BAD CASE OF JAUNDICE.

President CLEVELAND ought to take a
vacation. He evidently needs rest and a
few weeks freedom from the malarial in
fluences of Washington. The president is
a bulky man with bilious Temperament
and long-continued residence on the Poto-
mac flats has disordered his liver In bet
ter climate. where he can preserve his nor
NAL condition of health, the pres.
ident is a cheerful sort of a man,
who looks upon the bright side OF
things. But owing to the strain on
his nervous system, caused by intense
application to work and the derangement
of his bilious constitution from absorbing
the poisonous vapors of a malarial district,
the president is unmanning himself. In
addition to losing his hea lth, he is losing his
head. An evidence of this is that he re-
Gently addressed a confidential letter to
KEPPLER, the noted Pnck libeler. The fact
that the president of the United States
should descend from his station of dignified
purity to perform such questionable Office
as writing confidential letter to Puck
is of itself calculated to excite suspi-
cion that the chief magistrate is of
of his mental base. But when he attempts
to paraphrase the language of the Psalmist
by saying that all newspapers are lIars'
it only tends to confirm the suspicion.
There is no sort of justification for this con-
duct ON the part of the president. and there

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-The recent Incl
dent in Wisconsin in which Postmaster Up
ham at Ripon, that state, refused to give
place to his successor, and emphasized his
refusal by kicking that gentleman out of
the Office, creates scarcely ripple at the
postOtfice department.. The department
frequently finds difficulty in dislodging
postmasters whose successors have been APP
pointed. Sometimes it takes months to get
them out. In small country towns the
postmaster runs the pOstoffice in his own
place of business. and If the mail carrier
and community are in sympathy with him
he can get possession of the mail and dis
tribute 1t for long time before he can be
stopped by the department. Sometimes
they try to freeze him out by cutting off his
supply Of stamps and other necessaries, but
he beats that scheme by purchasing his
stamps from some neighbOring postmaster
There have been cases in which beheaded
postmasters have thus continued themselves
in the duties of that office for nearly year
before the department had succeeded in in
stalling their successors.

KNfGHrs OFLABoR.

The New York Sun has performed good
service by writing up history OF that
powerful organization known as the Knights
OF Labor, which is destined to weld a great
influence in any future complications aris-
ing between labor and capital. The pro-
| gress of the Knights Of Labor is subject
well worth the attention Of all students of
social science. The idea of such an
association was not conceived until
in 1869. URIAH STEVENS. cloth
ing cutter in a Philadelphia estsb-
lishment is the father or the organize
ton. In 1878 the first local assembly was
organized i'm Philadelphia with URIAH
STEVENS IFS first president. It is difficult TO
realize what rapid strides the organization
has made since that time. There are now
1900 assemblies with membership Of
about 5000. 600, and the order has spread
from Hudson Bay to Mexico and is taking
rapid foothold in Europe. The organiza-
ton Of new assemblies is increasing at an
average rate of 160 month and
of a membership of about $4,000.
The organization is also making itself
a power in framing the laws of the land.
Its members are found i'm almost every leg
islature, and every year the order is grow
ing more important element i'm legislation.
Taking into consideration the wonderful
discipline of an organization when a half
million of men can be governed i'm their ac-
tons by five, we are all the more impressed
with its power. 1t is capable of welding a
mighty influence. 1t is therefore all the
more important that its powers be most
prudently exercised. AS long as it is capa-
bic of being a power for good or evil, as il
may choose, the utmost precaution should be
taken by its members that il be made
instrument for good. As long as it Is kept
within the limits of its original purpose to
dignity labor and exalt the condition of the
workingman by protecting him from the
oppression of employers. it will achieve
noble work. If it should ever have the
misfortune to pass under the guidance and
control of socialists or unprincipled agita-
tors it will become an instrument of evil.
and will invite its own destruction. 1t Is,
therefore, the duty of laboring men to en-
deavor to keep the organization within the
path Of usefulness, and thus make it the
agency whereby their own safety will be
secured as well as their dignity protected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Some congress-
men have returned from their holiday yaca-
ton, and the probability is that nearly all
will be on hand to hear the announcement
of committees when the house reassembles
next Tuesday. The session will then be-
gin in earnest. The silver question, tariff
revision, reconstruction of the navy, coast
defenses and the probability of increased
appropriations as a result of distributing
some of the work of the appropriation
committee are the chief topics now discussed
by the members in the city. The silver
question is uppermOst in their
minds, and will probably be the
hrst to come up and provoke general
discussion after the recess. Some con-
sentative members are talking of a COM
promise, but the silver men are implacable
and say there must be no legislation on the
subject. There will be several measures
soon brought to the attention of congress
proposing general tariff legislation and a
number relating to specific duties. Liberal
appropriations for coast defenSes for heavy
ordnance and for Strengthening the navy
will lind many friends in congress, who
will soon make known their friendship for
these matters.

is nothing like shadow OF excuse for Il.
unless it be owing to the causes which we
have indicated. If the president was CON-
PEELED to find an outlet for the excess Of
bile with which his system was burthened,
he ought, out of respect for the dignity OF
his state, to have selected more reputable
channel for giving it egress than
he has chosen. Nor is there any
just reason why he should have selected the
newspapers as the receptacle Of his hillary
yomit. 1t is true that in the heat of par
tisan discussion the opposition newspapers
have said good many hard things about
HIM But they have done the same toward
every candidate for the presidential Of
fee from the time of WASHINGTON down
10 the days Of BLAINE, BUTLER and
CLEVELAND. Yet nobody ever heard of
WASHINGTON or JEFFERSON or LINCOLN,
or any OF the eminent men who filed the
presidential chair, condescending to sit
down and write letter 10 a cartoon artist
10 tell him In what bad repute he held the
whole profession of journalism. We are sorry
that Mr.. CLEVELAND has placed himself
In such a Instantaneous light before the

have done it if he had been in good health.
and we offer the suggestion in all sincerity
that he at once retire TO the Adlrondacks

1t may be true that newspapers manage
to get good deal of falsehood into their
columns sometimes, but along with il they
also manage to get in any amount Of whole
some truth. And oftener than otherwise
there is more kicking in some quarters
against the truth than against the false
hoods. No journal that values its reputa-
ton will consciously admit falsehoods into
its columns and the newspapers that are in
the habit Of systematic lying will not be
put out by criticisms, even though they
come from high sources. Consequently,
the presidents splenic attack on the news
papers will accomplish no good. All he
will accomplish will be TO draw upon him
self a fire of criticism from the press that
will make him feel exceedingly uncom-
Portable.
