A NORTHERN newspaper offers to it

A NORTHERN newspaper offers to its
readers as an excuse for the appoint
lnent of one of the three southern men
in Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet, though one
of the remaining two was Union man
during the war between the States, the
fact that he was only 'ten years old
when the war ended, so that he has no
recollection of the days before the war,
and is not infected with any of the pre-
JUDGES or passions that may have sur
vived the great conflict" But how
about the five members of the Cabinet
who hail from the North? Are none
of them ''infested with the prejudices
or passions that may have survived the
war;? And if they are, does the fact
that they were against the South excul
pate them and put them above the need
of any excuse? In the North, and
among all parties there, that section
was perfectly right, and the South thor
oughly wrong, and ever will be world
without end

EX-PREsIDENT HARRIsoN's admins
tration expired at noon to-day. The
country is we'll rid of it. From its
abandonment of precedent by the as
sumption of partial control of the gov
eminent of Samoa, to the signal failure
of its filibustering attempt upon the
Sandwich Islands, lis foreign policy
was grotesquely ridiculous, and that
which it pursued in reference TO home
affairs resulted in the substitution of
large deficit for surplus Of Il hundred
million dollars in the Treasury. 1t
commenced with the expression of his
thanks for not having been born in the
South, and it ended with the regret of
his own party in the North that he had
been born anywhere. 1t was the worst
that ever afflicted the country, and, by
comparison, made that of the late Alr.
HAYES quite respectable.

II IS not at all surprising that Mr..

Bureau, should have been acquitted OF
the charges against him, by the Con-
gre.s which has just expired. He had
thousan Is of offices at his disposal, and
almost every member of Congress was

of. and every body knows how hard it
was to conyic the hog thief by a jury,

.ICoMMUNiCATED.

1t has been stated recently in the GA
zET"rE that the democratic committee
OF the city of Alexandria has endorsed
tie applications of several AleNan-
dria democrats for positions under the
new administration, one Of which is
that of store keeper at the distillery in
Fairfax county.
Now it strikes me that the Fairfax
county democracy is entitled to this,
as well rs to other federal ap-
pointments there may be in the county,
bo.h as matter Of common justice and
as slight recognition of magnificent
work at the polls for many years past.
With this in view and the fact that
Mr.. Donald Mclean has the endorse
ment of the democratic committee and
The Fairfax people generally for the po-
sition of storekeeper at the distillery. |
can see no reason why an outside APP
pointment should again be made, how
ever worthy the applicant may be.
Very respectfully

THE DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Last evening President Harrison and
Mrs. Mckee dined President-elect and
Mrs. Cleveland in accordance with the
customary etiquette. The guests Of
honor arrived at 7.30 o'clock and were
at once shown to the red parlor, where
the President and his daughter awaited
their coming Dinner was announced
Immediately afterward and the party
passed to the private dining-room,
where the decorations were in white
and green, Of palms banked in the
corners and window recesses. On the
mantel and buffet were ferns and lilies.
The center-piece of the table was
large plot of ferns and lilies of the val
ley, bouquets of which flowers were
placed at the seats for Mrs. Cleveland
and Mrs. Mckee. The service of cut
glass and China uspd was that for
which Mrs. Harrison gave the order
and in the decorations of the latter was
especially interested, The ware is of a
Prussian blue and yellow, with gold,
the seal of the United States in the cen
ter of each plate. The idea of white
and green dinner was carried out in the
ices and bonbons. Those who sat at
the table were President Harrison, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Mckee, President
elect and Mrs. Cleveland.

REPRESENTATIVES HATCH and the
other congressman who voted for the
anticipation bill said that bill was in
the interest of farmers and would re-
dound to their advantage. But soon
as the telegraph announced the defeat
of that bill there was general advance
in the prices of all kinds Of grain. The
bill was really i'll the interest OF a
combine of western millers, and
that it was adverse to that of the
farmers is proved by the advance re-
ferred to.

NOTWITHSTANDING the high tariff on
tin and wool, the imports of both
those commodities have increased great
ly since the passage of the Mckinley
bill, the nominal object of which was to
exclude them, and thereby increase the
home product and benefit the home
producers. The tariff tax has done
neither, but it has greatly raised the
price of both the articles referred to.
Every member of the new administra-
ton knows this as we'll as every body
else; but yet some of them, at least, say
there should be no early extra session
of Congress for the purpose ofrepealing
the bill which imposes that tax, because,
forsooth, the members of Congress might
embarrass the President and his Cabi-
net ministers by their opportunities for
offices for their friends and constltu-

hardly possible that he will be retained
in office until the next Congress shall
convene, no matter how soon that may
be. A committee of the Congress that

charges of fraud and corruption that

that they were not only sustained, but
that the half had not been told; and

W. W. Stearns, who lives near Catett's Sta
ton, met with very strange and samirs
accident.
1t seems that at Edwin Height" there's
:: large cistcrn directly in front Of the pantry
door which opens on the yard.
The ci.tcrn has always been kept carefully
covered up, until Of late when owing 10 tho
long drought and consequent scarcity Of water
it was opened for the convenience Of the .er-
wants. One Of the domestics after filling hs
buckets with water. with negligence that well
nigh proved fatal, forgot to replace the c''tcfn
cover.
a little later Mrs Stearns passing hnrFicdly
through the pantry opened the door to step
into the yard and was instantly prccipated %
the bottom Of the cistern through twelve feet
of water. As she rose 10 thcsurtacc servant
woman who CHANGED 10 be passing saw her
and graspiug her hand held her above the
water till assistance came

TONES or THE SPANISH KINGS n
leaving the sacristy We descend into
the royal tomb or Pantheon, for such
is the term given by the Catholic Span
iards to Christian burial place. This
vault, placed exactly beneath the high
altar Of the church, is an octagon room
36 feet in diameter and 3S feet high.
You descend into it by means of 4 stair
case whose walls are lined with green
and yellow polished jasper. The walls
porphyry, and jasper, richly ornamated
with gilt-bropze capitals, bases, and an
gels, the whole executed by Italian art
lists after the death of Philip II. AS an
inscription informs us, the founder of
the Escurial built only simple vault.
Philip III. began the present gorgeous
structure in 1917; Philip " completed
it. and moved in the royal bodies on
March II, 1854, after Diego de Valas-
que had with his own hands fixed in its
place the bronze cruciiix by Pedro
Tacca. which he had brought back
from Italy. The octagon walls con-
tain twenty-six inches or shelves,
on each of which is gray
marble sarcophagus or urn Of classical
shape. On the left are the kings and
on the right the mothers of kings from
Charles V. down to our own times. In
1854 Philip ". opened the urn contain
ing the remains OF Charles v, and after
looking awhile at the mummified body,
he said laconically, to Luis de Haro
"Don Luis, cuerpo honrado." To
which the Prime Minister replied, Isl,
Senior, muy honrado." Charles II. also
opened this august sarcophagus. which
was again opened by Ferdinand VII.
after the French invasion, and once
more in 1870, when the aspect of the
was carefully reproduced by
painter of Madrid, and photographs
from this picture now enable curious
tourists to carry away an authentic por-
trait of the corpse of the great emperor,
whose features inspired so happily the
brush OF Titan and the chisel of the
Leonis.
