The Poet. Remark to the Lion Hunters.

The Poets Remark To the Lion Hunters
Fresh interest is revived in the old
anecdotes Of Lord Tennyson, and
among them is one told of a lady of the
genus lion hunter indigenous to
English soil. She lived not far from
one of Tennyson's country homes.
and after pestering the poet with in
vitations to luncheon and dinner for
months, she finally prevailed upon
him to come and meet a party Of
friends who were dying to know
him" During the meal, while the
hostess and friends stared at him and
listened curiously for his words, the
poet maintained a rigid silence, until,
when nearly at the close, suddenly
he looked about the table and said
with great gravity, Il like my nut
ton cut in chunks" Whether tho
guests penetrated the sarcasm or not
remains to be told.-New York Sun.

with which the theaters Of this coun-

Twenty-seven subeequentyears of active
civil life. including two terms as a rep
resentative in congress, should suffice to
expiate such an offense as this.
But there are those who at time like
this are apt to look about them for such
as ''have done the state some SERVICE"
One of these recently remarked that "all
the great soldiers OF the war have passed
into silence" And it was in response
to this remark that I begged to instance
the name OF Henry w. Slocum, who
was soldier for about four years some
twenty-seven years ago, although a
civilian ever since.
Ii is we'll known that but for an acct
dent in 1882 Mr.. Slocum would have
been nominated for governor instead of
Grover Cleveland, and it is more than
probable that in that event he would
have polled still larger vote than
Cleveland did in that contest, resulting
in the phenomenal majority which alone
assured the nomination for president.
am speaking now of Slocum's habitual
life as a civilian-his career as a soldier
brilliant as it has always been) having
been merely responsive to the occasional
demands which the country has made
from time to time during his eventful
life, upon all her citizens.

BRINGING THE p. NJ. S. COMPANY TO
BOOK.

Senator FELTON, has shown that he has
an eye to the interests of his constitu-
ents by introducing bill to
withhold the postal subsidy from
the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany 30 long as that company
is in receipt of bonus from the trans
continental railroads to keep up exorbi-
tant rates OF freights and fares between
this coast and New York. As the gov
eminent subsidy is granted 80 as to help
the vessels receiving it to promote and
extend the commerce of the country to
foreign ports, it would be manifestly alb
surd to extend this aid to companies
that receive subsidies from railroad
companies for the very purpose of de-
feating that object. The Pacific Mail
company will no doubt meet the objec-
ton of Senator Felton's bill with the
declaration that they do not receive the
railroad subsidy for such a purpose, but
that they sell the railroads so much
space in their steamers for fixed COM
pensation per annum that the railroads
may or may not use the space, but
nevertheless it is reserved for them,
and it Is theirs. OF course this is but
subterfuge, an evasion, and the real fact
is that the money they receive from the
railroads is in effect bonus
to prevent them from entering into
competition that would force the rail.
roads to lower their rates for freights
and fares across the continent. The
San Francisco Call has shown in an
article that in the past fifteen years the
transcontinental railroads have paid to
the Pacific Mail Steamship company the
enormous sum OF S14, 900 on condi-
ton that it shall not compete in
through freights. If the company is
forced to choose between losing the
government subsidy and letting the
bonus of the railroads go, it will dou BIT
less submit to the loss of the former.
The people of this state, however, will
be glad that Senator FELTON, has brought
this matter prominently before the
country. 1t will show the people how
the natural channels of commerce are
impeded and interrupted by artificial
means so as to defeat the natural laws
OF trade and place the industries of the
country under exorbitant tribute to
monopolistic combinations. Whilst this
line of steamers has actually estab-
lished prohibitory freight rates between
San Francisco and New York, it has
sole possession Of the trade between
California and the Central American
states, and has placed its charges so
high upon traffic to the ports OF those
states, that American commerce is
actually excluded from them. There
can be no sympathy with company
that possesses 80 narrow and unpatriotic

AFTER lively bout in the house yes
terday between the white metal men
and the goldbugs, the former carried
their point overwhelmingly, and set the
25th of March for the consideration OF
the free coinage question. There is no
doubt that the Bland bill will be passed
by very large vote, and it is believed
that the silver men are strong enough
in the senate to carry the measure there.
That would leave Harrison with the
responsibility of vetoing the bill. Those
who are in close communion with him
say that he will do SO. His friends can
rest assured that ii he should do go, he
will be dead presidential cock in the
pit OF several Pacific states when the
election takes place next fall. Perhaps
the Republicans will see so strong a
show of weakness in Harrison, if he is
placed in this attitude of opposition to
the demands of the Pacific states, that
they will think better OF his candidacy
for the nomination, and select some one
for their standard bearer who is at least
not obnoxious to so powerful an element
as the silver men of the country.

THE elections in London have gone so
overwhelmingly in favor of the Liberals
that there seems to be no doubt that
Salisbury will soon be confronted with a
majority in the house of commons, and
that Gladstone will be called upon to
choose cabinet. The country is ripe
for a change. Balfours Irish bill has
been received by both factions OF the
Irish representatives with ieers and de-
rision. The labor troubles are assuming
atupendous proportions, and nothing
but change of government can avert
great and perilous crisis. 1t is remarka-
bile that Gladstone's years sit so lightly
upon him, and that notwithstanding his
great age, he is as keen and active az if
ne were of middle age. 1t is said that
since his return from the continent he
has astonished everybody with his
physical vigor and intellectual freshness.
He seems now as capable, in every re-
epect, of taking hold of the government
and carrying it on successfully as he was
forty years ago. He is miracle of fine
preservation.

THE ILLUSTRATED HERALD.

The sales of this splendid publication
yesterday showed how responsive the
people of Los Angeles are to a really
good thing. 1t is universally conceded
that the present number OF this publica-
ton is the most artistic that has ever
emanated from this office. It is the
twelfth of the series. 1t is scarcely too
much to say that the first number of
the ILLUSTRATED HERALD started the
celebrated Los Angeles "boom." 1t has
stayed by "the works" ever since, and
it requires no prophet to announce that
this region is but in the initial of its de-
velopment. Southern California is
great, and the ILLUSTRATED HERALD is
its prophet. 1t is already speeding to
the four corners of the earth on its
benefcent mission of demonstrating
that semi-tropical California is the true
Riviera OF the globe.

RUSSIA has way of dealing with seal
poachers which has saved her from a
great deal OF annoyance from that class
OF pirates. Instead of fooling away any
time in Selling and searching them for
proof OF their piracy, she fires into them,
and sends those who fall into her Gus
tody to the Siberian mines. She does
not bother herself about nice definitions
as to close sea or a few miles of ocean
more or less. She knows that the mother
seals must have feeding grounds far out
at sea, and that unless they are pro-
tected from poachers wherever they 90
Tor food, their young must perish, so she
acts on the sound and broad principle
that protection must follow the seals
wherever they may go to feed. The
three marine miles Limitation is an
absurdity when applied to the seal fish
cries. They must have SEQ room or per-
ish, and the Russian government de-
cides that they shall not perish. Let
the United States stand on the broad
principle that our seals carry with
them the right to protection wherever
