THURSDAY MARCH 26 UM
Govemlb McDaxiil undtik party
will return borne full of pleasant
reooliectiona of their New Orleans
trip.
The cotton exchanges of the world
are trying to make ••margins” on the
war cloud in Europe, Africa and Asia.
Os course someone will have to suff r
by the ups and downs of the *‘mt>r
ket”—that is to say of the bets, for
or against.
Barhios, the South American usur
per, is moving well along up to date,
notwithstanding Mr. Edmunds reso
lution in the senate the otbsr day.
When last heard from he had 16,000
men and were advancing on San
Salvador. But Barrios should be
cautious. He will soon be knee deep
In hot ashes, and ail the idle vagA
bond greasers io all that "narrow
neck of land” will not be able to re
lieve them Uncle Sam claims some
rights out that way, and when be
makes a claim to territorial rights,
the deeds might as well be made out,
signed, sealed and delivered.
Thb press association reporter is a
thoughtful mao. Indeed we scarcely
know anybody outside of the circle
of Job’s comforters who would have
thought to tell General Grant and
his family, and the country at large
by wire that some old gentleman,
perhaps about General Grant’s age,
had been discovered up in Michigan,
who bad just died of cancer, in the
mouth, identical In character with
that which is now consuming the life
of General Grant. The enterprising
reporter goes so far as to inform all
concerned, and the curious pubith,
that several surgical operations had
failed to remove the disease. Os
course after this the distingulghed
patient, whose every breath Is
watched by anxious friends, will not
rest easier on his pillow by night, oi
work happier in bis bolstered chtir
by day.
Standing / dvertisementa
Concerning what, are known ae
"standing advertisements” In news
papers, which some merchants say
are useless, it has been remarked,
and truly, that they command th<
greatest confidence. The man who
for years resides in a community and
Ilves a respectable life, even though
he be of but moderate atdilty, will
grow in the confidence and esteem of
hie fellows. On the same principle a
newspaper advertisement becomes
familiar to the reader. It may not
be carefully read every Issue, still it
makes the name and business of a
man familiar, and its continued pres
ence in the columns of a paper In
spires confidence in the stability of
the advertiser.
The Victoria Incident.
Lottixm, March 23.—From advisee
relative to the recent incident at Vic
toria, on the west coast of Africa,
have just been received by mall.
The commander of the German iobr
vette, Blsmarcka wishing to annex
the territory in the vicinity of Vic
toria. asked to be allowed to,, oass
through British territory. The Brit
ish officers at Victoria polite)v but
finally refused permission. The Gor
man commander thereupon throat
ened to bombard the place, but the
British gunboat Watchful nut in an
opportune appearance. The Bis*-
raarok then moved a few miles down
the coast and the German flag was
hoisted on a strld of land belonging
to England. The German com
mander also went in and bribed the
chief of Matansa to cede to Germany
the territory which had already been
ceded to England. The English flag
was hauled down, the German flag
was hoisted, and the German com
mander returned to Victoria and sent
a written ultimatum to the court of
equity to have the English flag at
Matansa removed within two days.
Free Advertising for Doctors.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
Physicians often pretend to despise
newspapers, and they condemn ad
vertising as degrading to their pro
fession. Yet no men are more anxi
ous than they are to have their names
published in connection with impor
tant cases, and even in unimportant
ones they bee&tne notorious. They
thus get the best kind of advertising
gratuitously. In a case like that of
General Grant, which causes anxiety
throughout the whole country, a
good many New York doctors are
making themselves conspicuous.in
the newspaper reports, just as many
in all parts of the land did tn the case
of President 'Garfield. There *will
be more of these as General Grant's
malady makes progress.
Sir Edward Malet’s Bride’s Dowery.
Thw dowerv given by the duke of
Bedford to his daughter on her mar
riage with Sir Ed we rd Malet was
$50,000 invested in console. The
papershave columns of descriptions
of the gorgeous wedding ceremony in
Westminster Abbey. The radical
newspapers contrast the unseemly
splendor of the wedding pageant with
the duke of Bedford’s constant refusal
to subscribe to local charities. They
recall the fhet that the bulk of his
immense income Is derived from the
rental of rookeries in London slums
which are in a sad state of delaptda
tion. They also recall that during
the smallpox scare in London last
summer the duke of Bedford refused
to clean the pestilential alleys of his
property around Oovent garden
market, and even refused to allow
others to remove the accnmuated
filth of years. It is said that the only
time when his grace shows a lively
sense of bis duties as a landlord is
when some tenant falls to pay bls
rent, in which the tenant Is evicted
with great promptness.
A Considerate Mental.
Sam Walkup, although In affluent cir
cumstances, Is one ot the most shabbily
dressed men In Austin. His colored body
servant Tom, on the other hand, dressed
like a dude. One day Mr. Walkup said to
Tom:
It must oostyou a great deal tor clothes
Ydt> are always dieaesrf In the hetgffl ot
the fashion.
Yes,sah, it does cost me right smart,
but Idoee it, Bah,'lentlrel/ on your ac

you do, nobody would bob the lightest.

WASHINGTON LETTER..
From our Itagulxr Correspondent.
Wabhimotom, March 28, 1885.
The political situation in Washing
ton was never more interesting than
it is now, but the interest is entirely
devoid of sensation. It will be the
province of history with a retrospec
tion of fifty years or more to portray
the great and important changes, the
alow, but potent revolution that is
now taking place. The observer of
to-day can catch only here and there
a scene and a sign in the progress of
events as they are evolved around
him. Mr. Cleveland's administration
may not by precisely what many of
his supporters have hoped, but their
disappointment cannot equal that of
the supporters of Mr. Blaine, who
see in the wisdom, the caution, and
tbe conservatism of the administra
tion, the refutation of their predic
tions and the ruin of their hopes.
With the exception ot the appoint
ment of the new celebrated Mr, Hig
gins, malice itsell has been able to
find no fault with those who have
been placed in office. The torrent of
animadversion that poor Higgins has
received must strike the average
government employee ae|very|absurd,
for even if the worst side of him is
true, it follows that he is only as bad
as tbe thousands whom the party
of "moral ideas” has cherished In its
heart of hearts for at least sixteen
years. Higgins gambles, he stuffs
ballot boxes, he is smart and tricky,
Is the cry of the saintly rascals
and rogues who supported a
man like Blaine, and men
like Robeson and Belknap,
and who stole tne presidency only
eight years ago. Why, a large num
ber of the republican employes in
office now are drunkards and gam
blers, men with salaries ot from SIOOO
to $25<X), who would not be trusted
for five dollors, and who would be
dismissed to-morrow, if it were not
for tbe fact that they served in the
Union army. Ye hypocrites. First
cast out the b> ams from your own
eyes and then wiit thou see more
clearly to puii out the mote that is
alleged to have been in your brother
Higgins’ eye before he was appointed
to a subordinate office in the treas
ury department. It is curious, grotes
que, and moraiesque to see what ft
high standard tite republicans have
set up for those from whom a few
mouths ago everything vile was voCl
ferously predicted.
A great change bus come over the
city of Washington, has permeated
all the government offices, has affect
ed the homes and even the shops of
tbe people. That the new adminis
tration will fulfill its contract to con
duct tbe government on business
principles, in the interest of the peo
ple, instead ot for the office holder,
is now believed by all. Government
clerks no longer feel tbe sheltering
arm of theirs republican influence,
and are working in away that is sur
prising. Those who before the elec
tion were blatant and abusive of
democrats cannot now be hired to
say a word against them, and some
have even taught their lips to utter
praise. The average government
clerk is very unhappy. He is aware
that he has very little to do, and that
he is not qualified to do even that
little. He has heard that the new
administration will re-organize
the departments and discharge tbe
useless, the incompetent, the idle,
the drunkard and the gambler. He
knows that this means him. He
knows that outside the government
office, he cannot make a living; that
better clerks are working in busittess
bouses all over the country for one
half and one-third the amount he is
paid; working constantly for ten and
twelve hours a day, while he has been
doing sham work for only seven hours
per day.
Shop keepers, especially those who
sell cigars and tobacco, as well
as saloon keepers, tell me that times
are very dull. Government clerks
are economizing in preparation for
tbe day of dismissal.
In maxing its appointments, I un
derstand the administration will be
very careful to select only competent
and sober men and it U expected that
the moral tone of the service and of
the city will be improved. Improve
ment is already discernible. Presi
dent Arthur’s administration was
comparatively respectable, but it was
at best a succession of the Grant re
gime of vulgarity and dishonesty and
tbe Hayes regime of fraud and hy
pocrisy. I think President Arthur
thought more of his distinction as a
tine gentleman than of bis fame
as a statesman. There is now a
promise of simpler manners, purer
laws. Washington during the next
four years may not be the mecoa of
fashion and social ostentation, but it
will be more than ever the ideal
capital of a decent democracy.
