RefOrmer Cleveland.

The Albany ECentn0 journal Is dealing some
trenchant blows at Cleveland from the stand
point of his pretended devotion TO reform In
one OF its recent chapters OF State history it
shows that he approved bill which took Sl2i,-
900 from the pockets of the taxpayers of the
State TO pay for rascally old claims which had
been rejected both by Gov. Robinson "a Demo-
craft and by Gov. Cornell Ia Republican, after
full examination by both OF them. The claims
grew out Of work performed by contract on the
Elmira Reformatory in 1871. During its prog
ress it was discovered that the work done in
the most extravagant manner. Accordingly an
act providing for a change in the plans was
passed. The contractors then put in claim for
1921. 900, as the profits they would have made
had they been permitted TO go on until the COM
pletion OF the building. Two Governors, "a we
have said, one Democratic and one Republican,
refused to approve the claim, but Cleveland APP
proved IL without any delay. The affair Is local
TO New York, but IL shows the humbug of
Clevelands pretenses of reform and how close

Deceiying the Irish.

The average Irishman is taught TO believe that
the Republicanism of to-day is the successor Of
Known othingism that the rutfian mobs of
Louisville. st. Louis, and other American cities
who mobbed the Irish forty years ago by some
unexplained metamorphosis have converted
themselves into the respectable and liberty
the Republican party. The truth in this regard
Is that this Knownothing story Is clearly,
calumniously false. What became of the
Knownothings may be an open question. They
may have gone to heaven or hades will not
say that they went into the Democratic party;
but do say that they are not in the Republican
party, for the party Is not composed of that
kind of men. Ruffianism will assert itself, and
It. does not assert itself in the Republican party.
The knownothing party was South
ern party. its home was in the slave
holding States. There were five Know
nothing votes cast south of the Ma
publican States of the North; yet for thirty
years this infamous falsehood has been the
false pretense on which the votes Of lrishmen
were obtained for the Democratic party. While
parties have risen and fallen. while individuals
have acted with regard to living issues. for
thirty years, the proud place assigned to
the Irishman has been post beside the tomb
stone of the putrefying past, huggng the ghost
story OF knownothingism. find no fault with
Democratic principles, these principles are
mine; nor am l prepared to say that it is an
Irshmans duty to abandon the Democratic
party and enter the Republican. What d % say
and shall keep saying is that he has the right
to think, and that he must not be stigmatiZed
for thought or an act that runs counter to the
Democratic party. That IL any wish TO secure
his vote they must appeal TO his reason, to his
sense. of right, to the manliness and honor OF
his character. But il Is written, and the nat
has gone forth. the hour is at hand when
his vote cannot be held by any claim in the
nature of a chattel mortgage, nor by an appeal
to his prejudices, nor by the vicious and calum-
NOUS bug boo about Knownothingism.-

JEFF DAVIS WANTS A CHANCE.
He Says Southern Soldiers Have as Much
Right to Pensions as Union Men.
IFOrsyth lGa.) special.


The Confederate soldiers of Monroe County
have Just finished a reunion at which memories
of the war were freely interchanged. Among
the incidents was the reading of letter from
Jefferson Davis, in which he complained of the
pensioning of Federal soldiers as discrimination.
He says:
Though the States are again reunited and all
contribute to fill the Treasury of the General
Government, the funds there collected are only
appropriated TO provide for the ex-soldiers OF
the Northern States. The Southern soldiers
disabled in war and the widows and orphans OF
those who died can only hope for relief from a
second tax, which may be voluntarily paid by
the people for whom they fought and who
suffered with them 10 il not the least OF your
meritorious manifestations that You meet this
discrimination without complaint and brace
yourselves 10 bear the double burden with no
III feeling to the Government for this offensive
favoritism. Under all the severe trials TO which
you were subjected Ii Is equally honorable TO
you that you have accepted the consequences OF
defeat and thereafter gone shoulder to shoulder
with all who are striving TO secure the welfare
and promote the prosperity and preserve the
honor of a common country.

The most notable rally of the week in YER
mont took place here to-day, in the City Hail.
which was packed to overtiowing. The speak
ers were Congressman Horr, of Michigan, and
Congressman Stewart of Vermont. Senator Ed
munds presided at the meeting, and spoke as
follows:
Gentlemen: thank you for the compliment
implied in selecting me 10 preside on this inter
esting occasion. As you have come here TO lis
ten to distinguished gentlemen who have not
the felicity OF residing in Burlington, and some
of them not even the comfort aud safety OF liv-
ing in Vermont, the pole star or sound politics,
il would be both ungracious and cruel IL me to
occupy the time that has been devoted TO our
guests. must say, however, that a very close
study and observation of the professions and
practices of the Democratic party in Congress
and in the country, that the generous conf
dence OF my fellow-citiZens has enabled me to
make for n long period, has demonstrated to my
mind that the safety aud welfare of the people
of the United States continue to demand
its exclusion from power. Whatever doubts or
difficulties may embarrass our countrymen,
here or elsewhere in the United States, IL seems
to me that in the present attitude OF political
affairs the defeat of the Democratic party Is a
need fairly paramount TO any other. / recog-
nize fully the liberty of belief. of opinion, and
of action that belongs to citizenship. IL Is n
fundamental part of our creed, and none of us
can fail TO fee6the great responsibility that re-
suits from that freedom. Under such response
biltty. and looking at every aspect OF the public
veal, the people OF the state OF Vermont are
again to express their opinions of the princi-
pies. the methods, and the purposes Of the DEM
ocratic party. 1t has been wrong for more than
a quarter of a century, and, fear, will continue
so for a long time to come In the recent peri
DDS, when IL had control of one or the other OF
the houses of Congress, IL demonstrated its un-
fitness for government in respect to nearly all
the important measures IL proposed or resisted,
and every succeeding year seems to decorate IL
with new folly. But must return to the duty
/ stated at the outset. / have the pleasure Of
presenting TO you Congressman Horr, of Mchi-

Flaws in our journalism.

Matthew Arnold says that on the
whole he cannot approve of the Ameri-
can newspaper, and the newspapers
very generally agree they cannot
approve Of Matthew Arnold. Whether
the apostle of sweetness and light
would have thought better of the
newspapers if they had dealt more
kindly with him is an open question.
Probably not, however, for Arnold,
whatever his faults may be, is candid
and sincere in the expression Of his
opinions. And it is worth while for
the newspapers to recognize whatever
is just in the criticism of intelligent
foreigners up their methods. There is
force in Mr.. Arnold's remark that
the newspapers of this country handy
names and regulations about too freely
and talk with too flippant and careless
tone about matters which are of
serious and vital interest to individuals
and families They too often show no
regard for private rights, and exhibit a
painful insensibility to the promptings
Of delicacy which should lead to retic-
ence touching affairs Of which the pub
lie has no right to known. They too
often regard every newly-discovered
mine from which a scandal or a sensa-
tion can be worked up, as so much
grist to their mill, and they work
it for all it is worth, regardless
of the disastrous effect such a
eeett4tFFse may have upon the parties inter
ested. And the tendency among even
reputable journalists is to countenance
such ruthless violations of decency on
the ground that true progressive journa-
lism furnishes the news, and all the
news, and cannot pause to consider
whether individual interests are af-
fected by it or not. With some news
papers it appears to be the rule to
publish the damaging statement first
and investigate it afterward. They
apparently forget the important truth
