Jefferson and Florence were given q
little supper in Omaha the other night.
"Lounger" in the Bee thus gives us q few
of the good things Joe Jefferson said:
"The Governor" MS everybody in the
company calls Mr.. jefferson, was in good
spirits and undoubtedly enjoyed the COM
panionsbip of the occasion.
Mr.. Jefferson was dressed in black with
the rigorous eXactness as to detail of
professional man of high rank. His
smooth shaven. irregular featured face
looked thin when contrasted with the
broader one of his vis-a-vis, Mr.. Florence.
But there was delightful look of rosy
health about the ideal Bob Acres, and Il
sparkle in his kindly, deep blue eys that
could not help but fascinate the spectator.
There is even little sign among the sandy
hair of the touch of time, and about his
form, outside the stoop of the student,
there is little to suggest that Mr.. jefferson
has passed the sixties along the highway
of n busy life.
"Well, no man could have been more
surprised at the success Of the book than
have been.
"Not until last year did ! know that
Pangloss came from the French" said
Mr.. jefferson. II had occasion to 20 to
Mr.. Sargents studio in New York to
talk over with the artist a picture he in
tends to paint of me in the part of DR..
Pangloss, and it was then that Mr.. Sargent
told me that Pangloss was not original
with Coleman but with Voltaire. :.
"Actors have traditional regard for
Shakespeare" said Mr. jefferson. THAT
time cannot wither nor custom stale
ITO me it seems especially ludicrous
that Shakespeare could have taken time
to have inserted in his plays cryptogram
or whoever wrote the plays of Shakes
peare-settng forth that Bacon had writ
ten them, rs Mr.. Donnelly alleges he
did do.
''l'or centuries he has continued to be
the great source of dramatic inspiration
and will so continue for centuries to come.
~ have an idea about this controversy
which ] think is new--certainly | have
never seen it in print-and it is this:
Bacon was q sonneteer; so was Shakes
peare. Now, doesn't IL seem strange that
Bacon should have selected the poorest of
his sonnets to which he gave his name
and credited Will Shakespeare with the
best?
"In Elisa's time the maker of sonnets
was looked upon as genius and 1t occurs
| to me that if Bacon had written all that
he is credited with by the Baconians he
would have saved for himself the beauti-
ful bits of versihcation which appear in
Shakespeare.
Consider that the greatest domestic
comedy Of all time, The Merry Wives of
Windsor, was written by Shakespeare.
AS he also wrote the greatest tragedy,
Julius Cwsar;' the brightest romantic
comedy, AS You Like IT. the greatest
melodrama, The Winters Tale;' the
greatest domestic tragedy, 'Othello.'
u am looking forward TO the time
when can get into a corner and absorb
some Of the literature of the age. Until
now, with acting, painting, fishing, farm
ing and writing | have had little time to
read the things which other people dis
cllss so learnedly."

No Omces for Negroes.
From n, Atlanta Constitution.

FROM IRE Atlanta Constitution.
A negro paper in Boston has requested
Mr.. Benjamin Harrison to appoint rep
resentativc of the negro race Secretary Of
the Treasury, and IL insists on thisreq,est
with such righteousness that II has at
tracted attention. Some of the newspa-
pers are commenting on the matter, but
they are chiefly papers that do not thor
oughly, .sympathize with the party to
which Mr.. Harrison belongs,
II is interesting TO observe the dignifcd
reserve with which the Republican organs
treat this proposition of n negro. editor. to
make negro Secretary of the Treasury.
They treat the affair with cool disdain,
and refuse to discuss il in any shape. And
yet the suggestion of the. negro editor Is
not altogether unreasonable. ltis at least
worthy of Republican consideration.
Here Is a voting element which, leaving
the attitutc of the Southern negroes alto.
gethcr out Of the question, has held the
balance of power for many years in Ohio,
Indiana Illinois and in New York, when-
ever there has been a division of the
Democrats. II is an element that could
be counted on at all times and in all con-
tingcnces. II needed no arguments to
convince. 1t; no campaign work to con
firm its dull views and IL has demanded
no share of the campaign Doodle.
Nor is this all. This negro Republican
element has voted faithfully and blindly
in spite of the fact that the Republican
party has consistently and persistently re-
fused TO place il on level with the white
element Of the party so far as holding
Office is concerned. The Republican view
is that the negro is good enough TO vote
for the Republicans, but is not good
enough to share in the spoils Of Office; and
il is view which the shecpish subscr-
vience of the negro voters in the States
where they hold the balance of power be-
tween the two parties has abundantly
justified.
These negro Republicans, whose votes
are of vital Importance to the success of
their party. have been taught TO believe
that the offices are for the white voters,
and whenever q negro protests he is
kicked into silence, not only by the
whites, but by the voters of his own
color. No Northern negroes have ever
held any important office. The exception
of Fred. Douglass, and one or two who
have been grudgingly elected to the Legis-
lattre of Ohio, proves the rule.
The Republican theory is that the negro
voters have no business in office, and the
subservience of the negroes themselves
goes far TO show that the Republicans are
right The foreign voters are duly repre-
sented in office in proportion to the inn
portancc of their vote, but the native-born
negro is fatty told that he ought to be
thankful for the privilege of voting to
keep the corrupt Republican party in
power.
As to the suggestion that u negro be
made Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. IIar-
rison and his party will be justified by the
attitude of the negroes themselves in re-
sarding it as ahuge joke.

A Senatorial Goblin.

zone evening some years ago" says the
Boston Transcript, there walked into the
office of famous hotel in Boston most
singular apparition. II looked like a man;
at any rate. it wore clothes, but these
clothes consisted of a singular gray frOck,
belted around the waist and having full
skirts, Of a loose, baggy pair of trousers,
Of coarse shoes, and Of rather wide
trimmed hat of curious architecture.
There was also a long, pointed beard and
there were hollow cheeks and keen eyes.
Its general appearance was almost exactly
that of the queer Dutch goblins who roll
the ten-wn balls and produce the thun-
ders ON the mountain in Grip Van
Winkle.n
The figure seized the hotel register and
quickly swung II around 10 write in IT,,
The clerks both started back in mock
alarm. For heavens sake Bill,p said
one, aloud, to the other, "what is it?'
'Iilest IL know" said the other; where
did IL blow from?' The figure paid no
attention to this conyulsingly funny dia-
logue, but turned the book around, indi.
eating the signature; and the astOnished
clerks read civilian Malone, u. $. s.,

taCt.

Prizes offered for Essays On the Sub
.ject.
The great importance Of improved high
ways has attracted so much interest of

causes of the poor roads existing in much
of our country, the best systems of road
making, reconstruction and maintenance,
including cheaper methods suited to dirt
roads us well AS methods for permanent
r0adways, the best systems of street inn
provement, the systems of taxation that
should be employed in both country and
city to distribute Justly the burden Of road
and the legislation that is required to
further these ends.
The road laws of the United States as
compared with those Of foreign countries,
should be discussed and relative faults
and excelcncies pointed out In general
the essays should be as directly helpful as
possible toward the Improvement Of our

dial to the nation, an insult to the honest,
disabled veteran soldier. The evil has
grown till it has assumed mammoth pro-

fear that protest may cost them the SOL

deserving pensioners are with the people
in this matter, and are anxious to stop
the raid upon the National Treasury.

INTERSTATE coNMrRcE. COMMISSION.
A Decision Governing Railroad Rates
on Wheat and Flour.

n bct1StOu Governing ftttlfOHu hUtfS
on Wheat and Flour.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day made public sn opinion prepared
some time ago by Commissioner schoon-
maker, in which is announced the de-
csion in the case of the Kaufman Mill
ing Company of st. Louis, Mo-, against
the Missouri Pacific Railway Company
and nineteen other railroad companies.
The rate on flour from points in Missouri
and Kansas to points in Texas Is five cents
higher than the rate on wheat transported
between the same points, and has been
from five to fifteen cents higher for fit-
teen years or more up to 1886, when the
difrcrential was fixed at five cents. Rates
on both commodities are grouped without
reference to distance. The complaint
claimed that rates on wheat and flour
should be equal
The commission decides that, under the
conditions existing In tho territory in
question, rate of five cents less per hum
drcd pounds on wheat than on flour Is not
unlawful, but that a differentfal exceed
ing five cents per hundred pounds works
unjust discrimination and is unlawful.
The decision only applies to the present
situation in the territory in question and
Is not intended to lay down permanent
rule for the future, nor TO apply elsewhere
Questions that may arise in case uniform
classification is established are reserved,
and the principle is laid down that an ex-
ception to general rule of classification
or rate making may be justified by ade-
quate considerations in view of dissimilar
conditions in different portions of the
country and when rigid application Of
general rule would be injurious to inn
portant public interests.
The opinion also states that the power
of Congress to regulate commerce among
the States is absolute, and rates on such
authority with reference to trade condi-
tions and circumstances of localities with
out infringing the rights or immunitics of
such commerce under the Constitution.

Ir rs BECOMING more and more evident
that Washington needs great audto-
rum, constructed ON modern principles
and supplied with all the accessories de-
mandcd by modern civilization. With
each year Washington receives additional
recognition as the social, political and in
tellectual centresof the nation. It is here
that our great associations prefer to as
semble; here that organized bodies natu-
rally gravitate. We have not the space in
which to enumerate even the half of the
s9cieties, philosophc, religious, moral,
scientific, industrial, etc, which flourish
In the United States and each year in
crease in usefulness and influence,
but it is safe 20 say that nine
tenths of them prefer Washington
as the scene Of their great annual
conferences, and that all of them would
to so We're they provided with suitable
conveniences therefor No other city pre-
sents so many attractions to the intelli-
gent and patriotic citizen. In no other
can delegates, in the intervals Of their
labors find 50 many and such profitable
recreations. Unquestlonably, an insttu-
tion of the kind we mention would add
enormously to the equipment of WASH
ington as national resort, nor is there
any doubt that it would yield very hand
some returns 20 its projectors. We recom-
mend this to the consideration of our en-
terprising capitalists. II offers both profit
and renown.

victed of writinga clever book. The spec
tacle Of coteric of the descendants of q
lot of successful peddlcrs sitting in sol
cmn conclavo upon the eligibility of one
of their number found guilty of cleverness
would seem to indicate that the standard
of dullness is to be maintained at all

pected Of having more brains than are
