Washington Letter.

w aShInGton Letter.
The Boston speech of Mr. Hendricks did not
fall pleasantly on Mr. Cleveand's ears and he
is less than ever inclined to favor a man who he
thinks is travelling over the country setting the
party against the administration. Then Hen
bricks is a different man in Washington from
what he appears elsewhere. Get him away on
political mission, and he assumes dignity which
becomes him. But the picture he presents, as
you sec him round Washington Of hot day. as
he circuates about is an altogether different
one. With his bow legs, an old thin mohair
jacket, big umbrella in hand and his hat set
jauntily on one side of his head, as far back as
1t will hang on, from the rear he presents the
identical appearance of the seedy but eminently
respectable Irish gentleman, who always appears
on the stage in the olio part of minstrel show.
He has the same swagger and air Of inimitabe
good nature, not put on, for as every one knows
Hendricks has Hibernian blood in his veins and
talks with perceptible accent. AT the differ
ent departments he is received as hale fellow,
but the newest congressman gets full as much
consideration.

have to make out very strong case if they ex-

Cleveland's Idea of His Greatness.


There is great deal of quiet talk going on
about President Cleveland / am told that Dir.
Cleveland has become so infatuated with his
greatness that no ore dare criticise any of his
actions He will not brook any criticism, how
ever honest or sound. He has around him a
little crowd of fatterers, who are filing his mind
with the idea that he is ''The Man of Destiny"
His old friends forgotten When he went
from Albany to Washington, not single citizen
of Buffalo was invited to go with him, or to meet
him there. 1t was as if they were dead or for
gotten. No President has yet occupied thechair
OF Washington and Jefferson who has not found
in his home city some man who was fit to fill a
position of high honor. There were only four
delegates from Buffalo in the State convention
that nominated Cleveland for Governor who
were original Cleveland men, They begged,
pleaded, argued and brought the others over.
They have their reward in this that Mr.. Glove
land kindly ignores their existence.

A CUSTOM in vogue among the Spanish cigar
makers of New York is one that might have
been suggested by Boston society for the pro.
motion of culture among the masses, but which
is, unfortunately for the pretensions of that
city, foreign importation. The workmen in a
factory contribute twenty-five cents a week each
to a man who spends two hours daily in reading
aloud to them. In the morning he reads the
Spanish and American papers, and in the after
noon reads from histories novels, or such books
AS may be the choice of majority of the
hearers The workmen do not rest from labor
during this time, but continue busy though lis
tening attentively. Indeed, the superintendent
testify that more and better work is done during
the reading hours than at any other time. The
plan is so good a one that it might be adopted
with profit in all factories and work-rooms where
the nature of the employment is not such as t.
demand the undivided attention of the men ant
women engaged in it.

TIE remarkable complaint comes from the
far West that the cattle ranges are already
overstocked, and that in event of anything
like a prolonged drought or winter, thousands
of cattle must perish. It is quite probable

ii is certain that with anything like wise hus-
bandry of the natural resources of the vast
plains, the enormous cattle product of that

LORD CARNARvoN, whether automatically
or ingenuousIy IS taking exactly the right
course to conciliate Irish malcontents, and to
enlist the confidence and support of all classes.
His announcement in the House of Lords,
and which preceded him, that there would be
no more coercion, was enough to guarantee
him a cordial reception at Dublin This wise
and just step was wisely followed by another,
which must have secured for him the respect
of all with whom he cared to curry favor. He
dispensed with police and military escort in
his walks and drives about Dublin. His con
duct compels admiration. He is safe.

PREMIER SALISBURY is acting with COM
mendable good sense. Instead of rolling up
his sleeves and bounding into the ring like a

SOME men are so curiously constituted that
they object to being heldup as lawful examples, y
even for the sake of a good cause, and this fact
is likely to prove stumbling block in the path
of earnest temperance workers. In their efforts
to run q certain n-keeper out of the neigh
borhood some jealous people in the vicinity of
Dayton got out petition demanding that he be
prohibited from selling liquor to eight persons
named in the petition, whom they claim are
drunkards, though the business men Whereabouts
class them as respectable and good, sober farm
ers The eight men have so little gratitude
for this effort to remove temptation from their
path that they have engaged the services Of an
attorney and will sue the petitioners for SANDER
and damages in the sum of $4,000 each. The
zeal of the anti-saloon people will probably be
somewhat rnitigated by this unexpected move,
but the loss will be made up by their gain in
discretion.

vor of the Hub It has seemed, for instance, that
a correspondents recent assertion that the
average Bostonian regards it as religious duty
to correct errors of grammar and pronunciation
perpetuated in his hearing was an exaggeration
of facts. 1t is in no other than the Boston Adver-
tiser, however that the question is brought up
as to the proper method of treating
an ignorant wretch who commits the
awful blunder of referring to Howels's
latest heroine as penelope" before a room full
of people The query is stated thus: Ought
the blunder to be politely ignored, politely cor
rected, or openly enjoyed, as though purposely
made?" In the instance which suggested the
inquiry. the person addressed was the bravest
person in the room, according to the Advertiser,
and gave the information asked without the
culver of an eyeash, his kindness Of heart and
the perfection of his breeding so far controlling
him that he carefully avoided the use of the
mispronounced word, lest he might seem willing
to further disgrace q guest temporarily under
his protection" 1t is to be feared that even
this brave man would not have been equal to
the occasion had the ordeal been presented to
him of saving his. guests feelings by saying
Penelope in three syllables, instead of four, and
it is, therefore fortunate that he was able TO
carefully avoid the word in his reply But could
such question ever come up for discussion in
any but Boston paper!
