An Issue for the Republicans.

The Republican papers have at last sue
ceeded in getting hold ofsomething out OF
which they are doing their best to make
little capital against the administration
They have waited in vain 70 find some
thing in the public acts OF the President
which they could handle to his disadVan-
tage.
The action of the Solicitor General,
acting for the Attorney General, direct
ing the United States District Attorney
at Memphis to begin suit in the name OF
the United States IN the United States
courts at Memphis to declare the Bell Tel
ephone patents void, has afforded them
the opportunity they have long desired
to show their hostility 10 the administra-
ton.
The New York TrtBune leads these or
gans in this telephone matter, but in view
of the fact that the attorneys OF Bell are
using its columns to defend the Bell pat
ents, it is probable that it may also be re-
garded as the paid organ Of the Bell Tele-
phone company.
The suit which has been begun at Mem
phis is calculated to cause the Bell COM
pany great deal of trouble and expense
and, perhaps, some uneasiness. Hence
the company would like, doubtless, to
have it thrown out OF court, even before
there has been any discussion Of it, and
that is the reason, perhaps, why there has
been so much criticism of the Department
OF Justice in authorizing the beginning of
the suit.
1t is true that the Attorney General is
large stockhOlder in rival telephone
company, and if the Bell patents should
be declared void the stock of the telephone
company of which he is a stOckhOlder
would at once become very valuable; but
ought he now to order the suit to be dis
missed simply because he has telephone
stock that VIII be greatly increased in
value If the suit is successful?
The question for the Attorney General
to settle with himself is this: Does the
law authorize the beginning of such a
suit as that which has been begun at
Memphis; and if it does, could the petition
of those who asked to have it begun have
been refused justly?
The Republican papers insist that the
Attorney General ought either to give up
his telephone stock, resign, or order the
suit dismissed. 1t is hardly probable
that he will do any one of the things men
TONED. 1t would not help the Bell people
for him 10 give up his telephone stock or
to resign, and it is pretty certain that he
will not stop the suit. In the meantime,
however, the Republican papers may be
expected to keep up an incessant fire OF
criticism on him until the public gets
thoroughly tired Of the subject.

Mr.. Davis never said that he was clad in

and candldly states the truth and refutes
the falsehood that il 80 persisted in, that

IL is said that the last four officers Of
the navy who have been retired to that
bourne from whence no traveller re-
turns" died by their own hands. The
statement may not be strictly accurate,
but It seems that suicide Is becoming
common In both the army and navy. A
correspondent says the main cause is,
that owing 10 supernuity of officers,
especially in the navy, they devote them
selves very largely 70 efforts TO secure
promotion and are frequently disap-
pointed.

A CLEVER CROOK.
His Adventure with Tenderhearted
SaleswOman in Diamond Store.
From the Chicdda Mil

His Adventure with "a Tenderhearted
SsleswOman in "a Diamond Store.
From the Chicago Mail.
"There goes one OF the cleverist crooks
in the business" said Il 'round-town
friend OF mine last night as we stood on
the corner OF Clark and Madison after the
play. He nodded toward a smoothly
dressed young fellow who sauntered by.
Just now he's of his regular line, which
is diamond stealing, I'll tell you a story
about him, a true one, for didn't get it
through the police. About two years ago
he walked into State street jewery
store and asked to be shown some dia-
mOnd rings, stating that he desired to find
one OF peculiar pattern, which he de-
scribed.
"Iie was waited upon by young lady
clerk, from whom | got the story. A
traytul OF diamond rings was deposited be-
fore him and he looked them over care
fully, admiring several and criticisng
others in an easy, of-hand way, but be
couldn't find the desired pattern. After
some further desultory chat be took out
his handkerchief, wiped his lips and re-
turned it to his pocket-with valuable
diamond in its folds. That's the regular
old handkerchief game, you know.
''But the girl missed the ring as soon as
he stared toward the door. She didn't
yell out to stop him or anything, but she
just quietly called to him and s aid, smil-
ingly:
"'Now, think of It, I believe we bave
something in the wholesale stock that
will answer your description. If you will
step into that department with me l will
show it to you.'
she thought he was unsupported, and
followed like a lamb. AS soon as the girl
had closed the door she placed her back
against it, looked the young man in the
eye and said:
"'YOu have a diamond ring in your coat
pocket which you took from that tray.
Give it up
HE reached his hand right down in his
pocket without word and handed her
the ring. He didn't lose his head for
minute.
Now said the girl, pm gong to send
for an officer and have you arrested
"'Please don't do that YETI this clever
young chap said. i want to speak to
you minute. | stole that ring and you
caught me. You have recovered it, so
what good will it do you to have me taken
in? don't think you will say look like
hardened criminal. | am not. | am
young, and love liberty as dearly as you
do. VIII you feel better for having me
sent to Jail? | am sure you will not.
Now, no one in the store knows of the
affair, and if you will let me go promise
you never to show up here again.
s'Well, sir. he played so strongly upon
her sympathy and Observation-Disclosures that
she let him go. He walked out as jauntily
as he had come in, and none of the en-
ployes knew of the little affair till the girl
nearly tainted and thus give 1t away. Her
nerves relaxed after the excitement sub
sided, just like all the women. Then she
had to tell it. The thief got away. though,
and steered clear of that store afterward.
He's been 'pinched' several times, but
manages to sneak out of doing time some
way. | don't know what his lay is, ex-
actly, now, but you can bet he's getting
