ClarksOn Tells Why Harrison Appointed Elkins

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Chairman James S.
Clarksou, Of the Republican national COM
mittee, this morning gave what he alleges
10 be President Harrison's reasons for the
appointment Of S. b. Elkins as secretary
of war. The story as given by Clarkson
negatives the stories printed about Elkins
having been Blaine man. Elkins has
been Harrison man since before the
nomination of the President, said Clark
son, and mad he at the time had permau-
ent residence he would have been an orig
inal member of the cabinet. Contrary to
popular belief Elkins led the Harrison
forces at the convention aud he was the
brains, energy, and electricity of the Har-
rison supporters and he carried with MIN
promises made by Harrison. This may
look bit queer but it is nevertheless true

giories of the carnival as well, and the
Krewe was but a brilliant memory 10
many-an eagerly expected novelty to
some.
That singular society, SO secret in its
membership and methods, yet so benef-
icent and gracious in its results, was
popularity surrnised to embrace the fash
ion and highest culture of the Creecent
City, az it surely did her wealth and her
artistic sense. But they who composed
it had lost riches, comrades, all save
honor, in the stress and struggle of those
bitter years; and they had not chosen
'.to make a Roman holiday" with the
grass yet ungrown ON graves of kith and
kin. Indeed, to the present day those
tasteful pictured emblems sent to their
elect in many distant city have borne
blank circles with those years, from 1861
to 1886. when the only revel was the red
one dedicated to Mars. IL
But once again the great Krewe was
to crown the carnival with one Of its
elitterfng pageants; and round that
event centered the keenest and most
curious anticipation of all the holiday.
For, mysterious in all things, these
unique mystic societies of the chief cities
never advance the slightest hint of what
that subject theme may be which they
ever illustrate with tact and taste and
brilliance that can be appreciated only
by being seen.
Bot meantime the true carnival spirit
ruled the hours. Grotesque costumes Of
every nationality known, of many de-
signs quite unknown; bizarre monstroe-
tiles or cleverly initiated shapes OF
beasts, birds and even fishes, giittering
srmors and cheap dominoes were met on
every hand. Some went to their frolic
singly, some in pairs or in groups of
x-rsiag size. Most were on foot, but

never breaks upon a sleeping city, ana
New Orleans was early astir, with that
unique buzz and furry which so exceed
buzz and furry elsewhere, when once
your Creole population does get wide
awake. And nothing wakes her so very
wide as the carnival fiesta.
This one. after long abstinence, was
peculiarly exciting; and far west into
the Americanized city, away east through
quaint old Frenchtown, carnival echoes
rang and carnival sights greeted the eye
ON every side.
The entire population, home and tram
sient, seemed to have beaten the sun out
Of bed, and before he wiped the mists
from his forehead maskers thronged the
streets in ante-bellum number and va
riety. For the carnival was on in al its
general aspects, if not with all that Law.
ish expenditure Of taste and money
which makes the displays of the Mystick
Krewe of Comus unique in brilliance
and in beauty throughout the world.
Public Mosques, singly and in groups,
on foot or mounted in saddle or vehicle,
would prevail; masquerade balls of ey-
cry grade, from decorous dance to reck-
less romp, would be held, and universal
levity of public revel, strangely re-
strained by influence Of habit and blithe
but rarely vicious temperament, on the
hither side of license, would sway the
hours from morn til midnight. But the
first stroke of 10, in warning OF Ash
Wednesday, would drop the mask from
sinner and saint alike, sending all to
their knees for a penitential season of
ths foods duration, with Sundays
thrown in pour lagniappe, as the Creole
saith. #.a#sN .-a#
And, to crown the whole, the Mystick
Krewe would give its first pageant
through the streets in five long sonber
years.
Since its mysterious origin. In 1857.
that venerable lodge Of mummers had
annually given entertainment, instruc-
ton and delight to residents and visit
ing thousands, in q series of masked pro-
SESSIONS, steadily growing in grandeur
of conception and richness of display.
