[ ; Ep ASR AEM aL SEE i i ELEPHANTS GO ON THE WAR- PATH. Wild Times at the Winter Quar. ters of a Menagerie. Bridgeport, Conn., Feb. 28.—The elephants at the great show quarters went on the war path to-day, and as 4 result two employees, Modus and Bates, are nursing serious injuries. Keeper George Conklin had taken the elephants Mandarin and Babe out of the big building and was em ploying them in pushing cars along the railroad tracks. As the pachy- derme disliked the snow they were trumpting. Their howls led Pallis, an elephant inside the building, to believe that his comrades were in trouble, so Pallis snapped the heavy iron chains about his legs and rush- ed out. All the other nine elephants be gan to thrash and tug at their chains. Conklin shouted to Modus and Bates to run inside and quiet the uproar. As they approached the big elephant Tom Thumb they were knocked down by a blow from his trank. Modus was rendered in- sensible and Bates was stepped on aud badly crushed. Scott drove Tom Thumb back with the gib iron hook he had used upon the fractious Jumbo, but quiet was not fully re- stored until Concklin began feeding the elephants with carrots. The uproar started the animals in the other deportments and Fred Noland, who was inside the hippi potamas cage, was knocked into the tavk and nearly drowned. May Grease the Wagons. Washington, D.C, Feb. 28.—The Cherokee outlet is being managed over in the seuate to-day. The In- dian bill is m conference now and when it again sees the congressional light it will bring the Cherokee ont let opening bill along as an amend ment to itself. “The Cherokee bill,” says Peel “is in what you might call statu quo. Nothing is being especially done with it to-day. The committee ie chewing away at away at the Kicka poo amendment. O, yes, we have come to the outlet opening in its turn. There will be no failure cith er. The outlet will be opened this congress and that means this week.” The newspapers have sought jn vain to obtain a portrait of Mr. Rich ard Olney, the new attorney general. This is the New York World's de- scription of him: “Imagine a square block of wood with a slightly re trouse nose and two lumps of coal for eyes and a Dan Lamont mu:- tache and you've got him—the worst louking feller in the gang.’ Mr. Cleveland’s Cabinet could not be successfully operated as a beauty show, but they are solid and sub stantial men, weighing an average of 190 pounds each, and their ability is believed to be equal to their averdu pois. James E. Jouett, retired Rear Admiral in the United States Navy, is known in the service of which he isan ornament. He hastens to con- gratulate Mr. Herbert on his ap pointment as secretary of the navy, calls it a “broad-gauge appointment,” and says that it obliterates the sec tional and war estrangement.” This from one fighting man to another who was once his encmy. It is enough to make Clarkson turn in his political grave.—N. Y. World. Tbe work of naval construction | which was begun in the administra- | tion of President Arthur was vigor- | ously prosecuted under Cieveland. If Cleveland does as well in this di- rection in his coming term as he did in his first one, and as Harrison has / done, the United States, by the time | he steps down from office, will have anavy worthy of her wealth and! commercial greatness.—Globe Dem- | ocrat.

Allof the members were present and at the conclusion of half an hours conference the pres ident arose and in a few words bade them goodby. He thanked them for the loyal support they had al- ways given him and attributed much of the success of his administration to their wise counsels, faithful ser- vices and devotion to the country’s highest good. He thanked them for the personal good will they bore him and wished for each one happi- ness and success in el] their under takings. He then shook bunds with each in turn and ina voice which be trayed emotion, bade them gooi- by. Bordered on a Riot. St. Louis, Mo, March 3 —The democratic convention for the nom ination of a city tickét to be voted on April 4 was held to day. It was, perhaps, the most exciting that has ever taken place in St. Louis. Scenes bordering closely upon the riotous characterized its proceedings, and at times its very existence was threatened by turbulent demonstra- tions, which were finally quelled only bv heroic measures on the’ part of Citef of Police Harrigan and the squad cf officers detailed there fcr | duty. The contest was on the may- oralty nomination and was between Marcus Bernheimer, James Bauner-} man, Mr. De Menil and Edward | Noonan, the present incumbent. ; Amid the wildest confusion, Bar-|} nerman was elected on the ballot by a close yote. second Ministers All Resigning.

The first duty of man is | to provide by honest means for the | maintenance of himself and family. | Honest politics as a pursuit does not | furnish such means except in the small | class of administrative employments, and taen only in a meager degree. In | such cases, the eud of the office-holder's | career, by any of the casualties of place, very often leaves his family and himself stranded on an almost desert shore. The associations and employments of private life are gone, and the savings of even the «trictest economy are small If we tnra ts the wider field of elective and legislative politics, the same duty and the same necessity exist. ‘The patmmotic citizen who applies him- self to the study and practice of politics must have his wordly competence al- ready assured, or he must starve or be tempted to forget or disregard his pa- triotlsm—one of the essential elements of which is honesty—and pursue poii- tics as a trade from which pecuniary gain 1s to be desired. The rare individ- ual who pursues politics from the patri- otie motive of doing good to his fellow- men, and aspires only to understand and exnourd the institutions of his country, is indeed a living beneficence, and the more of such politicians a coun- try can possess the better.

The corrupt and self- isn demagogue is beyond the reach of eodes and courts.

A political class in a repwblic must always be in danger of becoming, or trying to become, the master snd dictator of political move- ments—a trust of bossism and corrup- tion, or which there is already an over- aounaance.—Ex-Senator Edmunds, in the Forum. {SS UNTIDY.” harming Girls Who Bear This Name.

Thecut is a fashionable Prince Albert, reaching tothe kneee, but the Kentuckian does not wear it buttoned like the Prince of Wales but nevertheless it gives hint a dis- tinguished appearance. The color is a startling light gray, more in keeping with a balmy day in May rather than the present chilly weath- er. The courtesies of the inaugural season will be marked and cordial. Mr. Cleveland _ will be the guest o President Harrison, Mr Stevenson of Vice President Morton, while guests and hosts are, so to speak, changing places. _ It is noticeable that these evidences of persona: good wi] and gentlemanly spirit become more prominent with each successive inauguration, presenting a marked contrast with the od times’ of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
