Some of the Washington correspond
ents are fond of trying to educate the
public mind outside of Washington up to
the impression that the political aud
transient ephcmera here are setting
the social pace and can discipline society
here upon occasion. This is giving great
amusement to the quiet, conservative old
regime of residents and the Army and
Navy people. They have to smile at the
idea Of people doing so who are political
accidents, temporarily pitch-forkel into
politico-social notoriety or are parties
who have achieved fortune, and, having
failed to get into society where they coma
from, are engaged in entertaining them
selves into certain set of society here,
whose Worth gowns, barbaric splendor
OF establishment and commercial manners
tell. II should not escape the memory of
the plutocratic press that these people in
stead of marching with the Druin-Maior
in the Passing Regiment" are carrying
keg of water in the rear thereof.
