OFF FOR WASHINGTON.

This afternoon at o'clock the special
car belonging to President RoBERTs,
of the Pennsylvania road, will pull out
from the indianapolis depot on start
for Washington, with all the hopes Of
the Republican party on board. And
yet there are probably not a dozen Re-
publicanS in all the country who know
what Gen. HARRISON intends to do
when he gets to Washington, beyond
the fact that he will be inaugurated and
will attempt to carry out a Republican
policy according to his own peculiar
ideas of what constitutes Republican
policy. 1t is marvellous how well the
president-elect has kept his own coun-
sci. There are some who commend this
wisdom Of silence, while there are
others who think that the chief magis-
trate of republic ought TO show more
disposition to take the people into his
confidence. This reserved dignity is all
we'll enough with kings and empef0rs,
who have the power TO enforce what
ever policy they may outline for the
government, but it is different here,
where the people are rulers and the
head Of the government is merely a
public servant. Still, Gen. HARRISON
is not so much to blame TOR his
reticence, because he is really occupy
ing a humlating position before the
country, and the less he has to say the
better it is for him. IL he were free to
name his cabinet and to outline the pol
icy that he thinks his administration
should pursue, he would probably talk
with more freedom. As it is, he is hui
inflated by the consciousness that his
hands are tied and his lips sealed by the
leaders who secured his nomination for
him. He had previously promised Mr.
ELKINs that Mr. BLAINE should not
only be at the head of the cabinet, but
that the Maine man should have the
naming Of majority of the presiden-
tial family. So it is possible that the
cabinet list will not be filled, and the
policy Of the administration will not be
defined until Gen. HARRISON gets to
Washington and has submitted his work
to Mir. BLAINE for revision.
1t is TO wonder, then, that Gen. HAIR
RIsoN requested his home folks not to
make any demonstration to-day When
he takes his departure for the national
capital. He is leaving home with a
heavy heart and mind filed with I'M
certainties as to what will please or dis
please Mr.. BLAINE He knows that
when he takes the oath of Office week
from tomorrow, it will have to be
with the mental reservation that the
functions of his high Office will be per-
formed according to Mr.. BLAINE's die
tation. He goes into the presidential
office with about the same feeling that
the young Emperor WILLIAM assembled
the throne Of Germany-with the con-
seriousness that there is power behind
the throne stronger than he, and that
the premier is the most eXacting mas
ter.
Kind people Will assemble at the
stations along the route from Indianapo-
lis to Washington to offer their con-
CALCULATIONS to the president Yet
III his innermost soul Gen. HARRISON
will feel that he needs their commiser-
alton more than their applause.

young people would have lived happily
together and that even now young
Blaine would return and lived with his
wife again if he had money to support
her. or ii his father would make him
reasonable allowance.
sin Augusta it is thought that Mr.
Blaine's refusal to Make a more liberal
allowance for his son is an indication
that he is not as rich man as he is
popularity supposed to be. Young
Blaine's venture in going to the Water
vile Locomotive Works to learn the pro-
fesSiOn of practical engineer is looked
upon askance, both in Augusta and in
other localities where his past life is
known. The idea undoubtedly eman-
ated from EmmOns Blaine. who is SUI
perintendent of railroad in the West.
1t is not impossible that the elder
Blaine favored this project, having in
view the good effect it might have upon
the general public. Jimmy Blaine's
best friends give him about year to re-
main at the Waterville works. during
which time he is not likely to gain any
vast amount of knowledge of the pro-
fesSiOn.
''YOung Mrs. Blaine meantime is
earnestly prosecuting her dramatic
studies under the direction of Prof.
David Belasco. of the Lyceum theater,
and will not appear on the stage until
some time next fall. 1t has not been de-
cded as yet as to what parts she will
essay, but she is known to favor the
higher class of comedy. Mrs. Blaine's
first appearance was at Washington in
the opera of Paul and Virginia. and
she has very pleasant voice. but lacks
the physical strength for appearing in
opera.
at will be remembered that Mrs.
Blaine first met her husband while
spending few WEEKS in Augusta on q
visit to her brother, who was employed
there. From the time Jimmy Blaine
first met her his attentions to her
were so marked that her sister, who was
with her, thought their visit to Augusta
had better be cut short, and prepare
tons were made 10 return to New York.
But when the train left Augusta the
young ladies found that Blaine was q
passenger on the same train with
them, nor did he leave them until
they reached this city. The fol-
lowing night he took dinner with the
Nevins family at the New York hotel.
The next day the young couple got
married and went to Boston. Young
Blaine then returned to Augusta to
make his peace with his family, and
Mrs. Blaine returned to her father and
mother at the New York hotel.
''Mrs. Baine's only child, James q.
Blaine ILL.,, is as fine baby as one
would care to see, and his features al
ready suggest to the acute observer his
distinguished grandfather. The Blaine
family has offered to take the child and
support it, but young Mrs. Blaine de-
clares that she would rather beg from
door to. door than give up her child"

THE LEGISLATURE,

The Republican papers all over the
state are jumping on the legislature
with tremendous force for not doing
something, In looking through the
state exchanges and reading the numer-
Gus complaints lodged against the legis
lature, we fail to get an intelligent idea
of what our state contemporaries are
complaining beyond the fact that the
legislature is spending great deal of
public money without having done
much work
Ii is not our purpose to enter upon
defense of the legislature. but in all
fairness we must say that this is the
best legislature that has assembled in
this state for a good many years. The
membership is more than ordinarily in
telligent, and the body is composed of a
more distinctly representative class of
men than legislatures usually consist
of. 1t is true that comparatively few
laws have been passed, yet we do not
know but what that is a recommended
ton. In the past we have had too much
legislation-tha is, too much of the
DOOR quality that we have been getting.
A decrease in the number of laws that a
legislature usually turns out, and an
improvement in the quality, is about
what the public interests require. If
this legislature has ad opted the motto
Fewer laws and better Ones" we are
quite sure the public ought to be in
dulgent towards it.
There is another matter ia connection
with this legislature that cur state eX-
changes should not lose sight of. 1t
is engaged in heroic struggle to re-
form itself, to check its own eXtrava-
gance and to get down to an economic
basis in accordance with the popular
idea of legislative reform. 1t surely
should be allowed all the time that may
be necessary to accomplish this praise
worthy object. If it takes the legiSla-
ture all summer to fight it out On the
line of self-reform, the time should not
be begrudged it. For it will be utterly
impossible to have eXtravagances
checked in other directions until we
can get alegislature that possesses some
knowledge of the principles of economy
in the managementof its own affairs.
There is no call upon the GLOBE to
go out of its way to defend Republic
can legislature from the assaults of the
Republican press, but we are SO much
interested in the work of self-reform
that this Legislature is now engaged in,
we want to see it have fair show
ING to accomplish what it is aiming at.
1t has been many years since we had a
legislature that would even consider
the question of reducing its own eX-
penses. 1t may be many years before
we have another one. So we implore
our brethren of the state press to hold
their souls in patience until they have
seen the end of this legislative session.
Then, if the reforms we all desire are
not accomplished, the GLOBE will join
them in making it hot for unfaithful
members who permitted the public
money to be wasted.

TALES OF ANIMAL LIFE.
An Intellectual Cat and an Astuto
Cd Grow.

Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
Several years ago we had cat that
we all thought a great deal of, but she
was little more reserved in the be.
stowaI of her affections. She seemed
not to care for any one very much, ex.
cept for my eldest daughter and myself,
and If man or boy came into the house
she would leave immediately. The
summer that [ speak of she had
three young kittens. When they
were about two weeks old was sitting
i'm the cook room one day, when l no.
ticed the cat coming in and thought
something was the matter with her, but
did not get up to see. She went and
laid down under the stove, but was I'M
toward us. | forgot to mention that one
or two men were also in the house, but
pretty soon they went out, when she
went directly to her kittens, took one
and carried it to my daughter, who eX,
claimed:
what is the matter with pussy?"
Before had time to look she had
brought another to me, and as she laid
it down she looked at me and, making u
most pitiful noise, stretched out and
died, and we found upon looking that
she had been cut nearly In TWO. she
had waited until the men left the room,
as if she was afraid of them. and then
had looked out for the welfare of her
offspring the best she knew how, by
bringing them to those she loved, and
the look on her face was as earnest an
appeal as human cOuntenance could
have expressed.
One of the children had, a year ago
this summer. at me crow which showed
a great deal of shrewdneSS. or sense, or
reason. whichever you choose to call it.
They kept him out in the orchard near
an old lounge that was placed under the
trees, and there was just room enough
for his little body to get under it.
When they first had him out there the
hens would get nearly all the food, and
he, being afraid of them, would hop off
under the lounge and scOld away at
them; but after day or two he would
begin Just as soon as his food was
brought to him to carry it down under
the lounge.
He would not stop to eat mouthful
Until he had got it all well out of reach.
and then when the hens came around
he would sit there and take a mOuthful
and then chuckle and chatter and seem
TO enjoy his meals all the better because
the hens had to stand round and look at
him. but couldn't get any of it.

POINTS IN COURT ETIQUETTE.

Never whistle in the presence of la
dies of the royal family.
Do not eat ice cream and sausage at
once at the imperial spread.
Do not inquire of the sultan how his
good lady is to-day. He won't know
what you mean.
Assert your independence as much as
you choose. bnt do not insist on reading
the declaration thereof to her majesty.
When you are introduced to Queen
Victoria do not lean forward and say
that you did not quite catch her last
name.
If you are being presented at the
German court do not enter the emper
or's presence Whistling the Boulanger
march.
The proper costume for presentation
at the Spanish court is swaddling
clothes, as his majesty sets the fashions
for his guests.
Inquire cordially after Bismarck, but
do not allude to your having dined
few days previous with the emperOr'S
honOred grandma.
You must not congratulate the empe-
Tor upon his craftsmanship. He is the
man who cannot hit the side of a house
with picked cucumber at two PAGES.
Avoid slang in conyersing with her
majesty, and do not try to razzle-daZzle
her with Americanisms. Speak the
queens English. Even that is INGRAM
NAUTICAL enough.
When you are presented at the En-
glish court avoid undue familiarity with
the queen. Do not offer her tutti-frutti
chewing gum OF tell her that her name
is familiar.
If the car asks you to dine with him
get your life insured and leave collar
button or pair of shoes with your chill
dren, so that i'll case you are blown up
they will have something left to get up
a funeral with.
1t may be very true that you will feel
glad to meet the queen of England, but
you need not tell her so. She probably
knows it as we'll as you do, and you may
as we'll put in your time to better adj
vantage by getting her to write her
autograph on the bosom of your shirt.

NATIONAL BANKRUPT LAW.

There will be an important conyen-
ton at ST. Lonis next Thursday, to be
held under the auspices of the Asso-
ciated Wholesale Grocels. The conyen-
ton Is to be composed of representa-
tives from the various commercial
bodies of the United States. and the OBJ
ject is to formulate national bankrupt
law to be presented to the next con-
gress, together with petition asking
for its passage. Most of the states have
a bankrupt act intended to afford the
debtor some protection against the
creditor But there is such a diversity
in these laws, and many Of them are so
VIGOROUSLY unjust to one or the other
party, there is decided sentiment
among business men that there ought
to be a uniform and equitable bank
rupt law which shall mutually protect
both debtor and creditor. The conven-
ton at st. Louis next Thursday will
consider this subject in all its details.
