If He Comes to the Yacht Races President Cleveland Will Adopt Buchanan’s Precedent and Entertain Him at the White Hollie. ice to Witness the'yacht races in the fall. and if Mr. Cleveland follows precedent he will have to invite the Prince to be his guest at the White House. That is Prince, then a youth of 19, visited Amer- ica. in 1860. The Prince’s first visit was intended particularly as a tour of investigation of the British possessions in Canada. Presi- dent Buchanan did not wait for an ofii- cial confirmation of the report that, the Prince was to come to this country. He papers, and on the 4th of June, 1860, he addressed a personal letter to the Queen of England, which was presented by Mr. Dallas, then our Minister at the COurt of St. James. The reply of the Queen is one of the ofiicial documents on file in the State Department, where there are many speci- . mens of the correspondence of many kings, queens and emperors. Before coming to Washington the Prince had visited Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Altoona and Harrisburg, and had been enter- tained in each of these cities. He had had a shooting excursion and a ride down the Allegheny Mountains on a Pennsyl- vania Railroad locomotive. EveryWhere the representative of royalty had been received with the greatest enthusiasm. The Secretary of State, Mr. Cass, ac- companied by two nephews of the Presi- dent, met the Prince at the railroad sta- tion, and he was escorted immediately to the Executive Mansion. The members of his suite accompanied him. The President would have liked to en- tertain the whole of the Prince’s party, but there is no Windsor Castle or Buck- ingham Palace in Washington. And surely it was enough that the President of the United States should have given up his own bedroom to a stranger. There are only five bediooms in the White House. The Prince of Wales occupied the room on the south side of the mansion next the library. This was President Harrison’s bedroom during the last ad- ministration, but it is now the playroom of the Cleveland children. The Duke of Newcastle occupied the bedroom adjoin- ing—the room in which President Gar- field lay sick and in which Mrs. Harri- son died. The other official guest, Major General Bruce, was lodged in the apart. ment opposite the library. ThePresident had a bedroom improvised for himself in the executiye oflices. On Thursday, October 4, the Prince and his suite visited the Capitol, where there was very little to see beyond the architectural features of the building, because Congress was not in session. On the next day the Prince went to Mount Vernon. The excursion was then a rather serious business. It was not merely a day’s pleasure down the Poto- mac; nor was the sightseeing at the his- toric home of Washington reduced to the order which now prevails. The mansion was there and the tomb, but the place had not been restored to the condition in which Washington left it. Only four years before the Mount Vernon Associa- tion had been chartered by the State of Virginia, and two years after that Ed- ward Evcrett had raised the first $10,000 mansion. The Prince accompanied the President and the members of his Cabinet down the, river on a government boat—the Harriet Lane. The Marine band had preceded the party. From the wharf the President and the Prince went to the mansion and thence to the tomb. When the Prince stoad at the tomb with un- cover ed head the Marine band, concealed in the shrubbely close at band, played a dirge composed for the occasion. The Prince was much moved by the solemnity ° of the occasion, and he directed on his return to England that the annual medal for the encouragement of English poetry should be awarded to thepoet who would treat most successfully the subject, “The Prince of Wales at the Tomb of Wash- ington.” Before leaving Mount Vernon the Prince planted a tree to add to the historic group already started there. The visit to Mount Vernon closed the incidents of the Prince’s ofiicial . recep- tion in Washington. When he left there he went to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, West Point, Boston and Port- land. He sailed fiom P01 Island to Eng- land. The Black Man and “'11th Trash. ‘ ‘There’s nothing in the world that sur- passes the contempt of a negro for a poor white man,” said Col. McLendon. “I suppose it is inherited. A white man *who didn’t oWn slaves in the old times was considered beneath the notice of a respectable negro, and the feeling has grown more pronounced since emancipa- tion. Then, again, the plantation over- seers were usually poor whites. The negroes all hated them, and they may have taken some satisfaction in 'a. con- tempt for the whole class they repre- sented. “The other day I was walking along the street when a colored man came by driving before a. wagon the most forlom specimen of a cow I have ever seen. She ,was an animated skeleton, and half her hide was baie where she had rubbed of the hair. One horn was gone and the other dro'oped as if it Were falling out. She was just able to creep and drag the Wagon along after her,'but the old darky who was driving beat the poor beast with a stick and exclaimed: “ ‘G’long dar, naow, you poor white trash!’ ” —Chicago Record.
