How a Democrat Feels.


The policy of Mr. Cleveland is felt in every
section Of the country Those who would gladly
accept the Offices do not make application for
them, having no desire to be mortified by a
President who is rough grained and brutal. In
this city to-day, although the Democratic admin
istration is not yet year old and Republicans
continue to hold the best Offices. there are not
twenty-five Office seekers. The hotels are nearly
empty. Those who came here early in the
change have reported ut their respective homes
the obstacles which beses the Office seeker,
and decent men will not put them
selves in a position to be Insult
ed by so-called Democratic President
The few Offices which are given out are not Of
ferred by the President with any cordiality, but
are secured by deceits and wiles which are 40
horrent to the sensibities Of gentleman. The
President seems to delight in thus reducing So
called honorable men 20 mere ciphers.
The brutality of the President is only equaed
by the cowardice of the members of Congress.
These men have it in their power to vindicate
their people and themselves. They should go to
the President on their legs and not on their
bellies. The President takes delight in subjugat-
ing those who can be subjugated. but he has
tripped upon a few who talk back. For these he
has infinitely more respect than for those who
will'willingly submit to his insults.

ministration Newspaper.
New York Special.
Although il was known here that the confrma
tion of ex Governor Dorsheimer as United States
District Attorney would not be carried without
opposition, the news of his resignation while his
nomination is pending is surprise. The first
intimation of it is found in an editorial para.
graph in the Sun of this morning Ali this
lends fresh color to the report that Dorsheimer
is to devote his energies to the elevation of the
Star to the place of the administration organ.
With the Sun and the World bent on disrupting
the Cabinet, the field seems OPEN and
already Dorsheimer has begun the necessary
Improvement of the paper he controls A ten
years lease has been taken of the tall brown
stone building at the corner of Broadway and
Park Place. diagonally across from the post
Office, and the Star Office will be removed there
from Chatham street as soon as the necessary
alterations can be made.
The managing editor has been replaced by a
Western journalist. and the editorial and local
departments are to be further strengthened.
The capitalist at the back of this enterprise is
understood to be c. p. Huntington, who has
not hitherto been interested in journalism. but
who has probably reasons that seem to him suf-
ficient for making so costly and so permanent an
investment The Star, for the next few weeks,
will be watched with more attention than has
hitherto been given to it.

A Case That Looks Like Abduction, but

Which May Be an Elopement.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL Feb. 10.-Center Point, q farming
village eight miles southeast Of Brazil, is much
wrought up over strange disappearance that
looks more like abduction than an elopement,
but that may prove to be the latter. The prin-
cipals in the case are one ''Dr." e. R. Myrtle
and his step-daughter, Pearl, the latter child
twelve years Of age. The particulars are: Last
spring. Myrtle. with his family consisting of his
wife and her two daughters, the oldest Of whom
is Pearl, by former marriage. moved to Center
Point from Asherville. and engaged for Iveli-
hood in plating tableware, jewelry. ETC., the
practice of his profession not proving sufficient.
A few days ago he took Pearl in buggy to q
farmers house, two miles north of town. where
she seems to have had an engagement as an in

he informed his wife he was going to Worthing-

her that her mother was sick and that she must
return home at once. The two separated here,

disappears. They have been gone about week
and no.clew can be gained as to their where

better days, is heart-broken with sorrow and
shame. She was once citizen of indianapolis,

Eether with her tender age discredits the theory
Of an elopement, while the character of Myrtle
