will be glad when Amos comes back
to Congress, and, judging from
what he says, there is little doubt
of his coming. This is the way he

President Cleveland will mako q
short stay at Washington. as he is
due at the Atlanta Exposition next
week. When be returns from At.
lanta be Will settle down to the
winters work, and he will End
plenty OF it on hand. In addition
to other important work which he
must take up, he will have only
little more than month within
which to write his annual message
to Congress, and it will probably
be one of the most difficult mes-
sages he has ever had to write.
The message, although addressed
TO congress, will really be written
TO the country,as nobody knows
any better than the President that
nothing short Of public sentiment
will be sufficient TO make the Re-
publican Congress accept his rec
concentrations as to legislation,
however wise they may be.
When a man makes gigantic ass
OF himself the best thing be can do
is TO keep quiet about II. Some men
don't know enough to do this.
One Of them is Lord Saekville
West. who was British Minister 20
the United States until given his
passport, il 1888, by Secretary Bay.
ard, who acted under the instruc.
tons Of President Cleveland, for
having allowed himself TO be trap
ped into writing a letter to bo used
as Republican campaign docu
nment. That SackviIle should be
sore " natural. But IN rakinQ 10
the whole business in pamphlet
published for distribution among
his friends he has not vindicated
himself; he has only confirmed the
previous held opinion Of him, and
shown that the years which have
passed since his humiliatng dcpar-
ture from America have added
nothing TO his discretion. The
dime museum manager who offered
him an engagement then would be
glad to give him double the money
now and as freak be would un
questionably draw we'll.
