White House AUTOGRAPH Hunters.

Every day the visitor at the White
House may see pile of letters upon the
desk of one of the private secretaries with
the abbreviation ''auto" written upon
each envelope. It means that they con-
tain requests for autographs Thousands
of these letters are received at the White
House in year.
Those that come now contain not only
request for the Presidents autograph,
but some of them for that of his bride.
The latter requests are seldom complied
with, for, while the President has
thought it proper to yield to the demand
for accurate portraits of Mrs. Cleveland
and has consented to their sale under
certain restrictions, it has not been
thought advisable to encourage the pub
lie in miscellaneous demand for auto
graphs. The President continues, how
ever, to give few minutes occasionally
to gratifying the requests Of the many
applicants for this class of favors.
Charles Letter, the Presidents usher, is
the autograph hunters friend. The let
tiers are turned over to him, and when
he can catch the President with mo
ment of time TO spare he lays bundle of
cards before him, and he writes 'Grover
Cleveland, Grover Cleveland, Grover
Cleveland, until his arm gets tired or
his other and more important duties
take his attention Then Charles takes
the precious autographs and distributes
them by mail to the applicants. Often
there are personal applications by the
owners of autograph albums, and they
are generally directed to leave them with
Charley, who presents them at the same
time he does the cards for the Presidents
sign manual. Washington Letter.

The Mormons claim that, in the face
of their constant denunciation by Cen
tiles and Gentle publications, they are
steadily gaining in numbers and strength,
and that no power on earth can destroy
their religion or their organization. 1t
1t is impossible, says the New York Com
t'erciat Adrertiser, to depend on anything
that their leaders say--they do not pre-
lend to keep faith with heretics-and
their followers are SO ignorant and cred
alous that their opinions on any subject
Ire worthless. But there are external
reasons for believing part of the truth of
their statement. Their doctrines, po-
lygamy especially, are so repulsive to
Americans in general that it is perfectly
natural for us to think the latter day
saints are doomed to carly extinction.
But we should remember that the mass
of them are Europeans of the lowest
grade of intelligence, and that they are
regularly recruited by shrewd, energetic
missionaries in many parts Of Great
Britain, Denmark, Scandinavia and
North Germany. They describe Utah
in the brightest colors, as an earthly
paradise, and it is not strange that the
toiling poor are caught by the allure
ments held out to them. Nobody who
has not visited Salt Lake City and
studied Mormondom on its own ground
can have any clear understanding of the
foundation on which it rests, and the
means by which it is sustained. Its agj
ricultural and industrial position GER
tainly looks prosperous; but the men,
tally of the people is disheartening.
Mormon women have none of the attrac-
tons Of their sex. No man of normal
pattern could be terrorized into accept.
ing enc Of them; and he readily believes,
from his acquaintance with masculine
nature, that polygamy there must be the
rare exception. The saints have No
growth from within, and recruiting must
come to an end. 1t may not be in ten,

decay and extinction are only question
Of time. He who builds on ignorance
and superstition rears a structure thai

n...+ was the amazement Of all En-
Gland when, at the close Of the last cen
turv. william Murdoch discovered I'm .ne
use Of combustible air or gas. 30 lit'ie
was the invention understood and De-
lieyed in by those who had not seen IL ~
use. that even great and wise men
laughed at the idea.
sHow could there be light without
wick9n said a member OF parliament
when the subject was brought before the
House. Even Sir Humphrey Davy rial
culed the idea Of lighting towns BY gas
and asked one of the proprietors II they
meant to take the dome of st. PauPs Tor
gas meter. Sir Walter Scott, too, made
himself merry over the idea OF illuml-
mating London by smoke, though he was
glad enough, not so long after, to make
his own house at Abbotsford light and
cheerful on winter nights by the use OF
that very smoke.
zWhen the House of Commons was
lighted by gas the architect imagined
that the gas ran on fire through the pipes
and therefore he insisted on their being
placed several inches from the wall for
fear of the building taking fire. The
members might be observed carefully
touching the pipes with their gloved
hands, and wondering why they did moi
feel warm.
The first shop lighted in London BY
the new method was Mr.. Askerman's'
on the Strand, in 1910; and one lady o.
rank was so delighted with the brillianc!
of the gas lamp on the counter that sh'
asked to be allowed to take it home IL

MR.. DOUGLASS SCHEME

1t is reported that Hon. Fred. Doug

people from the Southern States to the
far West. We long respected and ad-

THE BALLOT AND MIR. ROWLAND.

The first two issues of the Ballot were
clamorous for Mr.. Rowland to inform
the public how he stood on the whiskey
question, charging at the same time that
he had been closeted with whiskey men
in this city. 1t said the people had a
right to know the position of the man
they were called upon to vote for. That
Mr.. Rowland should tell the people
whether he was for or against prohibi-
ton. We do not here question the wis
dom of that demand upon Mr.. Rowland
by the Ballot, but we think if the Ballot
means to tote fair" it will give to the
public Mr.. Rowland's card or answer to
the demands, The Ballot says this week,
Mr.. Rowland has answered and it is
satisfied with his answer Now if the
Ballot is satisfied, there may be many
others among the voters of the district
who are not satfed. We all want TO
know how Mr.. Rowland stands on pro-
hibition. Will the Ballot tell the 1e1ple.

For the negro to keep pace with other
races he must be educated up to indus
try, economy, morality and the proper
training of their children, &c. To do
this they need more intelligent men and
women of our race among us. Let Mr.
Douglass take his family and come in
the South among us and advise his
Washington city friends to do the same,
and he will find himself in better posi-
ton to help this poor debased race. If
he can't stand the South, then let us see
his sincerity by the moving of his own
family and city people to the West.
We admit the chances for any man are
better in the West than here, provided a
man has money and intelligence enough
to lookout for himself, but the negro in
the South Is in no condition to move.
Thousands of them have made good
starts, have comfortable little homes,
farms, stock, &c. These should not be
broken up from their pleasant homes.
Let every man go where he pleases, but
we are opposed to packing people up
and sending them off to strange coun.
tries by hundreds. Let every man take
his own family and his own money and
go as he pleases, but when people are
transported as cattle they may expect
the treatment of cattle.
