TEE PRESIDENTS AUToGRAPH.-Says WASH
iprton specisl: A lady went to the White House
recently to obtain the Presidents autograph.
Handing Mr. Pruden, the executive clerk,
bright. clean sheet of tinted note paper with her
monogram upon it, she requested that gentleman
70 ask Mr.. Cleveland to nscribe his name thereon.
Mr.. Pruden, always obliging went to the Presi,
dents private Office to secure the favor ior inc
lady. Returning in few moments no said ;"lhe
President sends his compliments, and says that II
you will bring your autograph album he Will be
yiad to write his name in it, but he never puts
his signature upon blank sheet of paper" Inc
lady was rather tsken sbsck, but, thanking DIR.
p-uden for his kindness, returned home to bring
her album. The book being triiie dingy III ap-
pearance, and also quite full of autographs, she
determined to purchase new one and have the
Presidents signature to start H." Froceeolhg
to a bookstore she bought new and handsome
albnm and repaired to the White House, arrlVlns
there within twenty minutes from the time she
had left. MI Pruden, smiling, took the book ana
renaired to the President to obtain his autograph
for the persevering lady. Returning, he gave the
book to the lady, who, thanking him, lett for her
homo. Upon arriving there she opened the albnm
10 gaze on the valued inscription and found the
following
Woman's name-hers but to give away
A mans his all ; it should not 60 astray.

As We arc probably on the verge Of OK.
travagant expenditures for forts and guns,
~ we'll o. for other things that We need
less, It may be we'll to consider the siss OF
this one hole for the burial OF money raised
by unnecessary taxation. General Casey

day, that It would take %. 0O0. 900 to put
Fort Monroe in respectable condition, and
he would not venture 10 guess the probable
cost OF complete system OF fortifcations.
The mortars authorised last year by Con.
gress cannot be finished for two or three
years, and by that Time dynamite guns,
melinite or war balloons may render forts
and mortars useless

the risk Of sinking lot Of money, but Q

Wharton Barker, the original Harrison
Eaan, thinks that he will be . greatly
abused Individual IL he does not bloom
into secretary OF the treasury and Har.
will not be the man that he thought
be was when he selected him from
smong all men for the presidency.
II does mot seem to Mr.. Barker that
Mr.. Harrison may prove his fitness for
the presidency by not making Mr.. Bar
ker secretary Of the treasury, because Of
Mr.. BarkeiS advocacy and friendship.
1t would occur to Mr.. Barker, II he was
at to be secretary OF the treasury, that q
man at to be president, would inquire
first into his fitness for the secretaryship
and that friendship would not make the
appointment. Therefore, Mr.. Barker
errs in basing his claim primarily upon
his devotion. He needs to show his nc.
ness before friendship can have inau'
ence, and we fear that here Mr.. Barker
is weak. We are not In China,
