Sherman made a eaii on Harrison a
taw days ago, and, it is thought, split
his proposed cabinet all to piece*. It
ie jaat liiie him; if Us did it, he did it
in the mteioat of Slie'tv.au’s
chances for the president in 1896.
That Bagging Trust again! It is

It is said Harrison has to stand

High thoughts are preferred by the
world, and if Harrison cm main

he will do better than any other
president has over dons.
Monday being inauguration day.il
was a big day in Washington, A
good crowd frsia the southern sta'es
were present —some of course, ar-'ct
with the idea of going to Washington,
while ethers v. sat with the expecta
tion of ?eeing an elephant and a half.
.Ere this the president is seated in
his chair, it he was able to stand the
jcaagarai ceremony.
it wiil not be surprising if ill*
present congress dont wit hold th®
admittance of Now Mexico on ac
count of her democratic principles.
Washington, Montana and I)ako
tf. territories have been admitted.
These are republican, but they
u. *.y possibly change. These torri
toi’ies have -no great need for pro
- ffion, more Ilian civilization, law
and order.
Wnr-n iiatione said Uo was “oppos
ed to the colored race pushing thera
selves forward for prominent posi
tions, ’’ he was only indorsing the well
vt-hbes of bis party. While none iu
the republican party have been so out
u ok*n Maiu-ae, they do aot want
a colored man iu the cabinet. The line
of politics may have a wide sway in
the republican party, and bo various in
securing Hie office spoils, but tae col
or liaeissfcrlight and narrow.
The forged Parnell letters have
at last been cleared up. The to
nes have nothing to go on now,
When Home Rule dominates this
infamous government will go iclo
oblivion. Why should the Irish
I e mcnarchs to slavery?—one of
the greatest nations for intellect,
wit and humor. Read their parlia
m nt offerings for debate in the
House of Commons. Why should
they not enjoy the freedom aad
rights of any other civilized nation?
WhV they not enjoy the
possession of their labors? Why
should they not have Che right to
become land-owners and pay gov-
svnmentand local taxi- While th*
present lory government is void of
sympathy, reason and justice, Par
nell, ia representing the Liberals,
lias it a)!, and is bound t* win.

Washington, Fob. 25, 1889.—TUe
inauguration is right upon as, hurry
ing and pushing us to such aa extent
that there arc no means oi eeospe.
This is evident tluonghout the city.
Everybody is making ready for the
event iu hi* own way, from the presi
dent to the corner grocer, from the
prst lady of the laud to the dressmak
er who i* concocting diaphanous do
lesions for the inaugural ball, or th*
always half distracted boarding house-
Mrs., who hopes to make a sung little
'purse off el tha inauguration viti.ers
who are pare to come.
Large reviewing stands have been
creeled on Pennsylvania areaue be
tween the cspitcl sad the white house,
eacfi one of which will accommodate
hundreds ot paopio, and on which a
seat can be had for aboat two dollars.
Windows on the line jt the parade,
which will accommodate ten parson*,
rent for one hundred dollars. Iu oth
ers you can secure a seat for live dol
lars. Or if you are a man asd not too
proud to stand on the sidewalk like
thousands ot other people will do, you
can see tha inaugural procession free.
Bustle, contusion, and the busiest
preparations may be seen around the
headquarters of tho inaugural cotonaL
teea on ball and parade, sob
committees, officers and aides are re
cowing instructions, and rules bars
been issued for the inaugural ball
Ccneiderable discussion was occasion
ed by the statement on >bo bsll ticket
’.hat. “lull drees was required.” Bus
the authorities were compiled, and
made to understand that such proviso
might ksep msny away who had in
tended t# come asd who eoiild not con
venienfly procure the wedilirg gar
toent; so in charity it was so agreed
that, the expression might be construed
fcn mean that full dress was ‘requested
or desired,” but that a Prince Albert
would be considered fall dress for the
lima. And you may rest assured
there will be soma cutaways present
also; tbo only coat that will be strict
ly prohibited is the ovsreoat. Ido not
think it would be quite eat* to try to
run the gauntlet in that garment.
The pß*i<xn build:Eg. in which the
iaugural ball will be held, is surround
ad by temporary out buildings tor van
Gas purposes connected with the ball
sad the interior for some weeks past,
has beou a workshop with a confusion
or gas pipes, elootrio wires, scaffolding
etc. The rough work is now corapie?
ed aud the dscoratioes are in progress,
though as yet, but little order has
boeu evolved from the chaos. The
work of decorating other public boild
mgs has bbgna and the shop windows
aro ablaze with all the beamy and do
gi’.nce that they can furnish.
Ever eager to read the stars, rumor
has it that when Sirs. Cleveland le*v
es White House she will go into liter*
tare. A Chicago prophet ssys that
she is now translating it Y ranch novel
and a Boston wiseacre is positively
that she will contribute to the naaga
.lines. Jdo not believe that Mrs.
Cleveland could be tricked into trad
'iug upon bar social reputation or would
be tickled by a paseiaj literary reputa
tion; she ebould bo Baade ot finer, if j
not sterner, stuff; so called iitsr&fare ;
l
brought forth anew cariosity in the j
president’s sister, and cynical people j
laughed at it. Don’t you know he felt j
it, end do you suppose he would con
seat ror hie wife to taka sunk a step?
President Cleveland has not yet defi
nitely aiiuouceed his future dwelling
place. There is x minor that he will
tend* at the v ictoria hotel there.
Preparatory to such migration, of
coarse, tha world is still ia suspense
regarding ibe decision of.Ward lleAi
listerr’ exclusive 490, as io whether m
not Mr. and Mrs Cleveland should fe.
lor,# to it. Who was it said Mr*
Cleveland would not care vrhoiberhei
400 decided for or agejnst her claims?
There are expressions of surprisi
3ud impatience in acina quartern tha
the prasideut elect is apparently g
slow in tha formation of his cabinet
Some people think he night have at
tended that little matter long ago and
mlieved the pnblie mind of suspense I
by the announcement of his appoint |
merits. It appears to be forgotten that
a similar expedience was gone through
with by Mr. Cleveland four yearn ago
Various slates were made sad unmade
before th* final list was announc
ed. Til ere are difficulties and ©m
brrasßmnts in the way that, at
•Hi* present time, non* but Mr.
Harrison, him sol f, can properly un
derstsnd and apreeiat®, ll@ mzy
not even come to a decision until
the day of his inauguration, and if
he should not desire to make bis
selections known until ha is ready
to send their names to tha senate,
no one will be surprised or have
any just cause for complaint.
