To Lead the Minuet.

What gave me as much trouble back
in Idaho last campaign remarked SEN
ator Dubois TO a Washington Star writer
as anything else was what one might
call a social misunderstanding. l was up
to Senator Brice's house to dinner one
evening, and CHANGED to be next to Mrs
Carlisle the secretarys good wife was
just then earnestly bent on a minuet to be
danced in one of the local theaters for
gate money, the latter to be devoted to the
rehabilitation of Jackson's tomb which
mauSoleum was getting much out of re-
pair At the dinner she turned TO me and
after considering me attentively for a
moment, asked me u ! would not lead the
minuet. | supposed it was a bit of hu-
NOR. did not regard myself as an ex-
pert in either the matter of minuets or
any other fashion of dance. To carry out
what 1 deemed was an excellent Jest, | re-
piled:
Yes. certainly. / will lead the minuet
with great pleasure.
The next day Travelled south with the
funeral of Senator Colquitt. While in Geor-
gia / saw with something like a cold chill
an announcement in the Washington Star
that | was scheduled to lead the coming
minuet. l came back TO Washington and
corrected this false impression as quick
ly as l could, but it was too late. In
about two weeks the returns became TO
come in from Idaho. The populist papers
especially were very Indignant. Some
would run comments like this:
We see by the Washington Star that
Dubois is about 10 lead minuet. If they
Will try him on the lariet polka, or a po-
catello reel. he will perform much more
satisfactorily. Dubois was brought up in
rattlesna<e country, and; can make a
backward jump of nine feet
Another paper took IL sadly-something
like this
Here is a good thing, we don't think
We note by the Washington papers that
while the impoverished people of Idaho
are jumping sidewise for grub, Dubois is
in Washington dancing mnuets to put an
other coat of paint on the tomb of Andrew
Jackson. If he viii show the same agility
in getting through Silver bill, IS to /,
we will find no fault. But, with present
business prospects in Idaho and silver too
dead TO skin. it doesn't look we'll to see
Idahos senior senator leading down the
revels at the capital
Not only did the papers take bitter
view of the affair, but one populist con-
vention passed resolution denouncing
me and my minuet. Altogether l got a
very hard time out of it, One of the
grave questions which had to meet while
making speeches last fall was this minuet
accusation However, / think it is thor
oughly understood In Idaho now that my
past is free from minuets, and that my
future promises TO be: absolutely barren
of this engaging dance"

Again the. Old Proprietor.

A young newspaper man working his
way east from Denver tells me of some
amusing incidents of his experience in a
city which is one of Denver's rivals, says

an old fellow who had worked bis way
from poverty TO proprietorship and whose
proprietorship of newspaper was acquIr-
ed under a mortgage foreclosure.
AS soon as the old man got hold of the
property he began 10 look around TO fnd
out where he could save a few dollars in
the running expenses. Several weeks pass
ed before he Ventured a suggestion. Said
he: do you know that fellow in the

The America. cup Contest.

The impression IS quite strong. and ap-
pears 10 be growing. that the Englishmen
who have come to This country to contend
for the Americas cup viii carry the prize
home with them. This impression is due
almost wholly 10 the accidents with
which the Defender has met since her con-
struction was begun.
There have been several Of those acci-
dents When she was launched she stuck
in the groves. In the opinion OF sailors an
accident Of that kind means misfortune 10
the vessel Of some sort. The Defenders
next mishsp was the arrangement of her
stearing gear. This occurred on her run
from Huntington to New Haven. The next
trouble she had was the breaking of her
gan in the Geolet cup race. Then when she
9,was at Newport she stuck IN the mud and
1t was thought at the time of that acct
dent that's was strained, though if she
was damaged 1t was not discovered. Her
last misfortune was the springing of her
masthead IN her race with the Vigilant for
the Astor cup last Tuesday. She was COM
PEELED on account of that mishap to with
draw from the race when it was about half
finished.
1t is admitted that the Defender is a re-
markedly fast boat, but the fear is ex-
pressed that she is too light for the heavy
work she may have to do. The doubt of
her ability to keep the cup on this side Of
the ocean is based upon the fear that she
will suffer some accident that will take her
out Of the race and not to any lack of con
fdence in her sailing qualities.
Valkyrie III is much stronger boat
than the Defender. No fears are entertain
ed that she will not be able to stand any
strain to which she may be subjected.
And she is a remarkably fast sailer. Since
her arrival in this country and yachtsmen
have had a chance to inspect her the good
opinion previously entertained by her has
been confirmed
The apprehension respecting the Defend
er's ability to meet the requirements of
hard blow may be unfounded. 1t is to be
hoped it is. Stll, her four mishaps have
caused feeling of disappointment in re-
gard to her. She may dispel all fears in
respect to her fitness for position as de-
fender of the cup in her next race with the
Vigilant which occurs Tuesday, Aug. q.
That race will have much influence upon
the betting on the result of the contest.

Ex-eonsuI woIIcr.. LncL

Ex-Consul to Madagascar John L. Wal
len of Kansas is not going to rot in a
French prison." as some of our emotional
contemporaries recently expressed the
fear he would. He is going to be set at
liberty shortly, and the chances are that
not very long after he gets his liberty he
will get alsora big sum of money for the
pecuniary and mental damages he has sus-
tanned. 1t is said this government will
demand $lO0O,OOO for him, and that the
reason his case has been proceeded with
so slowly and cautiously is that the gov
eminent wished TO get everything in or
der, so as to make an effective claim for
damages. Presumably the arrangements
are now about completed. and mat
tiers will be brought to head without un-
necessary delay.
Waller would probably prefer to stay
in prison year or two longer, If neces-
sary, and get damages, than to get a SIM
pie vindication and be released immediate
ly. His actions in Madagascar, which
aroused the ire of the Frenchmen, were
strictly in the line of taking care of his
own pecuniary interests. He had con-
cession of certain india rubber rights from
the native government, and he aimed 70
get everything possible out of those rights.
He did not care three straws for the Hova
government as a government, or for the
French government. and probably not for
the United States government until he got
in trouble and wished the United States
government to help him out of it, The
chances are that he would never have
made 100000. or the fourth part of that
sum, out of his concession, hence, upon
the whole his arrest was probably the be-
ginning of the biggest piece of luck he
ever had or ever will have.
