A Word About Fools.

The New York Sun is thoroughly and
profoundly persuaded that Mr.. Cleve'
land IL fool, and the opinion Is 30 EN-.
phatically expressed that the conclusion
Is forced upon the readers Of the Sun that
II Mr.. Cleveland .s not, Mr.. Dana is.
Hitherto both these men have enjoyed
the reputation of being men of very
good sense. Mr.. Dana has conducted
tho Sun to a high circulation and infu-
ence by the exhibition of sagacious views
Of men and things, expressed with anima-
tiop, MIR. Cleveland has reached the
Office OF governor of New York and the
candidacy of his party for president !;
and until he reached these distinctions
he was reputed to be wise and honest
man. and upon that repute he attained
them. The Sun would have US believe
that this reputation was falsely founded
and that in fact Mr.. Cleveland is fool.
II this be so it must be conceded that
there is not muchu use in trying to be any
thing else. If man can get up so high
and 80 fast as fool, it may be regarded
as very comfortable thing to be fool,
And IL man can get to be the editor OF
q great New York newspaper while a
fool, it is not to be denied that the world
is something of FOOLS paradise. This
reflection, it is true, has often been
made. Fools for luck so often turn up as
to make the woods appear full of them (;
and many people will not be inclined to
deny that they get out of the woods into
the cities aud appear even in the illumi.
mating editorial chairs of the great
dailies. The editor of the New York
Tribune reposes as a fool in good many
contemplations; the editor of the Herald
is not generally regarded as first class
standard of a man; and we might 90
through the whole list down to the Sun
without finding PERHAPS a single one who
would stand the test Of every shade of
criticism. The editor of the Sun may
not complain therefore if his readers in
weighing him in the balance with Cleve
land find that he is afflicted as hi;
associates.
Certainly it will be a long day before
general credence is obtained for the
statement that Grover Cleveland is 8
fool. He has been otherwise stamped
by the men who have elevated him ant
he is otherwise stamped by his conduct
so far in this canvass, which has been
wise and prudent to remarkable de
gree. The San finds folly in a letter he
has lately written to Mrs. Beecher
denounciDg as libelous charges that she
communicated to him. Mr.. Dana, per
haps, could have written the letter
better, as writing is his business but
the letter seems to be very good one
and our judgment Of its literary and
other merit is sustained by that of Mr.
Beecher, who made it public, and who
is higher authority in literary quality
than Mr.. Dana, who is addicted tC
sticking in very small! holes in literary
criticism.

APPEALING FUR FUNDS.

The 'Graud Ola Party" In Very PrsAsiu e
ssod OF war sinews.
The following abject appeal has been
issued BY the Rspubli;an national com.
mittee
,,,-, NEV YORK October 90, 1854.
DEAR SIR: The closing struggle for
the continued ascendsncy of those
principles of government and policy OF
which the Republican party is the ex-
pOnent, and under which this country has
prOsptr2d so maryelously is bsfore us. It
promises 10 be a severe one, demanding
not only the most earnest and intelligent
effort of al who believe that these princ
pies are Q sential to our highest prosperity,
but requiring also prompt and liberal con i
tTibutions from all who desire their con-
tinuance. We have achieved a notable
triumph in Ohio, and have made im.
portsut gains in West Virginia which add
it to the doubtful states. The struggle
will now go on in all the states, more es.
pCcially in New York and Indiana, and
will be desperate one with an enemy
greedy of power and place, and with the
stability of our financial system, tho con-
tinuance of our industrial policy and all
the great achievements OF our party at
stake.
To maintain these principles and to
conduct this canvass to successful issue,
we invite contributions 10 the legitimate
expenses of this closing struggle. These
expenses will Of necessity be vary large.
We therefore appeal to those interested in
our success for prompt and liberal oontr-
buttons. We ask yod not only to forward
US your own contribution, but to urge
upon your friends to join with you. All
will be promptly acknowledged and faith.
fully applied. ....
To any officeholder Of the United
States who may have doubts as to the
lawfulness of contribution to our commit.
tee, we desire to say that no member of
this commit 90 is in the service of the
United States, and the assertion or insinu.
alton to the contrary. contained in a
circular signed by Geo, w. Curtis, presi-
dant of the Civil Seryios Reform assooia-
tioD, and others, is false. Contributions
can be made to the undersigned without
any fear of violating the 30 called Civil
Service act.
Requesting a liberal and immediate
response, | am
Very respectfully,
b +. JONES,
Chairman.

the INTELLIeENcER for the considera-
tion Of its Republican readers. We
print 1t for Mr.. Jones without charge.
An Empty Threat.

Some people are saying that the effort
will be made to seat Blaine and Logan,
whether elected or not, in the Hayes
style. There is in favor Of such an idea
the fact that Blaine and Logan are both
men who would be willing to embark in
such scheme either of them is reck-
less and unscrupulous enough. The
New York World reports that VIM. N.
Evarts, Hayes secretary of state, said in
speech in Brooklyn on Thursday even.
ing:
You may say, as some people now say, a
party should not always be in power /; but
in this country the party that is loyal
al,odys shall be in polosr. The party that
raised it's hand, against the Integrity, the
honor the safety Of this country, so long
as it maintains its front and it's cohesion,
its sentiment, its passion, its purposes,
unchanged, shall never have possession of
this government.
But that possibly was My Mr.. Evarts'
rhetoric. His bold words are very in
definite and meaningless when you look
into them. All he threatens is that a
party that seeks the destruction of the
government will not get control of it.
All of which is very true, but utterly
inapplicable to the present political
contest.
Mr.. Blaine, when he got excited out in
Indiana the other day, told the people
that the horrible South was going in to
seize the government in body; but
as it is true that Mr.. Blaine is not going
to get any votes in the South it was very
natural to call them horrid people.
Such remarks as these of heated and
inflated candidates and orators must not
be remembered against them as indi.
eating their sober intentions. They
know not what they say. We are
not whit afraid of any
Hayes business this year. We
know that Blaine would be a vigorous
agent in such purpose, if he got a
chance, while Hayes was only passive
tool. But the fact being that good
part Of the braiDs of the Republican
party want Blaine beaten there is not
the remotest chance of his getting the
machinery to work to cheat the people
again and they would not stand il
either second time.

Few men Of the present century stand
higher in the worlds esteem than Sir
Moses Monteilore, the centenary of
whose birth occurred on Friday. The
whole Hebrew world will do honor to
him by special services on Sunday and
Monday, and it is safe to say that there
are few men who more richly deserve
this distinction. His whole life has
been devoted to the cause of suffering
Hebrew humanity in every cline No
disease was too pestilent, no journey too
wearisome to chill his endeavor in the
cause Of the afflicted. The success that
attended bis efforts was remarkable, and
the long story of his useful life given on
the iirst page of the INTBLLIGENCER
recalls the great work of Francis Xavier
In India. He has lived to see his people
take high commercial rank in all coun-
tries. and their persecution in large part
at an end. The world needs more men
of the stripe Of Sir Moses Montellore,
aud the study Of his useful career must
bring with 1t lasting benefit to the
present as well AZ future generations.

He said Mr.. Cleveland received support
from the best elements of the Republican
party, including ministers, scientists, ool-
lege professors, students, editors and
laborers. He emphasized the fact that tho
Democrats looked for strong support from
the Independent Republicans. In closing
he eulogized the Democratic party, saying
it espoused the cause Of the weak against
the strong, Of the poor man against the
rich, OF the oppressed against the oppresor.
He also paid n tribute % Mr.. Lincoln,
saying he was the best Republican Presi-
dent ever elected. The speech was often
interrupted by applause.
