Cleveland's Veto Killed the Immigra tion Bill.—The Foolish Custom of Presidential Body Guard. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Washington, March, 5.—If Presi dent McKinley can succeed in mak ing his administration as brilliant as those who managed his inauguration, made that event, he can be re-elec ted almost unanimously, for it is generally admitted that it was one of the best managed and most brilliant inaugurations we have had, and that the crowd was larger than ever be fore. But there is a wide difference in arranging for an inauguration and in running an administration. An inauguration is a non partisan affair in which everybody joins hands to make it successful and enjoyable, while an administration always has partisan opposition outside its own party, and very often ins'de of it too. A noteworthy feature of this inaug uration was the fraternizing between the members of the outgoing and of the incoming administration. The inauguration parade was excellently handled, and the arrangements for the comfort of the two hundred and fifty thousand spectors were away ahead of anything in that line before, and the street decorations were not only more numerous hut much more tasteful. About the only adverse criticism heard is that too much money was spent, and that, of course, is a matter of opinion, just as it is whether President McKinley’s inaug ural address was weak or strong, statesmanlike or demagogic. One tiling is certain, visitors to Washing ton saw a great show, and, aside from those who stopped at hotels where style figures in the bill, they propably all feel that they got the worth of their money. The fickle Washington March weather was un usually kind to the visitors and the new administration. A decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, banded down this week, makes it Incumbent upon the McKinley ad ministration to prosecute the Three Friends, a vessel alleged to have been a filibuster, and its crew. This de cision reversed the judgement of Judge Luke, of the United State Courts, for the Southern District of Florida, under which the Three Friends was released, and the vessel will have to he seized again. This decision may result in an earlier showing of the McKinley policy to wards Cuba than was anticipated, but in any event, the action of the new Attorney General in this case will be watched with interest, as it had been unofficially stated that the new administration would not be as cealous in enforcing the neutrality law, whereas the Cleveland adminis tration was. The hustle and hustle incidental to the change of administration has left the serious charges against John Wedderburn Co. and a paper pub lished by them called the National Recorder, filed with the Postoffice Department by fifty odd prominent patent lawyers of Washington a few days ago, to be acted upon by the new Postmaster General. The men who make the charges are headed by four ex-Commissionere of Patents, and affidavits are submitted to show' that Wedderburn & Co. and their paper should be placed on the fraud list, for receiving money under false pretenses, and for violating the postal laws. John Wedderburn was the manager of the Kxaminer Claims Bureau and the Press Claims Co., both of which were mixed up in a suit brought by W. It. Hearst, and both of which figured to a considera ble extent in the advertising columns of newspapers a year or so ago. It seems that every member of the House in the Congress just closed who failed to get re-elected, and who belongs to President McKinley’s party is an applicant for office, and some of them are after very modest offices too. In one respect they have the advantage of the outsider; they know the ropes, but there are cases in which the chances for appoint ment are not enchanced by the appli cants being too well known to the ^appointing power. In order to ease the pressure a little it has teen an- lounced that no appointments, other mt)an diplomatic, wou ^ b e made un- after April 1, but it has made no apparent difference. The rush is on. Senator Heitfeld^ of Idaho, says he invites the most rigid investigation of the charges made by twenty-six members of the Idaho legislature, that his election was brought about by the corrupt use of money. He has announced bis intention no cau cus With t ie Populists, and vote us the caucus decides on organization, tariff and silver. President McKinley has followed the had example set by Mr. Cleveland in allowing himself to be followed around by detectives who are sup posed to protect him. The President of the United States needs no more protection than that which every good citizen is always readyjto extend should it become necessary. It b really absured to suppose that two or three detectives could stop any se rious attempt upon the life of the President even were we living amidst a state of affairs which would warrant the expectation that some such at tempt would be made, and they cer tainly afford no protection against such assassins as Booth and Guitau ; therefore sensible people were sorry to see the silly bodyguard idea kept up. It may be’ that the practice has been kept up without consulting President McKinley, and that he will order it discontinued. Such a course would make him new friends. Mr. Cleveland’s veto killed the Immigration Bill, as it ccommanded but a bare majority in the Senate when it passed. The House passed it over the veto, hut that didn’t help it any. Senator Lodge says it will be passed again by the next Congress and that President McKinley will sign it. — -«•». . - A Card from Mr. Butler. j Editor Ledgkk:—So much has; been said by those who wish to injure mo that I am responsible for Sec.

(Correspondence of Tlio Ledger.) Bufealo, March, 8.—It ruins and rains, and then rains again. What a contrast to dry, famine and plague stricken India, while we are getting a superabundance of rain and en joying good health, and have plenty to eat, wouldn’t it not be a first rate idea to close the dispensaries and make a few other self denials and try to help those poor plague stricken hungry people. Just think of it: Eighty millions of people starving to death, with no prospect of relief for months to come, and wages at about one cent per day. Just at this mo ment I am suffering untold torture from the pang of hunger while I am waiting impatiently for my hoe cake to brown over, and 1 have a natural sympathy for unfortunate people who have no cake at all and no pros pect of getting one. Here is an ob ject lesson for ministers who are al ways trying to raise money to send the gospel to heathen lands. Let them try sending bread a while. Even Christ himself would not preach to a hungry congregation. ’Tis true those people may deserve punish ment for their idolitry, but where is the human in this fair land of ours that does not think more of them selves, their appetites or their social standing or an office or tlie almighty dollar than they do of almighty God. How would it feel to be starved to death for our own idolitry? Why not set apart a fast day and try the experiment on a small scale. How would election day do? A stitch in time may save us nine. Rev. F. C. Hickson, of Yorkville, spent last Friday night with Mr. R. K. For ter. He is a former pastor of Buffalo church and has a host of friends who are always glad to see him. We are to have a new neighbor in a few days. She will be a pretty Tar Heel girl. I hope she will be pleased with lier new home ami her old man.

Be fore his law there is absolutely no difference between one person and another, but unfortunately there are vast multitude of people unwilling to believe it.

My bosom lias long been enthused with such love of office and a salary or what Uncle Rufus Sanders calls an easy setting down place ^but unfortunately for me. but fortunately for the coun try, I am not prepared to offer my self to my country just now.
