A Pilgrimage TO Albany.

Col. Mcclure SAYS that he went To see
Cleveland not to advise him what to do
but as a journalist to study him and find
out how and what he thought of things.
That is somewhat in reversal of the usual
order. The president-to-be has been sup
posed to I've meeting the politicians of the
country with a view to sounding them and
discovering what they were fit for. The
editor in this case thought it to be his func-
tion to test the president and discover upon
what meat he fed.
1t was a legitimate undertaking, howbeit
trifie cheeky perhaps. We trust that the
success which attended the Colonel's essay
at presidential pulse-feeling was correspon-
, dent to the high effort. We do not dis
| cover that il was from the Colonel's report
of the interview But it is thing not to
be thus unveiled. The editor may have
received flood of light to guide
| him in his future consideration of the pres
ident's acts, and yet have found out moth.
! ing very definite to communicate to its
readers. Governor Cleveland is fast
| acquiring the character of sphinx
WHICH II very Sppu Sudld'tVl iol
a president to have and it is one
which invites great deal of Investigation
from the editors of the country. After
the example set them by Col. Mcclure we
may expect them all to be hieing away tC
Albany. They have the same strong mo
| tive to take them there which inspired
! the Colonel. 1t is their duty to read thei
man and if they are too stupid to reat
him from their distant tripods they shoul,
we find no occasion of this kind to re
pair to Albany. With the modern ap
plances for the speedy transmission o
intelligence we feel fully competent to rea,
Gov. Cleveland in Lancaster.

If il be true that silence is golden, Mr.
Cleveland has pm immense amount of the
auriferous lodged about his tongue. He is a
mulated information of his visitors, youchsa-
fling nothing in return. Some very able
politicians and bright Journalists have wended
their way to Albany, presumably to give adj
vice or make discovery, and they all return
with nothing for their trip but pleasant recol-
lections OF the scenery along the Hudson
river. There is happy contrast between
Cieyeland's present situation and that of Gar
field four years ago. The president-elect has
made no entangling alliances and promises
ofplace the fllfllment of which is demanded
by hungry gang of placemen. lie Is strong
as Garfield was weak, and his strength is The
strength Of his present situation.

\ sick Man Beaten, Kicked, Choked and
strung Up Until He Died
Fritz Bower and Ferdinand llaasc, the two
German sailors of the schooner Eva, and the
chief witnesses of the murder of otto Alayher
10y Capt. John Williams, were captured i'll
Baltimore on Saturday. They said that, u
week before Mayher's death, he complained
of being sick. He asked for relief from duty,
but the captain refused. MayheT got too weak
To work. and the captain beat him with "A
marlinspike. Soon aiterward he was beaten
with a rope. To stop his cries, the captain
planted his foot on his throat and stitled him
to inconsistencies. The captain then iaSten-
ed a rope under the armpits of his victim,
hosted him up by the halyards, stripped oil
his lower garments, and drenChed him with
water and beat him with rope knots. on the
day of his death he was taken down into the
hold and suspended seven feet from the floor
by his thumbs, and while in this position he
was swung TO aud tro.
The vessel soon reached Lower Fairfield,
and the captain ordered Mayher on deck.
He was too weak to talk, but tried To make
motions that he was sick. The infuriated
captain jumped down ON the helpless man,
picked up large pole and beat him unmer-
| cifully across the stomach. At night the men
| were ordered to bring their comrdde on deck,
| dead or alive. Atter Oheying the order they
were told 10 go into the iorepeaks and await
orders, While there they heard scuiiles and
gruanS. followed by Tumbling of chains.
Then they knew that the captain had killed
his victim and was making for the shore.
The men said that the captain had often told
the crew that he wanted them To make away
with Mayher.
Late at night Boyer and lIaase crept from
| the hold and found the deck slippery with
| blood They found blood in the Eawl boat
| and the boat was still wet. They went ashor,
| and saw the body of Mayher living on pill,
| of eystCr shells. In the morning the captain

LOVELY woman is much harder to solve
than the fifteen puzzle, and she demonstrates
the difficulty of her Interpretation in ways
that are divers and curious. Not long since
Bismarck asked the Reichstag for an increase
in the salaries of two officials in the imperial
chancellery and for the creation of the office
of a second dictatorship in the ministry of
foreign affairs, with a salary of about 5000
per annum. The first request was
granted and the second refused in a
style bordering closely on rebuke. The
ac, OF the Reichstag has aroused the women
of Germany and they have issued circular
calling upon the weaker sex of the Empire
to join in contributions towards fund that
will perpetually provide salary for the
official asked for by the German chancellor
Bismarck's iron will and great abilities are
part of the worlds history and now that he
has the fair sex on his side he is about as in
vincible as mortal man can be.
