President Cleveland hates editors and deepisee their ghoulish glee, yet he evidently considers them a class to be conciliated. Every once in awhile he tosses a fat office to one of them, by way of appeasing the class to which he belongs. Bat the press is incorraptible. It is not to be cajoled, nor its attention diverted from the faults and failures of the administration, by the bestowal of a poetoffice here and a deputy collectorship there. The United States editor folds his aims across his manly cheet, assnmee the attitude of Napoleon at St. Helena, and haughtily defies Qrover.

The New York Graphic thinks the ap pointment of a few obscure editors to more obsoure postoffices, with the appointment of Benjamin F. Myers poetmaster at Harrisburg, the award of similar commissions to Editor Baily of the Utica Observer, and Editor Ketchum of the Poughkeepsie News-Press, ought to stop the silly twaddle about the president's antipathy to editors. But the uncomplimentary speeches of "his excellency" are on record, and three editors rewarded for arduous service do not prove warm and deep affection for the profession. It shows rather that he is willing to accept a few in the general denunciation of the many, and for such clemency no doubt considers himself entitled to boundless credit. He is probably posing as a very robust figure of magnanimity, looking toward the next campaign.

The hyenas who have busied themselves over the bones of Grant are now snuffing about the grave of Beecher. The most important contribution to postmortem slander is a three column article, which has appeared in a number of leading papers, rehashing the old scandal, and reviewing its minutest details. There is hardly rf tribe of barbarians that doee not venerate the dead. A man in his grave has no defense from cowardly and malicious enemies. He is at their mercy, and, although beyond the reach of aught that may wound or hurt, his family csn suffer for both.

Whatever a man may have been in life, death separates him and sets him apart from those who may be taken to task for their faults and failures. When the earth covers him, he should be buried from his enemies as well as from his friends, and all that was unworthy in his career forgotten. 'Comment upon the faults and misdeeds of these who have ceased to live, in any case, is profitless and cruel. It is infinitely more so when a man's virtues have out-weighed his faults, when he has made his country and his race his debtors by a courage and steadfastness in the performance of duty of which his traducera would have been incapable and which they are unable to comprehend or value. Christianity gave to the race anew moral code granted upon the Golden Rule but from heathendom there survives an aphorism that embodies the whole spirit of christian forgiveness and charity. It is that which commands just and honorable people to speak no evil of the dead.

The habit of procrastination seems to be peculiarly American. Nine tenths of the terrible disasters and accidents that occur may be traced directly to delay in making necessary provision or repairs. Rotten timbers are neglected until the rickety bridge totters and falls under the weight of a train, and men, women and children are killed outright or mangled so that they drag out a miserahle exist ecce infinitely worse than death. The broken rail, the imperfect flange are overlooked, and their repair postponed uAtil a bloody accident has occured and a score of victima have been sacrificed

There are in every city hundreds of buildings that have been condemned as death traps, xith roiten walls, insecure stairways, and roofs and partitions that will serve as tinder in the conflagration that ensues sooner or later. The owners are notified, but this done, the author! ties molest them no further, thinking they have performed their whole duty, The hollocaust is furnished for thenews papers, and the eel lapse that buries dozen families under a heap of brick and mortar and splintered timbers fa niehes its readers an exciting change from uneventful politics. The poison distilling sewer, the nuisance that con taminates the air and breeds fever and pestilence, are visited by the health officer, inspected and condemned. But no steps are taken to force the corporation or the property owner to comply with the law, until an epidemic of scarlet fever, diptheria or small-pox has visited every household in the vicinity. A man in business, who falls into the habit of put ting off tbe performance of necesaary work until a more convenient season finds that that season never comes, and he lives to regret lost opportunities in

the sound. A man who would make poverty and bankruptcy. "Now" ia the such an assertion, with thousands of individuals capable of proving the contrary by painful experience, does not value his professional reputation very highly. There is a heap of difference between talking into a man's sound ear and his deaf one, to both talker and listener.

The newly appointed railroad com. missioners are likely to make haste slowly. The work before them is diffl cult and complicated. Many questions will come up, which will require long and careful consideration. The work of organisation, the preparation of offices, and the appointment of clerks will not be entirely effected before June. The railroads and the public will have an opportunity to cultivate the grace of patience.

OUR FELINE FRIENDS.

Odd Freaks, Capers and Devotion of the Household Pet. Pittsbnrg Dispatch.

On the battle field of Sebastopol a week subsequent to the conflict cats were found clinging to the knapsacks of their masters, whom they refused to leave after their death.

A curious story is related by a correspondent of the London Field of a tabby cat which produced and successfully reared a family of five kittens in a disused magpie's nest at the fop of an elm tree.

A cat carried alive snake into a dwelling house of W. H. Stephenson at Hartwell, Ga., Tuesday, and when it was discovered was playing with it as if it were a rat. The snake was killed and the cat's fun destroyed.

Some felines may be dstitute of gratitude all are not. A cat, whose leg had been mangled by a trap, was tenderly nursed by its mistress until the wound was healed. Thenceforward for many months each mouse that became its prey was taken to its mistress, the cat refusing to eat it until she had accepted the gift and restored it to its donor.

Upon a cape extending from the Isle of Cyprus there formerly stood a monastery whose monks were eolemnly bound to keep c«ts to destroy the snakes infecting the island. When a certain bell rang tbe cats came to their meals, and then set forth again in pursuit of the reptiles The monastery and cats were destroyed by the Turks, who conquered the isl.'.nd toward the close of the sixteenth century, but for many years after the cape waa called "Cat Cape."

A noted singer of Paris once had a cit possessed of such an ability as to detect a musical imperfection that she never Bang apiece in public until she had sung it to puss, confident that she would please an audience if ber rendstion was satisfactory to the cat.

Among the Copts, (says a writer in the Cof mopolitan), tie descendants of the inhabitants of ancient Egypt, the notion is entertained to this day that twins (until 10 or 12 years of age,) if they go to bed hungry, roam about in the gaise of eats, their bodies lying at home apparently dead.

According to Peter Hae, the Chinese nsed the cat as a clock. "They pointed out to as," says the missionary, "that the pupil of its eye contracted gradually as noon drew near that at noon it was like a hair, or an extremely thin line,

A cat got upon the rim of a hieh fly wheel which runs in a pit at an electric light station in Brooklyn. The wheel was soon making twenty revolutions a minute. It was impossible to rescue the cat from its perilous pos-tion without stopping the engine and putting out all lights dependent upon tbe dynamos in the atation so that the unfortunate animal had to ride until the engine was stopped at the usual hour for putting out the lights. The cat then dropped exhausted from the wheel, but soon revived, and was none the worse for its strange experi°nce. It is estimated that in the wven hours which the animal spent on tbe wheel near the rim it traveled more thsa MO miles,

HERE AND THERE..

Since the Sage case against tbe city came, up for trial and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff and an award of several handled dollars damages, greater care is taken to prevent accidents occurring from obstructions in the street. The police force have received an order to report all obstructions and notify the proper persons that all such obstruction* shall be xsated at night by a danger signal. As a result every day on tbe police record there is a list of obstructions. The city ordinance readq that signals shail be placed upon all obstructions within reasonable length of time. This is construed to mean that lights shall be put oat immediately. If lights are not put out upon notification the police will then fi'e complaints against the persons whose duty it is to display the signal* of dan g«v

"What is the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and children doing?" asked an Express reporter of a member of the organization. "Nothing," was the reply. "We can't do anything." "Why can't you?" "Because our bill failed to pass the legislature. It went through the house bat was Willed in the senate."

It would seem that the organisation of tbe society will not accomplish the good for which it was formed. Undoubtedly theie are many cases in this city which such a society could get hold of and punish. It is to be regretted that the bill did not become a law, and the members of tbe society are greatly disappointed at the failure to pass the measure.

The drills at the gas wells have been recovered and operations have been re sumed. The well is being sunk very rapidly. It has now reached a depth of over 700 feet, and if no accident is met with it will not be long until the natural gas question is solved, as regatdsTerre Haute. The well is nearly half-way down. It will probably not be driven to a greater depth than 1,600 feet. The well is within an enclosure from which every one is excluded. But very few have gained admission to see the method of operating. Were it open to the public there would no donbt be many visitors.

The Rigler will ca°e is nearing an end and yesterday afternoon it was given to the jury, judge C. F. McNutt argued the case Thursday afternoon for the plaintiff, He was followed Judge Eggleston. Yesterday morning Judge Rboads began speaking after 9 o'clock and continued until after 11. There was quite a large crowd in the court room. At the con elusion of Judge Rhoads' speech, Sant C, Davis began tbe closing argument for the plaintiff. His speech was nearly two hours in length. Yesterday afternoon Judge Allen read the coatt's instructions to jury, and they retired to consider their verdict.

At police headquarters there is kept constantly a record of the removals that take place in this city. Every day the patrolmen make a report. These reports are entered in a book and kept. There is also a list kept of vacant houses. At pzesent this list is very small, as there are comparatively few empty houses, Said a gentleman: "I never knew of time when there were eo few vacant houses as now. Nice property is in de mand, but rents are reasonably low, and will compare, I think, very favorably with other cities in tbe state."

The Peru Republican has the following "J. L. Corning, D. D., pastor of the Congregational Church at Terre Haute, is one of the talked of successors to Henry Ward Beecher. Myron Reed, of Denver, Col., is another." The Rev. Corning was a personal friend of Henry Ward Beecher, and was long associated with him in Brooklyn. The Rev. Corning is a noted divine and one whom Terre Haute would regret to give ap, but would rejoice were he nailed to the better position as Plymouth's pastor.

The divorce docket is on the increase. A number of suits for legal separation have been commenced in our courts within the past few days. Two new di vorce proceedings were filed Thursday, In the Superior court Madison Jordan has filed a complaint against Annie Jordan. In the Circuit court Clara Tryon prays for a divorce from her husband, Noah Tryon.

"How's business?" asked an Express reporter of a collector this morning. "O, it is fair. Yet it is rather difficult to make collections just now. There are a great many who are paying city, county and state taxes and say they are a little short of cash just at present. I think though collections will be easy this summer, for there is an evident revival of business."

Narrow Escape Prom Cremation. CHICAGO,

March 25.—Flames destroyed

four frame dwellings in the village of Hermosa, on the St. Paul road, just out side the city limits, at a late hour last night. Three of the structures were owned and occupied by railroad employes, who lost everything they owned. The fourth was unoccupied. John McEnery, section boss ot the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul railroad, awoke to find his house in flames and his family nearly suffocated. Seizing his wife, who was sick, he fought his way out, but was then overcome by smoke and could not reach his two children, who were rapidly being approached by the flames. John Murphy, who lives rear by and who was awakened by the flames, arrived in time to make his way through the bedrcom window and pass the children out. With difficulty he saved himself and gave the alarm to the occupants of the adjoining houses. The total loss is $8,000 with no insurance. The Jeffersou fire department arrived after all was over. No water was to be had.

At present the entire machinery of the district organisation is in the hands of a radical faction, the friends of Nelson. The im mediate effect of the ruling is to prevent Nelson's supporters from levying assessments upon his political -antagonists, or using the organization as a poli ical col' lection agency. It is in a general appli cation, however, that tbe ruling is most interestiFg, for the precedent established defines the policy of the Knights of Labor wherever their organization exists.

Important Ruling by Powderly—Antia bile* MortKot beAeaaaaed for Political Purpose*.

CHICAGO,

March 25.—An important

decision by the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, prohibiting branches of the order from voting money for political purposes, was made public here last eveniug. Robert Nelson, master workman of District Assembly 24, is the United Labor party's candidate for ma or of Chicago in the campaign jnst opening. Two weeks ag apparently to make a test esse, Nelson's district sembly, or, rather, the executive board of the district, voted the United Labor party $50 ont of the general fund. Local Assembly 400, which forms part of Dis trict Assembly 24, sent at once a protest to General Master Workman Powderly against the action of the district assembly. Th8 protest has brought out a ruling, which was promulgated last night, as follows:

PHILADELPHIA, March 34.

Secretary Local Assembly mo, Chicago: The appeal of Local Assembly 400 was laid before the general executive boaid, and my decision to the effect that the aotion taken bj District Assembly 34 in voting $60 to the United Labor party, or eny other party, olearly in violation of law and ee'abliahed precedent waa nnanimonely aporoTed bv majority of the board. No moaey can be voted from an assembly, district or local, for pclitical purposes. The memaera of the board preaeot when my decision waa aoted on were all of my mind. They were: Bailey, Barry Ayleeworth, Haves, Orleton. The general worthv foreman, Griffith, leo was preeer tLooal Aaaembly 400 will pay no assessment* for political parnosea

The villagers inveigled the whole body into a temple, and during the night set fiie to it Only forty occupants of the building escaped. The remainder were burned to death.

Tbe World's Oldest Tree. Ceylon Correspondence Baltimore Sun. Tbe annals of the Cingalese are said to contain a historical record of events ex tending back over a period of twenty odd centuries. These, with extensive ruins, such, for instance, as those of the ancient cities of Anuradhapoora and Pal onnaruwsi, which are known to have been inhabited aa much as 2,300 years ago, show that tbe island was originally very thickly settled by a partly civilised and very energetic people The first named city was the capital of the island for over 1,200 years after the fifth century B. In the fourth century B. C. the annals of Ceylon record that the city was presented with Buddha's begging dish, his collar bone, and a branch of that celebrated Bo tree under which he attained to Buddhahood. Nothing now remains of this ancient city but a mass of ruins, crumbling tombs and the tree mentioned above. This relic of centuries has been flourishing for nearly 2,200 years, and is consequently the oldest living tree in the worH of which we have any genuine lecord. It is one of the most sacred objects throughout the entire Buddhist world, and it is este med a virtuous act on the part of the pious to make a pilgrimage to it. Its fallen leaves are considered a great treasure and are frequently carried to Siam. Burmah, China and Japan by pilgrims from those countries.

March 25.—Diffi-

cutt between different branches of labor yesterday had the effect of paralvzing the cotton trade, and making idle 10,000 men. The business has until lately been controlled by a council, which included employers and employes alike. When the question of advancing wages came up, it is claimed tbe employers, aided by the associations of colored laborers, succeeded in defeating it. Then the white laborers withdrew from the old council and organized a new one. The colored associations refused overtures to join the new organization, staying with tbe employers, and the trouble came over a refusal of the new council to work with, members of tbe old. No trouble' has so far occurred, but a bloody riot is looked far.
