ed its goose quill. But the realization OF
an elephant on its hands has at length
grown so painful, and now our prudent
neighbor jumps at IDLE rdmor as the oD-
portunity to drop the profltless burden.
Yesterday the Globes first editorial lines
significantly read
''If statements recently published and
credited to Mr.. Cleveland are authe ntic,
1t is highly probable that he will not al
low his name to 20 before the nominating
convention next year. Their purport is
that he has attained all the honors to be
conferred by the presidency. possesses a
comfortable and satisfactory business, is
greatly attached to his private aud domes-
tic life, and would not accept nomina-
ton again except under circumstances
and conditions that do not now seem
probable. The indications are not at pre-
sent favorable to the unanimity had at st.
Louis four years ago"
The rumor seized upon by the Globe is
the gauziest kind Of fake, and updoubt-
edly was invented by the Hill crowd
But it serves the purpose just the same.
Cleveland must be dropped, and rumoi
serves as O good enough pretext. The
Globe, like scores of other ex Cleveland
organs, knows On which side its bread is
buttered. The house OF Hill hns the
machine. the barrel. the political ins aud
the patronage plums, and that is the stuff
that in true bourbon philosop by knocks

A Drumstick With a History,

The drum majors stick Of the First
Guard regiment in Berlin has a Curl
Gus history. During the reign of
Frederick Ii. it was the custom for
Prussian officers to carry a stick as a
sign of their dignity, and this stick
was used not only as a commanders
staff. but was employed in keeping up
military discipline. At that time a
certain Frederick Wilhelm Rohdich
served as captain in the kings life
guard. This officer had obtained great
successes in the battle of Prague, and
received in recompense various orders
and honorable posts. and also a patent
of nobility. After his death in 1896
the stick he had used was preserved
as a relic by his relations, till, in 1910,
n of his grand-nephews, a Major
Bredow, gave the stick to the First
Guard regiment with the wish that it
should be used for the drum majors.
The stick, which was a simple bamboo,
was provided with a silver button, up
on which were engraved the Rohdich
arms, the cross of the order of merit,
and the following words: AIN mem
DRY of General 0 Rohdicb, from 1879
to 1896 head of the regiment founded
by the Kurfurst Frederick, and re-
formed by Frederick ii. as the Guard
Grenadier battalion, which. dissolved
in 1906, still exists in the First Guard
regiment. london NeWs.
