The two Washington correspondents
who fabricated the canard that Miss
Cleveland had left the White House be-
cause she could not get along har-
moniously with her brother, will be
denied admission to the White House
hereafter. A precedent for this action
was established during the administration
of President Grant, when correspondent
who sent to his paper a series of fictions
about the departments was by name pro-
prohibited from again entering the de-
partments. 1t is generally understood
that the President has the same right to
forbid persons adinittance to the execu
tive mansion that a private citizen would
if his hospitality had been returned with
q wanton insult.

The levy court has postponed the fur
ther consideration of the Third street
bridge question until next month. The
discussion seems to be out of order, any
way, for this year since the levy court
decided in the first place not to build o
new bridge during the year, but, instead
to patch up the old bridge, and adjusted
the tax rate upon the basis of that de
cision. Having done this, if that body
should reverse its decision and conclude
to build new bridge, even should it be

$4,000, it is not exactly clear where tn,
money is to come from to pay for it.

aside for once and uniting their forces on

The names of prominent and honorable
Democrats and Republicans who have
remained in private life because they are
too conscientious to buy office are can
vassed for places on such ticket and, if
they will consent to serve, it is possible
that the mercenary wretches with market

The town has expended some 1925, ,OO0 on the build- ing and the Grand Army post $500, and the building now stands complete at $43, GOO. It is built by the Flynt brilding and construction company of Palmer, whose quarries located ill the town produced the granite. The design is by the architect of the company, George D. Potter, and the work was superintended by J. 0. Wing.
