Holmes, private secretary of Damon,

ST. PAUL, Feb. l2.-The special cor
respondent of The Dispatch at Washing
ton says:
NV. M. Campbell fails Of confirma-
tion as marshal it by no means follows
that Cardinal O'Connor viii be ap-
pointed. Mr.. Doran himself is suspi
cious Of White House double deals
ever since he was promised McCaff-
erty's appointment for district attor-
ney. And Dan Lawler has never yet
condoned the .treachery Of the presi-
dent in violating his solemn promise
to Daniel that he should have the
privilege of naming the district attor-
ney. 1t is true that Doran and Lawler
are willing and eager to forgive Mr..
Cleveland, but as q condition precedent
he must agree to appoint O'Connor
marshal. But there is little man not
much over four feet in height who is a
lightweight when compared with the
robust physique of Dan Lawler and the
ruddy appearance of M. Doran.
In Case Campbell Fails.
Congressman o. MI. Hall has strong
pull with the president. and he has been
doing great work for Campbell during
the past week. Now, IL Campbell does
not land the confirmation. Hall will be
in position where he may come and
get it for one of his friends, and there il
every probability that he win be able te
name the man.
!. "A test of Halls influence with the pres
ident was had when Mr.. Cleveland was
| importuned to owithdraw the nomination
of Campbell. J.. j. Hill asked it, and
Doran and Lawler both made The same
request. IL ID said that she president
had about made up his mind 10 acceds

sent for Hall. "A conference OF half al
hour settled the matter.
The president decided that he woul6
stand by his nomination. He also sem

The non-arTival here of La Gascogne,

Rudenesr on the streets.

Editor Morning News: A few weeks ago,
two ladies who were strangers in this fair
southern city, were insuted by some
young girls on Bull street, and 1 then
thought of writing a few lines to your pa
per regarding the matter but thought af-
forwards I would let it blow over, but as
it was repeated yesterday on Brough-
whom it was done before, and also to a
lady friend she had with her. l beg res
pectfuly to draw the attention of parents
to this bad behavior of some of the Sa-
vannah young girls, whom L should judge
by their dress Chat is if any one can
judge by the dress) belonged to the class
of society that should know better.
The question arises: Are the children of
this rising generation being brought up
properly or are they allowed to run wild?
In this our age of civilization and progress
it IS deplorable to know that ladies when
walking out are to be subjected to the in
suits of mere children.
one OF the ladies yesterday whom these
young girls insulted is my wife, and she
spoke to the young girls about their be-
haVlor in reply to which they laughed in
her face and lowered themselves so far as
10 spit on the ground at her.
Ladies who are strangers in your fair
CITY OF the south naturally feel this treat
ment very keenly as also do those with
Whom they are connected
These young girls, whom ever they may
pc, should be severely reprimanded, as
well as taught to know better. for their
penaVlor makes bad impression on the
stu younger children, and as Socrates
says: The first impressions are the last
ing impressions on the youth"
l am sure that the parents of these
young girls would be greatly grieved to
even think, much less to know, that their
children had behaved in such a manner
in the public streets, and hope they may
never know.
To be civil and courteous costs moth
ing, and our children should be taught
this important lesson. 1t is a duty that
both old and Young should ever wish IN
perform, whether it be to high or low. rich
or poor. Sincerely trust that what hap
pened yesterday, may not happen again.
