owned paper in Michigan. He wrote letter
after bis removal, in which he attacked the

wrote to tho President, asking for tho removal
of these men, and then sent copy to his
private secretary. To the lattor said the
letter expressed my views, and that wanted
the President to SEQ 1t aud act. did not
consult with anyone before sending 1t, or

thought tho President would in that case
consider IL as official and feel compelled to

its receipt tho President said the parties must

BURNSIDE RGARREsTED.
A Discovery Made OF an Additional Em-
bezZlement of $4,000.

OoGGoHlOht VI gs,uUOs
Shortly after o'clock last night Sergeant
Shilling and officer Fowler entered the sixth
precinct station having botween them Col.
j. o. p. Burnside. The colonel was in rather
detected mood, and when his name was
being entered leaned against the desk, and
responded to tho clerks questions by mono
sylables. When his name had been entered
Lieutenant Guy conducted him to the lieu
tenants Office, where one Of the
iron bedsteads had been placed. The
son of Col. Burnside and his counsel entered
the station few minutes later, and remained d
in consultation with him for some time. When
they left Col. Burnside turned down the gas
in the room, and lay down on the bed. He
tossed about in an uneasy sleep, and started
| up at tho least noise. When d reporter on
tored the room, he looked up and then laid
down again.
The officer at the door said that the colonel
had decided by tho advice of his counsel to
| say nothing Tho warrant upon which he
was arrested is sworn out by Postoffice In
spector William A. Henderson. 1t charges
that James O. p. Burnside did on April L,
1884, willfully neglect to deposit in the treas
ury Of the United States, or any other place
authorized to receive it, the sum Of $4,000
of the money of tho United States The
specific charge Is that Col. Burnside failed to
deposit in tho treasury 5000 which he
realized from tho sale of waste paper of tho
postotiice department and did then and there
embezzle and feloriously and wrongfully
convert to his own use the said sum-
This charge ia simply duplieats of the
| first one. Tho first warrant charged the
enibezzloment of between $44 900 and s45 900,
but subsequent investigation increased this
amount by tho addition Of $1,000, and the
warrant was sworn out to cover the latter. Tho
$4,000 alleged to have been embezzled came
under the head of contingent expenses, and
an examination of the cash hook used by Col.
Burnside revealed the discrepancy. The
colonel remained at the station all night.
He will be taken before the police court this
morning, and his counsel will make applica-
ton for bail.
Considerable trouble was experienced in
securing any information about the arrest
last night, as no ono seemed to know the
cause of Col. Burnside's arrest. Application
to Sergt. Amiss and Lieut.. Guy, however,
set things straight, and reporters were al
lowed to sec the warrant for his arrest,
When arrested Col. Burnside was sitting in
the study OF his house on o street, and was
about retiring. He was surprised at the
officers appearance, but willingly accom-
panied tho officers to tho station. A few
minutes after the arrest, Mr.. Il. O. Kirkwood
was brought in and shared the oolonels room
for the night.

A Great Change.

Special to the Detroit Post.
prominent member of the house who has
arrived in the city said this evening:
1.-THE election of Democratic preside nt
with which the Democrats have tried to
pass certain class of legislation. The
machinery of the federal government be-
ing about to pass into their hands, they
will favor the continuance rather than
the restriction of federal power. The hue
and cry Capitalization by them w i'll be
stopped. The laws which they sought to
repeal they will now insist shall be con-
tinued upon the statute books for the
same reason that they charged the Re-
pHblicans who enacted them-tO help
perpetuate their hold upon the admins
trati0n For instance, they have repeat
eddy tried to repeal the United States cleo
ti0n laws and have attempted revolu-
tiOnary measures by attaching the re-
pealing clauses to appropriation bills.
They have cried intimidation" because
of the presence of United States deputy
marshals at the polls. l doubt whether
you ever hear this cry from their lips,
again, or whether they will ever offer
repeating legislation of this character
as long as they have control of the ad-
ministratien.
They have fought long and hard to Sc
cure the restriction of the federal courts
and have filibustsred for days to prevent
the extension of their jurisdiction, al
ways on the ground that the rights of
the states were interfered with. They
will haye less to say on this subject
hereafter. have no doubt, now that
they have reason for it, regardless of
civil service reform they will seize the
patronage of the administration as
quickly as possible, and make use Of
their powerful lever to keep them in
power. l would not be surprised If they
failed to provide for civil service COM
mission, and if they did not find way
to overthrow the tenure of Office act, in
order to secure the thousands of officers
such course would give them. They
are hungry and eager for the spoils, and
they will easily find the way to get
them"

control of the government it would be
unnecessary for the party not to be ac-
tuated by desire to continue In power
by demonstrating that it deserved the
highest confidence of the people. This
it could not do il it should unsettle busi-
ness and make factiOus war upon the
well conceived plans of the government.
This is the view take Of the proper
position for the party just assuming con-
troll of the country in a crisis like this
and the standard by which l shall be
gnided while in the Presidential office.
If follow it hope fer and expect a
a fair and honest response from the Re-
publicans with whom l may have rela-
tiOns as well as the hearty support of
my own party. feel of course that /
have great responsibilities and approach
them with a feeling of more or less
anxiety. While know there is no reas-
on whatever for this feeling of restless
ness north or south, cannot but realize
that all minds do not see things in the
same light. What may seem of no mo-
ment to one may be of great eOnse-
quence to another. The Democratic party
and its servants are as much committed
to careful policy upon economic ques-
lions as their opponents, and they will
be as careful to act for the best interests
of the country as the Republicans would
had they been successful.
assume, therefore, that whatever OF
nervousness there is now apparent comes
simply from disturbance OF long lease
of power and that whenever the irrita-
tiOn growing out OF defeat has passed
off there will be q better feeling all
around and willingness to give new men
a fair and honest chance. That is all
that is desired, and less would not be
fair to the incoming administration.

CLEvELAND'S POLICY.

The Next President Outlines the Policy of
His Administration.
The Albany correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Times reports Gov. Cleveland
as using the following language touch
ing the policy that Will guide the ad-
ministration after March 4.
No harm shall come to any business
interest as result of administrative
policy so long as l am President. l in
tend to surround myself with the best
and broadcast minds liz the party and
then bend all my energies iowa rd max
ing an administration that shall at
least assure every element that q trans
fer of the executive control of one party
to another does not mean any serious
disturbance Of existing conditions. 1t
is almost Incredible that there should
be any feeling Of uncertainty whatever
as to the future so far as the recent re-
suit of the election Is concerned. Those
who are to succeed to power by the will
of the people as recently expressed are
as much Interested in the future of the
United States as those who yield to 1t.
They also have an equal stake in the
prosperity and advancement OF the c0un.
try. They are as thoroughly committed
to maintenance Of values and as earn
estly anxious for a sterling business
prosperity as their opponents. Natural
ly they will be careful about pronsun-
eing for policy inimical to the inter-
ests of the very class which more than
ANY other has thus honorsd them with
its confidence.
Coming into power after so long an
absence, the party ought and will, so far
as the executive Is concerned, bring lib :
eral views and good impulses into the

A THANKSGIVING TRAGEDY.
BY EUGENE FIELD.


BY EUGENE FIELD.
James sat down to eat his dinner,
On bright Thanksgiving day,
AND he murmured II will tackle
Everything that comes anyway"
'James," his mother gently warned him,
James, you mustn't eat too mnch-
You will find 1t dangerous business,
Eating turkey, quail and SUCH"
James paid no attention to her,
Save to give passing frown,
But continued doing business
Putting all the viands down;
Venison, partridge, duck, and rabbit,
Lobster, goose and chicken pie,
Salads, sauces, entrees vanished
In the twinkling of an eye.
''Come, my son." exclaimed the father,
"You have eaten quite enough;
Or you'll catch a dreadful collie,
Filling up on such rich stuff
All in vain-his heir apparent
Would not listen unto him,
But continued masticating-
Naughty, foolish, silly jim!
Bigger, bigger grew his stomach,
Filled with pies and cakes and meat
FOUNDER, fuller, tighter, plumper-
Still he did not cease to eat
When at last appeared the pudding,
James INDUCED smothered groan-
Darling, are you sick?" his mother
Queried, in an anxious tone.
Then the foolish little fellow
Placed one hand upon his head
And the other upon his stomach
Gossip he feebly, family said.
Papa FASTENED for the doctor,
Mama shrieked and tore her hair;
But before assistance reached him,
James had climbed the golden stair.
For there came loud explosion,
Rending foolish jim asunder-
Filled too full Of toOthsome viands,
He had bursted all to thunder!
And for several weeks they labOred
Ere enough Of James was found
To adorn modest corner
In the family burying- ground.
