members, caused by the laborious
work Of reforming-on paper-the
whole government, that they have
already began to indulge in little
vacations for their individual pleas

with official cares that he could not
accept the invitation extended him
by the G.. A. Il. to attend the
Memorial Day exercises at Airing
ton, but he started on the afternoon
of that day for weeks salt water
fishing. Secretary Carlisle found
time between dismissals of Republi-
can officials in the treasury to spend
a portion of last week in Maryland
as the guest of Senator Gibson.

II. M. g. Bissell, who finds the re.
forming of thepostotfice department
much more exasperating task than
he counted upon, trusted to luck
that no Hill Democrat would slip
into a postoflice while he was away,
and took a run up to Buffalo TO see
whether anybody had been attempt
ing to reform the game of penockle
since he came away. Attorney Gen
eral Olney, just to show how deep
his interest was in the legal pro-
ceedings for the pretended purpose
of compelling the Sunday closing
Of the Worlds Fair, took a trip to
Boston. incidentally he doubtless
took occasion to renew his stock of
mu gwump frigidity, which has been
largely drawn upon to cool the
hot-headed southern Democrats who
have occasionally managed to get
past the sentinel at his door and
into his private Office. This is GER
tainly an early beginning Of the
holiday season and indicates a
regular boom for the vacation bust
ness a little later on.
Senator Allison is being highly
commended by Republicans for hav-
ing said that he would not serve as
delegate to the International
monetary conference, which is to
meet again next November, because
it will be the duty of every Re
publican in Congress to be in his
seat when the Flfty-third Congress
meets and begins the WORK of tear
ing down the carefully constructed
fabric which has given the United
States thirty years of prosperity
never equalled 10y any other nation,
in accordance with the Democratic
program. Senator Allison thinks
that GOV. Boles will be renominated
for governor of Iowa by the Demo
Gratis, and that he will be defeated
by the Republican nominee, the
peoples party being no longer a
factor in that State.
Owing to the peculiar meth DDS

Rev. Mr., WESTON, who is so kindly
remembered here in Raleigh, has
been delivering q lecture on Peter
Stuart Ney, of whose identity with
Marshal Ney he is entirely satisfied.
The lecture aroused much interest
in Charlotte and also in Hickory.
Mr.. Weston hopes to realize enough
by series of lectures to secure the
publication Of the work he has pre-
pared on the subject, and which is
now ready for the printer. The
book will be beautifully ILLUSTRATED d
with matters that tend to prove his
conclusions. It is said to be very
superior in interest to any histori-
cal romance, and by ell means il
should be published. We trust
that an effort will be made to kave
the lecture, which doubtless con.
tains the gist of the argument, de.
livered here in Raleigh. Cannot
enough tickets be sold to justify
Mr.. Weston's coming here for the
purpose? Let his friends interes
themselves in the matter.
