WORDS FITLY SPOKEN.

Two recent occurrences indicate that the President of the United States is determined to do his duty in spite of the obstacles placed in his way by selfish and designing men of both parties. Nothing more refreshing has lately been published that the letter written by the President to a man who signed a pe- tition in favor of the appointment of an unfit man for office, and after the appointment had been made wrote the President a private letter expressing his "astonishment and re- gret," since the appointee was not Qualified morally or professionally" for the office, and explaining his action in signing the petition on tine ground that he and the applicant were friends in business, and he E'hated to refuse. :" He probably wished he had refused when he read the following passage in the Presi- dents letter: don't know whether you are 8 Democrat or not; but if you are the crime which you confess is the more unpardonable. The idea that this administration, pledged to give the people better government and better officers, and engaged in hand-to- hand fight with the bad clements of both parties, should be betrayed by those who ought to be wor- thy of implicit trust is atrocious; and such treason to the people and to the party ought to be punished by imprisonment.
 This is just rebuke. Another notable display of the right spirit is found in his talk with the representatives of the western cat tie men who asked to have the time which the government had given them in which to remove their herds from the Indian resarva- tions extended from forty to one hundred days. Their reasons for asking the extension were that to attempt to remove them in. so short time as forty days would entail great expense, as the distance to be travelled was from 800 to 200 miles, and so rapid a journey would require large forces of mount ed herdsmen and would iniure and kill many of the cattle. All this looks plausible, but the President showed it's fallacy with 8 few forcible words. f'There is one point which seems to have escaped your attention, gentle men" he said. ''That point is before my eye, and it is the public interest. Two in terests are in conflict. Which shall give way? On the one side we have public peace, public security, and the safety of lives. On the other side are your interests. The form CT, gentlemen, must be considered. though private interests suffer-" Having told them that this was his position and that he could not be induced to change it, he informed them that they had known it twelve days ago; that that portion of the forty days had been wasted; that he wished to them develop some diligence in complying with the governments order, and that if their in terests led them out of the Indian country instead of in he could not help thinking that they would find some way of getting out in the specified time.
 There is much encouragement in this. If the President continues to stand as firmly for the public interest ss he apparently has so far his administration will not be failure, even if it does disrupt the Democratic party.

 An Ohio man has been investigating the cost of maintaining the families of mechan- ics in that State. He finds that it is less than the cost of keeping prisoners in the county jail-being 32.45 cents per capita day for the former and about 55 cents day for the latter.
 There seems to be good deal of what is popularly known as "poppycock" about the color blind business. One of the two en- ployes of the Delaware and Hudson railroad who failed to pass the tests for color blind ness was the engineer of the most important train on the road and he had had no difficult ty in properly attending to signals.
 The strangest freak of boycotters has cropped out in Chicago. There are three company which manufactures saloon fixtures The company is careful about taking intem- perate men into it's employ, and has dis charged several who were known to drink more than was good for them. The west side saloon keepers union discussed the at titude of the firm toward drinking and wound up by solemnly agreeing not to buy any more goods of it. A pleasing occurrence is reported from Louisville. Owing to fire the services in one | ot the Baptist churches of the city had to be | abandoned on a recent Sunday, and notice to the preceding day. A prominent Hebrew citizen read the notice, and the result of his quiet consultation with the officials of the Jewish temple was the offer of the use o1 | their magnificent structure to the Baptist pastor and his people until the damage | which the fire had caused could be repaired "Local option" seems to be working well in Georgia. A bill recently passed the lower house of the legislature to allow the people of any county to hold an election to decide whether they would have local prohibition
 at reasonably frequent intervals, until pre-
 hibition should be adopted, but that thereaf' ter no other election touching this question should be held. The Senate very properly | objected to this one-sided method and 1t Ii considered certain that bill will be passed
 by both branches of the legislature whict shall permit any county te hold an election
 to adopt or to abolish prohibition once every two years.

After Caribou.

Sport and Travel, by Capt. Kennedy.l
 We counted seventeen or eighteen of them in charge of monster which loomed up as big as bullock and carried magnificent head
 The deer were travelling diagonally toward us, down wind, so that by running as hard ss we could for half mile we were able to intercept their path, and had barely time to drop behind some low junipers before the leading minds were upon us. It was an ex- citing moment as the graceful animals passed our ambush in twos and threes, some of them not more than five yards off, and none more than twenty. As they crossed ou-
 track they winded it, jumped over, and, pasr sing on, assembled themselves in our rear.
 Joe was greatly excited, and kept
 whispering in my ear, 'Take that one, sir;
 she got five inches of fatr' but I was deaf
 to his remarks, and kept my gun at half
 cock, for I could hear the old bull grunting in rear of his harenl. Presently his brow ant1ers appeared-what moment for deer stalker!-then his head and enormous neck and what head of horns!-and then his huge carcass came in full view. Joe gave a grunt, the old brute stopped, and at that in stant the heavy ounce ball crashed in behind the shoulder, the poor brute gave a prodig- ious bound, clearing fifteen feet, as we after ward measured, and then laid out at full gallop It mattered not; the gal lant beast, going like race horse, but dying all the way, made straight for lake, some 400 yards away, and plunging in, rolled over dead. His horns stuck up out of the water like branch of a tree. After a | good deal of trouble we got him ashore, and surveyed his noble proportions. 'sHe very ole stag" said Joe; 'about 10 year old and
 weigh over 800 pounds" But, by love, what head!-42 points, as Pm a sinner with the palmated brow-antlers interlocked across his nose like pair of clasped hands, his huge bull neck and shoulders bearing many a sea1 Brigham Young" on the spot out of compll- ment to the Mormon elder

 Goods,

For instance. Anderson's fine Scotch Ginghams are reduced to 25c from 4oc; all Fancy French Sateens from s and 40 cents to 25c; I2 Hc Ginghams to Sc; all Lawns to SC, and every thing else proportionately,
 A very cheap lot of Victoria Lawns are at the White Goods counter, We bought them in remnants, length to 8yards, and so cheap that the fine quail ties at 8, 9, 10, I2 and JAG are quite equal to Lawns from the piece at IA, I6, IS, 20 and 25c. As all of price are of the same quality, a dress will cost about half-price if it is pieced little.
 In the Linen stock were few fine goods slightly soiled. That is the reason for marking some Bleached Damask from $2. 50 to $1.75, from $I.75 to SIPS, Sc. A lot of Towels which were 75c, S5c and $I, mostly $1, are made SOC for the same reason. Another lot from SIPS are made 75c. Some fine Quilts from $7 are made $5, and from $6 are reduced to SAYS. Such is the penalty we pay for dirt.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, August THE first guns of coming
struggle were fired by Chamberlain at Hin, in
his speeches on "Wednesday aud Thursday eve
nings. They have excited great interest every
where and real enthusiasm among radicals. The
address: Wednesday night was a carefully pre-
pared and long expected manifesto. 1t de-
clared for local government, graduation taxa
ton, reform land laws and free education. On
the last subject he was clearer than ever before,
saying: Il hope one of the first acts OF the new
parliament will be to see that education suited
to the capacities of every child shall be con-
ferred free upon all for the benefit of all and at
the cost OF ALL" About taxation he said: II have
been criticised for saying the rich pay too little
the poor too much have given the matter
further consideration, and 1 maintain that
statement" Replying to charges against him
he said: 7" do not want you to think L suggest
to you that legislation alone can accomplish all
We desire. Above all / would not lead You into
wild revolutionary projects which would unset
tie unnecessarily the existing order of things;
but on the other hand want you not 10 accept
as final or as perfect the existing arrangements
under which hundreds of thousands, nay, mill
lions of your fellow countrymen are subjected
to untold privations and misery, with evidence
all around them OF accumulated wealth and
uneXampled luxury" The whole speech was
received with loud cheers. The papers 10 dis
credit him say he has now nailed the flag of So
cialism to the mast. Parliament will rise ne t
Wednesday or Thursday.

SECRETARY WHITNEY'S DOLPHIN

What He Says of Published Statements
CriticisinS 1t.

Secretary Whitney's attention was called by
a STAR reporter to-day to special dispatch to
Il Philadelphia paper representing that copsd-
cradle dissatisfaction exists among naval ofli-
GERS at the partisan manner in which the Secre-
tary administers the affairs of the Navy
department. 4 special point was made in the
dispatch that the board which made the ad
verse report upon the Dolphin was composed of
two democrats CHerman Winter and Captain
Belknap) and an enemy of eX-Secretary Chand-
Ter Commander Robley d. Evans. and was
organized to condemn the vessel and bring
Secretary Chambers administration into dis
repute.
Secretary Whitney said he must decline to
be interviewed upon any such ridiculous stuff
He added that II any one could tell how the
at all, he couldn't. Mr.. Herman Winter, he
said, was selected because he is the most emf

country. He makes more money at his pro-
fession than any other two men. 1t was very
