The CAPE MAY COTTAGE.
The Disgrace In witch IL Has involved
President Harrison.


Fran Pgct
We think It would have been
cheaper for President Harrison, II he
had bought his house at Cape May
Point 1t would have been cheaper,
ever If he had paid $50. 600. or a
whole years salary as Chief Magistrate
Of the United States. For, although
the cottage Is worth only S2j, 900 or
$50, 600. and, although IL cost Mr.. Har.
rison not one cent, II seems to us an un.
commonly costly cottage. II has cost
Mr.. Harrison his last poor prctensions
to dignitied conception Of his high
Office
1t has cost him the respect of the few
people who tried, more for the sake of
the place he Is in than for his own sake.
to give him respect worth having. 1t
has cost him even the reputation for
manliness which belongs to every being
in trousers until he himself gets rid Of
II for II Is in Mrs. Harrison's name that
the titledeeds are drawn, and Il is be.
hind his wife's skirts that Mr.. Harrison
shields himself from the imputation of
accepting a gift which every considera.
tion of self.respect and respect for his
office should have moved him TO re-
fuse-and to refuse with scorn and con.
tempt for the men who proiTured It.
And the worst thing about that cot.
tage, the thing which will probably
make II most expensive TO President
Harrison, Is the object for which Il
was given. OF course when presents
arc given to a man in high office who
has the power 10 dispose Of other Of
fees, the natural assumption Is that he
Is expected TO make a return for the
presents in the distribution Of places
This Is the view generally taken Of
such Transactions
? President Harrison's case Is worse than
his who merely rests under the su4.
picion of having received a present
that is no better than bid for undue
and illegiiimate favor We regret 10
say that the transaction does not rise TO
this disgraceful gniiy. The men who
gave President Harrison his cottage
gave II to boom q hotel and land
speculation, aud that Is ALL
Now, Il Is bad enough for the Pres
dent Of the United States 20 take a Gift
from men who want the disposal of
patronage But for our Chief Magls.
trate TO take gift from men who want
him to act as tout for summer hotel
Is, If not quite so bad, morally speak.
ing, so infinitely lower and more de.
grading that It IS fair 10 tell Mr. Benja-
min Harrison, President OF the United
States, that the gift he has received
from Mossrs. Wanamaker, Hamilton,
DreXel and the TEST has cost him more
Than he ever before in his life paid ont
al one time And at least he might
have had the title deeds made ont in his
own name.

Treasury Disbursements.

WASHINGTON. Sept I2.-Gen. Nettleton, as
sistant secretary of the treasury, in response to
inquiries on the subject by a reporter of the AS
ISOLATED Press, to- night made the following
statement: 1.-The treasury department to-day,
in addition to its regular disbursements, which
are unusually heavy paid out 81, 3iS. OS4 ac-
count of tond purchases ami advance interest as
follows: Interest prepaid, 81 ,O63, O54; redemp-
tion of AZ S5S5 $50; purchase of per cents,
$50, 900. The per cents purchased to-day were
accepted at l25. This is the first considerable
purchase of per cents. FOR some time. and the
price paid is per cent. above that paid under
the circular of July 10. It is thought that there
may be an impression among holders OF
4 per cent. bonds that the government
has withdrawn from the market for per &c nts.
This is not fact, the treasury is ready to take
considerable amount of fours II they are to
be hBd
DUTIES DUE ON MERCHANDISE IN, BOND.
Inquiry instituted yesterday by the secretary
of the treasury developed the fact that the total
disc in bond at the port of New York on Septem-
Der l, was only Sl7. 500. OO0. Only mode. ate
portion of these goods will be subject to in
creased duty under the schedule in the new tar
if bill. These facts would seem to indicate that
the anxiety based on this feature of the situa-
ton has been largely without ounlation to
further measures OF rele, IN so far as the exist
Ing stringency reasonably be sail to be due
to the inevitable operIt.ons OF exist ng laws
governing collections and disbursements of
government revenue. The treasury de-
partment will not hesitate to apply
sCch effective remedies as the law permits and
the situation requires. The secretary Of the
treasury on his return to Washington from ew
England will be in New York tomorrow, and
will adopt such course as shall seem to him
likely and calculated to meet the difficulties as
they exist.
1t is said that one OF the minor measures of
the relief for the market that may be adopted
by the treasury will be the payment in advance
of years interest on S65, 600 QUO Of government
bonds known as currency skies.

DickerinC for Dempsey.

New YORK, Sept. 18.-Jack Dempsey, pugil-
ist, received dispatch from New Orleans to-
day, in which it was stated that the Olympic
club would offer a purse of 5000 for battle be-
tween him and Fitzsimmons. This club offered
a good purse for fight between these two men,
but Dempsey thought it was not large
enough. The Puritan club of Long Island
City went the Crescent city organization
one better by offering purse more
advantageous, and Dempsey signified his WILL
lingness to meet Fitzsimmous before this club.
Dempsey told reporter this afternoon that he
would wait to see if the Puritan club will raise
their purse before answering the New Orleans
offer, and if they were willing to put up money
enough to meet the Olympic club he preferred
staying at home and fight; if not, he would
cept the terms offered by the New Orleans club.
