President Cleveland is develop
ing as q story teller. He has dis
missed the value Of petitions for
Office = good deal ~ 4 story which
he told an Office seeking Senator.
He said that when he was Mayor
Of Buffalo there was a sharp con-
test for the position Of Chief of
Police. One candidate in par
ticular was Endorsed by such a
!srge number Of citizens that
when he saw the petition the
Mayor thought probably that he
ought to be appointed. He stated
this conclusion to two of his
friends who came to see him, but
thcv informed him that in their
opinion the appointment would
not de good one, and should not
be made. He, thereupon, showed
them the. papers signed by such a
large number of leading citizens
and said he did not see bow ae
could ignore it. .ney therepsn
asked him e delay action for. two
days il order that they might pre-
sent paper to him, and went
away. At the end Of the time
they returned, bringing another
petition signed by a long list Of
Buffalo people, some of them prom
inent in the city, and a number Of
them his friends. 1t was not
petition for the place Of Chief o.
Police, but was addressed to the
Governor of New York, and stated
that Grover Cleveland. Mayor o.
Buffalo, had been guilty of embez
element of the public funds, wa:
unfit to hold Office, and ought to b
removed. It simply showed how
easily reputable people could b.
got to sign petition without read
ing it. Since that time Mr.. Cleve
land says he has not had a higl
opinion of signatures to petitions
relative to Offices.

u EXCEPTIONAL HORIZON

brsou p. Arnold, a polvkamous
Mormon. was recently arraigned at
Salt Lake on the charge Of having
two wives. His course in Court
was an astenisher to both Mormon
and Gentiles. Heretofore Mormons
charged with the crime compelled
their wives to 20 On the stand and
periure themselves for hours and
DAYS together to keep them out OF
the penetentiary. Arnold, however,
instead of shielding himself be-
hind the skirts of his wives, and
resorting to Wholesale perjury, tech
nicalities, etc. stood up in Courtand
pleading guilty announced that ne
was ready to take his punishment
then and there, and in future he
would agree to live with his lawful
wife and support his second vile
and her children the rest OF their
natural lives. What contrast was
this man when compared to the
miserable reptiles who have drag
ged foolish women into the mire Of
a false faith, and are now hiding in
dens and caves, from the officers o.
the law, and leaving their families
to bear the consequences of thel1
evil ways, The Court approaching
his manly course gave him the low
est penalty of the law, which was I
fne of $500.

Perfection of Railroad Management.

Nothing so thoroughly exemplifes the perfec-
ton of railroad management as the manner in
which the immense amount of travel to the in
auguration was handled by the roads composing
the Great Pennsylrania System. Never before in
the history of this country has there been such
demand made upon transportation facilities, as
during the four days Immediately preceding and
succeeding the 4th of March yet, under its splen
did organization, the vast travel was accommo-
dated without the semblance of an accident, or
more than trivial delay. Thousands came from
the North, East, West, and South, aggregating a
total of from 10000 to 10000, over the lines of
this one company alone, yet they were all accom-
modated without any apparent effort on the part
of the Great Corporation, which justly is acklOwl
edged the leading railroad of the world. This
grand achievem is not due alone to the skill
and experience of its officers and employees, but
to its splendid switch and block signal system,
which makes the handling of many additional
trains as simple and easy as the movement of its
regular service. Superiority of management and
perfection of modern appliances were never be-
fore so aptly shown, and the result accomplished
is but another illustration of the fact that speed,
comfort, and perfect safety are always guaranteed
when we journey over the lines of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and its branches.

The Friends Discipline.-A committee APP
pointed by the Phila. Quarterly Meeting ofFriends
has now under consideration a series of altera-
tions in the Book of Discipline WHICH have been
approved by the Monthly Meeting Of Friends in
Philadelphia, and which will come up for action
at the Yearly Meeting in May. The principal
changes relate to marriages between Friends and
persons of other denominations, and to ministers
of the Gospel who receive pay for their services.
The proposed alterations have excited consider
able discussion among the Friends. Some object
because they think the Discipline is complete,
and that the only desirable change would be to
carry out the present regulations more earnestly.
Others believe that, as society at large changes,
the rules for personal conduct must to some ex-
tent be modified, and accordingly they favor the
proposed alterations as being more in harmony
with the spirit of the age than the present discip
line. With regard to mixed marriages it is pro-
posed to discourage" instead of "discountenanc-
ing" them; or, in other words, that when such
a marriage is contracted committee shall visit
the contracting persons, and, if their relations
are in every other respect proper and legal, that
the Friends shall recognize the marriage valid,
though contracted without their appreciation.
The word "hireling" is not to be applied to
ministers of the Gospel who receive pay for their
services. This is in recognition of the fact that
many of those who receive such compensation
earnest and faithful men, very different from the
''hireling" priests, to whom George Fox applied
the word.
