Wards Young Friends.

United States District Attorney Dor
shelmer shows a commendable determi-
nation 10 find out whether the two young
men, Messrs. Warner and Work, who got
over sl,250.OO0 OF the money which the
firm Of Grant & Ward distributed with
such free hand was honestly obtained.
The indictment which has been found
against them charges them with having
aided Ferdinand Ward in defrauding the
broken Marine Bank Of New York, Gen.
Grant and William H. Vanderbilt.
They may be very honest young men,
but there are things connected with their
transactions with Ward which nave
suspicious, not to say an ugly, look. 1t
is strange that they should have risked so
much money without any security, when
they must have known that such large
profits were not likely to be earned in any
legitimate business, unless they under
stood fully what Ward WAS doing. 1t is
also strange that il there were no under
standing between them and Ward, they
should have known OF his failure before
any Of the other creditors, and obtained
from him a transfer 10 themselves of all
his property.
1t Is clear that the bottom of the Ward
business has not yet been reached, and it
is by no means certain that it will be. It
Is probable that Ward viii be used as
witness against Warner and Work, as
Fish vas used as a witness against
Ward. The chances are, however,
that " ard will not be such a willing wit
ness as Fish was. When Ward was first
imprisoned it was thought that he would
soon become so broken in spirit that he
would tell the whole story Of his criminal
career, and give the names of all who
shared In his ill-gotten gains. There is,
however, no: much hope Tor anything of
that kind now. Ward stands his prison
life very well. In fact, the report is that
be is getting fat on prison fare. If, there
fore, be knows anything against Warner
and Work, the probabilities are that he
viii refuse to tell it..
There is no incentive for him, as there
was for Fish, to make revelations. Fish
was anxious TO show that he h ad been de-
ceiyed by Ward, and thus excite sympa-
thy for himself TO SUCH an extent as to
Justify tine hope OF a pardon, and re met
with some success. 1t is not improbable
that he will be pardoned long before the
end Of his term. The public Is not so
much interested in Fish and Ward, how
ever, at present as in Warner and Work
There Is a general desire to hear the ex-
PLANTATION Of these men Of their method of
doing business with Ward.

The President and the Correspond
entS.

The President appears TO be very popu-
lar with the Washington correspondents.
Even tie correspondent of that ''bloody
shirt" sheet, the Cincinnati Commercial
G0zstte, Gen. Boynton, has good word
for him. Gen. BOynton says; Every
correspondent in Washington has abund-
ant means to ascertain the Presidents
characteristics and his methods. Eight
months OF such observation has led to the
conviction that President Cleveland is a
man OF decided ability, of hard and album
dant common sense, OF untiring applica-
ton and industry, of unimpeachabe IN
tegrity, and a courage which all the
road agents Of his party Will ut
terly tail TO shake. He holds the
public interests above the claims
Of party. He aims to do only honest
things in government. he searches with
care for proper men to hold office. He
looks only toward Democratic admins
tration of affairs, but be does not intend
to make such rapid changes from Repub-
lican to Democratic service as to throw
the public business into confusion"
Public men who treat correspondents
fairly and decently are always dealt with
IN an honorable and respectful manner.
The small men who assume a dignity and
an importance which they haven't, and
men whose acts will not bear investiga-
ton are the ones, as a rule, who hold
aloof from newspaper men.
The really great men in Congress are
always approachable, and are always
ready to furnish the public with whatever
information Of Importance they have. In
deed, the regulations of most public men
are made for them by the newspapers.
Few OF them would be heard OF beyond
their counties or States il they were let
alone by the newspapers.
The Presidents Of the last TWENTY-FIVE
years have been very accessible to report
ers. Lincoln was very friendly with the
correspondents, and Johnson was, per-
haps, the first President who submitted
10 public interview. Grant was on ex.
cellent terms with correspondents.
Hayes was accessible, but had the repu-
tatiOn OF being unable to stick to the
truth. Garfield was always glad to re.
ceIve the correspondents, and was well
treated by them. Arthur was rather ex-
elusive, but 1t was not difficult to get
points from him. He was not a great
President, however. President Cleve-
land, it seems, makes the work OF the cor
respondents at the White House easv and
agreeable. The correspondents will do
much to keep the thorns out of his path.
What the world knows about Washing
ton, and the men who play the prominent
parts on that stage, it gets from the cor
respondents.

From The Pail NIL Gnzstte


Perhaps the most interesting product of the
Balkan revolution so far is the little band Of
Amazons which has its quarters at Philip
poPohs. AT present the new cor has but a
dozen members. The commander is the
directress of an 'rphan asylum at Philip
popols, by name Rama, ana the united ages
of the warlike twelve are said to reach the
number of the days IN the year, fact which
unfortunately takes some of the romance
from the novel movement. 1t has even beer
said that the weapons of the Bulgarian ANA
IONS are their age and few cavalry sabres.
Their clothing consists of loose hose fastened
below the knee and short riding acket,
with red girdle. while Bulgarian kalpak
is worn as a headdress. The Amazons cSrry

A PRINCE IN EXILE.
Remarkable Career of Man Who was
Formerly a Cardinal.

Mr.. Lathrop. New York correspondent Of
the Pittsburg Dispatch, gives the following &C
count Of man now living in New York who
at one time was a member OF the College Of
Cardinals at Romel He gives the story as II

Count B., as he is called by his few init
mate, is a member of an influential Austrian
family. his grand uncle, whose name he
bears was famous soldier in his day. ana one
OF the Generals in command Of the Austrian
forces at the battle Of Lodi. Twenty-Five
years ago the young Count was s Captain in
the Austrian army. pursuing career OF reck-

dlsmi sal from the service. He had. however,

Francis Joseph, who remembered the services

brave old General in the dark days of the

Col eye Of Cardinals at Rome, and
duly invested with the insignia of his Off e.
For some time he held the nigh position OF the
Prince OF the Church, until scandal, IN
which he figured and which was the European
sensation OF the day, brought about his ex-
pulsion. After this disgrace he disappeared
from public view, and was not heard OF for
some time. Then he horri1ed his family and

MIR. Randall and the Tariff.


! 1t is asserted with degree Of positive
! ness that is al most convincing. that hr.
/ Randall is prepared to join the tariff re-
/ formers at the approaching session OF
/ Congress in their efforts TO secure re-
form OF the tariff. There is doubtless some
foundation for this assertion. but 1t would
be more satisfactory 10 bear from Mt.
Randall with respect to the matter. The
purpose OF the tariff refOrmers may he
wholly different from that OF Mr.. Randall,
and therefore, before assuming that Hr.
Randall has so far abandoned the tariff
views by which he has been governed
throughout the whole Of mis- public life, as
to be ready now TO sit in harmony with
the tariff reformers il would be well to
kpQW exactly where he stands.
off. Randall may De ready TO assist in
making such changes in the tariff laws as
to relieve them OF their absurdities and
contradictions and to make them more
intelligible. II is a weli-known fact that
these laws are now so complicated that
only experts can give an Interpretation Of
them that is at all satisfactory. and even
they are often in doubt with respect to
their meaning. officers Of the Treasury
Department are kept busy deciding doubt
ful questions that are constantly arising,
and these decisions are so numerous that
il would require long time for an intel
ligent man TO become acquainted with
them.
OF course the tariff refOrmers believe IN
relieving the tariff laws Of doubt, and in
making them so clear that it would hardly
be possible TO misunderstood them. but
they believe IN doing a great deal more.
They believe that the duties On great
many articles are altogether too high. and
they want these duties reduced. Is Mr..
Randall ready to assist in reducing the
tariff as well as freeing from doubt the
tariff lawsi II be is, then be is converted
from his protection theories, and is quail
fed for fellowship with genuine tariff re-
formers.
II will be a source OF satisfaction to the
Democratic party if Mr.. Randall has at
last been convinced that the doctrine Of
protection does not promise the good for
the country that its advocates claim it
does. II be has abandoned protection,
and accepted the tariff views held by his
party. there is nothing that can be urged
against him as a Democrat. On all cues
tions, except the tariff, he has always
stood squarely with his party, and it has
been a source Of regret that he has not
been in harmony with his party on that
question.
There appears TO be no reason for doubt
ing that q sincere effort will be made to
reform the tariff next winter. 1t appears
TO be understood that the President and
the Secretary Of the Treasury viii recon-
mend a reduction Of the tariff, and that
the House will act upon their recon-
mendauOns without any regard to what
the course OF the Senate may be with re-
gard TO them. The best interests OF the
country demand radical changes and re-
ducti0ns in the tariff, and IL the Senate
refuses 70 comply with this demand the
Republican party will be held responsible
Tor its action.
