WASHINGTON LETTER.
"Washington , D. C. , Nov. 23 , ' 84.
You may imagine if you can what
we shall do with our mad patients
when the Government thieves begin
to set up the plea of insanity to rid
themselves of due punishment for
their crimes. Not a saner man than
Col. Burnside could be found in
Washington during the time that he
was stealing the Government's mon
ey , and no society at the Capital was
too elevated to open its arms to re
ceive him. As soon as it became in
evitable that his conviction for steal
ing was to follow his crime , the plea
of insanity is put up and the epaulet-
ed crank goes to the Government In
sane Asylum , there to remain until
public forgetfulness shall make his
absence from that institution easy to
be borne.
The change in the administration
that will take place on the 4th of
March next is a change that has not
had its counterpart in the history of
the Government. We have had a
Democratic administration before
with an opposition Congress and we
have had a Democratic Congress a
majority of Democrats in both Houses
against a Whig administration but
never before has there been an in
stance when the administration had
the House alone to back it , and the
Senate to tie its hands and dictate its
appointments. Such is the position ,
or rather the dilemma , in which Pres
ident Cleveland will find himself on
inauguration day , when he sends the
names of his cabinet members to a
Republican Senate for confirmation.
I know of no existing reason why Mr.
Cleveland's cabinet should not be
confirmed without question , but mat
ters between now and the 4th of
March may .assume such a shape as
will make it possible that some names
may be objectionable on the score of
patronage.
And right here it may not be amiss
to say that Mr. Cleveland's ideas of
Civil Service Reform is one thing , and
the demand for a thorough cleaning
out of the clerical as well as the bu
reau force in the departments , is quite
another. Mr. Cleveland will be hand
icapped in this matter as no previous
President has been. He cannot by
any possibility enforce the provisions
of the Civil Service law and satisfy
the greedy demands of not one but
two political organizations that will
demand recognition for their contri-
jutions to his success. It is well
enough for Mr. Curtis to set up a
standard of merit by which the pres
ent Federal office-holders will be re
tained , but Mr. Cleveland will not be
so weak-kneed as to pay any attention
to it , and if he did the Tyler adminis
tration would be repeated , even if
Mr. Cleveland should not encounter
bis Brutus for his imbecility.
Washington is to be the home of a
new Homeopathic Hospital in which
he Hahnemann is to be the rule of
practice distinctively. The movers
Df this great enterprise are some of
Washington's best men arid women ,
who are actively engaged in promot
ing a grand National Homeopathic
Fair , to be inaugurated on the 15th
of December next , to last six days.
This will be a magnificent display ,
and so attractive that its projectors
anticipate a patronage that will go far
toward accomplishing the great object
for which it is to be held.
DOM PEDRO.
THE reward of the fool is often a
terrible one , and the man who is in
the habit of carrying a pistol is the
biggest fool and is the most fearfully
rewarded. In Baltimore the other
evening a young fool named Leopold
proposed to and was accepted by
Miss Winterbauer , the most beautiful
young woman in the city. He knew
pf no way to vent his triumphant joy
but by hauling out his pistol and
whirling it about. It exploded and
fatally wounded the giri who had just
promised to be his wife. Topics.
A CONNECTICUT farmer of 72 , a
wealthy widower , married a young
wife , and as is the usual habit in such
cases , all his children immediately
united in a petition to the court to
declare him insane and have him lock
ed up. The old man appeared before
the jury with a sweet and handsome
young woman on his arm. The jury ,
all of whom were old codgers them
selves , found him sane without leav
ing their scats.
"BLACK EYES , " says a physiological
journal , "show a lively , passionate
temperament/ ' That may be true , as
an abstract proposition of the elegy ,
but in the concrete form of wild west
ern civilization , in these post-election
times , a lively , passionate tempera
ment is very likely to show black
eyes. Topics.
