WHAT Is THE PRESIDENT ron.
ANYHOW?

The New York Herald says: Mr..
Harrison is being worn out physically,
and if his unstrung nerves produce q
degree Of irascibility the recording an
gel will remember that he couldn't do
any better himself under the same cir.
cumstsuces and tear out q page or two
from his notebook.
Three-quarters Of the Presidents time
is used up by ofice-hunters, who are ss
numerous and as bloodthirsty as Jersey
mosquitoes. The public business is no.
where; the unrewarded politician in
search of a snug berth is everywhere.
Under this vehement and voracious
spoils system the President is nothing
better than 3 grab.bag at a church fair,
into which everybody dives his hand
with the hope of pulling out a prize.
And things will rapidly grow worse IN.
til we run across a man who has grit
enough to put this notice on the door Of
his sanctum: "You mind your business
and let me mind mine!"
To become q peddler Of perquisites to
party workers and broken down, wheezy
and foundered political hacks is not
quite consistent with the dignity which
attaches to the occupant of the White
House. And yet Washington is full Of
them. Harrison cannot eat his break
fast in peace. They peep through the
door when he is taking his bath; they
chase after him when he drives ont for a
breath Of air, and on Saturday he is
compelled to rush on board 3 steamer
and get out Of sight of land in order to
enjoy . few hours Of repose.
The Democrats may have originated
the idea that to the victors belong the
spoils, but il seems to suit the tempera.
ment Of the Republicans to a nicely.
They have carried it so far that the Gov
eminent is like . four.rib roast-they de.
your the meat and make buttons out Of
the bones,

Confesses to the Murder.

An Englishman has been arrested
on the charge OF having murdered the
woman whose body was found at
Whitechapel. The prisoner has con-
iessed. He said the weapon used was
an ordinary pocket knife. He declares
that he has just arrived from abroad.
His actions indicte that he is insane.
The mans identity is carefully CON
cealed for the present by the authori-
ties. He has confessed that he muir
dered all the women whose bodies
have been found in and about the
Whitechapel district. He gave the
names OF the victims, the dates upon
which he killed them, and all the
CHASTITY and indecent details connected
with the terrible crimes. The police
believe he is a lunatic, but possibly
the story he tells is true, and hat he
is the man for whom they have so
long been searching.

Coming Into Use.

They tell US that photography is COM
ing into use among physicians. A series
Of instantaneous pictures representing
a gentleman who is enjoying an attack
Of rheumatism would be exceedingly ed
flying. The exact expression of his face
when the agony starts in with a Hoop
la" and when it has tied him up in q
bow knot would be invaluable. But
after all the photograph is the only in.
strument that can do justice to the case.
1t is not the expression of the face but
the expressions that fall from the pa.
tents lips that excite most interest.
The photograph would immortalize the
eloquent remarks of the victim when the
twinge clutches his nerves, and he would
probably be surprised at his own com
mand Of language when-during %conval-
escence-he started the machine and
listened to what he had said.

Checking Pauperism.

The worst evil in the world is not
poverty or hunger, but the want of
manhood or character which alms-giv-
ing directly occasions. The English
have tried aims until the kingdom
seems vast poorhouse, and the prob
lem of pauperism has assumed a gigan-
tic and almost insoluble form. The ma
ton have given everything but educa-
ton, and the result is vast multitude
of wretched persons, in whom pauper4
ism is planted like a disease of the
blood-who cannot be anything but de-
pendents and idlers. In London alone
$25, 000,0 900 per annum are expended in
organized charities, yet till the year
1871 no general system of popular ed
ucation had been formed.
This country has been more fortunate
and wiser. We had room and work
enough; we pro ided education before
aims, and, especially among our native
born population, have checked pauper-
ism as it never was checked before in
any civilized community No one can
imagine, who has not been familiar
with the lowest classes, how entirely de-
graded character may become where
there is an uncertain dependence ON
public and organized aims. The facul-
ties of the individual are mainly bent
on securing support by other means
than industry.

HOW TO QUELL A MOB.
The Cowardice of Crime Duty of Suppress
sion-Trained Police.

Inc CoWardice OF Crime Duty OF suppress
sion-Trained Police.
IEitz-John Porter in North American Review
Mobs are towards at first. Crime al
gays enervates. They only gain cour-
age as they find that those whose duty
1t is TO suppress them are themselves
towards. A mob is not to be feared
when it is first aroused. It is only as
IT'S passion for carnage is whetted by the
taste of blood, or its greed for piilage Ia
graft ed, that it becomes dangerous.
|. Upon whomSoeVer devolveS the duty
1f suppression let this be his first effort,
check at the very beginning; allow no
tumultuous gatherings; permit no delay;
few stern, resolute words; if these be
not needed, then strike reSoiutely,
boldly; let there be no hesitation; if
necessary take life at the outset. 1t
will be more merciful to take one life
then than to suffer the mob to take the
lives of many, or 10 be compelled to
sacrifice the innocent with the guilty at
the point of the bayonet, or IN the dis
charge Of musketry or cannon. But
the necessity to take life will not arise
unless there be inactivity and indecision
at the outset on the part of the au-
thorities
Before the time shall come when it
will be necessary to uso the musket-
ball or bayonet the opportunity will be-
afforded to suppress the riot-perhaps
at the sacrifice of few broken heads or
by the Imprisonment of some of it's
leaders
In every large city-in fact in every
city where police force is Employed
a perfect drill should prepare police
men to meet the exigencies arising from
any tumultuous assemblage of the peo-.
pie, so that, at moments warning,
these conservators of the peace will be.
ready to act, and to act understandingly
and promptly. 1t will be found that a
few determined policemen, placed in
the field at a moments notice, will
prove one of the best and most direct
methods of quelling mob. These, by
skillful maneuvers, can take mob in
flank, or in rear, or in front if neces-
sary, and so employ themselves
and their clubs that almost be-
fore the mob would Rnow what
was impelling them they would be
driven from the field of action. This
drilling, advised to be used with police
men, can also be used to excellent adj
vantage with the militia of every state,
20 that in case of emergenc.t they can
be used with as good effect s police
men.
1t has often been found, in the his
tory of the riots of this country, that
when the soldiery have been brought in
the face of mob, even the officers were
80 unacquainted with their duties as to
evince the most ridiculous ignorance of
what was required of them and of their
men in the exigency; and they and
their troops have been driven ignomin-
iously from the field. They would have
known what to do, without hesitation,
had they been in the face of an enemy;
but, surrounded as they were by a
frantic mob, they failed-and for lack
of the necessary drilling.
