A STORY ON ENDICOTT.
A Real Estate Transaction which Afford
ed Amusement at the Capital.
FroDa the C5ic1g0 Netos.

FroDa the C5ic10O Netos.
WASHINGTON, Notwithstanding Endicotts
friends are pokng good deal Of fun at him
which eventually causes him a good deal Of
annoyance. 1t grows ont of a real estate
trans action, which came about in this way:
Adjoining the secretary's handsome residence
is a corner lot with a narrow frontage Of
Is feet and depth Of 100. The lot is too SINS all
for building purposes aud the owner has
vainly endeavored tn have the secretary take
1t of his hands al a valuation of 50 so a square
foot, Mr.. Endlcott, however would only
agree to pay 81 foot. although good building
lots in that vicinity really commend SO so a d
"a square foot. Last week the owner ad
vertiset the lot for sale. There were only a
few persons in attendance. one Of whom was
the secretary. To the latter's surprise the
drsr offer was 81 so foot. The bidder was a
colOred man, q well-known hack driver Of
some means. The secretary. not to be out
done, raised the price until it finally reached
"Look herep' said Mr.. Endicott, turning to
the negro, what do you want of this property?
You're bidding it up out of all proportion to
its value"
"Well, I'll tell you, boss" said the man and
brother, sinking his voice to a confidential
whisper, my wife is powerful aristocr9tc
colored lady. Since began to accumulate
money she's very anxious to get into good so
ciety, and she thought if we'd move IN here
among you rich white folks it'd help her
amazingly. Pm buNin the lot on her a.
touuhs III RWiub 10 put uD u mousse on IL anu
entertain il high STYLE"
AS the negro proceeded the Secretary's face
grew pale with anger.
''Do you suppose I'll have lot of crazy mig
gers registering all night alongside Of my
house? Not by id sight" and he raised
the price to 81 on the next call.
That's too rich for my hood" shouted the
negro, with laugh, as he withdrew from the
contest. The lot was accordingly knocked
down to the secretary az $4,000, for which he
Immediately drew his check. As he stepped
around the corner TO enter his carriage he
espied the late owner Of the lot and the negro
IN whispered consultation. aud these were
the words which greeted his ears
You did that very cleverly, Mose," said
bills. THAT little speech about society cost
the old duffer clear thousand extra. There's
800 for your trouble :"
AS the secretary drove sadly down street
his mind was oppressed with the painful
thought that in come way he had been the
victim of an ingenious sell.

The Next House.

A good many Democratic congressman
seem to have forgotten that the Congress
sional elections occur next fall. They 40
not seem to realize that the Repub leans
are making an extraordinary effort TO get
control of the next House. Not only are
they absent from their posts OF duty
much oftener than they ought to be, but
they have forgotten, apparently, that tue
Democratic party is pledged to an eco
nomcal administration OF the govern
ment.
/ Representative Holman says that this
Congress shows about as great a desire
to increase appropriations as ever "a Re-
publican Congress exhibited. There has
been no decrease in the cost Of administer
ing the government. On the contrary,
with the exception of the post office APP
preparation bill proper, there has been an
increase in all the appropriations over
those made at the last session of last
Congress. In the appropriation bills
which have already passed the House the
aggregate Increase is about $23,000,000.
OF course the Republicans do not
preach or practice economy. They never
did. And now when no responsibility
rests upon them they seem to be anxious
to swell the appropriations to as great an
amount as possible. They, together with
reckless and unthinking Democrats, are
able to lead the House into becoming re-
sponsibe for all sorts of eXtravagancies.
Frankness compels the admission that
the Democratic House has not yet made
a record that will help the Democratic
party much in the fall elections. Moth
ing has vet been done towards reforming
the tariff, and there does not appear to be
any prospect of reforms in the line of
economy.
II the President had the power to veto
items n appropriation bills, it is certain
that be would use his veto power pretty
freely. He is ambitious that his admin
istratlon shall be regarded as an economi
cal one. The probabilities are, however,
that this cOmmendable ambition of his
will not be satisfied.
He has done what he could to carry out
the pledges which are to be found in the
Democratic national platform. His rec
concentrations and his acts, so far as they
have had any bearing upon the character
of the government, have all been in the
line of reform.
II the Democrats should meet with de-
feats at the fall elections attempts will De
made, doubtless, to throw the RESPONSE
bility for them on the Presidents civil ser
vice policy. There may be some who
will believe that the fault Is his, but those
who are accustomed to see things as they
are will not be slow in placing the re-
spOnsibility where it belongs. If every
Democratic member of Congress were to
do his duty as cOnscientlously as the
President does his, and were to
strive as hard as he does
to fulfill the party's PLEDGES the control
of the next House would remain with the
Democrats beyond the shadow Of doubt.
While it is probable that the Democrats
will win the next House Notwithstanding
their mistakes, they will not win it with
ease nor by an increased majority. as
they might have done had they kept more
clearly in mind the pledges OF the national
campaign.

Fortunately the great body OF the Ameri
can people are little moved BY the cOntortiOns
OF the tariff warriors. They have confidence
IN the patriotism OF Secretary Bayard. and in
the moderation and irmness Of the President
and Congress. They have perhaps equal con-
hdence in the fairness of the English govern
ment. They know that two of the greatest
nations on earth. having no private animosi-
ties or latent grudEes to satisfy, are in no
danger of coming into conflict over a barrel
of fish bait and duty on cod.

DEATH OF MISS MINNIE SMITH.

Miss Minnie Smith, one of Mankato's
brightest and lovliest young ladies' died
Tuesday evening after an illness of less
than one week. The immediate cause
of her death was inflammation of the
bowels, and for two davs previous Ia her
demise all hope of her recovery had
been dispaired of.
The death of Minnie was not only q
terrible blow TO her aged parents, Mr..
and Mrs. John Smith, her brother y. ID.
and sister Tide, but il was also source
of deep grief to all who knew her. No
one held her acquaintance but to love
her. She was possessed of II sweet DIS
position and sympathetic nature. High
ly educated and accomplished, she was
an ornament Ia society and Al genial
companion among her host of young
friends. When one comes To write OF
the sudden cutting off of 10 bright Il
flower, as was this yOnng lady, whose
past was so pure and whose future prom
Used 10 much, language fails to express
the deep SORROW that fills the heart, and
only silent tears can give vent TO the
grief within.
Minnie spent week before last ut Lake
Madison with II party of young lady
| friends. She was taken i'll while there
and brought home. All that medical
aid and kind mlnisirations could do u
relieve her proved of no avail. lei
Maker called her To that eternal home
of rest.
| Funeral services were held Mt the
family residence yesterday morning and
the large attendance, especially ofyounl
people, showed the depth of sorrow fell
at her demise.
