Long in Leadership.

During more than a third of a CEN
fury the politicians have been trying
to kill off Mr.. Thomas C. Plat, but he
survives them all. A few days ago
Mr. Depew gave a dinner in honor of
certain gentlemen who want to live in
the white house; the dinner seems to
get mention chiefly because Mr.. Plat
was one of the guests. Mr. Plat is
power-sx-P Harrison realizes
as the result of untoward experience
that II will not do to overlook Plat.
Even away back in the times when
Platt was deemed to be a mere me
too" to Conkling. Plat was really the
man Of strength in the running of New
York republican politics and, to this
day, If republican movements In New
York do not go Mr.. Platt's way, they
are pretty apt TO go to pieces.
A dozen Tammany chiefs have come
and gone during the period Of Mr.
Platts supremacy. He has fought
them or put up political jobs with
them alternately as has happened to
suit his purpose. The western repub-
leans meet together in national con-
ventions and fix up their schemes, but
nothing comes of IL all If Mr.. Plat
happens not to be satisfied.
Personally, Mr.. Plat has few OF the
qualities that are found in. popular
leaders. Yet he has power. and he has
held it longer than any man we know
of in this country's modern politics.
| Within his party he has been whipped
more than once. but he never stays
| down. In New York they thought that
| they had him finished last autumn,
but he is conspicuouslv in sight to-day
and he knows that the republican as
| pirants for the presidency will dill
| gently dance attendance on him dur
| ing the months TO come.
Mr.. Plat was nearly fifty years old
! when he and Mr.. Conkling resigned
their seats in the senate. In view OF
the fact that New York refused to APP
prove that action. one would think tina
the time was ripe then for his retire
ment from politics. But he neve
stopped, and during all these years h
has managed 10 get even with a goo
many people. Mr.. Depew is handy fl
the dinner line or in presenting tn
social side Of politics, but he is n
manager. Thus IL happens that a
the newspapers remarked upon tn
presence Of Mr.. PIatt in Mr. Depew'
dining room-the business end" O
New York city's republicanism wa
there.

Objections to Living Pictures.

From the Plttsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
"What part are you to take in the anna
teur theatricals. my dear?" asked Mr..
Snaggs of his wife.
"None."
"Why, thought you were one of the
women most interested in the thing"
"Well, I've nothing to do with 1t now"
"But what happened to dampen your
ardor?"
at was just this way. They would not
give me the part wanted, but offered to
put me in one of the tableaux."
'What was the matter with that?
Wouldn't that give you an excellent OPP
portunity to show off your beauty to the
admiring gaze of the audience"
Don't you talk to me, Mr.. Snaggs.
Why, I'd have to keep perfectly still and
not say a word for three whole minutes

Richard Olney is a good lawyer-he
is Massachusetts, man. His record in
the cabinet has been satisfactory in
professional way. Otherwise he has done
nothing to help the administration

uaL The talk is that Mr.. Olney will
be transferred to the department of
state. II for that portfolio a suave
man is wanted, Mr.. Olney is hardly the
man. He had seen next to nothing in
the way of service in public life up to
the time OF his appointment TO the cab

Secretary Carlisle. and. as President
Cleveland thinks well of him, he may
get to be the premier.

1t is a melancholy reflection that
the awful loss of life through the
wrecking of the Colima is the result
of mans carelessness. The fact APP
pears to be pretty well established
that the boat was overloaded. The
cargo, il is said. was badly slowed. and
a heavy deck load of lumber, oil and
live stock made her topheavy. The
Colima was a large boat and staunch
in her build. The gale she encountered
was something terrific. yet many good
seamen believe that she would have
come out of IL all right but for the
fact that a cargo. in the shape she car
ried it. was more than she could
handle. Against this charge of bad
loading the officers of the Pacific Mail
company are earnestly protesting. on
the other hand. men who are expert
enced in this matter say that many
other instances of bad loading can be
sighted and that, i'm their opinion.
that was the trouble with the Colima.

this stage, had entirely forgotten the
minister, and the most diligent search
in the city of Cleveland and all the
country around about for that neces-
sary adjunct to a first-class wedding
who was willing TO arise to the occa-
sion and perform the ceremony has
utterly failed. The good pastors OF
Cleveland all claim to be travelling
heavenward, but they prefer 10 choose
their own means OF conveyance. AS
for the swaying basket of a balloon at
an altitude of 1892 feet above terra
firma, they unanimously declare that
they are not in it, or would not be by
the time 1t came down. 1t seems
strange enough that in a city of the
size and pretensions of Cleveland there
is not to be found a single minister
whose love of country is strong enough
to save the Fourth of July programme
from collapse, even if needs be at some
small personal risk of humping into the
Pleiades or tumbling into the stellar
universe.
The Cleveland preachers should be
made of sterner stuff. A good many
of them no doubt have had consider
able experience soaring in the clouds
of a Sunday, and their unwillingness
TO officiate in such a. role in celebration
Jointly of the foundation of the Ameri-
can republic and the ancient and hon
orable institution of matrimony is
something very remarkable. AS II is.
the committee on arrangements is
obliged TO advertise for a minister from
out of town to come in and save the
day. Possibly the very Rev. Jerry
Rounder of Butte, could be prevailed
upon for suitable consideration. II
he wishes to get as high up in the
world as possible, here's his chance.
Unless he or some other worthy and
aspiring divine comes to the rescue. 1t
looks very much as II the people Of
Cleveland will have TO forego the spec
tacle of wedding in the upper circles.
and as If, also. the young couple will
be forced to buy their own dish pans,
family Bibles and baby carriages.

n BAD GANG
Brought to Grief by Ohicer Gees Pluck
and Bravery.

Brought to Grief by Officer Gees Pluck
and Bravery.
Officer Gee is man who never shirks
duty, however disagreeable it may be.
On yesterday he was ordered by the
chief of police to break up very dis
reputable establishment on Franklin
roSd, near Eleventh avenue southwest.
The denizens OF that abode had made
several vicious attacks recently on citi-
zeDs OF Roanoke, and had otherwise
manifested such disorderly disposition
that breaking up of the lawless gath-
ering became absolutely necessary.
After receiving his orders the officer
proceeded alone to the plaza in question
and uprooted the nest and turned out
its occupants, who made desperate re-.
distance, for which quite number paid
the penalty Of .heir lives. In order TO
make the destruction thorough the
officer piled straw around the house and
set 1t on fire and there Is no doubt
mum Der of occupants that persisted in the
flames
A gentleman living near seeing what
thorough work Officer Gee had made Of
the yellow jsckeis nest called on him
for assistance in Kidding his stable of q
settlements of bumb BILE bees which ha i
gathered in an empty barrel there.
The officer kicked over the barrel as s
starter in the work, which started the
bees humming for revenge. The owner
OF the stable was attacked without
mercy and lost hat in defending him.
self.
Several fine setter dogs were also un-
willingly drawn into the conflict and
ran bowling away.
Officer Gee escaped without serious
damage, and although the work was
warm for awhile, the owner of the
premises, with his assistance, finally
succeeded in demolishing the barrel and
silencing the bees.

ITO the Honorable John w. Woods,
judge OF the Hastings Court:
The grand jury for the city of Roa-
noke, Va, now in session and attending
upon the Hastings Court Of said city at
its September, 1898, term, beg to report
as follows:
I'VE have taken up and carefully in

or been brought 10 our attention AS to
the special charge your honor gave us
In NO 10 "a
personal property for taxes we found
great difficulty in the outset in getting
testimony Of any value showing that
the law had been violated; s1d while 1t
Is doubtless true that number of par
ties have made false returns to the COM
missioner OF the revenue as to the value
of their personal property, the grand
jury has been unable to get sufficien :
direct proof of the same to warrant
making any indictments, as we do not
believe from the nature OF the evidence
any convict ton could be made.
1.-The grand jury further reports that a
great many cases which came up before
us for investigation seem to have origi-
mated in the saloon at No. 90 Salem ave.
nue. g., and from the nature Of the testi :
mony before US the said saloon must be
the scene OF considerable disorder.

fore US aud now await further direc lions
or discharge.
