The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1897-03-19

are told that Spain is delighted at his
beautiful pose.
The statement sent out from Wash
ingtOn by some miscreant To the effect
that Mrs. Mckinley found the White
House in a state OF dilapidation and
untidiness, is the basest and yilest
Islander OF the season, TO which none
are more ready 10 attest than the
present occupants OF the presidential
mansion, Mrs. Cleveland, like the no.
BILE woman and exquisite hOusekeeper
she is, left everything in apple-pie or
der, ever to leaving luncheon pre-
pared for the presidential party before
taking her final leave. She did not
retit the White House with new furni-
ture, carpets, curtains, china and
glassware, etc, because it is custom
airy for the incoming lady to make her
own selection Of these articles, and
the author Of the report was either as
ignorant as a convention OF mummlcS,
or as vile as 'blind.tiger" whiskey.
If all ladies who assume control Of at
fairs at the White House, grace the
position as charmingly as did Mrs.
Cleveland, the public will have nc
cause for complaint.
There will at least be n change In
the management Of the White House.
President Mckinley says spirits shall
be used on his table only on state oc'
casi0ns. 1t seems to be an open Sc
cret that Grover always kept his demi
john in a convenient place, and If re
ports are true, he was on very init
mate terms with his old friend.
Occasionally some mutton-lcadet
editor blasts out a distressing blea'
which sounds like he says Cleveland
will be the Democratic candidate 70
President in 1900. But II is NOR,
reasonable to believe that he coulC
get to Heaven by climbing a CREASED
pole backward and pulling the pole VI
with him, than TO think that so bas
a political migrate and party traffic
could ever again receive decent con
stderation at the hands Of the Democ
raCy, no matter how fOrglvlng may b
its disposition.
