does not make it clear that his grand |
father elected Jefferson. He shows
that his ancestor did not vote for
him, and rather gives ore the i'm
preston that because it became
known that in certain contingencies
the Bayard of that age might be for
T. Jefferson, that the whole matter
became settled. The claim is little
thin. and Jefferson's descendants
will certainly refrain from meeting
to pass resolutions of thanks.-Bos
ton Globe, Dem.
As yet the exposure Of the trans
actions of the old 'Knavy" depart
ment is in its infancy. Yet we al
ready know that the government
has been robbed in repairs, robbed
in construction, robbed in stores,
robbed in its employees, robbed in its
labor rolls and robbed in its proyis-
ions and clothing. 1t would be in
tcrcsting to know, if there were any
means Of arriving at the knowledge,
whether the exposure of these ras-
calities and their eradication would
have been as swift and complete if
the new secretary of the navy had
been highly respectable, harmless,
humdrum, non-partisan, instead of
an active, vigorous, pronounced po-
Iitical worker.-New York World,
Dem.
In spite of many expositions of a
perfectly plain law and a clearly
written contract this matter is SO
little understood that propositions
are constantly made to do this, that
or the other with the Indian Terri
tory, the popular impression being
that lhe government is as free tc
deal with that region as with any
part Of the public domain. As {
matter Of fact the government car
make no change whatever in its sta
tus. The Indians there are rapidly
advancing in civilization. They arr
Industrious; they have laws of thei
own making; they have schools,
newspaper, shops, etc, and in du
time, doubtless, they will apply 70
admission to the union as a state
Until that time shall come the gen
eral government has far less powe
to interfere there than in Massachu
sets or in New York.-New Yor

In speaking of the combined effort
Of the treasury and the state de

ent of the New York Evening Post
says: "Tho suggestion has been

racy, which is opposed to protective

Il views upon that subject 1t is
.-nown that the attitude of the adj
linistration is this: The protective
rariff laws are upon the statute
looks. They cannot be repealed by

Miss CIevland-a pleasing lady she is.
In a company of callers | saw her max
ing herself agreeable to every one present.
She would talk with lady or gentle man
present, and then, without attracting
notice, would begin a conversation with
another guest. Before the evening had
passed she had spoken to every one pres
ent. She talked of art, and sciences,
and literature, and really, at times, show
ed as much knowledge of either as if she
had devoted a lifetime to its study. She
is not a society woman-that is, such a
devotee of society that she goes night af-
| ter night to receptions and talks of some
other reception, the weather, beautiful
| Washington, or some guests costume.
| She has no taste for such gatherings but
she does enjoy intelligent company.
donot mean to say that she is one of those
women who. being intelligent become
strong minded and want to wear panta-
looms, and vests, and go and do as men
do. She seems to have too much com
mon sense for that. Miss Cleveland is
not handsome, but her countenance is
pleasing, and oftentimes brightens when
she becomes earnestly engaged in dis
cussion on some subject in which she is
interested. Her clothes are neat, but
there is nothing especially stylish about
their make.
'And her ornaments-welI,I know some
wifes of governmet clerks who would
think themselves disgraced if they were
seonwearing such. At one of her Saturday

On his first case in the United States
court the following story is told: He had
secured a client, whose case was found
to be bad, and when he gotup to address
the court, Mr. Lincoln spoke as follows:
This is the first case have had i'll this
court, and therefore I have examined it
with great care. The only question at
issue is one of authority. I have found
innumerable precedents sustaining the
opposite side, but have not found one in
my favor. With these remarks l submit

should have found himself on the wrong
side is not strange, but that he should
say so was strange indeed. lie was per.

I'VE were invited by Professor Felkel during
the past week to visit the Commercial Depart
ment of Florida University. From what we saw
we are convinced that young man can be as
we'll fitted for business pursuits in Tallahassee as
at any of the popular and expensive Commercial
Colleges of the country!
We found quite interesting class just enter
ing the Practical Department. The members of
this class, we were informed, had been thor
oughy drilled in tie theory of )ok keeping dur
ing the past quarter, and were now taking the
course which in all essential respects is conducted
like real business. Merchandise was being pur-
chased and disposed of, exchange bought and
sold, money loaned, notes given and received,
cash deposited in bank and checks drawn in
liquidation of claims.
Each student was provided with a nicely
printed check book and pile of bank bllls-a
currency that looked very much like the real
dollars which we all so much covet.
We understand it is the purpose of the Trus-
tees TO enlarge this department the next schoas-
tic year, to have more commodious hall nd to
improve the appointments in all other respects
We are satisfied that good work is being done
in this departing MT and bespeak for it large at
tendance in future.
