~ HERE is a story floating around
back East that Grover Cleve-
land is to be called to the pro-
fessorship of politics" in Princeton
university. 1t is a fact that the insti-
tuition has recently received an anony-
nous gift of 100000 with which to en-
dow such a chair The supposition at
first was that Mr.. Cleveland himself
was the donor but this has been Off
cially denied by President Patton, who,
however refuses to give out any in
formation regarding the rumored en-
gagement of Mr.. Cleveland. That gen.
tleman himself is equally reticent, but
there are said to be good grounds for
belief that the story is true.
AS professor of politics. Mr.. Cleve-
land could impart good deal of valu-
able information to the Princeton boys.
He could deliver a course of say ten
lectures on "How My Administration
Wrecked the Democratic Party in 1896"
Shorter courses could be sandwiched in
on 1.-THE Sensations I Experienced
When Had Congress on My Hands,"
THE Undesirable States and How to
Jump on Them Free Silver Cranks
and Anarchists" 1.-THE Innocuous
Desuetude of David B. HILL" THE
Rights, Duties and Prerogatives of the
President of the United States as a
Fisherman and Duck Hunter" "Jeffer-
sonian Dinners and Why I Was Not
Invited to Any of Them" 1.-THE Right
Kind of Bait and the Proper Size of
Demijohn to Take Along in the Boat"
Personal Recollections of Charles A.
Dana and the New York Sun
The list could be heightened out al
most indefinitely, for as a politician Mr..
Cleveland is man of wide and ripe ex-
perience--from hanging men as sheriff
of Erie county all the way up to cruci-
flying silver as president of the United
States. Saul sitting at the feet of CANA
liel wouldn't be in it with a Princeton
senior sitting at the No. II calfskins of
Cleveland. If the Princeton youth want
to know the whole thing, however, we
would recommend a supplementary or
postgraduate course in politics under
Plat, or Croker, or Quay. And if any
have the means and the ambition to
climb way up to the top of the profess
sion without drudgery, let Them go to

n HANY Coghlan details. almost too
NJ old to interest the public now,
] We're current last week in east
ern newspaper circles, but failed to
reach the western public. 1t was rec
ognized in official circles, of course,
and, in a larger public as well, that
the captain really had done that which
isn't exactly the best thing to do I'M
der similar circumstances. Indeed,
this fact apparently was admitted by
the captain himself. Some of the in
discriminate fag-fying newspapers of
the country undertook to raise their
hurrah over all that was alleged to
have been said at the New York BAN
quet: Captain Coghlan himself is the
critic of these thick and thin tshouters;
he informed the administration that,
in some of the printed reports of the
banquet business, he was not accu-
rately quoted and that in what he
did say he meant no offense.
While the case was pending, great
influence in Coghlan's behalf was
brought to bear on the administration
at Washington. Timely quotation was
macNs of a recent remark of Dewey, in
warn. compliment Of Coghlan and, with
this st of the matter, telegram
was bro Asht out in which Dietrichs
had sent Is congratulations to Dewey
on the occ, Non of Dewey's promotion
to the rank I admiral.
The admin sration was constrained
to discipline the captain and to be as
mild and considerate as possible about
| it. The action usually taken in the
case of reprimand is to publish it.
| This may be done in general orders
| or as special order. In general Or
| ders it is read on every ship in the
| service: as a special order, it reaches
only the person for whom it is in

The public was not disposed at any
| time to lay stress on this Coghlan in
| cident, one way or the other The
mildest sort of censure, if anything
I in that line We're needed, was the full

! ought to be melted out to Coghlan, and

Out of Good Form.

N many parts Of Montana, according
to the reports one finds in the state
press, disposition has been shown
to observe with more than common
activity the day which, in his recent
proclamation, Governor Smith desig-
mated as arbor day. The governors
suggestions as to the wisdom and good
policy of planting trees were timely
the formalities that are usually part
of arborday observance teach their
useful lesson in more ways than one.
Besides, the cities and villages of Mon
tana have need of trees-they are a
rare possession in this part of the
world, along highways or as adorn-
ment for lawn and field.
But how is it possible to get up
any enthusiasm for arbor-day observ-
ance in a snow storm? That arrange
ment is manifestly against what is
called the eternal fitness of things.
There's an irrepressible conflict be-
tween operating a snow shovel, in or
der to reach a place where to plant
a tree, and the great moral lesson
which arDof day is designed TO teacn
besides, there is the risk of pneu-
monia.
The Standard is not seeking to criticise
the governor; in selecting a date well
along in the month of May for the
tree-planting ceremony, he doubtless
acted on his best lights and fancied
that he had set the mark beyond the
normal season for snow storms. But
this springless year of 1899 bids fair
to be summarizes as well: apparently
the governors only safe way was to
have set apart for tree-planting the
hours between eleven and two O'Clock
on the fourth day of July; and by all
| the testimony of present experience, it
is more than likely to snow then.

Minister Failed to BE an Actor.
From the Oakland Tribune

FROM the oakland IrlDune.
The Rev. James H. w. Harris, the
Oakland minister who is now in New
York trying to raise funds to pay his
bills, seems to enjoy seeing his name
in the public prints. After he lost his
little church in this city he announced
that he was going on the stage He
could not secure any kind of an engage
ment and his theatrical experience was
anything but pleasant. The minister
was then in destitute circumstances
Finally he dropped out of Oakland and
drifted East. A dispatch from New
York tells of DR.. Harris recent troubles
as follows:
Another benefit for Rev. James H.
w Harris, formerly pastor of the Epis-
sopal Church of the Redeemer in Oak
land, Cal, is in course of preparation
The last one was to have been given a
week ago last Sunday night, but it did
not take place, owing to the failure of
Mr.. Harris to make the required de-
post for rent. He went to Edwin
Knowles, manager Of the Fifth Avenue
theater, a year ago and arranged to
rent the theater for series of Sun
day Evening Patriotic Concerts the
proceeds to be given to the 'women's
sanitary work and to purchase por-
traits of the Maine for our public
schools Subscribers were to have
their names printed in the newspapers,
and among the names OF the patrons
We're given those of c. P. Huntington,
George Croker, A. N. Brady, j. Pier
pont Morgan and former Governor
Flower.
Mr.. Harris did not rent the the
alter, Mr.. Knowles said to-day he I'M
derstood the affair was ito be a sub
scription benefit, and that money did
not come in
mr.. Harris, when told to-day that
complaints had been made of the fail
ure of his theatrical enterprises after
the subscriptions had been paid in,
| said:
| Some one who is envious of the
work l am doing is trying to prevent
| it. For the last year l have been do

perfectly willing to pay every dollar
| if I am let alone. This is benefit for
| me personally, inasmuch as I have
done everything and received nothing
| for over a year I have nothing to
hide. This is simply matter of perse-
| cution.'
Mr. Harris is about to give up all
thought of the stage and return to re-
| ligious work"

vealed in the most recent contro-
versy involving the Butte Inter Noun
tain and the Butte Miner. It's a little
bit Of a row; it isn't knee high; no con-
fsiderable part OF the population of
Butte, outside of the city-hall gang, has
in 1t any interest whatever.
1t is about like this: The member
ship of the city council includes two or
three so-called Clark men and several
republicans. The Miner affects to speak,
of course, for this Clark group. The re-
publicans are regular gold republicans.
vet the Inter Mountain feels that it has
motherly responsibility for the brood.
The Miner holds that these Clark men
and gold republicans are one and the
same for all the purposes of bucking
the new democratic mayor of Butte; the
Inter Mountain can't see why it's the
duty of the republicans to be part of
the Clark tailein 4she city council.
That is the situation which just now
is involving the Inter Mountain and
the Miner in heavy and arduous con-
troversy. Meanwhile the aldermanic
factions for which these two newspapers
profess to be sponsors have been Won
dering which they would rather do or go
a-fishing.

y OW comes the Miner to impute
that tS the Miner i is judgment usnsnsspt
proof" That remark, which would be
libel, the Standard never made, or the
like of it. In fact, the Miner seems
anxious to make it appear that mean
things are being said about itself. Yes
terday, for instance, this was said by
Mr.. Clark's newspaper; The Ana
conda Standard has been fond of refer
ring to the Miner as judgment proof -
Now, there never was a line on any
page of the Standard directly or indi-
rectly suggesting anything of the sort.
The statement is wholly the Miners
Invention.
First and last, the Standards only
reference to Miner libel suits and judg-
ments came up in this way: Whiteside
sued the Miner for 100000. The Miner
then said that a mans reputation ought
to be worth more than that amount of
money. Then said the Standard that,
perhaps, in view of the Miners dispo-
sition to be as lavish as Clark was in
buying votes, Whiteside would file an
amended complaint and name a higher
demand. The Standard also said that,
as an unusual incident, Mr.. Clark
bank holds a judgment for about $5O,O
against Mr.. Clark's newspaper, judg-
ment that has stood fer about a dozen
years, under renewals; and that per-
maps Mr.. Whiteside didn't know this
when he brought suit. That is what the
Standard said. Our opinion would be

Truthful, Though Indiscreet.

From the New YORK Sun.
Granting that the captain of the RAJ
leigh has been guilty of indiscretion in
the sense in which frozen-faced diploma
cy understands that word. it is not the
sort of indiscretion which ought to make
men ashamed of themselves or makes
mems friends ashamed of them Sailors
of the Coghlan type are the glory of the
nation when war is on. and they are also
the terror and despair of diplomats in
time of peace. This comes from the cir
cpmstances that when they think Damn
you!' they have not been educated to
smile and say: May the blessings of Di-
vine Providence overThelm you with
beatitude."

Responsibility for Tammauy,

From the Buffalo Courier.
AS regards the ascendancy of Tammany
in the city of New York there are two
republicans. each of whom has done more
to restore Tammany rule than thousands
of democratic voters could possibly have
done. One of these is not a fool reformer
but the governor of the state, and the
other republican, who has no official con-
nection with the state government, is the
man who dominates and governs govern
ors and legislatures.
