DEM AND HIS HEAD.
NEW YORK BANKERS WANT CAR
Isles RESIGNATION.
J. PierpOnt Morgan and Other Wall
Street Magnates Urge the President
to Get New Secretary of the Treas
ury-The Currency Bill.
The President Is Angry.

Washington special: Mr.. ]. Pierpont
Morgan, the famous New York banker,
and some of the other gentlemen who
were taken into the Presidents confidence
last fall concerning an issue of bonds have
been making a secret visit to the White
House on an important errand. They
asked the removal of John q. Carlisle for
the reason that he has demonstrated his
unfitneSs to manage the finances OF the
country and that his continuance in Office
will imperil the public credit and retard
Z Improvement in the financial condition of
the country. Mr.. Morgan and his asso-
ciateS also endeavOred to ascertain where
the President stands with regard to the
currency bill now under consideration by
the House of Representatives.
President Cleveland is said by those
who associate with him to be very angry
at this demand of the New Workers for
Carlisle's head. He is exceedingly in
dignant that a c0terie of bankers should
have the effrontery to poke their noses
! into the administrative affairs of the
government, demanding tire dismissal of
an official whom the President has hon
Ored with his confidence. 1t is pretty GER
tain that they got no satisfaction. 1t
may be confidently stated that the PreFt-
dent declined TO ask for Mr.. Carlisle's
resignation, but he is believed to hare
promised to look after the finances hiIr-
self during the remainder of his adminis-
tration. 1t is known and admitted that
the President informed Mr.. Carlisle CT

The three oldest men in the United
States Senate are Morrill,, of Vermont;
Palmer. of Illinois. and Harris of TenneS-
see. For nearly half 4 century they have
been in public life. Men of deep learn
ing, careful observation and sound judg
ment, they have studied American poll
ties in all its phases and have become
thoroughly acquainted with all measures
of public concern. Naturally they are
looked upon as the Grecian leaders looked
upon the sage of NestOr. and whether on
the floor of the Senate or in the councils
of their parties. the wisdom stored up by
years Of experience is constantly appealed
10 by their associates. They have passed
beyond the mark of three score and ten.
but their venerable frames are yet strong
as the sturdy oak and apparently they
are fully able to serve their country well
through several more sessions.
The Oldest Of the trio is Justin s. Nor
rill, the sage Of the Senate. His life has

Upon both occasions public sentiment
was crystallized through the medium of a
committee of seventy, the main purpose
in 1872 being to overthrow the Tweed
regime, and in 1891 to correct abuses,
known or suspected, in the police and 9TH
er departments of the city government
The exposure of the practice of levying
blackmai by the police, particularly upon
the criminal classes of society, who. in
consideration of their payments of money,
were granted immunity from arrest. was
primarily the work of the Society for the
Prevention of Vice, which procured the
appointment of the State Senate Commit
tee which has become famous under the
name of its Chairman, Mr.. Lexow.
Without an enlargement of the powers
of the Mayor, it is argued, says Il CORES
pondent. Mr.. Strong, whatever may be
his disposition, is as helpless to combat
corruption in the departments as his
predecessors in Office have been. 1t is
proposed to enact a law giving the Mayor
power of removal over heads of bureaus
and an absolute control of the police de-
partment Under the present system,
while the Mayor appoints members of
the police board and other department
chiefs. he may not remove them except
through processes that practically amount
to y deprivation of the power. The franz
ing of new laws touching these points
promises to be as important work as any
that is likely to come before the State
Legislature and to bring out as many
conflicting theories.

RIDING TIE GOAT.

"A Jolly young Irishman, saucy and bold,
Named TimEly O'Hooley, as have been
told
Concluded he could. with perfect Pro-
priety,
Enlist in the ranks of some secret So
ciety.
So looking around the right one to choose,
That gave large returns for very small
dues,
"A lodge I'll not name. it appeared to his
mind,
Was surely the very best one he could
find
Tins petition for membership quickly
was made.
And for fear that the matter might be
long delayed,
He said. Now, b'ys, we must do this up
quicsS,
No tellin' how soon may be gettin' sick,
And wantin' thin dollars ye promise to
lave
To Kate an the baby whin I'm in me
grave"
He was told to appear the next meeting
night.
And the matter would be attended to
right.
Now, the boys of that lodge were full
of their tricks.
And to get Irish Tim in terrible fix,
Concluded to add, by the way of variety,
Something new to the ritual of their So
ciety.
To the meeting Tim came, all dressed in
his best.
Aud anxious to take his seat with the
rest:
But was met at the door by member or
two,
Who said: There's ceremony you must
go through.
Before entering the room you must take
off your coat,
For we hear you are good at riding a
goat"
"Ride goatr' exclaimed Tim, what
the divil is that?
Tis surely some joke We are now drivin'
at:
kin ride on a horse very stylish an
neat,
But to get on a goat, what'll 1 do with me
feet?"
But he took off his coat and they bandaged
his eyes,
Put belt round his waist, to Tins great
surprise.
Then babe him to enter and he quickly
would see
How soon he'd be raised to the second de-
gree
A stout rope and tackle were placed near
the door,
BY the belt poor Tim was raised from the
floor,
Back and forward he swung, a comical
sight,
Kicking and sprawling with all of his
might.
~Let me down! let me outr' he cried in
alright,
bad cess to me sowl that 1 came here
tonight
The rope quickly slackened, and Tim
came down plump
In big vat of water just fresh from the
pump.
"Och, murther: I'm drowned! By me
sowl, it's shame!
He Katy's a wildly, an don't know the
samep'
Cried Tim in rage, as he sprang to the
floor,
Tore the blind from his eyes and rushed
for the door,
All dripping with water from his recent
cold bath,
He shook his fist at the crowd and gave
vent to his wrath
Eye dirty spalpleens! I'll take by the
throat
The first one that jokes me bout riding

Then selling his coat. he fled from the
hall
And never was made member at aif

at the age when most men who achieve
fame and public life are already on the
read and nearing the goal, he was first
elected to Congress. Then began his ac-
tive political career. His knowledge of
commerce and finance brought him az
once into prominence and in his second
term he was placed on the Ways and
Means Committee. In 1860 he became
the author of and carried through the
Morrill, tariff. He remained in the House
of Representatives until 1851, when he
was elected to the Senate and took his
seat at the same tine as did Roscoe COnk-
ling. There he has remained ever since
and is now serving Il term which ends

Let Justice Be Done.


The meeting Of the next Demo
cratic State Convention will be at
tended by more than the usual
amount of excitement and stormy
debates. The silver and ballot re-.
form questions will of themselves
elicit considerable attention but rep
resentation will be the paramount
issue. Already the politicians of
the black parishes are entering
vigorous protests against reduction
of representation, arguing that OF
the overwhelming vote cast in the
past democracy T, aped the benefit.
This claim for representation, based
upon the democratic vote, appears
to be just and equitable whether
those who cast the vote possessed
white or black skins. True, the
white vote of such parishes are
small as compared to others, but to
the energy and influence Of this
small white citizenship is largely
due democratic success in the State.
Nor are all the parishes with pre-
ponderating white populationsDemo-
cratic, for the populist are in
majority IN some. II seems to US
that they who cast most votes for
party purposes should have most
representation in party councils,
and fsss this reason Truth appeals
for Justice to the gallant Democrats
who changed the political complex
ION of republican subdivisions of the
State and added thousands of votes
to the Democratic column, giving
that party victory and securing white
surpremacy.-Baton Rouge Truth.
