a SOCIAL LEADER.
The Young Lady of Albany to Whom thu
President Is Said to BE Engaged.

The Young Lady of Albany to Whom the
President Is Said to BE Engaged.
The story comes from Albany that
President Cleveland is engaged to mar,
ry Miss Van Vechten, young lady
who may justly lay claim to being the
social leader of the capital of New
York. The lady is tall and most beau
tiful in face and figure and she has
many charms and graces of manner
The circle in which she moves is one of
the most exclusive in the United States.l
The high society of Albany is unques-
ionably the most difficult to penetrate
of any in the country and Miss Van
Vechten is it's central star. She lives
in splendid house that is situated di-
rectly across the street from the Execu-
tive Mansion, where Mr.. Cleveland,
when he was in Office, could without
difficulty have looked into Miss Van
Vechten's window. The lady has q
rich complexion, dark eyes and a
wealth of waving brown hair. There
is quite striking resemblance between
her and Miss Jennie Chamberlain, the
beautiful Cleveland girl, whose per-
sonal attractiveness has been the talk
of Europe for year or two back
When Mr. Cleveland was Governor of
New York State, he frequently met
Miss Van Vechten at the various re-
ceptions which occurred at the Execu-
tive Mansion and elsewhere in Albany
and he exhibited marked preference
for her society. 1t is, indeed, said that
he took every possible occasion to be
at her side, and it is now noticed that
she is spending a great deal of her
time in Washington, where few, If any,
of the social gatherings of which the
President is feature are allowed to go
by without her presence.-Bosto,a Her.

IT'S NEXT EXECUTIVE.
The DifRculties In tho Way Of EstablishS
ting Justice In tho Territory of Utah.

The Dimculties In the way Of EstablishS
ting Justice In the Territory of Utah.
It seems to oe taken for granted THAI
President Cleveland is going to select
as successor to Governor Murray, Of
Utah, some citizen of the Territory
itself. This expectation is based not
only on the declarations of the plat
form of 1884, but on the belief that no
outsider could be found who would
have the courage to stand up against
the stream of abuse and misrepresenta-
ton which the Mormon leaders are
wont to heap upon the Gentle Cover
nors who endeavor to enforce the
United States laws among them. It is
for this reason no doubt that many
would be unwilling to accept an ex-
ecutive position involving so much Bit
ter opposition from the great majority
of the community in which authority
was to be exercised. On the other
hand, much may be urged in favor of
the appointment of an outsider in this
instance, for it is evident that if the
President is to be thus limited in his,
choice he may be unable to find per-
son who will administer the affairs of
the Territory in just and impartial
spirit. The lines of antagonism are
very sharply defined, and every Gentle
who is not bitter and uncompromis-
ing foe of Mormonism is in some de-
gree susceptible to its influences.
Should the selection be made from
either of these classes, the interests of
good government might not be sub
served. There would either be indis-
criminate oppression or government
that would find favor with the Polyg-
amists.
1t is almost needless to say that the
| evil against which the laws of the
| United States are directed is not Nor
monism itself as religious creed, but
polygamy, which is crime. A man
| is not to be oppressed because of his
| religious belief in a country which pro-
claims absolute freedom to all creeds
and sects. But if he commits a crime
he must certainly be held amenable to
the law. This is distinction not al
ways kept clearly in mind. Territorial
officers imbued with an indiscriminat-
ing prejudice are certainly not quail
fled to administer the law properly,
and the result must be that the present
disturbances would only be augmented.
On the other hand, lax administra-
ton would only foster the evil which
| it is the duty of the Government to root
out. Under these circumstances the
President may find it necessary to
nominate some nonresident who is
known to be man at once firm, fear
less and dispassionate.- 7. Grdphsc.

A PRETTY STORY.
The Bell of Justice and the Queer Pc
titioner for Aid.

Ihe Bell OF Justice anu TIE queer re-
titioner for Aid.
1t is a beautiful story that in one of
the cities of Italy the King caused a bell
to be hung in tower in one of the
public squares, and called it the "bell
of JUSTICE and commanded that any
one who had been wronged should 90 and
ring the bell, and so call the magistrate
of the city, and ask and receive justice.
Aud. when, in the course of time, the
lower end of the bell-rope rotted away,
a wild vine was tied to it to lengthen it;
and one day an old and starving horse
that had been abandoned by it's owner
and turned out to die, wandered into
the tower, and trying to eat the vine
rang the bell. And the magistrate of
the city, coming to see who had rung
the bell, found this old and starving
horse; and he caused the owner Of
the horse, in whose service he had
toiled and been worn out, to be sum-
moned before him, and decreed that
as his poor horse had rung the bell of
justice, he should have justice, and that
during the remainder of the horses life
his owner should provide for him
proper food and drink and stable.-EG-
