There was nothing personal in It. The next time yon come over to New York I hope to have the pleasure of your cornv. any at dinner at my beuse.' The President looked at this editor a moment, and then ho said: 'Sometime after the election you printed In your paper a paragraph sayins that I wm a man of coarse and vulgar

habit", and that when I dined I performed wonderful feats of knife-swallowing. I da cot think that I wou!d be a very agreeable person for yoa to have at yoar table, ifr. Editor, and you must therefore excuse me from accepting your imitation. "

RASCALITY IN NAVAL. AFFAIRS The navy, under Republican management, was undoubtedly ore cf the most corrupt departments of the public tervice. A New York paper repeated some interesting testimony the ether day that was recently given before the Paymaster Smith Court of Inquiry. The witnefs save evidence going to show an ircprcpsr connection between the Paymaster General and certain favored contractors who are now forbidden to bid for supplies upon tzy cf the pre-ent na7y contracts. The first witners was Georee W. Simpson, cf Simpson, McIUyre & Co., Basten, the butter firm. They have a patent for packing butter to go long distances or to be kept a long time and have supplied butter to the navy for yesrs. This firm famished 30,000 pounds in li2 to the navy. The next year Smith was Paymaster General and the Boston butter people received no contracts. Simpson came to Washington to find out why, arriving just before the eupplies were being bought for the Greely Relief Expedition. Simpson, continuing his evidence, eaid that the Paymaster General told him that the t utter of the Bcäton firm was the best that had ev6r bean put np for the navy. There was no objection made to it in acy way, and Simpeon rested in the full belief that his firm would get the contract, cr at least an opportunity to put in a bid. The contisct was soon attsr given to a favorit9 of the Paymaster, and he found out . why through a man by the ratne cf Brown, who was the purchaser cf larga supplies for the department. lie told the batter mnn that he could have eecured for him the contrast fer 10.CC0 pounds of buttar lor the Greely relief, tut that h9 had turned the order over to George H. Gcff, because GoiT had claimed that he wm net getting his share of the contracts. He Bald that Goff was very jealous of him. Brown then went cn to say that if the Boston butter firm wanted any more contrecle, to come to him and he would procure them fcr them. Mr. Simpson said to day: "I asked him what commission ha would charge to secure the order. Ho asked me if the buttter would stand live cents a pound above the regular price, and I replied, no. He then oiTered to procuie the contract for 10 per cent, commission." Further testimsny soes to show that the butter was bought at 45 cents when the Boston firm would have famished it at ;.3 cent?, and the man Gcff referred to in the foregoing pocketed the dillerence, and it was detected in the following manner: The contract for furaishing the butter for the Greely expedition, which was turned over to Gorl, was filled by "W. I. Young, of South Market street. New York. Goft is a professional contractor, and had to go to a butter firm to get his supplies. Charles M. Yourg, who retired last year from the firm, but who is still working for it until his account with it is settled up, testified that he saw a check made out in New York payable to the order of Goff for $300. As 10.000 pourds of butter were furnished, this would make the difference between the contract price of forty-five cents and the market price, thirty-three cents. It shows that this eight cents was pnt on to give Goff his commission. Simpson says that he reported to Paymaster General Smith the improper overtures made to him by Brown. Simpson said to Smith: "I stated that I hid come to him frankly, and did not believe that a man of his reputation could afford to associate with 6cch a man as I believed A. P. Brown to be, as any boy weuid have had better judgment than to divulge secrete to a stranger, as Mr. Brown did to me. He thanked me for coming to him, and stated with an oath, that Mr. Erewn was a fool, and in this statement I agreed with hirn." Mr. Simpson also stated in this conversation trat he did not understand why the Navy should purchase butter at forty-five cents a pound when he could have furnished the butter of a much batter grade at thirty-three cents. Smith replied to this that he was very busy at the time, and gave the order to Mr. Gsff, without knowing that ether people had had a chance to make a bid. Thus the mosey used to go nnder Republican administrations. That '0 was not missed the other day when the public money was counted, simply because it was in Gofif s pecket, AMALGAMATION. It is announced that the colored people of the city will hold a public meeting for the purpose of denouncing the law prohibiting white and colored persons from intermarryirg. It is said that this law is a relic of slavery days, and is a discrimination against tbe colored race. The statute is as follows: No person having one-eighth part or more or negro blood call be permitted to marry any white woman cf this State; nor shall any white man be permitted to marrv any negro womau or any woman bavin? one-elzhtb part or mora of negro blood. And every peruan who shall knowingly marry In violation of the provisions o( thU section, on conviction thereof, be fined, etc. Another tectisn makes it a crime for any person to couneel or assist in such inhibited marriage between the races. It appears, then, from tho statute itself, that it is no more discrimination against the negro than i t is a ai n st th e Caucasian race. The punishznent for an infraction of the law is visited equally cn white and black. If the intermanyingof the two races is not a desirable thing for the interests of the State and society, it ought to be prohibited by law, for while it ia argued that natural tastes would be a sufiicient barrier, the frequent prosecutions nnder the law show that there is a neccessity for the statute. Amalgamation has elways been condemned by thinking men. The result of it, a mongrel race, is certainly a condition to be deplored. While a statute inhibiting amalgamation will not prevent It altogether, just as a statute against burglary will not eradicate burgling, yet the presence of inch a law on tbe books tends to mate rlally reduce the extent of it. It is but a narrow-minded view of this law that It Is the outgrowth of slavery times, of race prejudice, or of the cry cf Democratic maidens, "White husbands or none." The idea of matrimonial alliances between whites and blacks is repugnant to intelligent people of either race. The result on the social life of each party to such union is that the white woman who marries a colored man !j ostracised from white society, and she la likewise refuaed aJmiisIon to the social circles of the negroes. Tue same

thing ia true of the colored man who marries a white woman or a white man who takes a colored wife. The teachings and instincts of both races oppose each a state of affairs, and tboee going counter thereto become social outcasts. The oC'ipring of such a marriage is also subject to like indignity, and finds itsa'.f without a rac9. A representative colored man of the city iajs: "My wife is a colored womau. I have no desire to marry a white woman. Bat there must be no special laws against U3 on account of our color. This last badge of caste and slavery must be wiped out." This is a grcsj misapprehension of the spirit cf tho law and is a conclusion evidently arrived at without knowledge of its provisions. There is such a statute In nearly every Stale, and there would undoubtedly be if there never had bean scch an institution aa slavery. Marrying if nctaMmere matter of taste," at.d tbtra is no more reason why the State should not legislate on the subject of amalgamation than on aty other given subject aflting the present and future weitere of its citizens. If ama!qaxaticn be aa evil and an undesirable state of affairs, as on all hands it is conceded to be, why ehonld it not ba prevented by law? That the State has a right to legislate concerning euch matters is unquestioned. The statute under consideration finds the strongest support in reason, and is a wholesome law.

ILLINOIS OUGHT TO BE DEMOCRATIC. Tbe Vice Preeident was in Chicago a day or two ago, and remaiked to Judge Tree that Ilticcis ought to be a Diitncratic State. JatfgsTrre sa'd Is rep'y: "Illinois Is catnraliy Democratic. During the war it was Damccratic by at least 00,000, and at the lait tie etion the Republicans only carried the State by a reduced majority ol 23,000. j The truth is that the State ought to be oars. The people inherited Dm;cracy, they think Democratically, they act Democratically, and I prophesy that it will soon he ranked arucng the Damocratio States." "It B8ms to me," said Mr. Hendricks, "that the Daaiocrats acted very fcoliEhly in this Sena'.oril contest. They c?itainly ected in a very csrelets manner in allowing the Thirtyfourth District to slip from their handi It wes certainly a careless piece of work. We needed very much tbe assistance of a Democratic Fenator from this State. It was Mr. Cleveland's earnest desire to have that brocht about." Mr. Hendricks is right in both propositions. Illinois "ought to be a Damocratic S!ate" and "the Democrats acted very foolishly in the recent Senatorial contest." This acting foolishly may be put down as tbe reason why the Sta'e is not Democratic also. Ever since the death o! Stephea A. Douglas the Democracy of Illinois have lackei spirited, intelligent leadership. The last Presidential election demonstrated that the State waa not strongly Republican although anti-Democratic by many thousands. Blaine's majority over his combined opposition was only about 1 700, while th? Lf sis'ature on joint ballot was a lie,and all that saved John A. Legan wa3 faulty and dissgraceful Damocratic management. Mr. Hendricks calls it ''foolishness." The word is hardly strong enough. It was downwright criminal negligence. If Stephen A. Dauglass tad been Logan's vis a vis in the Senatorial contest, Legan would never have reached the Senate. There has been ever since his death no intelligent, aggressive leadership of the Illinois Democracy. Perhaps recent events may force something of the kind to the fore front within the near future. It is to be hoped bo. One thing is rranlfeet, that the great mass of the people of Illinois are sick and tired of Republicanism, as they are in nearly every other S.ate in the Union except where the Bourbon element of the party controls a flairs. THE PETROLEUM TSADS AND SUPPLIES. Since there has been a prospect of war between England and Russia, the petroleum trade baa been discussing what effect hostilities would probably have upon the oil market. So far, tbe rumors of war have effected petroleum less than any of the great com rcodities, and yet Rassia is the only competitor the United States has in the petroleum trade. The oil wells of Western Pennsylvania and those of Baku, on the CasDian Sea practically sapply the world with petrol earn. It is true seme oil is produced in Canada, South America, British Barmah, Austria, and even in Germany, but it is not sufficient to supply home consumption. It is impossible to state exactly what the world's consumption of petroleum amounts to. The daily demand upon the Pennsylvania wells fcr home and foreign markets is now about 70,000 barrels a day. but it is difficult to obtain trustworthy .figures regarding foreign oils. As to the production of oil, statistics are a little more satisfactory. The propuction of oil in 181 must be put down at 31,000,000 barrels cf forty-two gallons each. Of this amount 24.300. COO were produced by the United States and 5.O0O.C00 barrels in Bnssia. Of America's production over two-thirds go abroad. With the exception of 1,500,000 puds (7,2."i0,000 g allocs), which were exported, Russia consumes the entire output of the Baku wells. America's largest customer Is Germany. I Then comes Eagland and Eelguim, China, Farther East Indies, France and Holland. From the foregoing it is plain that a war engaging England, India, Afghan and Russia can have little or no effect upon the American oil trade. Russia's oil production is bow about equivalent to the home cT nand. She bajs very little of us. Ac the ssiue time ber export trade is so small that even if it were to fall to us during hostilities I we would not be benefited to any extent. It is well known that in the event of an Afghan war Baku would be the paint of shipment for troops en route from the Caucasus to the seat of operations. The fleet ot oil steamers trading on the Caspian and on the Volga would no doubt be used as transports, and many persons think that this, with the possible drain upon the population of Baku for military service, might paralyze, at least for a time, the Caucasian oil trade. For the past years tbe Rcssian oil business bas been making great strides, securing first of all the home market, and now being on the pointcf branching out into Germany and Turkey, and the markets of Asia Minor ana Central Asia. Any check upon this extension would of course be a benefit to the American oil industry. Many

pert on s when they speak of the good effect wer would have upon the oil market are no doubt looking at the matter from this standpoint. It eeems to us, however, that war is more likely to stimulate 1 ban to check the development cf the Kassian oil fields, and cur reasons for thinking so are these: Russia depends upon England almost entirely for her ccal supply. Even now before war is declared the Bhipment of ccafion XescattJe to Russia has almost ceased, and there is, according to reports, a coal famine at St. Petersburg. Now, cf the total product of the Fafcu wells, only 30 per cent, is iliumin atirg o l, tbe remainder beirg either lubricities oil or refuse, tar, etc, which makes tr excellent and very portable fuel. It haa losg been used on the Caspian and Volga steame:s, end recently on the Caucasian and Central Russian Railroad. It is probable that in the event of war there might be a great demand fcr this "refuse fuel" for use, lint of a 1 on the railroads in lieu of coal and on the st amshirs, which no doubt will be kept going at a far livelier rate transporting men ted munitions cf war than they were tiaispcrting crude and ruined petroleum. The prcductlon ot crude oil would thus be incresBed, and with every seventy barrels of "refuse fuel" there would be thirty barrels cf refined oil which would have to find a market, some day cr another, at the expense of the United States. However, everything at present looks very promialng, unusually promising, fjr the home producer. For the first time in a long stretch of years the prodsction has declined and is still further declining below the consumption, and, as a natuzalconsequence, the stccks on band are being reduced. In the last six months the stocks have been drawn upon at the rate of nearly, if not quite, 15,010 barrels a day. The daily production of the oil region of Pennsylvania and New York Ib now "3,0C0 barrels, and the demand about 70.CC0 barrels. In addition to this the stocks in Europe are unnsually low.

Ax exchange calls attention to the very pertlnet fact that according to Republican arguments, last year, a Democratic success was to overwhelm business all over the country, but it was expected to prove especially disastrous to the local interests of the capital city.

.V- - - . - - ' . . TBK FATAL, LEAP FROH 1IKOOKLYN BKIDGK. ROBERT EMMETT OPLUM. KILLED BY JUMTIS-; 123 FEET. The death of Robert Emmett Odium, of Washington, reported in the morning newspapers ot May 20, 18S-3, was a sore shoes: to the public. While .the feat by which the bold diver lost his life was a foolish one, it was one that appeared practicable and safe to the man who executed it, who was an exert diver, and had performed acta of darmg in his trofession only eecord to that in which he was killed. Moreover, the public admire exceptional courage, an-l are di- aopoiLtfd kl d grieved when harm overtaxes cne ho exhibits it. Robert Emmett Oiluui is remembered wtth deep regret because of his melanchoiy fate. The circumstances under which he died are familiar to every reader. His life was cf of peculiar interest, Rotert Emmett Odium was t native of Wfcsbington, D C. He was born thirty-seven years ago. Alays fond of water he learned to swim before he could read. While very young he distinguished bini?elf in his native citv, by leaping several times from the A jnedect Bridge into the Potomac. His skia in swimming was as remarkable as his courage in diving; he was victor in many contests. Five years a?o he established a swimming school in Washington. In 1S81 be traveled with Paul Boyton, giving exhibitions. He spent the eummer of 1S2 at Old Point Comfort, where he looked after the bathers. In July of that year he rescued three peraons from drowning, among them a son of :hnyler Colfax. Odium was cot fortunate in business matterB, aud his latest experiences In niBklrg a living were discouraging. During the eummer seasons, for the last two years, after he had made an unsuccessful attempt to conduct a resort at Lower Cedar Point, on the Potomac, he acted as special policeman in a conceit garden. More rscently he wai usher in a theater at Washington. For a time he was a clerk at Wil))o's Hot3l, Washington. He arrived in New York from the capital four day3 bsfore be tcck bis fatal leap from Brooklyn bridge. From bis remarks in conversation with Paul Peyton and others it appears tbathewss sanpuine of beirg unhurt in the performance of bis perilous feat, which he probably regardrd as an advertisement. The mother aid sister cf tbe unfortunate maa reside in the city of Washington. Speaker Carlisle in a recent interview said: Tbe Pies-ident is efsecsible. honestJn 1 patriotic rran. whose highest ambition ii to discharge his official duties in strict .accordance with the Constitution and tbe laws, and for Cie promotion of the public welfare. He is careful and conscientious about everything be undertake, and if lie commits anv mistake in maktur appointments or otherwise, they will. In my opinion, be due to tae fact tna: be is not able In evety Instance to procure correct inforn alien concerning the matters up3ti which hei torn ie! led to act. He works ba-d, listens patiently to the statements and toe suggestions ol otheis, and tbeu he decides aenrdioto his own judgment a to what Is rlsbtand pronar nnder all ttie circumstance. The amount ol work he performs is remarkable. It is physici.Iy impossible lor the President and his Cabinet to oo rr cre than they are doing. People who 'tiilDk that the entire body of officers and employes who bHve cnarro r( these vast Interests and who are familiar with them can be suddenly change ! without Cctrlment to the public service are, in in t nuion, very ranch mistaken, and therefore 1 tiifnk the acmlnisiration hasso far acted wisely in TeDtt to this subject. Hut this does nut moan that the paity which has received the endorse nitul of the people shall not control the tiovernn eur. It n eu simply, as I understand It. that hnt; and lctouslOerai action will I -e avoided a, far 8 p' ssihie, snd that due care and caution will be ej'ic!?f d in determining the times and places . ia which changes can be properly made. The Washington Critic eays: i Said a one-armed ex-eoldier at the Postoflk e DeI paitment to-day: "1 don't see why the boys are I Kicking over their dismisFaL Toe people elected ! us to go, and we might as well go with a good ' grace I have been in office eleven yearn, and, , while I like my position and am in love with ; M'ashicgton, where my children have been raised, i I could not ray a word it I received notice to- ' morrow. Luckily 1 have saved some money, aad Virginia is a good State to live in. Secretary Bsyard will visit Lawrence, Kas., . and deliver the annual address before the ' State University on the 8th of Jnne, Ammonia ted Bread. Ammoniated baking powders; that is, i baking powders In which carbonate of am monia is used as an ingredient, and which exhale an odor of ammonia when heated, are classed by many eminent physicians and sanitarians as superior to all others. Professor Hacsell, of London, who ia recognizsd as highest authority on tbe subject of food hygiene, commends in the strongest terms the us of carbonate of ammonia as a leavening agent, stating its great aivantags to be in its perfect volatility, whica permits it to be. by the heat ef baking entirety thrown into leavening gas, whereby the bread is iaited. The experiment with heat would seem to indicate the superior, not the inferior, value of noch baking powder. The little heat that is imparted to it when held ever a gas jet, lamp or stove, suffices to re.solve the carbonate cf ammonia into leavening gas and throw it off. The first hsat of bakirg, therefoie, will effectually develop all tbe gas, thoroughly leaven the loaf, and dissipate the pas producing ingredients of a powder of thia kind, and this is the highest test of a perfect baking powder. Whf rj other alkalis alone are nscd they are not infrequently retained, unreso'ved, through the whole process of baking, and remain an unwholesome ingredient In the finished bread. The carbonate of ammonia can not be naad as a Substitute for cream of tarter. New York Weekly Tribune. Worth Thinking Abo at.
