MR.. MANNING TO RETIRE.
Els Relations with the President Said to Be
Not Politically Satisfactory

Not Politically Satisfactory.
Albany Special to New York World.
Among the best.informcd politicians here, it
has been known for long time that Secretary
Manning has been using every honorable means
for six months to retire from the Cabinet To
his most intimate friends the Secretary has
made complaint that instead of finding the
Treasury Department a field for great executive
work. it has proven to be for him simply cleri-
cal position, whose most important and trying
exaction was the signing of his own name. A
six months trial of the irk, me and annoying
place convinced the Secretary that his sphere OF
usefulness was circumscribed. AID that the Pres
ident was determined to follow Andrew Jack
sons policy and reduce his Cabinet officers to the
level of mere clerks
One of Mr.. Manning's most intimate friends
said this evening: Mr.. Manning will retire
from the Cabinet on Oct /. whether his health

ment that an average employer seldom bestows
upon a clerk. Mr.. Manning went into the
Cabinet against his own judgment Mr.. Cleve-
Mr.. Tilden ordered him to do so. would Mr..
Manning have accepted the position had it
not been at Mr.. Tilden's request. We have
known from the first that Mr. Manning has had
no influence with President Cleveland. In
truth. Secretary Manning has been forced to ex-
plain TO his friends who had wanted favors done
that he was tired asking the President to render
some service to his party. Within month have
seen letter conveying this impression. We in
Albany who know the two men we'll have not
forgotten Mr.. Manning's indignation towards
Mr. Cleveland when the latter, as Governor,
signed the bill abaishing the State paper. and
his outburst at the Saratoga convention that
nominated delegates to the national convention.
Mr.. Manning's policy from the first has
been to reward party men, but
| every approach towards tho Presi-
dent on that head has been met with
GOODNESS, encouragement and positive indiffer-
ence. That the two men publicly have concealed
the disagreements between them on public or
party policy is due more to maintaining har
mony in the party. Had Mr.. Manning's advice
been followed the Democratic party would be
more strongly intrenched in the public Offices
and incidentally strengthened and soldlfed."

HE has very handsome home here, and will
return to the editorship of the Argus, which is
far more congenial TO his taste than conducting

one thing for him to dc, retire"

Bpecial to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July Lit begins to look as if
President Cleveland is opening up fight for
himself in his vetoes on the pension bills. In
nearly every instance in which he has written
veto message he has shown disposition to make
the claimant appear ridiculous and even criminal
In the eyes Of the people. His vetoes have called
forth severe protests from Grand Army lodges
In several instances and while the Grand Army
men would not be more DESTROYS than any one
else that fraudulent claimants should be granted
pensions, they are very much worked up over the
fact that the President has fit to impugn
the motives Of several men whom they know to
be in every way worthy. In one OF his veto
messages the President sneers at the idea that
the sight Of the claimant could have been infect
ed as result of chronic diarrhea, and for this
reason he has declined to sign the
bill for the mans relief. Notwithstanding
this fact, some of the most competent and able
physicians in the country have sworn that the
msns sight was lost from nervous exhaustion
brought on by his debilitated condition from
chronic diarrhea, and that the optic nerve mas

ness in the near future. In similar case, which
was rejected by the Pension Office, because some
Of the 81 200 examining surgeons had not studied
cause and effect sufficiently to convince them
that such thing could be, an appeal was taken
10 the Secretary of the Interior, and he sustained
the claim and allowed the pension. The trouble
is that Commissioner Black and President
Cleveland depend altogether, or almost wholly,
upon the opinions of the Pension Office
neutrality-suspicious. Many OF these men are COM
pelled to accept position at nominal salary 10

rot been sufficiently developed to warrant them

There are several young men who are Pension
Office surgeons who six or seven years ago
earned their living as laborers upon farms. After
q two or three years course in medical college
they were graduated and appointed to positions as
examining surgeons in the Pension Office Upon
the judgment of these young men, with good in
tentions but little experience, the President has
vetoed pension bills without going any further
into the subject These facts are liable TO come
ont insstrong light in the discussions which are
pertain to follow during the coming weeks.

Cullom in regard to the Hennepin canal
measure now before the senate:
UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON,
d. c., June 24-Dear Dement,: We have
succeeded in getting an appropriation of
$500 900 for the Hennepin canal and a
provision for the acceptance of the old
canal into the river and harbOr bill But
the committee has struck out of my
amendment the provision for feeder. to
be of certain dimensions to be construct,
ed from Rock river. starting at Dixon,
etc, and instead provide that the whole
question of feeder shall be left to the
where he pleases, ETC.. | write this that
you may know the situation in advance

that the fact is still true that the only
proper level for feeder on Rock river is
to be found at that point, and the canal
cannot be built without feeder some

As to postures and gestures on the stage,
where many of cur bellies really get instruc-
tions, few of my readers ean have any idea
how exactly prearranged they must be in
order to escape awkwardness and confu
sion. Nothing in dramatic mimicrv is
more apt to drop from sublImity to ridlcule
than lovers embraces; and yet those att,
tudes are the lkeliest to be unpi epared on
the first representation of a play. The
reason is that at rehearsals the actor and
actress concerned in the make believe en-
dearment are inclined to be shy of it, OF a.
least the woman is prone to avoid realistic
practice; and so the scene is often spoile
before the initial audience by an instant of
hesitancy, humping of bodies, or an I'M
graceful juxtapcsition.
