several Of the most prominent citi-

SHE IS STILL THE AMERICAN QUEEN.
NEW YORK, May An odd
and interesting feature of the great
Centennial ball was the reception
rendered to ex-President and Mrs.
| Cleveland, after the departure of
President Harrison about midnight.
The Clevelands had occupied a
box near the President during the
reception, and the opening quadrille.
After the departure of the President
and Mrs. Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland came down to the floor to
promenade. No sooner did the crowd
catch sight of them than they were
surrounded with people, as anxious
to see Mrs. Cleveland, apparently, as
they had been when she was White
| House bride.
Some one started the applause. 1t
grew until with a cheer the entire
crowd swept down on the Cleve-
lands, forcing them against the
boxes. At this moment some one in
an upper box broke bouquet and
showered roses on Mrs. Cleveland's
head. The crowd cheered again and
again. For quite a time Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland held reception or
the floor of the ballroom and dur.
ing that time they were the center
of attraction.

A SYLLOGISM.

We are going to fire little logic
at you now. We are loaded with
logic clear up to the muzzle. In
fact, logic is hanging out of the
muzzle.
A syllogism is Major Premise, a
Minor Premise, and Conclusion.
The Major Premise outranks the
other Premise and commands the
Regiment when Colonel Premise is
| off duty.
The Minor Premise doesn't wear
shoulder straps, but is in the line OF
promotion and hopes to get there.
He messes with the commissioned
officers just the same.
The Conclusion fetches up the
rear. Sometimes he fetches it up
in his arms, tenderly and in big
brotherish manner, and sometimes
he yanks it up by the tail. At any
rate, he always fetches up the rear
in one way or another.
We will now give you an example
of a syllogism.
Everybody reads what pleases
everybody. That is the Major
Premise, and Major, Premise is al
ways incontrovertible.
Everybody is pleased with THE
SENTINEL. That is the Minor Pre-
mise, and nobody ever dreamed of
contradicting him. He is SO full OF
truth that it bubbles out of him at
every pore.
Everybody reads THE SENTINEL.
This is the Conclusion. See ? Here's
the whole sylIogism:
Everybody reads what he likes;
Everybody likes THE SENTINEL.
therefore,
Everybody reads THE SENTINEL.
This is not Modesty. 1t is Logic
We are so full of Logic we can
turn out syllogisms by the bucketful
Look at this! Here's another:
The Wise man makes his business
pay;
It pays to advertise in THE SEN
TINEL; therefore,
The Wise man advertises in THF
SENTINEL.
That's sound Logic.

eminence of free government be
exemplifed by all the attributes
which can win the affections of
its citizens and command the respect
of the world"
1t will be noted that in his inau-
gural address President Washington
announced his purpose to refuse to
receive any salary for his services to
the government. In this declara-
ton he announced the salutary prin-
ciple that the conduct and policy of
the government should not be in the
hands of persons seeking to use it to
promote their private fortunes.
It is to be feared that the inau-
guration in the centennial year Of an
administration pledged to a tariff
taxing the masses AZ per cent. on
all they buy for the benefit of a
few thousand protected" manufac-
urers is a circumstance at which the
Father of his Country could hardly
have rejoiced had he foreseen it.
We have prospered as people, it
is true, in spite of unequal laws, but
the centennial year would have been
doubly welcome had it found the
country enjoying a rate of taxation
bearing at least just proportion to
that of Washington's time.

Corporal" Tanner is rs much
admired by the republicans as he is
despised by the democrats His de-
cisions are often so absurd and ques-
tionable as to excite contempt for the
whole pension system. A few more
men like Tanner and possibly some
reform in the pension system may
result. After all his appointment
may result benefcially, if it does
nothing more than prevent any more
such appointments in the future.
