The Philadelphia Ledger whose editor
enjoys close intimacy with the Cleve-
land household, remarks that President
Cleveland is not only a vigorously self-re
specting man, maintaining in all places
and at all times the dignity of his great
office, n fine sense of wha Is due to his
own manhood, and most chivalrous re-
spect and honor for womanhood, but he
is also n religious, dcvout man, who
zealously conforms his conduct to his
principles and beliefs. - Philadelphia
Ledger.
1t Is abou. time that such rot as the
above should be characterized as it de-
serves. 1t is the nauseating kind of adula-
ton that tho syoophants who fawn
about the chief executive. and whom
Senator Morgan of Alabama, the ablest
member of the Democratic party, has very
properly characterized as ''cuckoos, f"
have been very assiduous in imposing
upon the American people. They do
not evince any disposition to desist in 1t
although 1t would seem as II the recent
elections should have shown them how
sadly they have under estimated the in
telligence of their fellow citizens. No
''self respecting man maintaining in all
places and at all times the dignity of his
great Office, and fine sense Of what is
due to his own manhood, would ever
have been guilty of sending, with ex-
pressions of warmest friendship. a
representative accredited to a foreign gov
ernment with secret instructions to
conspire with its enemies for its over
throw. There was no 'self respect" or
no fine sense OF what was due the dignity
Of his great Office in that. 1t was trcach-

CARRIER PIGEONS.
How and Where They Have Been Trained
In Greatest Perfection.

In Greatest Perfection.
That pigeons have been used for great
many years for transmission of messages
is well known, but with what nation the
custom originated it is impossible to dis
cover. The Romans used the birds for
this purpose; they were in use among the
Asatics. According to Thorn, their
most remarkable use in modern times was
during the siege of Paris, in 1870.
In Turkey they have been moro generally
used than in any her country, and it is
said that there the art of training them
is carried to its highest perfection. Pr
geons intended for this use are taken, when
they have acquired full strength of wing in
a covered basket to distance of about
half a mile from their home, and then set
at liberty and thrown into tho air II
they return home, the, - then taken to
greater distances, prog l.o-ively increased
from 40 to so miles When the bird is
able to accomplish this flight, he may be
trusted to fly any distance, overland,
within the limits of physical power.
1t is the general plan to keep the birds
In dark room for some hours before they
are used. They are then fed sparingly,
but are given all the water they can drink.
The paper on which the message is written
is tied around the upper part of tho bird S
leg, or to one of the large feathers of the
tail, so as not to impede its flight. Tho
feet are washed in vinegar to keep them
from getting too dry, SO that the bird will
not DO tempted to descend to water and
thus possibly ruin the message
The rate of flight is from 90 to 80 miles
an hour, though the bird has been known
to pass over great distances much more
rapidly. When thrown up in the air, the
pigeon at first flies round and round, as
though for the purpose of sighting some
landmark that it knows. When this is
discovered. it flies toward 1t and thence
onward to its home.

cry; it was abject knavery, and it will
always be to the honor Of the American
people that they repudiated it. So far
as the Presidents "chivalrous respect and
honor for womanbood" is concerned the
less said, perhaps, the better. The great
mistake of the Rev. Mr.. Lansing was
in overlooking the fact that much more
respect is due the office of President OF
the United States, than the personality
Of its incumbent. So long as the men,

SMASH THAT DRUM.

There is a general howl Of indig-
nation at the disturbance created
about the streets at half past five
o'clock every morning by the
marching out of troops with tin
pot fife and drum band. This is
an hour at which many people
are getting their most refreshing
slumber of the night, and there
are but few whose avocations re
quire them to rise before six
o'clock. In the case of people
in poor health, and lately there
haze been a great deal Of sickness,
the noise is an outrage. The
stability of the republic surely
does not depend upon drilling the
garrison in this species of Chinese
tactics. To disturb the peaceful
inhabitants unnecessarily cannot
be useful in the maintenance Of
peace. Let the commpnder-in-
chief cali off the timbrels and tom

remain loyal. There will be a

CABLE TALK.

English and Colonial dispatches
by the Sydney mail indicate that
the Pacific cable question is
warming up. The London Times
urges the Premier to assent to
the proposals of the Ottawa con-
ference, saying that the Colonies
have already taken their part in
welding the Empire, and Colo
NAL taxpayers are bearing their
burdens. 1t urges an Imperial
expenditure of 100000 year on
Pacific steamers and cable, which
would be amply repaid by i'm
proved communication, and would
strengthen the attachment of the
Colonies and develop British in
fuence in the Pacific. On the
other hand, some Of the Australian
Colonies are hesitating about

giving their assent to proposal
from Premier Turner of Victoria
that the Agents General should
be instructed to urge the Pacific
cable question on the Imperial
authorities. There is no doubt,
however, that the matter of
British cable has decidedly pro-
crossed within year past. What
concerns us here most is whether
any cable that will include Ha-
waii in its route is within mea-
surable distance of consummation,

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

According to the Collector-Gen-
erals report for 1894, the excess
Of arrivals Of Chinese over depart
ures was but 1879, although he
states it was l91. In his passen-
ger statistics he reports arrivals:
males ll66, females 1873, child
rem 80, total of 1854; and
departures: males 1918, females
Il, children l79, a total of 1865.
This makes the excess 189. Per-
haps if the Collector Generals
statistics were criticized by an ex-
pert, many discrepancies of a
similar nature would be discov-
cred. A large amount of money
is handled in the Chinese
immigration business, and it
is important to the public that
the records be kept with strict
correctness. Here is a table Of
the receipts of the Government
