manlike argument. He has continued his
posing by reading essays at colleges and
has obtained thereby IA reputation for be-
ing a scholar. He is a man without even
the rudments of classical education
and could not give the simplest declen-
sion of Latin verb. do not deny that
he has common school education, but
he is no more entitled to pose as scholar
than as a statesman. When he got into
the State Department for the first time
where some capacity for the administra
ton OF business was required, and his
career there has demonstrated, | think,
to the satisfaction of every one, that this
capacity for the conduct of public affairs
can only be described In the language

he said: POLITICALLY they are a weak lot.
Manning Is the best man among them.
But l doubt If Cleveland appreciates
him. If there is any body in the Cabinet
of whom Cleveland has good reason to
be jealous it is Manning. Whitney is an
agreeable man of the world-a man Of
good parts. But hear that he is indo-
lent and not inclined to wear himself out
in his service of his chief. There is no
question of his ability, however. Endi-
colt is Massachusetts, non -entity. 1t
cannot be said of him that he is even a
stop-gap. He is not subject for criti-
cism or comment. Garland is dead. If
Mr.. Cleveland desires to keep him in his
Cabinet in an embalmed form he should
have the undertaken keep close watch
over the condition of the remains Lamar
is a man of great ability, philosopher
and an honest, upright man But he
made a great mistake when he went into
the Interior Department. There is moth
ing in it there congenial to his tastes.
He would have made a splendid Secre-
rotary of State. He had never in all of
his public career given single thought
to any of the different subjects embraced
under the Interior Department. l am
sure he never read report on Indian af-
fairs aud cared nothing for them. He is
at present confined to an overwhelming
mass of business for which he has no
taste or interest" Then he turned, after
finishing this analysis of the Secretery of
the Interior, and said: "Who is the Post
master General?'
l replied, "Wm. f. Villas, of Wiscon-
SIM"
Il understand that this gentleman
from Wisconsin, whose name you say is
Villas. is conducting the Post Office De-
partment very we'll, owing to the fact
that he has retained 96 per cent. of the
Republican employees in that depart
ment. do not know how he would manage
the department if he were really to con
duct it upon his own responsibility, with
appointments made according to his own
personal selections. AS it is now he is
merely directing a W, II oiled, thoroughly
regulated Republican machine

A Terrible Calamity for Young Lady.

odH rFuHtiStO htpofI
Terrible calamities have at times in
terfered with prospective and present
pleasures. Whole families have been
plunged into grief on the eve of some
great rejoicing; young men have suffered
tortures because their pants were knee
sy;" old men have blown out their brains
because the Canadian excursion train did
not start on schedule time, and old
women have cut each other dead because
of some tale-bearing cook. But it re
manned for a sweet, shy girl graduate to
suffer the most horrible catastrophe of the
year. She was to have party. The
invitations were scattered far and wide
Her prepared toilet was gem Her ad-
mirers dOu Dled the fingers of both hands,
All decorative nature and gastronOmic
art smiled. The eventful day arrived.
She awoke with lightsome heart. She
arose. She gaZed upon her nightgowned
duplicate in the mirror. Horrors! A
pimple a horrid pimple. Where? Aw
full to tell-upon her nose. Despite every
remedy it grew, and grew and grew. By
noon it was the size of a pea. At o'clock
cherry was scarcely its rival. The only
panacea, a messenger boy with explana
tory note. The invitations were recalled
and that night residence on Bush street
responded not to tie tiny conversation
of vealy cubs and giggling maids.

The Young Woman Who Makes Misstep.
Altoona II ibune.
We are IN entire sympathy with those
of our exchanges who expose and de-
nounce the Inconsistency which endeav-
ors to save fast young man while it
pushes farther into the pit of infamy the
young woman who has made single
misstep. 1t is right to do everything pos
sible to save the young man. 1t is a cruel
wrong that the same strenuous exertions
are not made on behalf of the young
woman. That is q burleSque Christianity
which falls on the neck of the male pro-
figate while it curls the lip in scorn at
his unfortunate victim. Another evil
there IS under the sun. While society
ostracizes the woman who has gone
wrong, refusing to show her any coun-
tenance or to believe in the commences
of her repentance, too often 1t Welcomes
with opeu arms to its inner circles the
scouudrel who was the chief instrument
of her TALL. There should be an end of
this. The destroyer of female virtue
should be stunned as one would shun a
deadly cnntaginn. Bet er take into your
ZONES den of rattlrsnakes than the
moral leper who blasts aid destroys all
upon which he breathes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9,-Ths bad feeling
existing lately between the Virginia sena'
tors, Messrs, Malone and Rlddleberger,
has been intensified, so far as the latter ia
concerned, by a neat trick Of Senator Ma
hone, in securing the appointment as page
Of young constituent OF Riddleberger,
ThR boy, It appears, innocently asked Mr.,
Malone to help Mr., Rlddleberger in his
endeavors with. the Ssargeant'at'arms.
Malone seized the opportunity to euchre
RiddlebeTgsF by asking place for the
hoy on his own account
Sergeant.Rt arms CaRadsy gave Ma
hone the appointment, and whom Riddle.
berger came along asking favor, It was
discovered thar his boy had already been
provided for by Senator Malone, Riddle
b.rger was very mad, and his indignation
at the interference OF Malone In his al
fairs, he accused the Sergeant-at'arm OF
being In colluslon with his hated col
league. He stormed about, aud threaten
ed to introduce resolution calling for an
illVtbblkhtluH VI uAIe ShHAupI hhnh
agement, in spite Of all attampts on tho
part OF that official to assure the irate Vir-
ginian that he was innocent OF any intens
lion to favor Malone more than any other
Senator.
Friends OF Riddleberger, to whom
Canaday explained matters finally induced
RIddleberger to believe Malone was the
only ono to blame, and the Sergsant.at.
arms has been assured that he will not be
worried by the threatened resolution Tor
an investigation. The cause OF the falling
ont between Malone and Riddlebsrgsr Is
due entirely to local political complications
IN their own State and the too Conyiyil hRb.
It's Of the latter. Riddleberger h the terror
OF all the Senators. He never missed an
opportunity to rattle the Ftaid old body ot
which he is q member, and 81 whoGs dig.
nifty he snaps his fingers. When he gets
on his feet he stays there until no has had
bis say, and his views IS expressed are al
ways interesting to tho galleries, from
which he Is frequently applauded. He
has no hope oil reflection, and be seems
determined to make things lively whil0
his present term lasts.
