The New York Herald In referring to the recent reports made of the Pacific railway steals, sajs: Both reports agree In exposing a history of crime, "bribery, public and private theft and deciet unoaralleled in the history of civilization. The government debts have been ignured and prior liens created by trick and device, so that a remedy Is difficult and well nigh impossible. The statement is made by the Chicago Tribune that Blaine will at an early day write a letter declining the nomination on the Republican ticket for President. The St Louis Globe Democrat wants Blaine to decline in favor of Boscoe Conkling, and thinks it would result in a Republican "lore-feast." As well expect that any played-oat old masculine sheep with his lost bleat would recommend a wolf for a shepherd ss well ask Bob Lincoln to sab scribe 110,000 to build Marat Halstead a monument. Blaine isn't that sort of a quid. Ar.ouT the most frightened set of individuals in this ountry, at the present time, are the protectionists. They behold the inevitable fate of their monopoly, as the handwriting upon wall is too distinct to be misunderstood. No Daniel need come to life to interpret its significance, for it is a? clear as the noonday sun that a high pro tective tariff has seen its last days in tha United States. Evansville Tribune. Yes, the Republican party is in a bad way. Its monopolies, its rings and trusts, all of Its swindling machinery, has gotjto go. The g. o. p. is on its last legs, and will die "witnout issue," except, perhaps R. B. Hayes. The Indianapolis Bentinel compares Marat Uslstrad to John Brown and Guiteau, and shows wherein there was a strong affinity between these worthies. All entertained murderous and anarchistic views, and the cnly one who has escaped the gallows is Halstead, who only suggested murdering President Lincoln, but lac feed the courage of his prototypes. Evansville Tribune. It is understood that Marat Halstead, the distinguished Republican who suggested the murder of Lincoln, is for General Ben Harrison for President. It would be quite as complimentary to the little bantam, if Guiteau were living, to have him for a booster. Ho. "W. 8. Holm as, as Chairman of the Committee on Public Lands, will, we predict, add largely to his fame as a watchful guardian o! the people's interests. Under Republic in administration thieves got away with about 100,000,000 acres of the public domain in a way that must always be characterized as stealing. The Democratic administration has recovered more than 45.000,000 acres of this stolen land already, and the amount will soon be swelled to 54,000,000 acres In a short time. Judge Ilolman will make it warm for the Republican rascals, and he will object every time a land thief attempts to get away with any part of the people's domain. The Philadelphia Times proposes to pay for the best story written by a boy not over fifteen years of age $100, for the second best story $50, and $25 for the third beet story, and the same offer is made to girls not over fifteen years of age. In addition, any story received below third best, if published, will be paid for. The offer is made to the boys and girls of the country. Every contributor must send name and address of the writer with certificate of his or her teacher as to age and originality of the story. Now here Is a chance for Hoosier boys and girls to win literary distinction. The Times should hear voluminously from Indiana. The stories are to be short, not more than a column in length. The following is an extract from a "market letter" Bent out from New York a few days since to all sections of the country : The whole country is waiting patiently to see what action Congress will take to reduce the surplus in the Treasury and release the great amount of idle money now "visiness interests. If this money were one released and diverted from the Treainry vaults into the many channels where it is needed, there might come a complete revulsion of sentiment and people might, 111. - ' wiia restorea conaaence or success, not only engage In new enterprises bat harry to completion those already begun and x,ow hanging fire for want of capital or confidence.

Just why Indiana should have an association of Democratic editors is something we have never been able t discover; and just what Indiana's Damo:ratic editors in State Convention assembled have ever done for themselves, the Damv cratic party of Indiana or anybody else, is another mystery. We presume the pnrposn of the annual meeting is to shape the destinies oi the Democratic party of the State, ho to BDeak. bnt thin 1 riifnnit thing for an assemblage of editors to do. Sin,;Ie combat is the best form of battle f or (editors. As a class they do not fight well 'by platoons, rigiments or brigades. There U no issue upon which all the Indiana Democratic editors can unite except the bsnrd one of Cleveland's re-election. They Jtioold say a little on this subject, and then (go to their respective homes. SL Louis Globe-Democrat. V The Democratic editors of Indiana do aot hold conventions once a year. Ones a 'year, in January, the Democratic Editorial 'Association of Indiana meets to elect officers, to discuss a variety of topics, inter5ange greetiags and opinions, meet DamVats who are not editors from various tionj of the Stattfand let it be ander-

stood. that Democratic editors, whether single-handed, or by platoons or regiments or brigades, they fight to win and In 1388 will win.

Ma. Jesse Metcalf, of Provldenoe, R. L, Is a manufacturer of woolen and worsted goods. He employs 1,374 persons, and pays cat $10,000 a week for wages. Speaking of the President's message, he says: "I believe the President has about the right Idea of this whole business, and I entirely concur in his recommendatloas." And referring to the interests of labor, Mr Matoalf said; If we take the labor side of the question, it is clear that tree raw material will help the operative. Making all allowance for other dlflerences, we know that our labor bere produces more, is more intelligent, rrore sober. In this respect how ridiculous Senator Frye appears in that Boston speech wherein he declared that to touch the tariff in any steps or form was to threaten the total destruction of our industries. The idea of talking about the price of labor being so low in Europe because of free trade. The fact is that in Germany. Italy, Spain an 4 other countries where it is highly protected by government tar i Ö, the price of labor Is lower than It is in free-trade England. This may be a good enough story for Maine, which wants Blaine elected President, no matter at what cost, but it won't stand the test of truth and inquiry any more than that Blaine Interview which favored the free "chaw" for men, even if the women and children had to forego woolens to keep out the cold. If, therefore, protection protected labor, the working people of Germany, Italy and Bpain would receive higher wages than workfng people in free-trade England, but the reverse is true, and as a consequence the statement Is known to be false by those who make it, and it Is circulated to de ctive. The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republican in a recent dispatch to that paper recalls a scene in the National House of Representatives March 2d, 177, when Hon. Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, denounced the fraud by which Rutherford B. Hayes obtained possession of the White House. The opening paragraphs of Mr. Blackburn's speech are given as follows: Mr. Speaker Tne end has come. There is no longer a margin for argument, and manhood spurns the plea of mercy. Bat yet there is a fitness in the hour which should not pass unheeded. To-day is Friday. On that day the Savior suffered eracifixlon between two thieves. On this Friday constitutional government, justice, liberty, fair dealing, manhood and decency sufler crucifixion amid a number of thieves pointing to the Republican side of the house. After the applause, hisses and groans had died out M. Blackburn proceeded: "It was o tnat day that this presidential fraud received its nomination at the hands of the Rspublicin party. It was on that day as it recurred that every determination reached by the perjured, blistered miscreants who constitute a majority of that commission was promulgated to the country, It is on that day that you propose to consummate the iniquity and foist into power him whom tue people of the land have scorned, spurn d and rejected at the polls. K it must be, it is well that it should occur here end now; but it is also well that the record should show on whom that responsibility rests. It does not rest on the shoulders of the American people. They performed their duty nooly. When the sun want down on the 7th day of November the people delivered to their reprentativei a title to the office, indefeasible and indisputable, backed by a majjrity of 2S0.0O) votes. By their leaders this title has baea gambled away. The great beneficiary of that crime still survives, a political leper whose name Is seldom mentioned, even by the party who conferred the stolen office upon hi in a venal wretch he wanted the $50,000 a year and perquisites of the office. Too mean and despicable to kill hirasalf, an over-ruling Providence seems disposed to prolong his ntles3 existence as a monument of a Republican crime unparalleled for its enormity. Hon. Davip A. Wells, discussing "Governmental interference with production Bnd distribution" in No. 7 of the series, in the January number of the Popular Science Monthly, refers particularly to the changes in the commercial relations of Earopean countries, and says: The factors that have been concerned in effecting these economic changes and accompanying disturbances are not, however, simple, but somewhat numerous and complex. They, nevertheless, admit, it is believed, of clear recognition and statement. In the first place, the results of the Franco-German war the radical changes in the character and construction of wararmaments since that period, and the continual augmentation of permanent military forces, have entailed upon the States of Europe since 1373 continually Increasing expenditures and indebtedness; and lndict taxation, by meahs of duties on imrts, to meet these increasing financial .irdecs, hss been found to be most in accrd with the maxim attributed to Colbert, hat the perfection of taxation consists in j plucking the goose L e., the people v to procure the greatest amount of gathers with the least possible amount of jnawking. But it should be remembered that in European countries there is never a surplus. All that is extorted from the people, squawk of no equawk, is expended. European Governments, however despotic, do not tax their subjects $100,000,000 a year more than they have use for. That sort of despotism is reserved for the Government of the United States to perpetrate. The Republican party adopted Colbert's maxim, and though it has managed to rob the people of $100,000,000 a year, it has boasted that there was little "squawkinf." Bat the people to whom Colbert referred to as "geese" don't propose to be longer "placked" in the internets of monopolists. Tney are 'squawking," and the Republican "plucking" business hai got to cease. The Democratic party demands It, and the people equawk that way. PARTY ORGANIZATION. The maintenance of the organizition of the Democratic party is of the highest possible importance to the State and to the county. It is only required that the people should be familiar with the acts of the Republican party during the period that it was permitted to scoarge the country, to t atisy the most skeptical that no greater calamity couid occur than such a lack of organization in the Democratic party as would lead to the triumph of the Republican party in Indiana and in the Republic in the coming campaign. After obtaining power in 1SC1, by virtue of Democratic division, a calamity which made Republican success possible, the country was subjected to a series of scourges which were well calculated to create the belief ia some soscept-

itle minds that Jehovah, as in the case of Jov, had turned the devil loose upon the country. The Democratic party went into exile and the Republican party had its own way for a cumber of years some say for a quarter of a century, but it was not for a period quite so extended that is to say, the people, long before the expiration of Arthur's term of office expired, began to demand the return of the Democratic party to power. They saw distinctly that the infamously corrupt party must be routed, horse, foot and dragoon, or that the Government must perkh. In all the. years the Democratic party was out of power, it maintained its organization, and as a result, honest Republicans, men who loved their country better than their party, abandoned their party and denounced it as vicious, corrupt, rotten, incapable, and the good work of revolution andreform went forward until 1S76, when the people by a majority of 2S0.000 declared that the rotten Republican party should go. It did not go, because, for once in the history of the world, a combination of viliiany was able to triumph. Republican "Christless whelps" perpetrated a Christless crime, by virtue of which the Republican party retained cjLtrol of the Government eight years longer. Bat the Democratic party maintained its organization, kept its watchfires burning, and in 1S31 again triumphed. Another campaign is on. With the Democratic party organization means sueCffs in Indiana and in the Republic It m-LP the election of the Democratic State t cket in Indiana. It means the re-election of Grover Cleveland, and it means, what the people want, a continuation of economical and honest government. In Indiana, the supreme demand is thorough organization from precinct to county, and this organization we feel assured the party will have at the earliest day practicable, and that the meeting to be held in Indianapolis on the 11th inst will largely expedite the work.

CONGRATULATING THE POPE. It was fifty years ago that the present reigning Pope took upon himself the obligations of a priest of the Roman Catholic church. From St. Peter there have been, including the present occupant of the chair of St Peter, 2G5 Popes, and the average pontifical reign has been less than seven years. All faithful Roman Catholics regard the Pope as the legitimate successor of Saint Peter and the visible head of the church, and when he speaks as Pope his words have super-authority. The Rjmaa Catholic church is pre-eminently a missionary church, and its missionaries are in all lands, and wherever found it will be noticed that they have one work to perform, and only one work. Taesa missionaries readily adjust themselves to all forms of governments and to all conditions of society and quite as readily to all climates. They are cross-planters. Tha cross is the symbol of thefr faith. The humblest church, as well a3 the grandest cathedral is surmounted by the cross. The Cross of Christ is their shibboleth of the church. It points back to Calvary and forward to duty and to victory. The Roman Catholic church has a head, and hence, as a general proposition, it is a unit. It takes a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together. It don't permit divisions, schisms.. The Roman Catholic clergy are universally educated men. They determine what is required in the way of faith dogmas, tenets, and once determined, changes are made only a tiong intervals, if ever. As a result, the average Roman Catholic knows definitely what he believes and what is more, he knows it by heart. He is taught it at home, in the school and in the church. He is trained up in the way he should go, and the intention is, that in after life, he will be true to his early teachings, and, as a general thing, he develops what Sam Jones would call "immense stickability," On the occasion of the Pope's jnbilee, the fiftieth anniversary of his priestly office, congratulations are sent from all quarters of the habitable grobe, and sixtyseven Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in America, on December 23d, presented his Holiness with a congratula tory letter, in part as follows: Most Holy Father: As the devotion of a Christian people, the dignity of your bee, and the importance of the deeds done by you certainly demand, the whole worli sow congratulates you on the fiftieth joyful and glorious anniversary of that day whereon you received the Christian priesthood. Just half a century has tlspsed ei nee you dedicated yourself wholly to God and solemnly pledged yourself to serve in performing the sacred rites of Hfs temple and in furthering divine worship. Nor have you ever been found wanting in the fulfillment of your duty or your promises. All are aware that scarce-, ly were you admitted to the service of the altar when you became a model for your fellow citizens in every virtue. Then, when you were honored with the Bishop's mitre, nothing was nearer your heart than the upholding and extending of the honor and authority of God and holy church by upright laws and regulations. Bat when the provident mind of your predecessor appointed you to aid in carrying on the public business of the church, it can scarcely be told with what prudence, what wisdom, and what happy succe-s yon acquitted yourself of your Charge. And when at length you were elevaUl to that exalted position to which your virtue, your divinely conferred genius, and the other endowments of your mind have bidden you, you assuredly proved not only that the Cardinals who elected you, but that God Himself in His mercy, looked to the good of the church in these evil days. For, mindful of what has been done j by your predecessors, and walking In the footsteps of those who, under the 8a me name which yon bear, have, with so great honor occupied tbe chair of St Peter, you have left nothing un attempted to bring back to the pathway of rectitude both those of your own flock and those without the fold who Lave strayed from Christian truth. It should be said that the signatures to the address includes Cardinals and Arch' bishops, and it will be observed that the congratulations overflow with loyalty and admiration. The Pope is the head of the church, the central sun. Everything revolves aroand the Pope. There is no wrangling. Harmony prevails, and the church is therefore enabled to move right along in its chosen pathway. It may possibly occur to Protest ents that If they want to make greater headway in the world, they will be re quired to exhibit more harmony, more unity than now distinguishes their opera.

tions. It will be noticed that there Is not now, and has not been, any Northern and Southern Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholics don't do business that way. -ttor is there forty or fifty Roman Catholic sects preaching antagonistic doctrines about salvation and other things no constant revision of the Bible to get it so it will plesse everybody; and contemplating the unity and the steady march of the Roman Catholic Church, it may occur to some Protestents that those who deem it a duty to oppose Catholic progress, would do well to stop wrangling among themselves, choose a head, define a line of march, and then proceed to business. The Roman Catholic Church, it will be noticed, believe that the average communicant needs to be amused. The idea is eminently correct. It is a fact, hence a pious Roman Catholic may go to the theater, the ball, to places of amusement, and generally act as if they were still in this world and not in the world to com It may be possible, indeed it is probable, that Borne Roman Catholics, like Christians of other names, do not go to such places it fact, there are those who make no profession of religion at all, who avoid amusements, but the Roman Catholic church believes that a person can be religious and attend places of amusement. In this the church decides wisely, and to this it will come at last with all denomirations of Christians. To laugh, to Bing and dence ought net to be regarded as sinful, but rather healthful for body and mind. Again, it will never be known until tbe book of God'a remembrance is opened, the

good that has been done in the world by the Sisters of Charity. Their work of love and bcnevolenoe will win victories to the last moment of recorded time, and here again, it is possible for Protestantism to learn wisdom, since it must be time that there are outside of the Roman Catho he communion women, who for the promised rewards, are willing to donate their lives to good works. It is not surprising that Pope Leo re ceives congratulations. Victoria, a Queen fifty years, had a jubilee. Pope Leo, a priest fiftyyears, has a jubilee. The jurisdiction of the latter is the most extensive and his subjects more loyaL The idea Is a good one. May jubilees multiply. PORTLAND'S ESCAPE. A Ul Wave Which Might llave Caused ureal Uamtge, Portlakp, Me., December 30. It is evi dent that Portland escaped a great danger during tbe storm of Wednesday night. The great gale struck Portland Head at 9:30 o clock, at a time wnen in this harbor the wind seemed to be dying out Up to that time, wnue tne wind pad been terrihc, blowing mty miles an hour, the run fall ing continuously. Keeper Strout and his assistants, Joe and Gil Strout, had no idea that anything unusual was about t) occur. "it was very clear," said Oil Sirout yester day, "and we could see a long way out through the rain, and when the graat wave ni&de its appearance we could smelts white cap tar out, and could watch its approach." Apparently the monster wave came in the shape of a pyramid. It struck first against the outer line of rock, and at that time, wren the foundations of the mighty deeD 8 emed to have broken up, a mass o water towered up even, as they believe with the lighthouse itself. Bstween the line of rock extending for, perhaps, a hundred feet along the sea-liae and the shore, is an opening some forty feet deep, and varying from ten to twenty feet in length. This space was never filled with water until last night, when the giant wave broke and tilled it from above. Waves of ordinary size and power, breaking and pressing behind, added their strength to that of the monster, and the entire mass was hurled sixty feet above high water mark against the engine, boiler and fog-horn house. The force of the blow was Buch that the building, built as strongly as possible, was bent, twitted and shattered. Great iron straps were snapped as though they had been pipe stems, and the receding wave carried with it everything on shore, including 6tones weighing tons. A farmer who lives on the shore of Cape Elizabeth, about two miles beyond the head -light, said: "When the wave was coming in it made a fearful roar, but when it struck the cliffs it seemed as though it fairly smashed them to pieces. The force of the blow was tremendous. Another such gigantic billow would have dose woeful damage along the shore." A Fanic Among Children. Chicago, December 30. A horrible panic occurred to-nlgnt among a crowd of little children attending the annual holiday celebration of the Haymsrket mission in Seaman's Hall, corner of Lake and Des plaines streets. The mission is conducted by the First Congregational Church through a superintendent, Richard D. Lay. The location is just half a block from the scene of the Anarchist bomb throwing, and most of the half hundred children present were drawn from the squalid tenements in the neighborhood. The little ones were passing up and down stairs, when a shiveriog youngster, attempting to poke the fire in the halJ, overturned the stove. Superintendent Lay thoughtlessly yelled, "Fire, tire," and a wild rush by the children followed, Tfcey were met by others coming in, and all were wedged in the narrow Hair. ay. Scarcely any escaped without beipg crushed or trampled upon, but.Jso far as known, there is only one latauty. Earn Wey, aged nine, cannot live. Two sisters, LilJie and Louise Lemker, aged ten and twelve, are very seriously hurt, and the eldest may die. A boy named William Sanders Is the only one else heard to have been seriously injured. The Superintendent was at onse placed under arrest. Governor Gray for Vice-President. Anderson Democrat, it is now conceded by everybody that If he lives Mr. Cleveland will be his own successor. The Vice Presidency is being dicntsed by the Press throughout the country, and of all tbe names we have seen mentioned, Governof Gray's name is by far the most prominent. That the Democracy of Indiana will be a unit for him, and will press his name on the convention with great earnestness, goes' without saying. Governor Gray has a largo following of personal friends and admirers outside of Indiana, and his name on the ticket would make the battle easy in this State, and it behooves every Democrat in Indiana to lose no opportunity to urge his name for the second place on the ticket. A Victim of Criminal Practice. Nxw York, December 30. Pretty Jessie White, of Brooklyn, hit her home m Brooklyn this morning in apparently good health, and an hour or tw later ur mother was informed that Je33io va lying dead in the house of Mrs. Threfa Smith, a midwife. A note in her pocket, beariDg Mrs. Smith's address lei 'o tue arnstof Pulaski W. Klein, and a post mortem examination revealed the fct nat she died as the result of criminal practice. Mrs. Smith declares that she did not perform the operat.on, and tnat to g'rl came to her Louse, lay down on a lounge, aod died suddenly without tuiklnij her errand known.

THE SEASON OPENED

Key Yeit'i Reception it the Whit Eowö ErgiEi the Winter's Giyetiea. The Executive Mansion lie&uttfully Prepared for the Occasion Mrs. Cleveland and 11 er Assistants. Washikgto it, January 2. The decorators were at work in the White House, Friday and Saturday, preparing for the ceremonies of New lear day, which will be more attractive than usual, because of the presence of Mrs. Cleveland, whom every one is al waya anxious to see. The shadow of Mr. Manning's death is still too heavy to permit a gay reception, and those who expect to see the scenes of last year repeated, will be disappointed, for Mr. Manning and his wife were both anions the most active and conspicuous of the President's assistants, and there were no more popular people there. Tbe President and his wife are to be assisted only by Miss Bayard, Mrs. Fairchild and Mrs. Whitney. Mrs. Lamar ia In Georgia, where ft is said she has gone to avoid the social obligations that rest upon the ladies of the Cabinet, but for which she has no taste, and it is said that she will remain away the entire winter. Mrs. Vilas is too ill to participate in the ceremony as usual, and Mrs. Endicott does not like a crowd. Mies Bayard appears for the first time as a lady of the Cabinet, and if she takes her proper place, will stand beside Mrs. Cleveland at the reception, preceding the other ladles of tbe Cabinet, because her father outranks other husbands tn official life. It Is her first appearance in official society, although she has been at small gatherings before tbe season opened. The story has been published to the effect that Mr. Bayard demanded of the President that his daughter should be given the place at the White House reception which her mother would take if she were living. This is pure nonsense, for while the President was a bachelor, he recognized the social ran x of the daughter of the Secretary of State by offering his arm to Mies Catherine Bay er d while all the other ladies of the Cabinet were present. Secretary Bayard will give a breakfast to the diplomatic corr. at 12 o'clock, as has been the custom for many yeare, and at 2 will receive the public at his residence. Secretary and Mrs. Fairchild and Secretary and Mrs. Whitney will also receive. Mr. Vilas will receive the employes of the Postofiice Department at his residence at 2 o'clock, but Mrs. Vilas will not be able to appear. The practice of calling will not be so general as formerly among people of the highest caste, and but few of the fashionables will open their houses. Among these are Mrs . Senator Sherman, who will have a number of wives of other Senators to assist her; Mrs. Stockbridge, the wife of the Senator from Michigan, who will also have several Senatorial ladies in her parlors, and the wife of Senator Davis, of Minnesota, who will receive her friends and admirers for the first time, AT THE WHITE HOCBE. The new year came in with a bright and beautiful day in Washington. Thesau shone warmly in an almost cloudless sky, and with the exception of ice covered sidewalks in the city, which made walking difficult, the day was all that could be desired. The White House was the main point of interest to the official world and the public to day.Long before the beginning of the President's annual reception the great gates .long the Pennsylvania avenue entrances to the grounds were surrounded by people who gazed with curiosity at the brilliantly costumed throng of diplomats and officers as it filed through the executive mansion. Tne interior was tastefully but not lavishly decorated with potted plants, flowers and vines. All of the shades were drawn and the gas burned brightly in the crystal chandeliers, which were festooned with smllax and other graceful vines. The vestibule wa3 almost filled by the scarlet coated Marine Band, which.under the direction of Prof. Saussa, discoursed pleasing music as the ceremonies progressed. A few minutes after 11 o'clock the band began to play "Hail to the Chief" and the reception party deeoended the stair case and entered the Blue parlor. Marshal Wilson and Lieutenant Duval, U. S. N., led the party, followed by the President and Mrs. Bayard, Secretary Bavard and Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary Fairchild and Mrs. Whitney, Secretary Endicott and Mrs. Fairchild, Postmaster General Vilas and Colonel Lamont. Secretary Whitney oame later and joined the party in the Blue parlor. Marehal Wilson took a position at the west door of the room and introduced the officials and public to the President, who stood at his right band. Lieutenant Duval performed a like service for the officers of the Army and Navy. Mrs. Cleveland stood near to the President and was aetitted by Miss Bayard, Mrs. Fairchild and Mrs. Whitney. The space in the rear of the reception party was filled with persona prominent in Washington official society, among them being Miss Eadicott, Mrs. Lamont, Miss Vilas, Miss Garland, Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs. A. . Stevenson, Mrs. Leo Knott, Mrs. H. 8. Thompson, Mrs. 1'rafcn, Mrs. Colonel Wilson, Mrs. A. A. Wilson, Mies Wilson, Mrs. George Bancroft and Mrs. Stebbins. Mrs. Cleveland wore a princess dress of olive green plush, trained and cut pompadour at the neck. The skirt was gathered full at the waist and the rich train of plush was without a single break. At either side and front were up and down stripes of ecru Etruscan silk lace, the only trimmicg upon the skirt. The same kind of kce was used to edge the square neck, for epaulettes upon the shoulders and down the elbow sleeves, and for caffs turned back at the elbow and down the front of the bodice, on either side of the fastenings. Her rtsht hand was bared, and on her arms" were gold bracelets; in the lace on the side of her corsage was a coil of gold wire; la her left hand was a gray white glove and a closed fan, and in her hair, which was in a Clrtie knot, was arranged a necklace, caught with two diamond stars. Her neck was without ornament, and outlining the waist line was a white silk cord, knotted In front and falling almost to her feet, ending in two tassels. Her slippers were bronze leather, embroidered with bronze leads. Miss Bayard wore a high necked dres3 o! black dotted tulle, short skirted, trimmed with black lace and open V shaped at the neck, veiled with black tulle. There wer rows of whits pearls about her throat and a great bunch of American beauty rosas in her corsage. She held a black fan and wore black gloves. Mrs. Fairchild wore a white toilet of white satin. It was half high in tbe neck. had a train of ivory white brocade, and the front festooned with white gauze over small frills of plaited gauze and lace. She wore a lartje pearl pendant from a - white ribbon that encircled her throat. Mrs. Whitney wore a French dress of antique blue brocade, with rows of silver embroidery ttpon the folding panels. The 'run was lull and plain. Ihe corsage was V ohsped, drped with silver bangled tulle, nd at. the point she wore an immense iiamobd star. In her ears she wore soliaires. 1 HE RECEPTION BEGINS. When the nartv bad taken qd its n.viition hid exchanged greetings with the members of tbe cabtoet, tbe diplomatic cois w8 received. All of the foreign ministers were present except tbe repre sentatives from Portugal and Italy. Senor Preston, of llavtf, tne dean of the corps, led the party, whic j made a' brilliant pic

ture in the lavishly embroidered diplomatic costumes. The Chinese Minister. his suite, clad in richly decorated silk v rI' ental garb, attracted much attention. Th. Supreme Court next paid its respects to

we president, an the members being present. It was followed by Judges of the Court of Claims and the members of the District Judiciary. Then came the Senators and Representatives in Congress with their ladies, rather more in number than is usual upon New Year's day. Speaker Carlisle did not enter with the members of the House, but came nearly hall an hour later. The officers of the Army and Navy who had assembled at their respective departments reached the doorway just as the last of the Rspressutatives passed through the Blue room. Lieu" tenant-General Phil Sheridan headed the army officers, while Rear Admiral Joaett led the naval contingent. All of the officers in Washington, active and retired, were in line, making a pretty picture with their dark blue uniforms, gilt epaulettes and side arms.

A notable break in the programme at this point was the non-appearance of the Associated Sjldiers of the war of 1S12. Last year they nam bered but six, bat to-day not one male his appearance. The Grand Army of ths Repuolic, with a large number of members and tbe Oldest Inhabitants Afccociation of the District of Columbia, were the lea organized bodies to exchange greetings with the Presidential party, and it was half past 12 before the Western gate was thrown open and the general public admitted. Although the people were present In large numbers, the crowd was hardly eiaal to tho39 of previous year, presumably for the reason that niort of the citizens have been able to gratify their desire to meet the President at bis weekly receptions daring the fall and winter. The reception terminated at 2 o'clock, havicg passed off successfully in every particular and without aa untoward incident. THE LATONIA RACES. A Denial that St. Louis lias Given More for Kaclufr. Purposes than Cincinnati. Cibcinkati, January 2. The Lat.nia Jockey Club officers deny the statement published by the St. Louis Jockey Club to tbe eflect that the latter gives more money than Latonia for racing purposes, and make a compilation from the figures of the Official Turf Guide, which shows that in the past tbree years, which cover the life of the St. Louis Club, the Latonia Club has given $30,0U0 more than St. Louis. It also shows that eacu year Latonia not only gave more racing tnan St. Louis, but added more money to stakes and purses than St. LouiB did, reference being made wholly to running races. The compilation shows that In 1SS3 Latonia gave as added money to stakes and purses $40,700; St. Louis, $42,800. In 18SG Latonia, $51,923; St. Louis, 142,850, of which $ J,000 was in a special race. In 1S87 Latonia gave $37,800; St. Louis, $37,650. Latonia claims that it will keep up this ratio. This year there are thirty-three days of raciDg proposed. The spring meeting begins May 2Üth and continues till Jone 9ih, Sundays excepted. Thus horsemen will be enabled to race continuously, beginning at New Orleans in April, then going to Memphis, Nashville, Lexington, lyonisville and Latonia. After that they can go to Kansas City, Chicago and Minneapolis, or can go East in time for the great Sbeepshead . Bey meeting, which begins June 14. At the fall meeting Latonia proposes to give 100 races in hoaor of the Centennial celebration, and will probably close the meeting about the time of the close of the exposition. The stakes of the Latonia Club for this year, as well as those of tbe spring meetiDgs of 1880 and lS'X), have been announced to close January 15th. The sum of $33,000 is offered in stakes slone. The purses will be accordingly liberal. Tbe club claims the distinction of being the first in the West to offer $-300 purses, and asserts that it will continue to be liberal, especially this year, as its pooling privileges have been sold for over fit),(XX). Intiinidators Jailed. Topeka, January 2. A gang of Lane county Ku-Klux has just been broken up by the arrest of all but one. James Vanderlin, Nelson English and P. S. Galloway were brought to the city by a United States marshal ami lodged in tha county jail. Tfcey, with five others, u charged with a conspiracy to intimidate a homesteader named Hoover, with a view to forcing him to abandon his claim for the supposed purpose of one of their number jumping it. The oiber five gave bond for their appearance to answer indictment in tbe United States District Court, and these parties not being able to give bond, they will be confined to iail until the sitting of the next term of court. It seems that, one night several months ago, these defendants, who were masked, entered the house of a settler named Hoover, near Dighton, carrying with them a bucket of tar and feathers. They Eet upon Hoover and beat and kicked him unmercifully. An attempt was made to tar and feather him, but he fought deeperately, and the tar wastscattered over the room and farniture. "Mrs. Hoover came to her husband's assistance, and, with a heavy wooden chair, felled three of the attacking party. In the Bcrimmage the masks were torn off, disclosing the identity of the parties, who then retreated. Not long after this occurrence the humble dwelling of the Hoovers was bet on fire one night and burned to the ground, leaving the family homeless oa ihe prairie. The matter was presented to District Attorney Perry, who brought it before the grand jury. Indictments were returned against the parties, and warrants wtre issued for their arrest.
