THAT HARMONIOUS SHAKE.

There has dawned on the personal
horizon of New York in the last week a
new and luminous planet, Brown by
name, with the prefix Col. W. L. TO
him was born the idea of giving din
ner at which great and lasting peace
should be declared between Cleveland
and Hill. Figuratively, the lion and the
lamb were to lie down together amid
rose-tinted lights. and to the merry
accompaniment of escaping champagne
corks. 1t was big contract for Col.
Bill, and now that all is over it is deeply
humiliating to note that there is much
more amusement over the actual recontre
of the two than interest in the possible
success of the establishment of har-
mony. The metropolitan journals are
finding in the incident "more fun than a
barrel of monkeys" and elsewhere, all
over the land, newspapers who before
did not know Col. Brown of New York
from hole in the snow are now referring
familiarly to that gentleman as "the
man who gave dinner"
AS to the meeting of the two honora-
bles, reports vary. The N. Y. Times
states, that " when the guests had left the
table Mr.. Cleveland and Governor Hi
met and had long and friendly chat.
The Tribune says that "neither the gov
ernor nor the ex-president made distinc
advances towards burying the hatchet,
while the Continent claims that 81
seemed as though the two gentlemen
had buried their hatchets and wer
friends close and confiding." The Worl'
sticks to it that they "shook hand
warmly and carried on a conversation
for nearly quarter of an hour,' an
the News positively states that 6 the
shook hands in the most cordial name
and exchanged several pleasantries witt
each other" whereupon the Sun wit
unholy inquisitiveness soliloquizes:
Several pleasantries? And what in th
: name of Momus could they have been? Di
the governor poke the Prophet in the umbi
ical region and inquire about the tension c
his stufting? Did he prod his fat frien
about silver? Did he ask with humorou
solemnity after the mountain-c climber and til
progress of the Schweninger treatment? Di
t the Stuffed Prophet, in his turn, launch a
o elphantne joke at the expense of the Hol
n Smith NJ. Weed? Did he intrust to the go'
; ernor comical message to the Hon. EC
!. ward Freight Jones? Did he catch up frol
j the table dinner knife and go through IL
d motions of stabbing the governor in the bacl
l. in merry allusion to the Ceveland-Mugwum
e attempt to beat Hill in 1888, and the MOI
Y recent enterprise under the same auspices
the municipal politics of this town.
The Sun wants to know too much. b,
it is evident on the whole that Democrat
: is "getting together" after the mo
approved fashion.

SECRETARY WINDOW DEAD.
Dropped Dead from an Attack of Hear
Disease at the Banquet Table.

Dleease at UHe ohhuueU IdDlcs
Hon. William Window, secretary of
the treasury, dropped dead in Del
monico's banquet hall last Thursday
night just after concluding remarkably
able speech on currency and commercial
questions. A sudden attack of heart
disease was the cause.
He was born in Belmont county, Ohio,
May 10, 1927, received an academic edu-
cation, studied law at Mt. Vernon, Ohio,
and was admitted to the bar in 1850. In
1852 he became prosecuting attorney for
Knox county, but in 1866 he removed to
Minnesota, and soon after he was chosen
to congress from that state as Repub-
lican; serving from 1859 till 1869. In that
body he served two terms as chairman of
the committee on Indian affairs. In 1870
he was appointed to the United States
senate to fill the uryxpired term of Dan
feI s. Nyft5n, Gecsassd, .!,id lie vas subs
sequently chosen for the term that ended
in 1877. He was reelected for the one
enter the cabinet of President Garfield as
secretary of the treasury, but retired on
the accession of President Arthur in the
same year, and was elected by the Min
nesota legislature to serve the remainder
of the term in the senate. In that body
Mr.. Window acted as chairman of the
committees on appropriations, foreign
affairs and transportation, He was ap-
pointed secretary of the treasury by Pres
ident Harrison, and has since served in
that capacity. He left Washington
Thursday morning, apparently in perfect
health, to attend the banquet of the
board of trade and transportation at New
York Thursday evening.

A MIGHTY Small HOLE.

Judge Thayer of he United Statef cir
cult court has Just hJnded in decision
at st. Louis, Mo-, which reduces the con-
tract labor law to a condition of g innoc-
uous desuetude,' if we may be allowed
the expression. S. Edgar of the Glen
dale Zinc works,t Carondelet, was
charged with violation of this law and
the following letter. written by him, was
brought forward a. proof:
'We can give you steady work, and have
places for about six cr eight more smeters if
they want to come. run fourteen Belgium
furnaces"
This would seenb to be conclusive but
the Judges decisidl, while proving that
it was not, also proved that common
sense is not always legal sense:
SIN my judgment The letters do not consti-
tute an express contract, and taken in con-
nection with what has been done up to the
time the transportation was paid are INSULT
cient to establish an implied contract. The
distinctlproposition conveyed by the first let
ter is merely proposition to come out, ,
which may be interpreted come to the United
States No promise, however, was made to
do work of any kind, The defendant did
not say If you viii come to the United States
we will give you steady work. The language
is We can give you steady work. The suit
is dismissed"
There seems to be really difference
between tweedledee and tweedledum.

any attempt would be made to get the

Representative Bland has not strength
ened the free coinage bill by his attempt
to prevent the house committee before
which the bill now is, and of which he
is Democratic member, hearing the
delegations of business men who have
come here at their own expense to pro-
test against the passage of the bill by
the house. Fortunately, the committee
did not agree with Mr.. Bland as to re-
fusing hearings, and it also refused to
adopt motion of his that the committee
should take vote upon the bill next
Wednesday. Among those heard by the
committee this week was big delega-
tion of Boston business men, headed by
H. L. Higginson, who told the committee
that since the passage of the silver bill
of last year there had been great and
increasing timidity ON the part of capit-
alists and small investors, which had now
reached an acute point. The merchants
are frightened because they fear the eff
feet of free coinage, and there is gen.
eral shrinkage in business. He was
asked number of questions by the men,
bers of the committee who favor free
coinage, but he proved himself ready to
answer them all. Afterwards the Bos-
ton delegation called on the president and
Secretary Window.

that had the two gentlemen known of

speculation they would have had nothing
to do with the investigation. The two

deny that any such conversation ever
took place between them. This COM

of harsh criticism to which don't think
it entitled. 1t is doing it's best to consci-

duty, and from all that l have seen it is
more deserving commendation than con-

Early in the week many Republicans
in the house were so mad over the laying
aside of the elections bill by the senate
that many dire threats were made of
what would be done to even up with the
Republican senators who voted against
the bill, but serenity again reigns supreme
and business is going on in both house
and senate just as if no disturbing ele-
ments had entered either of them, and
about the only effects of the threats will
be the votes of a number of house Re-
publcans, which will be cast against the
free coinage bill, should that measure
ever reach vote in the house, although
these gentlemen had heretofore been
classed as friends of free coinage.

From general talks with both the
friends and foes of the elections bill, |
am satisfied that there is no present in
tention of again trying to get it taken up
by the senate. Some of its friends favor
calling it up again soon, not so much
with the expectation of passing it, though
of course they would gladly do that, if
possible, as for the purpose of having a
fair and square vote, without any dis
tracing side issues taken upon it; or in
other words to make a record for every
senator, for or against the bill, which
could not be crawled out of in the fu-
ture. But nothing is decided upon in re-
gard to the bill.
