ApoL LoelzlNa ALREADY.

THE Morning News undertakes to
apologize for the President on three
counts, namely: Mr. Cleveland was a
bad President; Mr.. Harrison is unac
auainted with the details OF persons
and political events east Of the Ohio
and north Of Virginia. Mr.. Harrison
maintains family prayers in the White
House These seem incongruous, mad
equate and trivial, il not humilating
causes of failure, but the News gravely
urges them. The News says
Mr. Harrison has thus far met every
emergency in his life with tolerabe sue
cess and rrithout the loss Of self respect.
Those who have been near enough to
him to understand the circumstances in
detail have approved Of his course
That is "damning with faint praise
with a vengeance Mr. Harrison was in
the United States Senate for six years
and he has been IN public life for fifteen
years, II he does not know the history
Of his country and current political
events he is in bad way The News
will likely have to devote a great many
columns TO apology during the next
four years If the statements made
to day are true. The criticisms of
Bishop Potter Rev Harlan and other
clergymen, together with the apologies
Of the newspapers, indicate that the fatal
leaven Of dissatisfaction is working in the
Republican party. Soon there will be an
outburst of indignation and the Presi-
dent will fail to meet the various and
conflicting demands Of his party. There
are already strong indications that the
administration will be failure. Already
two months have passed with Mr.. Harri-
son as President, six years as Senator and
fifteen years as public man, and still
nobody is near enough to understand the
| details of his course.

The snivel of senator Chandler that
he bears no malice TO the Southern peo-
pie and that he republshes the lists Of
murders for their good is the whine Of
a hypocrite He publishes them for poll
tical effect, TO prejudice the North
against the South. He asserts that the
murders are committed for the purpose
Of decreasing the Republican vote.
How could that possibly be true among a
brave, honorable aud law abiding peo-
pie? Murder and crimes occur every
where. The crime calendar of South Caro-
lima among the whites shows more the in
fiuence of modern civilization e
greater degree than the Grim,
calendars Of Massachusetts, and Con
necticut show. The negroes and the whites
are prosperous and healthy in the Soutl
and even the race problem is working itl
owr solution. What better can be ex
pected? What does Chandler propose
Congressional investigation and politlca
clap trap agitation have not and canno

Tho narber.s SPONGE.

BARRIERS have entirely discarded the sponge
in all first class tonsorial establishments for
the moro cleanly and more pleasing towel,
and every customer Is now treated TO a sort
Of facial Turkish bath for the small sum Of
fifteen cents The idea Of applying to tho
face towel dipped in boiling hot water
originated in Boston and became immensely
popular at once After removing tho hirsute
growth the barber instead Of mopping the
face with an i'll smelling sponge now dips a
fresh towel in hot water, wrings it thoroughly
and wraps it around the bleeding jaw Of tho
victim. Tho sensation that follows is one Of
unmlxed misery, as If cauterizing iron had
been passed around tho face, completely scar
ing it, The towel is hastily removed, again
plunged into the hot water basin, and once
more applied. This process is continued as
long as the patience Of the helpless subject
lasts When tho last towel is removed and
the face is allowed 10 cool down from its
glowing and boiled lobster state a delicious
feeling Of freshness follows, and the sharp,
singing pain, duo to tho remorseless passage
Of cold, sharp steel over tho face has disap-
peared This is the great advantage claimed
for the system, and it really seems to possess
ii. The towel is altogether preferable any
way as the soap which soaks into a sponge
soon becomes malodoruus, and the small hairs
which collect III it rasp the face liko so many

nrnnl,crs Stealing Corn.

Dr. Hopkins does not seem ever to have
heard of the way in which monkeys prepare
to rob a corn field. Lot US describe it.
When they get ready TO start on their expe-
dition, an old monkey, tho leader Of the
tribe, with a staff in his hand, SO as to stand
upright more easily, marches ahead on two
legs, thus being more elevated than the
others, so as TO see signs Of danger moro
readily. Tho rest follow him on all fourS.
The leader advances slowly and cautiously,
carefully rcconnoitering in all directions, till
the party arrives at the corn field. He
then assigns the sentinels 10 their respective
posts All being now in readiness, the rest
Of the tribe ravage and eat to their hearts
content. When they retire, each one carries
two or three ears Of corn along, ard from
this provision the sentinels are regaled on ar
rival at their lair. Here we see ability to
rule and a willingness to submit to rule; a
thoughtful preparation Of means to the end
in view, and recognition Of the rights
of tho sentinels to DO suitably rewarded
at the close of the expedition. Wherein does
oil this differ from similar foray OF tribe

exists is in degree; otherwise, it Is much tho
