A Funny Petition.

Washington Special.
A funny petition was presented to the House
yesterday by Representative Hall, of Iowa 1t
was written by one of his constituents, who
wants Congress to appropriate money enough to
pay his fare West. He says II am a Western
man and have a family including two sons-Earl,
aged sixteen, and Dean, aged five years. am
aged forty FIVE, and am lame man, having to
use crutches, having had my lower limbs
mashed by log when I was five years
old. Our daughter, Viola, is aged eighteen,
and. allow me to say sir, is very smart
Ny wife and L think q change of climate
would be beneficial to our health, which
has not been very good for year or
two. We wish to 60 West and am not finan-
cially able We own house here in Selma, but
I am some in debt. having had sickness in the
family. | am a public lecturer, and wish to
pay that with revolutionary grandsire who
suffered at Valley Forge and stained the field of
Monmouth with his gore; with veteran pioneer
father, who voted first for President Monroe and
last for President Tilden, with my only brother
slain in g. and with my heart filled with loyal
devotion to constitutional liberty Yet,
since 81 / have suffered nearly all the persecu
tions that Democratic flesh is heir to under the
cruel rule of Republican administration. l very
respectfully ask your honorable body to appro
pirate $1,000 to enable me to remove
West and secure permanent homes for
myself and family on the public lands; basng
my petition on the peculiar circumstances of my
unfortunate condition and upon the broad prin-
ciples of humanity and justice because an in
justice was inflicted upon me and my father in
6l-1S65, when my father was thrust from his
official position POSTMASTER at Beneta, Clark
county, Missouri and / was his Deputy, driven
from home property confiscated and reduced to
poverty Why? Because he and my brother
boldly maintained the supremacy of the civil
over the military rule"
The petitioner alleges that it would be better
to move him out West where he could make a
home on the public domain; than to retain him
.in the crowded centers of population" He
proposes to give bond for the execution of his
''avowed designs of removing and locating" He
signs himself ''R A. Schellhaus."

American and Canadian Fishermen.

six American fishermen entered Dygby basin,
ostensibly for bait Their captains and crews
we're on shore during the evening, and they say
that the Bay of Fundy is crowded with United
after bait, and can do nothing unless they can
get bait here. They have done nothing at ali
so far this season and they intend to run all
risks They are not the owners OF the vessels.
They expressed a wish to be seized, as well as
the Adams, as they only care to bring about an
ISSUE so that the government will do something.
They admit that unless they have the privilege
of procuring bait they must give up fishing for
living Commodore Scott, before leaving for St
Johns IN the Lansdowne, ordered the other fish
ermen in the basin to put to ssa.

forms. Many of them came in newspaper wrap
pers marked with big blue or black pencil,
while others of them came In envelopes, ana
some of them contained bits OF comment.
It is no wonder that the President became
considerably Disguised. He has refused to read
any more gossip about his engagement 10 MISS
Folsom, and is worried that SO much is being
said. Washington gossips have taken up tue
interviews and remarks made by the Folsom ram
lily in reference to the engagement, and are treat
ing the lady's family to a considerable amount
of severe criticism. Some people go 80 far as
to say that the Folsoms are determined TO make
the engagement sure, and to bring about the
marriage as soon as possible by keeping awe
the talk which has appeared In every part 0! Tue
country and across the Atlantic. Everybody
believes that tho Fosoms are in ecstacies over
the approaching marriage, and everyone JOINS
in the expression that this talk they are IN
dulging in is in very bad taste.
Most of the people who have gone so far as to
indulge in dates regarding the approaching mar
riage have fixed upon the second week In June
1t has been limited, however, that the PRESIDENT
desires to cut off this embarrassing comment
and is arranging to have the marriage occur
sooner than the time mentioned. 1t was re-
ported here to-day that Miss Folsom had cabled
that she would leave Paris next week. This
with the statement that the President desires to
cut short his embarrassment, makes the predlc-
ton of gentleman closely connected with the
chief executve-that the nuptial knot Will be

The prediction made in these dispatches a
week ago that the President intended to spend
his honeymoon in the executives cottage at the
Soldiers National Home. Immediately north OF
this city, is accepted as fact and arrangements
are being made to carry it out at the Home. 1t
is true that the wedding is to be strictly private,
and that public reception will follow. Only a
few of the immediate members of the two faml-
lies are to be present, and the marriage is to
take place in the White Heuse When
the report was started that the President
was to be married, and for three
or four weeks afterward very great interest
was evinced in it by the citizens here, but 80
much has been said. especially by the Folsom
family, that the people tired of it, and it is
not frequently that one hears anything about it
now. When the time approaches for the royal
wedding it is likely that interest will have died
out. and the ceremoney that shall make Grover
Cleveland and frankie Folsom man and wife
will attract no more attention than that which
joins together people in upper society.

PRESIDENTIAL sLATE-MAKERS.

Prospective Boom for Senator John Sher-
man and Hon. Levi p. Morton.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON May 6-A good deal Of quiet
talk is being INDUCED il about the probable can
didates for President and Vice-president on
the Republican ticket in 1888. One
hears the names of Logan, Harrison, Sher-
man, Morton and Evarts mostly mentioned when
Mr.. Blaine is not spoken of. There is no deny
ing the fact that Mr.. Blaine stands very promi-
nently in the foreground. and that his friends,
if not himself. continue to keep up
the boom for him, and they demand
denomination. It is believed by
very many men who figure prominently in nomi-
mating conventions, that very formidable oppo-
sition to the denomination of Mr. Blaine will
take shape before the end OF the impending cam
paign, and that quite fight inside of the party
will arise. The stalwart Republicans continue
to demand that Mr. Blaine shall not be re-nomi-
mated. They say that the mugwumps and the
other dissatisfied elements will vote against him
as they did in 1884, if he is again before the
country
Some one has been making up a slate here
during the past three or four weeks and has
been putting it into shape for a boom. 1t is
hardly probable that the gentlemen whose names
will figure in this slate have anything to do
with its origin, yet it is known that it will take
very formidable shape within the next few weeks
and will become the strongest opposition to that
of the Maine men who speaking right out for
Mr.. Blaine a candidate This slate ID as fol-
lows: For President John Sherman. of Ohio; for
Vicepresident Levi P. Morton, of New York. 1t
is argued by the men who are advocating
this slate that Mr.. Sherman is the
strongest man East, West and South
that can be put on the ticket, that ne is as
strong in New York as he is in Ohio; as strong in
Louisiana. Florida and other doubtful States
South, as he is in Indiana Illinois. and other
States where his strength has been tested here
tofore They say that Levi P. Morton will guar
antee New York. and that he will solidify the
entire ranks 1t is stated, further, that Mr.
Morton is willing to accept second place on a
ticket with Sherman, and that the latter has
told those of his friends who mentioned this
scheme to him that it was entirely satisfactory
to him. This is the first slate and it is simply
given for what it may be worth.

David Davis Recovering.

BLOOMINGTON. H., May FIX Vice president
David Davis's physician says that the crisis in
his sickness was safely passed. and that the
patient would soon recover. The virulent car
buncle from which he has been suffering seems
to have reached its climax and the pain has dis
appeared.

time he has been more or less completely vindi-
Gated. General Hazen is fortunate in having
strong friends in both political parties, who come
to his rescue at every call. He is no less for
tunate in having some reckless enemies, who are
constantly making ill-advised assaults upon him.
In the last investigation of his Office some of his
most vehement accusers presented nothing to
substantiate their charges and General Hazen
scored another "vindication"
But despite this fact it is undoubtedly true
that the efficiency and dignity of the service
would be promoted by change of management.
AS long as General Hazen remains at its head
there will be no end of quarrels and scandals.
He is disliked by almost his entire force. he is
accused of being il-tempered, dogmatic and
suspicious. There is in his bureau little of that
cordial cooperation which is essential to the best
results, and none of that esprit du corps which
is the source of comfort and enthusiasm. In
department where so much depends on the close
and earnest devotion of all the officials this con-
diton of affairs is especially unfortunate. There
are doubtless other fields where General Hazen's
talents could be more usefully employed.
