The Presidents Health.

The Philadelphia "Press" (Republi-
can )persistently represents that President
CLEVELAND is very sick man and that
he recently underwent an operation Tor
the removal of cancerous growth from
the roof OF his mouth.
Private Secretary THURBER pronounces
the whole story 'fake" OF the most
malignant order. The "Press" ought
now to come into court and either plead
guilty or make whatever defence 1t can
1t should not permit its personal or
political hostility to lead 1t into mis-
representation OF the health OF man IN
whose welfare the whole country has a
tremendous interest just at this time.
Some time ago it was stated anthem
tically, we believe, that the President
was suffering from diseased tooth, and
this, we imagine, is the basis OF the
PRESS" discovery, and Of the alleged
surgical operation which it reports as
having taken place on board Mr.. BENE-
diets yacht.
The President rushed into business
very rashly when he went to Washing
ton in March. He undertook to exam
inc into and pass upon the applications
of great numbers of ofiice-seekers with
out reference to their claims to con-
gressmen. This was blunder, and it
broke him down. It would have killed
him had he continued it, for it was be-
yond the capacity of human endurance.
He had to give it up, and nowadays
congressman DO much in the way OF
sitting out applications for presidential
appointments. We learn that the Presi-
dent has been vastly improved by his
rest at Gray Gables, and that he is now
very nearly as strong as ever, though he
continues to be oppressed with weight
Of flesh.

without remuneration. Not only are
they unpaid, but 1t is a singular fact
that their public spirit is seldom pro-
perly appreciated. They get ten pounds
OF abuse for every ounce OF thanks that
they receive. The reason for this is
that there are hundreds Of people who
do not comprehend what patriotism and
public spirit are, and who in their mar
row-mindedness do not understand how
q businessman can afford to give his
services free to the public, and who
consequently allow their minds to be-
come filed with all sorts of foolish
fancies to account for what is otherwise
inexplicable to them.
Richmond would be able to command
for her public service many more good
men than she now has il our people
would be little more appreciative.
SO we say that while we have no
doubt that either Of Mr.. LAUBR's com
petitors would have made good police
commissioner, We can rejoice in his re-
election as an evidence Of that appreci-
alton which is too seldom displayed by
the public towards its faithful servants.
especially its unpaid servants.

The Tariff Next

"1f 'twere done, twere well 'twere
done quickly" II the tariff is to be re-
vised by the present Congress that revi-
sion cannot be done too soon. When
the SHERMAN silver-law shall have been
repealed, as it now seems probable will
soon be the fact, if the country fails to
show at once the good results expected
of that repeal the people will again be-
come clamorous for relief. The action
Of the House OF Representatives on
the silver question has had salutary
effect upon the public mind. But
thoughtful men know that the effects of
q panic are not going TO disappear 'like
the baseless fabric of a vision" There
fore, it may beexpected that even before
the repeal law shall have been allowed
time in which to do Its good work the
clamorous crowd of sufferers from the
panic will renew their demands upon
Congress and ask additional legislation
in their interest.
For this reason, If for no other, Con-
gress ought 40 soon as possible to take
up the tariff question. Either revise the
tariff or tell the public it is not to be re
vised. Are We to have free sugar, free
coffee. free tea, free breakfast table,
or q mugwump tariff ? Are we to con-
tinue to pay bounties to sugar.growers?
These questions are now being discussed
in Ohio. Let the wholescountry discuss
them.

The COnyicts' Beef.

From the investigation made yester-
day by the Board OF Directors Of the
Penitentisry, it appears that no unsound
or diseased beef has ever been know
ingly purchased by that institution.
All beef purchased by it is carefully
inspected by one of the assistant super
intendents.
The institution contracts with firm
OF city butchers who, after cutting off
the choicest parts Of the beeves butch
cred by them to be sold at their stall,
sell the rest TO the penitsntiary, and
this they are thus able to do at low
price.
In the case in question this rule was
departed from and whole carcass was
sent TO the prison. The evidence taken,
however, failed TO show that this beef
was diseased or unsound, but it was
shown that it was poor-that is to say,
not fat.
The State does not furnish the con.
victs with fine food, but 1t earnestly
tries to give them good wholesome food.

RICHMoN BOY WINS THE PRIZE.
Wilson Tanner Writes the Best Letter to
tho Dramatic MIrror

Several weeks ago the New York
Dramatic Mirror offered "A prize OF ten
dollars TO the actor or actress. under
fourteen years of age, who would write
the best letter on My Favorite Role; and
Why 1t is My Favorite Role"
out of the large number of juvenile
contributors. Master Wilson Tanner, a
twelye-year-old boy OF this city, has
been declared the winner.
Master Wilson Tanner Is the adopted
son OF Mr.. Edwin Lee Tanner. the young
Richmond tragedian. who has disun-
guished himself in the western cities
by his clever portrayal OF Or Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde; and "BelphegoI. the
Nountebank."
Master Wilson Tanner has recently re-
turned home to attend school. During
the summer and part OF last season he
was n member of his fathers company.
The following is the prize letter:
My Dear Miss Herrick:
During my stage career l have played
a number OF parts; in fact my repertoire
embraces almost everything from Eva"
ana Mary Morgan" to the prince Of
Wayles." Though l have played longer,
and in some respects perhaps better
parts, my favorite role Is Henri In the
Mountebank
i he ipODT fIltle WdNutiIHk luilplSi
brings 10 my mind some experiences in
my own brief career while playing the
smaller towns OF the West.
Most chidren's parts are either OF the
sanity kind like Eva" OF "Uncle Tom
fame. or on the opposite extreme. Unlike
any OF these Henri" Is just an ordinary
boy. such as We meet with every day.
= He Is not bad nor is he of the milk-and-
water" order.
He is thoroughly IN love with his call
ing. and regards his father (Belphegor) as
a great man.
His devotion to his father, particularly
after his mother leaves them. is very
sweet, and is sure 10 arouse the SYM
patty Of the audience. Apart from the
personal character OF Henri from n
dramatic standpoint there are very few
stronger parts.
In fact II Is usually played by lady,
az few children have sufficient force to
properly render the Course" at the end
of the second act. The ending Of the
third act is also very strong. and you
must "act" In order to bring out the
points In the part.
7 do not care for parts I'm which l
simply go on and of the stage and say
lines. but ! like roles in which | can
throw my whole soul and feel that / am
the person I am personating. That Is
why | like Henri. He is a noble charac-
ter. a good part and my favorte role
| nope ! have not taken up too much OF
your time.
with best wishes, I m your young
friend
WILSON TANNER.

STORY OF A FAMOUS RACE.
Fast Time Made by the Rival Boats, Lee
and hatcher, in 1870.


From the ST. Louis Republican,
One OF the most famous races was that
between the NstcheS. Capt. Learners
and the Robert Il. Lee, Capt. Cannon.
which occurred IN 1870. The race had us
origin In a spirit OF rivalry which nae
existed between the two captains for
long time Each having built what he
considered the fastest boat. nothing but
trial OF the speed Of the two would
satisfy Capt. Leathers, so he sent capt.
Cannon word TO get his boat ready, AZ
he expected TO pass him under way. Ev-
cry possible preparation was made by
Cannon on the Lee for genuine race.
All surplus weight was removed; spars,
tenders and the doors from a portion or
the cabin. as well as the sash from the
pilot house-in fact, everything that
could be dispensed with which would
cause resistance was removed from the
boat even to portions OF the fore and
aft" bulkheads in the hull and the splash
bulkheads. Nothing was left undone
to have the Lee in perfect condition,
while. on the contrary, little or compare
lively nothing was done with the Natchez
to prepare her for the race. To sum 1t
up I'm few words. Capt. feathers and
his engineer were too sanguine OF win
ming the race. or, in other words. they
boat and at the same time underestimate
the Lee. Just before the boats left port
Capt. feathers and one OF his pilots went
down to the Lee TO see IL her hull
was CREASED, as reported. and while View
ing her he was recognized by one OF the
Lees fremen.
The two boats left New orleans June
20. 1870. The Lee was three and one half
minutes I'm advance OF the Natchez, and
for the first three hours there was no
perceptible difference I'm their speed. but
about this time the Lee suddenly be-
gan to widen the space, and when they
were seven hours out from port she had
distanced the Natchez thirteen minutes,
and they were running a fraction more
than seventeen miles an hour. When ten
hours out the Natchez gained nine minutes
on the Lee, but after this the Lee stead
ily gained until the end Of the race, and
when Cairo was reached the Lee was one
hour and fourteen minutes I'm advance of
the Natchez. The Natchez gained some
after Cairo had been passed and 1t Is
probable that had It not been for fog,
she would have reached st. Louis very
close to the Lee. As II was, however,
she was one hour and twenty minutes
behind. The Lee arrived at st. Louis at
1920 o'clock on the morning OF July (,
1870 having made the trip in the phenom-
enallv short time Of 3 days IS hours and
II minutes.
