celebrated for its courtesy and its lknowl-
edge of men"-to people "who were civ
ilized before America had been discov-
ered"-to "the treasure-house of the
world;' and he was bold enough to hope
that he might have "the information,
the TACT the tolerance" as he had the de-
sire, ito do nothing but good to the dis
tinguishcd people" to whom he was ac-
credited.
In other words, Minister DENLY wants
TO go TO China, where he expects to reside
for the next four years, with the olive
branch of good-fellowship in his hand, in
stead of copy Of the Chinese Immigra-
ton act; and as he wishes to be we'll re-
ceivcd and make his mission of some
practical use to the international interests
of the two countries, he is certainly wise
in going as a friend rather than US an
enemy.

MR.. RANDALL'S POSITION.
The Pennsylvania Idea in Regard TO Of
fensive Partisanship.

fensive Partisanship.
II talked with Mr.. Randall about the
Offices" said Colonel Goode of ST. Louis,
to the Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. "Ie takes the
ground that questions of this kind should
be virtually determined by the Representa-
tiVes; that the Representatives should
have great deal and the Senators very
little to say to the President about the
candidates for appointments lie gives
pretty strong reasons for his position.
The Administration should get advice
from as near the people as possible in the
matter of selections, and the Representa-
tivcs are therefore best qualified to recon-
mend. Then he thinks it doubtful pro-
priety ON the part Of Senators to 20 to the
White House in the interests of certain
candidates when they will be called upon
hereafter to pass upon the appointments.
"Ie said to me, Il wouldn't give a
nickel for n man who isn't an offensive
partisan in the sense now applied to the
tenn, actively in the interest of the party
to which he belongs. | am an offensive
partisan myself. OhicehOlders should be
removed because they are Republicans.
Public sentiment, in my opinion, would
sustain such a course
81 asked Mr.. Randall if he thought any
of Mr.. CleYeland's nominations would be
fought in the Senate.
"1They undoubtedly will, said he, and
there | think the Presidents position
would be stronger if he stood on the broad
plank of the right to surround himself
with the members ofhis own party / have
urged the Administration TO pursue this
course rather than to rely upon the often
siye partisanship The latter is flimsy
pretense to my mind
"Mr Randall further remarked that in
his conversations with members of the
Administration he had steadily urged his
views, but he did not venture an opinion
as to whether offensive partisanshiI
would be dropped and this more practical
policy be adopted"

Now THAT Senator Dawes has found it
out we presume it will be no longer dis
puted that the famous Oklahoma lands
are partly occupied by cattle-men, whom
General Hatch has not seen fit to drive
out as trespassers, as he did Captain Couch,
and that the Creek Indians are not OPP
posed to having the lands thrown open for
settlement, provided the Government will
buy the strip of about 6,000,000 acres lying
between Oklahoma and Kansas which Mr..
Dawes thinks the Government ought to
do. We have thought all along that Cap
tain Couch was badly misrepresented in
dividual, and we are now convinced of it,.
The cattle ranches must go out and the
settlers must come in.

THE Mexican band which proved so
strong feature of attraction at the New
Orleans Exposition has started out on a
tour through the principal cities of the
United States, under the management of
Junius Hart of New Orleans, who agrees
to pay them $4,000 a week and expenses.
The music is no doubt delightful to listen
to, but at such figures to the producers is
bound to come high to the consumers.

SENATOR MILLER of New York is just
now bending his powerful intellect to the
organization of a fishing club, with the
view of purchasing large tract of land,
including several fine lakes, up in Hamil-
ton County. Amos Cummings, Titus
Sheard and several other distinguished
journalists and publicists are members of
the syndicate, and the new purchase will
doubtless become a great summer resort
for visiting statesmen.

A Wide-Awake Farmer.

Troy, n. Y. June 20.-An attempt has
been made to swindle Clark Perry, an aged
farmer of Pittstown, in this country, and
father of ex-Assembyman Eli Perry, by men
who worked the advertising sign dodge. Two
of them asked the privilege of placing signs
on bis fence, and professed to be old acquain
tances of his and of B F. Bancroft, Presi-
dent of the Salem Bank. of which institution
Mr. Perry is Director After reaching an
agreement about the signs they made an en-
gagement with Mr.. Perry for meeting here
to-day. When the engagement was kept a
sugge stion was made that the party walk to
the place where the signs were said to be
painting. After goirg short distance one
of the swindlers entered place to see. as he
said, If lottery ticket he held had drawn a
prize The other suggested that he and Mr..
Perry go along. After entering the fellow
with the ticket handed it to MAJ behind a
desk. and the latter announced: "Well, Sir,
YOU have drawn S50l, but as do not pay the
fractional parts of the drawings I shall give
you but the even $500, and he handed the
ticket man $500 in bills. Mr.. Perry's escort.
turning to him, said Now Uncle Clark
you must try your luck, but the Old gentle
man was wide awake and strenuously refuse d
to take any part in the scheme. We'll, said
his escort, "then will buy a ticket and give
YOU half; you'll accept it. won't you Uncle
Clark ?" he continued MIR. Perry did not
want money bad enough to accept the prof
fered 'chance." However, the ticket was
purchased, with the understanding that
"Uncle Clark" should have half what
it drew. Some man1uvring was gone through
with. and it was announced that the ticket
had drawn 81 500, but thew refused to hand
over the mony until The fortunate ticket hold
err and Mr.. Perry had each signed paper to
| the effect that they were worth that amount
of money. "Welr said the ticket holder, II
| can soon establish the fact that | am worth
that amount of money; can't you, Uncle
/ Clark p
Yes" replied Mr.. Perry. Il can if I
want to
At this juncture of the proceeding Mr..
/ Perry arose and walked out of the house fol-
low ed by one of the men who said Uncle
Clark, hope you won't say anything about
this " "Yes | will said Mr.. Perry; Il
will notify the first policeman meet of your
netarious scheme. You thought | was
greeny but you made mistake"
The police was set to work, but the sharp
ers had fed. The object probably WAS tc
get Mr.. Perry to sign his name to draft or
check which the trio could get casted at once
