FOR TWINS OR TRIPLETs.
A sample Letter Received at the White
House.


From the Baltimore Sun.
Ever since some wag put atioat the
story that the president had given a sum
of money to the parents of twins or trip
let's, the white house mail las been filled
with letters o, application on that score,
and it is estimated that at least $4,000 a
day might be discussed there at the rale
of 800 to each applicant. A sample OF
the kind of letters that come in the mail
to the president is the following, which
is sent by man in Texas:
Mr.. President Cleveland Dear Sir-L
see You are giving $500 for twins. Please
send me 500 right away, for am going
to get married this week to a girl that is
a twin. | need the money to start house
keeping with. l have always been a
democrat. | voted for you the first time
and Will vote for you again and name the
twins after you. Don't disappoint me"
In another case woman writes that
she has failed after waiting year to get
that $500 that the president is said to
give the parents of triplets, and now she
is willing to compromise on the basis of
the money for the first pair of trousers
for her little Cleveland. The clerks at
the white house do not permit any of
these illusions to reach the president,
and they are not even dignifed with an
answer, now that they have been so nu-
merous and annoying. There is not a
word of truth in the story that the presi-
dent has ever allowed such bounties.

America is a great country, but we
have not the best manners in the world.
In 10 other civilized land are there such
gangs of toughs and hoodlums. There
are murderers and thieves, but even they
are not SO utterly tough as the lawless
American A little incident will show
the difference. In the capital of Sweden
there are some bronze lions in public
square. The city children used to mount
upon the backs of these. 1t was desired
to stop them. No policeman stood there
and drove them rudely off. That was
not necessary. The only thing done was
to plant flower beds and borders around
the statues. That protected them as eff
fectually as if a row of soldiers with
bayonets had guarded them. How long
would flower beds keep American chill
dren off a given space without signs for
bidding them to tread upon it and po-
hceman to see that they obeyed?

If it is right that this country should
permit the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, why should democrats be asked to
oppose it because populists favor it?
This seems to us to ::be about as absurd
as would be a proposition that protes,

because catholics believe in it.

News comes from San Francisco that
some ship-wrecked sailors had to eat a
dog to keep from starving. Dog meat
as a steady diet cannot be regarded as
appetizing, but it will be rare delicacy
compared to the crow which some of our
esteemed contemporaries will have to
eat after the next democratic cOnven-
ton.

Speaking of lawyers fees, little girl
in Brooklyn lost both her feet by being
run over by trolley car some time ago.
She sued the company and the judgment
in her favor was $13, 268.68. The court
has now ordered the company to pay the
girls lawyer S7,244.85 cents as his share
of the Judgment, leaving the cripple girl
as her share the more modest portion of
Sc, O23 .83. Presumably the division was
made in accordance with law, but it
does not seem to be in accordance with
justice.
