'DOUGLASVtLLE STAR I WASHINGTON letter,. PCBUNIIE ft KTERT THCR§»AY JY ROBERT A. MASSEY. The editor of Punch is the father of fourteen daughters. That is the English idea of tun. One Bliss doth on another tread, BO fast they follow. After [). W. Bliss comes George Bliss. In Washington eight men are kept busy in a photographic gallery mak ing portraits of Giteau for sale. . Mrs. Garfield’s mother, Arabella Mason, was born in Vermont, in the town of Hartford. She was a scion of an old Connecticut famil}’. Both Bout well, of Massacliuse ts, and ctewart L. Woodford, of New York, came very near to being in President Arthur's place. A member of the recent legisla ture has written to inquire if he can secure space. Referred to the com mittee on privileges and elections. General Wallace, our minister to Turkey, drank toffee with the sultan. The cups wcro without handles and were crusted with diamonds Mr. James A. W' eatherwood, of Springfield, Ohio, says. Brown’s Iron Bitters cured me of the worse case ot dyspepsia man ever had. The muscles of my stomach, liver and bowels now seem so strong, I be lieve I could almost digest petrified cheese! 1 recommend it to all who suffer ns did I. Mr. Grange Noble, the head of the detno ratic ticket in Pennsylvania, has a furnace, a walch factory an organ factory, an non foundry and several other virtues. Senator Jones, who shelters Pres ident Arthur, wears a heard that covers a large area of his shirt front and completely conceals any little artffice in the way of neckties. Eastern papers say tint ex-Sena- tor Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, has accepted the appointment of minis ter to Spain, which President Gar field made the day he was shot. . Refering to Bon, well’s fitness for & judgeship of the United States sir- .M-omo court, the Buffalo News, says that ‘a dead lawyer would be better on the bench than this embalmed politician.’ Minister Osborn, the representa tive of the United States at Rio Janeiro, is visiting friends in Kansas and .Missouri. He has been resting in not very good nealth. He is for ty five years old, portly and very g^y- is. One hundred and ten thousand pictures, of various kinds, of Gen ral Garfield were sold in Philadelphia within six weeks. Ten thousand each of the portraits of the elder and younger Mrs. Garfield were also sold. Mr. Walter H. Page, of the New York World, arrived in the city yes.erday. He has been unavoida* bly detained in St. Louis, but now that, he is on the ground, he will proceed to sit up with the exposi tion.—Con. The New York life insurance com- pa• y in which President Garfield had a policy for $25,000 draped their building in mourning on the occasion of his death and placed on the out side the suggestive placard, “we mourn our loss.’’ Sir Frederick Roberts, the hero of the march from Ur.bul to Candahar, was the most observed ot the guest at the recent German maneuvers, The emperor treated him with spe cial distinction, and the crown prin ces, who attended the review on liorsebao , rode frequently beside the English soldier. In pursuance of the call for an extra session. Senators have nearly all arriyed and each party is in cau cus lo day to a?rje or disagree on a programme of organization. I will not attempt to predict what will be the outcome of the special election for which the extra session was cal led for fear the wires may prove me a false propnet before tiiis is put in type. But, beneath tie enforced calmness which both parties feel is befitting this sad crisis, smoulders much excitement. In electing a President of the Senate it is realized that a possible president of the Uni ted States will he made. It is idle to say that such a thing is not pro bable. The tragic occurences of the last tnree months have educated peo ple to anticipate the improbable. If there shall be a long and bitter fight over this usually unhonored office, it will be because senators realize that but one life stands between it and such power as few sorvereigns sway. If a Detaocrit shall te elect ed then, it is possible that, without the din and tiwmoil of a presidential election, but by the extinction of a frail human life the political admin istration of tire country may be changed. The situation is generally and par ticularly interesting in Washington. The President has returned to the Jones Mansion but is inaccessable to the ordinary politican and office seeker, especially those of the vulgar Guiteau type. He has given out that Cabinet officers must make ap pointments in their several Depart ments and that he will not listen to aspirants for petty places. This is certainly a man in the right direction It will relieve the President of the chief annoyance of his high position such annoyance as the heads of oth er nations will not and ought not tolerate. Of course there will be much complaint andjcriticism to the effect that an American President is assuming undemocratic airs and seeking the haughty s elusion of European potentates. But looked at rightly, Prisidcnt Author can serve the interests of fifi.y millions of people in a much broader and more democratic way i f he will snub the ten thousand beats who come begging for office, thus refusing to selffsti ihdmTuaTsTliat ttme that he owes not to a man, not even to a party, but to the whole country. It will doubtless require some time to teach the thick skinned office seek ing world that t e President of the United States has something else to do than to appoint them to lucrative sinecures. But President Author must at the outlet be credited with strategical skill. Instead of going to the W hite House, which has al ways been a resort for office seekers he is staying at the private residence of Senator Jones. This is calculated to throw the office seeker off the se cret to confuse him, and make him despondent. But this is not the worst. In a few days the President will remove to Soldiers Home, a beautiful park three miles from the city. The mob of office seekers who come her* every winter about the beginning of the Congressional ses sion cannot reach him there because not one in a hundred can hire a car • riage and they wilt not walk three miles in the mud. The best preventive of consump tive diseases of the lungs, bowels or kidneys is Brown’s Iron Bitters. It checks all decay. - Willie P. Herrick is a New York boy. He recently proposed, through the New York Evening Post, that the children of America raise a fund by small subscriptions to establish a ‘Garfield home in the country for lit tle sick children.' The Century compa y have offered to receive and credit in St. Nicholas all subscrip- _iii-ti4gj>rqpo8ed fund, President Arthur has a nephew who has been bouse hunting in New York city, and has concluded to let to him his Lexington avenue resi dence so that his children will still have a home in the city. His oldest son has just entered Columbia col lege. Fairburn News Let’tVk We regret to learn of tf of Mrs. Susan B. Luck,wife 5 B.
