Daily Democrat
From our retuur oorrarondent.
VASHINGTON.
Washington, May 13th, 18S9.
Farriton's religious following will proba
lly be greatly chocked to learn that the
truly good and pious Benjamin hat been
indulging in a sinful Sunday excursion.
But uch is the fact. Pious Benny left
Washington Saturday morning on board
of the Government vessel, Despatch, and
the sailing master's orders were to keep
going night and day until the return to
"Washington to-night. And to make mat
ters worse he has led off with him such
innocents as Secretary Windom, who has
not yet entirely recovered from the effects
f his own indulgence at the late New
York celebration, Secretary Rusk, who.by
the way, needs salt air very much since he
was "fresh" enough to think that wielding
a scythe for five minutes in the presence of
several newspaper correspondents was suf
ficient to popularize him with the Agricul
turists and working people of the country,
ana lastly, but by no means leastjoe Haw
ley, who although born in the state of
North Carolina, can and does constantly
give the trickiest citizens of the state which
Te represents in the United States Senate
Connecticut points in all manner af
things. Mrs Harrison was along, but so
were the two McKee children, who
probably fully occupied her time, leaving
the four mark the number pious gentle
men to indulge in their favorite game to as
great an extent as they might wish. What
was done will probably never be known as
neither of the'four concerned are likely to
tell any tales.
Chief Justice Fuller finding the residence
in the suburbs which he now occupies un
der lease to be too far from the Capitol for
him to walk to and from the Supreme
Court room i.i the Capito), has purchased
one of the most desirable private houses in
this city, located almost in its center. The
price paid was $ico,ooo cash.
Mr Palmer, the new Public Printer.took
'iarge of the Government printing office
this morning. Mr Benedict, the retiring
public printer, has not been a popular offi
cial. No man can be in that oliice, who
properly looks out for the interests of the
Government, but he has nevertheless been
one of the very best public printers we
have ever had. There has been less waste
and more work turned out for the amount
paid than was ever before known in the
history of the office.
At last the colored man and brother has
captured a Presidential appointmen t. The
lucky man was Rev J M l ownsend of
Richmond, Indiana, and the office was Re
corder of the General Land office,not a big
office by any means, but just now the race
is extremely thankful for anything it can
get.
Corporal Tanner is getting to imagine
himself the "oiggest" man connected with
the administration. Somc of his personal
friends have already begun to talk of him
as a Presidential candidate. If less than
two months at the head of the pension
bureau has had this much effect, what mar
be expected of four years ?
The $190,000,000 in the L'nited States
treasury has all got to be cuunted in order
that Mr Hyatt, the retiring treasurer, mav
take the receipt of tlui new treasurer, Mr
Huston, for the same. The count began
to-day and is expected to last something
like three months. Nearly four-Odin of
the rnoney consists of standard silver dol
lars. The appointment of ex-Governor Tliomp
son of South Carolina as the democratic
and Mr Theodore Roosevelt of New York
as t,he second republican member of the.
Civil Service Coin mission, makes ill e board
complete for the first time In many months.
One of the first things thit the Commis
sioner intends to do is to contest the recent
decision of the Inti ' loi- i ei . rt.ncnt that
appointments in t;ie iei.s nun uus would
be made witUout cif il-service examina
tions. Mr Wanamaker is opposed to one cent
postage. He seems to have already he
come a victim to the fever that I'ostmastei
Generals always get soon after their ap
pointments and seldom ever get rid of
That is the absurd desire to-makethe Post
office department self sustaining.
It's dollars to ginger cakes that some
New Hampshire paper mill gets in its work
early in the administration of the new
public printer. My reason for thinking so
is that little "Hilly" 1 handler helped Pal
mer fix up his bond and also went on It
himself. Now Cnaneller never docs any
thing for nothing, and his long experience
in manufacturing Government contracts
in which he has been silently interested
causes me to believe that in tli.s case he
will stick to the same line of tactics that
have made him a rich man.
The next congress will have sixteen con
tested election cases to determine, thirteen
of them from the South. The papers in
several of these cases arc now at the Gov
ernment printine onice being put in type.
Wire barbed fencing hat proved to be a
godsend to English farmers. They are
using it around their fields quietly to annoy
and prevent tot hunters from trampling
their crops. They say nothing of the sort,
of course.only keep on putting up the barbs
as a convenient and cheap fence. The
horses and hounds are often injured by
these fences. There Is no law to prevent
the use of the wire, and not likely to be.
So a revolution is wrought in the mannrrs
of English barristers and pai6onsand gen
tlemen by the bits of twisted wire invented
for ut on our western prairies, where tim
ber it scarce.
Senator Palmer, who will soon depart on
his mission to Spain, expects to return within
15 months. lie said the other day: 'I would
rather grub sagebrush on my farm near Detroi1
and eat earn pone in my log cabin than live in
the castles in Spain and make salaams to her
king,"
I'p in Minnesota trees fall across the most
rapid locomotives. It is well, however, that
the locomotives rather than the cars catch the
falling timber. Thus only the engineer and
nreman are killed, whereas if the trees were to
drop upon one of the cars a dozen noble Re
publicans, on their way to Washington, might
be hopelessly mangled.
A Chicago paper referred to a State Senator
as Mr thos. h. jones, and he has sued for $75,
000 damages. lie apparently considers it 1
capital offense.

Mr Gladstone attributes his health and viyor
to his habit of sleeping seven hours out of the
twenty-four and never thinking of business
;ifler he goes to bed. Men who are unable to
sleep soundly and haven't the f.irulty of freeing
their minds fiom an.-.ious llioug'.ils would be
very glad to follow the Knglish statesman's rule
