That Boltle of Whisky.
The celebrated bottle of forty— five-
year-old whisky intended for chl isten- -
’ ing the Kentucky is making more dis:
turbance, says the Washington Post,
~ than any single bottle of whisky of
which we have any record. A Ken-
tucky Major—Maj. Thomas—lays claim
to having given it to Miss Richardson
for 9. specific purpose, namely, to be
broken over the bow of the Kentucky.
For some reason, Miss Richardson lost
her grasp on the bottle, and it has dis-
appeared, whisky, bottle and all.
Maj. Thomas is out in an interview,
indignantly demandingo what has be-
cone of it. He says that he still has
Smile of the same whisky left, but
he makes it "a point never to allow a
politician to taste it. He greatly fears
that the whisky contained in the bottle
given Miss Richardson has “been con-
sumed by politicians like Mr. Herbert
and Cleveland.” It is to be noticed
that the Major does not directly charge
Mr. Herbert and Mr. Cleveland with
drinking the whisky, but that it has
been consumed by men like them. Our
friend, the Major, does not explain
wherein the likeness consists, whether
in appearance or character. He mere-
ly says men like them.
We cannot truthfully say we approve
of the Major’s choice of language. If
he means to imply that Mr. Herbert
and Mr. Cleveland drank that whisky,
either without assistance or in conjunc-
tion with a particular friend 011 two, he
ought to say so unequivocally, but the
expressmn, "politicians like Mr. Her-
bert and Mr. Cleveland,” leaves too
much to the imagination, and has a
slight hint of dodging beneath the
dignity of a Kentucky Major. The
fact that Miss Richardson sent the bot-
tle of Whisky to M11. Herbert is ex plicit-
ly stated by her, and lends some color,
to the manlfest suspicion indicated by
the language of Maj. Thomas, that Mr.
Herbert had something to do with its
disappearance, whether he actually
partook of it 01 not.
But why should Mr. Cleveland be
dragged into this controversy ? To be
sure, there existed close relations be-
tween Mr. Herbert and Mr. Cleveland
at the time the whisky was received
here, but there' 15 nothing 1n the car eer
of the ex-President which would war-
rant the supposition that he‘ would
make one of a party englged in ravish
ing a bottle of whisky solemnly dedi-
cated for the purpose of being broken
over the bdw of a United States war-
ship. Such an idea is too preposter-
dus'to be entertained for a‘vmoment.
Even if M11. Herbert did receive the
whisky he knew what it was ' intended
for, and would hardly venture on
breaching the bottle. N o doubt he
can satisfactorily account for it. and
will do so at the proper time and place.
Maj. Thomas is probably justly aroused
at the apparent loss of the carefully
guarded and highly prized liquor, but
before he indulges in remarks tending,
to reflect on tWodistinguished citizens,
he should be very sure of his ground.
The whisky has achieved more prom1n-
yence than is often the lot of choice
beverages, and public curiosity is
greatly stimulated in regard to its
consumption. There is really no ser-
v ions importance attached to the where-
abouts of the whisky, but still it would
be a satislaction to know just how and
when it ceased to exist. It is due to
Maj. Thomas that some explanation
‘ should be vouchsafed, and the whisky
rescued from'the oblivion in which it
is now buried, to say nothing of re-'
lieving the suspense of the Ameli'canl
people. What has become of that}!
