SOCIETY AND THE NEW CABINET.

From a late Washington letter we copy
the gossip about the Cabinet as follows;
Secretary Gresham is no society man
he and his family will live at hotel and
will do little or no entertaining, in the
general acceptance of the term, although
always at home to their numerous per-
soma friends.
Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle occupy a
residence that is well adapted for enter
tanning and Mrs. Carlisle has the charm
of manner which has made Kentucky's
women as famous as its race horses, but
lack of means will prevent their doors
being opened as often as they, to say no
thing of their would be guests, would
like.
Secretary Smith will live at hotel I'M
til fall when Mrs. Smith is coming to
help him select a house. He has the
money, but society has yet to learn
whether he and Mrs. Smith have the in
clination to spend it for the enjoyment
of others.
The Lannon'S will take house, rumor
says large stone mansion at the north
end of town. If they take the house,
which was given up by Chief Justice
Fuller because he could not afford to live
up to its appearance, Dan must have
made much more money during the last
four years than has generally been sup
posed. Wherever they live MIS-. Lamont
may be depended upon to go to tho lin
it in making her house attractive.
Postmaster General Bissell was accom-
panied by his wife when he came to the
Inauguration, but she returned to Buffalo
this week, and their future plans have
not been definitely decided upon, and
probaly will not be for some time.
Mrs. Olney is with the attorney gener-
al, and they will remain at the hotel
where they are now Guartered until Mrs
Olney decides whether she wishes to
keep house, and the decision will depe nd
largely upon her personal experience in
visiting other housekeepers. Those who
have had the pleasure of visiting the
Olneys at their Massachusetts home say
the kindest things of their hospitality.
Secretary Herbert, who is widower,
lives with his daughters at quiet family
hotel and will make no change in his
manner of living. He could not if he
wanted to, and fortunately for his peace
of mind he doesn't want to.
Secretary Morton's family are undecid-
ed but those who know him say there is
no probability that they will care to
shine as indiscriminate entertainers, al
though no official social duty will be
shirked by them.
All of which makes it clear that so far
as cabinet entertaining is concerned
Washington society is on the eve of an
era of "Jeffersonian simplicity" This
means much in the social world, particu-
larry to those struggling on limited in
comes 70 keep up with the procession,
for, while it will have no effect upon the
lavish expenditures of the wealthy, it
will have tendency to make IS tarva-
ton parties proper, thus cutting off the
commissary supplies of the society
"hoaters."

District Court.

The November civil term of the
district court has been in session
this week, and several cases of
protracted litigation have had a
hearing. His honor Judge Wear
gives all sides fair show, and we
hear of little complaint on his score.
Judge R. j. Bowman, Hon. r. P.
Hunter, Mr.. Andrew Thorpe and
Mr.. John Ryan, of Alexandria,
Dist. Attorney r. E. Milling and
Mr.. Henry Bernstein, of Winfield,
Judge M. F. Machen, of Montgom-
cry, and Mr.. w. G. Roberts, of our
local bar, are the attorneys on hand
to mix matters SO as to make it
hard for the Judge to make a de-
cision. A large number of liti-
giants have been on hand all the
week, but only a few cases have
been disposed of, owing to the
length of time taken to try some
of them.

North Carolina, and will do much
to keep these States insthe Demo
cratic line.
In New Jersey-Ths State SEN
ate stands Republicans IL, Demo-
Gratis 10. The Assembly has So
Republicans and 81 Democrat,
The defeat of the wintet race trac (
men means the repeal of the rae {,
laws. The victory of the reform
element will naturally be followed
by the discontinuance of winter
racing in New Jersey. A signifi-
cant feature of the voting was its
sole reference to race legislation.
In New York-The State Senate,
now Democratic, will have Re-
publican majority of six, the assem-
bly, of twenty-eight. In the consti-
tutional convention there will be
los Republicans to 20 Democrats.
It means the breaking up of the
ring. In Brooklyn, as in the State,
the result has not been q Demo-
cratic defeat or q Republican vic
tory. New York is still Democrat
ic; Brooklyn is still Democatic.
The victory has been won by hon.
est and sincere Democrats over
those who have injured the party
by objectional methods and bad
nominations. Democracy will be all
the stronger in the future from the
purifction it has received, and from
the proofs its opponents have Civ
en- of determination to promote
good government and to put only
honest men into positions.
In Ohio McKinley's majority
will go over $4,000. The Repub-
licans have three-fourths of the
Legislature. It means that Will
liam McKinly will be the Repub-
lican standard bearer in the presi-
DENTAL contest of 1896.
In Iowa-The Republican ticket
has been elected throughout. Gen.
Weaver explains the Republican
victory by saying the result is re-
buke to the administration of Cleve-
land for abandoning it's promises
to reform the tariff. The result
means that Iowa will no longer be
a cold water State and that 1t will
be in the Republican column in
1896. 1t also means that Boies is
forever removed from the ranks of
the candidates from the West for
the Presidency.

Bimetalism, Pure and Simple.

/
The old saying that, 'snone are
so blind as those who will not see"
is wildly exemplifed by Bro. Ma
chen in the last issue of the Mail.
We fear it can do but little good to
him to point out his error, but it
may be some satisfaction to him to
be set right in matter that he APP
pears to be altogether at sea. He
assumes that we are wrong in say
ing that the present national Ad-
ministration is committed to bimet-
alism; that the intention and repeal
of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act 'is bimetalism in its
purest and simplest FORM" He
thinks he clinches this assumption
when he quotes the great T. d.
and N. o. Pic. as authority for the
statement that "the bill provides
in effect for the cessation of the
purchase and coinage of silver"
Without in the least disparaging
the good intentions of the Mail
and its authorities, we must say
that the bill does nothing of the
sort, and we here and now venture
the assertion that within the next
twenty days the Presidents message
will knock this gratuitous assump-
ton into smithereens; and whatever
Mr.. Cleveland lacks in the way of
emphasis will be abundantly sup
piled by Congress long before the
Christmas holidays are upon us.
If Bro. Machen will keep the Re-
peal Bill standing in his columns,
a few weeks study of it will show
him that it repeats the purchasing
cause OF the Sherman act alone.
Not one single word is said about
stopping coinage, but on the con-
trary it is expressly declared and
that the coinage of both
gold and silver shall continue. The
closing sentence of the bill is SO
stout that its intention cannot be |
misconstrued unless by those who
are determined to ignore its plain
provision. Read it:
And it is hereby further declar-
ed that the efforts of the Govern
ment should be steadily directed
to the establishment of such a safe
system of bimetalism as will main
tain at all time the equal power of |
every dollar coined or issued by |
the United States in the markets |
and in payment of debts.

Gov. Foster has undoubtedly
made couple of mistakes in the
appointment of Gen. Badger and
Lieut.. Gov. Parlange. We called
attention to the latter only short
time ago, and now we learn there
is still another disagreable and
unnecessary complication from Mr..
Parlanges appointment to the Su-
preme bench. The State Pardon
ing Board has been estopped from
transacting business by the failure
of Col. Lott to qualify as Lieuten-
ant Government. The board is
composed of the Lieutenant Gov
ernor, the Attorney General and
the presiding judge, and the At
torney General and presiding judy
es naturally do not care to UNDER
take the consideration of cases un-
til the third member of the board
has attended a meeting. Col. Lott,
as the presiding officer of the SEN
ate, becomes the Lieut.. Governor,
but before being able to serve he
must take the customary oath.

The Result and its Meaning.

We Gull from city exchange
the following interesting summary
of the State elections on the 7th,
and the meaning of the result:
In Illinois = The entire judicial
Republican ticket has been selected,
Judge Gary ran 100000 ahead OF
the ticket.
In Kansas = The Republicans
have elected officers in 80 counties
out of los. They have also elected
three district judges, the Populist
two, and the Democrats one.
In Nebraska - The result is yet
doubtful. In the cities the Repub-
licans have elected their candidates
and the probabilities are that they
have been equally successful in
the country.
In Colorado Republicans were
elected in all the counties. Popu-
lists had heavy losses. Three
thousand more votes were polled
than at the Presidential election.
In South Dakota The Republic
can candidates had about 5000
plurality. The total vote fell below
one half of last years.
In Pennsylvania The Republi-
cans had everything their own way
by overwhelming maiorities.
In Massachusetts, - The entire
Republican ticket headed by Gree
halge for Governor has been elect
ed by 10000 majority.
In Kentuckey - The Democrats
gain ten Legislators. They will
have los members out of 1873.
In Maryland The Democrats
have carried this State by 10000
plurality. They also elect So of 81
members of the house of delegates,
and 20 out of 26 Senators.
In Virginia The majority of
the Democratic State ticket will
reach $4,000. Twenty-four sena-
torial districts have elected Demo-
Gratis and one district has gone to
the Populists. The result in Vir-
ginia can be classed as an import
ant victory, the State having been
kept in line in spite of the efforts
of the Populists. 1t has demons
trated that the Republicans can do
nothing in the South, and the Pop
nlists, Notwithstanding all their
promises, are not yet strong enough
to be a source of danger in that
section. The result in Virginia, it
is thought, will have great infu-
ence on the elections IN Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia and
