Hit ls true, as reported IN distant
papers, that one ofour theatrical msn-
ayers called upon President Cleveland
and placed box at his disposal, and
that Mr.. Cleveland courteou,ly rcplicd
that he should be glad to Use box at
the said managers theatre upon coca
sion, but that he preferred tn obtain it
in the usual way aud at the usual price,
it is very gratifying iudred, and oifary
all opportunity to admire the good
sense aud good taste OF the new Cnie.
Magistrate.
In the same spirit and no less ad-
mr..ble is th- action of hose heads OF
Departments who have declined tie
pleasures Of carriage riding at ,hu pull
lie expense and sold the livery ouh
which custom lowed them. This lie
p.rtmcnt carriag. business WAS one Of
the most odious md least unsuitable Of
tile whole pcrqnisile family. Why the
government should he uladc to PROVIDE
acuach and coact.mun free of expense
to its heads of bureau is one vi the
things that no fellow can iinu Out. The
f; innate sense OF justice naturally made
the situation seem absurd if not oppre +
