A BREAKFAST TABLE POSTAL CARD,
Mr.. PRESIDENT Your absence from the ma
tionsl capital during this heated term lhas
had marked effect on tho business Of the
hotels and on the passenger traffic Of railroads
terminating here.
Your adoption of the plan of transportation
by blackboard menaces the future prospects OF
this traffic. There are so many bourbons In
your party who prefer to progress backward
that the fears of railway officials seem we'll
grounded.
The people expected that you were going
fishing. but the blackboard statesmen have
got the word that fishing means caucusing to
such an extent that you will heartily join in
the chorus "0ut of the Wilderness" long be-
fore the first frost.
You are to be congratulated upon the dou-
Bile honor of being President of the United
States and leader Of the blackboard Democ-
racy, as our cartoon of to-day will fully de-
mOnstrate to your delighted vision.

IT is stated by southern paper, as
furnishing hints for enterprising men in
that section, that the dried fruit industry
of New England and the middle states
amounted last year to over $4,000, 900.
A tomato canning factory at Bordentown,

1t is enough for our present purpose
to note the painful fact that the foremost
champion Of civil service reform, in
formal address before the league over
which he so gracefully presides, has
given utterance to the most distressing
heresies, and has proclaimed that, up TO
a certain point, at least, it is "expedient
for reform" that political considerations
should govern in making appointments.
The emotions with which the downfall
of so great and good man ell US are too

machine states for this year, and civil
service reform will take starring tour
through the provinces. If everything
turns out all right civil service reform
can return, after the contests are over,
while the machine will journey to the
places where there will be elections next
year.
BY this plan civil service reform will
keep out of the way of danger and thus
be preserved in all its purity and
beauty.

IT is now charged that Judd, of Col

to be true-which we do not believe
does it help matters much to show that
honest Democratic applicants for office
were given the go.by in order to bestow
place on dishonest Republican?

TIL GRANT MEN ORAL NUMBER
There has been no parallel in the his
tory of Washington newspapers for the
great and sustained demand for our
Grant memorial number. The third
extra edition of that superb issue is now
printed, and the call for it is scarcely
diminished.
Thousands of our citizens have bought
it to send to friends all over the United
States and in many foreign countries.
The mails bring orders for it from hun.
dreds Of distant and widely separated 10.
calities. As q souvenir to lay away with
other memeutoes of great historic oc-
casion its appropriateness is selfevident.

The Chicago Inter Ocean notices the
suggestive fact that there is in this
country q gradual decrease in the num-
ber of persons composing family. In
1850 the number of persons to family
averaged 50-1OO, in ls6oit was 2S-1O0,
in 1870 the average had fallen to 8 9-1O0,
and in 1880 it was 400. This rate of
decrease would make the present aver.
age five persons to family.

A SOLEMN WARNING.

We grieve that the civil service com.

appointments are being made in the New

sharp eye on both Hedden and Beattie.

The New York HeraldS Washington
correspondent informs that newspaper
that 'the man Dunton, who was ap-
pointed postmaster in Maine when he
was in Jail, had been assistant postmaster
since 1882. lie was appointed by Re-
publican Postmaster General, and his
misdeeds were committed under the Re-
publican administration, and remained
undiscovered until the Democratic ad'
ministration took hold and began that
general investigation which has disclosed
20 many other misdeeds." Is it to be
inferred from this statement that the ex'
posure of Dunton's embe2zlement ofpub'
lie funds indicated the propriety of
making him the head of the office in
which he, when believed to be honest
and capable, had been appointed as
sistant by Republican administration

Gladstone did not respond, but he had
the man hunted all over Europe and

case occurred in this city some years
