WASHINGTON, D. c., OCT. %, 1885
THE POLITICAL CARTOON,

A Capitol Hill correspondent, hitherto
strongly preiudiccd against the Illus
trative features of daily journalism,
gives in at last. The excellent pictures
with which the columns of Tue CRrrIC
are usually adorned have wrought this
revolution and are rapidly bringing the
public generally to comprehend that
art and literature may be as happily
combined in the daily newspaper as in
monthly magazines.
The correspondent, however, is not
altogether converted. An exception is
made of the political cartoon. But our
friend must remember that there is
great variety of tastes to be consulted
in popular community like this, aud
that while we seek, especially to popu-
larize THE CRITrC with hearth and
home, there are thousands of readers,
particularly in city like Washington,
the Capital City of the greatest govern
ernment the sun ever shonc on, who feel
q lively interest in the politics of the
day. Every good citizen, in fact, is
more or less concerned in the laws that
govern him, the legislators who make
the laws, and the distribution of official
patronage. Here is class of people
that ought by no means be neglected. A
more impressive and potential
argument may sometimes be
made in favor Of justice, right and the
public good by the clever cartoonist
than by the editor or orator. There
are some subjects that may be far
more effectively treated with pencil
than with pen. So that rs long rs the
political cartoon is capable of such high
possibilities it would be unwisc to dis
card its valuable aid in this great era
Of reform.
Our chief object is TO reach the
largest class of readers by every legit.
innate avenue of approach, and our cor
respondent will readily understand,
upon moments reflection, that in a
country where the politician so much
abounds, even an independent, non
partisan press cannot afford to utterly
ignore him.
The Washington critic., 1885-10-23

EpToR Carrie: ! am one of the old TO-
gies who has at last yielded to the inevitable
and look upon the daily newspaper illustra-
tons as necessary feature. Indeed, |
have become a thorough convert, and don't
see how We can get along without pictures
Your illustrated articles are certainly better
than any | see, are amusing and to the
point, and take of perfectly the affairs of
The day. But why, Why, WHY will you de
face your bright little sheet with political
canoousy They are an abomination, and
the less we see or hear Of politics and poll
. ticians the better. Give us as interesting
matter as you have done heretofore, that
ontertains our wives and daughters, and
pictures too, but not political illustrations
that none of us care for. G. NJ. q.

a youur Lyric Artiat amour Ua

Mr.. Murat Halstead of the Cincinnati
ContmTcdt- Gd@eHe having rested from his
bout with John r, Mclean, is now inter
esting himself in having fund raised to
send the daughter Of late distinguished
statesman abroad to have her educated for
the lyric stage. The young lady is living
in this city and Mr., Ilalsteads 5 zeal in her
behalf is not lessencd by the fact that her
father was always staunch Democrat.
The editor has enlisted some well-lInown
Philadelphians in the subject and has re-
ceived liberal subscriptions from them. lie
is conducting the matter in so discreet n
manner that the name of the young lady is
not mentioned in the letters to those whose
cooperation he asks, so that, If the purpose
should ultimately fail of ealization-which
does not seem to be at all likely-"no

MY SHIP.

Down to the wharyes when the sun goes
And the daylight tumut and dust and din
Are dying away In the busy town,
60 TO see II my ship comes in,
! gaze far over the quiet sea,
Rosy with sunset like mellow winc
Where ships like lilies lie TRANQUILITY,
Many and fair, but see not mine,
| question the sailors every night
who over the bulwarks idly lean,
Noting the sails as they come in sight
Have you seen my beautiful ship come lng
Whence does she conner they ask Of me;
And who Is hermasterI and what is her name;
And they smile upon me pitylngly
When my answer is ever and ever the same,
Oh, mine was a vessel of strength and truth,
Her sails We're as white as spring lambs
fleece;
She sailed long since from the port of Youth,
Her master was Love, and her name was
Peace.
And like all loved and beautiful things,
She faded in distance and doubt awayi
With only a trcmble of snowy wings
She hoated swan-liko a-down the bay:
Carrying with her precious freight,
All had gathered by years of pain
A tempting prize to the pirate, Fate
But still watch for her back again,
Watch from the earliest morning light,
TIL the pale stars grieye DER the dying day,
To catch the CLEAN of her canvass white
Among the Islands that gem the bay.
But she comes not yet-she will never come
TO gladden. my eyes and spirit more,
And my heart grows hopeless and faint and
dumb
As walt and wait by the lonely shore.
Knowing that tempest and time and storm
Have wrecked and scattered my beauteon3

THE Democrats near Charlottesville
Virginia, are considerably worked up
over what they think is deep-laid
scheme of the Republican managers
Governor Cameron recently pardoned
a convict from the penitentiary, and
the convict pardoned will vote for the
Republican candidates. 1t is now
claimed that list of all convicts who
are serving terms in the penitentiary
has been forwarded to the Governor
and that many more of them will be
pardoned on the same political condi-
tions. We doubt the truthfulness of
this romance. In the first place Gov
ernor Cameron is not sufficiently
enamored of his party ticket this year
to put himself to much trouble about
it, and Furthermore. the alleged scheme
is too outlandish to be undertaken by
any man of sense and sagacity occupy

TILE GRANT TRUST Fund.

The parties who subscribed to the
Grant fund met in New York yester-
day. 1t was decided that the fund be
transferred to the United States Trust
Company, and that it be placed in the
hands of trustees to pay the income to
Mrs. Grant during her life and after
her decease to the surviving children
and their descendants. 1t was developed
at the meeting that the guarantee Of the
interest on the greater part of the fund,
which was invested in Wabash bonds,
had been carried out by the Morgan cs.
tate, the interest being paid promptly,
although Wabash had defaulted.
There was little spat in the meeting
between Mr.. George Jones and Mr..
Jay Gould. Mr.. Gould thought that
the money ought in the first place to
have been invested in Government
bonds. Mr.. Jones said that Mr.. Gould
had told him that the Wabash invest
ment was "as good as Governments. 3"
Mr.. Gould asserted that he had never
sald anything oil the KIND, ana MI
Jones called him another. But the
controversy went no further.
Mr.. Gould showed a spirit of gen
erosity that the other subscribers did
not seem to appreciate. He proposed
10 make up the difference, $28, 900, be-
tween the value of the Wabash invest,
ment when it was first made and what
il now is by assessment among the
subscribers but his suggestion was not
adopted Mr.. Jones, who said he was
sick of the management of the fund
because of personal illusions which
had been made was relieved, and the
fund which originally amounted to
$3.50, coo will be reinvested in Govern.
