THE PRESIDENT
Gets In Some Good Work.
X
The Cabinet Does mt.
General Topics from Washington

President Cleveland has this week
been able to devote more of his time
to important public matters than In
any single week since his inauguration
owing to his having stopped the prac-
tice of grSa6iDg personal interviews to
applicants for Presidential positions
but it has been just the reverse with
members Of his cabinet; they have
had so many callers that they have
had to devote almost their entire time
to them, and unless there Is ''let up"
they will be compelled to follow the
Presidenfs example and decline seeing
applicants for Office. Those who pre-
tend to be shocked at what they are
pleased TO call the Presidents innovs-
ton have short memories, as he did
precisely the same thing in October.
1885. 1t would be advantageous TO
applicants for places If members Of
the cabinet would also refuse to sec
applicants. for then they would have
chance to look over the papers, On lille
and make recommendation to the
President, thus Fastening appoint
ments. 1t is because Republicans
know this that they are trying so hard
to create public sentiment in favor
of unlimited personal interviews; the
longer the heads of the departments
are kept away from the papers on file,
by callers, the longer the big offices
will be filed by Republicans. See2
The Weather Bureau investigation
has closed and Gen. Colby is now at
work on the testimony, upon which
his report will be based. What that
report will recommend your CORES
pendent has no means of knowing,
but the evidence will certainly justify
general shake-up of the bureau from
top to bottom, and it is altogether
probably that Secretary Morton will
see that it gets it. While nothing
absolutely criminal was proven against
prominent officials, state of affairs
was shown to exist that calls loudly
for change.

Secretary Herbert has correct and
thoroughly Democratic ideas about
the relations that should exist between
naval officers and the United States
Government, as this order that no
more leaves of absence be granted ma
val officers for the purpose of allowing
them to enter private employ fully
proves. This practice like many
other questionable ones, is of Repub-
lican origin, and has grown into
almost scandal. Under it naval
officers who have acquired special
knowledge along certain lines after
long study, at government expense,
have secured leaves of absence, in
some cases for as long as four years,
on two-thirds pay, in order that they
might sell their special knowledge to
the highest bidder among those to
whom it would be most valuable
the contractors who do business with
the Navy department. Secretary

A Narrow Escape,

On last Monday evening, the inst,
infant daughter of James Gibson,
aged six months, while playing with
a silver dollar, got the coin fastened
in its throat and over the windpipe!
Its breathing was shut off. After
many futile efforts to relieve the in
FAINT, Mrs. Gibson in state of excite :
ment, pressed her fingers down
the child's throat, and, reaching the
coin drew it out.

A number of prominent Democrats,
headed by Representative Rynum, of
Indiana, are endeavoring to persuade
President Cleveland to call the extra
session in June, instead of September.
The argument of these gentlemen is
that September is the most unhealthy
month in the year in Washington,
malaria being worse than at any other
time. They say that if Congress
comes together in June the House can
perfect its organization and the COM
mittee get down to work before the
hottest weather of the summer comes
and then a recess can be taken to the
first of October, escaping the malarial
season.

Oo many Complaints OF one KIM
and another have been received by
Secretary Carlisle about the methods
and the administration of the New
York custom-house that he has deter
mined to have it thoroughly investi-
gated from top to bottom, and has
selected the following gentlemen to do
it: Ex-Secretary Fairchhd, of New
York city, Hon. Daniel Magone, Of
Ogdensburg, N. Y, and Hon. Pom
dexter Dunn, of Arkansas.
1t is significant that upon the very
day Judge Lochren, the new Commits
sioner of Pensions, took personal
charge Of the Pension Bureau that
frauds aggregating something $780,
600 should have been exposed. And
still more significant is the fact that
all of these frauds obtained pensions
through q single attorney--W. r.
Drewry, of Norfolk, Va. That hum
dreds of similar cases will be unearth-
ed Is the general belief here. Judge
Lochren is OF the opinion that the
amount paid out for pensions can be
largely reduced without depriving
any man Of what is justly and legally
his and without changing the laws,
and he proposes to demonstrate the
corroctnaoS of that on;xto

A Bishop Used Lightning Conductor NJ

A Paris Figaro reporter tells the story
Of an English bishop who, returning
from tour Of the states, occupied a
large double cabin with his wife, who
was somewhat querulous and exacting.
One night during storm that lady com.
planned of close air, and her spouse
arose and opened a portfolio, whereupon
big wooden ball bobbed in and kept
on bobbing.
The bishop knotted W its string and
hung II on the wall of the cabin; II
bumped as the vessel rocked and an-
noyed the lady further. So the patient
bishop let out the loops and put the ball
under his pillow, after which peace and
slumber reigned.
The next day at dinner he recounted
his adventures Of the night, and,
bridled with intense delight at the
roars Of laughter which greeted the
story, the captain recovered sufficiently
TO gasp:
"Why, man-ah-that Is, my lord,
