Secretary of the Treasury Manning has resigned. —— TT .«»- Bead President Cleveland’s message containing his objections to the pension bill. The President evinces the courage of his couvicti ns. Jameson, republican general su_ perintendent of the railway mail service, has resigned. This will no doubt open the way to rejuvination of ail branches of the service Secretary of State Griffin with beaming eyes concluded he would accomplish what the republicans in joint convention had failed in and at, first refused to attest Gov. Gray’s com mis ion to J udge Turpie. The Governor gave him to understand he would give him until Monday for the performance of that duty He signed it.

Differing in Opinion.—Commenting upon the President’s veto of the service pension bill the Republican papers of this county thus refer to i : Rensselaer Republican: The President, who has already shown that he is utterly devoid of sympathy for the union soldi rs, and their,families, has vetoed the pension bill,” etc. Message: President Cleveland has returned to Congressjtlie service pension bill,Jwith a lengthy message setting forth the reasons for his disapproval of it. The press has not been moved to make any great deal of. comment upon the action. Especially have the papers of Republican politics been silent. As regards local comment, the preponderance is largely in app oval of the President’s course in this particular case. There is a growing sentiment that pension laws might be enacted moie general in their application, more beneficent to recipients, by equalization without reference to rank, the amount granted being graded in favor of the wounded and those suffering from disabili ty and disease incurred in the service. The people will be slow to censure Mr. Cleveland for the conscientious discharge of duty. He clearly and fearlessly sets forth hi s objections to the bill in qu stion in his message which may be found on another page in to-day’s Sentinel. “The state is flat broke and borrowed $60,000 Tuesday, from the university endowmenl fund to keep the state government running until a million dollar loan can be made. Too much democracy is the cause the shortage.—Republican. The building of new Hospitals for the Insane and the reconstruction of the Soldiers’ Orphars’ Home “is the cause of the short-, age, and the Democracy cheerful*’’' the opprobrium at-

ey for these and other necessary improvements. Of the $6,006,608.34 owing by the State the Republican party created $4,829,783.22, as shown by the State Auditor’s report. The debt was created in 1867, 1868 and 1873, when the Republican party had full control of the State. The Democratic administration .borrowed $1,169,000 last year, and it has gone into the construction of the new Statehouse and the new Hospitals for the Insane and other improvements, which is shown by the r cord. Now what did the Republican party do v itb the $4,829,783.22? Can the Republican tell what its party did with the money for which they issued those bonds amounting to nearly $5,000,000? How did it expend the money? It constructed no public buildings. Every institution in the State has been constructed under Democratic management except the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home, which was commenced under Morton’s administration, and it comes with exceeding bad grace from one of the organs of the Republican party of Jasper county to raise a howl about the indebtedness of the State when its own party created nearly $5,000,000 of the $6,000,000 of the indebtedness and left nothing to show for it.

It is reported Miss Mary Baker, the Monon fasting girl, on tLe 105th day commenced taking nourishment and that she will probably be restored to health. Democratic State Treasurer Cooper deliver d to his successor every dollar charged against him, and the opposition are inconsolable.

“Masks and Paces” was originally produced in this country at the Chambers Street Theater under Burton’s management. Burton was the Triplet of the first cast, but his debut in the part was not all that the great comedian and manager had hoped. He had just finished his first long run of “Foodies,” and the audience on the first night of the new play seemed to see and hear Toodles only in everything that Triplet did or said, for they laughed and ro i red every time Barton came on the stage and every time he opened his mouth. They had no respect for his most serious “mugs” nor for his most solemn utteram e. They took it all in as a new phase of his fun, and the distress of the pror devil in the last where Trippie, starving in his garret, is trying to write comedy, surrounded by his miserable family, brought their laughter to a climax. Burton could hear it no longer. He had fumed and sworn within himself all Ahe evening, but, no longer conceal his anger and chagrin, he broke out before the public. He advanced to the footlights, and with the tears of Iriplet still streaming down his face, 1: ut dropping his assumed character, he exclaimed, in a tone between a growl and a sob: “D— d furny, ain’t it? Wife dying—children starving! D—d funny, ain’t it?” But the remonstrance was of no avail. The audience only roared the louder, and Burton retired back to his part in disgust and finished it amid convulsions of laughter over his most pathetic speeches The next night he gave the part to Olia les Fisher, who since became the only great representative of the character in this country.— Boston Advertiser.

Boston High Culture.— She was a Boston gi: 1 and was receiving New dear's with a friend in Washington. “Ah, Miss X,’ said an esthetic lieutenant, who had just been presented, “you are from Boston, I believe.” “Yes, that is my home ” “Delightful place* Boston. So intellectual. So classic, I may say. Such elegant people Such an air of refinement parmea f ing every environment. Nothing loud; nothing coarse; nothing vulgar. Delightful, dalightful!” “You bet your life it is,” sh replied innocently, “butas jfnras I’ve uot, J think Washington lakes the i ...au. 1 ' ' ' 1 ‘
