"Ya-as | was wathah SURPRISED the
othah morning when "A aw literwhfwy
fellah who wites dwamas requested the
| hcnhai of an Interview with me.
Il gwanied IL, as ! am Of opinion that
il is the eminently pwopah thing TO he
gwacious to %scwihblahs especially III lhis
country.
d. His name was John Gwosvenah VIII
son-pwobably some distant welatiye OF
the Wcstminslahs-aftsh whom, as every
body knows, GwOsvenah Square in the
METROPOLIS is named. Mr.. NV Wilson
has wiiten seyerwai wOmantic plays faw
representation, and a numbah of iwag'
edies and lots Of poetwy, sufficient at any
waite 90 command my wespect.
81 want you to put yourself in a play,
my Lord said John Gwosvenah.

asl Onishment. DO YOU mean aw that
YOU are desirwous of my appearing on
lhe stage and cutting a widiculous figgah
and stwutting about the boards atlired in
Nv fwipperwy'
Nothing of the sort, my Lord, Mr..
Wilson replied, simply wish you to
appe-ah in a perfectly natuwal mannah.

feeling.
Mr.. Boutelle of Maine apparently re-
CARDS himself as the author and owner, or
at all events, the %residuary legatee, in
Congress of the sectional issue. He has
introduced a resolution calling upon the
Secretary of War for information about
the battle-f1ag order" The only OBJ
lection to such a resolution is that the
information is already accessible to every
body who will take the trouble TO look
up the flies Of any newspaper of the time
when the order was issued, and anybody
who feels the need Of patriotic eloquence
about it may ind il by referring 10 the
writings of Mr.. Murat Halstead and the
speeches of Governor Foraker and Gen
eral Fairchild. But Mr.. Boutcilc goes
further. He wishes to know not only
what persons in authority under the
United States Government 4" did about it,
but what they meant or proposed 10 do,
and "by what authority and for what
reason" they so meant or proposed ".
Y. Times.
Let MS have peace among ourselves,
fellow. Democrats, that we may present a
united front to the enemy"
1t is well. The tariff cause is safe in
the hands of the new Committee Of Ways
and Means and any bill which it shall re-
Port should run no risk Of defeat.
But the shadow Of Vandalism is over
everything. The Committee on Appro-
prialions is what it always has been, and
its chairman has ii in his power once
more to make or maj his party's pros
| poets. Personally, he has conceded moth
ing. and he is al liberty 10 take any
course his judgment dictates.
We can have 20 inkling of what that
course will be. If the Speaker knows, he
shares his knowledge with Mr.. Randall
alone Hds@. Pest,
Taken as a whole Mr.. Sherman's
speech is the regulation view alarm
and -point-wilh-pride deliverance of the
| partisan politician. Everything that the
President recommends and the Demo
| cratic party advocates is all wrong, while
| the Republican attitude on the revenue
| question is always and forever right. On
| this subject. however, Republicans are
| mo-, all disposed to accept Senator Sber-
man az an infallible guide any hore than
| they are to think that his act in funding
the bonded debt al a date so far in the
| future as TO be unavailable for payment
| for wears to come was the act OF a wise
and far-seeiDg fnancier.-PhHa Tines.
The lucid editor Of the junior Republi-
| can organ, ex-Postmaster General Hat
ton, informs US that he has "a personal
issue with George III, and political
| issue" with Mr.. Lamar. His issue with
| George is not explained, but as George is
dead it is OF minor consequence His
| issue with Mr.. Lamar, however, is that
the Secretary is ian avowed exponent of
C~alhounism."
1t may surprise Mr.. Hatton to learn
| that Mr.. Calhoun was'a fayorite of John
Quincy Adams:
Calhoun said Adams, lis a man Of
fair and candid mind, of clear and quick
understanding, of cool self possession, of
| enlarged philosophical views and Of ar
dent patriotism. He is above all sec
tional ard ~factious p%rejudices more than
any other statesman of this Union with
| whom I have ever scted.-N. Y. Herald.
The Chicago Tribune thinks that tariff
reform, for which it is battling bravely,
| will not be the only issue in the next
election. Ii says that "a late and great
issue is presented in the astonishing dis
| closures Of the Pacific Railroad Commits
SION" bringing to light the most gigan-
| tic fraud Of all the ages"
