AN "EXPOSITORY AIMEE"
WHICH THE TRIBUNE THINKS MR. CLEVELAND
WOULD DO WELL TO ISSUE IN THE BENTON
STONE CASE.

WOULD DO WELL TO ISSUE IN THE BENTON
STONE CASE.
From the New York Tribune, Nov. 20
In view of the fact that the fatted calf
has Just been killed for the delectation of
the Hon NJ e. Benton, prodigal son of
Missouri, and that said Hon NJ. f. Benton
has been cordially invited TO draw up to the
table and help himself TO the veal; and in
view of the antthetical fact that one Stone,
prodigal son of Pennsylvania, has been ban
ished to the outer darkness and bitter cold,
| have thought it wise to publish this ex
planatory statement for the guidance Of
other Federal ollice-holders who would fain
have their official days to be long in the
land. A wicked and adulterous generation
asserts that in my contrasted treatment of
the Hon. NJ. E. Benton and one Stone |
have been guilty Of gross and indefensible
inconsistency / do not propose to answer
such criticism. | merely remark in general
terms that any person who is laboring un-
der the impression that | know so little
about live stock as not to realize that it does
make difference whose OK is gored, treats
me and my administration with signal in
Justice. The record shows that the Hon.
NJ +. Benton was guilty of large number
of acts of pernicious activity, but then he
record also shows that this fellow Stone was
guilty of very few acts of the same sort,
but then he was Republican and | refused
to pardon him This is what | know about
differentiation as applied to the practical
| goring of the contemporaneous American
| OK. Pernicious activity Of the sort that
| brings grist to me and this administration
| deeply dstresses me-still it will be winked
at But the other sort Of pernicious activi-
| ty | will never, no never, condone so long
| ms am an earnest civil service refOrmer.
! 1t will be observed that in my letter declin-
| ing 10 reinstate Stone in effect ! insisted
| that retention of Republicans in the Federal
service is to be conditioned upon their eth
er actively supporting party in which they
do not believe or else in going about with u
large self-adjusting gag in their respective
mouths. That obviously is the way TO take
the offices ont Of politics-not out of politics
absolutely, but out of Republican politics
fatter myself that | proved in my letter
TO the Hon NJ +. Benton that | was not
over anxious to have the offices taken Out
of Democratic politics. OF course if | really
believed that public Office was a public
trust would hold that Republican ofiicia
had as much right to give frank expression
to his political sentiments as a Democrats
official. What | do hold, and my letter Il
Stone is clear on this point is that IA FEEDER
al office is a Cleveland trust All Fedora
officials who would avoid the headsman vii
see the prudence of shaping their conduc
in accordance with these views.

A MUCH LOST COUPLE.
A Newly Welded Pair Travel on the
Wrong Trains.

Some days ago, after wedding in this city,
the happy groom with his blushing bride en-
tered the Boston and Maine depot in time for
went to look after the baggage, the best man
took charge Of the BRIDE The husband had
not returned, when the cry of "All
aboard for Boston" alarmed the best man
and he hurried the bride into car on the
1910 train on the Western division. The
train had hardly got on its way before very
excited bridegroom told the story to one of the
railroad officials. He said he had intend
ed to take the one oclock train on the East
ern division and had it not been for the ex-
element of the best man everything would
have been lovely. The disconsolate hus-
band was told that by taking the Eastern di-
vision train he would meet the train with his
wife aboad at North Berwick. He accord
ingly followed the bride on the one o'clock
train.
At five minutes past three the bride ap-
peared at the station without her husband.
She had boarded way train and returned
to Portland The lady was told that her
best plan would be to stay where she was
and wait until her husband returned
to find her. She failed to take this advice
however, and started in pursuit of the
groom. But the groom was hunting for the
bride and the five o'clock train brought him
back to Portland. He was told of his wife's
journeyings up and down the line and made
a fresh start for Boston on the six o'clock
train. Whether the couple finally met or
whether they are still flying back and forth
each trying to find the other is not known.

Brooks. the Suicide,

The William F. Brooks mentioned III our
Geographic columns Saturday as having shot
himself in Boston, Friday afternoon, was a
draughtsman by profession, and solicited or
ders for Autographs of Peaks Island the past
summer. He was unmarried and was %
years old, and hailed from Fall River. He
had been short time in the employ .of Geo.
H. Walker & Co., 100 fremont street, Boston,
as salesman. There were two letters found
in his room, one of which was from Brock
ton lawyer on business matter, showing
that the deceased was intending to purchase
astore in Boston, the other was to a lady
and its tenor was of deep remorse. 1t would
seem that he had neglected to follow her
good advice and instead had pursued course
which he deeply regretted.
A despatch from Brockton, Mass, to the
Boston Globe, says that Brooks had formed
an attachment for lady in this city, whose
husband wanted to shoot him here last win
ter. 1t was to her the latter he wrote before
committing suicide was directed. An attempt
was made to interview the lady in question
Saturday evening, but she had left the city
on visit. 1t was learned, however, that she
received telegram Saturday announcing his
death and replied to it. Her friends say she
could not account for his suicide, save that
his fondness for betting had involved him in
trouble She advised him not to bet ON base
ball games. His note to her read:-"Dear
Nellie-If had done as you advised, would
not have been where 1 am tonight" This
tends to strengthen the rumor heard Saturday
night that he had lost $500 on a recent game
of ball
