ASHINGTON c o r r e s p o n ­ dence; Who is to succeed Mrs. Har- rison as the first lady of the land? Which will it be-- Mrs. Harrison her­ self, or will it be Mrs. Stanford, or Mrs. Oillom, or Mrs. Busk, ©r Mrs. E1 - kins, or Mrs. Alger, or Mrs. Robert T. L i n c o l n , o r M r s . John Sherman, or Mrs. McKinley, or will it be Mrs.Cleve­ land, or Mrs. Gor­ man,or Mrs. Palmer, or Mrs. Whitney, or Mrs. Carlisle, or Miss Boies, in case our national politics take a somersault, as some think they will. If not any of these women, will it be the wife of * tho dark horse, or will that sable-hued animal haveea wife, or, not having a wife, will he want to wed? Anybody with a correct solution to this puzzle will supply a great public demand by stating it. The only promi­ nent /bachelor in the field is United States Senator David B. Hill. Just be­ cause he is in that lamentable condition his case can be disposed of first. If Mr. Hill coir."" to the White Hou?=e we are going through the same delightful experience that preceded Mr. Cleveland's wedding day. It will not make the slightest difference whether or not Mr. Hill exhibits the faintest desire for fem-» inine company, he will be the duily ob­ ject of suspicion, and of course, he will do just as the other gentleman from New York did, and in due season take to himself a wife. That point settled, will the object of his affections be young or old? Well, he need not leave Wash­ ington to make an excellent choice and one that would do his own taste knd the good repute of the nation infinite credit. If it is to be President Hill what a quantity of feminine emotions will be squandered in the direction of the Ex­ ecutive Mansion. So far, however, if Senator Hill has any weakness or any sentimental regard for the society of womankind he has kept it locked up in his innermost soul since he came here to live. Now Cpr the ladies named and a good many others who may feel that they might have .been mentioned with equal propriety. For verily and indeed the writer of this may see in the light of subsequent events cause to gnash her teeth and muss her front hair with con­ suming rage that she did not have sense enough to do so. Some of these ladies are as actively in the race as their hus­ bands, and a few make no secret of their ambitions and hopes in that direction, for, think they, nobody is as well posted as their wives on the qualifications these gentlemen possess for the best gifts the people can * shower upon its idol. The most of these ladies, however, keep securely locked up in their own minds any rosy visions in which they may indulge on the quiet, and no amount of adroit questioning could tempt them to make the slightest com­ ment on the political situation so far as their own aspirations are concerned. In a city and at a'time like this, when the political stockpot has been put on for a long boil, it requires a pretty w«ll- guarded tongue to keep from airing one's knowledge of turns and moves that look sox innocent on the face. For the social world the politics of a presi­ dent does not spoil the flavor of his din­ ner parties, and, sad enough as it may sound to the serious observer of current ,events, the dinners and dances of an ad­ ministration are as likely to live as long |in history as its foreign treaties. Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Cleveland are ;the only ones able to view the situation from the mount o f e x p e r i e n c e . Mrs. Harrison has known also the hard work while the strug­ gle is pending, as well as the de­ light of the vic­ tory. Her career as mistress of the White House will »make a bright page in its hist- HRS. HARRISOI*. ory. She brought to its duties all the influences of a thor­ oughly good heart, a well-stored mind,, a graceful dignity and a willingness to' serve others before she consulted her own convenience. She has kept all her old friends, no matter.what were the variations of the political thermometer, :and she has made hundreds of new ones. Two ladies were sitting opposite her one day lately at a luncheon. One more serious minded than usual said: ."Do, jou know what I read in that face? A wonderfully clear conception of what !is right and a strong, earnest determina- :tion to do it." Her friend replied: "Do !you know what I see? It is a simple •thing, but it is very rare. Mrs. Harri­ son may have more bonnets than when •she came to the White House, but they are the same size.® No President's wife h^s shown a deeper interest in our local institutions nor a greater willing­ ness to see and be seen at any and all times by the people of this city. Should Mrs. Cleveland return to the White House she will probably look at things in a much different light from what she did when she-Came there to be married in June, 1886, or when she <Mf t there in March, 1889, to return to private life. There certainly never was a queen who cre­ ated any more pop­ ular enthusiasm at every public ap­ pearance .and of whose movements the most trifling de­ tails were read with more avidity. Just in the height of national interest in him­ self Mr. Cleveland took to* himself a wife. All the world loves a lover arid his bride, and if the eagle eyes of the feminine journalistic fraternity of this city let any little picturesque details of their dally life pass by without a pleas­ antly worded paragraph It was only be­ cause they forgot it. Sometimes the gallant sex took a hand in writing up the Cleveland home life. The history of that period establishes the fact that theso domestic sketches were not as acceptable reading for Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland as the uniformly kind and well put things which day after day were evolved from the pens with a woman's hand manipu­ lating them and * fairly throbbing at the same time with nervous anxiety to get ;the results into print. Mrs. Cleveland many times expressed her appreciation of these attentions, and has often re­ ferred to it since, showing con clusively that ladies and gentlemen temporarily residing in the White House are pretty steady readers of ail newspaper matter In which their names appear, Mrs. Stanford is one of the busiest women in America. She has her homes. MRS. CLEVELAND^ ' to pay hundreds©! visits every selson. At home in California she has all Hie same • duties to>- with the additional obligations that come of closer ties. Mrs. . Stanford's mail is as large and oftentimes larger than that of a public official. Her well-known charities are, of course, one reason to make the bur­ den of her correspondence so heavy. The wildest flights of fancy seem to fall one in trying to Imagine what White House life would be if Mrs. Whit­ ney was first lady of the land. She made a niche for herself in the social history of the Cleveland administration, and it is extremely doubtful if she will ever have to be pushed to the wall for anybody else. She entertained like a princess, and Washington never before or since saw her equal. If it is going to be President and Mrs. Gorman ene of the most interesting family grpups in America will have the blight, fierce light that beats about a throne let in on them. ^frs. Gorman has many fine traits of character, but she has that rare faculty of making her home so attractive that nothing short of stern duty will get her husband after his day's work to leave his own fireside or would permit his children to let him go even if he was so minded. Father, mother and children are chums'. They have loads of friends who would like to see them go from it to the White House. The wife of the Senator from Illinois, Mrs. Palnper, is a del'ghtfuily cheery little lady, who has made many friends during her brief residence here. She is 35 years »the junior of her hus- s band. She was, & ^ widow before she married 8ve n a to r Palmer. She has V six grown-up and 17 married stepchil- MRS. PAT.MER. dren and the grand­ children in the family are very numer­ ous. Mrs.,Palmer has found much 1o entertain her here the past winter and has mingled considerably in eoeial life. Mrs. McKinley is not generally known in Washington because her delicate health rarely allowed her to take part in any social affairs. Mrs. Cullom is one of the most agree­ able hostesses in the Senatorial1" circle, and has a wide circle of admirers in this city and many more of them home in Illinois who would like to get notes from her dated from the Executive Mansion, although Mr. Cuilom has announced that he has no ambition in that direction. Mrs. Cullom keeps pace with her hus­ band in her knowledge of public meas­ ures and the ups and downs of politics. She is an accomplished woman in many respects, but in ncne«perhaps, are her characteristics better displayed than in her housekeeping. If the pres.dential aspirations of the Governor of Iowa are r< a'ized then the future mistress of the White House will be Miss Boies, his daugh­ ter. She is 26 yeirs old and a good specimen of a progressive <||g Western woman. She is good-look­ ing also and need not have, been Miss Boies so long if she were not has a great deal of tatet, considerable knowledge of political affairs, no fads or crazes, but plehty of general, all-around culture, ghe is devoted to church work; believes in temperance and prohibition for those who want it. Her Christian name is Jessica. Mrs. Eikins would -make a queenly first»lady of the land."1 She is probably the youngest of any in the list, and has just, the perfect health, happy disposi­ tion and social tastes that would fit her for this high honor. Nature has been kind to her in many ways. She is en­ dowed with good looks, good temper and a« good heart. There are shoals of people right around here who would like to see Mrs. Carlisle mistress of the White House, and who also believe that if she settled her mind»right down* to securing the Presidency foifher husband that victory would b®L theirs. The Way they argue is that she never has failed in any con­ test in which she was interested lxeart and soul. She has always accompanied her husband on his political campaigns, and if there were any changes in the cur­ rent she was just as quick to see them as he was. There never was a woman more devoted to her husband's constitu­ ents and as ready to lay aside all her pleasures to entertain them during their visits to the capital. If it'sgoingtobe President Rusk e.v- erybody else as well as the farmers can congratulate themselves in the personnel of his family group. Mrs. % and Miss Busk would be charming hostesses in the White House. The Busk house is a pleasant place to visit-and each member of the family contributes alike to make it to. Mrs. Busk is a thorough house­ keeper. Her tastes arc quiet and do­ mestic, but she is a pleasant woman to meet in society, and certainly none of the Cabinet ladies have acquitted them­ selves better of their social obligations than she has. Miss Busk inherits all the charm of her parent's entire natural­ ness, and has impressed herself upon every one as one of the tew girls that no amount of flattery could spoil. In every way she is her mother's right hand. Mrs. Sherman is known the lergth and breadth of the land, and in this city her many years in official life has made the home of Senator and Mrs. Sherman like that of a permanent resident.

After a long lawsuit over the will Mr. George real­ ized just $580 from the dead man's es­ tate and the lawyers got all the rest.

C&nieMi«!i In the T. A. Kaneli Snaandn to Col. Van Hone, of the Sixth t'niW States Cavalry--Blood May *ei Flow-- Cmttse at the Present Trouble. §¥! Besetted from SuilMi| A terrible state of affairs is ire to exist in Johnson County, Wyo., on the eastern side of the Big Horn Moun­ tains. The owners or managers of the big cattle ranches in that region have long suffered from the depredations committed by organized bands of thieves, technically known there as ' rustlers," and took up arms in alleged self-protection. Forty of them were surrounded at the T. A. Banch by about 800 of their foes. The Acting Governorof Wyoming tele­ graphed to Washington, briefly stating the facte, and requested that troops be sent at once, as the disturbers of the peace had grown so numerous as to be beyond the control of the Stat© officials. Senators Carey and Warren at onoe called^on Acting Secretary of War Grant. General Schofleld was sum­ moned, and the party at midnight re­ paired to the Executive Mansion, aroused the President, and after a consultation the President directed that the neces­ sary troops be dispatched to the scene. General Schofleld at 1 o'clock Wednes­ day morning sent a telegram to General Brooke, commanding the Department of Dakota, ordering him to send troops from Fort McKinney at break of day to the scene of the trouble. Accordingly, Col. Van Home's com­ mand, consisting of three troops of cav­ alry, received orders to march to the scene of battle at once. About 3 a. m. the sound of "forward march" rang out clear on the morning air, and ih n blue- coated troopers started out of the fort and galloped toward the "A" ranch. The distance was covered by daylight, and the commanding officer and Sheriff Angus held a consultation. The Sheriff reported that he had ordered the men to surrender, but they had refused and had opened fire on his men. Col. Van Home found that the rust­ lers, small stockmen and the Sheriff's posse had completely surrounded the ranch and cut off all means of escape, so that the stockmen's forces were entrapped. However, the military had no trouble in inducing the stockmen to surrender. The only provision that was exacted was that they be taken to Fort McKinney and not be allowed to fall into the hands of Angus or bis men or the rustlers. Colonel Van Horne con­ sented, and under the protection of the cavalry the stockmen's forces, consist­ ing of sixty-five men, quickly saddled and bridled their horses and rode to Fort McKinney, where they are now confined under guard. The . Sheriff's posse and the forces of rustlers and small ranchers rode ahead to Buffalo or dispersed to their various farms. Just what the next move will be can- Slot be said, as the feeling on both sides Is intensely bitter. The settlers for many miles around the scene of the trouble are fleeing for their lives, and not without reason. Stage coaches have been stopped, and men shot down in broad daylight. To make matters worse, a band of Crow Indians have left their reservation, and are helping the rustlers by running off cattle and horses from the ranches, while it is intimated that a prominent Sheriff in the neighborhood is in sympathy with the thieves. The trouble is one of long standing. A number of small stock-growers and others who tried the doubtful experi­ ment of farming on tho arid lands have been, injured' by fthe owners of large herds, or the men who represented them onthe plains." Some of the little fel­ lows were driven off and felt sore. Their case has been taken up by a lot of lawless characters in much tho same way as the grievances of workingmen in London are sometimes made the pre­ text for mob outrages by the worst classes of the British metropolis. That is why the wicked rustlers find it easy to operate; they are more or less sym­ pathized with by the aggrieved ones. For this reason juries have failed to convict in cases where the worst of crimes have been proved, the shooting down of men in cold blood being added to the theft of live stock. Then it is said the sheriffs and deputy sheriffs of the thief-infested counties have owed their positions to the votes and influ­ ence of the outlaws, and that in one or two cases the sheriffs have personally appropriated stray cattle and have had deputies who were actually rustlers. Under 6ueh conditions the thieves be­ came bold. They not only took un- branded calves and put their own marks upon them, but had the audacity to run off by the carload cattle and horses that had been stolen from the fanches of men whom they had intimidated to the extent of forcing them to leave the place. The ranchmen tried the virtue of association, and adopted regulations ior the tracing of the stolen property when offered for sale in markets eastward, as well as for reclaim­ ing the vklue of estrays. Then the rustlers essayed another role. It is reported that during ia6t year they "did a land-office business in selling dressed beef to army contractors and to the subcontractors working on the Burlington and Missouri grade in the .northern part of the State." They stole hundreds of^ cattle, cither by shooting them down or running them off to be slaughtered for sale to the persons suf­ ficiently unscrupulous to buy the meat at a big cut from regular prices. The fellows guilty of these outrageous pro­ ceedings are said to have cloaked their villainy by posing as small stockmen, and actually held a meeting at Buffalo, in the northern part of Johnson County, "where they masqueraded under the title of tho Northern Wyoming Farmi ers' and Stock Growers' Association." They then arranged for the annual roundj-up to suit their conven­ ience in forestalling the reputable cattleman and in order to get in their deadly work on the "mavericks" (un- branded cattle) before the rightful own­ ers appeared on the scene. This was the last straw. The big ranchers deter­ mined to "teach a lesson to the rascals" by organizing an armed force. They were surrounded as above described. It is probable the armed array on both sides will soon be dispersed, but it ia not likely that the trouble is over. The sense of injury is too deep seated t© be extinguished at once. It will be a work of time to drive out all the bad charac­ ters who infest that region, and it ia mu. h to be hoped that the purifying process will be accompanied by a fuller recognition on the" part of the big cattle­ men of the r'ghts of those who are striving to make an honest living in an humble way. r * The Umbrella Trust. ~HOW THAT umbrellas and parasols are to be controlled by a trust, there should be an increased trade in big hats and gum coats.--Pittsburg Dispatch.
