Take Care of the pepositors.

There are reasons for thinking that great
many of those who are interested in the bill
which provides for paying the depositors of
the wrecked Freedman's Bank never had a
dollar deposited in that bank. They are
claim agents who expect to collect the
claims for the depositors, and persons who
own claims which they purchased from
depositors at a very small per cent. of
their face value. Some of the
Senators seem to suspect that
the bill is nothing more than a scheme by
which a lot of shrewd SPECTATORS propose
to fill their pockets. 1t was quite freely
stated several years ago that very large
number of the depositors had disposed of
their claims for mere trifie because they
never expected to get anything for them
from the government. Those who pur-
chased them did not, of course, expect that
the government would pay them very soon,
but they were quite certain that it would
pay them within time that would make
the purchase of them a good speculation.
1t would be interesting to know who are
the ones who are urging the passage of the
pending bill. Are the colored depositors
sending petitions to Congress in favor of ita
Have they sent delegation to Washington
to urge its passage? Would it not be well
for Congress to find out whether or not the
depositors or their families now own any
considerable percentage of the claims!
The bill reported by the Finance Commit
tee provides that the money shall be paid to
the depositors or their legal representatives.
Ii the bill becomes law it will doubtless
appear that about all the claims have been
assigned to spectators, and they will figure
as the legal representatives of the deposit
ors.
If Congress intends to indemnify the col
orsd people who were swindled out of their
hard earnings by those who were intrusted
with the direction of the Freedmans Bank,
let it word the bill so they will get their
money. In its present shape it may be little
less than an instrument for enriching a lot
of men who have taken advantage of the
ignorance and misfortune of the colored de-
positors.

He Wanted An Explanation.
From Puck

An intelligent American and an ignorant
Briton sat together in the Senate gallery at
Washington on Tuesday of last week, and the
American was explaining to the Briton the
workings of our enlightened system of govern
ment. Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas. was making
few remarks. The nomination and election
of Grover Cleveland" said he, ''have made the
pretensions of any American citizen to the
Presidency respectable. There is no man in
this country whose ignorance is so profound
whose obscurity is so impenetrabe, and whose
aDtecedentS are so degraded that he NAV not
justifiably aspire to a presidential nomination
by the Democratic party"
"Who," inquired the Briton, SIS that-er-
gentleman"
"Ingals, of Kansas" replied the American
Don't you think it warm in herep You haven't
seen the statue of -"
Isn't he speaking about the President?'
further inquired the Briton, uninterested in the
statue.
Yes" said the American, 1.-THE rotunda is
worth -"
But thought you people elected your Presi-
dent by popular vote, went on the Briton
so we do"
But do your people like to hear your Presi
dent talked about in that way?'
why, no." said the American somewhat I'M
easily; Il don't suppose So"
Then why does he do itY'
"Ah, well, it's only Ingalls-nobody minds In
gals"
But isn't he one of your SenatorsY"
''Why, yes, he's Senator
did the Kansas people elect himY'
NO, the Legislature elected him"
But why do they elect him if he does such
thingsg"
oh don't know" said the American IN
guardedly. II guess the Kansas Legislature is
a pretty tough lot"
There was pause in the conversation before
the ignorant Briton spoke again.
81 fancy you're right, - he said
Wouldn't you like to go and see the Wash
ington monument" asked the intelligent Ameri-
can.
why, certainly replied the Briton; "is the
Washington monument particularly interest
ing?"
well, said the American meditatively, sit
doesn't talk"

A Love Story with a Moral.


Once upon time soap bubble. sailing gavIv
through the summer air, espied thistle bloom
nodding IN the green pasture below and-foolish
little bubble at once fell desperately in love
with it. What comely flower it dubbed
Il wonder if it would be offended should dare
to pay my addresses to it: AT least can 60 no
better than try" Whereupon the smitten little
ball of evanescence drifted slowly down to a
point in front of the purple bloom, which greet
ed it with smile of encouragement having as
it appears had the torch of love lighted in its
interior, too, by the appearance of the iridescent
stranger in the cerulean Skies Now, of course.
not word of thistle could the bubble speak,
nor could the bloom bubble, but there is Silent
language of the heart, and they spoke it so
eloquently that maiden frog in a nei ghboring
pond fell under the sweet influence, and blushed
an olive green clear to the ends of her dainty
toes. But all stories must have an ending, and
the end Of this one is that the foolish bubble
tried to kiss his blooming sweetheart; but no
sooner did his lips come in contact with the
coarse petals than, bubble-like, it burst, drench
ing the poor flower with soapsuds And the
hower-why, 1t died too, the bubble having been
the offspring of Croton water and a complexion
soap.
From all this we may learn to beware of fall
ing in love at first sight

Five O'clock Tea

There's crowd in the parlOrs of Mistress Van
A crowd that has come to the Five O'clock Tea
A crowd that is jostug and pushing around
The wee little stand where the tea is to be found

And I'm glad that she clings to it, Mistress Van

A polite little note into old Chelsea Town
And invites poor cousin who's still a Van V
To receive with her daughters at Five O'clock

The daughters are fair, and their figures are fine
And each nose of the three is pure aquiline;
And their figures are full, and their backs have
fall,
And they're bright, and they're clever, and
stately and tall;
But my eyes look at them, and my heart looks
TO see
The girl who is handling my Five O'clock Tea.
A STILL little girl, in a simple blue gown.
A small poor relation from old Chelsea town:
A pale little girl with look on her face
As though she felt shockingly out of her place
In the splendid great parlors of Mistress Van V.

hair with evening dress
Mrs. Cleveland-The pansy, to which she gives
the preference on ali occasions and not long ago
had it embroidered into one of her most success
full gowns.
The Princess of Wales-The violet, which in
hue matches exactly her eyes.
Modjeska--The Mermot rose groups of which
she carries with her even when travelling in the
cars.
Queen Marguerite, of Italy-The daisy
which she wears in diamonds in her hair and

The Chief Justiceship.

The two men most frequently mentioned
for Chief Justice are Speaker Carlisle and
ex-Gov. Hoadly of Ohio, who is now prac-
ticing law in the city of New York. Both
are men of acknowledged ability, sterling
integrity and possess in a marked degree
the qualities which are necessary to success
on the bench
Speaker Carlisle is distinguished for the
calm and dispassionate manner in which he
discusses important public questions. Soon
after his entrance into Congress he attract
ed attention by his thorough understanding
of legal principles and constitutional ques
tons, and for the mastery and compre
hensive way in which he handled them. He
is broad-gauge man, and although he has
never been Judge he has been practicing
lawyer for the greater part of his life and
has judicial mind
Ex-Gov. Hoadly has made splendid
reputation at the bar, and has been en-
ployed in many cases in which it was neces-
sary to settle principles rather than to de-
termine the weight Of authorities. Those
who have been associated with him at the
bar speak of his ability and his acquire
ments in the highest terms and express the
opinion that if appointed to the Chief JUS
ticeshlp he would make a record which
would compare favorably with that of the
great mon who have occupied that position.
The suggestion has been made that the
appointee should be taken from the bench,
and it is not without good reasons to sup
port it, but it is worthy of notice that no
one of the Chief Justices had been a Judge
before being elevated to the highest Judicial
position in the country
Marshall had served in the Virginia Leg
isature, in Congress, and had been Score
tary of State. fancy had been a member
of the Legislature, Attorney General of his
State and Of the United States Chase had
been Governor, Senator and Secretary of
the Treasury, and Waite had held no
prominent position except that of Consul of
the United States at Geneva He had never
even had a case in the court in which he
was appointed to preside.
If Judge is appointed Chief Justice,
therefore, it will not be because precedents
are in favor of such an appointment 1t is
safe to assume that in appointing a Chief
Justice the President will not be guided by
anything else than a desire to get the best
man that can be found for the place. The
appointee should be lawyer not much past
middle life, who is distinguished for integrity
and ability, and who is capable of rising
above prejudice, passion and partisan feel
ings. There are such men and the Presi-
dent is pretty certain to find one of them.

A Simple Invention Worth Millions.


1t is wonderful how the discovery of what is
the inventor Take, for illustration, the per-
forated substance used for bottoming chars and
for other purposes. Its inventor is now
millionaire, and is realizing a princely revenue
from it yearly. George Yeaton, the inventor l
refer to, was poor Yankee cane-seater in YER
mont. He first distinguished himself by invent
ing machine for weaving cane, but he made no
had the process patented After a number of
years experimenting Yeaton at last hit upon
this invention, which consists of a number of
thin layers of boards of different degrees of
hardness, glud together TO give pliability. Yea
ton went through a number of bitterly contested
lawsuits before he got his invention patented.
He was wise in not paying others to nanufac-
ture his device. He formed company, and to-
day he has plant valued at $50O, 900.
