RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA. FRIDAY JANUARY 23. 1885.

A TALK WITH M’DONALD.

What He Thinks «f the PresidentElect and the Political Issues of the Day. [Chicago Inter Ocean 2 When the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, of Indiana, had returned to the Palmer from the Iroquois club last evening and had lighted his cigar tor a quiet, reflective smoke, he had to make a change in his programme as he sat in his comfortable parlor to bid a reDorter for the Inter-Ocean come in and take a chair. When his visitor had been cordially treated by this big, benignant a|n d distinguished Hoosier whom Indiana is waiting to escort to a Cabinet position, Mr. McDonald was shortly asked: ‘What do you think of Mr. Cleveland?’ ‘Well,’replied Mr. McD iiald with a friendly smile and judicial deliberation, ‘ think he is a man of a good deal of what is called vis inertia, Whereupon the reporter ventured a liberal interpretation to the effect that Cleveland is a hard man to move, but a good deal of a man wt en he gets going. Mr. McDonald smiled assent, and continued: ‘Mr. Cleveland shows, I think, not too much obstinacy, but a spirit tempered with sound judgment. There’s a good deal of the holdfast in Mr. Cleveland. I believe ‘Holdfast,’ or ‘Steadfast,’ was one of Bunyan’s favorite char acters in his ‘Pilgrim s ProE,> wasn’t he?’ queried ‘Joe’ onalcL with a smile that significance to the use of the figure. ‘When he exercises the active principle of this vis inertia what is he going to do?’ asked the reporter. ‘I take it Mr. Cleveland is a Democrat, and in his administration he will navigate by DEMOCRATIC LANDMARKS.’ ‘Think, perhaps, Mr. McDonald, that any of these landmarks might be removed?’ ‘No, sir: these landmarks are the cornerstones on which the Government rests.’ ‘Going to set up any new stones?’ ‘1 don’t know of any.’ ‘ s the civil service law one?’ ‘Well I wouldn’t have voted for that law if I had been in Congress.’ ‘Why?’ ‘For a variety of reasons. For instance, there is the principle underlying the law of perpetuity in office, and to that * object It is not according to the genius of our institutions. It goes back too much to British models, and necessarily carries wiih it in time a civil list ot'pensioners.’ ‘But having the law, what would you do?’ ‘I believe it the duty of the executive to enforce it.’ U'Aiid you believe Cleveland will enforce it?’ ‘Yes; 1 believe he will. The 1 onstitution enjoins on the President as one of his chief duties that he tak 1 care that tge laws are properly executed.’

‘Yon believe Mr. Cleveland’s i recent letter a fair expression ! of his purpose in this regard?’ ‘Yes, a fair and clear exposit-i ion of his intention regarding• it. He is not a man given to double dealing, or to double entendre, nor does he intend, I think, that anything should be read between the imps. As to. decided cases of partisanship with civil service employes, which is the case you suggest, 1 think he will undoubtedly exercise whatever power of removal-Jie has under the law, leaving to the Senate the right to do as it pleases in the matter. Yes, I believe he will retain a faithful public officer until his term expires, and he will not, I think, reel under any obligation to reappoint him.’ ‘And, Mr. McDonald, what about the South and its cry?’

‘I don’t think the clamors I from the South will be very ! much different from those of | any other section. 1 think the | great pressure upon the administration will particularly bo a? its beginning; but I don't think, as I say, that the clamors from the South will be greater than those from other sections, and 1 don’t think

THE CLAIMS FROM THE SOUTH

will be reegnized or discriminated against to any greater degree than is done toward the people of any other section. I speak, remember, from what Mr. Cleveland aaid, and because he spoke as the representative of the Democratic party. As to the negro question, which you bring up, I will say I expect less discrimination with reference to class or color, and greater freedom generally so far as the Federal Government is concerned. I think, regarding legislation upon such aqueston, that this is one of those cases in which negative action by the Federal Government is better than positive action.’ ‘As to tariff, Mr. McDonald?’ ‘While I have decided views as to what is the sound policy of the Government in this regard. I am not one who favors a radical change, especially when such misht very seriously and immediately affect the values of property; but I think we ought to address ourselves to the task of removing all burdens from foreign imports that in any form enter into the manufacturing industries of the country. Yes, [ would continue the internal revenue on whisky and tobacco, reducing some however, the tax on tobacco specially upon its production, since it is an agricultural production and should not be especially discriminated against As to legislation concerning the railroads I might say that the whole question of inter-State commerce must eventually be dealt with by the. Federal Government. The railroad systems are outgrowing the States and State law. Yet conditions must work into form first, and tilings should not be interfered with which may adjust themselves.’ <•

‘What do you think of Randall’s trip South?’ ‘I don’t think Rapdall will strengthen himself by his trip South. Mr. Randall is the representative of a local interest. His dominating interest is one that he will be able to impress upon the country.’

THE END OF PROTECTION has ar ri v e d—protection, I me'm, per se. Secretary McCulloch put that in a terse form when he said that in the leading articles of manufacture we have reached the point of over production, and there is do market for our surplus because of the cost of production. i think that Mr. Randal 1 sees what the necessary consequences are, and he is en- ' deavoring to shape .his views ; so as not to antagonize what is inevitable. Ye must become

a manufacturing people, and we must have cheaper material than now to make up. We want to make up so as to sell at home and abroad too. There is no danger about our home market when we can send our surplus to other countries.’ M McDonald couldn’t well discuss Cabinet possibilities, and with all firmness and modesty declined to submit to interroght‘n”s thereon, but he ■ but he v,. < willing to Fay: ‘As to the Cabinet, it is a matter in which the President is expected and I believe he will in this instance be the sole judge as to whom he shall invite into it, and l have no doubt he will endeavor not to discriminate against any sect- ; ion.’ In short, Mr. McDonald ! up whal i he considered would be DemI ocratic doctrine under the new

administration by repeating the inscription, in the way of a good anecdote, which an nears upon Indiana’s stone in the Washington monument ‘No North, no South; nothing but the Union.’ By the order of Governor Wright it was engraved thereon, and Mr. McDonald says it stands for Indiana’s broad catholicity to-day. Mr. McDonald asserted that of course only cordial relations existed between himself and Mr. HendricKs, who, by coincidence, occupied a neigh boring parlor in the Palmer last evening, Mr. McDonald is in the City on law bus’ness.

POSTAL POINTS.

Information Abo . t Mail Matter What Can be Pent bnd How Better Save It. ■ [United States Mail ] Books, pamphlets, and music can be sent at third-class rates. Every counting-room sho’d be supplied with scales for weighing letters. The postage on a pair of boots would be at the rate of one cent* an ounce. No valuable package should ever be mailed unless it is registered. Don’t forget this. Tea, supar, coffee, and kindred articles can be mailed at the rate of one cent an ounce. Clothing is classed as merchandise, and can be mailed only at the rate of one cent an ounce. Wedding cake can ofily be mailed when packed in a tin or wooden box. Confectioneries the same. Never write an address on a letter or any kind of a package intended for mailing in a careless manner. A book presented for mailing with a letter attached to it would subject the entire package to letter rates. Send no cash money by mail. It is much safer and cheaper in the long run to buy a money order or postal note? If you wanted to send a suit of clothes by mail which weig li e d six pounds, you would have to make two packages of it. Matter inclosed in a sealed envelope, though the corners may be cut or the ends notched, is subject to letter rates. - Liquids, poisons, explosive and inflammable articles are not received for mailing, no matter how carefully wrapped. Chromes, engravings orlith ographs belong to the third class, and can be sent at the rate of two ounces for one cent. Animals, reptiles live or dead (not stuffed) insects, except queen beCfc when safely secured, are excluded from the mails. Photograpli ic and aut ographic albums are classed as merchandise, and postage is charged at the rate of one cent an ounce An unclaimed postal card is not . returned to th[e writer, i even though his address is givi en upon it, but is sent to the ; dead l etter Letter he.' L oili-neads and i envelopes, blank or are charged as merchantdise.' and postage must be paid at tlm rate of one cent an ounce. Alpostal-card is not mailable with any writing or printing on the address side, except the address, nor with anything pasted or pinned to the other side.

When mail matter is once deposited in a post-office or in a street leffr'v.bcy if is beyond the connoi of the ptison putting it there and can not be reclaimed. Every , business man should use return request envelopes in all his correspondence. If everybody used them the dead letter office would soon wind up its business. >he dead-letter office is a monument to the carelessness and stupidity of the American I people.
