Musical Mr.. Payne.


Washington Dispatch to the Millcd.tkee Even-
i1lg. Wisconsin.
Persons who have been about the Ebbitt
house during the last two weeks have noticed a
strange and unaccountable sound like the music
Of many brass bands playing far, far in the
distance. So much matter of amazement had
this strange, almost wierd sound become to per-
sons about the house that Long JONES' the
eXchairman Of the illinois republican state CEN
tral committee, deter .ninel the other night to
discover what it was. The first time Mr.. Jones
heard the sound after that, he listened and fol
lowed it as best he could. 1t led him through
the office, down the corridor. and finally into
the writin: room, where Henry c. Payne. the
chairman of the Wisconsin republican commit
tee, was penDing letter As Mr.. Jones ap-
preached Mr.. Payne the musical sound became
more and more distinct.
See here, Payne" said Jones, I'm deter
mined to find where this funny sound comes
from, and if you know anything about it you
might well say son
Mr.. Payne knew that Long" Jones wasn't
the kind of man to give up search, so he
said: ''Sh! If you won't give it away I'll tell
you the whole story You know the democrats
four years ago got 1900 majority in the Mil
waukee dlstrct?'
YES, but
We'll, you know we got 4,5OO majority this
timer"
OF course but
We'll, hold on! In order to overcome the
big democratic majority we had to run a rip
snortng campaign, didn't we?"
Il know it," said Jones, impatiently, but 1
don't want 10 talk politics now; want to run
down this Internal sound
Yes, yes" said Payne, Il know. Well, we
had to run a whooping campaign so | hired
every brass band in Milwaukee and went out
with EN- myself, and kept em blowing till |
got my system so cussed full Of their music
that it has been oozing out OF me at every pore
ever since. I've taken Turkish bath every
day since election, but We got so much Of that
music in me it's going to take long time to
get it all out

Corpl. Tanners Policy.

Corpl Tanner, the new commissioner of
apothecaries' scales should be used in meas
uring the nations Obligations to the ex-
union veterans. By this the commissioner
means that pensions should be increased all
around. He thinks that pensions of 50 and
SO per month are ridiculous. If he has his
way pensions will be greatly increased. He
declared the other day that the pension
office ought to help applicants for pensions
to prove their claims when they them
selves were unable to furnish the necessary
evidence.
There is no doubt that the whole infiu-
ence of the commissioner will be in favor of
increasing PENSIONS and it would not be at
all surprising if, before his term expires,
the pension burden should reach $125,-
100000 year. 1t is now $50, 900, ,000 and
has been steadily increasing for years. The
commissioner believes that the surplus IN
the treasury should be distributed among
the ex union soldiers, and 1t is quite certain
that the President would not veto a bill
which made that disposition of it. During
the last presidential campaign many of
Gne republican stump speakers Sald
that il the republicans got control of the
government they would get rid of the sur
plus by means of pensions, anu it is not at
all improbable that they will attempt some
thing of that kind. This congress will be
asked to pass some pretty big pension bills,
and the chances are that it will respond in
the affirmative. Every northern man seek
ing reelection will court the ex-soldier
vote. There is no surer way to get that
vote than to buy it with money from tae
treasury

The New York Herald published the
other day letter from President Harrison
TO Mr.. Blaine, prior to the Inauguration,
the chief point of interest of which was
the Presidents statement that Mr.. Blaine
needn't come to indianapolis to see him.
The World charges that the Herald bought
the letter from the proprietor of a restau-
rant in New York, who had previously OBJ
tanned it from former waiter at the Hotel
Normandie in Washington, and that the
waiter stole it from Mr.. Blaine's room. The
letter seems to have created considerable
sensation, although it contained nothing of
special political significance.

The recent illness of Mrs Harrison is
thought to be the cause of the renewal of
the discussion concerning a new executive
mansion. The white house is said to be in
such condition as to make it undesirab ble as
an abode, aud Mrs. Earrison's illness is
attributed TO its unhealthfu.ness During
the last ten wears three or four bills have
been introduced in cong ress looking to the
building of new executive mansion, the
amounts proposed for sucl purpose rang
ing from S?50,OOO to S75O,OOO, but somehow
or ether they were defeated. II the
country needs a new executive mansion, it
ought to build it without dilly -dallying.

Oh, when she died, the bloom of flowers
Departed, and on Life's smile fell
A languor, dark grew all the hours
And no more Beauty breathed her spell
When she died.
Oh, when she died, Songs voice grew faint,
And from her throne Joy fed in tears;
Upon the air was heard Grief's plant
In tones to haunt all future years
When she died
Oh, when she died, the world for one
Grew desolate as starless night;
Hope no more breathed her benison
And Time went by with laggard plight

In Need of Facts.

Mayor Bryan, of Charleston, was inter
viewed by the NelCs and Courier a day or
two ago about the relative merits of Port
Royal, Savannah and Brunswick for the
proposed navy yard. He is reported to
have said: "One OF the essential features in
selecting a site for q navy yard is to place
it so taat it will not be in reach of heavy
guns that could be brought to bear upon it
from outside the harbor. Port Royal is the
only place on the South Atlantic coast
where, if this important contingency is
taken i0to consideration, the navy yard
could be built. Heavy guns could not
reach the navy yard from outside the tar,
and hence it is a safe place. IL a navy yard
should be built at either Hutchinson's Island
or Brunswick" said Mayor Bryan, at
could easily be reached by the heavy
guns from an eaemys vessel
anchored outside the harbor."
Charleston's mayor ought to travel
down the cast aud make himself ac-
quainted with Charleston's sister cities.
The distance outside the Port Royal bar to
the place where it is proposed to build the
navy yard, is about thirteen miles The
distance from the Savannah bar to Hutch
inson's Island is about seventeen miles. 1t
would seem, therefore, that Mayor Bryan
is not well posted respecting the coast har-
bors. Doubtless Brunswick is able to show
that she is not more exposed to heavy guns
than is Port Royal. Does Mayor Bryan
know Of any guns that are dangerous at
the distance of seventeen milesi
The morning news., 1889-03-28

In view of the fact that the Augusta
Chronicle is advocating Port Royal in
preference to Savannah for the proposed
navy yard the question is being asked in
this city whet or or not there is a move
ment to move Augusta across the river.

A bill granting the right of suffrage to
women has been introduced in, and defeated
by, the New York legislature at every ses-
sion Of that body since 1884. 1t suffered
another defeat the other day, but the ma
jority against it was only 49, the vote stand
ing So against, and 4S for it. 1t is intima-
ted that but for the apparent Indifference
of some who have heretofore been among
its most active supporters, the bill would
probably have been passed by the House.
The women can try again next session. They
appear to have good deal of patience and
perseverance,, and perhaps in a hundred
years or so they will be rewarded.

Col. Fred Grant lost no time in qualify
