Mt:. Cleveland has ordered the fifty or sixty newspapers usually tbkenat the White House to bo stopped. "StorV'-notmy "subscription" lent a minor leak on the treasury, It Is well. Let It not be forgotten that in solid ranks, day after day, the Republicans of the House combatted the taking tip of the Appropriation bill, thus manifesting their desire for an extra session. lU'MMsa begins at o'clock In the Fresieentlal mansion. The milk and Ice men will sigh for the old times when they had time to drive over from Baltimore to supply the breakfast table. No mors smoking In the Whito Honse during business hours. Thus one by one the aweet links in the chain that binds us to the aweet past of Republicanism are being severed. Bail thought. 8'Death. MAtiR has tried punishing the liquor sellers and manufacturers with Indifferent success, and now proposes to legislate against the liquor drinkers by making drunkenness an offense to be punished by imprisonment. What's the matter that we don't hear so much fear expressed by llepubllcans nowadays concerning tho fate of the colored brother as of yore? The old concern seems to have turned entirely to tho disposition of Ollice. TtiR Indianapolis Republican organs aro sorely discontented over norue of President Cleveland's appointments. No surer sign could bo had that theto was something wrong about the President's appointments than for the organs to be pleased with them. Tnc last Republican big steal amounted to 700,000 acres of Louisiana Und, out the New Orleans Pacific Railroad Company, which lncludis Jay Gould, now cla'.m 1,000,000 acres. Secretary Lamar has ordered the en tire matter stopped where it Is, until It can be fully Investigated. Rr.v. Talmiok makes the broad assertion that at some time In his life every man will bo valued at par, which leads the Oniah Herald to remark that It has in its mind's eye a few specimens which it would be will ingto offer to the reverend gentleman for discount at a big shave. It's only four years till tho Inauguration ot a Itcpubllcan President. Kcpablkan Excnantc. We have somo recollection of that kind of talk on this side of the house after every in auguratlon, lo! thete twenty four years. There Is nothing like whistling to keep courage when passing the graveyard. The 8 o'clock White House breakfast Is creating such a hubbub among the Blaine organs that they seem to forget all about the 70D.0C0 acre steal of Louisiana lands by the late Republican administration. Jay Gould fc Co. don't care what time Mr. Cleveland eats breakfast. It is the "Backbone grant" for dinner with them. At the Brooks Sc Dickson theatrical sale in New York last Thursday were manuscript plays, stage properties, wardrobes, furniture and bad debts. Tbe manuscript of "In the ranks'' was sold for $o75; Freedom," a spectacular drama, brought $2. Messrs. Brooks A: Dickson bad paid S".C00 fcr It. The s i!t brought about ?-:C0. Aicd now tbe New York Tribune, the foremost Blaine organ in the late campaign, publishes it as a fact that Blaine and Elklns lost 00.000 by their investments In Hocking Valley. And yet, did cot Mr. Blaine vow and declare that he never had invested one dollar in Hocking Valley? But then let us remember it was Blaine, the Republican -candidate, who made the declaration. Beiaz

merely Republican talk It does not now go. Dot it was quite thort of the mark set by one Cleveland, the Democratic candidate: Tell the truth."

Tirr.ouGnot'T the country the war against skating rinks is growing in violence. Gome very hard names nre applied to them. It is not likely that the attempts to abolish the rinks by State legislation will succeed, but the agitation is doing harm to their business. The skating craze ha) probably passed Its zenith. RUS9IA Vd. ENGLAND. It is not likely that England and Russia will go to war. Neither is in the nest condition to indulge in that pastime just now. Rcsslahai net toe money for defraying the expense, while England has other affairs enlisting ber attention for the present. The Russian advance appears to have been to counteract cr offet the occupancy by the Afghans of certain positions which have never bf en under Afghan rule. England's implication in this move and counter move is from tho circumstance that the Afghan advance is understood to have been incited by Englishmen in the suite of Sir Peter Lurnsden. The chances are that England will dhclairn any responsibility for the Afr ben advance and procure the withdrawal of the latter. In that event Russia will recede. For Russia to mako war against the Afghane, means to bo at war with Persia and England as well. Neither Muscovite nor Ei glishman will be precipitate in declaring hostilities which would bring on a war of such r roportions as would follow. The arbitrament is more likely to be reason than VJio iword. THE GOULD SYSTEM STRIKERS. The strike of the employes of the Gould system of railways is giving the management no little trouble. It is likely that the report was a necessary one to enablo the management to meet the interest on the vast holdings of bonds and stocks. The tratlic of tie lines would no doubt pay fair dividends on tbo actual investments represented and itlll allow a Hying remuneration to employes. But the enormous capitalization I largely the result ot the financial watering procfis. Messrs. Gould & Co. have some millions of there securities which cost only the printing of them. For every actual dollar paid in they hold paper representing two or mere. But interest atd dividends are demanded on tho watered itsues also nnd, falling the road to pay tr-.em, with living wages to employes, reduction ot wages Is resorted to. In other word, the bogus millions of Messrs. Gould A: Co. must be maintained in market value at the ex. pene of the hard worked thousands of emploocs, It is upon turn frauds as this that legialaticn should lay its hand, and that heavily. In granting w Ay and charter rights to combinations ot capital, the States should impose prohibitions of fraudulent capitalization which, while enriching a ring of moneyed men, mint result In just such oppressions of the laboring classes as is Instanced in this reduction of wages by the Gould system. TUE BIO STEAL. The outrasreons Republican steal of 700,000 acres ot Louisiana laud is being discussed by the newspapers, except those ot the Blaine brand, The latter scorn to prefer noselng around Mr. Cleveland's appointments for some of the familiar odors which characterized officeholders for tho last two decades or more. They don't "sniff" them, and then comes tome sort of a derogatory howl. Before the Senate gets through with Mr. Ex-Bccretary Teller nnd the giving awy ot an immense body of land indirectly to Jay Gould k Co., perhaps the country will get a good look into this last big Job by the last Eerubllran administration. The Chicago Times e iitorially reviews Mr. Teller's action In a very scathing, unanswerable manner, of which the following is an extract. Tho Times says: "The facts make a case thtt strongly illustrates the need of keeping a constant watch and holding an effective check upon the Executive. A bill was brought In to declare tho forfelturo ot the Backbone land grant for the suOicicnt reason that the grantees had not performed the conditions of the granting act. Immediately tho grantees, or their lobby agents, besought the Secretary of the Interior to checkmate that movement In tho Legislature by issuing patents for tho land. Now, because ho is not an imbecile, Dr. Teller knew that If the grantees had a valid title it was in no danger of being invalidated by any action of Congreis. Knowing that, a decent respect on the part of that President's Secretary for the legislative part of the con&tiution would have dictated the propriety of deferring to its action, instead ot hastening to comply with the wishes of the Backbone syndicate. Moreover, the Government to which Dr. Teller was a Secretary was then in the last hours of its existence another circumstance that would have indicated to an Executive Secretary having proper reaped for the body that repressnts the country the propriety of deferring action. Upon the great Dr. Teller, however, bota these circumstances seem to have had the opposite effect. In view of the action of Congress and of the fact that his own otlicial career was near its close, that unaccountable potentate Is said to have strained himeelf, working even an extra force of clerks in his department night and day, to issue patents for the Backbone land grant before Congress should take action, or the close of his oßicial life should prevent his performance of that tervice for his admiring friends of the Backbone syndicate. That he effected his purpose of OYcrrcschlng the 'watching body' is evident from the statement that when the Backbone lobby men were told (day before yesterday) that the new Secretary of the Interior had ordered the land cilice to suspend all further proceedings in the matter of the Backbone land grant 'they smiled and said that every patent, properly registered and signed, had

been delivered before the 1th of March! Tbe facts present a case exactly In point, stowing that, unless the body whose ofiics it is to watch and check the Executive Is backed by an effective public opinion, tha Executive baa the means of setting them aside or compelling them to subservience.' "

THE SERVANT OIBL PROBLEM. It appears Inconsistent that even In a teaeon of bard times, such as tbe recent jast hrs confessedly been, there should be difficulty in securing domestic servants. Only a few weeks ago what was considered reliable data gave ont that 5CO.C0O male wageworkers were out of employment In the United States. But even at that time, and In the very cities where there were thouesnds of men thrown out of work, female domestics were at a premium. To-day the "lady of the house" In country and town Is perplexed over the question of the servant girl. Theuituation is r.s much vexed in Boston as in St. Louis, and in the New England farm home as in the Western. In Massachusetts, where the fen ale population largely outnumbers the male, the complaint Is well nigh universal. This Is accounted for by the enormous demand for girls in the mills. In Lowell, of S.i.COO operatives employed in manufactories, 70 per cent, ate female. The poor rr siding In the vicinage of New England manufacturing towns llr.d dilücully in retaining their I. iris at hon e after they Lave reached sixteen. Tho mills oHer supporting waces, and the plrh r.rn inc lined to that class of employTrent rather than to the domestic. But tbre ia not so much mill work for them it: feWest, and it is Mngnlar that Chicago nrd St. Lonla should make the same plaint es the Eastern eitle. There appears to bo n disinclination on tbe part of girls to do domestlo work in a fnmily. Let a manufactory or a store advertise for a girl and tho advertiser will bo overrun with applicants. Even hotels find no difficulty in procuring all requisite help. But the same girls will refuse employment In families where, in addition to home benefits, they may receive better wages.

It looks as if "Fritz, our cousin German," contemplates taking possession of the American stage for a time. Dr. Damroscu's German Opera Company held the popular New York boards for quite a whilo, and Is now drawing largely in Chicago. Herr Adolph Sonnentbal, the actor from Vienna, Is now playing in New York, while Herr Anton Bchott, of tho Damroöch company, annrun cea his Intention of opening in New York with an Imported German opera caste stronger than the Damrosch. How nptly Illustrative of the adage, "Rnnnlngwlth the haro and chasing with tho hounds," wis the action of tho Republicans regarding tho special session. With the membors ot the Houre voting as a unit to force the extra tension, we are told by the leading Repnbllran organ that the Republican Senators worked to prevent the extra session. In betting parlance the Republicans "hedged." The Republican Senators "coppered" the bet of the Representatives. A Rei i ist.K AK Postmaster wrote to Washington the other day asking to be retained The application was accompanied by a pho tcgraph ot tho writer, and stating that ho was a sufferer from lntlammatory rheumatism.

It is surely an inadequate punishment merely to deprive a physician who maliciously certifies that a sane person is insane of the ri.ht to practice for five years, as is provided by a Government measure now before the Ontario Legislature.

The Controller of he Currency has just notified the unfortunate stockholders of the late Richmond National Bank, controlled by the Ccäin family, who have now left Richmond for the? food of the city, that an assessment cf 1C0 -cents on the dollar is now due, and has directed A.D.

considerably more than $100.050. The principal tolveral owners ot stock are Kebecca Harris, who holds 27,000; D. J. Hoerner, tl.oOU; James Morrleon, $12 500; Susan Dunham, $",200; C. C.

A Trnvollctr hl an Insulte a Lady attU) Qrund Oporn lloueo and Get Thrnehed. At the hox-olfice of tho Grand ()ert Houto last nljiht at the conclusion of th performance of 'Fantasma," a portion of the audience as they passed out were treats 1 to a fistic sceno not down on the bills. The circumstancri h a ling to the scens In question were about as follows: A rather dapper, well dretsed man, of the brnnetta type, entered the house Just before the curtain rore, and depositing tils overcoat In tie cloak-room, proceeded to display himself In inch a manner at the rail In the back partot tbe theater as to attract immense attention. Tbe flashy manner in which he was draped would have done this without his posing. Just before the conclusion of the last act be singled out a very estimable yonng lady, heated on the north side ot the house, in company with a well known young man, as hla tpeclat victim, beatlcg hlmfclf near her ho dropped it card which read about as follows: "My address on opposite side. Will remain here until Monday." On the reverie side: 'Bates House, caller's card Mr. Harry Worden, Room 23.'." The lady turned the card over to her escort, who at once singled out the sender and would-be "masher," and at the conclusion of the performance, leaving the lady In the back part of the theater, followed hint out to the box-office, here he had stopped to sjeak to an acqnalntance. Without any preliminary warning he at once attached him and gavo him a well-merited thrashing, blacking his eye and completely wrecking his slick pin-; hat. At the lira blow the "masher" fell to his knees and begctd like a cur, saying he wcula apclcglze do anythlng-only not to dUfieme him for tho take of his wife. Finally the young man's wrath was appeased and the 'masher" made his etcape. The last seen of him he had entered a hack, evidently intent open leaving the city at once. From Mr. Harry Moynhall, manager of the Hanlon Bros'. Conn any, It is learned that Worden wa formerly assistant treasurer of Whitney's Opera House, Detroit, but is now traveling for a wholesale honie. In tbe future he will doubtless steer dear of Indianapolis. Local Courte. f. crxBion co cht. P.eoa 1. Hon. N. B. Taylor. Judca. Vincent D. Byfield vs. Haugh, Ketchira &Co. Damages. On trial by jury.
