The Rhode Island election has resulted
in a complete victory for the cause of Pro
tection, and as such it is a matter for re
joicing. The contest there achieved a
prominence disproportionate to the size of
the State on account of the magnitude of
the issues involved and because it sounded
the keynote of the Presidental campaign.
The result demonstrates that the Demo-
rratic delusion called "tariff reform"-has
no charms for the masses, and that thg
enemies of protected industries are grow
ing beautifully less in the manufacturing
States.
Strenuous efforts were made in Rhode
Island by both parties. Before the elec
tion each was loud in its expression of the
important part the result would play as an
indicator of the direction in which votes
would go in November. Viewed from
this standpoint the overwhelming success
of the Republican party carries encour
agement into the Protectionist camp while
it foreshadows defeat for the Tariff re
ducers. The Democrats based their hopes
in large measure on the operatives whom
they endeavored to cajole by oratorical
sophistry. But the workmen were wise
enough to see that their personal interests
were identical with those of the nation
at large, and they refused to be misled.
But rejoicing in success attained must
not be allowed to diminish the efforts put
forth for new victories. The struggle was
close enough to indicate the necessity for
Individual and combined exertion on the
part of all who believe that national com
mercial independence is a matter of su
preme importance. Rhode Island has
gone in the right direction, and it remains,
for larger and more important. States to
follow the example. i
BETTER THAN NOTHING.
The House Committee on Railways and
Canals yesterday reported favorably an
appropriation of 5100,000 for the survey of
a ship canal from the Great Lakes to the
Hudson river. As recognizing the import
ance of Internal waterways this is a step
in the right direction. But it would have
been far better had the appropriation been
for the furtherance of a canal to connect
Pittsburg with Lake Erie. The Dispatch
has emphasized the superior importance
of the latter project over the former. But,
although the committee has chosen for the
first place the schem- of secondary im
portance, a wedga has been inserted in the
mass of Congressional indifference which,
properly handleu, will open the way for
the more important measure. If our
Representatives bestir themselves as they
should, the Pittsburg and Erie Canal
ought not to be kept waiting long for
Government assistance.
BOTH TO BE BEAMED.
Hill's devoted henchman, Prof. Collin,
of Cornell University, recently made a
statement that "The man who sells his
vote for money is more to bo respected
than the man who stays away from the
polls and does not vote." This is a re
markably bold assertion which admits a
readiness among machine politicians to
profit by human weakness wherever they
can safely do so.
The fact is that citizens of either class
described by the Professor are unworthy
of their franchise. There is not a great
deal to choose between them,but the nega
. live crime of selfish indolence cannot in
itself be considered worse than the posi
tive one of corrupt voting for personal
gain with an utter disregard of the
effect on public interests. On the
other hand, the results of the former
offene are further reaching than those of
the latter. For, with a proper attention
to the duties of citizenship on the part of
those who would scorn to take a bribe of
money or patronage, the corrupt voter
would be of so little value as to be driven
from the market The sins of omission
and commission are such as to rob those
guilty of either of all claim to respect
The Professor omitted to mention the
status of the politician whose tactics offer
chances for the, latter form of offense.
He, too, is the result of the apathetic
franchise holder. We need purity in our
government, but we shall never obtain it
until voters individually and en masse ex
ercise their rights of franchise according
to their judgment and their sense of
honesty.
a conoiPor.Ap.rs bad break.
Our esteemed cotemporary, the New
York Commercial Advertiser, is always
bright except when it undertakes the
function of apostle of the cause of David
Bennett HilL When it shoulders that
burden it very clearly discloses the fact
that it is straying into devious paths.
The Memphis Appeal-Avalanche unbur
dened its mind to the effect that there are
a large number of men in the Democratic
party better calculated to deal with public
questions than Hill, and mentioned among
them "Wilson, of West Virginia; Harter, of
Ohio; Tracy, of New York; Campbell, of
Ohio; Pattison, of Pennsylvania; Russell,
of Massachusetts; Boies, of Iowa; Palmer
and Morrison, of Illinois, could be named."
The Commercial Advertiser thereupon
t brings itself to grief with the following
comment:
As for "Tracy of New York," any pupil of
the Memphis public school might nave In
formed the able editor that -he is a Bepnb-
Hcan ana a member of Mr. Harrison's Cabi
net. And this lack of information sooras to
permeate the entire article from which the
above is quoted. The public will be apt to
smilo at the statement that Wilson, of West
Virginia, BnsselL of Massachusetts, and the
noisy Hartor, of Ohio, are better equipped
public men than Senator Hill.
There is certainly provocation for smiles
in this exchange of opinions, but the
smiles will not be at the expense of the
Memphis paper. If the esteemed Com
mercial Advertiser was not sufficiently in
formed of the recent silver fight to recog
nize one of the leaders against free
coinage on the Democratic side, it might
have taken the trouble to consult a Con
gressional list in order to discover that the
Democratic Congressman representing the
district in -which the capital of its own
State isjpcated is Hon. Charles Tracey, of
Albany, who is now serving his second
term.
After which it seems pertinent io adopt
its own language, and say that the same
lack of information seems to permeate its
denial that Wilson, Russell and Harter
are better equipped public men than Hill.
They may not be his equal in setting up
conventions and manipulating elections;
but national leadership, and clear and sin
cere opinions on national issues are more
important than the arts of machine pol
itics. STRIVE TO BE CLEAN.
Spring is the season of hope and in one
direction in particular it should be the
time for vigorous action. It is these days
of deceptive weather whch are especially
disastrous in producing. receptivity for
the countless hordes of bacteria and dis
ease germs which surround the best regu
lated communities. Custom has made
this the time for house-cleaning, and
scrubbing brushes and whitewash now
rightly reign supreme. Many are the
drains in this city which would be the bet
ter for a thorough overhauling, and far
from scarce are 'the spots where the ab
sence of disinfectants endangers public
health.
At all times agitation for the abolition
of crowded tenements and lodging rooms,
for the betterment of our water supply,
and the establishment of public bath and
wash houses is in order. It is peculiarly
so just now. If -we must wait for the
elimination of dirt from our atmosphere,
let us at least keep it as far as possible
from our water, our homes, our streets
and our publio conveyances. If people
-would but be persuaded to devote half as
much attention to the pursuit of health as
they do to dollar-chasing the effect on
rates of mortality would very soon be
come apparent Prodigality in soap and
water and all the materials of cleanliness
is one of the truest forms of economy.
Cleanliness not only comes next to godli
ness,but it is the very essential of all health.
We have a teeming city and it behooves
us to bestir ourselves to cleanse it as far
as possible.
GRAND ARMY RELIEF.
The action of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of the Grand Army in coming to the
relief of the starving Russians is one well
worthy of emulation by that body through
out the country. It is peculiarly fitting
that men united by a feeling of comrade
ship, called forth by a devotion to patriotic
duty, should respond to the call for relief
from their suffering fellow men.
Inasmuch as the Russian system of gov
ernment is responsible in a large measure,
if not entirely, for the present disaster,
it is a little unfortunate that so much
prominence in making the gift should
have been riven to the recognition of
the Government's friendly action during
tne uivu war. it would nave been better
had the flour been forwarded simply as a
token of active sympathy with suffering
human beings. The condition of affairs is
in itself an all-sufficient reason for humane
liberality.
But the help is needed, and the more of
it that is received the greater will be the
relief of the peasantry. Perhaps, too, by
this practical recognition of the wisdom
and justice of its action in supporting our
Constitution, the Russian Government
may learn that by seeking to alleviate the
lot of-its peasantry it will, find the surest
way to our friendship.
A SUGGESTION FROM OLYMPUS.
The latest thing in the Idea of athletics
is to propose in London a quadrennial
competition of all the English-speaking
nations of the world in athletic games, in
which all nationalities can take part, with
an Olympic crown for the victor. Thus it
is proposed to get back to the character
istic feature of classical life.
It suggests a rather unfortunate classifi
cation of the attempt to revive classic
glories that it selects the one feature of
Grecian ambition that conveys no lesson
and makes no impression in history. We
know that the Olympic competitions were
great features of ancient life. Perhaps
the cultivation of bodily vigor and the per
fection of chariot driving had a more di
rect utility in fitting the Grecian youth for
the defense of their country than rowing,
football or fast-horsemanship now have.
But the man who should study history to
find out the character of the winners in,
the various Olympiads, as we do of Milti
ades, Leonidas, Epaminondas, Pericles,
Demosthenes or Plato, would be little bet
ter than stupid. In the early part of the
century the study of Grecian patriotism
and Grecian literature was held to be the
education of statesmen. To-day It seems
that the English society has got down to
the emulation of the athletes and prize
fighters. But is there not a suggestion in this that
may take us further? A few centuries of
Olympiads brought the ancient world to
the pass where somethingmofe sensational
was required. The result in Roman civili
zation took the form of gladiatorial com
bats and the devouring of captives by wild
beasts. In this age we make in a genera
tion the progress of a century in ancient
times. Is it not calculated to give cause
to the enthusiastic athletes of the present
to reflect that their great grandchildren
may have to slay each other in the arena
to meet the popular demand for public
games?
Ko doubt the Hill organs will point to
the Rhode Island result as due to Cleve
land's exertions. There Is every evidence
that had the Democratic leadership devolved
on any one else the party would have suf
fered a far more crushing defeat. A poli
tician who stubbornly refuses to define his
position on the silver question is not the
man to excite enthusiasm or even to evoke
any trust as a Presidental possibility.
England will be wise to increase her
World's Fair appropriation to $300,000, as it
Is said she intends to do. It takes her a
long time to see wherein her Interests lie
but better late than never.
It now appears that our Consul in one of
the Caroline Islands is persona turn grata to
Spain for similar reasons to those which
made Kgnn, objectionable to Chile. Since
Spain to-day can compare with us for
strength liardly more favorably than Chile,
no doubt the Administration will be in no
hurry to recall Mr. Band as a matter of dip
lomatic courtesy.
If there be any situation more comfort
less than Hill's to-day it ia the one he will
occupy when Ills machine-made delegates
reach the Chicago Convention.
"Tennyson would rather sit up all night
to read a novel than to spend an hour on an
original poem." Why on earth does he not
give way to his inclination? Perhaps he
does, and that is why his Into efforts have
the appearance of being composed at odd
moments when he felt to ill to do anything
else.
Habby Vane Mtlbaxk has shaken
the dust of America from his feet. He never
will be missed, and the fact that he enter
tains a poor opinion of our country Is de
cidedly to its credit.
The New York street "cleaning" depart
ment is now amusing Itself by throwing
dust inte the eyes of the men supposed to be
its masters.
By all means let every crookedness in the
Pension Office be disclosed. But Commis
sioner Baum should understand that two
wrongs do not make a right, and if he prove
the guilt of a dozen Congressmen he will
still have his own record to explain.
It is probable that more crimes are being
Imputed to Deeming than he is guilty of.
There is no doubt, however, that evidence
enough is forthcoming to insure his execu
tion. Allegheny councils elected a Controller
last night, and their actions showed the ne
cessity for a keeper.
President Habrison will no doubt find
tree planting in the White House grounds
with baby McKee a good substitute for the
postponed duck hunting exercise. But it
must be terribly tamo work as a sequel to
the composition of ultimata.
It should be noted that the main obect
of spring bonnets and hats is the display
of gayly bright colors, and not the covering
or protection of the wearers' heads.
This is the time for the laying of new
carpets by man and of fresh eggs by the
barnyard hen.
NewYobk has not yet gotten rid of
typhus fever. The city has probably real
ized by this time that it is mneh easier to
keep out infected Immigrants than to sup
press their disease when once they are

The new Ordinance Officer has made in
formations against two leadlngcoal firms for
selling short measure. He shows a commed
able fearlessness of the big guns.
The ways of Providence are inscrutable,
and Democrats will acknowledge the fact in
future.
Ravachol, recently arrested in Paris
for murder, robbery and complicity in the
dynamite outrages, is reported as saying:
"No Anarchist begs, and I won't work." He
is evidently a fit subject for the guillotine.
Among other Spring cleanings the in
auguration of a systematic flushing out of
hydrants, to free them from accumulated
mud, is a much needed reform.
The Rhode Island election Is likely to
prove the last straw to break the Campbell's
back.
The report that Blaine Is undergoing

POLITICS IN THE PULPIT.
Breaks Are Ofttimrs Disastrous to (he Fas
tor and tho Church.
Philadelphia Bulletin. 1
In several recent gatherings of denomina
tional sects there have been some notable
arguments in favor of a more active partici
pation, by ministers of the gospel. In munic
ipal politics and improvements. The Rev.
Dr. McConnell, of St. Stephen's Episcopal
Church, is ono of the best known advocates
of such a departure. His arguments, which
are generally relovent and sound, were prac
tically reiterated by Dr. Robert H. Fulton at
the recent meeting of the Presbyterian Min
isterial Union, at their rooms on Chestnut
street, in a paper entitled "The Relation of
the Pulpit Toward Civil and Municipal
Problems.'" The drift of this paper was
toward the conclnsion that an assumption
of the dignity of the cloth was not a renun
ciation of the responsibilities of private
citizenship, and its logic, if not its expres
sion, was that the formeract tended to make
the citizen's obligations more binlng and
impressive.
We are not disposed to quarrel with these
conclusions. The learning, experience and
piety comprised within the clerical profes
sion strongly entitle their possessors to be
come active in promoting gieat public ends.
It is an absurdity on its face to appoint
them counsellors in private moral affairs
and then to deny them the right to be heard
on public questions, which concern them
as much as us. The question becomes one
not of their right of participation, which is
conceded, but to the extent to which they
may participate with dignity, and when and
how they are to suggest, approve or con
demn. No one desires the pulpit turned
into a political stump: hence that is not the
Jilace even for argument against improper
egislatlon. Neither can personalities be
indulged in there, for the effect of theso is
always to divide the congregation and In
jure the chuch. If churches were organized
on political grounds the pastor of a Demo
cratic congregation might allude disparag
ingly to "Grandfather's hat" without injur
ing bis influence in other directions; and his
Bepublican neighbor might touch on the
"Stuffed Prophet of William street" with
equally indifferent results. But they are
happily not so organized, and breaks of that
kind are alike disastrous to the preacher
who essays them and to the church.

SOME AFFAIRS OF STATE.
The District of Colombia and the Grand
Army Reunion Favorable Report on
a Canal Appropriation for New York
New Postmasters Named by the Presi
dent. Washington, April 7. Senator McMil
lin to-day offered an amendment to the dis
trict bill appropriating $75,000 for the recep
tion and entertainment of the next encamp
ment of the G. A. B. in Washington one
nnlf of the amount to bo paid from the
Treasury and the other out of the revenues
of the District of Columbia provided that
no part of the appropriation shall be availa
ble until $60,000 has been raised by popular
subscription and expended. Mr. McMillln
offered (for himself) a substitute appropri
atlng'$100,000 for the same purpose. Mr.Har
ris and Mr. Vest opposed the proposition.
Congress, they said, had nothing to do with
the matter. The citizens of the district had
invited the G. A. B. hero and'should pay the
bills. Mr. Cookrell offered an amendment
that the whole amount should be paid exclu
sively out of the revenues of the District
of Columbia. Mr. Peffer understood that
the people of this city had invited the old
soldiers to come and hold their national en
campment hero, had bid lor their coming,
and had promised to entertain them. But
the citizens of Washington were not
authorized by Congress to say that the peo
ple of the wholn nation would pay the ex
pense. He would, however, take one night
to consider what his soldier friends of
Kansas might ask him to do in the matter.
He would take time to think abont it, and
if, In the end, his vote should be in favor of
the appropriation, it would be under his
own personal protest and in obedience to
the wishes of those who stood behind him.
The matter went over, therefore, without
action, after Mr. Hawley had given notice
of an amendment placing the expenditure
under the control of the Secretary of War.

1HE PAPAL BEHEDICTI05.
Text of Recent Correspondence Between
Cardinal Gibbons and Leo XIII.
Baltimore, April 7. The Catholic Mirror of
this week will contain the following corre
spondence between Cardinal Gibbons and
the Holy Father:
"Most Holt Fathzb When, toward the
close of the last year, on the occasion of the
golden JubUee of the Most Bev. Arohbisbop
Kenrick we met together in St. Louis to dis
cuss various matters of Catholic interest,and
especially such as had contributed to ex
tend that interest in this country, the acts
and favors of the Holy See regarding this
part of the Lord's flock were amontr the
principal things that occurred to us. and It
was consequently the unanimous sentiment
among ns that an early letter shonld be sent
to Your Holiness bearing the expressions of
our gratitude, while we at the same time im
plore the Giver of all good gifts to vouch
safe long to preserve so great a Pontiff to
the Catholic world.
"Passing over other matters we need
hardly say how much light Your Holiness'
recent encyclical letter has thrown on social
questions closely connected with the good
of religion since its wisdom has been ap
parent even to many who are not of the
faith. However, if we are not mistaken it
would seem that several things whloh it con
tains were especially written for the good of
this country, and for this reason have been
productive of much good fruit among us.
"There was yet another matter which we
recognized with no less pleasure: A ground
less fear had taken possession of many
minds lest what was being commonly cir
culated about 'National Bishops,' though
without any foundation whatever, shonld
be reduced to practice. We did all in our
power to dispel this idle apprehension, and
especially when we saw the matter bitterly

WORE 07 OHIO LAWMAKERS.
Street Railways to Have a Whack at 99
Year Franchises.
Columbus, O., April 7. Special. Twenty
three towns and small cities In Ohio have
been authorized by the present Legislature
to construct water woiks. The latest is
Bridgeport, Belmont county, which It em
powered by a bill passed by the House to
day to Issue $6,000 bonds and ereot a plant.
The McConnell Sunday anti-shaving bill
was to-day made a law, the House- agreeing
to the Senate's amendments. The original
bill Increased the penalty for a violation of
the common la Dor law, ana tne senate re
duced the penalty to the same fine which is
proscribed for the violation of the law
which prohibits any labor on the Sabbath
dav.
The Spencer bill to authorize City Coun
cils to grant 99 years' franchises to street
railroad companies came up as a special or
der. The bill provides that such companies
shall pay a certain per cent of their gross
annual receipts into tnelr city treasury,
but shall be released from certain restric
tions and special taxes and assessments,
such as paying for street paving between
their tracks. There was considerable dis
cussion on the bill. The friends claimed it
was a plain business proposition, and would
enable cities to receive cash for these
franchises where they got nothing
now. It would make the stock of street
railroads more valuable. The opponents of
the bill claimed the bill was granting away
the rights of n future generation, and there
would bs no remedy when once the City
Councils entered into contracts with the
railroad corporations. They claimed the
bill was in the interest of street car com
panies and not the people. These- corpora
tions had Influential representatives in the
lobby working for them, but the cities had
none except the Senators themselves. The
bill was passed by a vote of 20 to 7, and
clinched by defeating a motion to 1 econslder
the vote.
The Senate passed the anti-Adams Ex
picss bill, cutting off a long Dieco of its
stinger. Shortly after the Adams Express
Company discharged a number of Its em
ployes tor belonging to nn organization, a
bill was introduced imposing a penalty of
$500 and ono year in tho penitentiary npon
anv company for discharging employes on
such grounds. Mr. Forbes amended the bill
reducing the penalty to $100 or six months
in jail. The bill as amended received 20
votes and was passed.
DEATHS HERE AXD ELSEWHERE,
James Gallagher, Steubenville.
James Gallagher, agea S3, died at Steubenville yes
terday, being an Invalid for oyer 60 years. James
Gallagher was born in Philadelphia, and when 10
years of aue his mother came here and apprenticed
lilm to Joseph Walker, the pioneer saddler and
harness maker of Eastern Ohio. In 1830 Mr. Galla
gher, with another saddler, loaded the first flat
boat and sent it flown the Obloladrn with flour,
salt, etc. The trip was so successful that he re
mained In tliat business for several years. On one of
his return trips Mr. Gallagher came from Natchez
to SteubenTille on horseback to avoid the cholera.
He met with an accident about this time, which
crippled him so tbat for over 60 years he was
obliged to walk with two canes. For the past 55
years a sketch of Mr. Gallagher's life Is simply a
sketcn of the banking business of the city. He,
with others, reorganized tbe second bank here,
which became known "as the Jefferson Branch
Bank. Its existence was at one time so precarious
that men like William Means, James Gallagher
and WllUam Kllgore carried a large part
of the assets around in their pockets to
prevent them being seized. Those were exciting
political times, ana the trouble was settled by the
United btates Supreme Court deciding In favor
of the bank, which ruling Is still regarded as the
supreme law of bank taxation. Since then Mr.
Gallagher has been a Justice of the Peace, one of
the Incorporators of the Pennsylvania Hues of the
Sonthnest system and other large enterprises.

TRIFLES FOB EASTER.
Costly and Dainty Gifts in Paper, Glass,
Pine Fabrics and Precious Metals Hat
Platea for Men Shadow Draperies for
Houses Gossip of Social Circles.
Easter, like Christmas, is a time for the
giving and receiving or souvenirs of friend
ship and affection. This year Easter gifts
are different from those tbat have been seen
in the past, in that they are so much daintier
and are invariably in harmony with the
season. There Is a great deal of religion and
poetry to be noticed In the gifts this year.
Easter admits of pretty sentiments and
pious thoughts embodied in presents, and
every advantage Is being taken of this fact.
Nearly all Easter cards this year take the
form of booklets, dainty little folios, about
3 inches by 2, the covers being flowers. The
flowers are generally buttercups, daisies,
violets, clover and other field blossoms.
There are some books larger than these, but
none exceed 8 by 3 inches, or thereabouts.
Inside these booklets are Bible verses and
pastoral poetry. Other books are bound In
white leatherette, embossed with wreaths of
pnrple violets and other Easterflowers. The
few Easter cards proper that are made are
of tbe regular fashion a square, single card,
with flowers, verses, landscapes, etc. Some
people demand the old-fashioned forms of
Easter souvenirs. So for them there are the
hens on baskets of eggs, with the chicks
peeping out, ducklings swimming In real
cedar tubs with brass rims, rabbits, and all
the rest of the barnyard denizens that break
out In shop windows at Easter.
Dainty Gifts in Silver.
Silver is being used considerably in letter
openers shaped like daggers, shields, swords
and other deadly weapons. There are cat
glass smelling salts, witn silver stoppers,
running from $1 75 up; dainty silver hair
pins, match boxes, stamp boxes, card cases,
square and of "satin finish," some chased
and others perfectly plain. Most of the sil
ver Is bright finish, very little oxydized be
ing used this spring. Something new comes
in the shape of hatbands for gentlemen.
Tbey are small silver plates that fit Into the
crown of the hat with a pin of their own.
The plato has a fancy border with a plain
space in tbe center on which Is engraved tbe
owner's name. A chatelaine to be fastened
to a lady's belt is a silver fleur de lys or bow
knot, while gifts for gentlemen are of all
shapes and uses. Pen wipers of various
shades of chamois skin, representing lilies
and other flowers, and clasped in the middle
with silver ornaments, are favoritps. An
Easter souvenir spoon is called a Illy spoon,
while another specimen is an Easter spoon.
Easter stationery is of various kinds, with
tint3 generally blue. Fashion is trying to
bring forward a color called "Eoyal Purple."
It Is selling very well. It has a linen finish,
and looks very ranch like the Bedford cord
that is so popular for ladles' dresses. In
visiting cards the large square card for tbe
miss is tbe thing, while for older people Is a
card somewhat smaller and slightly oblong.
Gentlemen's cards are smaller and more
oblong, as they have been for years. All
cards are plain-edged, the bevel and gilt be
ing decidedly ont of date.
Easter Draperies for Interiors.
Easter draperies for the home come in all
shades of yellows, the most popular being
"shadow drapery," which was so much ad
mired by Edward Bussell, the apostle of art.
This material was designed by Miss Dora
Wheeler, of Hew York, about a year ago. It
costs $3 a yard, and Is very narrow,
portieres reaching $40 a pair. This
material is used by some fortunate
women for house dressing, it making
np elegantly in that wav. While cards and
booklets will be given to a great extent: the
taite in Easter presents seemtorun toward
things that can be used, and particularly
that can be carried on shopping expedit'ons,
etc.
Eater flowers will be lavishly bestowed
this Easter. The florists are preparing for
a rush, and expeo; to be sold out before
Easter Sunday dawns. The flowers will be
given, as they have been for several yeara
past, just ns they are gathered, the taste
for formally arranged bouquets, baskets,
crosses, etc., having disappeared.
Ladies always expect to be arrayed in new
bonnets and rinery at Easter, but this year
the gentlemen nro not to be neglected.
There are numberless designs in Easter
neckties, and the hnshands. fathers and
brothers of the gorgeous creatures in Easter
millinery will be allowed one bright spot of
color unaer tneir coins.

GBAHT FOND OF CABBAGE,
The First Square Meal to His Liking After
, His Tonr of the World.
Chicago, April 7. An unpublished story
or General Grant was told to-day at tho
Grand Pacific Hotel by Paul Gores. "I was
steward at the Palmer Houso," he said,
"when tho ex-President stopped there on
his leturn from the tour of the world. One
noon I was all but stupefied nt seeing Gen
eral Grant creep in at the kitchen door as If
escaping f 1 om someone.
" I am sorry to trouble you,' he sa'd, but
may I have a little corn beef and cabbage ?'
"'Why, certainly, I replied, 'but shall I
not send It to you out in tbe dining room?'
"'No,' he answered, 'I'll eat it right here
lfyonletmesltdown at this table.' So I
cleared away n place on tho rough board
table where the cooks had been fixing tho
meat, drew him up a stool, and tne way he
got away with that corn beef and cabbage
made my eyes bulge. When he had finished
he laid down his knife and fork with a fanny
sigh of satisfaction, put his hand on my
shoulder, and said:
" 'Young man, I suppose you don't caro
for that at all: but if yon had-had to eat
what I have for the patt low months it
would taste like a dinner for the Gods.'
"Tbe poor old fellow had dined with every
body from the Queen down and tbat cabbage
in my kitchen did him more good than all
the rest together."
