The president has attracted the at
tention of the country again by his ac-
ton in removing the postmaster at
Rome, n. Y, last Monday and desig-
mating his successor, the senate having
refused at its recent session to act in
the matter. In a letter defining his
action Mr.. Cleveland says the business
of the Office was in disgraceful cOnfu-
sion, the money order and other ac-
counts being behind and deficits in
two departments being reported. The
numerous documents received at Wash
ington, signed by men of both parties
and expressing full confidence in the
postmaster, Mr.. Cleveland considers a
demonstration of the unfortunate fla
cility with which such papers may be
obtained and a reflection of a "tOO
prevalent standard of political hon
esty."

The relations between England and

For some time past it has been re-
ported that Nellie Grant Sartoris was
living nnhappily with her husband
and that she was about 10 separate
herself from him. A recent Wash
ington special says: "The truth is
that the reason why the separation
has not been complete between Mel
lie Grant and her husband has been
because Of her inability to obtain
possession of her three children.
Sartorls has been brutal in his treat
menl of her and she decs not want to
live with him. If the children ever
get on this side of the water they
will never be allowed to go back
again. II Mrs. Sartoris gets posses
sion of them she will probably, after
the mourning of the Grant family
ends, bring suit for a divorce from
the brutal, unappreciative creature
she married. This marriage was the
regret of Grants life. This is moi
gossip, but q plain statement Of facts

If an editor could only get acquain-
ted with every family into which his
paper goes, how extensive would be
his circle OF intimate friends. 1t is
true that the reader himself becomes
familiar with a scribe's way Of think
ing, but the editor does not know the
thoughts of the reader himself. Then
again how often is it the case that a
constant reader, Intimately acquain-
ted with the newspaper man from
reading his paper, and knowing the
writer at sight, thinks he must also
be able to call him by name. This
notion, that an editor must of neces-
sity know all who read his paper, has
frequently lost him many subscribers,
because they think him "stuck up"
Away with this idea, because editors
are among the most kind, docile, mer-
ry, tractable, energetic, b~uoyant,
transparent, unimpeachable and com
prehensible of men, if you will only
scratch them under the chin.

Among the attractions arranged TO
draw a crowd to the West Virginia
State Fair was first a wedding and
then a fight between a wildcat and
several dogs. Whether any signif-
canoe was intended by the coinci-
dence of the wedding first and then
the fight, we are not told, but both
are said to have come off on time,
and in a manner entirely satisfactory.
The wildcat was put in a cage eight
by ten feet, with three vicious dogs,
one at a time. The cat whipped all
three in from one to two rounds each.
Finally a thirty-pound bulldog was
but in the cage with the cat. The
bulldog killed the cat in four minutes,
and thus the show ended.
