Prejudice is strong where human brains are weak the world over and in no part of it more than in the sanctams of the great London journals duiing the present political excitement. A more conclusive demonstration of this fact could not be found than in the comments of those papers on Salisbury's speech at
Newton. One sees in it a clear, definite and decided declaration of policy, while another thinks the speech indefinite and weak.
r*
Queer sort of consistency, isn't it, which the signal service officials display in proposing to courtmartial an officer who strenuously objected to the detail of a colored subordinate as his assistant at Pensacola on the ground that the people did not want a colored man sent there and then after the officer had been degraded to remove the colored man for the very reason stated in the officer's com' plaint? This is a good deal like the treatment of the colored man in the south in regard to his political rights, The people favor the enfranchisement of the colored man Joecause it gives an in •creased representation but they oppose the right of the voter to vote because it is distasteful to have him among them on an equality.
There can be no more severe criticism of Prof. Smart's fitness for chairman of the civil service commission than that he is more of a partisan that a civil service reformer. He is an able educator and being at the head of a great institution of learning enjoys a distinction, or at the least an opportunity to gain renpwn in his chosen calling, that would, unless bent on political life, gratify the an bition of one whose mind is occupied with his profession. The fact that he allows himself to be pushed forward as an applicant for this place by men who despise the law under which he would be called upon to act is evidence enough that he is not the man for the position. If there is any office that should seek the man this is the one.
When Judge Thurman held up to the country as a bugaboo the idea that Senator Sherman's doctrines would be the issue of 1888 if the republicans in Ohio are successful next Tuesday he didn't frighten any republicans. As the Chicago Inter-Ocean says, it is to be sincerely hoped that such will prove to be the case. The Inter-Ocean further remarks:
There iB no other issue at an comparable to' it in importance and vitality. It takes hold of the popular heart not only, bat it appeals to the higher ranges of patriotism. Indeed, it iq no exaggeration to say that the very safety of the repnblic demands that this issue should be raised and met with all practicable promptness and fullness.
It is significant' in this connection that Judge Thurman and Governor Hoadly differ widely as to the issue in the Ohio campaign. At Toledo last night Hoadly 'said the issue was prohibition, and he addressed himself almost entirely to th»t question.
Judge Thurman is a more experienced politician than Hoadly and knows the importance of meeting the great question in a political contest.

THE PENSION AGENCY.
A Fat Office—General Manson the Choice of the Soldiers. General Fred. "Knefler's term as pension agent expires the 25th of next month, when he will be succeeded by Colonel Zollinger, of Ft. Wayne, whose appointment has been announced. Hie salary is $4,000, and the bond $250,000. When General Knefier was ai there were 13,000 pensioners in the state. That nuinber has been increased to 28,000, General Knefier is of the opinion that the number will- be 35,000 before the end is reached. The Indianapolis Journal says "General Manson was the choice the soldi?r8 for the position, but he did not have the personal favor of Senator Voorhees, and it was for this reason solely that he did not receive the appointment The general assembly, the national convention of Mexican veterans, and a dozen or more of soldiers' reunions passed resolutions urging the president to appoint him, but the indorsement of the soldiers did not have as much weight with the administration as the indorse meht of Senator Voorhees, who has not been disposed, in the distribution of his patronage, to give much consideration to the soldiers. The reason which he gives, it is said, for not recommending the "olc war horse" is that General Manson, as lieutenant-governor, in about ayear from now, will become governor, as Gray is pretty sure to be elected United States senator, if the next legislature is democratic, all of which depends upon two contingencies of great uncertainty."

Colonel Zollinger acted with the republicans until the Greeley campaign.
The Mascot That Beat the New York NineChicago Mail.
Any 1885 history of the Chicago nine would not be perfect without the introduction of that "mascot," little Willie Hahn. He is a tiny resident of the neighborhood of' the ball park, and was first discovered by Kelly, who was attracted by his flaxen hair and big blue eyes. Since then he has been at every game played on the grounds, accompanying the nine when they came on. Willie will b£ entitled to his "bit" of any benefit money the nine may get Every man in the nine firmly believes the club can't lose the game if he is present, and as confidently believe they can't win if he fails to appear.

DEMOCBATIC PqLmc8.—From the conversation ef a democrat, and one who is, in the party secrets, the democratsjbave begun to pick out their ticket for next year. For secretary of state there are several candidates, but Win. J. Hilligrass, representing the counties of Huntington and Wells in the. state senate seems to hare the lead. Mr. Shaaklin is also talked of but his actionem regard to Voorhees and McDonald have lost him their influence, which they will throw to Hilligrass. For treasurer of state, Thos. Burns, Of the pocket, already has his friends working for him. Dr. Rider, of Knox, is spoken of fer auditor. Said the reporter's informant: If Gray is elected to the senate, Manson' will be governor, ^pd .^will run for governor 8 8 "Who for lieutenant governor?'' "Willard. Jim withdrew in favor of
Manson last year. He was promised something if he would do so, and he is entitled to something. If he does not go abroad he will be the nominee."
TEBUE HAUTE CLEBGYMEN AT HABTFOBD.—Invitations have been received here for the installation of ft. W. Kittredge Wheeler, the new preacher at the South Baptist churchy Hartford, Conn. The ceremony occurred last night. The Eev. C. P. Croft, lately of this city, was one of the speakers, he making the charge to the pastor. The Rev. George C. Lorimer, of Chicago, who dedicated the Baptist church here, preached the sermon. The Rev. J. K.. Wheeler, lately from Terre Haute, is located at the other Baptist church in Hartford, his name being the same as the South church minister, and the two bearing a strong personal resemblance.
BEAUCHAMF'8 INTENTIONS. E. P. Beauchamp, of Terre Haute, otherwise Lord Emory P., of St. Galle, arrived in the city Wednesday evening, having spent a few days on his farm near Greencastle, whichhe is stocking with fine short-horn cattle, purchased in the east. Mr. Beauchamp made known immediately his attention to open a law office in this city.,. He Bays hjfwill also devote his intention to the raising of fine cattle. Speaking of hie family, Mr. Beauchamp said that they were with his father-in-law at Cologne, and that he would go to Europe next spring and bridg them home.
HALF BARBELS.—"The proprietors^ of the distillery have announced their intention of doing away with the tin cans," said Collector Hanlon to an Express reporter. Half barrels are being made to replace them. The half barrels are easier gauged, but they give the distillers the same advantage as the cans.-
A SALT WATER CRANK.
He Aspires to the Command of th-e United States Navy—The Only Poet Left. WASHINGTON, D. C., October 8.—A short, slight, swarthy- complexioned man, dressed in the plain, rough clothes of Workman^ rang the bell of the front door of the White House. His dusty dress was made to look still dingier by the clean color of alight blue brocaded silk scarf, which was tied iu a sailor's knot around his seamed and wrinkled neck. When the door of the White House was opened the caller demanded to see the president. He said coolly and quietly, in the expressive vocabulary of the most fluent of talkers, that he desired to take command of the navy of the United States that he had worked his brain in some mysterious way so as to affect the result at Chicago last year. If it had not been for him Cleveland could not have been nominated, and if it had not been for his system of mathimatical combination
"I want it distinctly .understood that am not a mugwump. I am a democrat If I am plaeed in command of the navy of the United States now in a very short time there will not be single republican left in the service.'
Sergeant Dinsmore shut the door in the midst tn.it He told ^«iin to write president. the subject. jrae man walked' away very indignant. He said at the outer gate: "I have ordered out companies and to brine the president out of the White House, wnere I oan get at him and tell him what I want. I can soon show him what to do. Besides having secured his election and being entitled to the position on that ground, I should have full control of this administration on account of my scholastic abilities. I am the greatest scholar in the world,, and the only poet left. I can put all the knowledge that is upon this glebe into fortns of poetry which will dazzle, instruct and enchant every one."
As companies and had not made their appearance late in the afternoon, it is probable that the future commander of the navy will next bombard the president through the mails.
THE PRESIDENT'S HEALTH.
Obesity, and What It Indicates—Hinting at a Second Term. Washington Special.
Along with the advice given the president a few days ago by a lady friend, were some suggestions from a gentleman about the presideut's health. Some hints were also thrown out in this direction, it is stated, by a party of Buffaloans who called recently at the White House. Mr. Cleveland was given to. understand that obesity did not always bespeak health 'a
on the contrary, it indicated delicate constitution, especially where one grew stout mdoore. The president was surprised that anyone should think he was not rugged in appearance as well as reality, a»d promised to take more exercise. Since that time he has frequently appeared in the White house grounds early in the morning, walking briskly abonf. The strain on his nerves, he told a man yesterday, he found almost unbearable, but he thought he could stand it. "Yes, you could stand it seven or eight years," suggested the visitor. "Do you think so?" earnestly inquired Mr. Cleveland, looking up. "Certainly." "But probably the people won't think so," said the president, laughingly, but solicitously.
It is said the president picks up very quickly all such references as to a second term, and seems much interested, how-ever,-in away intended to impress the visitor that the executive only wishes to learn how his administration is taking. It is believed the president will get married after, affairs get better under way.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Senator Beck Gives His Views on Senator Sherman's Proposition. CHICAGO, 111., October 8.—In an interview here to-day Senator Beck, of Kentucky, who is a member of the senate committee on finance, said, among other things of the silver question: "It is indeed a great question, and a temporary suspension of the coinage may be for tke
best, but John Sherman's proposition to the silver in the dollar by
itv per
to. Written on the face of the bonds of Joly 14,1870, was the condition that they were payable in gold of silver coin. The latter meant the dollar then the standard, and what debtor can be expected to add twenty per cent, to his debt when the conditions were nominated by the creditor? Gold*is bocoming scarcer, and with the increasing scarcity its price advancing.- The silver dollar will buy more to-day than it would since civilization began, and it has not depreciated except in comparison with gold. But the creditor class, which has steadily squeezed their debtors since greenbacks were at fifty cents on the dollar, want to turn the screw once more by forcing them to pay either in gold or in twenty per cent more silver than when their debts were contracted. The creditor class is, indeed.
Its means toward reaching the public ear are perfect, and it a^ts unitedly, ani carries down the debtor class, which, though ten times more numerous, are like raw militia. Hie treasury department under John Sherman (and it is no better now) has been the enemy of silver. It is time that an executive order from one who is a mere clerk of the president should not overweigh and defeat the wishes of congress."

JACK BERESFORD.
Scion of a Noble Family on he American Stage. New York Special to Post-Dispatch.
Few oi the "democratic .citizens, of Jersey City are aware that a veritable 6cion of English nobility is among them, and resident Anglomaniacs will grieve when they learn that the illustrious gentleman will .depart to-night, perhaps forever, without being preferred the courtesies usually extended to distinguished strangers. Jack Beresford, as he is called by his intimate friends, is the only son of the youngest menJier of the well-known Beresford family, which boasts among its ancestry the notorious marquis of Waterford, whose escapades were not confined to the old countiry alone, but. who experienced particular attention at the hands of the New York police many years ago, when he tried to paint the city red- Among other well-known members of the house are Lord Charles, Lord MOTCUS and Lord William Beresford, who, while bearing the reputation of the "wildest boys", in the y-nglinb peerage, have proved themselves equal to the "best and .bravest," both on land and sea. In all recent wars in which England has been embroiled the
Beresfords have received the thanks of the queen and her parliament for military ai.d naval services. The. Hollis branch settled in Kent,'being poorer than their old brethren., and the senior members adopted the church as a profession, following the example of the great Archbishop Beresford, wno was a noted figure in English history at the close of the last century. .Young Jack Hollis, upon leaving Oxford, went to London to study law, but was soon, drawn into the vortex of sofciety and plunged into every kind of gaiety and frivolity with the impetuosity of youth. His losses and successes on the' turf were as changeable as his affection and he finally disappeared from view to fscape the penalty for inducing another young blood to fight a duel, whose parents influenced tne authorities on his behalf. The next heard of this gallant youth was an intrigue with a certain Parisian beauty, which caused her dissipated but wealthy husband to threaten to shoot the young lothario. Hollis was vet young, being but 20 years of age, handsome, brave and adventurous. Finding the gay city of Paris, where he had led a delightful life, becoming too warm for him, he returned to England, vowing reformation and determined to adopt tllfe stage—that refuge of impoverished sons of the English aristocracy. About this time several well known noblemen did likewise, a "brother cf Lord' Softon, Sir Randal Roberts and others among the number. Lord Hbllis made his debut at the Princess of Wales' theater, Liverpool, in "Ours," scoring a success. "After several months, during which he was devoted to the stage, he came into possession of a little property by the death of a relative and determined to come to America. He arrived in New York about three years ago, and was received with open arms by the other exiled noblemen, and the aristocratic residents of Murrv Hill, and livipg in luxurious apartments at the Windsor and other hotels, his expenses were a ttrifle beyond his income, and he was compelled to part, acre by acre, with the "green fields" to which he had fallen beir. He was responsible for the introduction pi the English style df dress and living more than any other English importation, and his clothes were copied by Berry Wall, young Tilden and others whom he patronized. In a little time he had parted with his last hundred, and he resolved to quit fashion and return to the stage. His deportment and address soon procured him engagements in several traveling companies, which in several cases proved short lived. Hard luck followed him until he joined one of the "Private Secretary" companies, in which he was successful as Harry Mars land. This season he was especially engaged by Henry Chanfrau to play the part of The English swell in "Kit," and he made a hit everywhere, few being aware that he was the genuine article. Last week the company played at Niblo's, and the profession were surprised at the commendatory criticizing he received Since Monday night he has played at the Jersey City academy, and -the Post-JMs-patch correspondent called on him there last night. Whenr questioned concerning his impressions and intentions, Lord.John his dressing room, which was littered with the usual amount of apparel which Englishmen are apt to affect. "Deah boy," he said, with a drawl, "for heaven's sake say nothing about me. I am trying to live quietly as an American gentleman. It's really unfair, you know, old chappie. I have been deuced well treated here, and I am satisfied. Forgotten all about Londfti, ye know ha, ha, good-by." Nothing- would induce him to speak about htmself. While a resident in New York Hollis was implicated in several club quarrels, and after he had abandoned his pwell friends and began to spend his evenings in well-known beer halls and other Bohemian resorts, he became a dread to any tough wio dared to insult his friends. Three months ago a s|age hand, who alleged that Hollis had "mashed" a chorus girf with whom the theater attache was in love, was soundly thrashed on Broadway by Hollis. The spectators applauded the pluck of the young noblemnn, who is about five feet six inches in height, and slender in build. Since then he has been let severely alone.

THE MEANEST OP MEN«
He Sends a Fifiy-Daila* CMftdnat* BUI to the Grant Honnment Fond. NEW YORK, N. Y., October 8.—Drexel, Morgan & Co. received an envelope from Augusta, Ga., yesterday, in which was inclosed one of the circulars recently issued by the Grant monument association, and a fifty dollar, confederate bill. This.relic of the past was numbered 23,169, and was dated "Richmond, February 17, 1S64." In the center is a vignette of Jeff Davis, habited^ in mwe attire. Under his instructiops the bill was stamped .with the humorously illusory promise that two years after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the Confederate States and the United States of America was to pay the bearer on demand $5(5." As the contributor of this relic failed to send his name, it is supposed he does not consider his subscription to have a market value.
His surprise will probably be equaled by his chagrin when he hears that the secretary of the Monument associatioh has already been offered twenty-five cents for the fifty-dollar promise of the "Confederate States of America." This offer has been refused, on the ground that there are many men in New York who will be glad to paralyze the meanest man in Georgia by giving something handsome for tSa bit of waste paper.

THE ROGERS CASE.
The Testimony All In—Where Rogers Got Money. The testimony in the Rogers case closed the Circuit court yeserday. Judge Jump announced that he would have the court reporter transcribe the testimony and would review it". He said he would hear the argument at the convenience of the attorneys. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers were on the witness stand. Mr. Rogers, testified that. he was deeply in debt to his wife about $15,000. He borrowed money ol: her, and received the rents aud profits from her property for several years. He purchased property and placed it in her name to repay her. He said he obtained the money from various sources—some from the general fund in the county treasury.
Mrs. Rogers said she inherited all her parents' property she was the only heir. She understood, when the money was obtained from Messrs. Shannon, Beach, Schloss and Keith, that claim on her property was to be in the shape of mortgage.
"Stuff a Cold and Starve -a Fever." Says a writer in Babyhood: This widely misquoted homely proverb has a still more widely spread misuse and misinterpretation, which makes it desirable to remark that the original meaning of the phrase is lost nowadays. As it originally went, the saying was: "Stuff a cold and starve a fever." This meant that by giving a person stimulating food when suffering from a cold, an incipient lung or other fever would thereby be "starved," or kifled^rthe word staive in old English havinrjfthe meaning oi-kill from the "Anglo Saxon stearfian, to die," as any one may see in so accessible an authority as Webster's dictionary, where it may also be»noted that our modern meaning of "to suffer extreme hunger or thirst" is of secondary application. Surely no one to-day ought to be foolish enough either to "stuff a cold" or "starvfe a fever" without advice that is based on science rather than an old-wives' saying of'the middle ages.
