A London Taper Says It Shows the Presi
dent to Br a Man of Courage.
London. March 7. The Daily News
says editorially of President Cleve
land's inaugural address:
"It was worthy of the occasion,
which is recognized universally as by
for the greatest one that Americans
hate known since the civil war. He
read his countrymen a lesson on some
faults of the national character, while
doing full justice to their splendid
qualities, the faults of which are but
defects. After such an address nobody
can say that Democrats are to be gov
erned by flattery. The merit of the ad
dress lies in the courage of it. What
other ruler in Mr. Cleveland's place
would have dared to avoid the safe
path of obscurity and platitude and
give 1)0.000,000 people a piece of his
mind'.''

cles are ugdj over the fact that Senator
David B. Hilt spent nearly half art hour
id private CGfisitltatidti wiih President
Cleveland at the white iiduse.
The interview was. of course, of a
.strictly private character, but fro'm tic
fact that it had lven previously ar
ranged and from it- length, there can
be little doubt that it v. as of more than
a mere .social character
Mr. If ill. by virtue of his office as a
senator fro'm the stat of New York,
would lie obliged by the unwritten co'de
of official etiquette to call on a 'presi
dent elected by his party, unlcs-, the
personal relations lietween the two
were of such a character as to make a
personal visit out of the question. Hut
an official visit of this character would
not last more than a minute. TwenU
minutes is an unusual length for any
caller, no matter how distinguished, to
remain in the president's room during
his busy davs in the executive ma nsion.
I and If Mr. Hillund Mr. Cleveland talked
airy nothings for a third of an hour,
while a crowd of patriotic citizens wen
waiting to bs heard, they were partic

W)-en Mr. Hill had finished with the
president he lost no time in leaving the
white house and walked rapidly away
with Colonel John S. McEwan of Ituff

Cleveland's staff while the latter was

the legal tenders of loiW and l7't, but
that is not at all necessary for there is
no requirement that thc legal tenders
be redeemed in gold. Hut the solicitor
general was not prepared to recommend
the use of silver therefor, as it might
cause a panic, though it could undoubt
edly be done legally. The secretary
has the power to issue bonds, redeem
able either in gold or silver, the law
merely stipulating that they shall
lie redeemed in coin. This opinion
was never delivered as the occasion did
not arise for it. Mr. Aldrich is of tin
opinion that there is no positive provis
ion of the law requiring that the ?100.
000.000 gold reserve shall be kept in
tact. Ireland for Assiotant Treasurer.
Washington, Maivh 10. It is cur
rently reported in the hotel lobbies to
night that Colonel Frank Ireland of Xc
braska City will be tendered a "osition
as assistant secretary of the treasury

could not be found tonight to confirm
the .story.
Democratic Senators.
WA.siiiNGTON.March lo. Immediately
afterthe adjournment of the senate the
democratic caucus committee retired to
the room of Senator Hansom and re
mained iu session until l o'clock, at
which time it adjourned until 10 o'clock
in the morning. It was reported that
a general party caucus would he held
Saturday, but a member of the commit
tee said this afternoon that if the com
mittee did not make better headway
than it was now doing there would be
no caucus on that day. as the commit
tee would have nothing to report. It is
possible, though, that the committee on
privileges and elestirns may lie deter
mined upon first, so that if there should
lie any contests it can get to work upon
them as speedily as possible.
There was also a story out today that
the committee intended to report in fa
vor of a plan which should take all pat
ronage from the elective officers of the
senate and cause all appointments of
senate employes to Ik made by theeau
ens direct. In relation to this, howev
er, it is known that the committee has
had all it could do to eon-ider the im-
portant subject of the committee with
out going into other matters of the i
organization of the elective ofticeisofj
the senate and the reorganization of the j
clerical and working forces. It may be. i
though, that if gHl results grow out
of today's session, the committee may
call the caucus together Saturday and
make its report. Nominations are now
being laid over: members of the execu
tive branch of the government cannot
lie sworn in until they have been con
firmed, and cannot lie confirmed until
the senate has organized its commit
tees.

said Mr. Ilea -h. "and I am certain that
nothing that I or any of my friends

On the contrary. I am well sitistied
here and propose to stay unt-l I have
served out my term. Thc press of tin
state has spoken in very complimentary !
terms concerning my election, and the
only adverse comment was because I i

without foundation."

In the senate on the 4th a re.-es., was
taken till iukhi. On reassembling the
senators extended thatiks to Vice Presi
dent Morton lind President Pro Teui
Manderson. I'assed. After the inaug
ural ceremonies were overasenatecom
mittee was onlcred to wait on the presi
dent of the 1'nited States ami inform
him thai the senate was organized.
Then at 2:llt the senate adjourned until
Monday noon. In the house it was
broad day light when the last two con
ference reports on the sundry civil and
Indian appropriation bills were pre
sented. They were adopted and a
recess t ikcii until 10:."I0. After the
nvess the senate bill granting the
right of way through Indian ter
ritory to tin Inter-Oceanic railroad was
passed and a committee appointed to
wait on the president to inform him
that congress was ready to adjourn. A
resolution was unanimously adopted
returning thanks to Speaker Crisp, who
in return briefly and feelingly, thank
ing the members for their expression
of confidence and estcm. Then, after
the consideration of a few private meas
ures the speaker, when the elo -k indi
cated noon, although the correutnes.
of whi"h might have been impeached,
declared the house adjoiirnel sine die.
In the senate on the !ith Mr. Teller
presented tie credentials of Lee Man
tel. ap)oiiitcd by th governor of Mon
tana because of the failure of the legis
lature to elect a successr to Mr. San
ders. Mr. Teller asked tint they b
laid on the table for referenc to the
committee on privileges and elections
when chosen, in order that it might re
port tm the regularity of such nomina
tions, of which he understood there
were several. Mr. Manderson offered a
resolution declaring it to be the sense
of the senate that at this extraordinary
session the business transacted should
be confined to executive matters and
matters' requiring the action of the sen
ate only. Mr. Co-krell obfe-ted to the
immediate consideration ot the resolu
tion and it was ordered t') lie printed
and to lie over Mr. Hale offered a sub
stitute for Mr. Mandcison's resolution
declaring- that "no legislative busi
ness shall be received or enter
tained at the present session of the sen
ate." he subsequently modifying it by in
serting the words "except the realities."
Mr. Harris a iked Mr. Hale whether he
deemed it necessary to except the trea
ties. Did he consider the action of tlr
senate on a treaty as legislative busi
ness, in contradistinction t executive
business. Mr. Mcl'herson called atten
tion to the fa-t it might be necessary
toiequirc committees to peifirm cer
tain l:tlor looking to legislation an 1 he
inquired whether Mr. Manderson s res
olution or Mr. Hale's sibstit'ite would
exclude that being done. F-inlly the
whole matter went over until the next
meeting of the senate. After an ex
ecutive session the senate ajourned
until Mondftv.

but the campaign for the.mayoralty is
too hot to allow any of the politicians
to yfelrt to the enervating- influence.
Some Idea of th in teiebt being" taken
in tile campaign may be had from tht
statement of a manufacturer of candi
dates' buttons, who says that he has al
ready made nearly a million of them oa
orders, and that he expects much larger
orders as soon as the nominations are
mari-v A million campaign buttons
means a ccr to the candidatesof some

Postmaster Harlow is now makinr
the plans to connect the main postoflice
with the new Union depot, which is to
tje opened to traffic this year, by pneu-mati-
tub s. He will establish a branch
station at the depot, and by thc pneu
matic service make it pojsible for a ic
lated business man to drop his ma i ,n'
the box at tlu central station five mi;
tttes before the train for which it is Of
fended starts, with the certainty that
it will go without mivjarria-re. In a!"
large cities the time is consumed in the
postal business by the delays attending
the transmission of mail. Allowance
must le made for accidents to ,)ost-ii
wagons and stoppages by street block
ades. The pneumatic tubes do away
with all that, and the calculation- may
be made entirely on the time used ui

matter are shot a mile through ihe
