The Original Tariff Smasher.

~ Mr.. SPRINGER and Mr.. MORRISON are not
closer than the Siamese twins at present,
but the former has wit enough to see on
which side his bread is buttered. His i'm
pulRive and poetical temperament some
times leads him into making nominations

has In Gen. PALMER a candidate immense

MORRISON Is the man before all others,
and justice and decency should urge his
I nomination. He set out to burst the

etstter soldiers In the tariff-smashing squad.
Mr.. MORRISON, II he will lend us figure

ascertalned months ago, II he had desired 90
to do. that the whole appropriation for the
Park Department. by the Board OF Estimate
and Apportionment for 1889 was only ssos 900
or about one-twelfth OF the sum mwhich his bull
letin states as tho administrative expendi-
ture Of this department. Besides this. there
was $4,000 for tho museums, an item which
would be excluded from PoRTER's idiosyn-
cratic reckoning Of purely administrative
expenditures. on the same principle as IL
braries. For purposes OF comparison with
other cities. therefore, $s6so00 is the item
which should stand In the place into which
PORTER has tuggled his $lo.o75,925. This Is
about oue-third more than Boston's charge
according to PORTER. and double Philadel-
phia's, but 1t makes marvellous difference
in the comparison per capita.
These two man9uvres OF fraudulent
statlstics--the understatement OF popula-
ton by about 100000. and the overstatement
OF administrative expenditure by about
$4,000 0Oo-enable Mr.. ROBERT P. PORTER
to add SSH to New York's per capita in his
comparative table. The exposure and correc-

Musings by the Seaside.

During President HARRIsoN's six weeks
stay at Cape May changes OF a renovating
character are to be made in the White
House. The walls are to be freshly papered,
the ceilings painted. the carpets shaken,
the lambrequins busted and mended,
the halls scrubbed, the leaks In the root
plugged. and the blinds pulled down. The
newly graded approaches to the Executive
Mansion will be raked out new varieties of
JERRY RUsK plants will be introduced into
the conservatory, and new suits of ready
| made clothing will be furnished to those
| servants whose raiment is of an official
nature. Everything will be frightened,
from the coal bin to the uppermost flag
pole, including the chandeliers IN the East
Room, the window curtains in the Blue
Room. and the door mat In the lower hall.
While these alterations are prosecuted with
taste and skill, and the official home OF the
Presidents made more habitable, BENJAMIN
HARRISON will remain at Cape May listening
to the sad sea waves flung by the Atlantic
against the Jersey coast, and dreaming per-
haps OF benefits which these changes will

1t not be better thing all around for the peo-

shore. and to bring him to iorgetfulness re-
garding the labors OF the decorators and
mechanics at the capital, who are now I'm

Valuable rs the Presidents musings
may be to him and to tho Republican

cerned In the frultion or eYacement OF his
plans, tho Democrats In every part Of the
country feel still deeper concern in the

however. simply served TO increase the num-
Der OF pilgrims, who have suffered terribly
while in transit by steam while their Ills ON
the road to Mecca and at tho Holy City have
only been aggravated by the greater numbers
who have undertaken the pilgrimage. 1t Is
very likely that the civilized Governments

Serious ofenses Against Royalty.

''He is a fne-looking fellow" said an
Austrian lady not long ago, as she
looked at his highness the Archdul1e
Franz Ferdinand in his carriage. Her
remark reached the ear of the public
prosecutor, who, deeming the word
''fellow" disrespectful, ordered her ar
rest, and she was sentenced to six
months imprisonment. The lady was
rich enough to be able to appeal to the
supreme court in Vienna, which or
dered her release. When the emperor
of Austria recently visited Reichem-
berg, a woman who was kept out of a
street through which the emperor was
to drive grew inpatient and exclaimed:
''Es list III dumm!'' lit is too stupid).
She was instantly arrested for con-
tempt of royalty and sentenced to
three months Imprisonment In Aus
tria it is an indictable offense to neg
lect saluting the emperor when he APP
pears in public. A few weeks ago a
university student in Vienna was ar
rested for this offense, of omission.
He only got off by pleading that the
sight of the emperor so dazed him that
he lost all his presence OF mind.-Chi-
