The prince of Woodward is w. B. Clark
son. He is the Chesterfield of the city and
the monarch of all the peoples hearts.
Mr.. Clarkson, with his nephew, a very
fiue young gentleman, operates the rail-
road eating house at Woodward, beauti-
fully furnished building with about twen-
ty rooms and all modern appointments.
Since the opening he feeds on an average
of $50 persons daily. His wife. charming
lady. fills the house with sunshine and
hospitality reigns supreme under their
roof. The table is deliberately supplied
and meal is spread that would do credit
10 the table OF a metropolitan hotel. Mr..
Clarkson is in Woodward since the rail-
road entered there about six years ago,
and he takes an enthusiastic interest in
he affairs of the thriving young city. Mr..
Clarkson is n native of the Southland and
hospitality is his religion.

find more energetic business men engaged
in it than in any other line. Among those
who are more than holding their own is
the firm of Noble & Case. who are right in
the center of Main street in IN elegant
building of their own. H. H. Case and H.

Some of the new public officials who
are making their debut ON the public
stage have great deal to learn. As a
rule officials acquire cerebral enlarge
ment in inverse ratio to the length Of
their service. A new appointee gener-
ally has an exaggerated and exalted mo-
ton of his own Importance. 1t takes
time and the natural shiftings Of the
tides to bring him to a realizing sense of
the position he occupies and its relation
TO others. Mr.. Olney is an able LAWYER
and man of great ability, but he has
never before held public Office and is in
clined TO be both petulant and arrogant.
The other day Representative Moses of
Georgia called upon the attorney gen.
eral TO offer some suggestions about one
of the Georgia appointments under the
department of justice. When Moses
had stated his business, Attorney Gen
eral Olney said curtly:
lyon will have to be brief"
Mr.. Moses flared up. Things have
reached pretty pass" said he hotly,
when representative in congress can
be spoken TO in that fashion by cabinet
officer upon whom he has called on pub
lie business. / am not accustomed to be
told that must be brief. Good morn
ing, sir" he added as he turned on his
heel and departed. The attorney gem
eral realized that he had made a mis-
take. He tried to correct it. but the
irate Georgian refused TO listen. Wash

Not just Right.

Here is little story for which every
reader may furnish his own moral. In
New England city a bright young
woman who earns her own living had
saved $15 with which TO go to the
Worlds fair. A few weeks ago a SEN
sational Boston newspaper started a
contest for free trips to the fair. The
young woman's friends thought they
would surprise her with one of these
free trips. They began buying the
newspaper coupons and sending them in
to be credited to her.
Some indiscreet friend let her know
what was going on. AS her friends We're
spending so much money for her benefit
she felt bound in honor to assist. In the
end her SO went into the pool, and In
the total over &400 were spent, but this
sum was not quite enough. The free
trip went to somebody who had 20,500
coupons against her 10000. She gets
nothing for the $400 spent in her behalf.
and she will not go to the fair. Hun
dreds more tried and failed. The news
paper pocketed thousands of dollars for
which it makes no return. But did the
newspaper get this money honestlyY-

PRICE ONE GENT
Comment ON Political News.

IL Is with extreme regret that the men
who are urgent for the reform OF the
civil service read of the wholesale re-
movals OF fourth class postmasters which
are being made by the ready ak Of
Headsman Maxwell. The feeling is Just
as strong against this vicious practice as
1t was against the same policy under
Clarkson, and prominent men who sup
ported Cleveland have no more charity
for the evil under Democratic than un-
der Republican administration. In
fact, the assurances which have been
gwen OF the purpose 10 extend the civil
service rules and 10 follow the spirit of
the civil service law makes such doings
as Maxwells all the more exasperating.
One Of the active Mugwumps of the
campaign of 1884. who has supported
Cleveland ever since, speaking today OF
Maxwell's policy, said that "he ought 70
be snaked out of his office" II is already
proposed to enter formal and vigorous
public protest against this policy of re-
moval for political reasons, and unless
there is change the administration will
lose rapidly in the good will which II
evoked when it was said that the claims
OF Office hunters would not be suffered
TO interfere with the public business

The principal point of objection in the
proposed treaty with Russia is the ex-
ceedingly loose definition of political Of
fenses in article 3, which exposes a large
class of people who come to this country
for refuge from political, social and
religious oppression to the malicious
Vaccinations of foreign power, which
affords no such guarantees Of fair and
just trial under the law as those which
constitute the chief pride and privilege
of the American people.
Standing as this nation does for uni
versal liberty and human rights, we
stultify our own principles and deny our
own history when we deprive one worthy
refugee who has been prosecuted out Of
his native land of the guardianship of
our beneficent laws and the protection Of
our courts of justice. Under this treaty
the Russian government can come into
this country by means of its agents and
pursue any Russian whom it may see fit
to charge with an extraditable offense
and demand his immediate surrender,
even though he has become fully natu-
rallied American citizen.-New York

Nepotism is bad enough, but there is
practice that has worked its way into the
government which is worse. II is nepo.
tism in its most reprehensible form. II
is the practice of senator's, representa-.
tives, cabinet officials and government
officials in general of fastening their rel.
atives upon the public treasury. An ex.
ample is the United States senator whose
wife's mother, sisters and lot of cous.
ms are all in the departments. There
are several similar cases. besides cases
of congressman who have thrust their
relatives into the public service in vari.
ETY. of ways.
Cabinet officers have their sons thus
fastened upon the treasury. IL is bad
enough for senators TO make their rel.
atives clerks TO senate committees aud
otherwise provide for them in document
rooms and other places, where they win
be remembered in at least one of the
numerous appropriations at the close Of
the session, but the practice of coloniz
ing them in the departments is the worst
kind of nepotism. Washington Letter.

UngallADt criticism of Gladstone.

An edifying exhibition of judicial taste
and humor was given by Sir Richard
Harrington at church defense meeting
at Hereford recently. The county court
judge presided, and in closing the meet
ing he remarked that there was only one
person in the universe who would be dis
satisfied with their proceedings.
THAT person was usually described as
an old gentlemen. He did not mean Mr.,
Gladstone. He meant the devil" Sir
Richards elegant persihage was a fitting
supplement to that of Mr.. w. Morris,
who, speaking on the same day at a
meeting held under the presidency of the
bishop of Hereford, suggested that if Mr..
Gladstone persisted with the Welsh sus-
pensory bill "he might be accused, prob
ably rightly accused, of treading in the
steps of Judas Iscariot" Mr.. Morris,
however. is but a layman.-London

means Of which they got back to civil

The case of Lup Chue, the Chinaman
who was arrested for violating the
United States registration law, was heard
before United States Commissioner A. j.
Williams yesterday. Judge Blandin, the
attorney for Lup Chue, charged that the
state could not prove that Lup Chue was
Chinaman. There was no expert testi.
mony to demonstrate that Lup Chue was
not a japanese, or Russian, or Turk,
or any other nationality. The state was
utterly unable to show what constituted
a Chinaman, and Lup Chue was dis
charged. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
