a downright man In his deliyeranoes, and
he has said some sharp things about Mr..
Cleveland But there is no bitterness in
his composition. He has spoken simply as
a party leader about another party leader.
He probably cherishes no grudge against
Mr.. Cleveland on personal grounds Mr..
Cleveland on his part has just given a
striking evidence of ability to rise superior
to personalities. Mr.. Hewitt during all OF
Mr.. Cleveland's national leadership held
aleof from him and criticised him much
more severely-than Mr.. Watterson has ever
done. And yet Mr.. Cleveland the other
night at meeting held in honor of Mr..
Hewitts memory paid a generous tribute
to his character and public services. He
could not have spoken more heartily II Mr..
Hewitt had been one OF his advisers be-
tween 1884 and 1895, instead of one Of the
keenest of his critics. If the dead Hewitt
may be forgiven, why not the live Waiter
son?
1t may further be suggested that Mr..
Watterson and Mr.. Whitney might not
have been agreeable on the tariff ques-
ton. They have differed in the past. But
not more so than have Mr.. Watterson and
Mr.. German on the same question. Mr..
Whitney, like Mr.. German, Is of the Ran
dali school of protectionists. And yet 1t
was but few months ago that Mr.. Wat
terson paid handsome tribute to Mr.. Cor
man as democrat, and confessed his will
ingness to support him for the presidency.
Why should it be difficult therefore for Mr..
Watterson and Mr.. Whitney to draw their
chairs up close together and talk tariff
without serious disagreement?
Harmony is a fine thing. and just now the
democrats are in need of all that may be
lying around loose. Which makes 1t all the
more surprising that at this latest meeting
for harmony's sake SO harmonious and
agreeable man as Mr.. Watterson should
not have been present.

Sacrosanct Tariff.

From the New York Evening Post.
We perceive also, in current revelations OF
the protectionist spirit, the tendency of
superstition a false doctrine to grow
more intolerant and extravagant with time
Won Hoist has showed beautifully how this
worked in the case of slavery in the south
From being thought a temporary evil, ii
came to be held as, first. an economic ne
necessity, then social advantage and finally
a divine institution, big with blessing to
black and white, and against which it was
sacrilege and treason combined to lisn a
syllable So we have seen protectfonism
grow from the ''infant-industry" stage. a
policy to be apologized for as passing
necessity. until it has become the sacro-
sanct thing We now see 1t to be regarded

Lee at Gettysburg.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The proposition that Pennsylvania shall
join with Virginia to erect a statue of Gen.
eral Lee upon the battlefield of Gettysburg
meets with the varied response that was to
be anticipated. To those who love to think
of the United States as one great, homo
geneous nation, every part of which is a
sharer in the glorious achievement of every
other part and who long to see this union
everywhere acknowledged, the commemora.
ton Of the confederate leader upon the
field which he helpeA to make the most
illustrious in the history of American valor
appears not only fitting, but inevitable. To
the perhaps larger number whose patriotism
has not yet attained SO broad a view, but
still is limited by the memory of bitter
conflict, such recognition Of the accom-
plished purpose of the fight at Gettysburg
involves a larger national conception than
they can bring themselves to grasp.

A Possibility.

Don't be jealous, not bit,
OF the butterflies that fit
Through the world on gilded wings
Where the sun it's radiance filings;
For they say the butterfly
Was a grub in days gone by.
Don't be jealous, though your lot
Seems to be to live forgot:
Though Dame Fortune seems to snub.
Maybe you're hopeful grub;
Maybe as the years go by
You will be a butterfly.

All Through Billiards.

This queer incident comes from
Paris. While playing at billiards one
evening recently in his house in Paris
M. Reichart hit ball so hard that it
bounded from the table and out of an
open window, falling through the glass
roof OF drawing room in the next
house and smashing valuable Sevres
vase. The crash so alarmed an An.
CORA cat sleeping on the table close
by that the animal sprang up and
knocked over lamp, which set fire to
some tapestry and necessitated the
calling out OF the brigade. M. Reich.
art was engaged to the niece Of the
invalid lady occupying the house in
which the damage was caused. The
commotion, however, had so disas.
trous effect on the old lady's nerves
that she died shortly afterwards. On
learning the indirect cause OF her
aunts death the young lady refused
to marry M. Reichart, and the heirs
are now suing him for the damage
done.

ing her educational intests upon a
strong basis and guaranteeing last
ing benefits.
Mr. McRae said in reference to his
bill to the Gazette's representative:
The bill is eminently just and on ac-
count of the existing circumstances,
| should become law Most Of the gov
| ernment land in Arkansas is unfit for
cultivation. but it can be sold to those

| have been granted
| The bill has been referred to the
committee on public lands and at an

fore them and urge a favorable report
on it.

prines But Little at the Recent huc-

The auction of white house furnl-
ture that has been discarded since TIE
,cmodeling of that building proved
.tisappointmenl so far as the prices
brought by the articles were concern
"a. There was very little competition
al the sale. with the result that many
GOOD bargains were secured. Inc glass
gas shades were sold at 10 cents apiece
end a large bookcase went for $l.50.
The billiard table. which was puf-
chased by President Garfield, brought
forward a number of bidders. 1t was
in dilapidated condition. Accom-
2anying it were two old battered cues,
marked &C A. A." and &c. A. A., Jr.
t,e initials of President Arthur and
his son, who were fond of billiards.
Gas fixtures Of ancient design were
knocked down at insignificant figures
and a number of mirrors were sold
cheap owning to the Cld-fashloned
Tanner in which thcJ were mounted.
An $4,000 chandelier, containing 4,4O0
pieces of cut glass adornments. was
saved from the hammer by Colonel
Bingham, who ordered the piece sent
to the capitol There were also chan
dcliers taken from the east room,
which were superseded by electric
fixtures. A large sideboard, beautiful
" carved, which was used in the
white house diningroom for half cen
turv, drew only fair price, while a
high mantel of antique design brought
almost nothing There were twenty
tarrels of smaller ornaments, brlc-a-
!, rae, etc. Window frames, CRATES ana
ether furnishings of like character,
were disposed of to contractors
who will dispose of them to collectors
