Mr.. Gladstone the Loss Of Gen. Gordon
London Times.

Mr.. Gladstone on the Loss of Gen. Gordon.
London Times.
The right honorable gentleman (Sir Stafford
NEthcote) has dwelt with the utmost propriety
and the utmost feeling on the loss which the
country has sustained in the death of General
Gordon He stated that General Gordon had
devoted his life and all that makes life valuable
to his sovereign and to his country Sir, he
might have enlarged that euIogium, for the life
of General Gordon was not limited even to those
great objects. 1t was devoted to his sovereign,
to his country, and likewise to the world. Gen.
Gordons sympathies were not limited by race
or color or religion. In point of fact, he seems
to have deemed it his special honor to devote his
energies and to risk his existence on behalf of
those with whom he had no other tie than that
of human sympathy
General Gordon was hero, and permit me to
say he was still more-he was a hero among
heroes. For there have been men who have OBJ.
tanned and deserved the praise of heroism whose
heroism was manifested on the field of battle or
in other conflicts, and who when examined in
the tenor of their personal lives wcrc not alto
gether blamelass; but il you take the case OF
this man, pursue him into privacy, investigate
his heart and his mind, you will find that he
proposed to himself not any ideal of wealth and
power, or even fame, but to do good was the OBJ
ject he proposed to himself in his whole life, and
on that one objectit was his one desire to spend
his existence.
Such is the man we have lost-a loss great in
deed; but he is not al lost for such examples
are fruitful in the future, and / trust there will
grow from the contemplation of that character
and those deeds other men who in future time
may emulate his noble and most Christian ex.

How Colonel Lamont Works.
National Republican

Colonel Lamont, the Presidents private scare
tary. says ne proposes to simplify the methods
of doing work at the White House. I'll tell you
what Lamont means by that, said New Yorker
last night. HE means that there must be fewer
employees, and more work for those who remain
Lamont is hustler himself and he will make
everybody else hustle Those young men will
have to go, and the work will be done on less
than half the force now employed. The Presi-
dent is hustler also. He will have the break
fast gong sounded at o'clock sharp but Lamont
will finish his breakfast at 7:30 and be at his
desk by 8. He will earn every dollar of his sal
airy, and will make his subordinates do the same
thing That's the way he will simplify the
work at the White House" In a letter written
since the election, President Cleveland said he
regarded his election as purely business affair
The people were to pay him SOC, 600 year to at
tend to their business, and he proposed to look
to their interests as lawyer would look to the
interests of client who had paid the retaining
ing fee. Doubtless Colonel Lamont has taken
the cue from his chief, and will give the White
House employees to understand that they have
been hired to do certain amount of work for
the government, and that the government will
not be satisfied with less.

Mr.. Passages bill In. r. 1881 concerning the
teaching of certain branches in the common
schools and providing that all children, without
regard to color. may attend the same school,
was read the third time.
Mr. Harrell opposed the bill because it pro
hibited the teaching of German in any but
grated schools, and because it permitted colored
children TO attend the schools with the white
children.
Mr. Best favored it. He said that it was time
to drop this color line and open our best schools

ciudes the teaching of the German language in

CAREW KEENAN,.
The Isibeler of the Newspaper World in
"The Money Makers

The ,Issbeler of the Newspaper World in
"The Money Makers"
Chicago Tribune.
People who have read the "Tne Bread Win
ners" and 1.-THE Money Makers two anonymous
novels which have been crowded upon public
attention within year, as sensational produc-
tlonS OF q realistic character, must have been
considerably amused by an expose Of the author
ship and an account of the bearings of these
books which the Tribune printed yesterday. The
writer of the article Is evidently familiar with
the people whom the characters in the more re-
cent book-sThe Money Makers"--were intended
to travesty or libel, hut the most palpable hit is
that which ascribes Carew, the real hero of the
volume, to the author himself. On the theory
that the book was written by a person named
keenan,, who is somewhat known in journalistic
circles in Chicago through brief connection as
reporter on one of the city dailies the ''Carew
of the novel was manifestly intended to repre-
sent the distinguished talents, the answering
integrity, the lofty IDEALS and unremitting per
secution of the author 1t might be difficult
to recognize in Carew Keenan, as he is, but Ca
rev is a perfect picture of keenan, as he sees
himself. The pure young man in the book, who
alone among all the crowd is steadfast, patriotic,
incorruptible, and superior to all the tempta-
tions which beset him, has, in fact, if he be the
author of the book, revile0 the men who gave
him his first start in literature hbeled the pro
fession which has yielded him livelihood, ear
featured his friends, insulted lady of high
standing, ana VlilHed the dead-aH TO make a
sensation. This sort of work is cheap wit, which
requires an anonymous parentage and the inter
est of conjecture to give it any measure of sue
cess But keenan, should no longer be nameless.
He will always be known as Carew among those
who know him at all, and the hairbreadth escapes
his virtue has made from insdous attack will
make his friends apprehend that 'the villain
still pursues him" But since keenan, has repre-
sented the journalistic profession as an aggrega-
ton of sneaks and black nailers-he alone having
risen above the contamnation-it is probable
that he will never again be subjected to tempta-
tons in the newspaper field, but may heneeforth
confine his fbels to anonymous books
