WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-President Cleveland
seems to have assumed a very combative dispo-
sition. He summoned a newspaper man to his
presence the other day and handed him an ar
tcle written by his own hand, in which he un-
dertook to take the press of the country to task
for certain criticisms it had made upon his ap-
pointments, especially those on the Civil-service
Commission He seemed to think that the press
ought to investigate all the circumstances sur
rounding his appointments and the influence
brought to bear upon him to bring them about,
and to consider the disadvantages generally un-
der which he labors in making his appointments
before any judgment is passed upon the charac
ter of the men given the Offices. The newspaper
correspondent read the Presidents production
very carefully and remarked to him:
''You have sent for me as friend supposed to
know something about the running of newspa-
pers and the object of men in writing criticisms
about you. You doubtless want my honest judg
ment on this matter. and would give you moth
ing else under the circumstances. IF this were
printed. coming from you as an authoritative
statement. it would simply put the united
press of the country against you. Of
course, you expect to be combatted
by the press of the opposition party.
You cannot, however expect to critcise the
press in your own party and try to coerce it into
supporting you. If the Democratic newspapers
want to criticise you the best you can get out of
it is to try and act in way that will not bring
about this criticism; that is, as far as you can,
and at the same time perform your conscientious
duty. | would advise you to tear this manu-
script up and deposit it in the waste basket.
After you have thought upon it few days, and
if you watch the press longer as President of
the United States, ] think you will agree with
me that this is the wisest course"
That manuscript will never see the light of
day through print The personal explanation
concerning the new Civil service Commission
and involving the Office of weigher ot the port
of New York, and the appointment of Sterling
to that position, was written by President Cleve-
land. The same gentleman who advised the
President not to publish the attack upon the
press of his party made public the personal ex-
planation of the President on the Ciyl-sevice
Commission. The President is very clear
headed man, and has a great deal of self-poise
and determination, but it begins to look now as
though he would be grounded within short
time if he did not consult some friends who are
as wise as the one quoted. The President is
very clever with his pen

She Threatens to Publish Another Book.
Notwithstanding Friendly Remonstrances
special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov 11.-Miss Cleveland the
Presidents sister, threatens to infict the people
with another book of essays. Her publishers
say that she will realize from 500 600 to $50 900
from the publication of the book she issued last
spring, and she is so elated over her success that
she has for some time been in country place in
New York State doling out the manuscript for
another one of her dreary works. The sale of
her first book is almost entirely suspended kere
The book stores report that they very seldom
make sale at wholesale prices, and the book is
being sold over the counters here for few cents
less than half the price it started to sell at.
Many of Miss Cleveland's friends have advised
her not to attempt the publication of another
book at this time. because the public is weary
with seeing her name in print, and that after
lapse of year or two she would be much more
successful. She has quite as firm determine
tion, however as her brother and unless some
accident occurs the book will be out in short
time, reports state.

THE PAPAL DEGREES.
DR.. O'Connell Declines to Furnish ANY In
formation Concerning Their Nature.

BALTIMORE, Nov Il-Rev. DR.. D. j. O'Con-
nell, who was commissioned by the late Catholic
Penary Council to bear the DEGREES formulated
by that body to the Pope, returned this morn
ing, having completed his mission. Dr. OCon-
nell, on his arrival, Immediately reported to the
Archbishop's episcopal residence and delivered
the DEGREES to the apostolic legate In reply to
questions asked concerning the nature of the
DEGREES, Dr. OConnell said that he had no in
formation concerning them to give. When asked
whether the statements published in some of the
papers as to their nature was we'll found
ed, he inquired what they were, and
seemed surprised at the absurdity of
much of what has found its way into print re-
garding the action taken by the council. Their
ultimate purpose. DR.. OConnell said. was merely
to further broader and more plentiful division
of the benefits of Christianity. Studying his re-
marks. DIR. OConnell further said: There is
nothing contained in the DEGREES which is not
wholly within the scope of the purpose I have
mentioned"
1t will be remembered that authorizations were
entertained, in some quarters, that Dr. O'Con-
nell. on his return from Rome, would be able TO
throw some light on the vexed question as to
whether or not there would be another American
Cardinal, and whether Archb Gibbons
would receive that dignity in case
another red hat was sent to the United States
When questioned concerning the cardina!ate. he
said that he knew nothing about it, and had
heard nothing during his stay in Rome to indi-
cate whether another American preate would
receive the honor not.
Dr. O'Connell said that when he left Rome
Pope Leo was in excellent health. The Doctor
seems to have enjoyed his visit to the Eternal
City very much, and to be very we'll pleased with
the result of his mission. After completing his
work IN connection with the decrees, DR.. O'Con-
nell will return to Rome, to assume the duties
of his position rector of the American Col
lege.

WASHINGTON. Nov 1.-THE Senate will be
called upon this winter to expound the law and

in public lands throughout the great West The
Democrats are bent on practicing a piece of

possibly can, whether they were earned or not
A gentleman at the Land Office says it is won
derful how many Democratic members of Con-
gress have called there to get reports and figures
concerning the public lands, for the purpose of
compiling speeches. No doubt there is a large
proportion Of the lands granted railroads in the
form of subsidies which ought to be recovered
back to the public domain, but old land officials
and the best Republican and senatorial heads
say that the ndiscrminate onslaught upon the
corporations and individuals who have secured
public lands by donation or purchase in large
tracts, is nothing less than piece of cheap
politics. intended to catch the votes of the masses

Effects of the New Order at the White House
How Public Men Regard 1t.
Washington Special.
1t is hard to judge of the effect of the new or
der of the President excluding ofice-seekers and
their advocates from the White House because
there are SO few senator's and members in town.
] asked, yesterday, the sergeant in command of
the messengers in the main ante-room of the
White House if senators and members would be
required to say in advance whether their busi-
ness was of private public nature before be-
ing permitted to 60 up stairs. '.It is my duty"
said he in reply, 'to call the attention of the
public men who call to see the President upon
the three days of the week when he receives to
the strict language of the order. They will be
required to state whether their business is pub
lie or not" But suppose they refused" Then
their cards will not be sent up But suppose
public man goes up, he says, upon public
business, and then talks in favor of some Office
seeking friend of his2" That will be matter
for the President to regulate. am sure no pub
tic man would gain anything by such course
he might find trouble in getting in again"
No order ever issued by the President has oc-
casioned so much talk. The senators and mem
bers have been so used to going to the President
with great delegations Of officeseekers. that the
sudden change has occasioned great surprise I
do not find that the senators and members are
disposed to criticise the order very severely.
The majority of them are not over anxious about
their officeseeking friends, and find in the order
new excuse for avoiding responsibility in look
ing after them. The security of many of the
Republican officials rests upon the fact that they
have strong Democratic supporters Colonel
Lamont said, the other day, that if move was
made to- change a Republican official, usually
half dozen Democratic statesmen would be
found rushing to the front to insist that he was
the man of all others to be retained. II is
always easier to hold man in, than to get q
man who can be controlled into place.
Every Republican in Office who has any patron
at his disposal, began the very next day after tbs
last November elections to place it at the dis
men, with a sure control. therefore, of the man
who is in generally prefer to have him stay
rather than to take risks with an untried and
unpledeed man, merely because he happens to
bear their party label.
