II is notorious that Samuel J. Randall
is a protectionist. On this great question
his views are not known to be inharmo-
nious with those of william ID. Kelley,
John sherman, and Justin s. Morrill,.
Mr.. Randall cordially co-operated with
Messrs. Kelley, Reed, Hiscock, Dingley,
aud all of their Republican brethren in
tho house on the last occasion when the
tariff question was before that body.
Such distinguished Democratic senator's
as Voorhees, and Mcpherson were with
Randall and the Democratic representa-
tives who stood by him in that mcmora-
bio fight. 1t is the opinion Of Messrs.
Voorhees,, Mcpherson, Randall, Converse,
and the entire protection wing of tho
Democracy that tho defeat of the Morri-
son bill gave their party q chance to win
In the Presidential campaign. II is also,
the almost universally accepted opinion
that If the Democracy had made tho fight
on anti. protection grounds Mr., Cleve land
| would have been overwhelmingly de-
featod.
Many free-trado Democrats frankly ad-
mltted before the Chicago Democratic
platform was constructed that they could
not win on an honest multiplication plat
form. "Wo would rather be beaten IN q
| fight for principle than to come Off VIC

President Cleveland and the Secretary
Of the Treasury are in hearty accord with
Mr. Randall in his protection views,
But the Washington Post is making

A Breaktss,.Table Letter to the President.

Mr.. PRESIDENT: 1t is seventy.one days since
you took the oath of Office as chief magistrate
of the United States. During that timo you
have selected a Cabinet and made appoint
ments to fill most of the important missions
abroad; you have changed many Of the skilled
| and experienced men at the heads of bureaus
| in the various executive departments ofthc
government you have also filled many posi-
tions of local importance. In overy case you
have appointed Democrat full,iledged and
unquestIoned, except in two, and they were
Mugwumps. The Postmaster General has
issued manifesto, in which ho lays down the
rules by which he will be governed in ap.
pointing postmasters that are below the Presl-
dental rank. In that circular he calls to his
aid congressman IN whose districts the changes
are TO bo made. This Is reforming backwards
TO the old spoils system.
Notwithstanding this there isdiscontent and
disappointment in the Democratic ranks re-
gardlng your administration IN all parts OF the
land. II must be apparent to you, Mr. Presi.
dent, that anything short of complete expul-
sion from ofico of present inGumbents and the

Anything that engages the attention Of
whole community as thoroughly as the
race meeting held over the track of the
National Jockey Club at Ivy City this
week has done the Washington public is
worth more than passing comment. One
of the marked tendencies of the day in
this country is the rapidly increasing de-
votion to healthy out-of-door sports on
the part of all grades of society. Thou
sands are now habitues of race tracks
base ball and cricket grounds, and other
forms of open-air diversions, whore but a
few years ago the same sports could at
tract but scanty hundreds.
1t is evident that Washington is in tho
full current of this tendency. The really
splendid patronage awarded tho we'll
conducted meeting just closed affords tho
best possible evidence Of the truth OF
this statement. And after all no one
can reasonably regret that 1t is 10. Any
thing that draws thousands of mon and
women away from the cares of business
and the household to few hours Of such
enjoyable diversion as that provided by
the National Jockey Club sends them to
their homes better prepared to face their
daily round Of worrimonts, and so Is
bound to prove beneficial to the commu-
nifty.
The meeting just closed was so we'll
managed, marked by such fine. fast racing,
and so unmarried by anything disagree
able to its conductors or the public that
tho officers Of the club can we'll afford to
boproud of it. Tho measure of patronage
awarded has been such that it seems that
the club can feel justified in taking into
consideration the erpediency of hereafter
extending the length of their meetings
from the customary four days to the full
measure of the six working days of the

The Emperor William is q man Of ex-
ceedingly economical habits, and the
study lamp of his work table is a simple
oil lamp Of a pattern such as since tho
introduction of petroleum lamps can
hardly be met with on tho table Of the
humbest citizen Of Berlin. But II was
not economy that accounts for the fact,
so much as the difficulty which an old
man has in changing q habit. The OK
PLANTATION is given by the British american
Register.
The emperor has for years been accus-
toned to screw down the wick whenever
he ceases writing, or reading, or leaves
the room. When the petroleum lamps
finally came into general use, the en-
peror's valet, Krause, brought one and
put 1t on tho work table.
True to his habit his imperial master
screwed down the wick on leaving of
writing, and, as a matter of course, the
room was soon filled with an insupporta.
BILE smoke, which greatly affected the
nose and eyes Of the monarch, and neces-
STATED the opening of doors and windows
Krause finally volunteered the remark
mo, your majesty, that sort OF lamI
will not suit"
But what are we to do, Krause2 Had
We better get our oil lamp back again
You know my eyes arc weaker, and re-
quire brighter light"
"Well, your majesty. we can have {
new lamp made, with an extra larg,
burner, so as to do away with petroleum
altogether"
"Quite right, Krause; let us try it."
And Krause got n lamp Of the old pat
tern, had tho burner enlarged to an al
most colossal size, green glass shad
added to it, and to this day the new lamp
defying all innovations, asserts its plac
of honor on the work table OF the mos
diligent Of all monarchs, Youths Com
pdnion.
