a WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times-Star, speaking Of New
York, says: "lhe interest shown by
Secretary Manning in the New York
election is interpreted here as meaning
two things, first that If there was any
truth in the reports Of trouble between
Tilden and the administration the Presi-
dent has made haste to patch il up in
some way, and second that the admins
tration is taking some interest in the
coming struggle in New y ork. The last
mentioned fact is causing good deal OF
gossip among the political gossipers,
too. win President Cleveland's Adj
ministration make the same record foi
itself in New York politics that Presi-
dent Arthur's did? is a question heard
on every hand. President Arthur fixed
up slate for the New York Republi-
cans which gave the State to the oppo-
site party, broke the heart of his excel
lent Secretary of the Treasury, and en-
ded his chances for reelection. Is
President Cleveland going to travel in
his footsteps? The fact that Manning is
taking hold Of the political work there
shows plainly that the first part OF this
seasons programme is likely to be about
like that of two years ago. The second
part is looked for with great interest
The Republicans are confident that they
can win The next fight in New York
The struggle will be bitter one, a
least, for there is good deal at stake oil
both sides"

How This Curious Insect Folds up Its
web.
There must bc some insect lovers
among the Tribune, Young Folks.
and want TO tell them Of curious
fact about spiders.
Some days since. while sitting on the
porch enjoying the early morning. I
noticed two beautiful spider webs
among the vines. have been fond Of
watching spiders ever since / was a
very little girl. melted thereto b. m.

estcd in them. and bees and ants rs
well ever since. and have watched
them for a great many minutes at a
time.
While looking. all at once saw one
Of the spiders run from the center OF
the web drawing two threads together
as he went; he unfastened the end and
went back rolling up the thread; then
he took the next two threads extending
from the center. once doubling part Of
the web as have seen the sails Of
ship furlcd; this continued until the
whole web was folded into a tiny pack
ct. when he took II between his FORE
legs and hid himself under leaf Then
turned my attention to the other. and
in a short time this performance was
repeated. and he too went to his re-
pose.
As much as have watched these in
sccts never saw anything Of this kind
before nor have ever read Of such
thing. Several times during the morn
ing saw the spiders each under his
chosen leaf and the next morning there
were two webs as before. This time |
couldn't watch the folding. but after
breakfast came out to look for them
and they Were both gone. The third
morning there were two webs. and
saw one folded and after q time re-
turned and found the other gone. This
has been repeated nearly II not every
day since until to-day, when there were
no more webs to be seen. have not
seen them folded every day, but have
seen them spread and returning after
time found no trace Of them. There Is
no one 10 disturb them and the work
has been done by the curious little
owner itself.--N. Y Tribune.

How the Policy q Hate snd sectionslisn
has worried upoa Several Presidential
Aspiranes.
In the general collapse Of Republican
hopes on election day the bursting Of
sundry Presidential booms, which had
been up to that time most tenderly
nurtured and solicitously watched
over. escaped general notice. The
wrecks Of those blooms have been dis
covered among the ruins, presenting .
sorry sight and intoxicating lesson on
the danger Of counting ones chickens
before they are Matched. There Is the
Sherman boom, 50 long wrapped up in
corner Of the bloody shirt, and the
Logan article Of che. same kind, which
occupied whole sleeve Of the ensan-
guincd garment. They are but mem
ories now and will. probably. be lost
~ memory when the next Republican
National Convention comes around.

grave from which there Is no resurroc-

Sherman and Logan may endeavoI
to construct new booms By endeavor-
ing to propagate the gospel Of hate in
the Senate, for il would be idle to ex-
pcct that even the severe lessons they
have received can shake their affection
for their bloody shirt. But such booms
are bound to 60 the way Of their pred
ecessors at the polls. Blaine has dis
appeared as prominent factor in the
Presidential line. and Evarts, who was
looking forward to 1892 As candidate

manner with booms, which are wrapped

PRESIDENT AND cAeINET.

Futile Atteunpts Of the Republicans to sth
Up Disco-d In the Democratic Party BY
misunderstanding" Trouble.
Whenever the Republican press il At
= loss for something to say against the
Administration it falls back on the
stale and improbable yarn Of dissatis-
faction between the President and his
Cabinet II seems useless to endeavor
to convince those craxy-quilt sheets Of
the utterly ridiculous nature Of such
an assertion. They hug the deiusion
all the closer, as they do the myths Of
John Roach's ruin. the bloody shirt
and the steamship subsidy. Never was
q Cabinet more harmonious and zeal
Gus in carrying out the policy Of the
President than that which surrounds
Mr.. Cleveland. Every member Is
thoroughly imbued with the spirit
Of reform and the necessity of faith
fully fulfilling the highest expectations
formed Of the Administration Only
earnest and united efforts could have
accomplished the vast amount of valu-
able work done during the past eight
months. The radical changes intro
duced into each department., facilitat-
ing its operations and attaining results
which year ago would have been
deemed impossible, the sensible i'm
provement Of the public service. eff
cheney, integrity and dispatch taking
the place Of incompetency. corruption
and red tape, the abolition of gross
abuses. the impartial dispensation Of
justice and the infusion Of new life,
energy and practicability in every
branch Of the Government, all testify
to the harmonious working Of the
President and his Cabinet Those facts
constitute . sufficient answer to the idle
rumors Of the Republican press and are
further corroboratcd BY the testimony
Of a high official, who Is well informed
on the subject. He says:
Nearly every member OF his ofhcial house

Idea Of making change In the head OF any
one OF tae departments. The relations hc-
tween the President and his advisers are Of
the most -Jrdial character, and nothing that
can see = likely 70 disturb them.
The party organs can not under
stand this harmony, or how such q
body Of public officials should be in
spired solely with the idea Of doing
their duty honestly and fearlessly.
They bear in mind only the intrigues
and receptions of other Cabinets, and
conclude that the present Administra-
ton must follow the example Of its Re-
publican predecessors. II Is hard for
them to acknowledge the superior
working Of Democratic Government,
but they will have to do 50, sooner or
later. Meanwhile, to spare themselves
further ridicule, they should give up
the foolish work Of manufacturing
trouble in the Cabinet. Their efforts
only excite dcrision. -- Albany Argus.
