A HAPPY FAMILY.

1t has been currently reported
that Mr.. Cleveland, long since, had
expressed himself to the effect that
he would not appoint any one to an
Office who had served under him dur
ing his former administration. This
was not generally believed by the
hungry seekers, who had spent
their money and boarded themselves
and expected their old places back
again. The matter has now been
set at rest by an interview between
Representative Brett, of Indiana,
and the President. The Baltimore
american reports it as follows:
Mr.. Bretz was admitted to the
Presidential presence. Said Mr..
Bretz to Mr.. Cleveland
Mr.. President, | have just one
question to ask you. Is it true, as
has been stated in the newspapers,
that you will, as rule, refuse to re-
appoint men who held Office under
your previous administration 2"
cit is" replied Mr.. Cleveland
with laconic brevity.
Does that rule apply to post
masters ~ asked the Indiana Con-
gresham.
1t does" said Mr.. Cleveland,
sharply.
"And to anything else ?" asked
Mr.. Bretz, thus multiplying his one
question into three.
"To everything" replied the Pres
ident.
"Good-day, Mr.. President"
" Good-day, Mr.. Brett.
We have no doubt the appoint
ment of Mr.. Gresham from the Re-
publican ranks, foreshadowed this
action upon the part of the Presi-
dent, and we have no doubt but that
many Democrat and other voters
are now nursing their wounds,
mourning their losses and swearing
vengeance. Truly, if anything, they
are the reverse of "a happy family"

Tortured to Death.

DENVER, Col, March 5.-One of
the most brutal and revolving crimes
in the history of Denver resulted last
evening in the arrest of Mrs Concea-
ia Sabatino and her eight-year old
boy, Nicholas. One, or both of them,
the police have been unable to de-
termine, had taken Tony Sabatino, a
ten year-old girl, burned her all over
the back and limbs with hot fiat
irons, burned her with redhot po-
ker in vital parts, and then hanged
her to hook in the house. The
opportune arrival ola nelghbor saved
the child's life for time, but physi-
clans say she cannot possibly live.
The only explanation given by the
woman is that the child was not mod
est enough in her behavior.

Mr.. Harrison has not lost in any
degree his gift for saying the right

right way. His speech at Indian
apolis ON Tuesday, in thanking his
neighbors at his old home, was sym
pathetic and beautiful. The touch
ing allusion to his personal sorrow
was impressive.
His patriotism was exempliRed III
his allusion to his citizenship and its
duties. The people of Indianapolis
made a splendid demonstration in
appreciation of the safe return of
their fellow citizen after four years
of patriotic service. In deeds
wrought, in words of patriotism and
in all the essentials of Christian
citizenship, Mr.. Harrison's record
commends itself very dearly to the
people Of his home and of the whole
