eigns. The varied gifts and graces of the
women who have presided at the White
House have made each in her turn hon
ored and admired; but any lady who
knows many others is reminded that If
the distinguished honor had fallen here or
there, it had found those as well educated,
as thoughtful, as refined, as graceful, as
accomplished, and as wcll.itted for the
place as any who have filled it, just as
there are multitudes Of men as intelligent
and wise and as suitable to be Presidents
as any whe have been. Whether Mr..
Cleveland consuts his sister Or not in mat.
ters involving moral principle, the fact
of her strong personality in that conspic-
uous position, is not to be concealed. Her
past record, her active llfe-the very oppo-
site OF pampered helplessness-will be an
example and an inspiration to others. In
an era of self-indulgent and reckless ex-
penditure, Of frivolity and fashion absorb.
ing too much OF the national life, 1t is well
to have woman Of thought and con.
science and noble purpose in as exalted a
position as that held by Miss Cleveland.

The activity Of federal officials in Utah
within the last few months is making an
impression there. Their church orators
and editors are not so clustering and
defiant as they were even last fall.
The arrest and imprisonment of nine
polygamists has introduced an element of
unrest and feeling Of insecurity; and within
q few weeks over two hundred Salt Lake
elders Of prominence have found II con.
venient TO go on foreign missions or have
business In the east or over the sea. Among
these are John Taylor, Cannon, Joseph F.
Smith and Penrose, manager.in.chief of
the official church paper.
Judge Zane, who went TO the territory
last fall as Chief Justice, and District At.
torney Dickson got grand jury at work
among whom were no polygamists, and
divers indictments followed for violations
OF the marital law. The circuit courts of
Idaho convicted and imprisoned at least
one tcomuch.married man, and in Arizona
five, three Of them bishops, have been
consigned to prison. The frightened
Mornons look to the Supreme Court for
an operruling Of Judge Zane's decisions
relating to the granting OF bail while
appeals are pending, and other expedients
to stsye Off or nulliiy the law. The
promptness Of the officials has made a
panic among them. The Mormons hope
Cleveland may remove these federal Off
GERS. II the chief magistrate will only let
the powers that be continue there, Nor.
monisn will he made 10 contract instead
OF expanding itself as 1t has been doing
defianuy and without check.

THE House passed bill last Friday,
prohibiting the sale Of liquor within 1900
yards of an asylum for the insane or insti.
tuition for feeble minded youth. The vote
stood 81 to 18. An amendment offered to
guard the public schools In like manner
by allowing no liquor to be sold within
twelve hundred feet Of such school, and
another exempting Cuyahoga County,
offered by Mr.. Poe were voted down. 1t
appears that attendants guarding the un.
fortunates in the asylums have been made
unfit for duty by improving their opportu.
mites to obtain drink.

The appointment OF Hon. Geo. II. Pen.

gratifying 10 Cincinnatians, and the whole
country will feel that he will do them no
discredit. Completing his education in
Germany, familiar with its language and
literature, and with a salary of S17,5OO
year, one would suppose that the ex.sena

HOME OF JEFF. DAVIS.

Sixtyfvc miles beyond Mobile, on the
Gulf, is Beaunoir, the home Of jeff. Davis
A vote was taken to visit the place, and
carried. II was evening when our rolling
homes stopped at the waysde station and
we formed in line and walked by couples
through deer park toward the mansion,
passing along beneath palms, palmettoes
and live oaks festooned with Spanish moss
and gay mistletoe. Merry laughter min.
gled with musical songs, borne upon the
gentle south winds, came TO us and gave
peculiar charm to scene so Southern.
1t came from the happy cottage homes of
the colored people along the shore.
Our leader, Mr.. Healy, called to see If
the Davis family wished TO receive sixty
Ohio people. JEFF. was away on his plan
ta,ion up the river and would not be home
for two or three days, but Mrs. Davis
wished us 10 come in. We were royalty
entertained In the parlors of their mansion.
In words of welcome she said It was an
especial pleasure TO receive the people OF
the.North, and that this year has been one
continuous feast of friendship. Mrs.
Davis Is fat and fair, witha wellshaped
head crowned with silyery hair, and al
though she has seen much trouble there
are no traces of sadness about her.
She is very intelligent and gave us much
information about the South. This parlor
scene made deep impression upon our
party, and II there was any bitterness
towards the household when we entered,
