ROBERT T. LINCOLN, Minister to Eng
land, leaves Chicago at an unfortunate
time. The Carter divorce case is just
arriving at the full-blown splendor Of
supertative puriency. The beautiful
Bellew has given his testimony and
Judge Smith has begun to talk Of things
which are not usually exploited in court
and which cannot be heard anywhere else
on the globe outside of Chicago. Chicago
is Just about to take In
all Of the surrounding country
to make her population larger
than the population Of Philadelphia.
There are two distinctive triumphs with
which the modest and pure western
maiden may adorn her brow. Besides
this how can Mr.. Lincoln abandon canned
meats and olemargarine for British roast
beef and alien wafles 1t is true he has
Just slowed away several Chicago ban
quets under his vest but they will not
last longer time than the voyage
between New York and London. II
must be with feelings Of the keenest
agony that he forsakes the Kinsley corn
beef hash and the varigated brands Of
Chaplin and Cores "best. " 1t will be with
the deepest remorse that he remembers
the waits Of the. Northside grip and
the penetrating perfume Of the Chicago
river while he travels about London and
hobnobs with dukes and other products
Of the country.

A CHANG. silh..,e.tn.


Treasury clerks in Washington arc being
treated to a free exhibition Of high art on the
walls of one Of the corridors, the product of
chance. OF late workmen have been kept
busy on the walls, scrnping OF the old paint,
filling up the holes with putty and repainting
again. One of the men az work on a panel
Of wall opposite tho office ot tho fourth au-
ditor in tho frst floor, west wing, happened
to scrape the old paint in such a way that the
uncovered portion made perfect silhouette
Of a womans head, with the face turned to-
ward the ceiling The patch is long and ir-
regular in shape, and the resemblance 70 a
face does not become apparent until the
northern half is covered by somo means,
when the face is distinctly recognized in a
moment
The head Is covered with a jaunty, stylish
bonnet, of the genus known as 'poke,n and
tho hair is coiled in bewitching knot at the
back of the head, the features are beautiful,
pure and classic In their outlines, the nose
rather Grecian, and the hps and chin deli
cately turned Altogether, it is quito a sigh
producing countenance, and many longing,
wistful glance has been cast at this dun
brown patch, as though the gazers thought it
a pity that such a face should be but the
chance product Of a wall scraper's knife
When the head is covered and the other end
Of the patch is shown, neatly booted foot
appears as perfect in its outlines as the head
The scrapcr says that this queer combination
Of outlines was done entirely uncorsciously
by him as he removed the paint Washing

The operation of our navigation laws,
in connection With our tariff regulations,
is very well illustrated in the case of the
City of Paris, the steamship which has
just crossed the ocean in less than six
days. Our navigation laws will not per.
nit a ship to fly the American flag unless
il is built at home. This is an attempt to
compel everybody who wishes to engage
in the carrying trade to buy ships built
IN the United States II does not, how
ever, accomplish that result. The tar
i'll makes the material for ship building
50 high that ship built in America can
not, as rule, be bought at price that
will enable the purchaser to compete sue
cessfully with the owners of ships built
on the Clyde, Our navigation laws.
therefore, are, in effect, laws to force
our citizens engaged in the carrying
trade to loose money. Such a law Is. of
course, not enforceable.
The practical effect Of the law is to
drive our people out Of the foreign carry
ing trade or to compel them to engage in il
under foreign flags. In the case Of the
City Of Paris a majority Of the stock is
owned by citizens Of the United States,
but the vessel floats the British flag.
How does that benefit the American

An old soaker stood at the corner Of
two busy streets in Chicago yesterday
and looked at the stately buildings that
stretched away into the smoky distance
in four different directions.
Il can remember, he said, when this
corner lot was offered to me for a ten
gallon keg Of whisky"

'It wasn't worth It. We had mighty

New York Evening Post.
The metropolis has given Mr.. Harri-
son the hearty reception which the Pres
ident Of the United States, by reason Of
his high Office, should always command.
II may seem ungrncious TO criticise one
who has been the city's guest and yet
truth compels the confession that the
President did not seem quite to appre-
ciate the demands Of the occasion The
proprieties required that the successor
Of George Washington should have
something more than few
words Of perfunctory commonplace to
utter when he stood on the spot where
the first President was inaugurated.
The excuse which Mr.. Harrison gave
aggravated the offense The official
duties Of an exacting character, to which
he referred, were not duties at all,
according to the standard of George
Washington, James Madison and the
other fathers of the Republic On the
contrary, they were breaches of duty,
which James Madison declared, while
George Washington was President, would
Justify the impeachment of the man
who should ever be guilty Of them
the removal Of efficient men from office
solely and 'avowedly for political
reasons. Il contend, said James Madi-
san in the First Congress, that the wan
ton removal OF meritorious officers would
subject him (the President) to impeach-
ment and removal from his own high
trust;' and he further declared that
'such abuse of power exceeds my con
ception. In 1889 a president not only
wearies himself with such abuse of po ver,
but pleads the WEAKNESS caused by com
mitting these offenses as a reason why
he could not prepare himself to make a
creditable appearance before the people
on the most impressive occasion in our

Indeed his review was in spots much
worse than the evidence itself" This is

IT seems strange that the preachers at

only way for the preacher to preserve

keep out Of politics. The preacher is liable
to the same prejudice as any other man
