The Representative Of Principle

Grover Cleveland is a lifelong Demo-
crat, but he is the incarnation of those
high purposes and that noble indepen-
dence which enable the loyal Democrat
to lift his party to even higher aspirations
and grander efforts. He stands recon-
mended to the suffrages not only of Dem
ocrats but Of all honest men. He is the
embodiment Of the best administrative
reforms which have in the last ten years
engaged the attention of all thoughtful
patriots. His attachment to these re-
forms has been shown by practical action.
at the risk of losing favor with the un-
thinking he has dared to do his duty with
iprightness and fearless courage. He is at
This day as much the representative of
high devotion to duty as Mr.. Bristow
would have been had the Republicans
Nominated him in 1876. His success
would be an assurance Of honest govern
ment; he would gather around him the
best and purest of his political friends,
and administer his high Office solely for
the public good. Burlington Gazette.

According to the Indian forester
famines in India are caused by goats.
The goats Of India appear, as a rule, do
live on the brink of starvation, as, in
deed, goats almost everywhere seem to
do, collecting a scanty livelihood out Of
the barrenest materials. Especially, how
ever, do they attack the green shoots
and topmost twigs Of every young tree
which they come across A herd of
goats, numbering. say, from Is, 900 to
20, 900 animals, a. j. sometimes the case
in the desert tracts Of Asia. is not likely
to leave much vitality in the saplings
that grow in its line Of grazing These
saplings, therefore, never grow % trees.
The old trees. unless reinforced from
time to time by younger growth. die
of. and whole forests thus disappear.
Without forests the rainfall ceases !;
without rain the crops fail. In spite Of
the enormous extent Of Indian plains, it
il altogether possible that the action of
the goats must be thus indirectly
responsible for Indian dronghts. ST.
Helena, a. every one knows, has been
converted from Garden Of Eden to 4
howliug wilderness owing to the imPor-
tation Of the goat alone IB Cyprus
too. the diminished rainfall ana conss-
quent sterility is attributed almost
entirely to the herd Of goats which every
Cypriote appears to keep, ana which
have long ago devastated the vegetation
of the island.

Collapse Of the Idaho MinIna fever.

the renowned Ceur d'Alene mining dis

did not slip BY unheeded. From two
days experience among the gulches

district and an impartial examination Of

very good place to keep away from
Never in the history Of mining excite

SO flat collapse as now prevails in the
Ceur d'Alene mining region. a great
rush was made in the winter and early
spring, when the snow was on the
ground, and excited prospectors
staked off any number Of claims on the
presumption that they were gold bearing
and would yield up their treasures when
the snow disappeared While some Of
the mines were good and gave promise
Of great richness, the mass of them were
found to be worthless and of no Yalue

great calamity had fallen upon the
doomed region, sweeping away every
vestige Of humanity and leaving moth

turned Look this way, and queen Of
spades was mournfully eying you; look
that way, and knave of diamonds was
diabolically smiling at you; look the
other way. and a king of clubs was
threateningly warning you not to tread
on him. Thousands of poker checks
were scattered literally among the dust
and mud and rocks, as if the greatest
gambling establishment on earth had
suddenly been overturned BY an earth
quake or some other great upheaval Of
the ground, and the red, white and blue
chips profusely distributed in showers
over the surrounding country. In its
palmiest days the Ceur d'Alenes must
hove been a great gambling as well as

Lahor's Voice for Cleveland.

F. F. Donovan, of Brooklyn, has re-
ceived letter from Walter N. Thayer,
in charge Of the executive department
of the Workingmen's assembly, in which
this representative of the labor interests
shows why Cleveland should be elected.
The letter is dated Troy, and says.
ssWhile am in full sympathy with
the object of your meeting feel it to be
my duty to decline the invitation to
participate in it for the reason that, being
at the head OF a powerful organization
in this State, my presence might be con-
strued as voicing the sentiment of that
organization and pledging its support to
certain candidate This l have no
right to do, for no person has the right
to pledge the labor vote to any party or
candidate The great majority of the
members Of labor organizations are in
telligent, thinking people, who will
permit no man nor party to own them,
and honor them for it. Were / occupy
ing an unofficial position in the ranks Of
labor l should gladly avail myself of the
opportunity to talk to the workingmen
of Brooklyn and compare the records of
the presidential candidates on labor
measures In determining for myself
which of the candidates should support
l carefully looked over the record of the
three principal candidates, viz, Cleve-
land, Blaine and Butler.
"The former find has been less than
two years in official position where he
could benefit or injure labor, and | find
him credited with having placed on the
statute-books Of the State laws giving to
the workingmen bureau of labor statis-
tics, abolishing the manufacture of hats
in State prison, prohibiting the manu-
facture of cigars in tenement houses,
making workingmen preferred creditors
in cases of assignments or failure, and
the bill abolishing contract labor in the
prisons and penitentiaries of the State.
So find in eighteen months Governor
Cleveland has given to labor FIVE very
important laws.
Messrs Blaine and Butler have held
public positions nearly all their lives,
either under national or State govern
ment, and have yet to be shown a sim
gle law that either Of these gentlemen
has ever been instrumental in passing
that was especially beneficial to labor.
Can it be possible that in life almost
wholly passed in public service the OPP
portunity never presented itself to either
Mr.. Blaine or Mr. Butler to tighten by
legislation the burdens borne by labor2

remains in its place ready to be titled,
and the farmer with ruddy health and
brawny arm depends alone upon the
work of his hands and the aid of kind
Providence for reward of his labor.
Thus our farmers are the most independ-
ent of our citizens. They produce or
have within their reach all they need for
their necessities and for their comfort.
Their crops may be more abundant at
one harvest than at another, and their
products may command higher price
at one market time than another. These
conditions may expand or contract the il
ability to indulge in Injuries or in ex-
penditures not absolutely needful, but
they should never be in want
of the necessities or comforts of life.
This is the sure result of patient and
well-regulated farming. When the far
mer fails and becomes bankrupt in his
business, we may, | think, confidently
look for shiftlessness, or too ambitious
desire to own more land or stock than he
can pay for, or an intermeddling with
matters that bear no relation to his farm,
or such mismanagement and ignorance
as demonstrate that he has mistaken his
vocation. Fortunes NAV be quickly
amassed in sneeulations and lost in a
dav leaving BAD example and perhaps

tudes of trade. or through the allure
ments of the short road to wealth. may

and ruin upon hundreds Of his neighbors.
But in the industrious, intelligent, and
contented farmer the State finds safe
and profitable citizen. ALWAYS contribut
ing to its wealth and prosperity. The
real value of the farmer to the State and
nation is not, however, fully appreciated
until we consider that he feeds the NIL
lions Of our people who are engaged in
other pursuits, that the product OF his
labor fills the avenues of our commerce
and supplies an important factor in our
financial relations with other nations.

Gov. cIeveIan d to the Farmers.

Thousands of people from Southern
New York and Northern Pennsylvania
came in special trains to participate in
the demonstration in Governor Cleve-
lands honor at the Elmira On. " State
Fair. The governor received perfect
ovation on his arrival at the fair grounds.
Crowds followed the carriages in which
the party rode from point to point, and
there was continual cheering for Cleve-
land. 4 he governor spoke from his car
riage, which stood in front of Manufac-
turers' hall. He was introduced by the
president of the Fair association and
was welcomed with repeated rounds Of
cheers, the great crowds being ex-
tremely enthusiastic. His speech was
frequently interrupted by cheers and
liberal applause. He spoke as follows:
1T affords me great pleasure to meet
you here to-day, and to have an oppor-
tunity Of inspecting the annual exhibi-
ton which illustrates the condition Of
the agriculture of our State. / regard
these annual fairs as something con-
nected with the State government,
because, to some extent at least they
are fostered and aided by public
funds, and | am sure that no good
citizen is inclined to complain of the
appropriation Of small part of the
peoples money to the encouragement Of
this important interest. The fact that
this is done furnishes distinct recog
milton by the State of the valuable
relation which the farmers and its farms
bear to the prosperity and welfare Of the
Commonwealth. We boast of our manu-
factures, exceeding, as they largely do,
those Of any other State, but our su-
premacy is clearly shown when we recall
the fact that in addition to our lead in
manufactures the value of our farms and
their products is second only among the
States. There is fxedness and felia-
bility In agricultural pursuits which are
not always found in other branches of
industry and human effort, The soil

These suits against defaulting public
officers are brought upon transcript of
account made by the first comptroller

lement of the account and that the of
| ficer has defaultcd for the balance stated,
| and the comptroller, who is the final ac-
counting officer of the government, re-
commends suit to be entered against the
defaulter to recover the amount of the
defalcation. The solicitor of the trea-
sury, if he comedies with the view of the
| comptroller on the expediency of bring
ing suit, forwards the comptroller a
statement of account or transcript to the
proper United States District Attorney,
and directs him to enter suit to recover
the amount stolen as certified by the
comptroller
The statement of the amount of defal-
cations above given is shown to be cor
rect, as suits have been filed by the gov
eminent in the various United States
courts to recover that amount In those
cases where, on grounds of personal or
political expediency, suits have not been
brought, the names of the officers and
the amounts stolen cannot be ascertained
from any official publication. The total
loss of the government for the three fs-
cal years preceding June 1, 1888, as
shown by the certificates of the First
Comptroller of the Treasury, filed in the
United States courts and sued on by diz
rection of the solicitor Of the treasury,

who ignorantly admire him expect2
He lodged General Butler BY climbing
out Of the window Of a committee room
He lodged the Mulligan letter inquiry
by adroitly getting himself transferred
to the Senate and thus putting himself
outside the jurisdiction and powers Of
the House. He has been dodger and
trickster all his life-a "smart" politi-
