A CLEVELAND INTERVIEW.
Tho Experience OF Joseph Potts of the
Washington Post.

WASHINGTON, May s.-During his recent
visit to Washington. Mr.. Cleveland stopped at
tho Arlington. and the Post OF this city. which
had always treated him with much considera-
ton, sent a reporter to interview him upon any
subject about which he might desire to talk.
The reporter who was assigned to this duty
was Joseph Potts. a well-known newspaper
man In Washington. experienced. and OF polite
manners.
Potts sent his card to Mr.. Cleveland and re-
ceived In reply an invitation TO come up.
When Potts reached the apartment occupied
by Mr.. Cleveland he found the latter engaged
in conversation with two gentlemen, one OF
whom was ex-Narshal Wilson Of the. District
Of Columbia. Mr.. Cleveland kept his back
turned TO the reporter for some time and then
about half turned his head
AS he did SO Potts bowed to him. and an
nounced himself as the Post reporter who had
sent up his card. At this announcement the
eX-President stamped his foot in anger. and.
making violent gesture with bis arm. eX-
"Oh. go away from here 1 don't want you
around. It's pity cant come to Washington
for twenty -four hours without having reporters
hanging to my coat tails.
This startling announcement to q visitor
turb the veteran reporter He cooly dropped
into chair. wrote in his note book the precise
words uttered by Mr. Cleveland. and remarked
as he retired:

i expected"

Tho Centenarlans.

The Health Department reports the death
OF fifteen individuals in New York during
1889 at the age OF 100 and over.
or these centenariaus, eleven were women,
and the oldest Of the whole number was a
woman also. She was 10 years OF age at
her death, and was a colored woman, born
In tho United States, n widow, and named
HANNAH SMITH. The next Oldest 1o7 years,
was likewise a woman and widow, named
JANE FRANKLIN, and she, too, was native
OF this country. The oldest man was PAT
RICK MURRAY, married, native OF Ireland
and resident Of this country for forty
years. Tho nativity OF tho whole fifteen
was: United States 0; Ireland Z; England,
J. and France, l.
The causes Of their death we're in nine
cases old age, and In the others pneumonia
and intestinal troubles, especially difficult
for the aged to survive; though the lie Of
Mrs. ARMINlE WILSON, n native of this coun-
trywas cut short Mt 101 by fracture Of her
leg, and Mrs. JANE FRANKLIN succumbed to
rheumatism at the good age OF 107.
We know that it is the fashion to be
skeptical as to the fact Of these great ages,
and tho Health Department does not as
sumo to present any proofs as to the
authenticity OF its statistics in this respect.
1t simply records tho age as 1t is presented;
but the tradition Of families and the mem
cries Of the centenarians themselves go far
to supply the missing data and confirm the
truth OF the years returned.
There is no doubt, too, that full vigor OF
mind and body is now preserved, on the av-
erage longer than in the past. The number
Of mon and women active in the worlds af-
fairs at ages running from 70 to 90 and more
is very great. A list Of them would include
large part OF the most fertile intellects and
enterprising spirits OF the period.
Nor Is it unreasonable to expect that the
centenarian is to be much more common in
the future than in the past. The greatest
advances of medicine are to he in the direc-
ton of prolonging life. For that the whole
world calls out, and 1t will be one OF the
most desirable Of the fruits Of civilization,
Of science, and human advancement.

A Word For Speaker Hustled.

Nothing can justify the conduct OF Mr..
Speaker Hustled in the Assembly In the ses-
sions Of Tuesday and Wednesday evening,
We have always desired to think well OF
this energetic and popular Republican states
man; but he cannot employ the official
power that is intrusted to him for the pro-
motion Of such a job as the Aqueduct BILL
or for smothering the rights Of members
upon the floor. without mourning a respon-
sibillty Of which he does not now seem to
possess an adequate conception.
Even the Tribune condemns the behavior
OF the Speaker; and we add our testimony
that in all our experience of parliamentary
tyranny and parliamentary tricks, We have
never seen anything more outrageous.

The Time for Shame.

Now that Gen. CURT1s's bill for the aboli-
ton of capital punishment has been rejected
by the judiciary Committee OF the Senate,
the Evening Post acknowledges that its
charges that the passage Of tho measure in
the Assembly was due to corrupt means are
utterly without foundation.
But, following the example OF Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND, 1t tries to get out OF the scrape by
making reporters responsible for its own
deliberate falsehoods.
Tho assumption OF certain newspaper
correspondents at Albany that the bill was
helped In its passage by tho use OF money"
says the Evening Post OF Wednesday, us
unfounded." Gen. CURTIS, as all the poo
pie know, Is an incorruptible man." 1t adds
land Is the last man to connive at or toler-
ate the use Of money for any Improper pur-
pose In the Legislature or out OF it."
Yet the Evening Post OF last Friday, after
1t had had o day in which to reflect on the
subject of the passage of the bill on Thurs
day, declared, with great solemnity and par
ticularlty, that tho vote had been purchased
by money This Is what it said in closing its
leading article:
1T 10 unexplainable except on tho hypothesis OF
downright bribery We feel all tho sense OF shame IN
writing these words that such acknowledgment In
voives but We cannot say les. II is bad enough to let
the world know what Legislature consists or but to
hold our peace would be worse"
But what sense Of shame did the de-
liberate llbeller feel when he was obliged to
take all this back, coniessing that 1t was
false and baseless, and when he undertook
to mako newspaper reporters the scape-
goats for his own transgression2

1t Approaches Its End.

The abolition of capital punishment in this
State has been put off for time, but 1t Is
only short time.
1t has been made manifest since the new
law changing the method Of execution came
into operation that great part of the pub
lie are turning with increasing aversion
from the policy Of judicial killing. They
find, too, that instead of the death penalty's
lettering from murder, the crime OF murder
is rather Increasing. 1t Is possible to-day
and not very difficult to hire men in New
York to commit murder for few dollars.
The theory is that fear OF the gallows re-
strains lnen from murder, but where Is tho
evidence that 1t is so in fact? Why should
IT be so, when experience shows the criminal
that there Is no crime which practically
enjoys so great impunity as the crime OF
murder? Juries who would not hesitate to
convict pickpocket, are loath to convict O
murderer on evidence far more conclusive.
Therefore capital punishment, though
prescribed by the law, is rarely adminis-
tered Probably not one murderer in ten Is
hanged in the Uuited States, and the escape
OF tho rest, most of them entirely unscathed,
must afford encouragement to violence.
IhoiO eio t"iSo 81 many lJHShihko an 'aik-
ings, and tho number OF the innocent ex-
ecuted prisoners is fixed proportion In the
statistics OF crime.
Tho talk about the necessity OF the death
penalty for the prevention of crime Is the
same old talk which delayed the abolition Of
the cruel punshments of past periods. As
Judge ARMOUR showed the Senate Jundi-
ciAry Committee every stop toward the re-
duction Of the number Of crimes punishable

The Case of A Fat Liar.

Mr.. GoDKIN Of the Evening Post is giving
some attention to the case of youth named
JOSEPH LYNCH whose peculiarities OF con-
stltution combine obesity and mendacity to
such a degree that JOE is as false as he is
fat, and as fat rs he is false. According to
Mr.. GoDKIN. this boy is only ten years old
and weighs over one hundred and eight
pounds; and it appears that he can tell what
is untrue with calm dignity and physical
tranquility seldom II ever before observed
in q child OF his years. The subject is treat
ed by Mr.. GoDKIN in the Ecening Post under
the heading, "A Fat Boys Elaborate Lie"
In pursuing tho line OF investigation indi-
Gated by the case Of JOSEPH LYNCH, the ed-
tor Of the Evening Post can render to science
a service which he should not hesitate to
undertake. In that fascinating borderland
where the boundaries OF physiology and
psychology interblend, there is no richer
field for exploration than the obscure rela-
lions between physical vices OF assimilation
and moral degeneracy. Has JOSEPH grown
falser in heart and tongue as he has grown
fatter, and because he has grown fhtter !?
Are the misplaced and excessive deposits Of
adipose vesicles accompanied by an over
production of moral oleine and margarine,
30 to speak, clogging the veracity, crowdlng
out the better nature inherited from worthy
parents, destroying the power to dis
criminate between truth and false
hood ? Is the fat boy liar a more
elaborate liar than before he was so fat ?
Are his lies more selfish in their inspiration,
more cowardly in their intention. than they
were when he was less corpulent? Has any
systematic treatment for obesity ever been
tried in his case, and if SO. with what effect
upon his propensity to lie? What would be
the moral result Of diet treatment an ex-
ercise treatment, surgical treatment by
the horrible operation Of df0raissage. as now
practised and described by French medical
authorities? Could JOE BIO trusted to tell
the truth il he were reduced to the normal
size for lad OF his age? Are his increasing
obesity and his growing mendacity accom-
panied by any other marked symptoms Of
moral deterioration Does he show him
self more prone to use profane and indecent
language when excited?
Mr.. GoDKINs opinions on these subjects
" fortified by conscientious observation
and study, would be read wherever the Eng
llsh language is understood, and would no
doubt be translated into French, German,
Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
