EtsHoP PoTrtH.

The New York World says that the
fact that Levi T. Morton is Nice-Presi
dent and Wsnamaker Posimaster-Gene
raj proves the truth and appropriateness
of Bishop Potter's denunciation Of the
abuses of our politics.
The pets Of the protective tariff gave
Doodle fund 10 the Republican canvass
ami. AS many people claim, it was this
element that carried the election for
Harrison
The really significant utterance in that
discourse was the Bishops warning
against the encroachments of Pluto
cracy and the degradation of politics in
this country This warning, he declares,
was deliberately given from high sense
of duty
X 1t is not wise ioI free people to sup
press even "a passionate criticism that
claims any just right, and knowing what
the fathers were in the glory Of their pa
triotism and genius, and that what we
have is owing 10 those inspired gifts
shall We not call the trustees and ser
wants of the people TO a.
strict account of their stewardship and
whip the knayes out Of the temple when
they dare to piofane it with money
changing and corruption and specula-
ton with the peoples most sacred rights.
1t has been said that Bishop Potter
was unfortunate in one section of his ser
mon in that he proclaimed personal
dignity as necessary to the maintenance
of our national character, and that he
criticised the Jacksonian yulgauty. If
Bishop Potter was wrong in one part OF
his sermon, the fact remains that the
other part Of it speaks in burning words,
and never mind TO whom they belong,
they will still be spoken words voiced
by every thoughtful man who holds the
honor of his country as part of its
safety. 1t may be said that Bishop /
Potter presumed on the privileges OF
Office and the opportunity of the occa-
sion. But George Washington presumed
and so did Jefferson and all their fol-
overs
Saint Paul and Cromwell and William
Tell, and every character mythical, po-
litical religious OF otherwise, taking
them In legend and history just al
random. were bold men who were
thought to presume because they felt
the all powerful inspiration Of the truth.

In . thoughtful article IN Ths American

q greater number Of cases London beef, it
Is stated BY experts, Is 30 per cent tubercu-

The fact that consumption does not exist in
countries where the COW IS absent, as among

il suggestive. Excellent authority Is quoted
TO show the identity Of the human and the

srinarian, in 1858 proved that the disease may

The conclusion OF tae whole matter Is that
more precautions should be taken by the state

Mr.. George Barclay, of the British le-
cation, has of late been sufficiently epris
of Miss Letter, the beautiful western
heiress, who has turned all Washington
heads this winter.
Mr.. Barclay is the attractive young
gentleman who won fame and money at
the Knickerbocker club in New York by
backing himself to drive to the Bruins
wick hotel, dress for dinner and return
inside of ten minutes. He did actually
accomplish this feat inside of seven min
utes. 1t is undoubtedly owing to this
nervous haste abnormally developed in
an otherwise rather slow nature that Mr..
Barclay has now to accept his present
modification.
1t seems that Mr.. Barclay felt the ap-
proach of the cold wave and purchased
some of those warm wooden garments
which stick closer than a brother to q
cold mans legs. The same afternoon he
ordered box of roses to be sent to his
lodgings. Late for dinner, as usual, he
rushed home, dashed off a pretty note to
Miss Letter, saying, "Wear these this
evening for my sake" and handed the
note and the box containing the wooden
goods to his servant, who duly delivered
them, while the box of roses remained
upon Mr.. Barclays table.
AS for Mr. Barclays personal explana
tons, they are, of course, unmentionable

She Got the Needle After All.

Nineteen years ago a woman residing here
accidentally pushed needle into her breast
She had been sewing on fine muslin and she
pushed the point of the needle through the
lapel of her basque while she inquired into
the cause of quarrel between two children
who were playing near by In a paroxysm
of tears the younger child threw herself into
the arms of the lady, and as she did so the
needle was pushed so far out of sight that
only the eye was visible. quick movement
to rescue it resulted in an entire disappear
ance of the fine bit of steel No inconven-
fence was experienced and the incident was
entirely forgotten. few evenings ago the
woman, who had carried the needle about
her for so many years, was awakened out Of
q sound sleep by peculiar pricking sensation
in the throat Rising up in bed she began to
cough. The pricking became more severe,
but the sharp substance appeared to be rising
in her throat. Thrusting her fingers down
as far as possible she caught hold of an object
and drew it out. 1t was the needle that
had been journeying about under the surface
for nineteen years-kingston Freeman.
