When Lincoln Became Angry.

Il have read several Lincoln anniversary
speeches, d" Said Mr.. Charles Frederick, ac-
cording to the Washington Star, land have
been struck with the statement contained
in some of them to the effect that Mr.. LIN
coin seldom got mad. and that when he did
get mad he did not allow himself to get
very mad. If these speakers spoke from
their personal experience 1t is all right, but
my personal experience with him one night
satisfied me he could get up a terribly
good sized case of mad at times.
Il was a boy at the time, and was a
messenger for the old American Telegraph
Company, which In after years was alb
sorbed by the present Western Union Tel
egraph Company. For sevrai days there
had been a number of kilograms for the
President from army officers and among
them remember two or three from Gen.
Mcclellan. / don't remember now why
they did not come over the military tele-
graph lines. Wei, one night started over
to the White House with a telegram that
l knew came from Gen. Mcclellan. 1t was
for the President.
In those days there was always
guard of soldiers stationed at the two ave
nue. gates, as also at the other gates, but
messenger boys were generally well known,
and they were admitted day or night with
out any question, at least to the front door,
where another soldier guard was also sta
toned. There was always an officer about
the door, who receipted for kilograms.
This night, however, saw Mr.. Lincoln
coming toward the outer gate, and
thought 1 would personally hand him the
telegram, which l did. He smiled pleas
antly enough as ne opened it, but change
suddenly came over him.
Have you the other telegrams?' he de-
manded of me- 1 replied that had but the
one, though L informed him that there had
been one or two others that day from
Gen. Mcclellan
That is what he says added the Pres
ident, and what annoys me is that have
not received themp
Then turning to the sentry he said
Send up to the door for the officer in
charge and tell him that when kilograms
come here addressed to me they should
and must be delivered to me. Tell him
also,' and by this time the President was
very mad, that if he sends any more of
my kilograms over to Mr.. Stanton's house
In drive him away from here. Mr.. Stan
ton has enough kilograms of his own and
should not have mine
Though l was but a boy" said Mr.
Frederick, Il could see that Mr.. Lincoln
was mad all the way through, and that for
the moment at least he was displea sed
with his war minister. Secretary Stanton,
and that he intended exactly what he said
The President, then directing himself to
me, continued: Boy, tell your folks that
l must have my kilograms, and that if
these soldiers about the door interfere any
more IN drive every one of them away.
l don't want them, and never did want
them about the place."

MIR. Astor's Idea.

ON THE RIGHT TACK.

We are sure that the remarks of Alder
man-elect Williams, that he does not ia
vor the removal of city officials or en-
ployes because they happen to be mem
bers of the faction which opposed the sue
oessful ticket in last Tuesdays munich
pal election, will meet with very general
approval. The sooner we get rid of in
tense partisan politics in municipal af-
fairs the better it will be for the city.
1t was the understanding that the pres
ent board of aldermen voted for those of
the city officials who were reelected be-
cause they thought that they were faith
full and efficient public servants. Better
men could not be had. in their opinion,
and hence they reelected them. This
they did Notwithstanding the fact that two
years ago some of these officials tried to
defeat them.
we have no interest in any one of the
officials beyond this chat we desire that
the city shall have the best possible SER
vice for the money which 1t pays. Just
as soon as it is demonstrated that an off,
clal or employe is inefficient, or is neg
Letting his duties. he ought to be dismiss
ed. The Council should deal with those
who are in the service of the city Just
as the employees in a business house are
dealt with. Because a man has done some
work on election day at the polls, that
is no reason why he should be paid a salary
and permitted TO occupy his time in loaf
ing. If any of the present city force are
inefficient or neglectful of their duties
they should be called to account at once,
and their places filled by competent and
faithful men. It is probable that the SAL
aired force could be reduced without det-
riment to the clty's interest. If the in
coming administration is to be a business
one. and the impression seems to be that
1t is. let business principles prevail at the
very beginning.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Birmingham News (Dem) says the
merchants must help the farmers to get
out of the an-cotton rut. Undoubtedly,
says the News the all-cotton system is
continued against the will of the farmers
by the necessity of planting the staple in
order to get credit for supplies. 1t lies
within the power of the merchants to help
solve the problem and il he will do so the
all-cotton evil can be minmized."

TIE EXACT ISSUE.

1t looks as if the administration were
satisfied that some of the meat which was
issued TO the soldiers during the war with
Spain was thoroughly bad and that it
caused sickness among the soldiers, and
perhaps the death of some of them. In
commenting on the "embalmed beef
issue the Philadelphia Press, an admins
tration organ of which the Postmaster
General was the editor before he went
into the cabinet, and of which he may be
the nominal editor now, has the following:
" Embalmed beef would be fraud 1t
must be treated as such. Thus far only
one side has been heard. The entire sub
ject needs to be thoroughly sifted. Meat
in an unfit condition was issued. This is
unquestionable. Exactly why it was unfit
needs to be determined TO the uttermost
fact and must be. The responsibility
must be carried home. For the motive of
the exposure no one cares, and it viii be
serious blunder If an attempt is made
to hold any one to account for making
This is a trihe. Bad beef was served.
Men sickened and died Who was re-
sponsible? This issue must be cleared
up beyond peradventure"
1t Is reasonable to suppose that the fore
going expresses the sentiments of the ad-
ministratiOn. Assuming that such is the
case It is to be understood that there will
be no let up in the "embalmed beer in
vestigation until 1t is clearly demonstrate
ed who was responsible for the serving of
unfit bees to the army. There ought TO
be no up. The truth of the whole
matter can be found out and it should be-
All the resources of the government, if
necessary, should be used for that pur-
pose. What the people want is the truth,
and if bad beef were purposely sold to
the government for the army they want
the guilty parties punished. No greater
crime could be committed than to supply
the army with beef calculated TO cause
disease and death among the soldiers
the men who rislled their lives willingly
for the honor and glory of the country.

greatly distinguished himself in the

the peace deputation to the Car before
the outbreak of the Crimean war, Mr..
Surge would not consent to wear a lethal
weapon. A compromise was happily eff

The subserviency of the majority of the
Republican members of the Pennsylvania
Legislature to Senator Quay, and at the
same time the sore straits to which Quay
has been put to clear himself of the
criminal charge pending against him, are
freshly illustrated In the efforts which are
being made 20 rush through the legislature
a bill to change the jury laws in time for
the change to govern in the trial of the
senator. The proposed alteration of the
laws would greatly hamper the states
prosecuting officers, and would be directly
in the interest of the criminal classes as
against the interests of the commonwealth
and law and order. But Quay is defend
ant before a criminal court, and his
henchmen see the necessity of leaving no
stone unturned to help him out of his pre-
dicament. They are willing to sacrifice
anything, except themselves, but not ex-
cepting the state, in order to aid their
boss. 1t is believed that the Senate, which
Quay owns, will pass the bill, but the
probabilities are that the Democrats and
the anti-Quay Republicans will hold 1t up
in the House.

From the Washington Star.
When you meet a politician
OF a strictly business kind,
Who at last has climbed the ladder
And left all his past behind,
You must compliment him shrewdly
If you don't want any row;
You can say you're glad he got there
But you needn't mention how.
You can speak your admiration
OF the place he's risen to,
And talk about the future
And the things that he wall do.
But brevity is safer,
Simply make your little bow,
And say you're glad he got there;
And you needn't mention how.
