HITTING HARRISON.

a sudden change seems to have come
over the spirit of the Republican dream,
and it is all oecasioned by President
HARR1soN's disposition to uphold civil
service reform. The hungry Office
seekers are not pleased with the out
look, and as result they are uniting
their efforts to bring the new president
TO his senses. During the late cam
palgn GROVER CLEVELAND was ar
raigned by every Republican speaker on
charge of having belied his promises
to strictly enforce the principles of civil
service reform. and the promise was
freely given that in the event of HAIR
RIsoN's election the people of this
country would witness practi-
cal Illustration OF what civil SER
vice reform meant Now that
President HARRISON manifests a
disposition to fulfill the promises of his
campaign managers they are jumping
on his neck. They supposed, as mat
ter of course, he understood it to be a
blind, and that he was not expected to
carry out the promise. In their eager
ness to convince him of his error, they
are pointing him to the fact that Mr..
CLEVELAND was an honest civil serv-
ice reformer. and that it was his efforts
in that direction which cost him his re-
election.
1t remains to be seen whether Gen.
HARRISON can be swayed from his posi-
ton by the threats of his party leaders.
While we hope to see him remain firm,
we confess to lack of confidence in his
ability to do so.

access to the city over Minnesota point

the same position for the Duluth Ter

The Inauguration Committee Re.
Z ports Surplus of $4,000.

f. WASHINGTON, March Capt. George
E. Lemen, chairman of the finance COM
mittee. inaugural ceremonies, has COM
pleted his report as follows: Receipts
from sale of ball tickets, S5S, ,23O; from
supper, So, 1856. There were 15,SO7 per-
sons who attended the promenade con-
certs on the day following the ball, and
the committee realized from this source
S7,9O3.50. Extra souvenirs were sold to
the amount of 1870 so, which, with the
guarantee fund of $50, 100 paid in previ-
Gus to the ball, makes a total of re-
ceipts S121 ,546.50, adding thereto the
amountreceived from the sale of priv
ileges, $500, swells the grand total of
receipts to S125,O46.50. There will be a
surplus of $4,000 above the guarantee
fund and expenses. Already there is
some discussion as to the disposal
OF this surplus. Some of the members
are inclined to distribute it among the
charities of the city. Two of the MEM
bers of the committee favor using the
surplus as nucleus of fund for the
erection OF grand public hall in the
city suitable for the meeting of large
conventions or for holding entertain
mentS like the inaugural ball. A
gratifying fact connected with the bali
is that, contrary to precedent, the COM
mittee will not have to pay a cent to
the caterer. The committee guaran-
teed that he should get $4,000 for the
supper. His receipts were S6,4OO, or
500 more than the guarantee. Mr.
BrittOn, as chairman of the inaugural
ton committee, to-day, received letter
OF thanks and cOngratulation from Vice
President Morton.

A MERIrED COMPLIMENT.

The nomination of Senator VooR-
HEEs Dy mis- Democratic associates in
the senate for the Office of president
pro TEN. of that body was a compliment
well bestowed, and fit recognition of
the distinguished services Mr.. VooR-
HEEs has rendered his party through a
long public career. For thirty years
DAN VOORHEES, has been conspicuous
figure in national politics, and during
all that time he has never sweryed
from true Democratic principles. He
was in congress at time when there
was only handful Of Democrats to
back him, and yet he stood like
bulwark in defense of COLI
stitutional government when the
radical legislation proposed by the
Republican majority was making a
fearful invasion upon the constitution.
His eloquentvoice has always been heard
pleading in behalf of popular rights, and
since his elevation to the senate Mr..
VOORHEES, has been one of the most
active Democratic workers in that body.
He is typical Western man, IN full
sympathy with the people, and recog-
nized as their most brilliant champion
on the stump. The honor bestowed on
him yesterday is not so barren as may
seem at first glance, for while il does
not make him the presiding officer of the
senate, it does make him his party's
leader on the floor Of the senate cham

An American Fenian Spy Testi.

LONDON, March AT the sitting of
the Parnell commission to-day an ex-
American Fenian named Coleman, now
residing in Ontario and employed by
the Canadian Pacific railroad, detailed
the Outrages in which he took part
while he was in Ireland. He stated
that Macauley told him that the league
had paid him (Macauley) e20O for shoot
ing Burke. On cross examination Cole
man testified that he came from Amer
ica of his own accord to give evidence
before the commission. Nobody
had promised him money. He had
received $1,000 from the govern
ment for acting as a spy in America.
With this money he bought property in
Winnipeg. Mr.. SoameS, the Times's
solicitor testified that Walsh said he
could produce documents to prove that
Messrs. Parnell and O'Kelly were con-
nected with the importation of arms
into Ireland, but he did not know
Walsh's whereabouts. Laughter At
torney General Webster applied for an
adjournment until Tuesday, on the
ground that two important witnesses
for the Times were ill. The court
granted the application and adjourned

THE GREAT BANANA BELT.

A statesman from Dakota lay sick, nigh unto
sf death;
whisky on his breath;
And bell boy stood beside him while he
Us tried in accents thick.
10 tell the why's and wherefores of his being
rs beastly sick.
The dying statesman trembled, and his hair
-.,e began to kink,
And he said, Il never more will take another
- blasted drink.
Send 9s postal card to Betsey and say how bad
For live in North Dakota the great banana
- belt.
.'Tell her not to weep for me and get her nose
nj all red.
But stiffen well her upper lip and overeheck
~ her head;
For the old man was a statesman and not
afraid to die
{You might omit my record here for drink
ing rock-and-ryel-
Tell her not to wait too long. but jump at the,
To marry snybody who will let her wear the
pants:
And tell her have ne'er forgot how glad she
When 1 left old North Dakota. the great
banana belt.''
His voice grew faint and weaker, but his
breath kept just as strong
And il the bell-boy thought that he was
dying he was wrong;
For he opened wide his crimson eyes in
about half an hour
And sent the lad down stairs to get another
whisky sour.
Then soon the statesman was himself,
bright and shining light.
Drinking cocktails all the morn an playing
draw all night:
And now his sad constituents relate how
bad they felt.
When they saw him coming back to the

Ella Wheeler Wilcox says she wrote

Admiral Porter and his wife will cele-

But there is A flavor of aristocracy as

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. Lucy

woman without the Endorsement of the

folks is to be dropped as a weapon.
The rumor that the poet Whittier in

rest by the following note sent to a

AS thee rightfulIy says, it is scarcely

out foundation. The time has long
passed when such "trip would have
been practicable or desirable. At my
age one travels easiest by proxy. Thine
