The Tables Turned.

Plttsburs Dispatch.
a woman who applied for place as
cook with family III this city was sub
iected to very searching examination
as to her abilities and habits by toe lady
of the house At last the lady asked
the woman:
''Do you drink
The woman replied with quiet dignity:
mo, mB'am; but judging from what
I've seen in service might ask you that
question"
Asked to explain herself the woman
continued: In both my last places my
employers drank to excess, and led a
dogs life in consequence. | do not mean
to enter a house where the mistress
touches drop of liquor"
This was turning the tables with a
vengeance.

The cause of the Central hotel disaster
In Hartford, Conn. by which no less
than twenty-five persons lost their lives
and great suffering entailed upon as
many more, says The Courant, was the
faulty construction of the building
faulty in the design and the material
used. That paper also says the building
had been regarded as unsafe for some
time, but had been more recently patched
up and the public apprehension of its
unsafe condition thus allayed. The
Courant now calls for the creation of the
office of inspector of buildings and the
appointment thereto of competent man.
The last suggestion is well enough.
though it is a good deal like locking the
barn door after the horse has been stolen.
But this is no palliation for the culpa-
bility of somebody for the disaster that
is past remedying.

Legislation in regard to the constant
immigration to this country is needed.
The effects of immigration are twofold-
moral and political Moral in SO far as
the beliefs or unbeliefS of the immigrant
influence the life of himself and his as
sociates; political in so far as his thrift,
his desire of personal improvement, his
conformity to the usages of native labor,
Or the reverse Of these, are likely to add
10 or diminish the capital of the coun-
Try, which is, in the beginning, the ac-
cumulated savings or the labor of the
country. This is suggested by the
thought that nothing has been done or is
likely to be done by the present con-
gress-which promised so much-in the
matter of restrictive legislation. Itlooks

PLUMB.AND THE CABINET,

The following letter from Senator
Plumb, written in response to the action
of the membership of the Wichita Board
of Trade, shows that his own convictions
were voiced in the movement:
UNITED STATES SENATE.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. IS, 1889.
G. ". Clement, Secretary. Wichita, Kan.
DEAR SIR: / am duly in receipt of
yours of the fourteenth covering the
very complimentary declaration of the
members Of the Wichita Board of Trade
upon the question of my remaining in
the United States senate, this declaration
being evoked by the resolutions of the
Kansas legislature requesting General
Harrison to appoint me TO a place in his
cabinet
| beg to assure you in reply, and
through you themembers of your Board
of Trade, that | appreciate their utter
ances very highly, first, because they
accord with my own view of the sphere
III which can best serve the people of
Kansas. and. secondly. because there Is
no body of men whose confidence and
good will are of greater value than of the
association which has contributed so
powerfully to the growth, the develop
ment and the prosperity of that great
city which is not only the pride of Kan
sas, but one of the most significant re-
suits of the development of that great
state. The commentator OF such a
body of men is praise indeed. l shall
hope to justify in the future more fully
than in the past not only the confidence
of the Wichita Board of Trade. but of all
the people of the state whose commission
| bear, and whom / have no other ambi-
ton than to faithfully serJ e. Yours
truly, P b. PLUMB.

1t will no doubt be a source Of much
satisfaction to many persons, and for
many reasons, to know that everybody
who goes to the inaugural ball in Wash
ington next Monday night will pay.
There are no complimentary tickets to
the ball, with two exceptions. There is
one ticket for Mr. Cleveland and one for
Mr., Harrison. Only those, andno more,
Not one of the executive committee even
gets complimentary, and every man
connected with the affair buys his own
ticket. This will inform many people
who nave sent on requests to newspaper
men or officials to secure them compli-
mentaries. One newspaper proprietor
in New York sent to his correspondent
to procure him ten complimentary tick
cts, saying, You may use my name if
necessary" He was informed that he
could get them for five dollars apiece,
and he took three.

a WONDERFUL CITY.


From the Waverly Magazine, issue Of March Q
1889 under heading Editorial Chit-Chat"
ga Wonderful Countrywide town of
Wichita, in Kansas, is a wonderful in
stance of American growth; but we be-
come SO used to the miracles of develop
ment which occur in the west, that we
cease to appreciate the fact that they are
something more than commonplace hap
penings. That town which had only
seventy inhabitants in 1870 should now
have nearly forty thousand, with two
colleges housed in handsome dwellings,
a beautiful theater, daily newspaper
printed on perfecting press from stere
otype plates, land all other characteristics
of highly civilized community, would
be regarded in any other quarter of the
world as development amazing their
belief. But in the American common
wealth, which is growing, as a young
lad does, SO fast that it hardly knows
itself, and we have to be told such
things are coming to pass within our own
borders"

declaration we can only say, using Gen
eral Harrison's language in regard to the
free traders position on the tariff ques-
ton during the late campaign, it is the
direction and not the length Of the step
that makes it Objectionable. Mr.. Rice's

this city for the purpose of further pre-
senting to the, general passenger agents
Of the Central Traffic Association, now
in session here, the claims of the G. A..
h. for the same rates to the National
Encampment as heretofore made, and
as recently made to other associations.
The gentlemen tonight furrisn ihn assc-
clated Press With a statement, in which
they say in part;
"Havirs, received the same evasive
answers which have been made to the
repeated requests of the Commander-in-
Chief and Local Committee at Mil
waukee, for a one cent rate per mile,
and feeling that the Grand Army of the
Republic is entitled to at least as much
consideration as other societies and Or
CARNATIONS, and that we should resent
this unjust discrimination against the
veterans who saved the life OF the nation,
we hereby insist that the proper rail-
road officials throughout the United
States fix and establish, on or before the
10th instant, rate Of one cent per mile
to and from the National Encampment
at Milwaukee, and in case of failure 30
to do within the specified time, We hereby
declare our determination to carry out,
by general orders in our respective de-
partments, the spirit of the resolution
adopted at the twenty-second National
Encampment, as follows:
"ResolUed further, That unless the rail-
road companies furnish the required re.
lief to comrades, then the various depart
ments will discourage the attendance of
all except members Of the National En-
campment; and, further, that we shall
call upon the Commander-in-C Chief to is
sue general order requesting that only
duly authorized representatives. of the G..
A. r. attend said Encampment."
The number of such representatives. is
believed to be less than 900, while the
attendance at the Encampment was ex-
pected to be many thousands.

A New COMPANY.

On the 1st day of January last the
younger male residents of Downey organ
lied an independent military company,
each man being armed and equipped at
his own expense, and after a good deal
OF discussion it was finally agreed that
the company should be known as the
Santa Gertruda Rife Corps, after the
name of the renowned rancho. The
boys, under the able command of the
Illinois veteran, Colonel H. R. Gray,
have been drilled to fine point, and as
the membership roll includes at least
forty names, the company is something
for Downey to be proud of.

Who Shall Prosecute?

A dispute has existed for some time
between the city and county officials as
to who shall prosecute the State cases in
the city police courts. Yesterday the
following communications on the subject,
was laid before the Board of Supervisors
and ordered fled
Los ANGELES. July l, 1889.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors.
GENTLEMEN-Moret than a month ago both
the City Attorney AID the District Attorney re-
fused to prosecute the State misdemesnor cases
in the Police Court of this city, the first assert.
ing as q reason that 1t is no part of his du-
ties; and the second that he and his deputies
have not the time nor sufficient help to attend
to this class of cases, and as a further reason,
that the city receives the fines, If any collected.
Consequently this court was left without a
public prosecutor of such cases. and as last
resort, the court was compelled to appoint it's
clerk George Phibbs, Esq as pro ecution in
each and every case, hoping that within a
reasonable time the City and District Attorneys
would arrange the matter between themselves,
but such has not been done.
1t is both inconsistent with the duties of his
office and improper for the Clerk of this Court
to act also as prosecuh attorney. and he has
not the time to attend to it, and declines
further, except for a few days within which
the matters can be settled and public prose-
cutting officer assigned to this court. The ma
jority ana the most important ca,es during the
month last past have been State cases, and the
attention of prosecuting attorney is daily re-
quired to draw com plants and prosecute cases
in said court, and it will requ ire the whole
time and attention of one man to attend to
such cases. If prosecuting attorney
does not attend to this court in the future, the
court will be compelled either to refuse to issue
warrants in State cases, or to dismiss the de.
PENDANTS for want of prosecution, either of
which would be demoraliztng and very much
against the public interest and unav idable.
We therefore request that your honorable
body appoint a special committee to confer
with committee from the City Council and
arrange for the appointment of public prose-
cutor for said court.

Victoria Wants an appropriation
for Her Gran dchtldIen.

LONDON, July 2.-In the Commons,
this evening, the Speaker read a message
from the Queen commencing to the
House the granting of an extra provision
to Prince Albert Victor of Wales and
Princess Victoria of Prussia, on the occa-
sion of their marriage. Labouchere gave
notice that he would oppose any votes of
money for the Prince and Princess if they
were proposed before the Commission on
Royal Grants was appointed.
PROPOSED TREATY WITH JAPAN.
In the evening Sir James Ferguson,
Parliamentary Secretary to the Foreign
Office, in answer to an inquiry, stated
that the new treaty between Japan and
Mexico had not yet been ratified. The
treaty between the United States and
japan, which was signed February Goth,
would 60 into force February IL 1890.
The government, he said, would shortly
begin negotiations with Japan with the
object of securing for England equal
privileges with all other countries.
THE SAMOAN TREATY.
In relation to the treaty agreed upon
by the Samoan conference at Berlin, he
said it would not be proper to divulge
any of it's provisions until it has been
ratified by the United States Senate.
The statement, however, that England
had agreed to retire from her position as
one of the three protecting powers at
Samoa, and act only as umpire between
the United States and Germany, was
unfounded.
ANOTHER NEST TO BE FEATHERED.
1t is reported that Parliament will be
asked to grant Princess Louise, the
daughter of the Prince of Wales and the
fiancee of the Earl of Fife, an allowance
of e5, 900 until she is married, and after
marriage an annual allowance of Gl ,0OC
and 925 900 as a dowry. The details
have been impaired to Gladstone, who
