ITis apparent that, as pupil of John
Sherman, Cleveland has made mar
velous progress in financial knowledge.
Sherman not only dictated and skele-
tonized but actually wrote his veto
message on the s~eigniorage bill. Now,
when his brain is thoroughly improg-
mated with McKinleyism, Cleveland
will have a good start and a fair chance
to make both a statesman and a pa
triot.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT
A few days ago a parrot belonging to a
gentleman in this city grew tired of
durance vile and HE'D itself to q tree
near the old canal, just outside the city
limits. where it called to passing dogs
and made its presence known generally.
The owner ascertained its Whereabouts,
but the bird being on a uncomfortable
limb, it was impossible to recapture it.
A man. however, came to the rescue,
and said that should a large charge be
placed in a gun, we'll rammed and the
oarrel filled with water and discharged
at the parrot it would immediately de-
scend, as the foul water would soil lis
plumage and the parrot would come to
the earth in order to make its toilet.
The owner concluded to allow the man
to try the experiment and a double
blrreled gun was loaded and afterwards
filled with water. Both barrels were
discharged almost simultaneously, pro-
ducing a recoil sufficient to knock two
teeth from the eXperimentor's. mouth
and to nearly d~islocate his shoulder,
The water went far from its mark, and

The FIRE ENGINE CoNTEsT.-During
the heaviest of the rain fall this morn
ing the Columbia and Hydraulion fire
companies with their engines aud head
ed by the Friendship and Third Regi-
ment Drum Corps, respectively, left
here on the 1880 O'Clock boat for Wash
ington to take part in the fire engine
contest at the Grange Camp Fair, near
the south end of the Long bridge. The
engines were in perfect order aud look
ed as new as when they came out of
the shop. The companies we're accom-
panied by a number of their friends
who were interested in the result of the
contest. Before the engines left this
morning there was q hitch in securing
insurance upon them, as the insurance
agents were afraid that the water
guages had been lowered so as t o show
more water than the engines were real
ly carrying. The matter vas finally
settled by the officers of the companies
assuring the agents that the engines
should carry not less than Is gallons of
water during the contest.
The engines did not reach the fair
grounds till nearly 2 o'clock and it was
nearly 5 bef, re the contest began.
The judges were w. r. Belt, assis-
tant chief Washington Fire Depart
mept; V. A. Braunstein and S. II. Wal

were required to have Is gallons of wa

PoL1TICAL.-It is stated in Washing
ton that the republican managers in
their councils have decided to bend
every effort in the coming campaign to-
ward gaining a majority of the State
DELEGATIONS in the House. This is done
for a twofold purpose. One reason, Of
course, is that they want to carry the
House on general principles, but the
main reason is that they desire a ma
iority of the States in the House in or
der that they may hold it over the
democrats as a club, to prevent fusion
with the populists in western States IN
the presidential election.
The significance of this policy is
readily apparent. If the democrats
should have a majority of the House by
States thew could then direct their eff
forts in the presidential campaign to
throwing the election of the President
into the House. This would be accom-
plished by combining with the popu-
lists in western States, which under
ordinary circumstances are republican.
1t would not be necessary for the dem
ocrats to look out for their presidential
electors but to split up the vote for
electors as much as possible between
the three parties.
On the other hand, if the republicans
hold the majority in the House by
states the democrats will be forced to
make a straight fight for their presiden-
tial electors. They must fight both the
populists and republicans for their cleo
tors. They cannot combine with poT-
ulists anywhere. The result will be
that in certain western States the re-
~publicans would be afforded a fair field
and a square fight in the presidential
election, unhampered by the combina-
ton ofthe democrats and populists.

THE MUcH-NEEDED RAIN.-The
cloudy and threatening weather of yes
terday produced the long-wished-for
rain last night, which the parched earth
has absorbed with avidity. Though
there had been some slight sprinkles
during yesterday, it was about nine
o'clock at night when rain began TO fall
copiously and it has been kept up with
slight intermissions since. 1t has been
several months since this section has
been visited by 8 protracted rain, and
crops have suffered considerably, in
some cases having been ruined by the
drought. There is now, however, a rain
area over this vicinity, extending for
miles, which has rendered the tempera-
ture cool and agreeable and is impart-
ing to vegetation a freshness after the
s%corching it received from the piercing
rays of the sun during the past few
weeks.

D,v CoRBIN AGAIN.-This individ-

ob;cten thief are we'll known. was ar
.asted some months ago for robbing the
nramises of a colored man named Ma
ifan of all his stock. He was sent on
~ court. but managed to be dismissed
r.om the charge when the case came on
tor trial. While in Jail waiting to be
brought in court he made his escape,
Int was finally captured. Before being
discharged by the court he donned a
n~orter's apron, pretended he was en-
r,ged in honest work and told his old
sc9Iaintances he had turned overa new
loaf was a different man, &c, &c. The
mice. however, kept their eyes on him,
bainr convinced it was but a matter of
time when they would have to do with
him again. About three o'clock this
morning. while Officers Griffin and How
con we're in the vicinity of the w. & o.
denot they saw three suspicious. looking
men in the vicinity, who, it appeared,
were preparing to rob q car. One of
the trio was Dan. The three started
down Lee street, and the officers, sur
missing they would return, hid and
awaited further development. 1t was
not long before Corbin returned and
becan to sneak among the cars, when
the officers, to his CONSERVATION, sui
denly confronted him. In answer to their
questions he stated that he and two other
men had made an engagement to meet
there and afterwards visit a house in
the bottom adjoining. 1t was determ-
med TO arrest him as a suspicious char
acter, and upon being searched at the
station house q loaded revolver was
found in one of his pockets. Mayor
strauss this morning fined him $50, and
if he fails to pay the amount he will be
put on the chain gang for four months.

THE New RACE TRACK.-A dispatch
from Washington to the Philadelphia
Record SAYS Not since the time when

George Lorillard, John Hunter, the
DIVER brothers, ID. d. Withers and q
host of other turfmen of the North and
South met here every year to race at

Jockey Club has there been such a
prospect for high-class sport in this
section as that promised by the coming
meeting of the Virginia Jockey Club,
which begins on October Is and con-
tinues without intermission for a period
of 3S days. On Monday a party OF
New Workers, in company with Score
tary H. d. McIutyre, of the Brooklyn
Jockey Club, and J. n. Kirk, both OF
whom are interested in the racing
venture, visited the track and found
the improvements in an advanced stage
of completion. The track is located at
St. Asaph, a small suburb just across
the Potomac river, and about 10
minutes ride from Washington. A
new three-quarter mile track has beer
built, with a quarter-mile straightaway'
so that mile races can be run with but
w turns. The track is 20 feet wide,
admirably graded at the turns, well
drained on either side and is now all
but completed. The men are at work
scraping, planning aud rolling it so as to
make q hard and smooth foundation,
and this coming week a top dressing OF
soil, with a slight mixture of sand,
sufficient to make it light and spriney.
will be added. The track construction
and all the improvements are in the
hands of experienced men. Philip Daw-
son, we'll known to racing men, is the
track superintendent.
