On the 9TH the inquest in the terrible
Crouch murder, near Jackson, Mich, was
resumed, and resulted in the finding by the
jury that the victims of the tragedy came

A. X. Mcclure, Of the Philadelphia
Times, seems to have been most fayorably
impressed by Governor Cleveland at his
interview with him the other day. In re-
ferring to Cleyelands care for business
interests. Mr.. Mcclure says: THE one
subject on which there is the most pub
lie concern touching Cleyeland's coming
administration is the one that be dis
eusses with equal freedom and emphasis.
1 refer TO the great business interests Of
the whole country. He is natural bus
mess Executive. He loves business
fidelity, he believes In business methods
and no viii faithfully fulfil his publicly
repeated pledge 10 conduct the admins
tration of the Government on thorough
business principles. He does not merely
look to business administration as the
limit of his duty in enforcing honest gov
ernment. He carries his business states
manship to the extent OF business legis-
lation to promote healthy and enduring
business prosperity" This is at least
another hopeful indication. That the
coming administration will be mostly, If
not entirely Democratic; there need be
no doubt, but il Cleveland shall abide by
the convictions he has expressed, and
gather about him as his assistants only
the best men in his party, his administra-
ton may be honest and able, and COM
mand the confidence of the people. At
any rate it is better to give the future
the benefit of all the encouragement it
presents.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Syracuse Standard: 1t is time to
make the Monroe doctrine a fact and a
force.
Philadelphia Times: Spain is ready to
give us some more things we don't want
If the Senate will only ratify the treaty.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Cleveland's
Christmas letter to George William Cur
tbs was not comforting thing to put into
any old-fashioned Democrats stocking.
A. X. Mcclure: / known as much
about the new Cabinet as any outside the
the few who are In the closest confidence
with the new President, and that is just
nothing at all.
Buffalo Teiegraph: The pastor of
Plymouth will probably be given some
place at home, where he can continue to
fill the office he held during the campaign
that of Minister Extraordinary to
Grover Cleveland.
Philadelphia Record: If Congress is
to intervene for the regulation of railroad
companies under the clause of the Con-
stitution empowering that body to regu-
late commerce among the States, the
Reagan bill is a fair and moderate meas
ure for the purpose.
Boston Transcript: The truth is that
Randall is inserting the wedge that is to
split not only the Democratic party, but
also the solid South. But it must at the
same time leave the Republican party
houndering in the bog of uncertainty, for
what becomes of the Republican party
without a "solid South?"
Detroit Times: The trouble with Gen.
Logan is too much fightee-fghtee. He is
never happy unless he is in row. And
some time he will be thrown in the ditch.
It looks now as if his fight against the
confirmation of Curtis will do the busi-
ness for him. And it is pity. There is
good deal of genuine manhood back of
his fighting tongue.

THIS degree Of disgust which the De-

Begole is indicated when that journal
goes to the extent OF making such COM

peared in a leading editorial yesterday

himself in the presence Of the Governor as
not to direct his Excellency's attention To
some distant object and then stick sharp
weapon into him as he did into his victim.

THE decadence of the State OF Nevada,
is attracting attention. That State cast
$40 votes for it's first Presidential cleo
tors, and at the recent election only H.
727 were cast. The Territorial Enter
prise says that Nevada is in state of
collapse" and that "only some lucky
chance can rescue it from the catastro-
phe which now seems inevitable" AS
there is no law for the reduction of a
State 10 the territorial ranks, it would
appear. that the only way out, il the pres
ent decline continues, viii be to annex a
neighboring territory or State to swell
the population.

whether, to-day, one-half the voters In

William A. Wheeler is living or dead.
And yet Wheeler was not elevated to the
Vice-Presidency by an accident. He
worked his way gradually to the position

that the stars were tapers which were

meteors, that is terrestrial etfluvia. And

thought; in min and cliff, as the
Arabs interpreted it; and in the hero

Young beginners in life's morning,
Don't forget the rainy day;
Sunshine cannot last forever
Or the heart be always gay.
Save the dime and then the dollar,
Lay up something as you roam
Choose some blooming spot = beaury,
Some fair lot, and ''plant home"
You, too, who have babes around you,
Coming up to take your place;
Give them something to remember,
Homestead memories let them trace
Would you feel the pride of manhood,
Let the sun your dwelling greet,
Breathe the blessed air of freedom,
Own the soil beneath your feet.
You, too, who perhaps have squandered
Life's fair morn-'tis not too late
Start at once TO WOO bright Fortune,
Rail no more at so-called fate.
Sow the golden seeds of saving
In the rich and quickening loan;
Spend your last days not with strangers,
Enter Heavens gate from home.
