4 striking instance OF the yicissitudes
public servants are called upon to un.
derso in this republic of ours is pre-
scented in the case of General Fltz John
Porter, whom Postmaster Dayton OF
New York City, has appointed cashier
of the postoffice at a salary of s., 600 per
gear. General Porter was cashiered bv
military court upon the charge of dis.
obedience of orders az critical moment
during series of engagements on the
ManasSa battlefelds in Virgins, but late,
investigation proved that he was iusti-
fed in his seeming disregard of the or.
ders of his superior by the exigeneies of
the occasion: that, had he obeved the
order literally his command would have
been destroyed. which state OF case was
known TO Porter but not to the com.
handing general of the army, General
John Pope. General Porter Is now Il

But he turned each buyer away.

Nor single grain of wheat
Till Simpson goes to congress
and Cleveland takes his seat
''Then confidence will be restored
And our prices we will raise;
Wen have II like we used to have
In good old bourbon days"
John voted with the POpUl.s.s,
Though at heart a Democrat,
And stood up for fat money,
Though fiat he called fat"
4 year has passed; and Farmer Green
Has had a chance to know
What kind Of times We're brought about
BY that change year ago,
His banker failed; his mortgage is due;
His hogs and wheat woa': sell
For enough 10 pay his interest.
And now-"Old home. fatewell."
Thus does he realize his wish
For good old bourbon days"

And such another state OF things

A Compliment TO Joe.

from the Topeka Journal
For ouce Major Hudson of the Capital
has reason to feel proud. The organ of
the convicts at the penltentiary is "agin
him. The idea of permitting these jail
birds to discuss political matters in pub
lie is disgrace to the state. but still
more of a disgrace to the Populist party,
which, by the way, the convict organ is
supporter of. The fact that several
hundred burglars, murderers, rapists,
etc. are running paper in defense of
Populism isn't helping that political
school in this state.

Home Rule Matters to Have Precedencs
Over All Other Matter.

Home Rule Matters to Have Precedence
Over All Other Matter.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-In the commons to-
day Cavend1sh Bentinck asked whether
the attention of the admiralty had been
called to the recent celebration at New
York, at which President Harrison was
present, when the flag OF steamship,
built and subsidized as British cruiser,
had been changed and the flag of the
United States hoisted in its stead; also
whether the admiralty would henceforth
prevent such proceedings. The secretary
of the admiralty replied that there was
nothing to prevent the transfer of Brit
ish mercantile cruiser to foreign coun-
try after the period for which such sub
sidy had been granted had elapsed.
Gladstone made a motion that on Tues
days and Fridays the house meet at o.
IN. and government business, especially
the second reading of the home rule bill,
have precedence over all other business.
Seaton Carr moved that Gladstone's pro-
posal be rejected, but it was carried, 30
to 22S.
Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the
exchequer, introduced liquor trade veto
bill. He argued the bill sought to estab-
lish control of the traffic by popular vetos
the best system known, as by it needs and
desires OF individual communities could
be satisfied in accordance with local con-
diGions. The bill passed a first reading.

THE UTAH COMMISSION.
Members Are Unable to Tell Where
They Stand.
Friends of Admission of Utah Have
Abandoned Ali Hope for This
Session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. q. = [Speciai1.-
The sundry civil bill in which the Utah
commission matter IS involved has been
ordered to conference aud the commits
sioners are all still here trying to save
their positions. 1t is difficult to say
what the outcome will be.
The House wants the commission abol-
ished and the Senate desires to have it
continued.
Owing to the great number of amend
ments to the bill each side will be COM
PEELED to make concessions and the Utah
commissioners cannot tell where they
stand.
The outlook for the admission of Utah
is so doubtful that friends OF the bill have
practically abandoned all hope for this
session. The House is too far behind in
general business and in the Senate the
Republicans are fighting the admission
question.
Mr.. Carey's omnibus bill is objection
able to the Democrats because it places
the political machinery in the hands OF
the Republicans in the territ tories.
It is generally conc eeded now that
nothing will be done this Congress with
admission bills.

PENSION APPROPRIATIONS.
The Bill Passes the Senate With
out Amendments
MR.. GoRMAN's PROTEST..
Few Senators Give Attention 10 the
Vast sum Appropriated.
The sundry Civil Bill Goes to Confer
ence Committee-The Car.Coupler
Bill Passes the House-Anti-
Option Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-In the Senate,
after the agricultural bill was placed on
the calendar, the pension appropriation
bill was taken up. Mr.. German called at
tention to the fact that bill appropria-
ting $165, 900, 600 was being run through
the Senate with very few senators giving
any attention to it. This was the COM
missioner estimate OF what would be
needed, but the fact was the commissioner
did not know how many pensions would
be added to the roll this year and it was
beyond question that there would be at
the end of the fiscal year, on June 30th
next, deficiency of from five to twenty
millions. He could not fail to take notice
of the fact that there had been an over
whelming vote in the House against any
change of the pension laws. The fact was,
as stated last week by the senator from
Illinois, Mr.. Palmer, there had been
political parties to see how far
they could go in the matter
OF pension legislation All that he (Gor-
NAM desired to do was to call the atten-
ton of the Senate and people to the fact
that with the present condition of the
pension laws Congress would be poWerless
at the next session, as it was at this, to
reduce the pension appropriation to any
extent until the question was taken up by
the Pension Committee, and until legis
lation was had for reduction OF pensions.
Mr.. Palmer spoke on the subject of pen
sions as one interesting the country very
much. The amount OF pension appropri-
ations was exciting surprise. There was
a growing anxiety that pensions should
be paid only to the deserving, and he
thought old soldiers pensioners as we'll as
non pensioners would favor any propo
sition that would tend to eliminate from
the rolls those who did not deserve pen
sions. He trusted the new administra-
ton would find man for pension COM
missioner who would comprehend the
gravity OF the subject and have the cour-
age to do right.
After further discussion the bill passed
without amendment.
The conference on the military academy
bill was agreed to and after conference
was ordered on the sundry civil appropri-
alton bill, public business was suspended
IN order that fitting tribute might be
paid to the memory of the late Senator
Kenna, after which the Senate adjourned.

READY FOR INAUGURATION
President-Elect Cleveland's Ad
dress Is Completed.
GENERAL IN CHARACTER
His Utterances Upon Financial Policy
VIII Be Decisive.
After Inauguration President and Mrs
Cleveland VIII at Once Go to the
Executive Mansion and Not to
any Private Residence.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.--St. Clair Nickel
way, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, who
has been several days at Lakewood, n.
j.. and during that time had conferences
with President-elect Cleveland, writes his
paper as follows: "CIeveland's inaugu-
raj address as president of he United
States for four years from March next
will contain about LOO words and be
more general than specific in character.
Mr.. Cleveland has carefully written out
what he desires to say, but will speak at
the inaugural without manuscript. His
utterances upon the financial policy and
economy will be decisive. Confideno in
Democratic principles as able to deal with
problems OF labor and capital, sectional
divisions and political unrest will be ex-
pressed.
''The abolition of federal interference
with elections in the states will, it is said,
be treated as a recognized decision of the
people. The pension department, new
navy, rigorous quarantine and regulation
of immigration will probably receive at
tention. The president may not refer
openly to the question of the annexation
of Hawaii, but will take a conservative
stand and not act hastily.
''Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland Will go at
once to the executive mansion after the
Inauguration, and not to any private res
idence as has been stated. President
Harrison has had the White House put in
admirable condition. He has been in
correspondence with Mr.. Cleveland, and
the latter greatly al 2reciates the kind
provldent and hospii Die spirit which the
retiring president has shol for the COM
fort of the family of the incoming execu-
tiye.''

king on BIINCO STEERERS.
Thomas O'Brien Has Been Dis
covered IN Buenos Ayres.
HIS ESCAPE FROM HAVRE.
He Is disappearing as a Private Gen-
tleman of Means.
The Paris Figaro Reveals the Sensational
Points Elected During the Recent
Examinations of Charles De
Lesseps-Foreign Notes.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The Nail and En-.
press prints an interview with a gentle
man just returned from Buenos Ayres who
claims to have unearthed 'sthe king of
buneo steerers," Thomas O'Brien, in
that city. masquerading as private gem
tleman of means under the name of Mr..
j. @. Corwin. O'Brien is accompanied
by his old friend, DOC Minchen, and
the two occupy suite of rooms in the
best hotel in the capital. O'Brien's
manner of escape to the Argentine Re-
public is interesting. When ne escaped
after the United States consul had him
arrested in Havre, he make his way to
Lisbon. There he boarded the first
steamer which left. 1t was Pacific liner,
Britannia, sailing south.
The steamer stopped at Montevideo and
at that port Bunco left her and took q
boat up to Buenos Ayres. He was ac-
companied by Doc Minehen and on ar
rival they went to the Grand hotel and
both seemed to have plenty of money.
O'Brien and Minchen are perfectly safe in
Argentine, as there is no extraditioR
treaty between that country and this.
