A DULL RECEPTION.

The first presidential New Years recep.
ton under the Harrison administration be
gan little late but ended forty minutes
before1he hour fixed The curtalment of
|fthe time was not made necessary by the
Exhaustion of the ladies. They had moth
ing mere to do and simply quit. In other
words, there was no rush to do courtesy
TO the Harrison family. Republicans may
affect what in credulity they like about Mr..
Cleveland's popularity, but none of his re-
ceptions ia the White House or elsewhere
were closed ahead of time for want of call
ers. Washington is not fond of the Harri-
sons. They are not great, are not winning
of manner and are not familiar with higher
official etiquette. Amy one OF these quail
ties would give them some social distinc'
ton. The absence of all renders them both
unimprsssiye and uninteresting.
President HARRISON is probably the only
maj. who ever went into the White House
am aid there ten months without having
towing Of some kind outside of his rela
lives, not one of whom is anything but a
Harrison relative; he has not even a faction
at his back Republicans like him less than
Democrats because they are responsible fol
him. He has not said or written word
which helps their party or dignitics him as
leader. He is personally narrow, cold
selfish and sordid. The American citizen
who goes TO Washington is languid about
a Call ON the chief magistrate and Repub
~Gcan Senator or Congressman generally
INCOMES his aversion 10 an interview by d
4lS5k warming stimulant before sending
his card Mr. Harrison seems to have the
knaek of the frog-of being cold and repul
sive without the venom TO inspire fear Oh
the activity to make his presence felt. His
torians will search long before they can
connect his birth with IA star OF destiny
He has occupied two high positions with
out deserving or adjoining either, That i:
the only remarkable thing about his life.
1t is rather depressing npon the whole
nation 10 think that its official head is lc
garded with such mingling of contempt
and indifference that the chief State recep
ton of the year is closed forty minutes
ahead Of time, because there are no callers
. Ia ssecupy the attention OF the ladies.

If Northern journals derive any spe-
cial pleasure from asserting that Gen.
Lee was drawn into the war against
his will, well and good. The pleasure,
it may be, will be enhanced by the as
surance that every true Southern man
was drawn into the war against his will.
Men went into the Confederate army be-
cause their homes were INVADED, and
those who went otherwise we're not men
Of the stamp of Lee, Albert Sidney
johnson and Stonewall Jackson. How
ever men may differ as to the business of
a cause he who is true to his convictions
is hero, whether he wore the blue or
the gray, and none need grudge him the
tribute paid to heroism.

says:
Much important business was handled to day
Among other things they gave magnificent in
dorsement of the News-iust think of it-a vote
of 30 to 8; done not because an opponent might
have been pro-Hogg paper. There were no
politics in it whatever.
If there was no politics in it why did
the News deem it necessary to say
there was not? The man who kicks be-
fore he is spurred excites the suspicion
that he should be spurrsd. Why was the

politics in its selection as organ of the

THE GAzETTB's report of the Spring Palace
burning differs widely from the report given by
the News. In the GAZETTE nothing is said Of
the death of any one save the contractor, Al S.
Hayne, while the News speaks of the great loss
of life. Nothing definite seems to be known by
those who are on the ground. and reports are
made so conflicting that little of what is now
given to the public may be regarded as true
Temple Times.
This shows the evil of reckless report
ing. The FIRST report sent TO the Dallas
News from this place Friday night, May
80, was an inexcusable sensationalism,
cruel and heartless. There are people
ir Texas even who yet believe more lives
were lost than one. That telegram to
the News carried terror to the homes Of
all who read that paper, and, as the
shove extract shows, leaves many still
in doubt as to the truth.

MARY ANDERSON has written a charm
ing letter to relative in this country
fairly bubbling with gossipy desorip-
ton of her aff1anced, whom she avows
she loyes desperately. Although the
day is not fixed, the marriage she says
will take place in September or October,
after which she will settle down to house
keeping in New York. 1t may be there
fore regarded as positive that, barring
accidents, Mary will no more adorn the
stage with her Queenly presence, or pur-
Sue further the profession which she has
done so much to honor and dignity .
That she should have fallen desperately
in love, however, will be a gratifying
surprise.

WHEN asked by the census enumsra-
tor about your maladies or your mort
cages, you may answer or not, as you
choose. The Federal constitution pro-
vides for an enumeration only, coun
of noses, and not for an elaborate system
of impairment cross-questioning for
statistical purposes Should you decline,
Census Commissioner Porter will send
you blank, asking yon TO fill in the
omitted information. You may decline
that also, although penalties are pro-
vided for refusing. 1t is extremely
doubtful, however, if you will ever hear
of the matter again, penalties and all.

Al Hayne and carried him to n

al Hayne from the building, but he

Col. CLARKsoN is Moses among the
brethren. His genesis of the patriot Is
this: Ofices make partisans and parti-
sans make patriots, and there you are,
Ebenezer, ready TO shed your gore for
the fiag-provided always that your pa
triotio veins are freely and fully nourished
by public pap. What q grand ideal! OF
course Clarkson, the apostle of plumber
and pelf land high priest in the national
councils, is fairly bursting with patriot
ism. So is the good brother Wanamaker,
who makes patriotic brooches and sells
them for patriotic prices; he too, is pa
triot, of the Clarkson school-God bless
the mark!

HERE is the rather peculiar situation
in Nebraska. The farmers up there ber
came so olamorous for railroad legisla-
tion that Governor Thayer was forced to
call the legislature together in extra ses-
sion. The call was issued only few
days ago, and the special session was to
convene June 5. Two or three days ago
legal objections TO the special session
were found, which prompted the gov
ernor TO revoke the call, and having
marched bravely up the hill, he marched
as braveIy down again. In the mean
time the farmers will have to wait for

AN ex-railroad attorney, who opposes
a commission. can be just as good
Democrat as railroad attorney or any
other man who favors commission, but
no better. The Democracy was founded
to take all men in its folds on a basis of
political equality. Mr.. Cleveland says
the farming and laboring classes are es-
sentially Democrats; Mr.. Barry, in his
remarks as printed in the Dallas News,
seems TO think they are essentially no
such thing, and no declaration of faith
is to be accepted from them. A test
found sufficient in the Democratic party
for century, and now found sufficient
in every state in the Union, is good
enough, and this same test of political
faith should be applied to all alike-to the
banker and hod carrier, to the lawyer
and farmer, to the railroad director and
mechanic. Any man may declare him
self the only simon-pure Democrat or
the only simon pure baking powder man,
but the world need not concede It.

.1oUPy4LIsM AS A BUSINESS.

Few readers of newspapers have any
we'll defined idea of the business features
in newspaper work, and that each month
larger sums Of money are paid out than
in almost any business employing the
same number of men. Only those on
the inside can appreciate the many COM
plication of the business, nor how nicely
balanced must be all departments in
order to make successful paper. The
scale that weighs the coin of the realm
is not more nicely adjus ted. The weight
of hair, it is said, will disturb that
balance; breath will affect the balance
in the newspaper and that breath hum
dreds OF miles from the ledger.
Some idea of the cost of large paper
may be gathered from statistics to be
found in the current number of the
Century Mr.. Camp, the author Of the
paper, quotes on the authority of one of
the most successful journalists of this
country, the total journalistic product of
a year at sl0o 900 900, and estimates the
amount paid out by publishers for the
gathering of news at SIG, $50, 900. The
bills that are given for white paper and
for composition are startling, and leave
not a vestige of doubt in candid mind
that the Newspaper industry is a gigantic
business, an enterprise that to be run
successfully must be run on sound
business basis.
The comparative circulation of morn
ing and evening papers in different cities
is given in comprehensive table. One
fact is clearly eluoidated, and It is one
that bears upon newspaper en- terprises,
it is that any point, which does not by
railways compass a large scope Of
country or where there is pauoity Of
tributary population, cannot in the
nature of the case be favorable to new
journalistic ventures.
