OPINIONS.
Mr.. Grover CleveIand's Theory on
the Subject.

Philadelphia Press.
Mr.. Cleveland, in his letter Of accep-
lance, propounded the theory that n
Presidential candidate should have no
opinion. lie should simply stand on the
platform Of his party. Mr.. Cleveland
went further, and indicated even that
an actual President should have no pol
icy. lie should be merely an "execu-
tive.n The Cleveland theoryis suited
to man who Is cipher, and II shields
his own emptiness; but 1t does not meet
the views or satisfy the demands Of the
country.
The people have right to know the
position and the purposes Of the man
who aspires to become their chief ruler.
When Mr.. Cleveland tells us that he has
no opinion apart from his party, we an
swer that on the foremost issue Of the
day-tbe tariff questionable party has
two opinions, and we have the right to
know which OF the two is his. He can
not hold both. The platform faces both
ways. Watterson, Carlisle and Morri-
son declare that 1t means free trade. A
few Democrats undertake to interpret
II for protection. This question over
shadows all others now before the coun-
try; and does not every candid man re-
cognize that. with these conflicting
views, 1t Is both cowardly and unjusti-
fable in Mr.. Cleveland to dodge 1t.
Nor does his view Of the Presidential
Office conform to the requirements OF the
Constitution. The President is an execu-
tive officer, but he Is more. The Consti-
tuition expressly provides that "he shall,
from, finn a n TINA give IN 4 no Congreg AZ in
formation of the state of the Union, and
recommend to their consideration such
measures as he shall Judge necessary and
expedient." How is n President to
recommend If he has no views Of his
own? He Is called upon not only to
recommend measures to Congress, but
to sign or veto measures which come
from Congress to him. In this capacity
he is a part of the law-making power.
Hasn't the country the right to know
how he would treat tariff bill? How
Is this Just demand met by answering
that he ID only an executive" He
executes the laws after they are put on
the statute book?
It is true that Andy johnson was con-
demned throughout the country for stub
bornly persisting in "my policy" The
people held that he went beyond the
rightfu. bounds of the Executive. But
that was because he truculently at
tempted to enforce his policy In open
defiance of the declared will of the peo-
pie and their representatives. The
question of usurping the functions OF
Congress IL one thing; the question OF
having opinions upon which to base
recommendations or to pass upon bills
is another. Cleveland's plea is as mis-
taken as his evasion Is cowardly.

James Broff appeared before Chopper
yesterday to answer to charge of hitting
Henry Lamberg with stone. James did
not deny the charge, but said he was sorry
that he had hit Henry. As Jammie was
only nine years old, the Squire let him off
with a severe roprimand, after he had
begged Landings forgiveness.

Mrs Brindle and her two daughters mlde
a complaint before Chopper yesterday that
they were very much annoyed by lot of
kids who played base ball in their neigh
borhood. Chopper issued warrant for
one of the boys engaged in the practice,
named Ed. Huntly. Ed. appeared for
trial this morning. Mrs. Brindle testified
that the boys had been killing her chick
ems. She also said that they played ball,
and sometimes would throw the ball into
her yard In confederation of this latter
fact she produced a couple of base balls
which she said she had captured, and
came pretty nigh capturing. third one
After showing his honor the base balls,
she deposited them again in the pocket OF
her dress. She also stated that Edward
had throwed clod and struck her son, q
nine year old kid. On behalf of the de-
Tense, Ed. Huntly swore that lie didn't
kill Mrs. Brindle's chickens. He had been
in the habit of playing base ball with the
other boys, and didn't see that they
injured Mrs. Brindle, or any one else by
doing So He had, in fun, thrown q
small piece of DIRT at young Brindle, but
didn't mean to hurt him, and had not hurt
him. The squire donned his spectacles
looked over the top of them at Huntly
and then gave him good moral lecture
on the wickedness of his way. ending up
by saying, the amount due the city is 81
and costs. One of Eds brothers produced
twenty dollar bill, outof which Chopper
took out five and costs, and young Huntly
departed on his way rejoicing.

had to assume the whole responsibility Of
making the statement first. Not even the

dreadful suspense that racked our frame
can be imagined. We pinned for the

A RASH MANS ACT.
With a 2.Callibre Revolver he Ends
His Mortal Career.
AND WITHOUT A STRUGGLE HIS Soul
IsWAFTED TO THE GREAT BEYOND.

This afternoon, at about three o'clock,
Jacob Zeigler, corner of Fourth avenue
and Twentysecond street, an old and re-
speeted citizen, shot himself with 80
calibre revolver through the heart, caus-
ing instant death. 1t was not over five
minutes after the shot had been fired that
the ARGUS reporter accompanied by
Officer Etzel, climbed the stairs of the
building where the dead man lay Enter.
ing a door to the left of the stairs, we
entered an old room which was used as a
stove room. Lying on lounge with
nothing on but pair of dark pants
and an undershirt, lay what. but few
moments ago was man, imbned with
great vitality, bat now a corpse, cold and
inanimate in the rigor of death. His
fhirt laid across his face, which revealed
the whiteness of the snowy linen. Pail,
ing down his undershirt from about his
neck, CHASTITY hole, from which blood
yet flowed freely, was visible. In the room
were gathered Undertaken Knox and a
number of the citizens who lived
near by, but none of then
could give information of any kind
as to the cause of his rash act. De-
scending the stairs. the reporter entered
the residence of the dead man, where he
found a number of neighboling women as
sembled, who were trying to comfort Mrs,
Zeigler, who was crying and ringing hel
hands in pitifnl manner. Making in
quiries there, it was learned that the deat
man had been acting in very queel
manner ever since he went out o.
the saloon business last May, bu
none of his friends ever thought he would
take his own life. He was in the habit Of
going to the up stairs room in the out house
and communing with himself and nothing
was thought of his absenting himself from
the house, and going there this afternoon
The first thing that they heard was LOUD
report of pistol. aud fastening there
found him dead.
The deceased was about sixty years Of
age and came to the city at an early day.
He first engaged in the butcher business.
and afterwards started saloon, which he
conducted until the high license went into
effect. His arrangement is said to have
been caused by the increase of license, by
which he was unable to continue il
business. He leaves wife and two
grown up children, who are nearly
distracted over the terrible affair. He wa
in moderate circumstances, and although
it was not necessary for him to work tt
obtain an existence, he was continually
worrying over his idleness.
The coroner was momentarily expected
as the ARGUS reporter left the horrible
scene. and an inquest was held as soon a
be arrived
