PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLA NTA. Gt DECEMBER 15, 1893.
CHESTNUT GROVE.
' One of our Jewish friends once
called on Mr. Claflin in New York
concerning his old partner in Cincin-
, nati who owed Mr. C. a considerable
bill.
“You know our friend Gundlefin
- ger? Well”—(significantly tapping
his forehead—“he is grazy! ”
“Yes,” growled the merchant,
p “I’ve been there! How much is it?
What can he pay?”
“Oh, surely, honestly, Mr. Claflin,
de man has loss his mind—he is
“Os course! I understand; but
how much is it? Can he pay 75
' percent?”
“Moly smoko ! no; ho is net dat
: grazy! ”

Col. Wat Harding, of Kentucky,
was recently asked if he did notre
r; ird a certain fellow here in Wash
ington who had dealt most villain
ously with him as the most pluper
fect unmitigated scoundrel he ever
, knew. The colonel studied the ques
tion with thoughtful gravity a mo
ment, and then loyally remembering
another rogue out West of even
meaner proclivities, finally decided.
“No; I’m committed to a fellow
out in Ohio.”
** * *
Even our venerable senior Sena
, tor from .Massachusetts is not averse
to making remarks occasionally.
Showing a friend from Boston
around the Capitol one day, the Ben
Butler bulling attracted the young
man’s attention.
“And that is Lawyer Butler’s
property?” he asked. “Yes; made
it by ins pratice, 1 suppose?”
“Yes; by his practices,” gently
■ responded the old gentleman.
s* * *
To those who know the almost
, gruff and solemn manner of Senator
' : Proctor, of Vermont, veneering, how
-1 I ever, heaps of quiet fun and a seven
' 1 and seven-eigbtlis heart as tender an
. a 2 i-hiliing shirr, the following little
squib will seem natural enough:
I’residing at a banquet, he called on
Senator William E. Chandler for a
lew remarks, who at once prefaced
'hem by bis surprise that Senator
Proctor should have so kindly noticed
him, for, said he, “A ifiw days ago I
' overheard a gentleman ask him if he
liked Chandler, to which he very
carefully answered, ‘Yes, I like
Chandler, but it’s an acquired taste.’”
♦* * *
One decoration day Rev. Myron
W. Reed returned home in a street
ear, aud an old fellow with just a
comfortable load concealed about his
person proceeded to entertain him
with light and cheerful conversation.
“Say, mister,” he began, “haveyou
been out to the cimitery ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well,” he. continued, “I’ve got. a
son who was killed at, Shiloh and he’s
' hurried out there among the boys,
and d- -n me if I don’t keep that
grave green if I have to paint it!”
, '* * *
Mr. Reed, once addressing a vast
assemblage, referred to a very old
man, just then causing some little
disturbance in the public mind, but,
sr.id he, encouragingly.- “There’s
nothing to fear from an old man
with one foot in the grave and the
other on a banana peel.”
At sea a worried father suddenly
, left lis wife and children at the table
; and fell headlong up stairs, as if fear
. ing that the all-devouring ocean
would ,-T-t away before ho could pav
it full tribute, ami while at the---
painful and familiar devotions the
nurse came along and asked if the
children had come up yet: “No,”
he groaned, “but everything else has!”
«* * *
I once asked my old darky the age
of the two boys he left behind him
in old “Iviintuc'u.” Thoughtfully,
he polished his bald, old skull a
moment and then said : “Dere’s one
of ’em big enough to plow and de
udder’s two sizes smaller.”
Speaking of Senator Proctor, 1 had
a peculiar experience with him a
year or so ago when he was Secre
tary of 'War. It was taken “by con
sent” that he was a hard man to
“work,” and that perhaps the best
way to do it was uu ier protection of
a well constructed, unshakable “alibi,”
unices, indeed, your business was as
serious and determined as he was.
An ancient comrade of “Battles
.Many” called in to see me, and with
a hag-. i d dice of unutterable misery
lie qmetiy took a chair. He was a
gallant .soldier and a splendid look
ing fellow, not so young as he was
in days of glory- none of us are,
' more s the pity—aud for a number
, of years had been a clerk in the "War
! Department, Under pressure I dug
, out of him the fact that he had just
awakened f.’vm a terrible spree, to
i win h he had appended a thumping
I cracker by raiding his neglected
; iffi .- like a Wi tern blizzard, gener-
I ousiy insisting on “cleaning out” the
[ whole- estab - lirnent from cellar to
garret, firing his res ; i/uution in their
| faces, and dep.u ting highly delighted
w th iiimvelf.
“1,u,” .<;id he, quii t : y, sc-rrov. fully.
■ “iiotnin can be d uie; ii’s too late. I
. nay '■ w 11 forever quit. Just, drift
l in on you without a p u po tetc.
I < imnpeuing him to remain al my
i<l , k as, v moments 1 hurried < ver
, t-> the VLir Department to face fir ’
eim what i wouldn’t have dared t-.- i
for mv elt. The drea led minister— |
1 didn’t know mi so well then— wa
promptly seen and the siatementand
- kly n ade. It, must
havo struck the sympathies of the
old warrior, for without a word lie
touched a bell and called for the
chief clerk. When he appeared the
! question war, deliberately rumbled:
t “What about Generf.l So-and-so’s
■ resignation ?”
’ “It was accepted yc.iicrday.”
“Unaccept it then.”
“But the place has been filled.*
1 “Unfill it then ? ”
Only this and nothing more! I
> rose and tried to say, “Thank you,”
’ but the vocal organs wouldn’t work
—1 shook his hand (in italics) and
> started to hurry the, news to the tin
happy face at my desk, but this man
of “stony liaart” walked to the door
-■ with bo and with his arm gently
1 around ray shoulder he said :
“Well, Mac, I suppose we’ve got to
; let the old boys fill t.p occasionally,
but you tell your friend not to do it
again! ”
i A kodak of the general’s face a
few moments later .would have been
priceless to any patent medicine
man in search of a rare and radiant
“before and after taking.”

Did You Kuow It ’
The Outlook.
We note in this connection a rather
extraordinary statement of facts offi
cially reported to us from Washing
ton respecting appropriations for In
dian schools. We can best give these
facts by quoting from the official
i information received;
“You made inquiry as to whether
i contracts had been made with differ
i ent religious bodies. In reply I
; would say that for the year 1893 the
Roman Catholics received $375,8-15;
i for tlie current year they receive
i $365,835. The Presbyterians for
last year, £30,090; this year the
same. The Congregational Church,
825,736; this year, j 8,950. The
Episcopal Chinch last year, $1,860 ;
. this year, $7,020. The Friends last,
' year, $10,020 ; this y :ir the same.
The Meiiiionites last year. $3,750 ;
this year the same. The llnitarians
i last year, £5,400; this the same.
■ The Lutherans, •>15,120; this year
: the same. Miss Howard last year,
$2,500; this year, $3,000. The ap
i propriations for Lincoln and liamp
! ton, of course, being made by Con
' gress, are the panic. The total of
! • contracts for last year was $533,241;
for this year, $802,635. I take it
-1 that these contracts have been made
' with the superintendents of tlie va
rious schools, and not directly with
the religious societies.”
We hope that this does not indi
cate that while the ecclesiastical bod
ies officially lyive refused to receive
aid from the Government for Indian
i schools, they are unofficially contin
uing to receive that aid through
subordinates. We believe that the
, Roman Catholic Church is the only
one which has not officially disa
vowed the connection between
Church aud State involved in the
i maintenance of what aw known as
contract school,. On this subject
wa arc permitted to publish the fol
lowing letter from Cardinal Gibbons
to Air. Herb.-rt Welsh. We do not
believe that the unprejudiced reader
will think that Cardimil Gibbons suc
ceeds in reconciling th ' acceptance
of public moneys foi Catholic schools
with his previous published declara
tion against the granting of Govern
ment subsidies to churches:

J/r. Herbert Welsh:
Dear Sir—Your esteemed favors
of Nobember 7 and 1 are received
and your inquiry noted. In reply 1
would bog to say that the point in
question constitutes a particular ease,
and while the words of mine to
which you refer still hold, tlie Indian
education under tho ontract system
I consider also still accessary. As
you say, “it was in its day aneees-hy
and acoomplished much good.” Ido
not think the day is yet spent. It
does not indicate a permanent state
or condition ; it will not survive the
settlement of the Indian question.
Hence the good which it has accom
plished it can etill accomplish. And
therefore I see no reason to discon
tinue the contracts which the Gov
ernment enters into with the religious
bodies for the education of Indian
children.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
J. Card. Guidons.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-v. The report of
William K. Ackerman, audjtor of J
the World’s Columbian Exposition, I
was officially sent to the Board of '
Directors today. That the Exposi- i
tion was a financial str-cess is > roven
by the figures of the report. It I
shows, by making an approximate
estimate of the liabilities and re
ceipts up to November 12, that the
net assets over and ajovc all liabili
ties amount to The at
erago daily receipts were S ‘9,501,
while the daily - e-penses were
$22,-101.
The total expenditures $25,540,-
537. The gate receipts were Mii,-
626,330, and £3,69:,581 was re
ceived from coucessi is. Adding to
tills the capital st’ck of $5604,171
and the city of Chicago's $5,000,000
in bonds, the total r< ; :ipls are given
as $28,151,168. The balance, as
shown by the auditor, is 82,610,530,
but from this amount are di ducted
such obligations as are in right, but
not included as any nart of the ex
■ peiiditures up to Oct :mr 31. The o
I obligations, which arc for aalraries,
j premiums, recoin., u of souvenir
coins, ottioe expenses, etc., make a
total of $748,147.82. This amount
being deducted from the $2,610,630,
leaves the total net assets $1,862,-

The Cost of an Ex-President’s
Manuscript.
As an illustration of the money
paid to writers as soon as they ac
quire a reputation, the September
Cosmopolitan contains less than
eight thousand words, for which the
sum of $1,666 was paid. Ex-Prcsi
dent Harrison, Mark Twain aud Wil
ham Dean Howells are the three ,
whose, work commands such a price. J
The September number lias more '
than one hundred illustrations,giving
the chief points of interest in the
Columbian Exposition, and the Fair
is treated by more than a dozen au
thors, including the famous English
novelist, Walter Bcs-ant; the Midway
Plaisance, by Julian Hawthorne;
Electricity: by Murat Halstead; the
Liberal Arts Building, by Kunz, the
famous gem expert of Tiffany &
Company ; the .1 lepartment of Mines
by the chief of that department,
etc., etc. A feature of this number
is a story by Mark Twain, entitled
‘ls He Living or Is He Dead?”
“Az:
Revolution Affecting Readers
Throughout the World.
A subject which has received
much discussion in ail parts of the
country during the past month has
been the possibility of the Cosmo- ,
politarie: succeeding in its new move
of selling the magazine, unchanged
in size and even bettered in quality
at the price of 121 cents, instead of
25 cents, as formerly. The August
Cosmopolitan, for instance, was
illustrated by a long list of famous
artists, including Hochcgrosse, Ham
ilton Gibson, Guillonnet, Kemble-
Schwabe, Saunier, Goodhue,
Meaulle, Alice Barber Stephens, and
the late Wilson de Meza. The pub
lishers in part explain how it is
possible to keep up a pace of this
kind by their announcement that the
Christmas edition will exceed 200,-
000 copies, and that, in consequence
of these large editions, they arc
obliged to raise the advertising rates
from S2OO to S3OO per page—sso
per page more than has ever been •
: charged by any of the leading maga- '
| zines in this county. This move of
I the Cosmopolitan would look as if ,
i the American people had been quick
[ to appreciate the effort to furnish -
them a magazine of the highest 1
class, at a price so unusual and so :
amall as to be almost nominal. ,
