young Lang has been subjected 10 os-

married the daughter OF an enlisted

PLUCKY OLNEY.

Olney is not afraid to talk against an
enemy at long range but TO toe the
scratch in any kind OF 4 scrap. Sena-
tor HOar'S praise Of him yesterday was
not out of place. 1t is reported in
Washington dispatches that the presi-
dent is disposed TO heal the rupture be-
tween himself and his secretary of
state. But Olney continues 10 pOut
and mutter and mediate strange
things. The presidents public state
ment of last Friday was interpreted by
the secretary as a backhanded slap at
him for his published note OF March 3.
Olney is a sensitive man. he stands
upon his personal dignity. He does
not propose TO play the role into which
Cleveland forced poor Gresham. He
is not to be made a stool-pigeOn OF.
much less an administration scapeGoat.
Cleveland may try TO laugh the matter
over, but he had better keep his foul
weather eye on Olney.
