OPPORTUNITIES FOR REFORM.

President Cleveland will give the
country notable administration. The
mistakes of the past four years will fur
nlsh him several opportunities. Tariff
reform is not alone in the catalogue of
things to be done. Pension reform is
OF no less Importance and offers as great
room for reduction of taxes as the tariff
There is no sound reason why the widow
OF soldier, whom she married since
the war, should draw pension. There
is no sound reason why wealthy vcte-
ran, or one in comfortable circum-
stances, or one drawing an ample salary,
should receive unnecessary aid from the
government. The whole pension
scheme has fallen into discredit from it's
abuses.
The selection of Hoke Smith as Secre-
tary of the Interior has been, no doubt,
with view to having at the head Of
that department a man of backbone
capable OF graphing with all manner
of rings with which that department.
abounds. There are pension rings, land
rings, Indian rings and more or less of
patent rings, and Hoke Smith will down
them.
Carlisle will come into depleted
Treasury. The huge surplus, which
piled up under Clevela nd from inability
to reduce revenues by reducing taxes
because OF hostile Senate, is gone, and
even the gold reserve, protected for
fifteen years, is almost a. the danger
point. 1t will be six months before
stable finances can again be secured at
Washington, and it will require Con-
gressional action before taxes can be
reduced and readiusted to the policy Of
the administ -ation.
The State department has the Boring
sea trouble and Hawaiian annexation to
wrestle with. while the Attorney Cen
eral has complicated fight against
trusts to undertake.
The Navy department must continue
to build up the navy and the other de
partments 10 execute various reforms
On the whole President Cleveland has
magnificent opportunities.

Musical Festival Which will Long be Remem.
bered,
The musical entertainment given by
Miss Katie Matthaei of our city land
Prof. Leo. Wheat, the great southern
pianist, at the Central Opera House
last night is an event which will long
be remembered by our music-loving
community. Although the wind blew
a gale, and the mercury lowered near
zero, the performers were greeted by
good house. At a few minutes past s
o'clock the entertainment began. All
expected to hear fine music, but were
hardly prepared for the treat that
awaited them. Miss Matthaei is u
graduate of the Conservatory of Mu-
sic at Leipsig, Germany, and is mag
nifcent performer, manipulating the
worries with q skill that is not often
seen while Mr. Wheat is posed of an
Unborn talent, and throws his whole
soul into the music, holding his audi
ence spell-bound. We have heard
much of Wheat, but it fails either
tongue or pen to describe his marvel
ops skill. Mr.. Wheat and Miss Mat
thaei rendered numerous difficult and
beautiful selection in such man
ner as to win them numbers OF encores
Everybody was delighted with the en-
tertainment, and although the temper
ature was far two low for the comfort
of the audience, all were sorry when
the last note was sounded.

SENATOR KENNA DEAD.
One Of West virginia's FayOrito Sons Death
Came Suddenly.


One Of West virgnia's Fayoritc Sons Death
Came Suddenly.
Senator John Edward Kenna, Of
West Virginia, died at 3 o'clock this
morning at his residence 100 B street
N. F., Washington, from heart disease.
Senator kenna had been i'll several
weeks and on several occasions was So
low that his physician, DR.. Sewers,
despaired of his recovery. He rallied
after each severe attack, however, and
for ten days previous to yesterday
hopes were entertained that he would
get well. Sunday night he was taken
worse but rallied slightly and yester-
day rested quietly throughout the day.
Last evening there was recurrence
of alarming symptoms but as he APP.
peared to be no worse than during
previous sinking spells an immediate
fatal termination was not anticipated.
AT enc o'clock this morning repor-
ter who sought information at the
senator's residence was informed that
no change mad taken place in his con-
dition for several hours. The Senator
began to sink rapidly, however, a short
time later and the end was somewhat
sadden though not unexpected by the
watchers at his bedside.
