UUP. WARHIN3T0N LETTER.
(From our Rtf&ulnr Corrosiomlont.)
Mr. Cleveland has returned from
his ouMug. Oidy churl would grudge
him the relaxation he has enjoved.
lor, tlioun he may exert himself to
an extent may be deemed "unncces"
Har. he is the jiule of his own af
fairs and his own .opinion must be
his rule of action. Jt does not ap
pear, I regret to say. that the spurt
at Hog Island was delicious' excit
ing this time. List year when Mr,
'Cleveland visited the island the. en-
r'.ptured Jenkins detailed to jhnn- j
icle his movements telegraphed on?1''
one occasion that he had "brought
down fifty-three at a single shot
No such tilling story has regaled us
in the Resent' instance. I alwa s I
bad my misgivings as to th;.se
"snipe." However. Presidents shoot
as other men may never do. and it
may 1)2 believed that truly pitriotie
snipe would he-dtatJ to throw obatac- j
les in such an august pathway. Hut
with ut the smallest reference to the
snipe, the fish, or, generally, the
creatures of the water and the air. he
must have -enjoyed and .renovated
himself to a yery great extent. And
business will now go on with added
energy. "
"Cleveland's man Eckels," whove
appointment as controller of curren
cy caused so much surprise and crit
itio'sm on account of las lack of ex-
perience. is proving more of a sur- j
prise than was dreamed of. The in-;
dications are that he is going to
prove a preUy good find for the nd-
ministratton.
It is evident that he
is not a politician, and if he does not
mnk things hum in his oiliee it will
oc strange. He is one of the busiest,
most direct and clean cut little man
who has lu-en tossed into the public
service 1)3 political evolution. There
is nothing 4stnking" about his ap
pearance; nothing impressive. lie is

scarcely i ruore than a hundred pounds.-

that is refreshing. Some or tue Sen-
ilemen doing a shaly banking busi
ness who had calculated on gaining
something from his unexperici.ee
have found him about as hard a cus.

Hv his manlv, straightforward course
he has "ot toWtbe'favorite of news
