News. Washington. March 23. The rush for sfHce continues, and tbe number of callIts on the president today showed no falling otT as compared with previous days, natore and representatives formed the bu.k of the visitors, but their missions were mostly in connection with local otl:ces. Hut H'.tle was eaid to the president concerning his noted roles. They have come to be so well understood that few points in regard to them remain to be cleared up. The no-reaj pointment rule is, of course, the principal one, and in it the greatest interest is manifested. From what Mr. Cleveland haa eaid. it ia underItood not to apply in certain cases, as follows: 1. To thesa who have no opposition for reippoiutmeut. 2. fo thuse candidites for postmastershirs who have opposition, but are indorsed almost uuinirnsusly by citizens of their o ty r town. 3.

This exception has not yet tea clearly deüned, but it is, perLapn. not ho hroad in its provisions as tome candidates tuppose. Mr. Hinerichpen, the secretary of state ot Illinois, ha-i spoken to the president about it aud his understanding was that appointment to a position other than tormeriy held by applicant was open to the latter through the usual channels of iniluttnc and timeis. To a geutlemau who saw hirn today, with reference to the reappointment of two former ofilceho.ders who are indorsed almost unanimous, y by their congressional delegation and by a law number of prominent people, Mr. Cleveland intimated that if he made the appointments desired he would do to without the understanding that the people of the community would asume the responsibility of his action.

By a practically unanimous Tote the repcblicau caucus baa decided to reject all oilers of coaiproraiso aud contest the proposed democratic reorganization of the e cctivu ei!u era of the senate to the end. The caucus wa largely attended, but was ot short duration. Naturally there was a divia. or cf sentiment as to what was best to be done under the circumtitances, bat those in favor of contesting the proposed organization wer largely ia the majority.

There was a small attendance of senators and only a few people in the galleries of the senate at the time of openinz today, but the number of people in the corridors ttas about as large as as usual. Mr. Allen, ex-senator from Washington, and now awaitinar decision of the senate upon the questions growinz out of his appointment by the governor of that state, was upon the floor conferrine with the members relative to his ca?e. Mr. Call ortered a resolution in regard to the commission to inquire into the several executive departments of the government, which had been the subject of discussion in yesterday's cession. The resolution declared that the provision of tho appropriation act providing for the appointment of three senators and three repressntativesof the Fiftv-third congress by the presiding etiicers of tho two houses in the Fifty-second congress as such commission is in derogation of tho. constitutional rijthU, privileges and prerogatives of each house, is otherwise violative of the constitution and is absolutely null and void. Mr. Gorman suggested the reference of the resolution to the committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Call aaid that he preferred to have the resolution printed and laid on the table, aa ha wished to make some observations upon it. It might theo be referred to the committee on privileges and elections. That order waa made and then the senate preceded to executive business. After spending about three-quarters of an hour in executive session the senate adjourned till Monday. PROF. DODGE'S RETIREMENT. Correspondence Between Himself and 5ec. retary Jlorton. Prof. Dodga eaid today that statements had been made relative to his official retirement aa statistician of the department of agriculture unjust alike te himself and to Secretary Morton. He says it has been well known to his friends for a long time that he intended to retire as early aa practicable. He gives the following correspondence, dated March 20: Id accordance with a cherished desire to terminate my long aud exacting service as statistician, and curry out my plans for more efree.ioie work ia agricultural literature, 1 hereby tender my resignation, to take etiect on the appointment of my successor, wishing you sreat success in the conduct of a department which Las a constituency and interests second to those of no othir ic the goreruiudut. To this Secretary Morton replied as follows: 1 am in receipt cf yonr communication tenderiug your resittuuiion of the position of chief statistician in the department ot Agriculture ai.d note with satisfaction your intent:ou, as expressed thereiu, of saieriiig upon more agreeobis woik in agricultural literature. Tho literature of agriculture embraces ail the relations of capital and Ubor and touches every economic q-ustioi:. You hava a wide field of exploration before you. And, utter your lonir serv.es iu a poaition iatimatelj concealed with the farming interests of this country, joa must ho pcuuliurly well equipped for that line of labor. Certainly no rimo iu the United Stales will l better able to demonstrate the economic truth that the relation of supply to demand is the sole regulator of value, whether the commodity Le soap, salt or silver. With the h:gliet tegards for your penocal character aud the b-st wishes for your success ia the proiiiutgr&liou of orthodox agriculture and economic tenets, I accept year resignation. THE TARIFF BILL. Secretary CarlMo "Will Not Trepare One, But Will Give Adv'cr. Secretary Carlisle, it is stated on good authority, in no sense intends to prepare a tariff bill in detail tobe submitted to the ways and means committee of the next house, but rather to be in a position to give them all the assistance and information tbey may need in the preparation of a tariff" bill that will carry out in its word and intent the spirit of the tarill plank of the democratic platform. The general outlook of the New York reform tariff proposition corresponds closely to a proposition submitted in 1SSÖ by Edward Atkinson of Boston to President Cleveland and Secretary Manning. That proposition divided the tarill as follows: A Articles of food and animals. B Articles in a crude condition which enter into tho various processes of duuiektic industry. C Articles wholly or partially mtnufnetured for nie hi materials in the manufactures and mechanic arts, I) Articles manufactured ready for consumption. E An cles of voluntary use, luxuries, eto. Since that time the annual report of the bureau of statistics has contained n table thowi.iK the duty co.lecta I on each of thuse ciatises of articles. From the report oi lo'.2 it appears that l7o,U'J7.G7d duty was collected, of which JlOlO'J.'.'-'Li was collected nnder class A, $14.01:1, IJS under class IS, ."..V.M 8,412 underclass C. $7t,S27.H)S under class V, and 4'J,70',7,v'ü under class K. MR. PATTERSON NOT WANTED. Secretary Carlisle Itt-qnests His ItesSgna. tion mm Uemocrats Olijret. Secretary Carlisle has requested the resignation of J. N. Patterson, second auditor of the treasury department o far he has declined to resign. The secretary has accepted the resignation of W. D. Owen aa superintendent of immigration. Secretary Carlisle has accepted tne resignation of F. M. Hughes of Tennessee, chief of the loan division of the register's office, treasury department. Mr. Hughes was at first recorded as "Dismisst-d for cause." I5ut he was subsequently permitted to resign. This i the lirst cfianjro made by Secretary Carlisle amon this class of officials, and it brought down on him this morning; several of the democratic members of the Tennessee congressional delegation who ased for his retention. Secretary Carlisle was eomewhat surprised at lh request for Mr. Hughes' retention coming from this source in view of the fact that Mr. Hughes was a delegate to the republican convention at Minneapolis. He declined to reconsider his action in the matter. International Monetary Mstters. Ail the delegates to the recent international monetary conference have resigned. Among members of congress it is believed that the president will send a commission to Urussela to represent this country when the conference reassembles. The secretary of state is now endeavoring to ancertain how many countries will be reprosented at the reassembling of the conference. Some officials hold to tho opinion that President Cleveland will not send another delegation to Bruseels.but will designate our minister to Belgium to attend the conference as ' representative of the Veiled Stales.

FATAL FIRE AT CLEVELAND.

FOUR WOMEN AND A BABY TO DEATH BURNED And Others Injured in tne Destruction of the Apartment House Morgan The Huild. inj So Constructed ata Afford Good Fuel for the I lauics. Cleveland, March 23. Shortly before 12 o'clock today fire broke out in the Morgan, a fashionable apartment bouse on Prespect-st.. near Granger. The engines responded quickly, but before they arrived the building was enveloped in flames and einoke, and a terrible panic eneued. Four women and a baby burned to death, and several more were more or less sufTocated in the smoke. The house was a handsome one of threo stories. A central hall runs through the building with the rooms on either side. The only escape waa by way of the front itaira. Those in tne third story had no time to gather their goods together, and before they were aware of any Are they were surrounded with emoke and flames. The scene waa a terrible one and the excitement and consternation of those in eatety, who were able to aid the su treating women, was great. The firemen worked heroically. A second alarm was given and every effort made to rescue those still in the burning building. The loss of life was among the most terrible in the annals of Cleveland fires. The body of the first woman found was that of Mrs. Soraers. a blind lad)7, who had groped her way to the etairs, only to die. Threo other women, with the little child, whose names have not yet been learned, were all found lying on the floor of the second etory, front hail, dead, suffocated by the smoke. Their bodies were huddled together, but it was evident from tLeir positions that tbey died without pain. The firo ftarted, do one knows how, in the basement, and the building i3 a total loss. The names of the dead are as follows: Mrs. MARY F, ABBEY, widow of Judgs Abbey, seed seventy-five. lite. bOMCili, a blind woman, aged fortyTMrs. JESSIE HUNT, wife of A.C. Hunt, aged twenty-one, who wa visiting her mother, ilrs. Joiners. ri:UCY HUNT, dauchter of Mrs. Hunt, aged one year. Mrs. F. G. SOMT.RS, seventy years, step mother-in-law of .Mrs. tuima Somers. The injured are: Mrs. E. T. GiFi onn and Mrs. J. II Miller, who were l aclly bruised by jumping from secoud story window. It seems inconceivable that a fire at such a time aud place could have been attended ty anv loss of life. The Morgan was eo constructed that the fire had a clean sweep. Kach floor had a long hall extending through from front to rear, with a single stairway leading from floor to floor. The lire started in the basement and it swept up through tho halls, cutting od all means of ecnpe. Tbewccien who perished ran to the window, but before anything could be dono to asMdt tliem they were driven back by tho smoke and flames and perished. Thoao on the lower floors rushed to the street, and one woman besides Mrs. Miller jumped from a gecond-etory window, he waa Mr. K. T. UiiJ".rd and- she was caught in ft rubber coat held by two of the spectators and escaped without injury, lhe dead bodies wera found on the third floor. The corpses were burned to a crisp and were horridly blackened and didligured. As quickly as possible the bodies were taken to the morgue and thero it was learned that five instead of three women had ioi-t their lives. The two upper lloorä of the building are gutted and the contents of the house are ruined. The Morgaa is owned by W. .1. Morgan, the lithographer. It cost $30,000 and was insured. The contents were owned by Mrs. H. M. Ilnnna. leased to the Misses McFadden. who kept the place. Mrs. Hanna estimates her loaa at $12,000 with no insurance. ANOTHER BOODLER CORRALLED. Enoch Mow Found. Guilty of Krlbery at the Presidential Llection. rLYMCUTjT,March23. Fpecial. Enoch Mow, a republican politician of prominence in this county, was today found guilty in the Marshall county circuit court of the bribery of voters at the last .November election. After an ell night's deliberation the jury returned a verdict of guilty, fixing his punishment at ?25 line, ten days' imprisonment in the county jail and disfranchisement for ten years. The case has attracted considerable attention throughout the northern part of thia stete. This is the f;r-t conviction under the now Aubtrahan law. Htate Attorney S.N.

LEGISLATIVE REFORM.

A Question of Opportunities The fio dncttve Methods of the Lobby. To the Editor Sir: Your freqaent allusions to the acts of the legislature of 18S3 in comparison with the work cf that of 1893 are not doing justice to the latter. In point of ability and zeal for accomplishing good, the two bodies, iu my opinion, wero on an equality, but taking opportunity into consideration the legislature of 1SS9 enjoyed a decided advantage over the one of 1.SU3. Wars make heroes and opportunities patriots. But for tne late civil war and its attendant results Grant would have lived And died in obscurity at Galena. Time and opportunity were unfavorable for the legislature of to attain historical fame. Aside from the attack by our opponents on the new tax law, we were practically without any great etate isnue, the national issue of tariff reform ove'thado wiug all elec. Unlaws the people are smarting under a system of deep-seated wrongs and abuses the opportunity for reform legislation of an extraordinary character does not exist. British oppression and an intense, righteous craving for liberty in the hearts of the colonists caused the American revolution an opportunity making hundreds of men illustrious. The widespread and appalling debauchery of the popular suffrage in '88 raised the vehement cry of ballot reform throughout the land. A few weeks after that memorable election, cd in the midst of a universal wail and irreeistible demand for more stringent laws for the protecticn and purification of the ballot the legislature of M) met. What a grand opportunity for that body to cover itself with fame and glory! An equally blessed law enacted by the legislature of 'b0 was the Bchool-book law a work begun by its predecessor of '87. The writer and liepresentative Pleasants agreeing upon a measure, offered the same simultaneously in our respective bodies. Next to the protracted and bitterly fought Turpie-Harrison senatorial contest, the school-text-book bill was the paramount measure of that session. And, despite the apparent timidity of members in supporting a bill involving a radical change in our publio school system, and despite the poisonous influence of a powerful and aggressive lobby representing the various publishing houses in the country, Mr. 1'leasanta succeeded in pushing the bill to engrossment in the house, whilst the writer crowdoi it one etep higher in the senate for final passagebut the republican senators refusing to voto, the bill failed to psss for the want of a constitutional majority. It was not a defeat of the great reiorin measure, but a postponement only. The great work was' begun, public nentiment aroused, and it remained for the legislature of lbS'.) to finish it, affording another opportunity for that body to ingraft it numa into the hearts of a grateful people. I am in full accord with you in yonr just condemnation of the cotirso of the late legislature in tolerating a surging and deiiant swarm of lobbyists to infest the capitol. If allowed free scope theso wily emissaries of corporate interests soon pprmeate with their corrupt breath the atmosphere of the capitol to the do re, dazing the conscience of all comirg in contact with them. They endeaver to capture the entire legislative outfit, from the presiding ollicial down to the humbest employe. Gradually, but slowly, they weave a misty net around tho vision of the unsophisticated legislator, impairing his eiht in distinguishing between riht and wrons:. lieport era and stenographers are special objects of adoration i to the professional lobbyist. Speeches obnoxious to corporate power are misquoted or perverted, or suppressed entirely. The stenographer purporting lo have been employed by the legislature of '87 wilifuily omitted a speech in the brevier reports delivered by tho writer in support of his motion to adopt the minority report signed by Senator Howard (now justice of the supreme court) recommending the pagnaga of the then pending echool-book bill. Yet this rame stenographer dares to ask the people of the state of Indiana to pay him fl. '5,000 for suppressing the truth in the interest of monopolistic creed. But what of the future? Our adversaries are a ready gatherinz with gleeful breasts planning for ,(J4 building air Castles. The democracy of Indiana has nothing to fear so long as the custodianship of the state institutions is placed in the hands of honest, pure and patriotic men. The ellect'of the work of the late legislature, if not altogether beneficent, will certainly prove harmless. By the time we ehall have to meet our oldtime foe aai:i Cleveland's business administration will shine forth a tower of strengh to the democracy and congress will have redeemed the party's pledge in matcrally reducing existing federal burdens. In the meantime lot U9 cease internal hoHtiiitL-e, stop the family light. This is a most critical and trying time for tiie democracy, pending the distribution of the federal olhces, naturally cauiing disappointment and heartaches right and left. Let us be less severo and exacting and more moderate and tolerant. Prom now on and henceforth 1st the democracy in every county of the commonwealth cast about for "leitielative . candidates with a view of choosing men of ability and integrity, men who can not be swayed from the plain path of public duty, and to whom the allurements of the seductive lobbyist have no temptation. Let us unitedly and faithfully continue in our advocacy of "economy and retrenchment in every department, national, state and local." Under it we have triumphed and with it we ehall be victorious again. V. Zimmerman". Rochester, March 20, 1803. AN IOWA TRAGEDY. A JHner Lynched After Killing Ills Wife And Her Sister. Des Moines, Ia., March 22. A brutal tragedy wai committed at Hileraan, a mining ton in Monroe county, today. William Frazier, a miner whose wife left bim a few days on account of bis drunkenness, went' to where she was staying, killed her and her sister, Mrs. raitb, who ran to Mrs. Frazier'a assistance. Mrs. Frazier had a knife run through her, and died at once. Mrs. Smith ran into the room where she heard the screaming and was instantly stabbed, dying in a few minutes. The brute then made an attack on his child mutilating it. As soon as the tragedv became known public indignation was aroused and Frazier was lynched by an angry mob. Great excitement prevails in the mining town, bat no further trouble is feared. ' AVhnt Is TuwMng Them.

THE PENITENTIARY FIRE.

jefferscnville visited BY a BIS CONFLAGRATION. The Loss Will Foot op JlSO.OOO The Flames Itage For an Hour LouUville Sends Asiatanre Convict Snfrly Kept Within the Prison Walls No Attempts to Escape Made The Saddletree and Other Shops Totally Destroyed Rebuilding to Commence Immediately. jErrrnsoxTTLLE, March 23 Special." Fire broke out in the eaddle-tree shop in the indiana state prison South at Jeffcrsonville shortly after 11 o'clock this morning and for a time the entire prison was threatened with destruction. The origin of the fire was from an overheated furnace used in drying material for the manufacture of eaddlt; trees. The building is an old structure built of brick and wood about thirty feet in width and nearly 200 feet lonj:. The two stores were filled with inflammable material, euch as dry wood 6havings and paints, and the flames spread rapidly. The fire was not discovered for some time, and owing to the delay the flames gained much head war. The fire service in the prison is cot very extensive, and owing to the late start was inadequate to cope with the flames. The fire service of the Ohio Fails car company, which is situated immediately opposite the prison, waa brought into requisition, and the fire department in JefTersonville was called, but by the time this assistance arrived the fire bad the entire saddle-tree'shop in its embrace. The firemen directed their efforts toward saving the new dining-room building, which is an equally large structure, but this too was soon in me. The eaddle-tree shop is operated by M. C'aegett of Louisville, who employes 159 convicts. The convicts gave ready assistance to the firemen. The fl&ries spread to the new cell bouse in the southern end of the building. This structure is built of brick, stone and iron, but the heat was so intense that the interior caught fire within a half hour, and the prison officials at once arranged to move ail of the furniture, books and papers from the principal office of the prison, which is located at the west end of the structure. The cell house in practically unoccupied in day time, being used only as a sleeping room. At 11 'Ao the fire bad macd such beadway that the Louisville fire department was called upon for assistance, and Chief Hughes sent over two firo engines. The No. 0 was the firit to arrive. The No. 7 soon followed. There are over G00 convicts in the prieon and the exciterr ent among tho officers and convicts was intense. Work in a'l of the other shops w:ts suspended and the warden and lits essis'auts took every precaution to prevents panic and provide against an outbreak. Extra guards were placed on duty to prevent escapes. Thousands of people from Jeffersonvilie and the town of Ohio Falls, where the prison is located, gathered around the closed doors, but were refused admission. By 12 o'clock the fire had completely destroyed the two diningrooms used by the convict-, and &ho the kitchen where dinner was being prepared. Big flames issued Irom the interior of the new cell house, all of the woodwork having caueht fire where exposed to the heat from tiie saddle-tree shop. Other email shops in the vicinity of the dining room caught lire, and for a time the entire prison seemel doomed to destruction. The Ix)uisville fire companies materially aided tho local fire department in keeping the flames checked. Warden Fatten was in Louisville when he heard of the lire and hastened over to direct his assistants. A still breeze was blowing at the time, and it seemed for a time that the entire plant was doomed. One of the small buildings destroyed was the tailor shop, where all of the convict apparal and bed clothing are made. Tne loss on this is considerable, but the warden could not estimate the loss at once. At 12:40 the fire was under control, and the excitement which provaiied during the progress of the flames had abated. The convicts as a rule assisted the guards in maintaining order and helped the firemen, but some of them looked on with iudi Here nee. There were no attemps to eBCape, however. The JetTersonville prison hag suffered from fire frequently before. The old prison was entirely destroyed about forty yeara ago. During Warden Schuler'a administration in 1870 another big fire occurred, and during Warden Howard's administration, ten years ago, two large fires occurred. The former outbreak occurred at night. Had today's fire started in tho night time it id likely the entire prison would have been destroyed. After the fire had been fully subdued at 1 o'clock, Warden Fatten made a hadty estimate of the loss. He said the total loes to the Claggett eaddle-tree company and to the state ot Indiana would not be more than $.SO,000 both by fire and water. The loss to the Claggett company is f 10.000 on their stock and machinery, and the loss to the state on the build. ng ocCipied by them is $-'0.000. The state carried no insurance, but the policies of the contractors amount to $25,000. Only the wads remain standing and they are ia such bad condition that they will have to be torn down. The new cell honse, erected enly a few years ago at a cost of $6o,000, was scorched and the walls so badly damaged it will cost at least $10,000 to repair it. Upon the tailor shop, which was a fine new building sixty feet long, thirty-five in width and two stories in bight, the loss will be 50,000. Then the dininz-room and the carpenter sboD over it were damaged to the extent of $',000 more, making a total of $78,000. In fact the entire northeast section of the prison was swept away, and the loss would certainly have been much greater had not Maj. Hughes been 'there to direct the roovementsof the convict firemen. As it was the latter worked gallantly and no place wan too dangerous for them to enter.

Warden Fatten put on an extra force of guards, who, with pistoli in their hind 3, marched od and down outside of the ruined wails ready to shoot down any convict who makes ft break for liberty. The prisoners will bo placed in the two cell nouses, which were cot touched by the fire. t Work on the new buildings for the state will be begun at once, ard the contract work in the prison wil only be shut down for a couple of months. THE SHERIFFS IN SESSION.

A Protect Against tho Fee and Salary Law. A hilf hundred county official! had a meeting at the Grand hotel Thursday afternoon, and eucb. one of them denounced the fee and salary law. That's what they met for, and the purposes of the meeting, were carried out. They came from all parts of the state. Forty counties were represented, and those present represented the feeling of those abeent in regard to the fee and salary law. They all think the law aa outrage upori them, and they believe it to be unconstitutional. 'Their belief in this direction is so thorough that at their meeting yesterday afternoon a committee waa appointed to employ attorneys to test the constitutionality of the law. "I can't run' my office and live under this fee and salary law," said a sheriff last evening. My salary is $2,200 a year. I am allowed no per diem or mileage for conveying prisoners from one place to another, or for conveying insane persons to the hoipitala. I cannot pay the expenses of my otfice and get a decent compensation out of it for my own time and work. The first Quarter of my term I collected but $08 and my expenses were $o00. That's another hardship on ns. i ou see we cannot even get our ealary until we collect money enough into the office to pay it."

They eay attorneys will be employed within a very short time, who will at 0&CI i begin proceedings to test the law. Ex-Governor Foraker In Town. Ex-Governor Joseph B. Foraker of Ohl o was in the city Thursday. He w -rived in tho morning,' attended to sort e business in the federal court, lunched i it the Columbia club with C. W. Fairbanl ;s and at 3 o'clock left for Cincinnati. Tl io fiery ex-governor says be ia out of politi cs for a while and is attending strictly to a ia law practice which occupies all the tin ie he can give it. While be talks that wi ty it is well known that he only awaits r ur opportunity to again enter politics as de p an ever. His retirement temporarily is due to his defeat for the U. t1. senate a little more than a year ago. Want u Consulship. Charles Zuckriejrel, a prominent G( irman citizen of liockport, is a Candida te for a consular appointment abroad. MR. BURKE'S APPOINTMENT. The appointment will be satisfactory to a portion of the democrats of the Etate , Muncie Herald (ilem.). Tho nomination of Frank B. Burke for U. S. district attorney is not & happy sei ic tion. He rear be a good lawyer, but he has no modest way of showing it. 1 he district attorney for Indiana should be i a man in whom the people have itnpl: iClt confidence. Loya n.v ort J'haro. ihm.). The more a man does the less he g it?. At leapt, this teems to be the rule j ast now. John W. Kern did as much and as effective work for Cleveland as any rr .an in Indiana, roaring speeches from i Jie beginning to the end, often twice a d sy, and paying his own expenses. Hut p litica is politics. Let us wait and see w bat the next act in the dtama will be. Eve naville Courier (dem.). That the geographical situation 1 was against Mr. Kern, was understood in adVance. But it was hoped and belie ved that his cplendid personality. Lis it disputed popularity with the mases and his magnificent eervicea to the party da ring the past twenty yeara, would overo ome all objections in this score. It is then lore lamentable that he is Eaid to bo defa ated by a man whose record is thorouj rhly against him and who is openlv denoui iced by the metropolitan prees of the staf :e. Kokomo Difyakh. dem.). It seemed only fair and natural ' that, other things being equal, the men who stood by Mr. Cleveland when then i was danger of his losing the vote of Ini liana in tne national convention should b 3 the first to be recognized by his admin istration. But there are mystorious thini s in politics not easily fathomed. Folic wing so soon upon the appointment of Uovi srnor Gray, the eelection of Mr. Frank B. I lurke for district attorney and Mr. Hawki ns as U. S. marshal seems to be a wara' ng to the democracy of Indiana that tb original Cleveland men must get their i consolation from his nomination and el action alone. lu'ansvl'le Courier (clem.). John Ilussell Young on Clevelaa d. X. V. Herald As the administration goes, to ere 5s much to be commended. The wh eebflof government move with smoothness, under the practical touch of an old hand . The daily ukase from Washington is if deresting, This is not to bo a caraohorat jd administration. The president will I not dig out from the camphor chest the ret nnanta and misfits of four years ago. Thi re will be nothing musty, mildewed cr motheaten. Bather a breezy freshnoa s men with color in their cheeks and i snap in their muscles. Those who voted I or Mr, Cleveland under the impressia n that Washington was to become a snug harbor for weather-beaten political salts w ill hire a revelation. The country will I tpprove of this, and from a party sense it may even be profound politics. A etrong minded, resolute. In iperious man, with his head among the stars, as. might well result from a career f o memorable ; a glutton in work, seriot ns, plodding, inexorable, sitting up until 2 in tne morning to read the papers in a murder case, as he is reported doing on Wednesday last, and remanding the mu rderer to a just doom something of the n lysticism of Cromwell in those oracular u tterances about "duty" but with a direct 'plunging, woodchopper energy in bis wori :, there is everything to interest us in the restored president and a great deal to ads aire. He is R man to make a etrange dr earn come true. To hia own parly he is a J iroblem to republicans a phenomenon.
