authorities will be able to settle the guilt in
connection with the late robberes from the

been offered for information connected with
the larcenies, and thanks TO cupdiy which

in members OF the Chinese species, it was not
very long before MI Dayton had sufficient
grounds on which TO base the issue of war

as before stated, several Chinese establishments

CLEVELAND ABANDONED.

THE FULL EXTENT or THE EDITORIAL IN
THE NEW YORK INDEPENDENT RENoUNc-
ING HIM.
New York Independent, Aug. 81: We
published last week, in our correspond
ence columns, a communication frof'
DR.. Kmsley Twining, one Of our
editoriol staff, giving the result of his
investigation in regard 10 the Cleve-
land scandal The grave and serious
part of this scandal, which he declares
that ne found to be true, is tkat which
iraputes personal impurity to Mr..
Cleveland in the specific instance that
has come to the knowledge of the pub
lie We cannot in view of all the
facts, resist the conclusion that this
part of the scandal is true; and this
is quite enough to determine our
course.
The damaging charge came upon as
wholly unexpected, and with the sud
den, stunning force of thunder bolt
out Of clear sky. None We're surpris-
ed or overwhelmed mere by it than the
governors friends and intimates among
the Independents Of Buffalo, and It
was n case that called for thorough
and fearless investigation.
That we felt this in every fibre, and
that we intended to impress this feeling
on our readers, and to hold ourselves
absolutely free to act as circumstances
required is the simple truth: and our
Silence as to the Cleveland nomination
fro-n that day was intended.
We utterly refuse TO accept two
-tandards of character. We repudiate
with contempt the doctrine that pub
lie mans private life is not to be in
quired into Or. Twning's iHvestiga-
lion went on the recognition of this
principle.
On th's subject, as it now stands.
we willuo be slow to give advice. The
conditions have wholly changed since
the independent conference. Then we
were ready WITH a real enthusiasm 70
support the tried and, as we then be-
lieved, honest reformer Grover Cleve-
land. Now, without one word In
derogation Of his record as governor Of
this state, our enthusiasm Is wiped ont
by the discovery Of tine acknowledged
and awful facts.
We hence desire to have all our read
ers plainly understand, once FOR all, that
whatever has been said in The Indepen-
dent favorable to the election Of Gov
Cleveland was said in the editorial
columns Of The Independent prior to
the recent sickening disclosures III re-
gard 10 his private character. winch
have Justly shocked the moral sense OF

italian Marriages.

They are prolific people. To be
childless is regarded as an intense
calamity and no matter how shallow
the purse, no new conner is welcomed
other than with smiles and gladness.
Now, is it possible that people so
home-loving, so aifectionate, so fond
of ohsprings, should be so depraved,
so immoral, as we habitually depict
them We have too long looked upon
one side only Of the Italian character;
il is high time that we learned to know
the other Another favQrite idea Of
ours is that the Italians never make
love marriages. No doubt their mar
riages. like those Of the French, are
often arranged by the parents; but,
unlike those Of the French, AZ q rule
a veto Of choice is left to the young
people; and If we could collect stats
tics upon the point, | am inclined to
think that we should find that the
proportion Of these marriages. found
ed upon the groundwork of reason
and social compatibility. vhich turn
out well is as great as not greater
than .at of our marriages fcuuued
on youthful caprice and unreasou.

LARGE FAILURE IN VIENNA.
r. Weinrfch. she Sugar IRenncr, with
Liabilities Of $4,000, 900.


Dispatches from Vienna Yesterday
announced the failure of Il. Vein
rich, the well-kuown sugar reiiner,
with liabilities Of $4,000, Geo. His
creditors had been asked to grant him
an extension Of one year. The news
caused much talk among sugar rein
ers in this city, who now look for
ward to other failures which they
think will follow closely upon this.
At the Office Of the Messrs Havenyer
and others connected with the sugar
refining business it was said that thi
trouble was the natural outcome Of
the extraordinary overproduction Of
beet sugar in France, Germany and
other countries IN Europe. Great
encouragement had been given to the
manufacture of beet sugar ia Europe,
and by the Austrian Government in
particular, which offered bounties for
the production Of this article. In con
sequence, the sugar crop, which five
years ago had then 600, coo tons, in
creased yearly, and this year 1t was
2. 300, 900 tons. OF course so enormous
a production had an unhealthy effect
upon All the sugar markets III inc
world, as it was largely in excess Of
the demand, and the price Of sugar
declined % per cent. early IN the
year. Mr. Weinrich bad contracts
for refining the sugar, and the i'm
mense crop which he had to take
proved too heavy a weight upon his
hands. A large quantity Of beet
sugar has been imported into tins
country for some time, and has been
mixed with cane-sugar before REIN
ing. Although it is believed that
several sther failures of re-
fners in Europe will take
place the rcfners in this country
feel confident that the failure will
not lead TO any embarrassment here.

all pure and right-minded people. The
attempt row to force such candidate
upon the people would, in our opinion,
disgrace the party which nominated
hlm, and the whole nation, if he shonld
be elected. Well we will have no hand
or voice in helping on this matter, and
we will not advise the readers of The
Independent to smother their conscience
and disgrace themselves by engaging
directly or indirectly in any such move
ment.
We are now in serious difficulty as a
nation, in regard to the unchecked pro-
gress Of hormonism; and shall we now,
IN the face of threatening evils and
perils plunge into a deeper gulf by any
seeming Indifference as to tse private
character of one who has been nomina
ted to fill the highest Office in the gift of
the people: We say, No! a thousand
times No Gov, Cleveland should posi-
lively decline {, be candidate, and
withdraw Immediately from the canvass,
and he compelled TO do so if it is neces-
sary. The party which nominated him
through It's chosen representatives should
then reconvene and select new ticket
that will command the hearty support
OF the people of all parties. There is
time enough to do this, and there is no
hope or safety in any other course. To
stand still now, or attempt to go blinSly
forward with the present ticket, would,
in our judgment, be an insult to che
ruler OF nations, sure death to the demo-
cratic party, including also its leaders,
and an everlasting disgrace TO the re-
public.
