WASHINGTON.
Washington, May 6th, 1SS9.
The Pacific Coast hat captured the big
gest thiaf yet givea out by the preterit ad
ministration. It ia the contract to build
the mammoth armored coast detente ves
sel that wat provided for by the last Con
jress,which hat been awarded by the Navy
Department to the Union iron works of
San Francitco. Ex-Secre!arT Whitney it
entitled to the credit of having made it
possible to build tuch a vettel on the Pa
cific coast bv the recognition he gave to
the enterprite of the California capitalist
that ettablithed thit plant tor the building
i iron and tteel ve&telt. The price of the
new Tetsel it to be $i,6iS,oco.
When the cal't away the mice will
play." John Sherman has gone to Europe
and the Fo.-aker wing of the republican
party of Ohio, with Foraker at the head
hat twooped down on Wathington to see
what Harrison can be coaxed or bull-dozed
Into giving them. John Sherman hat by
kit selfishness teeming! committed polit
ical suicide. He got two or three offices
for hit own personal favorites, but he hat
made enemiet of the entire Ohio Congres
sional delegation thereby. Representatives
Butterworth and McKinley have long been
able lieutenants of Sherman's but now
they train with the Foraker crowd, with
whom they have made a league, offensive
and defensive ; and unless the signs are
greatly at fault John Sherman it now
serving hit last term in the Senate.
Among the few appointments that Har
rison has found time to make since his re
turn from the New York celebration was
that of his brother, Carter B Harrison, to be
United States Marshal for the middle dis
trict of Tennessee. If Mr Cleveland had
appointed his brother to a position every
republican editor in the country would
have roared for months, but they will dis
creetly overlook this little bit of nepotism.
Verily it does make a difference whose ox
is gored.
Army courts seem to have rather queer
ideas in regard to making the "punishment
fit the crime." Maj Lydecker.who was the
engineer in charge of the Washington
aqueduct tunnel, has been found guilty by
a court martial on several counts of having
neglected his duty as an official, etc. And
the said neglect has cost a million dollars
that have been spent on the tunnel which
has now been abandoned. Pretty serious
crime one would think and deserving of
severe punishment. What does the court
martial say ? That Major Lydecker sha'.l
be fined $100 per month for nine months
and be rcpremanded in general orders.
Could anything be more ludicrous. An
officerby neglect and carelessness sacrifices
St.oco.ooj and deprives a city of a much
needed increase of water supply, and is
lined $900 therefore. Reader perhaps you
may wonder why this sentence was made
so light It can be answered in two words,
social influence, which is the strongest of
all powers in Washington.
Calvin S Brice it it generally thought
will tucceed the late W H Barnum at
chairman of the democratic national com
mittee. Republican offi:e seekers say that Pres
ident Harrison hat as much trouble to ar
rive at a definite decision as to making an
appointment as did the hungry ass that
fable says starved to death between two
bundles of hay because he could not de
cide which to go to.
According to Senator Ingalls, President
Harrison will call an extra session of Con
gress to meet early in October in order to
get the House organized and in working
order before the Christmas recess. In
gall's speaks as though the matter had
been definitely settled bv the President.
The tail of the British lion has not been
twisted according to promise by the present
Administration, The President has an English,
man for Private Secretary, employs English
servants in the White House and has selected
an Englishman to count the sixty millions, more
or less, of American people and make known
to the rest of the universe how they get their
living. That vigorous American policy has
not been inaugurated in the White House, at
least.
The highest price ever paid for a piece
of Chicago real estate was that given by
Mr 11 II Kohlsaat for the northw est corner
of Dearborn and Madison streets. The di
mensions of the property are 20 by 40 feet,
and the price paid was $150,000, which is
equivalent to $7,500 per front foot. $187.50
per square foot, $1.30 per square inch, or
about $S,ooo,ooo per acre.
It is said that an idle brain is the devil's
workshop. If reports as to the number of idle
men in the country are true, surely his majesty

These prophetic words of Lincoln !
Would that they were indelibly fixed in
the mind of every intelligent man in the
nation : "But I see in the near future a
crisis approaching which unnerves me.and
causes me to tremble for the safety of my
country. As a result of the war, corpora
tions have been enthroned, and an era of
corruption in high placet will follow, and
the money power of the country will en
deavor to prolong its reign by working
upon the prejudices of the people until all
wealth it aggregated in a few hands and
the republic is destroyed.
A Hartford clergyman tells this anec
dote early in life.while occupying another
charge, he invited a clergyman whom the
unregenerate would call conceited and
dull to preach in h'.s pulpit. During the
sermon our Hartford preacher dozed away
in the taeet old wav till he was suddenly
called on to conclude the service with
prayer. Accustomed to regard himself as
the humblest of his creator's instruments,
and forgetting that he had not delivered
the sermon, he began with "We beseech
Thee to accept the weak and feeble effort
that has been addressed to Thee and mor
richlv to endow Thv servant in the graces
he so greatly lacks."
