Speculations Respecting the Next
HofrSP


The american -UnchiHist a few days
ago published an article in which it
claimed that the protectiOnists would be
in the majority in the next House. The
article was based on, answers to letters Of
inquiry from quite large number of the
new members, and on the position. which
old members took with regard to the Nor
rison bill. The article in the HdcbiniSt
was not by any means conclusive, because
much of the information on which it was
based was not satisfactory. 1t seemed to
have been accepted by the protection jour
nails, however, and Sou = --i04ii 'o0A oc-
aoei1.- ~oj0Ice that there was no pros
pect that the tariff would be reduced with
in the next two years.
Frank Hurd also has been figuring on
the next House, and he reaches a conclu-
sion directly opposite that reached by the
4HachiRiSt. He says that he is able to
figure out clear majority for the Oppo-
nents of protection, and expresses the
opinion that the tariff reformers will have
no trouble whatever in passing a bill like
the Morrison bill, or any other tariff re-
form measure.
In the opinion of most people Frank
Hurd is better authority on the subject Of
the tariff views Of the next House than
the -HacbiniSt is. He is so deeply inter-
ested in the tariff issue that he has taken
the trouble to inform himself with respect
to the tariff leanings of public men.
Assuming that Mr.. Hurd is right in
what he says about the next House it is
probable that the tariff issue will become
prominent in the next Congress soon after
it meets. If the gUesses respecting Mr.
Cleveland's Cabinet are about correct the
tariff retOrmers will have the sympathy
of the administration when they next at
tempt to pass a tariff reform measure.

BARON sCHLEGELs DILEMMA.
His Wife's First Husband Appears to
Disconcert His Easy Life.

His Wife's First Husband Appears to
Disconcert His Easy Life.
NEW HAVEN, CONN. Feb. 25.-EBobby''
Schlegel is a substantial New Haven citi-
zen, German by birth and heavy of
build. He weighs IN the neighbOrhOod of
400 pounds, is well known as a politician,
makes wheelbarrow bets during Presiden-
tial elections, and otherwise conducts
himself in an ordinary manner. For
many years ne has lived among neighbOrs
who are just waking up to the fact that
''BObbY," better known as the Baron, is
figuring as one of the actors in q sort of
EnOch Arden case. Nearly 30 years ago
Frederick Grunow and his wife lived
quietly and contentedly in little house
in this city. The husband was a well-to-
do shoemaker, and the wife person of
many charms. Their two little daugh-
tiers were unusually bright and pretty.
An accident to one of the children
seemed to break the charm. GrunoW sud
denly developed great religious zeal, and,
Bible in hand, devoted himself to early
morning visits to his female neighbOrs.
Not unnaturally the wife became suspi-
ciOus of her husbands zeal, and domestic
troubles grew to great size. One morning
the enthusiast husband was missing. So,
it is said was one Of the women he visited
most frequently. Mrs. Grunow and her
two children were left to support them
selves as best they could. Then it was
that Baron Schlegel made his appearance.
He addressed his attentions to the de-
serted wife and possible widow, and was
successful. They were married, and the
two daughters by the first husband grew
up, and four children were born to Mr..
and Mrs. Schlegel, three of whom died.
The survivor is now lad about u years
old. Schlegel was a man Of considerable
influence. He was an active political
worker, and besides being Registrar of his
ward, was the keeper of the State House
under Gov. English.
Recently Mr. GrunOw, who had been
living in the West, decided to return to
New Haven and see the wife he had left
twenty-six years before. Back he came,
and with him came trouble for the
Schlegels. GrunOW was not ill-natured,
however. He was willing to let matters
remain i'll statu quo. He visited his
daughter, and one day met his wife by
chance on the street. Their meeting was
not ELUSIVE nor yet coldly formal. There
seemed to be on the part of both de-
termination to make the best of tue situa-
ton and to do nothing to furnish food for
the gOssips. This did not please the Baron
any too well. He preferred Mr.. GrunOw
at distance, and limited as much. Mr..
Grunow preferred to remain in New Ha-
ven, and he has taken up his abode at
hotel. All he wants, he says, is to be let

THE RETURN.
THE GREEDY PARTY.
Hazen Charges the Secretary of Wa
with Abandoning the Explorers.

with Abandoning the Explorers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Gen. Hazen
recently applied for permission to inspect
the signal stations on the Southern coast.
Before doing this he prepared letter to
the. Secretary of War, in which he direct
ly charged that officer with the failure to
relieve the Greedy party. He sent to St.
John and obtained affidavits to the
effect that there was ample time after
Lieut. GarlingtOn's return to have
sent a second relief expedition,
and that the boats and men for
such an expedition could have been
obtained at st. John. By doing this,
Gen. HaZen says in his letter, every
life would have been saved, and this step,
he adds, he urged upon the Secretary Of
War, who, according TO Gen. Hazen, re-
fused to act, and therefore Gen. Hazen
charges him with being responsible for
the death of Greely's men. This letter
was kept back by Gen. Hazen for two
reasons, it is said. 1t was to be sprung
upon the Secretary after Gen. Hazen left
the city on his tour of inspection South.
The other reason for delay was to allow
no time before March for the Secretary
to take any action in his own defense and
TO strike last blow at the retiring Cabi-
net officer. A week only remains in which
Mr.. Lincoln will be Secretary of w ar, but
during that period the Chief Signal Officer
will be required to stay in Washington
and will not be permitted to go on tour
of inspection South.

A Republicans Opinion of Cleveland


Mr.. Cleveland is a comparatively new
man in politics, and he is not, therefore,
we'll known to the country. In fact, only
few of the prominent men Of his party are
acquainted with him, and these few do
not know him intimately. His character
and his requirements have been the
source of almost endless speculatiOns.
and they are yet interesting subjects of
study to leading public men. A day or
two ago our dispatches stated that one
Senator was deYOting a good deal OF time
to the study of Mr. Cleveland's speeches
and public papers for the purpose of get
ting better understanding Of the Presi-
dent-elect.
In view of the fact that so little IS
known Of Mr.. Cleyelands characteristics
information about him from any source,
provided it is honest and unprejudiced, is
acceptable.
A distinguished Republican lawyer, of
Albany, New York, who knows Mr..
Cleveland quite well. and who was a
neighbOr of his during the time he occu-
pied the GUbernatOrial residence, writes
about him to a friend in this city as fol-
lows: Il believe thoroughly in Cleveland's
honesty, conservatism and stubborn indie
pendence. He will be thoroughly detested
by the grasping hungry element of his own
party before three months have passed.
He believes in civil service reform. He
makes up his mind slowly, and when set
be is ''sOt" all over. He brayed Tamma-
ny in this State, and he will not fail to
brave the crazy silver men and the hun
cry spOilsmen at Washington, and verify
believe that he will not be worsted in the
row. He will not make a fraction of the
removals that the place-seekers will de-
mand. His administration will be a SAFE
conservative and good one for the coun-
try, but never brilliant nor a popular
one in the sense that it will suit the poll
ticians. But with the rank and file of the
people, with the large class of voters
who are not looking for, nor expecting
office, but who desire above everything to
have the government managed on safe
business principles, he will be popular
and strong President. In fact, the very best
elements Of his party will mould his adj
ministration, and the "bOys' will have
occasion to notice this very early in his
term. III wanted an Office under him l
would not ask him tor it very often nor in
a very direct way"
The writer of the above, although he
was an enthusiastic supporter OF Blaine,
is capable evidently OF forming an opin-
ion of Mr.. Cleveland unbiased by preir-
dice or partisan feeling. His opinion,
from a Republican standpoint. appears to
be 4 pretty fair one. If Mr.. Cleveland
proves TO he strong Wiih the people, it
will not make much difference what the
office. seekers think OF him.
1t may be a mistake, however, to think
that he will not make many removals
from Office. The good of the service may
require him to make more than the Re-
publicans hope he will make. 1t is proba-
bic that he viii not make ii.e.,nv removals
simply to replace Republicans with
Democrats, but by the time he gets
through making removals for cause TIE
number remaining will not be large.

a REMARKABLE ROMANCE.
Marriage of Miss Zerelda Garrison
Formerly Belle of st. Louis.

Marriage of Miss Zerelda Garrison,
Formerly a Belle of st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 26.-On the register of
the Planters House appeared to-day
s'Mr. and Mrs. A. Melville, Chicago"
There was nothing particularly strange
about this, but, on inquiry, it was learned
that Mrs. Neuville was well known in
this city. She had become a bride at
Chicago on Feb. 10, and, with her hus-
band, was here to spend the honeymoon.
Mrs. Melville was formerly Miss Zerelda
Garrison, the daughter Of Mr.. Abe Carl
son, a former wealthy merchant of this
city, and niece of Commodore Garrison,
of New York. She was known in Chi
cagO, where she has been living with her
mother, as Miss Alene Garrison. Mr..
Melville is a French gentleman of dis
tinction, and is the representative in Chi
cagO of three large European concerns.
He is over 40 years of age, and is
widOwer with no children. His first wife
was killed in New York a year or so ago
by a runaway horse.
The marriage of Miss Garrison recalls
the sensation she produced In st. Louis in
the spring of 1882. A publication in the
Post DiSpdtch first announced that Miss
Zerelda Garrison, beautiful and accom-
plished girl of IS, had mysteriOusly disap-
peared. "She has been abducted" was
the verdict at the Garrison mansion. The
case was reported and search begun.
Two days passed and the telegraph and
detectives had found no tidings of the lost
girl. The high social standing and prOmi-
nence of Miss GarrisOn's family made the
theory that she had been abducted and
held for ransom the prevailing one. 1t was
the sensation of the hour.
On the evening of the third day after
her disappearance Zerelda returned to
her home and told her story. She had
been the guest of three young hoOdlums,
occupying a room in tenement house on
Carr street in one of the dirtiest and
lowest districts of the city. During the
time she lived with her Carr street friends
she had taken her meals at a cheap up
town restaurant, going to and from the
caravansary closely yelled and always
alone. She made the acquaintance of
one of the hoodlums through a street
Irritation. livery effort was made to keep
the history of the gir's escapade secret,
but it failed. She was sent to a suburban
convent. and had been lost sight of en-
tirely until she appeared here to-day a
happy bride.

ANovELTEMPERANCE SPEECH.
Mr.. Belford, of Colorado, AstOnishes
the House of Representatives.

the House of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The House got
a temperance lecture at its session last
night from an unexpected source. The
question of the fee for liquor licenses in
the District Of Columbia was under con-
sideration, when the Hon. James Buceph-
alus Bedford, of Colorado, got recogni-
ton from the Chair. In that impressive
manner that always commands attention
he said: 'sThere is no mistaking the fact,
Mr.. Speaker, that there is a growing
sentiment throughout this country in
favor of temperance, especially as repre-
scented by the distinguished states

Kansas, or any other st. John who

drink whisky. There is not any DOUBT
about that fact, and you have got TO regu-
late the appetite. Now, | will vote for
any bill making 1t a felony for any man
who sells one drop of adulterated liquor.
No man has any more right to edulterate

And this is the sum and substance of the
whole temperance question that will be
considered to-day and for generations
hereafter. Noah got drunk. Christ man.
ufactured wine. Everybody knows peo-
pie will drink liquor. NOw,let US get to
the substance of the whole question and
declare openly, positively and vigorously
that any man who sells one drop of adul-
terated liquor in this country, liquor cor
rupted or poisoned, shall be regarded as a
felOn and be sent to the penitentiary."
Laughter and applause.
A member-F0r night!
Mr.. BelfOrd-For all time. Upon no
other theory can you get through. 1t is
a flimsy preteXt to impose a license tax
of $100 year. a license for what? A
license to poison and ruin thousands of
men. A license to disOrganiZe and dis
arrange millions of families out of the
55,O00,000 people existing in this country:
If we are going to legislate upon the
temperance principle, let us legislate up
on theory that the practical judgment
of this world will recognize and respect,
and that is, if man sells liquor he shall
sell pure liquor, just as the man who sells
flour shall sell imprisoned flour.
You smiling gentlemen go down to
Welcker's and drink u courses of
liquors, commencing with a sup of bran
dy, then drink of whisky, next a glass
of Sauterne, after that some Johannis-
berger, and after you have gone through
all these II courses you co ne here with
bill Of this character, in the name of
righteousness and gOdliness and decency,
and preach SObTiety to us. Laughter.
Why don't you stand up with me and say
that any rum seller who sells wine, or
whisky, or Sautsrne, or Johannisberger,
or any other wine or liquor-and l have
been acquainted with them all-that any
one who sells adulterated wines or liq-
uors shall be sent to the penitentiarv, and
not bubble over little license provision

corning Mr.. William B. Johnston, of Macon,
may be pertinent and interesting, as they are

retired merchant, a leading citizen and direc-

rOads, and other corporations. BE is still a
hale, hearty, clear-headed, active business
man, and travels q great deal. For fifteen
years he has never missed meeting Of the
Western and Atlantic directory. For several
years after he went into business on MS own
account. he travelled the entire distance from
New York to Macon by stage coach, not a
mile of railroad being constructed at the time,
and the only other way of reaching Macon
being by very slow and uncertain sailing YES

private conveyance. The whole magnificent
railway system Of this country has been built

manhood. This Is 9 remarkable example from
Georgia of what tremendous development the
country has had in the space of a single life,
which is still useful and far from spent.

A Dakota Board of Trade,

A member of the Cleveland Board of
Trade, who was in Dakota last fall, hap
pened in a town on the line of a railroad
which had only one wheat elevator. In a
conversation with the owner of the ele-
vator, he inquired:
"Who makes the price on wheat here ?''
''Our Board of Trade" was the reply.
$50 you have a Board of Trade, eh?''
"Well, good enough one for such a
town as this.''
"How many members"
"Only twO-myself and clerk. I'm the
bear and he's the bull, and between us the
market is kept pretty lively"
"But suppose the farmer doesn't want
to sell at your tiguresT'
THAT never happens. Being we are the

and being as he is head over heels in debt,
and must have money, the market may be
quoted as steady"
