The following curious Story comes
from Penzance, Eng: Twenty-three
years ago man was married to a re-
spectacle woman, and after leading her
a miserable life for three years he dis
appeared. Nothing having been heard
OF the man for twelve years, the wife,
on receiving an offer from well-to-do
farmer, married him, and settled in
the same neighborhood. Recently the
farmer was employed to provide turf
for professional man, who wished the
work to be hastened. The farmer ac-
cordingly engaged tramp to assist.
On the second day at dinner time the
tramp was without food, and the farm
er invited him into the kitchen. Upon

what is Washington TO BE,

We protest against the growing idea
that this city is to be dedicated to social
revelry for all time to come at sacrifice
of its great business opportunities.
No city of its population and size in
America possesses greater facilities for
commercial advancement than Washing
ton. Its climate Is superb. Its transpor-
tation lines are numerous, and radiate in
every direction favorable to mercantile
intercourse. There is in close proximity
TO IL the finest wator power on the epnti-
nent, while exhaustless deposits OF coal lie
but short distance away. The natural
currents Of northern and southern COM
merce cross each other at this point. The
products of both sections find here a con-
genial place Of meeting and exchange.
That this city is the political center Of
the country does not unfit 1t for great
mart Of trade, but, on the contrary, this
fact is q potency to push it forward to
high destiny.
The objection urged to the commercial
growth OF Washington is that social ro.
pose will he disturbed by it; that that
delightful lassitude, the product of
wealthy Incidence and official station,
which claims Washington by presumption,
cannot tolerate the dust aud noise Of active
pursuits; that from the so-callsd social
standpoint industry is vulgar. A young
man raised in Washington, under the
influence of tho balmy social torpor which
sweeps over him, feels his ambition to be
of some account in the world drying up,
and no naturally degenerates into the
harmless aud useless existence Of dude.
Those who come here from abroad oxpe-
rience no quiekening of their desire to
excel by the methods applauded in other
sections but they feel gentle taint Of
wOrthlesSness settle over them, and leave
with less of true manliness than they
brought with them.
The type of life in Washington i'm.
presses itself upon the whole nation, and
IL is not wise to establish social superior
ivy upon basis of Incidence and official

THE Democrats who go around asking
"Who is Phelps?' and kicking about
Phelps generally, ought to be ashamed of
themselves. Things are coming to a
pretty pass, indeed, whom President
Cleyeland's appointments arc cordially
approved by the Republicans and cor
daily condemned by large section Of
the Democrats Mr.. Phelps has not boon
making himself conspicuous at conven-
tions, on the stump, or in hustling about
among the boys who do the slick work of
politics. but he has won for himself the
fame of being one Of the best lawyers in
the whole country, and is an accomplished
gentleman who will creditably represent
his country in tho land Of tho bold
Britons. And, besides, he is Democrat
whose credentials in party sense arc
Al. 1t is related Of him that in 1864 he
made speech up in Vermont In which
he called Abraham Lincoln "woodon-
head" and "twentieth-rate back -coun-
try lawyer" declared the north was
fighting to "whitewash the negro in tho
blood Of millions" and that the national
debt had reached a point where II
could not be borne. Now, we hope that
tho unhappy Democratic brethren will
reflect over these little matters, where.
upon they cannot fail to perceive that
Mr. Phelps comes up to every require
mont of the situation. 1t is not to tho
point that they did not know of Mr.. Phelps
President Cleveland did, and that covers

THE Congressional Record having dwin.
died to one page, and even that mostly
filed with standing matter, the painful
fact is forced on public attention that this
great daily is about to suspend publica-
tion. 1t is possible that in distant locali-
ties, where the Record has but a compara-
lively limited circulation, its suspension
may not be deeply or generally regretted.
But the people of Washington, who, since
the departure of Col. Don piatt, have
learned to rely on the irresistible humor
of the Record for their stated supplies Of
amusement, cannot think of Its approach

4 Breakfast Postal Card.

Mr.. PRESIDENT: Upon reflection breakfast
postal card seems to be in order this morning
as events are transpiring daily which will
wreck your administration unless you begin to
trim ship. Mr.. Seward, a statesman Of most
remarkable prophetic powers, predicted that
the next great struggle for political power
would be between the seaboard and the in
terror. Your own election, the selection OF
your cabinet, the selection OF your ministers to
represent us abroad have created In the minds
of the people an impression that you have
given undue prepondernnce to the interests
and influence of the Atlantic states
You have very little left in the way
of desirable official patronage other than local
with which to check the disc content and Sec
tonal feeling that are now rapidly growing
in the interior. This condition of affairs has
been stimulated and aggravated by your in
discreet silver letterand the failure of Congress
TO make appropriations for the improvement OF
western water ways Should you continue as
you have begun the eastern states will never
again have the opportunity 10 shape the ad.
mlnistration OF the national government.
Time was when the Atlantic seAboard
controlled nearly all the chairmanships OF
the important committees Of Congress Upon
that issue in his own party Mr. Blaine was
elected speaker under the belief that the west
would receive fair representation on the
House committees. From that day TO this the
political power Of the interior in tho House
Of Representatives has been potential.
The suggestions, Mr., President, are worthy
the consideration Of yourself and your cabinctj
