Washington Letter in Louisville Courier ournal.
Senator Beck says emphatically that he in
dorses the opinion of the man who said the best
thought OF the Lords Prayer was LEAD us not
into temptation" and, therefore when he fbeing
member of the Senate appropriations commit
tee) received at the Capitol the card of the wife
of Senator Logan, and knew that she came to
argue him into advocating an appropriation for
the Gar field Hospital, he sent word to her that
he could not see her. This did not discourage
the lady, who has had years of experience in
coaxing men to change their minds in regard to
legislation and nominations so she again sent
her card to the man who thought to evade an in
tervew. The would-be obdurate Senator sent
back the same message, only to receive the re-
ply that the lady said she would see him. and
would keep her seat until he ame out The kind
ly nature of the Kentucky Senator as well as
his gallantry appealed to him and forbade him to
keep her on guard too long, and he gracefully
submitted to the inevitable. He tried to speak
grufdy as he remarked when he met her, II
sent word that would not see your She an
you received my message that would remain
until did see you" Forthwith she proceeded
TO state her errand, and in the most captivating
manner urged the need of such hospital as the
one she was now advocating, and that it was
especially adapted to Washingron that it would
fail If not assisted by Congress She convinced
the Senator, in spite of his better judgment and
not only that, but he adds in telling the story
that Mrs. Logan never fobbies and only uses
legitimate means when she wants something she
has set her heart upon Mrs Logan wrote down
the sum wanted, and Senator Beck put it through
as an amendment to the proper legislative BILL

MIR. Cleveland's Business Ability.

Washington Special
Mahlon Chance, of Ohio, who was consul al
Nassau, speaking of President Cleveland to-
night, remarked that he was probably the only
man in Ohio, who. at the time of the last Chi.
cage convention, knew Grover Cleveland. He
said: THE way that it happened was this: In
1872 was stationed as consul at Nassau and
Grover Cleveands two brothers, Fred and Cecil,
were running the Royal Victoria Hotel on that
island They had gone to the United States on
visit and sailed from New York on the steam
ship Missouri, which was lost ON Oct % of that
year. Grover Cleveland and a Mr.. Stevenson,
of Brooklyn, were appointed executors of the es-
tate, and they came to Nassau to settle up
Grover Cleveland showed himself then to be a
man of more than ordinary executive ability.
He took up the ragged thread of the suddenly
and so sadly terminated lsiness enterprise, and
in a weeks time had placed the affairs of the ho-
tel on sound and paying basis He engaged
the Morton brothers. of New York, to take
charge of the house, and 80 we'll have they man

minstrator was that the profits should be turned
over to their mother, as both Of the brothers,
like himself, were unmarried. 1 have seen
Cleveland since, and he is going to run the
White House on the same business principle.
He learned something of the business OF Keeping

expression in saying that he was going to learn

There are q half dozen anti discrimination
railroad bills before the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania, most of which are lacking in either hon.
esty or in wisdom, and would defeat their pro-
fessed object if enacted, by paralyzing both pro-
ducers and transporters In commenting upon
the several bills the Philadelphia Times says:
'1t should not be forgotten that our transporta-
ton companies feel as keenly as any other bust
ness circles the severe depression of our pro-
ductive industries, and If iron clad anti-discrim-
ination had been enforced, as has been persist
emily urged upon the Legislature, many of our
struggling but surviving industries would have
been hopelessly destroyed. Railroads have done
more than all o5hes causes to develop our
wealth; and they can1ot prosper at the cost of
should be held to strict obedience to
the fundamental law, interpreted in
its just spirit ard any discrimination in facilities
for traBsportion should be made impossible by
penalties which would surely forbid such palpable
wrongs; but there should be equally just protec-
ton to both producers and transporters, regu-
lated by the sound business principles which
govern all legitimate business enterprise. The
Western trade has been carried during the last
year by all the trunk Ices at little more, and
sometimes at little less than cost by reason of
the cut-throat rivalry of leading lines; and any
State with an ipdexible anti discrimination law,
would simply Be compelled to give up all such
traffic and send it to rival centers of trade
Such anti-discrimination legislation would be
simply cutting off our commerce and paralyzing
our business, without any benefit whatever to
local traffic. The Constitution wisely draws the
line on this question by providing that the
charges to any station shall not exceed like
charges to any more distant station, and there is
the proper limit of infexble restrictive legisla-

Heated Fruit Cars.

Without question heated fruit and vegetable
cars have done such excellent service this severe
winter that they will come into genera. use.
These heated cars have been in use this winter
and last in the banana trade between New York
and Boston, and the result has been an increase
of 100 per cent in the business. The necessity
for heated cars arises from the fact that fruit is
very susceptible to frost, and transported in the
ordinary way in winter, would frequently be a
total loss. The absence of some cheap and con-
venient method of heating the cars in which
fruit is shipped has been great obstacle In the
development of winter fruit business. Two
Boston roads have adopted these cars on their
local lines and as favorable answers in this re-
spect have been received from the other roads,
it is expected that they will be in use on all the
local roads next winter. In New York these
cars are now run between New York CITY and

was asked the other day how Daniel S.
Lamont became private secretary. Shortly
after the election the papers of the State sud-
denly took an active interest in the private
secretaryship. 1t about equaled the recent
Cabinet gossip Mr. Lamonts name was then
freely mentioned. One day there came letter
from Mr.. Lamont to Grover Cleveland. In it he
said that he did not want to be held responsible
for what the papers said about his connection
with the private secretaryship, and hoped
sible. In fact the matter had disturbed him
because he did not wish to be placed in false
position, and his letter was prompted from these
motives. He had not thought of the office and
mad not thought OF making any effort
from candid man, and different
from some of those who were scrambling for
Office. At that time Grover Cleveland did not
know Daniel S. Lamont, but Mr. Bissell, Cleve-
lands partner. had favorable acquaintance
with him. They were classmates at Yale. Col
onel Lamont was selected through no pressure.
as has been intimated to me- for if that press ure
had been exerted Colonel Lamont would have
been probably thrown overheard like all Others
who have relied upon political influence for posi-
tions within Cleveland's gift He was selected
upon his merits, as the result of inquiry and Mr..
Blssells frank statement Of his merits.
Speaking of Colonel lamont, / am reminded
that during Clevelands preparation of the draft
OF his inaugural message in Buffalo he sent for
Colonel Lamont. He came to Buffalo aud as
sisted Mr.. Cleveland Shortly after he returned to
Albany, few weeks before the inauguration. an
Albany paper purported to give an interview
v IN Colonel Lamont. in which a synopsis was
given of what were intended to be the points Of
the Governors forthcoming message. Some
body sent the newspaper slip to the Governor as
reflection upon Colonel Lamont Speaking of
the matter few days after, Buffalo lawyer
asked Cleveland if the points published were
true. 81 don't know" said Mr. Cleveland.
