2 TRUSTING THE PEOPLE COLONEL MORRISON THINKS EVERY OFFICE SHOULD BE ELECTIVE. AND ELECTIONS OCCUR OFTEN. This Old Time Democrat Thinks Even Senators and Supreme Court Judges Should be Put Where the People Can Get at Them—Attorney-General Ilarmon as a Singer—Even Grover Sometimes “Nods”— Peff*r Talks About the Degeneracy of Populism. Washington, D. C., Aug. 5. Col. Wm. R. Morrison is of the stamp of Democrat that believes in trusting the people. He learned to know them Eretty well by following the plow as a oy, and by digging gold in California as a “Forty-niner,” and he has never gotten away from the people or lost faith in them. Recently he was asked if he would like to return to his old seat in Congress. He said that he would like to if he could have the place guaranteed to him for a time, but the continual campaigning in a close district took away the attractions. “Then do you think the term of a Congressman should be extended.''” he asked. Colonel Morrison shook his head. “I am beginning to think,” said he, “that no one ought to be elected to office in this country for more than six months. And, moreover, I believe that every of fice in which the people are directly in terested in this country should be elec tive, Senators ? Why not ? But beyond that, I would have the Supreme Court put where the people could get at it.” “Are you thinking of the income tax decision 2I asked. “Not at all,” said Colonel Morrison quickly. “I did not have that in my mind. But I think it is absurd that the highest tribunal in the land—the last re sort in interpreting our laws—should be composed of men who are beyond the reach of the people—who are appointed by one man, and who hold office for life.” “Don’t you think there would be some danger in mixing up politics and the courts?” “Not at all,” said Colonel Morrison. “Your politics is as good as anything you have in this country.” “I Know a Little Yaller Gal.” Saturday's Star contains this good story: “Attorney General Harmon bids fair to become the most famous in the cabi net. Among the politicians of both par ties Hoke Smith has made best progress in popularity, but all the while some new characteristic or mannerism is at tracting attention to Harmon. It has now developed that he sings. His reper toire is said to be limited to one song— “l Know a Little Yellar Gal”—one of the most charming of negro melodies, but he sings that with evident enjoyment. There is no affectation about him, and he sings only for his own amusement. Ho has not yet acquired that impression, so common to great men, that everybody’s eyes are upon him, and he has an un conscious way of doing as he pleases. If he wants to let his spirit out in song, he sings. He whistles when he feels like it, just as he eats pie in a dairy lunch room if he is so inclined. During the warm season he is stopping in the suburbs, where there is plenty of fresh air, green lawn and freedom. It is his delight to putter in the garden after go ing home from the department, and as he pulls up weeds and scratches about in the grounds, unconscious of all about him, he sings in a rich, full voice, brok en in upon now and then by something that attracts his attention: “I Know a Little Yaller Gal.” He will sing a line or two and then stop to pull up a weed or scratch the earth around a plant, and th .n take up the song again where he left off, now humming softly to himself, now raising his voice to its full volume.” Even Mr. Cleveland “Nod'*.” The New York Morning Advertiser prints the following about the President: “One of the maladies incident to the advanced period of life to which the S resent President of the United States as attained is a tendency to fall asleep at inopportune times. Mr. Cleveland, vigilant as he is in looking out for the public welfare, is said to be at this time quite a victim of this tendency. He nods after meals and drops into the soporific abyss of slumber immediately after exer tion of an unusual or excessive nature. There is a story that when he goes fish ing about Gray Gables on these warn days and bites are not as plentiful as they ought to be, he will grop off gently into slumber. There is an element of peril in this tendency, however, because one day he sat down on the edge of a grassy bank, cast hi 3 line and soon slept “ deeply. Along came a couple of fishermen, and, as the President is well known by sight there, they became alarmed at the sight of him nodding thus on a bank, and they promptly waked him up, fearing that if he slept on longer he would tumble into the water. Very soon the story spread, and by this time, it is said to be a regular duty to keep an eye on the President In order that he may meet with no accident while he sit>eps. He has, in fact, met with one mishap already, because a bee stung ir.ro on tha hand, and it swelled cousul.nib'y. Mr. Cleveland is amused rather than otherwise by these alarms, arul refuses to allow any hired attend ant to perform these offices for him, ro wing instead upon the company of a stray fisherman. He met a village boy on a recent fishing trip and fished with him for hours The boy knew perfectly well who his companion was, but it made no difference, and the two shared the labor as well as the sport of the day. Iu this respect Mr. Cleveland is a very success ful man in dealing with people,, and around Gray Gables he is decidedly pop ular”. Secretary Tliurber’s Unpopularity. Private Secretary Thurber has never been popular. He is a lawyer of good ability, but he has absolutely no concep tion of his duties because he has no tact. He offends more men than he pleases and has managed to make fewer friends than any of his predecessors. Sometime ago the society of Colonial Wars deter mined to present a medal to commemo rate the 150th anniversary of the cap ture of Louisburg in 1745 by the Ameri can colonists to Queen Victoria, Lord Aberdeen and President Clevoland. It was easy enough to present to the first two parties through Minister Bayard, but Admiral Rome has failed to see Mr. Cleveland to present the medal to him. The Admiral is very severe in his criti cism of Thurber. “The second time I called,” he said, “he told me the Presi dent was permanently engaged. Never in my life was I so treated by a private secretary.” Degeneracy ol Populism. Senator Peffer has been talking poli ties. He says that he, Jones, Stewart, Butler and Tillman will act in concert and hold the balance of power in the Senate. He thinks silver Democrats and silver Republicans will vote the ticket of their respective pai’ties, and sees little prospect for silver legislation. The overthrow of the Populists at the last election was a question upon which Senator Peffer spoke guardedly. With out saying so directly, his conversation led to the conclusion that the party had started out as reformers and had stormed and criticised and denounced the unholy actions of the Republicans, particularly on the matter of accepting railroad passes and in legislation favorable to the roads. Tfcey permitted the public to believe that they would do better when in power, but when the reins of government were in their hands they made the samo mis takes, did the very things that they de nounced in others, and were swept out of sight by a hoodwinked and thoroughly disgusted lot of voters. Neglected Works of Art. John Trumbull’s enormous painting representing Washington resigning his commission before Congress, was lifted out of its recess in the walls of the rotunda, under the dome of the Capitol last week and placed in the hands of a restorer. It is reported to be in a deplorable condition. The varnish is old and crack ed and a thick coating of dust and moisture is caked over the paint. It has not been cleaned for years, and no care, it seems, has Teen taken of it, or any others of the Government’s pictures. It will require a month to put it in good order. It is suggested that a competent person be regularly employed to look after the works of art belonging to the Nation, and the attention of the next Congress will be called to the matter, which unquestionably calls for imme diate attention. The Coining Election in Maryland. People here are talking about the re sult of the nomination in Maryland. Many predict the defeat of the Demo cratic ticket because of hostility to Gor man’s dictation. It is said that he prom ised his support to Hayes for Governor, but when the rich men of Baltimore pro tested against the nomination of Hayes, because of his advocacy of reassessment, Gorman de erted him. Hayes is hot, and after his betrayal is reported to have said to Gorman: “I know that no deceit, treachery or baseness is too great for you. You have crowned at last a long career of double dealing, treachery and falsehood by this act of infamy. By your course to day you will bury yourself beyond resurrection. I am only sorry that you will bury the party with you. Bnt the party can live, while you, overcome by your treachery and falsehood, will meet with the fate you deserve. lam no tool nor puppet to be fooled and trilled with, and I want nothing more to do with such a man ?.s you.” * * * Secretary Morton has suddenly be come very popular with the Virginians because of his statement that if he were young he would buy a farm in Virginia, and he adds that if he were to modify “Greeley’s go West, young man,” he he would make it “Go to Virginia, young man.” * * * President Alex. Q. Holladay, who left last night for North Carolina, returning from a Northern trip, says the prospects for the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege are brighter this year than ever be fore.

Willing to Oblige. Life’s Calendar. They are telling a story at the expense of a young North Carolina girl. The girl is charming, but like a great many other charming people, she is poor. She never has more than two evening gowns in a season, and the ruin of one. of them is always a very serious matter to her. She went to a little dancing party last week, and she wore a brand new white frock. During the evening a great, big red faced perspiring man came up and asked her to dance. He wore no gloves. She looked at his well-meaning but moist hands despairingly, and thought of the immaculate back of her waist. She hes itated a minute, and then she said with a winning smile: “Os course, I’ll dance with you, but if you don’t mind, won’t you please use your handkerchief ?” The man looked at her blankly a moment or t wo. Then a light broke over his face. “W T hy, certainly,” he said. And he pulled out his handkerchief and blew his nose. It’s about as hard to break some peo ple of bad habits as it is to break Malarial Fever when it once gets a firm hold upon one. Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio, says, “Simmons Liver Regulator broke a case of Malarial Fever of three years standing for me, and less than oue bottle did the business. I shall use it when in need of any medicine, and I re commend it.” w &3m M Urban Allan Myers Windom, Kan. Scrofula From Birth Other Medicines Utterly Failed But Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cured. “Some time since, our boy then four years old was in the hands of the family doctor for treatment for scrofula. He had been afflicted with this trouble from birth and we bad been unable to give him Only Temporary Relief. We decided to give him Hood’s Sarsapa rilla and are glad to say 6 bottles of Hood’s entirely cured him. Our oldest daughter has been taking Hood’s Sarsa parilla for rheumatism with good results. We have used from first to last some flO worth of the medicine and have received the equivalent of several hundred dollars’ worth of doctor’s treatment and good Hood’s Cures health to boot. We cannot speak too highly of Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a blood purifier. It is all that is claimed for It.” c. E.
