ported to have about broken up his

days, and then he rested; then he made
man and rested again; then he made
woman, and since that time neither God
nor man has had a rest."-Louisville

Grover Interfeered.

In one of the best stock companies in
this city, which was playing one of the
successful dramas last winter, there was
brilliant young actor who through COM
panionable disposition was sometimes
led to forget that prudence which in an
actor especially is essential for success.
He had been playing his part brilliantly,
but one night he appeared upon the stage
having come from dinner party in a
condition which caused grief to the
audience and scandal to the management
He was discharged. A few days later
the manager received letter from Grov-
er Cleveland. The president said that
he knew this young man, knew what his
good qualities were, and believed that it
only needed a little discipline for him to
learn the lessons of prudence, and he
asked the manager if he would not take
the young man back again, give him
another chance, and Mr.. Cleveland added !,
"let him know that I have asked it, be-
cause [ believe that with this experience
he will become a credit the vocation he
has chosen" The manager could not re-
sist this appeal. He received the young
man back, upon whom the lesson was not
lost, and it Is believed that by this kind
ly of act Mr.. Clcveland's IS he has been who'll
ly reclaimed, and may win that high
place in the profession which his talents
Justify his friends in expecting he will
secure If he is true to himself. - New

ENFORCE THE GEARY LAW.
Evident Intention of the Government Nav
Cause Break with China.

There appears to be little if any doubt
that the present administration intends
to enforce the Geary Chinese exclusion
act, and, in case the law is rigidly en-
forced, Yang Yu, the new Chinese min
lister to this country will, it is said.with-
draw to China. Of late he has been be-
sieged with kilograms from Chinese
throughout the country asking for veri-
fcation of a report that President Cleve-
land and his cabinet had decided to put
the Geary law into effect. The Chinese
Six Companies in San Francisco have
been in telegraphic communication with
him ever since his arrival in Washing
ton.
The attorney general, it is stated, will
instruct the United States marshals to
enforce the law and bring every unregis-
tered Chinaman in their districts to the
designated ports for deportation.
Solicitor Reeve, of the treasury de-
partment, says: There is no disposition
on the part of any officer of the the gov
eminent to shirk the execution of the
provisions Of the Geary act. A circular
will be issued by the treasury depart
ment to the inspection officers, directing
them to comply with the provisions of
the Geary act to the extent of the funds
appropriated. These funds are entirely
inadequate for the enforcement of the
law and will not hold out for q great
while. When they are exhausted the re-
sponsibility will rest not with the GUS
toms officers, but with congress itself.
There is some fear evidently that the
Chinese government will retaliate when
an attempt is made to enforce the act.
AT any event the arrangements made
Tor Strengthening the naval fleet at the
Chinese station are significant.
The gunboat Concord is now on the
way to China and the Petrol has also
been ordered there. The cruiser Balti~

Evident Attitude of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle. =

It is evident from the statesments of
Congressman and others, who have re-
Gently conversed with President Cleve-
land and Secretary Carlisle on the subject,
that the Administration will favor the
repeal of the tax on the circulating notes
of State banks, as was asserted in the
dispatches several months ago. Repre-
sentative Oates, of Alabama, who is a
strong friend and advocate of repeal,
said, after conversation with
the President on that subject, that the
latter would not oppose the repeal of the
tax. Speaker Crisp said to cor
respondent the other day, in response to
questions, that Secretary Carlisle favors
the reapeal of the tax and also the imme-
diate coinage of the ssseigniorage" silver
bullion now in the Treasury, which
would add nearly $52,OOO,OOO to the
available assests of the Government,
which are steadily dwindling at a rate
which, in the opinion Of many prominent
and influential Democrats in Congress,
will soon require heavy reinforcement
of the cash balance in the Treasury
