CURRENT COMMENT.

Philadelphia Times: The red flag OF
anti-CamerOn revolt doesn't flap very
/ feriOciously on Capitol Hill.
New York SIM: We advise our esteem
eel contemporary, the Times, TO sell Its
jackass and buy an intelligent cat.
Kansas City Journal: Mr.. Cleveland's s
civil-service letter is thorn in the side
OF the Democratic tiger, and he Is vicious
ly biting and gnawing at it to extract 1T,
If be can.
Harrisburg Telegrdph The legislator
Is here. just now he Is making states.
Ii is worthy of note that the average
legislator can make states with greater
facility than he can make laws.
New York Sun: They talk OF putting
Mr.. Mcdonald into the Cabinet, but the
truth remains unquestioned that the
fittest man IN all the United States for
Secretary of the Interior Is Mr.. Holman.
Chicago Inter-Ocedn: There is no use
In mincing matters and whining over it.
Cleveland and Hendricks will appoint
Just as many Republicans to Office as
Blaine and Logan would have appointed
Democrats had they succeeded.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: OF
course Hurd will be seated. No matter
about the election, he will be seated, and
he will not hurt theHRepublican party.
Besides it would end him politically In
the Toledo district. 1t is the Congress to
be chosen in 1886 that the Republicans
will carry.
New York Sun: We will all OF us
heartily join with our esteemed contem-
pOrary, the Omaha Herald, when, in
wishing the Hon. William M. Evarts
Happy New Year, it expresses the hope
that he may live long enough to become
Senator from New York. We hope so,
too, no matter how long it takes.
Detroit Post Now that Michigan po-
litics have probably seen the last of Gov.
Begole, let us all initiate his own Glenn
ency toward the erring, and grant him
pardon. He was unique and peculiar
figure In the history of Michigan; and
we shall not look upon his like again, as
long as the people of the State retain
their common sense.

THE HOUSE ORGANIZATION.

The question as TO the organization OF
the State House Of Representatives is
settled. The Republican caucus nominees
were elected. The only question that has
existed related 10 the altitude of the two
so-called workingmen from Detroit,
Messrs. Egan 4 McCleland. Some of the
smart fusion managers thought they saw
a chance To steal the organization from
the Republicans by securing the apostasy
OF these men. It was suggested that the
seven workingmen held the balance Of
power. and that they should name one of
their own number. and it was intimated
that their choice would receive the votes
Of the Democratic members. No such
suggestion was made when IL was be
lieved that the Democrats had majority
Of the members elect. When the name Of
Mr.. Brant was put forward as the candi-
date OF the workingmen the scheme was
transparent Brant had been announced
as the Democratic candidate when it was
supposed that the Democrats had ma
iority. Every pressure was brought TO
bear upon Egan and McCleland to in
duce them to support Brant as work
iugman. They manfully withstood all
seductive offers and voted for the Repub-
hcan nominee. They dill right They
were endorsed by the Republicans and
elected by Republican votes. The De-
mccrats. including Mr.. Brant did all
they could 81 defeat their election The
lesson 81 the affair is that the Democrats
have failed in their plan 70 have them

The recommendation made by ex-Goy.
Begole that the election laws of Michigan
be changed TO the model of New York's

would protect the wishes of the voters.
THE TELEGRAM yields to no journal In
the country in it's loyalty to the Repubh-
can party, but 1t is not SO pesslmistic as
never To see possibility OF good any
where except within strict party lines,
and always to snarl at everything Demo-
crat does or says. 1t Is not disposed,
therefore,like some of its contemporaries,
to read all sorts of duplicity between the
lines in Gov. Cleveland's civil-service let
ter. The President-elect has sins enough
to account for, Heaven knows, without
anticipating any for the future. When
Cleveland violates the civil-service law it
will bee time enough to condemn him.

Gov ALGERs message is characteristic
of the man. With only half dozen
lines Of introduction, and not a word for
rhetorical effect from beginning to end,
be deals dire city and pointedly with a
large number of practical questions de-
manding Legislative attention. Among
the recommendations which viii especi-
ally win commendation are those advis-
ing the adoption OF the Ohio law concern
ing the collection of taxes, the submis-
sion of an amendment creating a Board
of Pardons, the passing of law regu-
lating the sentencing OF prisoners TO the
IOnia House OF Correction and the abo-
htion OF contract labor in prisons. His
closing counsel to the Legislature urging
the members =" to push things" deserves
10 become historic.

The Life Of a French Girl.

The following is a well-known physi-
clans story: He had gone to visit one
of his lady patients, but found her out.
But her daughter, a girl of fifteen, was
snugly coiled on the sofa, so deeply in
terested in book that she did not even
perceive the visitors presence. ''What
are you reading, my dear, that interests
You so muchP' asked the doctor. "a
book that papa has forbidden mamma
to read, and which is going back to the
library by and by" That girl was
probably brought up in the old-fash-
toned way. Notwithstanding her age,
she had never been in the street by her.
SELF when she went out of doors to take
u music or other lesson, the maid ac-
companied her. On her constitutionals
the mother mounted guard on one side,
the father, imposing as the beadle OF the
Madeleine on the other. The girls in
structions were to neither look to the
left nor to the right, to walk straight,
to turn her head away or drop her eye
lids when stranger glanced at her: to
reply IN monosylables when addressed
by her parents friends. From time to
time she enjoyed a morning stroll
through the Jardin des Plantes or
d 'Acclimatation, and lesson of zoology
with the chill on. The bronze statuary
in the former gardens was avoided at
any cost. OF carpet dances with her
little friends, of pantomimes and good
classical concerts, not whisper. To
bed regularly at half-past eight now
and then, for treat. at ten. At Berlin
wool work in the drawing-room with
her mother when there were no guests.
Reasons of providence have probably
made her an only child. If she has a
little brother he is packed off to college
at seven. Such books as she is given
to read are either mawkish or dreary.
Adventures and travels are for boys.

The exercise would spoil the young la
dy's toilet; she might run herself into
a perspiration, and catch cold after
ward. OF education in the best accep-
tation of the term, she has none. She
is betrothed to a young man, or more
likely to middle aged one, upon
whom she has never set eyes until he
stands confessed as her future husband,
and she marries him as her mother
married her father She thinks no more
of opposing her parents wishes than
did the former. Why should sheP Ten

any male being short of fifty, since in
most bourgeois families, where there is

Fashion In Saddle Horses.

II never occurred 10 u till the other
day why we have set of fools about
our city parks who seem to prefer q
diaphragm-shaking, Notwithstanding
trotter for saddle-horse. to pleasant,
luxurious PAGER or racker. II is simply
because the English ride nothing but
trotters, and our dudes and dudesses
think nothing can be quite right unless
it is English And why do the English
ride nothing but trotrers9 Because they
have got nothing else. There is not a
pacing horse in all England. No En-
glishman has ever seen PAGER in the
last eighty or hundred years unless he
came to this country to see him. The
great English authority ON the horse,
Youatt, declares he never saw a PAGER,
and doubted whether it was possible, in
nature, for horse to move the two feet
on the same side at the same time, with
out falling down. 1t is not, therefore,
matter of choice, but matter of ne
cessty, that the English ride siotting
horses: it is that or nothing. III they
were to construct their pleasure car
riages to rest on the solid axle, and
without the shadow of a spring about
them, it would be but month TIL the
brainless apes on this side would be
doing the same thing, and shaking their
lives out in their enjoyment of the lux
ury. There is just as much enjoyment,
and no more, in riding trotting-horse
as there is in riding In pleasure car
rage without springs. From the hard
and relentless jolt of the trotter has
come the necessity for that idiotic bob
bling up and down with each stroke of
the horse. limitations are always vul-
gar, and especially so senseless one as
this. 1t is no wonder English writer's
numerically score the toadying tenden-
cies of ignorant and brainless American
tourists.
Provide an English lady and gentle
man of rank and commanding position
in society each with handsome and
well-trained Tennessee or Kentucky
saddle horse, and after they have APP
peared a few times in Hyde Park big
Ship load of them viii be wanted.
The typical John Bull will stand aloof
for time and pronounce the PAGER "a
blarsted American trick, you know, "
but when you have shown him, from
his own history, that for hundreds OF
years the PAGER was as common in En-
gland as the trotter, that he was ridden
by crowned heads and by the nobility,
while the ignoble trotter was assigned
to the use of the esquires and other
mental attendants, he will begin to
warm up to him, and treat him as an En-
glsh production returned to his native
land after many years. This will finish
the fashion of the jolting trotter as a
saddle horse, and we will have no more
of the ungraceful and uncomfortable
bobbing up and down in Central Park.
Ladies and gentlemen will sit in COM
fort and ease on the backs of their
gliding saddle horses as though they
were part of them, and this may be
continued many hours without fatigue
or exhaustion. Who has the enterprise
and the will to reform the fashion of
the world by demonstrating the superb
GRITTY of the American saddle horse
over all others, and thus place him in
the position to which he is entitled on
his meritsp- WalLace's Monthly.
