The Mclean idea.

Said John II. Mclean to the reporter of
the Cincinnati 7imes-Star at Saratoga:
President Cleveland may not please us
all, but it looks to me as if he was
shrewd politician after all. He has, |
think, manifested desire to be grateful.
Consider his first appointments. There is
Manning; He was chairman of the New
was second best man in the centre of the
delegates. Garland was the only Senator
besides German who was for Cleveland,
and the only one who brought his State
up solid, Look at Malcom Hay and his
successor, Stevenson, who prevented the
break to Hendricks when the Illinois dele
cation commenced to waver. Then there
was John g. Black, and Villas, who was
chairman of the Convention. All the big
guns were rewarded first. 1t really does
seem, after a survey of the Cabinet alone
that the President is wise politician. He
has certainly drawn about him politicians
ofpractioal ability. Bayard. was appointed
in Difference to sentiment alone"
The Washington critic., 1885-07-16
..No IpLERs WANTED. /.

A story is told by the New York Heralds
correspondent to the effect that the Pres
dent recently declined to consider an ap.
plication for Office on the ground that the
applicant had been waiting in Washington
10 have his case disposed of since the 4th
Of March, and abruptly dismissed the
mans friends with the sententious remark
that mo idlers were wanted in the public
service."
The CRITIC is indisposed to believe that
this romantic tale has even foundation in
fact, for the simple reason it is so unlike
anything that President with good,
common sense, and proper sense of JUS
tice, would be guilty of doing. 1t GER
taiDly does not follow because Demo-
crat came on to Washington to see Mr..
Cleveland inaugurated, and with the fur
,her expectation Of obtaining an appoint
ment, concluded to remain here, that he
thereby demonstrated his unlitness for
official position, or laid himself open to
the charge of being an "idler," a. the
President is said to have put it,
The man was well vouched for, as the
story goes, so well indeed that Mr.. Cleve-
land had concluded to appoint him.
Whether he had business at home which
required his attention. we can say, with
cut disrespect to the Chief Magistrate was
none of the Chief Magistrates business.
Even if he had no occupation at all, as is
the case with good many worthy butun-
fortunate people just now, it would be n
evidence of his laziness or inefficiency.
He might have been staying here because
it was the cheaper and wiser thing to do,
and q just President would have been
quite as apt TO consider his petition favor
ably, upon the theory that the Govern
ment does want economical men in tn
service as to reject it upon the other as
sumption that it does not want men who
are lazy.
II is pretty safe to say-at any rate it is
much more agreeable to presume-that
nothing of the kind occurred asrelated by
the correspondent, and that the whole
narrative is but the fabric of a midsum
mer vision, TO esteem it otherwise would
be to credit the President with having
lost his wits.

Two snrnrised Ladies'.

One of the most singular, most amusing,
most annoying robberies, occurred in our
city Saturday, Two elderly ladies on
Michigan street were looking at the circus
procession pass by. So intent were they
in gazing upon the dazzling pageant that
not only their eyes but their mouths were
wide open, and while in this awe-struck
condition they were each startled by the
slap of rough hand over their mouths.
OF course they were mad, and looked
around with great Indignation to see who
could be guilty of such rude act, and it
was not until they attempted to speak, in
order to properly express their wrath, that
they discovered their false teeth We're
gone. The thieves had looked into their
wide-open mouths and saw that the plates
containing the teeth were of gold, and they
wanted them ~ ISouth Bend Tribune.

nnvIsIrING THE CAPITAL.

Hon. Lyman X. Bass, now Of Colorado,
las been in the city a couple of days and
is stopping at the Arlington. He is max
ing social visits to the White House, hay
ing formerly been President Cleveand's
law partner in Buffalo.
Mr.. Bass is remembered favorably by
the progressive element of our citizens as
an influential member of Congress from
Buffalo, n. Y, when the new District
Government was organized here. He was
member of the House Committee of the
District of Columbia during the days o.
the District Board OF Works, AMI rem
dered efficient legislative aid to that body
in the execution of their comprehensive
plan of District improvements
Mr.. Bass, as well as other Congressman
who were favorable to the work of regen
Grating the Nations Capital received un-
stinted abuse from the guerrilla press o
the country who proclaimed that the
city was being ruined and the property OF
the citizens destroyed by the "so-c llled"
improvement inaugurated and pushed
forward by the energetic Board Of Works
under the guiding genius of Alex. Il,
Shepherd Since his arrival here Mr..
Bass has driven about the city and
suburbs and is perfectly amazed at the
wonderful progress which has resulted
from that comprehensive plan ofimproye-
ments to which he, as a national legisla-
tor, gave all the influence and encourage
ment in his power
IL is with gratifying personal as well a
national pride that he now looks upon
the vast development and substantial
prosperity of the District and its citizens,
which is the direct result of the changes
in the government the District, and the
bold and energetic labors of tho Board of
Works in redeeming and regeneratng
.the Capital City of the Republic from its
previous existence as stencil in the
nostrils of the Nation.
Mr. Bass considers it now as the most
Beautiful and attractive city on the CONT
