THE PRESIDENTS CIRCULAR.
The Most Extraordinary Newspaper Con-
version on Record.

The Most Extraordinary Newspaper Con-
version on Record.
The circular Of President Cleveland,
which we print this morning, will com
mand not only the earnest attention of
the country, but It's earnest approval.
When the Enquirer threw down the
gauge of battle upon this issue it felt
sure that the President would be with
1t. It felt sure that the solemn pledges
Of the party and the solemn pledges of
himself would not be violated. 1t felt
sure that all that was necessary to bring
about Executive action was to point out
to the President the stupendOus blunder
that certain foolish Democratic Con-
gressmen were committing In following
the criminal precedent so long set by
The Republican ringsters.
Our expectations are fulfilled-grend-
ly fulfilled, The voice of the Executive
goes abroad that the people are to con-
troll in their local political conventions,
and that the Federal OfficehOlder mu 1t
keep out Of them. Every honest man
in the land, irrespective of party, will
join in grand diapasOn Of approval.
This country Is on the W y to what 1t

a Phariss sical, hypocritical, sneaking,
dishonest pretense of reform; but the
genuine article--a reform which shall
help the great multitude who have 80
long been the prey of the robbers,
which shall restore public honesty,
and result i'll our national affairs being
once more conducted upon intelligent,
economical business principles. May
Heaven continue to grant strength to
the Presidents good right arm.-[Cin-

SENATOR CoNKLING LENDS A HAND.

While Roscoe Conkling was passing
along Park Row the other day he saw an
aged Italian frantically endeavoring to
get his fruit cart under shelter during a
heavy rain storm, One wheel had caught
on the steep curbstone, and the old VEN
der had not strength enough to force the
cart up on the sidewalk. He pushed md
pulled and looked the very picture of
despair. Mr.. COnkling watched the
Italians wild efforts for a moment.
Then he shut his umbrella and rolled up
the sleeve of one arm. He seized the
hub Of the entsngled wheel, and, with a
powerful yank, landed 1t upon the side
walk, after which he put up his um-
brella and went on his way.-[New York

THE REPUBLICANS AND SALOON
MEN.

The Republican party Is hard task
master on the saloon men. 1t requires
them to pay their money, and not satis-
fl d With that 1t drives them out of the
towns and incorporated villages and
cOmpels them to do business on the out
skirts. Then, when election time
comes, the leaders of the "grsnd old
party" sake them by the collar and
march them up to the polls 3nd they are
mpelled to vote the straight Republi-
can ticket. That Is pretty rough on the
saloon men, but we suppose that they
will grin and bear it, as they have done

A Warm Place to Sleep.

Perhaps you never stopped to think that In
city like Chicago live good many people
of various sorts who ore able to enjoy no
greater comfort, no more delicious luxury,
than O warm place to Sleep Thinking the
matter over you will doubtless perceive that
anything like happiness or contentment
without O snug, warm place to sleep O. nights
is impossible. Given fine raiment, rich food,
good health wealth and all Of the pleasures,
delicacies and luxuries which money can buy
or youth and vigor can enjoy-all would be
mockery without warm place to sleep. The
prisoner in solitary confinement, the con-
demned nun in his cell, the pauper in
charity bed, the hopeless invalid on a couch
that is mover to be left save in death, Is
favored by fortune compared with him who
possesses no warm retreat at night, who has
almost forgotten what it is to sleep without
an accompanying nightmare nade up OF
cramps, chills and icy specters. If any living
mortal deserves tho pity and charity Of his
fellows it is the one whom night makes home
less, who has door after door shut in his face,
who is cast out from the habitations OF man
to shift for himself like wild beast. All
this is what policeman meant to say when
hs thus clatted at the west end of Madison
street bridge:
"What ore those chaps doing there on the
sidewalk next the flour mill? Gittin' warm.
Some of ems tramps who haint got no money,
somos newsboys and bootblacks who'd rather
spend their money goin' to the theaytres than
for lodgin's, and some's fellers in tough luck.
No matter who they bo an what brought 'cm
here, haint got the heart to drive 'em away.
You see, there's big steam boilers right under
the sidewalk there, and those CRATES arc reg lar
hot air registers. Go stand over there an SEQ
how warm it is Some of 'em sleeps therc all
night, an mighty glad Of tho chance, too
Them cold nights we had 'em piled up there
two or threo deep. When it's real cold n man
can't warm but one side O hisself ut n timo
there, but the boys took turns actin as
watchman', the watchman's duty bein' to
| turn tother fe!lcrs over every fifteen minutes,
SOS to warm the cold side. ."-ChicaSo Herald.

Two men, strangers to each other. sat side
by side in a west bound Wabash train One
of them slept, and when he awoie found that
his seat mate had gone, taking his bag, but
leaving one in its place. The conductor was
consulted and it was decided to open the re-
manning valiso to identify its owner. It was
opened and disclosed, as its only contents, an
ak with piece of broken handle in it and
n package containing $1,000 in money. No
name or address could be found to lead to the
ownership, and tho finder is holding it until
it can be claimed and he gets his own valise

New Method of Speech Recording.

A promising method Of recording and re-
producing speech is that Of NJ. Leon Esquille.
It consists in first speaking to diaphragm
having a highly polished surface, from which
4 ray Of light is reflected. The record Of this
speech is obtained by simply photographing
the ray of light upon travelling band Of
scnstized paper. After having been dcvel-
opcd, the articulation may be reproduced by
projecting tho image OF the trace by means
of ON electric arc or calcium light upon q
selcnium receiver, the we'll known apparatus
for transforming light impulses into sound
vibrations, and the speech is then heard
through the telephone connected. This
method is moro troublesome than Edison's
monograph or Bells graphaphone, but seems
likely to give better results.-Arkansaw Trav-
o1ar
