washington on His dignity.

Minneapolis Journal
President Washington went to the
sessions Of Congress in splendid
coach, formed like hemisphere, with
gilt panels, on which were carved
Cupids, flowers and fruits. This gor-
geous vehicle was drawn by six cream
colored horses superbly caparisoned,
and supplemented by coachman and
two footmen in white and scarlet liv.
cry. The spectacle drew crowds to the
street whenever the President passed.
On the occasion Of receptions President
and Mrs. Washington (she was called
Ellis EminenCe's Consort") sat on the
raised platform like throne and in q
stately way received tho salaams Of the
people.
Tie only man who ever attempted to
be familiar with President Washington
was Gouyerneur Morris, who, on big
wager that no wouldn't daro walk up to
Washington, slap him on the shoulder,
and iamiliarly accost him, went boldly
up in a crowded room to the dignifed
George. Ho didn't slap George upon
the shoulder, however, for his courage
failod him, and no laid his hand on tho
President and mildly said, "Wcll, gen.
oral, YOU are looking very well tonight"
Instantly Washington turned round
aud gave Morris dark frown and a
dagger look from out his eyes, which
made that worthy shrink into corner
thoroughly embarrassed.

There have been rumors 10 tho world
theatrical that Mr.. Steele Alaekaye,
whose name aud originality is known
wherever the stage has a place in the
community, had conceived design Tor
a Grammatical and musical presentation
on colossal and astounding scale OF
the times and events OF Columhus's hrst
voyage TO San Salvador that should not
only,be novel, startling and original,
but should be in harmonious accord
with the grandeur OF the event that it
was to commemorate, Those rumors
have become facts, and it is now author
itatively stated that 1.-The Mackaye
Spectatorlum" is approaching compile
ton, and that the various fine arts
features Of the presentment are also
we'll along toward completion,
The carrying out OF this design and
production necessitaIed an outlay OF
over one million dollars, and this ex-
penditure has been made by the Co
lumbar Celebration Company, which
in its personnel contains more names
OF financial greatness than any COM
pany ever organized for like purpose.
Then, too, tho personal reputation OF
such men as Hon. Benjamin Butter
worth, George NJ. Pullman, Franklin
II. Head, Lyman J, Gage, MurrY Nell
son, L, b, Butley, j: 0. Hinkley, and
others of the same social standing, is
sufficient guarantee that the produc-
ton to be given within the walls OF tho

itself, which ranks in architectural de-
sign and beauty with the best OF those

A Proposed Road Law.

Among the bills which will be offer
ed at the present session of the Leg.
islature is road law which is now
known as the "Kirk bill" 1t is so
called because it is supposed to be the
production of Arthur Kirk, Of Pitts
burg. 1t is not yet known to whom
Mr.. Kirk will entrust the duty of
standing sponsor for his suggestion of
legislation, but his bill proposes to
put the roads of the State entirely
under State control, taking away from
the counties and townships all duties
and responsibilities for the establish
ment and maintenance of roads. The
bill provides in addition to the minor
details of State Road Superinten-
dent, at commensurate" salary, and
for a County Superintendent in each
county, also at commensurate" salary,
for the issuing of 500, 100000 Of
state bonds, $6,ooo,ooo to be issued
each year at the rate of $500, 900 per
month, for the perfection of uniform
system of country roads.

President-elect Cleveland had an
interview. Monday, with Senator
Villas, at the Lawyers Club, New
York city, on the subject of silver
legislation.
From Democratic leader who
ought to know. it was learned that Mr..
Cleveland has become more and
more anxious as each day passed lest
Congress should adjourn without
taking action on the silver question.
With view to ascertaining the
situation in the House he asked w.
Bourke Cochran to visit him last week
and that gentleman returned to the
National Capital convinced that the
President-elect desired the Democrats
to vote for the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman act. Sena-
tor Villas was summoned to give an
idea of the prospects of the silver
legislation in the upper House. He is
understood to have had two hours
interview with Mr.. Cleveland upon
this and other subjects and to have
departed with assurance that the
President elect hoped no effort
would be spared by the Democrats in
the Senate to secure the proposed
repeal before March 4.
