HOPING AGAINST HOPE.
Discharged Government Clerks Of Long
 Service Unfitted for Other Work.

Discharged Government Clerks Of Long
 Service United for Other Work.
 A treasury clerk who was discharged early in the life of the present ad- ministration, after many years of service, walked up the steps of the big stone building one night some time ago and shot himself through the hears with pistol. His body lying on the steps that he had climbed so often was an object lesson to all of the gov ernment employees in Washington. 1t Is sad feature of department life at the capital that large proportion of the clerks who are removed seem una- ble thereafter to earn living. They become possessed, moreover, of the idea that Washington is the only city to live in, and that they must hang on to residence here by hook or by crook. A large share of Wash ington's population Is made up of former congressman, public officials, and employees of all sorts, who, having come here, refuse to go away again. Some of them are prosperous, but by far the greater number depend upon their friends and charity for living. 1t is noticeable, too, that men who have been removed after long service in the departments continue to haunt the building in which they were em- ployed, as though, by looking at it each day, they could exert a charm that would restore their names to the pay roll. This is particularly true of those who have spent long years be- Ia l.. I ment: and every morning large num- Der of these men walk down Fifteenth street at the usual hour for opening the department, and finger about the hotels, saloons and cigar shops in the neighborhood until closing them in the afternoon, when they return home with the tide of hu- manity that flows out of the great workshop. The unfortunate man who blew out his brains on the treasury steps apparently was moved by no cause except grief for having lost his place in the treasury He was pensioner to a large amount for the loss of leg in the war, and had other sources of in- come. He was one of the company of discharged men who met every day on Fifteenth street opposite the treasury building. and his former companions still make their daily pilgrimages to this apparently fascinating locality. It does not occur to any of them. proba- bly, that if they would desert their old haunts and start out in new field they might soon forget that they ever drew their daily sustenance from Uncle Sam's trib.-N.

BREfkI1NRIDGE
.4PPOIyT.nENT.

41f OIN &H414f I r
 The President has conferred a high and distinguished honor upon the Hon. Clifton R. Breckinridge, Representative from the Second Congressional district of Arkansas. As was announced in our telegraphie dispatches yesterday, Mr. Breckin- ridge was nominated by the Pres ident 10 be Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at St. Peters burg, Russia. This is one of the highest diplomatic positions at the disposal of the President, and in view of our constantly increasing trade and conner cial relations with the land of Cossacks, it is one of the most inn portant offices of the Government.
 The position is one of the highest in rank in diplomatic service and commands the highest salary paid by the Government in that service, the first-class powers being Eng. land, France, Germany and Russia, the salary of the minister to eact being ST 300 per annum.
 It has generally been conceded throughout the country since MT Breckinridge's defeat for renomina tion to Congress that the President would find place for him in thC diplomatic or consular service, ant the opportunity has been found il the resignation of Andrew D. White The country is not surprised, there fore, at MT Breekinridge's appoint ment, only it.has come much earlier than expected, for it was hardly be lieyed that Mr. Breckinridge would be appointed to any position befor, the expiration of his term in Con gress. However, the il health 0 Minister White made it necessary for his resignation to be accepted as early as was compatible with tn, public service, and the fact that tn, tariff bill, to which Mr. Breckinridg, has addressed himself so assiduously Is about out of the way, it seem. that the appointment came at al opportune time to serve as q fitting crown and just reward for his dis tinguished services in behalf o tariff reform and the Democrat, party.
 In Mr. Breckinridges appoint ment Arkansas has been honored as she has been honored but few time. in her history. With the exception of the appointment of MT. Garland as Attorney-General during Cleve lands first administration, Arkan sas has never before been the re cipient of such a distinguished com pliment. Since Arkansas first be came State this is the first time she has ever furnished a Minister Plenipotentiary to ore of the first rate powers. And in Clifton k. Breekinridge the people of tho United States will have a represen. tative of whom al-regardless oi party-can well feel proud. He is a statesman, student and philosopher, a polished gentleman of suave and atfable manners, dignifed in deport. ment, winning in ways, courtly in bearing and one who is calculated to make friends at any foreign court on the face of the earth
 In honoring Mr. Breekinridge the President has honored the great State of Arkansas, and the GRAPHIC reloices with all true Arkansans in felicitating over this distinguished honor conferred upon our State.
 May Arkansas produce more of Breckinridge's kind

THE Pine Bluff Commercial very
wisely remarks: "The government
of the United States, the constitu-
ton and the laws, and the great
Democratic party, will stand, no
matter who is defeated for con-
gress. When Frank Heard OF ONO,
and VIM. R. Morrison, of Illinois,
the greatest of tariff reformers,
we're defeated twelve years ago, 1t
was though that tariff reform was
dead on its feet, The party hardly
felt the loss, so prolific of great
minds is our common country. The
defeat of Maj. Breckenridge will not
end the government. The tariff
reform question is the Democratic
party. Arkansas, too, will survive
as one of the sovereign and pro-
gressive states of the Union

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Adopted by the Democratic State Con-
vention at Little Rock, Ark,
June %. 1894.

The Democratic party OF Arkan-
sas in convention assembled hereby
re-affirms its faith in and allegiance
to the time honored principles of
the national Democratic party as
expressed IN its platforms and rati-
ied in its legislation throughout
the history of the government. In
addition thereto it makes the fol-
lowing specific declarations
We insist upon strict compli-
ance with the repeated declara-
tions of the party in favor of a tar
if for revenue only, to the end that
the protection favored by the Re
publican party and crystalized in
the infamous determinations OF the
Mckinley bill, shall be anuulled and
a fair competition in the markets
Of the world shall be opened to the
producers of all classes in the Uni
ted States, and fair exchange for
our surplus products thereby secur-
ed
To the end that taxation may be
distributed on an equitable basis
and accumulated property pay its
fair share of the expenses OF the
government, which have for so long
a time been borne by the cOnsump-
tion of the people. We favor an
income tax,
We still consider the act of 1873,
whereby silver was demonetized, as
the greatest legislative crime of the
century, and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at a ratio of sixteen to
one as it then existed.
We believe the constitutional
power to borrow money should be
exercised by Congress only in the
event of great emergencies when
the power to levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
ments of the occasion cannot be en-
forced without manifest oppression
of the people. Therefore we are
opposed to the issue of bonds in
time of peace.
We congratulate the Democratic
party and the people upon the re-
peal of the odious Federal election
law.
We favor the continuedmaintain-
ance of our free public schools in
the interest of general intelligence
and public information
Believing that home rule and To-
cal self Government are cardinal
principles in a Republican govern
ment, we therefore endorse and APP
prove the action of the legislature
of Arkansas in eAacting laws rele-
eating to the people the right of
settling the liquor question for
themselves in accordance with the
wishes and sentiments of the conn
try affected
We congratulate the people upon
the faithful and economical admin
istration of her state government
under Democratic rule, and invoke
the cooperation of all good citizens
in the perpetuation of so desirable
a condition of affairs,
