A Contrast With -Four Years Ago.

The first month OF President Cleve-
land's administration is ended, and even
his enemies must admit that it finds
him complete master of the situation.
We do not believe that any previous
President has accomplished so much in
so short a time. To comprehend fully
what has been achieved it is only neces-
sary to look back four years. What
was the situation on April fourth, 1881 !?
Had the Senate gone home, and was
Washington at peace Not by any
means. The nominations of Mr.. Rob
ertson for Collector and VIM. +. Chan
dler for Solicitor General were pending
before the Republican Senate, and ole
of the bitteresJ factionaI quarrels ever
known in the politics of this country
WAS raging within the Republican Tsnks.
The White House was besieged with
office seekers, and the Republican press
of the country was divided into two hos
tile camps. The fight grew in bitterness
till the middle of May, when Senators
Conkling aud Platt resigned. 1t was
not till eight weeks after the appoint
ment was made that Mr.. Robertson was
confirmed and the nomination of Mr..
Chandler rejected. The Senate adjourn
ed on May 20, but it did not leave peace
in Washington. The factional fight was
continued there and at Albany, and cul-
minated in the shooting of Garfield by
a weakbTained aud disappointed office
seeker on Juiy2 2. The contrast between
1885 and 1881 is Instructive in many
ways but in none more so than in the
light which it throws uUon the kind of
experiences which best fits man for ex-
ecutive Office. We heard great deal
during the campaign about Mr.. Cieve-
lands inexperience in national uuiiLics.
and the trouble which his unfamiliarity
with methods and men at Washington
would inevitably bring upon him Mr..
Garfield had an abundance of the very
experience which Mr.. Cleveland lacked
He bad spent his whole pubiic life in
Washington, and knew it's men aud its
ways as well as any Other man of bis
time f; vet he was unable to overcome
dificIlties much less formidable than
those that confronted Mr.. Cleveland a
month ago, but which nave been sur

than anything else and instead of being

HERE is an interesting question
Could the present Republican Legisla-
ture OF this State get along at ali with
out the aid and assistance of Chris Ma
gee, the big Pittsburg Republican boss?
Our decided opinion is that it couldn't.
Precisely who Chris Magee is, OF upon
what meat this Pittsburg Cesar feeds
that he has grown 30 great, is something
that We don't know; but we do know
that on nearly every Monday since the
Legislature met the Pittsburg papers
announced that ''Chris Magee went to
Harrisburg to-day. - and on the follow
ing morning the Harrisburg papers told
their readers "Chris Magee arrived in
the city last night" He bossed Cam
erOh's reelection to the United States
Senate-was conspicuous in shaping the
Congressional and State gerrymander
schemes, by which it is proposed to
cheat the Democrats Of Allegheny
county out of even one member to the
lower branch of the Lsgislature-he
engineered as we'll as he knew how the
anti-discrimination bill, and though last
not least, is trying to pass the "Bullit
bill'' for the government of the city of
Philadelphia, without ever having been
asked by its people to do so. 1t will
thus be seen that Msgee spreads him
sef cut over almost the entire field of
legislation. One would suppose that
Tom Cooper in the State Senate could
run the Republican machine at Harris
burg without any outside assistance,
but that is great mistake. II Magee
isn't useful at Harrisburg he is at least
officious, even extensively so, and takes
a hand at almost every thing of the least
importance that comes up before the
Legislature. Great is Chris Magee the
Pittsburg boss.

A LETTER purpOrting to have been

days ago in the northern press, although
1t bore upon its face, and especially in
its concluding sentence, the ear marks
OF stupid forgery. Now that the for

Ex-GovERNoR HUBBARD, of Texas,
who was recently appointed United
States Minister to japan, is said to
weigh 3S6 pounds. Whether this is
his true weight may be questioned, but
in point of fact he is a very large and
very heavy man, and in selecting pro-
per person to represent this big country
at japan Mr.. Cleveland hunted out the
biggest man in Texas, the State that
gave him the biggest majority last No
vember, the figures being, Cleveland,
223, ,20S; Blaine, 1885; CleVeland's
majority 1884, ,S53. There is a fitness of
things in Hubbard's appointment in ev-
ery respect il which it can be viewed.
II is said too that his voice is as terri
bic as that of Ex-Governor Allen, Of
Ohio, who could be almost heard in an
open air speech nearly over an entire

AMONG the mourners over the new
addition to the course Of study in our
common schools is the ex-Rev. Nathan
iel Horne, of Cambria Altoona
Tribune.
What the Tribune here refers to as
"the new addition to the course Of study
in our common schools, - is an act pas
sed by the present Legislature and sp-
proved few days ago by Gev. Pattison.
1t will be found in another part Of our
paper. Although as provided by the
third section the law does not take ef-
feet until the first Monday in June, 1886,
We publish it now in order that our
common school teachers may know what
tie Legislature requires at their hands
after that time. 1t is not worth while
now to enter into any discussion of the
propriety of enforcing, as this bill does,
the teaching of the anatomy of drunken
ness in the common schools. Our own
opinion OF the bill is that it is humbug
Of the largest possible dimensions, and
that little experience will prove such
to be the fact. It ia strongly suspected
that book prepared by some enterpri-
sing publisher, and soou to appear, on
the effects of alcoholic drinks, stimu-
lants and narcotics upon the human sys-
tenn, - the words used in the act, is at
the bottom Of the whole business. This
was denied by its advocate when made
in the House. and time only can tell
how true the charge is. William Shaks-
peare, in his tragedy of Othsllo, puts
twenty-eight words into the mouth of
one Of the players who was on the stool
Of repentance after big drunk. which
describe the effects Of drunkenness more
completely, truthfully and eloquently
than all the dissertations that ever have
been or ever will be written on the sub
ject. Cassie, who was Othello's Lieu
tenant, and who was recovering from a
regular jamboree, says: 'Oh, that
men should put an enemy in their
mouths, TO steal away their brains.
That we should, with joy, revel. pleas
into beasts" Could anything be taught
by schoolmaster or schoolmistress to
the pupils in a school, out of a scientific
book on the effects of drunkenness, that

THE bill reported by the House Com
