HOME LATE FROM THE BALL
A Nc ung Lady's Dimcuity in Locating
Her Uncle.

A Nc uns Lady's DifHculty in Locating
Her Uncle.
A good story is told of young lady
from well-known town in Illinois, visit
ing her uncle's family, and for the past
few weeks dipping mildly into the gay
designations OF our Capital City.
Returning early one morning from a
ball she directed her escort to stop.the
carriage in front of the house, and he
proceeded to try and pry open the front
door with the latch-key. II was chilly
night, but the drops soon stood heavy on
the young mans brow as he worked gall
lantly but in vain. Then they endeavored
TO lift the windowsash, butit was securely
fastened.
With heavy heart Miss W. was con-
strained to ring the bell, which she did
several tunes without success, and she
was presently reduced to desperation at
her failure TO awaken 'the folks" At
last a genial voice exclaimed: "Who's
that ?" ats me, uncle,n says she, disre-
garding grammar in the Joy of being
recognized. "And who's you uncle?' y
repeated the basso, in voice which was
that of stranger. Without waiting for a
reply our discomfited miss fairly hed--it
was the 1ext-door house, and she was not
acquainted Her feelings may be imag-
ined, but not described, and the disturb
ers were pleased to escape with whole
skins from the scene of their involuntary

WASHINGTON, FEB. 20, 1888.
A sTRnNG rEANI

Justice Miller of the United States
Supreme Court is not politician in
the ordinary sense of the term, yet
there is no public man living who, as
counselor and friend, stood nearer to
the illustrious chief of the first Re-
publican Administration or who has
been more closely identified with the
high lines of progress of the Repub-
lican party,
He is a man of uncommon political
sagacity and possessed of practical
knowledge Of men and affairs that
would make him wise and trust
worthy leader.
That he is learned iurist, need
need not be stated; nor will it be
questioned that his abilities are of
such high and statesmanlike order
as to fit him quite us well for the ex-
ecutive duties of the Presidency as
for the judicial functions cf the
Bench.
Although Judge miller came to
Washington fro.h Iowa, and the
HawLeve State, with pardonable
nride sill claims him as her own, he
my also be said to belong by the
nature Of his Office to the country at
large; and all the States may claim
share in the solid, stalwart American
qualities through which he won his
way to.distinction.
At the same time, by early associa-
ton and long residence he is of the
West--in many respects typical
representative of Western character
istics and consequently well calculated
to inspire the Republicans of that
section with universal enthusiasm
were he made their Presidential
standard bearer. In the event Of his
nomination, moreover, the second
place on the ticket would naturally
fall to some favorite son OF the East.
There is no Republican in New
York or New England, however
prominent or ambitious of prefer
iiiei.'' ~ motAd consider it an honor
TO be associated 18th Judge Miller as
a candidate for Vice-fres;dent though
they might never consent :. ,.,cb an
alliance with others more conspiou-
ousin the active politics of the day.
In short, it is to be doubted whether
the Republicans could find stronger
or better man. The fact that he is on
3the Supreme Bench does not interfere
& VS. availability; nor is there any
why the Judiciary should be
looked upon as place of permanent
exile from Presidential aspirations.
The name of Judge Miller would
carry with it unwonted weight and
influence. 1t would proclaim the end
of sectional in politics; it would
heal the rents and divisions that now
mar the compactness and harmony OF
the Republican organization; it would
bring back the wandering Mugwumps,
or the great bulk Of them to the Re-
publican fold; it would tend to res
toration Of the more or less shattered
prestige Of the grand old party and,
in the event Of success, would insure
the country straight administration.
BY way Of suggestion, therefore, to
--ear Republican friends, who seem to
be in considerable of a stew and a
good deal at sea since Mr.. Blaine was
last heard, We submit at venture as
their ticket for 'S8;
! Samuel F. Miller of Iowa, for Presi-
dent; Joseph r. Hawley of Connecti-
cut, for President.
The Washington critic., 1888-02-20

THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE will
determine on Wednesday where Mr..
Cleveland is to be renominated. There
is considerable contention for the
place, for the honor Of holding the
convention carries with ii the further
honor of nominating the next Presi-
dent. At least such is the general drift
of Democratic opinion. The delegates
now here, representing all sections of
the country, are alike confdent-New
York, the West, the Pacific Slope.
Not doubt seems TO be anywhere felt
as TO the outcome of the contest, and
that what was reasonable certainty
before has become a foregone conclu-
sion by Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal.
There are slips between the cup and
the lip, however, and the Democracy
need all the aggressiyeness, alertness
and activity they can muster to make
their calling and election sure. II
was over-eonfidence that came within
iiffy Of losing Democratic Speaker
TO the House Of Representatives.

THE WIND.

Oh. 20 be borne away
ON the wings of the wild North wind
Then surely the soul would find
The light Of grander day.
Away from the city street,
Where the sunset crimson and gold
Burns red on the pavement cold,
SO trodden by weary feet.
Afar through the wind-tossed sky,
Der the valley and lofty hill
10 the sea, where the gales fierce will
Goads the ocean stceds TO fly
Yet faster the souls desire
Can speed than the storm wind feet,
Outstfipping the tempest's feet
Or the thnnder's herald OF fire.

EARTHQUAKE.


THE FLANNEL THAT Is WASHED.
Twas on chilly, Sunday morn,
When Grover, with a spurt,
Jumped out of bed at 8 o'clock
And grabbed his flannel shirt.
He yanked Il up he yanked IL down,
He stretched IL far and vide,
He stuck his feet into the arms
And kicked IL in the side.
And then he showed both of his arms
Into that flannel red,
And when he got them half way in,
He followed with his head.
Now, did you ever see this sight,
A bootleg on a cat2
Well, magnify IL many times
And Grover looked Ike that.
He worked nm hour and a-half
And shed some oaths and tears;
And promptly at eleven a. an.
The shirt had reached his ears.
Then in his wild despair he made
The effort of his life;
And as il settled round his neck,
In came his charming wife.
And then he put his linen ON,
While Mrs. Q. did say,
GOOD gracious, Grover, pull IL down;
Don'twear il up that wayp'
"Don't mention it, my love-" said he
And winked his western eye,
uI'll wear II so, the tariff, Frank,
Makes flannel very high"
It looks little like Lucifer had got
back into Providence by the amount of
fire ihey are having there.

An EXCELLENT EDITORIAL appeared
in the New York Times yesterday
favoring the change of Inauguration
day and showing that not until April
80, 1889, were the wheels of govern
ment first set in motion. The first
Wednesday in March was set by
Congress rs the time for commencing
proceedings under the new Constitu-
tion, and it happened to be the 4th
day of that month; but no quorum
was present in both houses until the
9Th of April, when the votes for
President were counted. Vice-Presi-
dent John Adams took the chair as
President of the Senate April q, and
Washington was not inaugurated as
President of the United States until
April so. "The most rigid conserva-
tism, therefore," says the Times,
"need not shrink from restoring
April 80, in the centennial year, to
the place of honor which it occupied
in 1889 as Inauguration day."
