The Presidents Patience Exhausted

The ofice-seekers have finally ex-
hausted the Presidents patience. He
listened to them for two months
and then concluded that he was giving
them time that belonged to the country;
and, besides, many of them were so i'm
Fortunate that they hardly gave him time
to eat and sleep. They insisted on telling
him their stories every day in the week.
They could not understand that the Presi-
dent heard very little of what they said,
and remembered less, and that if he pos
sessed half a dozen heads he could not
have remembered a hundredth part of
what was said to him in the interviews
which the ofice-seekers had with him.
Finally he mustered up sufficient courage
to tell them he didn't want to see them
any more, and that he would deny them
anaudience if they should call at the
white house.
The system which exposes the President
to a crowd of people clamorous for offices
is bad one. 1t ought to be abolished.
Some other system ought to be adopted
for finding out who are the best qualified
for the places in the Presidents gift. In
fact, the President ought not to under
take to listen to the reasons why this or
that man wants place in the service Of
the government.
The President has made appointments
that should have been made by members
of his cabinet The Secretary of
State, the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and, in fact, each of
the other members of the cabinet is
ready to bear his full share of the bur
dens imposed by the ofice-seekers, and
the President ought to let them select the
men needed in their respective depart
ments.
Now that the President has announced
| that his doors are shut against office
| seekers it is probable that the most of the
! applicants for office will return home
after they have filed the Endorsements
! they have. And they will stand just as
good a chance of getting what they want
as if they hung about the white house all
/ summer.

wife Buried Awe.

HAzLETog, Pa, July Lone year ago
Charles Coger, OF Mofrisons. was married,
and nine months later be was n widower.
He became crszsd with grief eventually, and
Is result his afliiciion produced a dementia
pronounced incurable. He raved oontin-
ually about his wife, and entertained the
idea that she had been fonlly dealt with.
So strongly did he believe IN this that his
friends decided TO disinter the body. They
did 50 yesterday. and a most horrible dis
cOsery was made
The body was found face downward and
all the evidences which 60 to show that the
woman had been buried alive were plainly
apparent. The glass in the lid Of the ooifin
was broken. The shroud enveloping the
from was torn to ahreds. The limbs were
tsisted and distorted, the hair torn, and in
her hands she elutched a bunch Of It.
Those who were engaged in disinterrng
the body fell back entirely overcome The
only composed man in the party was the
dsmented husband He assumed an air OF
complacency, and assisted in the work Of
reausnging the body. He has shown no
signs Of mental alteration since, and from
all appearances his mental powers have been
restored.

The Chicago Anarchists, Michael schvsb
Samuel Fielden and Oscar Heebe, have been
pardoned BY Governor Altgeld. Never in
the history Of the northern penitentiary al
Joliet has there been such q sensation al the
prison as when the pardons were handed TO
Warden Allen. Edward s Dreyer, a Chi
caeo banker, arrived with the pardons and
presented them to Warden Allen, who at
once sent for Seebe, Schwab and Fielden.
The tho walked into the wzrden's office,
where they were met by Warden Allen and
Mr.. Dreyer When Mr.. Dreyer told them
ne had their pardons their faces frightened
up and they were the happiest Of men.
They all declared that they were innocent
and had been illegally punished. They
we're rigged ont in citizens clothes, given
supper, furnished railroad tickets and then
they bid the warden good bye and left for
their homes in Chicago.
It's supposed Mr. Dreyer's influence with
tie Governor was decisive Il was not
known that the case was being considered
and the Governors action caused great sur
prise. The Governor has prepared a long
statement Of The case, in which he severely
criiicises Judge Gary and Police Inspector
B0nfe.d. The former sat in the cases and
the latter was vigorous in their prosecution
The Governor takes the ground that these
men did not have fair trial and that the
court was prejudieed.
Schwab, Fielden and Neebe were sentenc-
ed 10 States prison on the charge Of com
plicity in the Haymarket massacre in May,
1855. November II, lSs., Spies. Parsons,
Engle and Fischer were hanged for the crime
