That " Leng Jehn" Wentworth, of Chi- cage, should pay (10,000 for a cemetery let, -. with the Intention of erecting upon It a ; heroic statue of himself is probable, be cause it Is characteristic of the man. He has been doing eccentric things all his life, which have mnde him different from ether men ; and there Is net the least reason why he should net continue te de se te the end of his days. It is given te few men te be mero thor oughly themselves than te "Leng Jehn " Wentworth. Fer nearly fifty years he has been one of the figures of Chicago. Leav ing New Hampshire when nlmest a boy he had the judgment and prescience te settle in Chicago when it was no mere than a hamlet. Even as a young man he seen be came prominent. With a small patrimony, he had mero education and culture than the average pioneer of that day, Bnd enough character te make himself a place without the delay which discourages se many aspiring young men. He edited the first paper In Chicago, and seen became premi nent in business and politics. He served In Congress while Clay, "Webster, Calhoun and Benten were the principal figures in our politics, and continued in public life until after the advent of Lincoln and his regime. He was net only in public llfe during all this time, but was nctive in every move ment which had for its purpese the promo tion of Chicago and the West. The ship ping interests of the great lakes ewo mero te Jehn Wentworth than te all the "Western men combined. It was he who early rec ognized their importance, and insisted upon liberal appropriations for hnrbers, light-houses, and similar matters of value te the mariner. The commercial interests of Chicago have been forwarded every possible way, while the educational, reli gious and social aspects of the city have alJ'8 found encouragement in him. He 1'pJcen active i.i gathering everything of iBa&rical interest or value, and has him. arcd many papers en this imper- lestien. n man should have a statue in t demand or admit of dis- the people of that city would erect one must be assumed. J5ut it is much mero characteristic of the man that he sheild de just as lie proposes te de by erect ing it himself. It Is te be a heroic statue. But it could hardly be otherwise if it rep resents the man only as he is. His gigan tic stature of six feet, ten Inches, with a weight of three hundred and fifty pounds, and his rugged featuxes, indicative of strong character, cannot fail, if faithfully reproduced in marble or bronze, te be im pressive. But Jehn "Wentworth, with his immense fortune, made by his own energy and foresight, and bristling all ever with peculiarities as he does, knows that he deserves a statue, and he gees about it In such a way that he knows he will get it and knows what he will get. "When he makes a political speech or delivers a lec ture,!) simply hires a hall, has it lighted, pays his own ushers, introduces himself, makes his speech and gees about his busi ness.! It is only natural that he should de the same tiling about his own statue. It will simply add one mere te the big list of anecdotes about one of the ablest and most eccentric men of his time. m - - Se More October States. Thepcopleof Ohie will vote this fall upon n constitutional amendment, the effect of which if passed will be te take their state out of tie list of se-called " October states," in which it is new the only one left. Indiana has already done this ; West Virginia, tee, and Ohie will no doubt fellow. This Is a wise step, and the result ac complished will be beneficial te the politics of the whele country. Nothing has been mere demoralizing than the Influencoef the early elections en these which nre te fellow, and the smaller became the num ber of these October states the mero tre mendous the pressure upon them and the ranker the ensuing demoralization. Speakers and money have been gathered for them and have poured Inte them from every side, whlle the canvass elsowhere steed still. Net only is a state everslaughed by foreign influ ences, but tens nud hundreds of thousands of voters all ever the country Instead of making up an independent judgment and standing by nn intelligent, individual opin ion, wait te see in what direction the po litical currents tend, and are ready te fellow. Ohie will no doubt go out of the list new, and political morals will be promoted by the charge. lilt u'.CrcafMnny. Frcsldent Cleveland's stinging letter te a mm who deceived him by recommending ea paper an appointment which he did net want made, Is a well-deserved rebuke, net only te the Individual te whom it Is ad dressed but te thousands like him nil ever the country. The cownrdiee and reclchssness which men Ot Intluence and intelligence exhibit in signing every petition and recommenda tion presented tq tiieni , are shocking. Their imposition upon these te whom such petl. tiens are addressed nud presented is vile.

Don't sign petitions unless you nre In earnest. Mr. Jenes as an Issne. Aqullla Jenes, postmaster of Indiannpo Indiannpe 11 s, must net expect the earth or any large fraction of it. He can net hepe te remain a great political issue and at the same time te be acquitted en the charge preferred against him by the dozen Mugwumps of Indiana. But he has been ncquittcd and must be content. This Is a perfectly natural result, which ought te have been apparent even te his accusers from the first. Mr. Jenes' offense lay in the fact that he organized the India napolis postefilco te suit, himself. He found himself responsible for Its manage ment; be he chose his own assistant, his own cashier, his own registered letter clerk and his own stamp sellers. Thcse are all important places the occupants of which handle money, and thus directly affect the postmaster's bend. The civil scrvlce law emitted thcse offices from the classified list, as it also did in the smaller places, It was plain from the first that Mr. Jenes had simply removed the in cumbents of thcse positions and filled the vacancies with Democrats. If he had re moved every employe of the office he would still have beeninside the law, which dee3 net presume or pretend te Interfere with removals. That Mr. Jenes made mistakes can net be questioned. The nppolntment of his sons was proof et this ; but the law could net and docs net take cognizance et mere blunders. Ills case would never have been presented te the president had he net been a resident of Mr. Hen dricks' town and known te be the friend and appointee of the vice president. Te the fact that seme superserviceable ene mies of the latter helped te make and print charges against him are due the noise and the Importance that have licen given this ease.

Councils, having found that it has no power te create a lean te extend the wnter main en Orange street, from Lime street westward, precipitately resolved te ask for bids for the construction of such a main, te be begun net later than October 1, and finished net later than June 15, 1SS0, when the work shall be paid for. However important and necessary the proposed work may be, this Is net the way te previde and pay for it. Such a resolu tion Is null and void ; what it proposes te de Is illegal and a contract made under It would stand in no court. There is no power in councils te order work te be done without making a previ ous appropriation for it. Sec. 22, page 08, of the city ordinances expressly declares " that no debt or contract made shall be binding unless an appropriation sufllcicnt te pay the same be jirevieusly made by councils." This wns net been done in this case. The Hershey resolution is ineffective.

One of the recent incidents In the presi dent's oxperionco with the docelvors of his own party soetns thus far te have oscaped ob servatien anu repert in Washington. It is an Interesting one, as the correspondence given below, and nbeut the authenticity of which no question need be asked, will show. When the president made the appointment of tue juuge rorerred te whose name cannot be montlened he did it upon rocemtnondatlon. Ife is oxtremoly cautious and has disregard ed n geed many well signed petitions, his oxperionco having taught him that It would be possible almost te get a list cf geed signa tures te a petition te hang the best man in the best place in Christendom. The Indersement of the applicant for the Judgeship rofcrred te in this corre spondence was unusually large and was doserlbcd as extremely honorable It was net a case that could be easily investigated, and, largely upon the alleged careful char acter or tnosingers, tue presiuent appoinieu the man nbeut whom the first lotler was pre pared. It soetns that the canldate would liave been se bad, se thoroughly unfit, that overybody felt free te sign for him, and the result or adopting this way of thinking wns that an unfit man was appointed and has ro re ro celvcd hl commission. Theso persens who have Interest enough In the matter te hunt up the appointments made about the date of tlie ursi lotter are at imerty te guess who this man Is.
