GRESHAM AND SMITH.

Grover Clevelsnd's name is not conspicu-
Ously connected with a public policy hav-
ing for its principal object the regulation of
corporations. When Mr.. Cleveland was
Governor Of New \ OTk he read law by
the light Of a corporation candle. His veto
Of the liYe-cent fare bill is a case 10 point.
The real question involved was whether the
owners of the elevated roads should be al
lowed 10 charge rates that would enable
them to pay dividends on wateTed stock.
Mr.. Cleveland could not then be convinced
that the stock had been watered. The cor
pOration lawyers piled up figures OF ex-
penses which had more weight with him
than any showing the other side could
make. The impression that Mr.. Cleveland
proposed to stand well with capital was
STRENGTHENED by the Warner letter indors-
ing in advance Of his Inauguration The re-
peal Of the Bland silver act. Under these
circumstances the nomination Of Judge
Gresham was al first believed TO be a kind
of political combination designed to effect
fusion Of the Democracy and the Peoples
party. As a political movement it was
snrewd and wise. But there Is at present
sound reason u for the conclusion that there
was a purpose behind it Of much greater
public Importance than the fusion of two
parties.
The Philadelphia Ledger says that the
appointment of Judge Gresham was Mr.
Cleveland's own act. 1t was not urged upon
him either by Democratic OF Popuist lead
ers. l. was not, in fact a nomination in
the range of probabilities. Cleveland and
Gresham were not supposed to have any
political ideas in common. Gresham was
identified with Interests which Mr.. Cleve-
land was supposed to antag0niZe The
Ledger gives an extract from the letter in
which the invitation to enter Mr. Cleve-
lands Cabinet was extended TO Judge
Gresham, from which we select the follow
ing significant paragraph:
In what may be termed an emergency In the
affairs Of the country 1t needs you. In my eff.
forts to subsefve The interests OF The people
need you. VIII you come to us9
AS there are no questions Of foreign poll
tics now pressing upOn the administration
the natural inference is that domestic poll
tics require the services OF a man like
Gresham. The decisions Of Judge Gresham
lin respect 70 The powers OF corporations are
the acts of his official life which distinguish
him from the public men of his day. Are
We TO assume from this that Mr.. Cleveland
has marked out policy which accounts for
his selection OF Judge Gresham as his
closest adviser? One swallow does not
make a summer, neither DO two. But the
nomination Of Hoke Smith. prominent
anti-corporation lawyer, TO be Secretary OF
the Interior is in the same line of politics as
the nomination of Judge Gresham.

luton Diminishing the Railroad Commits
sioners from Office. and the Assembly will
vote on the substitute railroad bill which
abolishes the commission and establishes
distance tariff under the Western classi-
fieation of freight. If the latter bill should
become law, railroads that earn less than
$1,000 a mile per year will be exempted from
its provisions. The public of course Will
not confOund bill to abolish the Railroad
Commission with one to turn the present
Commissioners out of office. II the present
Commissioners are dismissed the commits

If the commission is abolished. an effort
will be made TO do by law what the Rail-
road Commission has failed to do. If the
Senate votes 10 dismiss the Commissioners.
the act as far as the Legislature is con-
cerned is final. But If the Senate refuses
TO dismiss the Commissioners and the
Assembly passes the bill to abolish the
commission, the latter bill will also be ex-
posed TO defeat in the Senate. 1t appears.
therefore, that two or three Senators hold
in their hands the power to determine
whether an effort to regulate railroad
charges shall be made now or two years

THE PRINCESS KAIULANI.

The young lady who was heir apparent
to tie Hawaiian throne does not seem to
take broad view Of things. In published
interview she expresses the hope that per-
sonal appeal to the incoming President may
win her the sympathy Of the American
people. She thinks she ought to be seated
on the Hawaiian throne because she has
been educated to expect it. She has so lit
tie political sense that she has placed her
self in charge Of British merchant con-
Dected with the Hawaiian Islands trade,
who is said to be a strong supporter of
British interests On the islands. The little
schoolgirl does not seem to understand that
the principal object of annexlng the islands
is TO prevent the Government from falling
under British influences.

They have a queer betrothal custom down
among the common natives or poems of Qua
temala, which Is scarcely romantic for the
girl. / was passing the hut of native ON n
inca or coffee plantation one day, when /
saw an old woman belaboring her
daughter with a good-sized stick, which
she applied vigorously across the shoulders
and body OF her beloved offspring. who
set up wall of woe and pain, though I
fancy her tears were quickly dried, for IL
was significant event for her. This Is the
way the old lady lady gave her consent to
the marriage of her daughter. The natives
receive but little cash during the year. The
priests charge what Is there considered
good sum for performing marriage cere
mony, and the natives of the lower classes
dispense with 1t. The mother beats the
daughter, there is feast of friioles and tor
tilla cakes and the dispen saton OF unlimited
quantities OF native whisky, everybody is
happy and drunk, and that constitutes the
marriage. which, singular as it may appear.
is regarded and observed as a rule faith,
fully.

TIE GRAB AT TIE PARK.

There is no instance on record that we can
recall in which a junketing committee re-
ported against any scheme that it was ap-
pointed TO investigate. Junketing commit
tees. as q rule, are not built that way. The
conn: ittee that is coming down from Sacra-
mento TO examine cur park, if they pull out
in the usual manner, will succunb to the
Establishment Is Of Commissioner Stow. But
they should bear in mind that the bin. which
has emanated from the Park Commissioners
and which they are expected to favor, Is a
railroad job OF the worst description. There
is no comm issioner over which the N monopoly
does not exercise a controlling interest. 1t
wants to get possession OF portions of the
park for its own purposes. Therefore, the
bill in question allows the Commissioners
to lease portions of it for ten years in one
acre lots, The railroad has a station house
on part Of the park now and its steam
road cuts of a corner Of il.
The same corporation now contributes to
the payment Of the band which twice a
week attracts such crowds to the park. II
finds its funds accrue by so doing. But it
wants all the profit now. 1t is therefore
found that the Commissioners are to have
the power TO pay for the music for the
future. The taxpayers are to maintain the
park and the band and the Southern Pacific
Of Kentucky is to take in all the gate
money without deduction. The Commits
sioners. on their own part in the bill in
question, strike for complete independence
for themselves. The Mayor, who, under the
original park scheme, was the auditor of the
concern, was eliminated some time ago.
They want to do with the park and its
grounds just what they please. What all
this means nobody will be at a loss to deter
mine. OF course. when a blow is aimed al
the city one or more of our own representa-
tiVes are on hand to guide it. A San Fran
cisco Senator Is the author of the scheme.

Drawing-Room Designs.


A dining-hail in new country house has
its walls, ceiling and sideboard, tables and
cupboards all finished i'm rich white enamel

chairs, also in white enamel, are upholstered
with a green brocade. The only pictures
upon the walls are water-cOlors and etch-
ings framed in white and silver. The tall
lampe of crystal and silver and the candles
in the room are always shaded with soft
rose color.
A second dnlng-rOom with q warmer

that she is looking her best. / is hung with
satin brocade of a dark crimson. and artis-
tically lighted by many wax candles placed
in candelabra Of white and gold half way

Unquestionably there is sound truth In
the statement of an old gentleman enjoying
the hospitality of the Almshouse, that the
treatment is much better than in any SINH

situations there Is always grumbllng. At

Loves Modern Place.

Miriam Coles Harris writes In the Febru-
airy Lippincott: Love. Innocent, legitimate
love, is not all there is in life; IL Is only
small part, comparatively, Of its expert
ences. There is a great deal of happiness
outside it; there are rewards, there are
pleasures, there is satisfaction, with which
it is entirely unassociated. There are sor-
rows which cause its keenest pangs to seem
but pin-pricks, there are desolati0ns which
make its sentimental grefs appear con-
temptible. Compare broken engagement
with-a cancer; faithess lover with the
