UP TO last Friday wien the President
left Washington for a three weeks va
cation, he had appointed 467 pOstmas-
tiers, 274 of whom were TO fill vacancies
caused by death. expiration Of term, or
resignation. The remaining 1913 cases
were suspensions for offensive partisan
ship, which is the new way Of designA-
ting removals. When Mr.. Cleveland
returns to Washington the suspension
business will go on a good deal more
rapidly than it has heretofore done, and
Democrats will then more seusibIy real
ize the true meaning Of last Move ber's
election. Up TO the same day Mr.. Ste-
YeDsOn, the First Assistant Postmaster
General. had removed without a why
or a wherefore, as he has the right to
do, over > 600 fourth class postmasters,
and expresses his belief that when the
weather gets somewhat cooler than It
has been, he can MAKE much letter time
in turning out Republican officials than
he has been doing Turing the heated

THE President having notified the
cattle kings to remove their herds from
the reservations of the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians withinin forty days.
issued proclamation on Monday last
ordering the removal of every unla vful
enclosure OF the public lands (meaning
thereby barbed wire fsnces). and declar-
Ing that the public domain shall be re-
served for tie occupancy of actual set
tiers, and that those seeking homes on
the public lands shall not be prevented
0y any wrongful act Of third parties
from making the free entry to which
they are entitled under the homestead
laws. 1t is just as certain as the sun
rises in the east that Cleveland is terri
bly, in earnest in his proclamation. and
that he will not permit the public lands
tn be interfered with by stock grazers
and thus made difficult or impossible to

FOUR months ago when there seemed
TO be mighty poor prospect that the
people Of New York city would raise
the amount necessary TO complete TIE
pedestal for the magnificent gift by the
French people OF the Bartholdi statue
TO that city. the New York World an
nOunced its determination to raise 10y
popular contribution the 5000 nee
esstry FOR the purpose. The scheme was
Tidiculed 10y many Of the leading papers
in that and other cities. and its failure
was confidently predicted. The World,
however. went vigorously to work. aud
since then at intervals has announced
the progress Of the contributions, which
showed constant and gratifying iu-
crease. On Tuesday last it announced
that the contributions had 0n that day
reached total Of SlO2, 900. anil that it
had beeL contributed by 12O. 600 people.
For this remarkable schievemt nj the

THE number Of "reminiscences OF Gen.
Grant and the remarkable things he did
and said at interviews where no third
person was present are assuming large
and fearful proportions. To anybody
who is familiar with the history of the
war some of these recollectfons are very
laughable, and especially those purport-
TO be based on interviews ia this couu-
try during the period covered by Grant s
trip around the world. And then, too.
the number Of war horses ridden BY
Grant at the siege of Vicksburg in 1868
that are now dying, some from old age
and some from wounds, is truly remark
able. One of these old war steeds that
had been shot while Grant was riding
him the day before Vicksburg fell, was
owned by man named Baker, in Fay
ette county, West Virginia. He was
without a blemish except the scar re
ceived at Vicksburg, On yesterday
week he refused to eat his oats and in
spite Of treatment by the best horse doc
tor in that county grew worse and died
on Saturday. the day of Grants funeral
1t is most pathetic story and most
remarkable coincidence.

present political issue in this State
Every hour has It's duty and its issue.
The political issue Ia Pennsylvania this year
Is tire enforcement of the provisions of the
Constitution fOrbidding unjust dircrimina-
tlOns 10 fTeiRhts aud the absorption OF com
pettnR lines OF railway. A party of COnsti-
tuiiOnal Rights ought to be formed 10 every
county OF the Commonwealth, with these
provisions for a platform. No other issue
Is needed The majority for sustaining the
Constitution ought TO be as large as that by
which u was originally ratified, unless the
people Of Pennsylvania are ready to bow
their necks to the yoke OF railroad monopoly.
