A REFORM ADMINISTRATION.

| MI Cleveland Carrying Out the Pro-
gramme OF Reform Successfully.
All fair-minded men agree that the
| new Administration is carrying ont the
| programme of reform conscientiously
and successfully. The Republican party
can not be expected to rejoice at the
good government that Mr. Cleveland
has given the country. But all inteni-
gent, honest and patriotic men-the
great masses-do rejoice. Mr.. Cleve-
land has made mistakes. as matter of
course, for he is but human. But when
the difficulties that he had to encounter
upon assuming Office are taken into
consideration, the reform brought
about in three months is almost marvel

On the 4th of March the President

President Cleveland has removed all
sectional barriers. On the 4th of March

ARTEMUS WARD.

How the Humorist Relieved Some Printers
Who Were in Trouble.
1t was back in the fifties; we were all
rooming in old "21," our bachelor bar
racks, in the upper story of a business
block on Superior street, in Cleveland.
A gay party we were-Sam and George,
Ali and Maryland our third-story den
became headquarters for lots of witty
and jovial boys, who made it almost a
club-room in their nightly Wis ts.
Among the most welcome was Charley
Brown, ..Artemus Ward" as he was
then just entering the sobriquet from
his quaint series of humorous articles
in the Plaindealer, on which he was
local editor. Brown, or Artemus. as
we already begun to call him, was ex-
cessively fond of practical jokes, and
the fun made among the circle of his
friends will long be remembered.
One night among the small hours
Artemus burst into our room-the door
was always on the latch-rushed to the
window. threw it up, and. leaning out,
screamed in the shriIlest feminine
voices:
Help! Help! Murder! Help! Muir

VIII lie Artemus slipped into the nearest
bed, and half-score of police dashed
into the room and summoned us to ac-
count for the screams.
Artemus sleepily assured the blue
coated gentry that no born woman
was secrcted in our premises, and SO
well enacted the sleepy astonishment
of awakened virtue that, after prowlng
in vain about the room, the guardians
of the peace withdrew, and we heard
them ransack'ng the building for quite
while seeking for the cause of the
alarm.
When all was quiet Artemus ex-
planned the rumpus he had made. Some
three or four printers who worked on
the Plaindedler had been imbibing too
freely, and Charley Brown coming up
found them in the hands of the police,
being conducted to the calaboose.
Anxious to rescue them he conceived
and executed the ruse. The piercing
screams of the female in distress. and
the eager hope of unearthing tragedy

A sAGE.s OPINION.
Ex-Governor H0rsti0 Seymour ON q
New Administrations.

Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour ON tAai
New Administration
On the 31st of May Horatio Seymour
filled his seventy-fifth year, having been
born on May 81, 1910. In letter to
close personal friend the venerable
statesman refers to his advanced age,
and expresses his gratitude that his
mental faculties are still vouchsafed to
him unimpaired, although the crowding
years press heavily on his sight, hear
ing and his limbs.
YES to take an active interest in the
pohtlca! movements and public ques-
tions OF the hour, and he believes that,
standing apart from the strife and the
turmoil OF active political life, he can
view matters more calmly than in
former days. and perhaps with more
lmpartiality. He rejoices that he has
lived to witness the return of the DEM
ocratic party to power in the Nation
not that Democrats may enioy the
spoils Of Office, but because it is a vim
dication of the principles of Democ.
raey. and proves to the country that
the party is capable of governing wise.
~. and is sincerely DESTROYS of making
an economical, honest Administration.
Mr.. Seymour expresses entire conf
dence in Mr.. Cleveland and believes he
will make successful and in the end a
very popular President. The Admins
tration moves slowly, says the ex-Gov-
ernor, but is it not wise and prudent to
do so? He might himself some years
ago have preferred more active party
measures than have yet been adopted,
but he contents himself now with the
knowledge that honest men are at the
head of public affairs and that in good
time all the minor offices will be filled
by those whose honesty is above sus-
picion and who are imbued with true
Democratic principles.
On one point MIR. Seymour expresses
himself enlphatically. He can see no
single event of President Cleveland's
public life which casts doubt on his
genuine Democracy, and he believes
that as man of brain and judgment
the President must recognize the neces-
sity of strengthening the Democratic
party, and the folly of putting danger
Gus weapons into the hands of any men
whose sentiments prejudice them against
Democratic traditions and who may at
any moment be, found in opposition to
the Democracy
Mr. Seymour speaks of his closing
life, his, entire happiness, his affection
for his old associates and friends and
his confidence in the American people
in language of touching simplicity. The
venerable statesman and staunch Dem
ocrat ends an honorable public ca
reer with a dignity and kindliness which
prove that the people were right to trust
and honor him. The sunset of his life
presents it's most attractive and beauti-
full colors.-M y World.

A School Principal Dilates on the Scie1
of Truancy.

A School Principal Dilates on the Science
of Truancy.
The boy who never played hockey
during his school-days is hard to find.
for the reason that somehow or an
other the goody-goody boys all die
young and the teachers pets never
seem to pan out into anything re-
markable. If they do they generally
become ashamed of themselves and re-
cite wonderful stories of their Juvenile
depravity. A school principal. who
had a few hours leisure Saturday
afternoon. entertained reporter with
some remarks on truancy in the schools.
He said: .'Truancy, or absence of a
scholar from school without permits

parents. exists to an alarming extent in,
the schools. We. have lots of cases of
playing hockey during the circus

of school about April, and from that
time until school closes in June, we
have the most trouble. The boys
don't play truant in winter"
whats the worst case of truancy
you have come across?" asked the re-
porter.
about the worst was the case of a
boy who stad away from school for 40
consecutive days without the knowl-
edge of his parents. Now when boy
is absent three days his name is dropped

REPUBLICAN, BAD BLOOD.
Tho Christian Statesmen of New Jersey
Frelinghuysen's Grave.

Tho Christian Statesmen OF New Jer1oy 1t
Frelinghuysen's Grave.
1t was very unseemly that so solemn
an event rs the funeral of ex-Secretary
Frelinghuysen should have excited bad
blood among the christian statesmen"
of New Jersey. But such unfortunate
ly has been the case. It appears that
in arranging for the obsequies of the
departed ex-Secretary his friends re-
membered that he had been defeated
for the United States Senate some years
ago by Senator Sewell, who now holds
the position to which the deceased had
aspired. 1t should be supposed that
death would have smoothed the asper
tiles and Modified the harsh feelings re-
sulting from such contest. But il
seems only to have intensified them.
The managers of the funeral thought
it would be good opportunity to show
Sewell what they thought of him, and
accordingly they refused to extend to
him those funereal courtesies which are
customarily extended to the leading
statesmen of State when one of their
number shuffies off his mortal coil Sem
ator Sewell was pointedly omitted from
the list of pall-bearers, and to give addi-
tional acerbity to the slight the Demo-
cratic Senator Mcpherson was promi-
nent among those who had the handling
of the coffin. With q Christian determi-
nation to overlook so obvious snub
Senator Sewell, however, determined to
attend the funeral, and in company
with friend walked up the aisle Of the
,hurcb, but was politely told that there
was no seat for him, as they had been
reserved for the friends of the de-
ceased. The Senator walked out of the
church and went home, no doubt with
feelings such as he should not have en-,
tertained on SO solemn an occasion. One
of the managers afterwards chuckled
over the manner in which they had
beaten the ''Sewell gang"
That such bitter disagreements should
exist among Republican leaders is some.
thing to occasion painful surprise to
those who regard them as the represen-
tatives of the higher moral sentiments.
How can the Grand Old Party expect
to repair its damaged fortunes if its
statesmen-Christian statesmen, too, al
that-carry their chickering's to the
