Cleveland ia inimitable there is none
like him. He seems to delight in taking
the American people by surprise, and
glories while they are in a state ol
dread and excitement, wondering how
he ia to creditably extricate himself
from aome odd action, and wondering
what fool thing he ia going to do next.
He began by appointing a republican
for his chief cabinet adviser, and sup
plied some of the others with rnea un
known out of a small circle in political
life and for the most part totally ignor
ant and untrained for the duties to be
demanded of them. Now he haa sent a
man to the Hawaiian group who haa
palled down the American flag, and
while the people are execrating the deed
or casting about for an excuse for such
an action, he volunteer no explanation
nor recalla the ambassador. It may
suit his caprice to act in this manner,
and perhaps give him unbounded per
sonal satisfaction to thus dally with the
feelings and sentiments of the millions
who so enthusiastically reinstated him
aa chief magistrate last November, but
ia it fair to these people at large? Have
they not the right to know something of
events while they are being moulded?
It is too suggestively like an absolute
monarchy. There is excuse to withhold
information from the masses which by
publicity would damage our cause, but
no one has the right to make playthings
of the emotions of 65,000,000 to cater to
the amusement of one man, and this
seems to be Cleveland'a object ever aince
the 4th of March.
The curse of nepotism, which Presi
dent Cleveland so emphatically de
nounced recently, is widely prevalent at
Washington, where it boneycomba the
entire system of the government. There
haa never been a time when the evil was
more general and undisguised. Presi
dents of the United States have rarely
indulged in nepotism, any attempt on
their part to adopt the practice giving
rise to a disturbance. When John
Adams appointed two of hia relatives to
office a howl of disapprobation at once
arose. A letter of hia ia still extant, in
which he replies to a cousin, Benjamin
Adams : "You know it is impossible for
me to appoint my own relatives without
drawing forth a torrent of obloquy."
Washington would never give an office
to any member of his family. Another
of the early presidents said that it was
the first duty of the chief executive to
secure the confidence of the people, and
their trust in him was impaired when he
showed official favor to a relation. The
latter-day presidents have not been so
particular. Andrew Johnson employed
hia own eon aa hia private secretary, and
President Hayes did likewise for awhile.
It will be remembered what a disturb
ance was created by General Grant ap
pointing certain relatives of his to office
while he was president. The severe at
tack made upon him in the senate by
Charles Sumner was largely devoted to
criticism of these acts .of nepotism.
President Harrison appointed his brother
United States marshal for the state of
Tennessee, jjfr. Cleveland, when presi
dent before, made his cousin, Ben Fol
som, consul at Sheffield, England, and
he still, holds the place, Mr. Harrison
having retained him, perhaps as a mat
ter of courtesy.
P. Redman, who in another column
volunteers to show homesteaders vacant
land, w doing a patriotic service which
if adopted on the part of the many long
ago, would have built up the country
better than by any other mode. . The
trouble with some old-timera ia that
they not only fence up many square
miles of their own land, but they want
all the remainder for a free range for
their stock.
The youthful King Alexander of Servia
is a success. Within three months he
has removed the estrangement between
hia father and mother, kicked out the
regency and picked hia birthright a full
year before it was ripe: There's a smart
Alec for you. Spokane Review.
economical Board and Room Keeping of
a Resident of Washington.
It ia wonderful how the theories of
oar past lives comes back to us now as
the realities of the present. Daniel
Webster constantly made notes of cur
rent ideas, and when asked how long it
was before he used them, replied some
times twenty years, sometimes longer.
When I was a boy, in Shelby county, I
went one day to Mr. John Cooper's shoe
maker's shop to be measured for a pair
of shoes, as the custom of the country
then was. He and his little son Robert
lived alone in the woods in a house of
one room, which was dwelling and
shoe shop. Soon Bob's uncle, Gideon
Kaylor, about his age, came in, and Bob
joyfully exclaimed, "Come, Uncle Gid,
we've got some potatoes, and there is
plenty of salt."
It seemed strange to me to see how
eagerly they roasted and ate the potatoes
and how happy they were. They lived
happily, and yet this was all their liv
ing. I have repeated this story fre
quently during my prosperous days as a
great wonder, never dreaming that it
would become" my ojyo reality, as it now
is, and I am happy too.
A German woman who could not
speak a word of English came into my
office one day with one of my German
circulars in her hand, which Mr. Coop
had given her in Saxony. I sent her out
into the country with a German mer
chant to look at lands, and that day she
bought a farm. The next day I made
the deeds, and she became the owner
and moved in. A neighbor soon after
ward told me that it cost that lady
nothing to live. He says she puts a tin
cup of coffee on the stove and a tin cup
of cornmeal mush , and that is all her liv
ing, but she is getting rich. I thought that
very strange, too, never thinking that I
should live so, but I do just that thing
now, having remembered hearing how
she lived.
When I lost all my money and yet
must live, I rented a room 14 by 16 feet,
with heat, for $5 per month not a very
good room and not very well furnished,
but comfortable and respectable, and
there are plenty of them at that price.
I bought an outfit as follows: An iron
handy lamp, 75 cents; three seamless
pint tin cups, 15 cents; one do. quart,
15 cents; one'half gallon tin cup, with
cover, 10 cents; three bowls, 15
cents; cup and saucer, 10 cents; gallon
glass oil can, 35 cents; oil, 15 cents;
spoon, 10 cents; total outfit, $2. Then 1
bought one month's provisions as fol
lows: Half bushel potatoes, 35 cents;
ten pounds cornmeal, 20 cents; three
pounds Graham flour, 15 cents; one
pound ground coffee, 25 cents; eight
pounds granulated sugar, 36 cents; one
pound lard, 10 cents; coarse salt, 5 cents:
total for the month, $1.46.
I am a good, hearty eater, and am full
fed and live well, and am thankful for
it, but I cannot eat all of my month's
provision. There is always a considera
ble amount over every month, and 1 live
well too. In the morning I light my
handy lamp, fill my seamless pint tin
cup with water, put a teaspoonful of
ground coffee into it, put it over the
lamp, and turn another tin cup, bottom
upward, over it for a cover. In ten
minutes there is a pint cap of good, hot
coffee. While the coffee is boiling I put
a little water into the half gallon cup,
not more than one-eighth fall, and then
fill the quart tin cup about one-fourth
full of cornmeal, add a little salt, then
set this cup into the half gallon cap, and
fill up the quart cup full of water and
stir np the meal well. Jam in the han
dle of the quart cup so that it will go
into the larger cup. As soon as the cof
fee comes off set the mush on the lamp.
Stir it occasionally, and when it thickens
and fills up the cup take it off.
I bay a loaf of bread for four cents
for Sunday, and melt a little lard and
salt for gravy, and I live well and have
plenty to eat. Many others in this city,
gaunt and half starved, can live well in
this way. John Howard in Washington
Pout-
The Evolution of the Sword.
As men in early times fought hand to
band, the oldest specimens of the sword
are short; in fact, the sword is probably
bat an evolution of the club, which at
first made of hard wood was gradually
sharpened on one and then on both sides,
so as to inflict a more deadly wound.
Even today we find some savage races
wn ploying wooden weapons. Wood
gave way to stone, which in torn was
displaced by bronze, iron and finally
teel.
The sword increased in length as men
became more civilized and showed a dis
position to fight farther away from each
other, which required more dexterity in
the use of the weapon. Some specimens
we have of swords of the Middle Ages are
almost if not quite as long as the war
riors who wielded them. During the
Fifteenth century the science of fencing
was invented, when the sword in the
form of a rapier reached the highest
point of development. Kate Field's
Washington.
Unasked Sympathy.
I cannot touch a piece of velvet with
my fingers or permit the furry side of a
peach skin 'to touch my lips without ex
periencing immediately a sort of cold
chill all over my person. It is not so
very severe, bat it is unpleasant. Still I
would prefer to living forever under the
ban of such a chill than to be compelled
to meet once a day one of those oleagi
nous bundles of insincerity and pretense,
the unctuous and effusive chap who
thinks you are not properly treated and
never loses an opportunity to tell yon so.
Of coarse I am aware I am not properly
appreciated, bat I detest being told of
the fact by another person, who never
lifts a finger in my behalf, and who only
wags his tongue in my favor when I am
by to see him do it. Detroit Free Press.
Persons who are subject to attacks of
bilious colic can almost invariably tell,
by their feelings, when to expect an at
tack. If Chamberlain '8 Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy is taken as soon
as these symptoms appear, they can
ward off the disease. Such persona
should always keep the Remedy at hand,
ready for immediate use when needed.
Two or three doses of it at the right
time will save them much suffering.

The death of Judge Hastings, of Mus
catine, leaves Prof. Parvin, of Cedar
Rapids, the sole survivor of the sixteen
lawyers admitted at the first term of
the supreme court in 1838, says the
Cedar Rapids Gazette. Judge T. F.
Wilson, who was one of the territorial
judges and had been a prosecuting attor
ney in Wisconsin before the separation
of Iowa, still lives at an advanced age
and practices in Dubuque, where he has
resided since 1836. The death of Judge
Hastings leaves only two survivors of
Iowa's first legislature, Dr. Gideon S.
Bailey, of Van Buren county, and
Hawkins Taylor, of Lee, now of Wash
ington City, both being octogenarians.

When Charlemagne and his " Knights of
the Round Table " were making war on tho
Saracens, in Africa, it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would fipfrt in
single combat for the honor of their re
spective armies. The Saracens had been,
for many years, the scourge tho dreaded
invaders of Europe, and all waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days the worst scourge that
threatens us. is that dread invader, Con
sumption. Consumption fastens its hold upon its vic
tims while they are unconscious of its ap
proach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coverv has cured thousands of cases of thia
most "fatal of maladies. But it must bo
taken before tho disease is too far advanced
in order to bo effective. If taken in time,
ond given a fair trial, it will cure, or money
paid for it will bo refunded.
For "Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Short
ness of Breath, Bronchitis, Asthma, severe
Coughs, and kindred affections, it is an une
qual od remedy.
For all diseases that arise from a torpid
liver and impure blood, nothing can take the
place of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. Nothing will, after you have seen what
it does. It prevents and cures by removing
the cause. It invigorates tho liver, purifies
tho blood, sharpens tho appetite improves
Ci Tcstiou, and builds up both strength and
flesh, when reduced below tho standard of
bea-th.
