McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-11-27

A CONNECTICUT farmer of ~, a
wealthy widower, married young
wife, and as is the usual habit in such
cases, all his children Immediately
united in petition to the court to
declare him insane and have him lock-
ed up. The old man appeared before
the jury with sweet and handsome
young woman on his arm. The jury,
all of whom were old dodgers them
selves, found him sane without leav-
ing their seats.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. c., Nov. %. "a.


You may imagine if you can what
we shall do with our mad patients
when the Government thieves begin
to set up the plea of insanity to rid
themselves of due punishment for
their crimes. Not saner man than
Col. Burnside could be found in
Washington during the time that he
was stealing the Governments mon
ey, and no sociery at the Capital was
too elevated to open its arms to re-
ceive him. AS soon as it became in
evitable that his conviction for steal
ing was to follow his crime, the plea
of insanity is put up and the epaulet-
ed crank goes to the Government In
sane Asylum, there to remain until
public forgetfulness shall make his
absence from that institution easy to
be borne.
The change in the administration
that will take place on the 18th Of
March next is a change that has not
had its counterpart in the history Of
the Government. We have had a
Democratic administration before
with an opposition Congress and we
have had Democratic Congress-a
majority of Democrats in both Houses
against Wing administration but
never before has there been an in
stance when the administration had
the House alone to back it, and the
Senate to tie it's hands and dictate its
appointments. Such is the position,
or rather the dilemma, in which Pres
ident Cleveland will find himself on
Inauguration day, when he sends the
names of his cabinet members to a
Republican Senate for confirmation.
l know of no existing reason why Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet should not be
confirmed without question. but mat
tiers between now and the 18th of
March may assume such shape as
will make it possible that some names
may be Objectionable on the score Of
patronage.
And right here it may not be amiss
to say that Mr.. Cleveland's ideas of
Civil Service Reform is one thing, and
the demand for thorough cleaning
out of the clerical as we'll as the bu-
reau force in the departments, is quite
Mr.. Cleveland will be hand
icapped in this matter as no previous
President has been. He cannot by
any possibility enforce the provisions
of the Civil Service law and satisfy
the greedy demands of not one but
two political organizations that will
demand recognition for their contri-
buttons to his success. 1t is we'll
enough for Mr.. Curtis to set up a
standard of merit by which the pres
ent Federal ofice-holders will be re-
tanned, but Mr.. Cleveland will not be
SO weak-kneed as to pay any attention
to it, and if he did the Tyler admins
tration would be repeated, even if
Mr.. Cleveland should not encounter
his Brutus for his imbecility.
Washington is to be the home Of a
new Homeopathic Hospital in which
the Hahnemann is to be the rule of
practice distinctively. The movers
of this great enterprise are some of
Washington's best men and women,
who are actively engaged in promot- !
ing a grand National Homeopathic |
Fair, to be inaugurated on the 18th
Of December next, to last six days. |
This will be magnificent display,
and so attractive that its projectors
anticipate patronage that will 60 far
toward accomplishing the great object
for which it is to be held.

A MIIlIonaire,s Marriage.

lShANokO AAAbuutsl
There were three romances in the life Of
the late Joshua Sears, the millionaire grocer
OF Boston. The first was when he was a
very poor young man. He started a firta-
ton with a wealthy beauty on a railroad
train, called on her afterwards and finally
found that his suit was in vain because he
was poor and she was rich. The second was
when he was past middle age and very rich.
He became engaged to a dashing young
widow. One Of her friends asked her; what
are you going to be married to that old fell
low forfn "For his money, of course said
she. Sears heard OF this. "For my money,
ehI" he cried; mo by a-blessed sight" He
went to his lawyer, and was told she would
have a good case in n breach-of-promise suit
He didn't want n lawsuit, so he handed .
confidential friend $4,000, and told him to
go and see the widow and six things up;'
which was done, she accepting the bride and
giving him his freedom.
Tho third was when he was an old man.
He found himself enormously rich, but
thought: when Lam gone, as | soon shall
be, who will enjoy it allfp So he went to his
friend, Alpheus Hardy, and said: Hardy,
I'm thinking of getting married. What do
you think Of itT7 Hardy. thought he knew n
lady who would just suit "WeI, then,
Hardy, you go and arrange it," So Hardy
commenced the negotiations, and Sears was
accepted. On his wedding morn, the bash
full bridegroom called Hardy aside and said:
Hardy, 1 don't know anything about this
ceremony, and you do. So | want you to
stick close to my side and coach me, so that I
won't make any laundering mistake Hardy
did 80, and all went well.

DR. II. WAGNER is fully aware that there are
many physicians, and some sensible people. who
VIII condemn him for making this class OF dis
eases a specially, but he Is happy TO know that
with most persons Of refinement and intelli-
gence a more enlightened view Is being taken
o 1.-THE subject. and that the physician who de-
votes himself TO relieving the afflicted and
saylnk them nom worse than death, Is no less n
than the surgeon or physician who by close ap-
plcafion cNcels I'm any other branch Of his pro-
lession. And. fortunately for humanity, the day
Is dawning when the false philanthropy that
k0ndemned the victims Of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law, to die uncared
for, has passed away.
