NDSECUREs PHOTOGRAPH;

The coming of Della Fox, who
brings her curl with her, has ex-
cited preternaturally the fair and
seductive stenographer in the vari-
Gus departments of the state cap
1tol. The honor of having started
the first Della Fox curl lies between
Miss Tanning, of the bank exem-
1ner's office, and Miss Minnie Clark,
OF the boiler inspectors "cave Of

ladies now cultivate a curl, attend
ing to matters of official routine
during the infrequent intervals.
Secretary Berg spent half day last
week experimenting on the locks of
Commissioner Powers, in order to
decide on the most efficacious brand
OF curling irons to order for the
various departments. Everywhere
can be detected the pleasing results
OF his labors. The odor of singed
tresses hung over the corridors Sat
urday afternoon like the aroma of
incense burned upon the altar of
Venus.
MISS Dora Tanning held her cur1

PATTERSON AS A MoUTHPIECE.

Hon. Josiah Patterson, of Tennessee, has
been north and east and in Washington and
has had a talk with Secretary Carlisle
which he carefully -Syised and gave to
the press from the security of his o wD home.
Mr.. Patterson made a decided reputa-
ton by the firm position he assumed in
support OF the lepeal OF the bullion pur-
chase clause Of the so-called Sherman
act, when his colleagues from the South
were almost to a man on the other side.
He earned the cuckoo" cognomen and
among all the Southern Cong ressmen none
was SO deeply in the confidence of the
Presidential family as he.
This statement lends weight to the inter
view with Mr.. Patterson which appears
in the news columns of the Times this even
ing, in which the honorable gentleman
says that Mr.. Carlisle does not con-
template the necessity of another bond is
sue and that there is no probability, even
if there be possibility, of the nomina-
ton of President Cleveland as the next
candidate of his party.
Such utteraDces, coming from one hav-
ing the relations of Mr.. Patterson with
the White House coterie, fall like the gen.
tie dew from heaven. There is no doubt
Of his sincerity in regard to the bond issue.
The Presidential nomination is a minor
matter, but Mr.. Patterson's opinion may
be accepted as expressive of the gossip
that is now the oracular declaration of
the kitchen cabinet.

AN AUXILIARY TO CRIME.

The excise board is doubtless vigilant
in looking after violations of the law,
but its circular letter notifying saloon
keepers that they are not complying with
the regulations requiring bars to be exposed
between the hours of 2 O'Clock midnight
and 4 O'Clock a. m, secular days and during
all the hours of Sundays, looks little like
asking an offender not to do it again.
If there are violations of the law, as stated
by the excise board, they should be pun
ished without SO much ceremonious mott
fications For the public is exceedingly
weary Of SO many brass band pretensions
at the performance of duty on the part of
some of our District officials.
The public would also like to know
whether or not the excise board proposes
to punish the Illegal sales of liquor con-
stantly being made in the Division. There
are eighty-one houses in that section which
sell liquor contrary to law at all hours of
day and night, Sundays included; and If
licensed liquor dealers are to be prosecuted
for not exposing their bars to view, accord
ing 20 excise board regulations, it Is a bout
time this speak-easy traffic of liquor was
stopped.
Saloons are models of moral excellence
compared to the drinking .1ens of bawd5
houses, and 1t would be infinitely better
10 throw them open to the free and un
licensed sale of liquor than to allow Its
unlawful traffic to longer continue in the

With more ievely rose than grows

And, orchard, in this autumn weather,
Brave in the rose and gold together.
Once you had country air. and knew
Sweetness of country sun and dew!
How long since fled your nightingale,
Your Hamadryad, slender and pale?
Because the town, so rough and rude,
Broke in on your sweet solitude
How long since swallows wings of blue
Forgot one spring to visit You?
How long since thrush and blackbird fled
And since you monrned the lark for dead?
Poor London orchard. year by year
Grown more hopeless prisoner,
And more securely bound in chains
OF streets and squares and roads and lanes.

And twines eacl; spring her bridal wreath,
Although one spring decrees her death.

THE MORA CLAIM.

OF the volumes that have been written
in regard to the Mora claim the chapter
that is OF most vital interest Is that
which describes the vigorous action Of
the President aud Secretary of State in
demanding that the long standing damages
should be paid without further delay.
The correspondence between the two gov
ernments is not published III full, but enough
is given to the public TO Indicate that it
was short, sharp, and decisive on the part
OF the United States.
One OF the mysteries connected With this
remarkable transae son is that the govern
ment of the United States did not long ago
insist upon the payment OF the claim; and
one OF the curious features OF the delay
is that years ago IL was charged that
United States minister t. SSain became
an attorney of the Spanish government to
assist it to fight claims against 1t of
American citizens.
The important features Of the matter,
however, is that this administration in
sisted upon prompt payment, and it must
be inferred that this unusual energy was
due to feeling sympathetic with the
Cuban movement for independence.
Naturally the public will expect other
action on the part of President Clevc-
land and Secretary of State Olney which
will force the Spanish government TO more
liberal treatmclt of Cuba, il not to an
abandonment Of the brutal and criminal
misrule which has reduced Cuban citi-
zens to the condition Of slaves.

PROTECTION OF DIPLOMATS"

One OF the many general laws which
demand modification is that one which pro-
tects Il person attached in any capacity TO q
foreign legation from arrest and penalty
for almost any offense, and imposes pun
ishment upon the Official wso causes
insult TO the sacred person of such diplomat
or associate of diplomats.
The absurdity of this law is gain brought
to the front by the arrest and imprison-
mcnt in New York of an attache of the
Venezuelan legation for insulting women
on street corners.
One of the worst features of this case
is the minister's attempt 10 shield the
offender by taking advantage of the alb
surd antique law which protects diplo-
mats from the profane touch of police
officials. These attaches are very often
the black sheep of some family of political
influence, who are sent away at the ex-
pense of their respective governments for
the sake of peace and good order among
their own people. Representatives of for
eign countries owe it to themselves and
to their governments to permit none but
gentlemen to be part of their diplomatic
families.
1t goes without saying that the great
ma jority of foreign legations have never
had attaches who have given offense.
Their corps are composed OF thorough gen
tlemen. In diplomatic circles there viii
be no difficulty in singing out lega ations
Of another character to which reference is
made.

SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD.
PIanks Made of Cork VIII Be Used in
Many of the New Ships.

Several months ago the board ofinspection
and survey of the Navy Department was di-
rected to make an Investigation with a view
of obtaining some practical substitute for
wood in fitting naval vessels, says an ex-
change The desire for a substitute was
the fact that a lighter material was wanted,

CHOLERA IN CHINA

Absolutely authentic reports that Ash
attic cholera OF the most virulent character
is destroying the population of many prov
inces in China give color to the theory that
the dreaded disease was introduced into
the Hawaiian Islands by Chineseimmigrants.
In some of the infected provinces hundreds of
deaths are reported to have occurred daily,
and no quarantine prevents immigrants
from the afflicted districts from taking
passage for America.
Apparently the Chinese exclusion law is
a dead letter. Lies sworn to effect the
entrance of washee-washees MS students and
'business men," and where lies fail to ac-
complish an entrance, smuggling is sue
cessful, which, as has been shown, is some
times connived at by agents OF the United
States Government.
The contagion of cholera, to say nothing
of other affections not necessarily cOnta.
gious, are known to be q constant accom-
paniment OF the uncleanly and whole
some life of the Chinese race. Usually e-.s
excites little attention. butt the terrible
ravages of cholera reported at this time
should act as an effectual and final stop,

offensive than that from any other country

9. T. RICHARDSON.
THE EAGLE SCREAMS AGAIN.

The fact that England is with us on the
bond sale is encouraging Every time our
Treasury gets into trouble and President
Cleveland is reported as contemplating an
other issue of bonds the British press
begins to gush over his remarkable cour-
age and financial ability. All OF which is
true considered from the standpoint of
those who furnish the gold TO purchase
the bonds. But how about the people who
pay the interest and who vigorously pro-
test against secret bond sales to foreign
syndicates?
The public disapproval of the last con-
tract with the Belmont Rothschild com.
bine seems to have had about as much ef-
feet on President Cleveland as fly spcck
would have on the sun, inasmuch as au-
other one is being arranged with the same
capitalists. At the time of the last sale
IL was demonstrated the United States could
have purchased the bonds without the as
sistance of foreigners, and there was gen
eral Indignation that our capitalists were
not given an opportunity to do SO. But
Yankee gold lured from our Treasury
by the grecnback siren and carried across
the water, to be returned by British capi-
taiists at the demand of the President,
seemed TO be the proper financial policy.
Therefore American capitalists had to sub
init.
As matter of patriotism. it,. he Treasury
is to be made an objcct of speculation
for gold traders, the preference should be
given American capitalists. At the
last bond sale number of them were re-
fused opportunity 10 get into the deal be-
cause the Rothschilds did not want TO
divide profits-an injustice that shosld
cause the eagle on our coin to scream in ve-
hement protest.
About S247 100000 in greenbacks have
been issued If President Cleveland au-
thorizes another $50 100000 bond Issue
these Treasury-railers will have piled up
an Indebtedness of S3l2, 100000 within
the last two years, and the question
that must be answered is, how long the
country can stand this method of enriching
gold spectators.
