The able New York Democratic editors are
flying at one another again. Dorsheimer Of
the Star charges that Dana Of the Sun is dis
gruntled with the President because he
could not get favorite of his appointed tC
office, and that Pulitzers GOODNESS is the re.
suit of failure to get as much social recog
milton in Washington as he thought belonged
to him. OF course Dana and Pulitzer will
retort with some uncomplimentary illusions
to Dorsheime~. Personal journalism -four

Suppose the next President is Republi-
can. Then, according to Grover Cleveland,
it will be his duty to turn out District Attor-
ney Benton and all the other Democratic
office holders who have been abusing the
Republican party. Mr.. Cleyeland's letter to
Stone is the strongest word spoken in favor
of clean sweep We have seen for many day.
Its contention is practically that the offices
are part of the administration and that the
men who fill them must be in sympathy with
1t or at least pretend to be. That is precise
ly the claim of the friends of the Jacksonian
system. With good reason therefore, the
New York Sun, which is an outspoken advo-
cate of that system, halls the Presidents
letter with delight as virtual admission of
the soundness of the system and an an
nouncement of his intention to adopt it in
the future.

After all it was but human for President
Cleveland to back down before the Missouri
Democrats and restore Benton to his office.
He had stirred up sleeping dogs that proved
to be too much for him. Those who do not
understand the nature of the Missouri Demo-
Gratis, may be enlightened by passage from
plea made to an audience Of Benton's
friends in behalf Of the old spoils system
The orator was Judge Sherwood, and this is
how he clenched his argument in justification
Of Benton's course:
The attempt to deceive any one by any such q
plan would be as vain and futile as would be the
device of filling a jug with water, labelling it
whiskey. and then attempting, with that fiat,
stale and Improbable fluid, TO fool good, honest
Democratic stomach; and that's comparison
that know you all understand.

Genrre aEarsh,s present.

Assistant General Ticket Agent Marsh,
of the Northern Pacific road. was prancing
around Yesterday with his spirits about go
degrees above zero. He came down to the
office yesterday mroning in his shirt sleeves
and remarked to his stenographer that he
thought it was going to be mild winter.
The stenographer gave him scared look,
and wondered what he'd been drinking.
When the porter came around to polish
Marsh's shoes he dropped a silver dollar
into his hand. The portor'S hair stood on
end. and being of a superstitious nature, he
slid out into the hall and prayed to himself.
Marsh looked at his watch every i've min
utes, leaned back in his chair, piled his
feet I'D on his desk and smoked a cigar, a
thing he does only on state occasions. The
clerks cast curious looks at each other and
wondered among themselves. About 1890
O'Clock the whole matter was explained by
Marsh debating a note to his stenographer
that ran as follows:
Dear Brother-Congratulatio are now in
order Mywife presented me with splendid
present Christmas morning. 1t was boy
and tipped the beam at 81 pounds. He is in
the pink of condition, with the exception that
he is q little yell-oh around his mouth. Yours
truly, GEORGE.
Everybody laughed but the stenOgrapher.
He went out and bathed his head in coal
oil to take the inflammation out. Then
George went down into his desk and drew
forth a peck of dark brown cigars and un-
loaded them on his associates.

un,forn standard Needed.

A determined effort is being made oy tlle
.ailway companies to secure the general
acceptance OF uniform standards Ior tne
construction of their equipment. Since
ba conclusion to reduce the guage OF
Southern roads to standard there is prob
lbiIity that the exchange of freight Ild. cars ar
will be much greater than it ever was oe,
fore. The success of the movement would
enable the roads to use automatic car
couplers, and by this act many lives would
be saved each year. The freight cars now
in use represent large variety OF styles
and it would be very expensive, if not al
together impracticable, to remodel them to
a common standard. 1t would, however,
not require an excessively large outlay to
fix up the cars used in through business so
that they would be practically the same on
the various roads exchanging business. IL
appears that the profitable life If freight
car scarcely exceeds six years. hence begin
ming the work at once the change IN new
rolling stock alone would bring the desired
end in a few wears.
