1t is time that this question was Sc
tied; that the land which Of right ,
lsngs to the people, should be opene
up for their use, under just and equ
laws.
