NIr. Cleveland Stronger than
the Party.

There are no signs of war on the adj
ministration or of a rupture in the
party over the question of spoils in
these accounts. They show that the
support Of the President is much more
eagerly sought by his party than the
support OF his party is sought by the
President. He can get along well
enough without them, but their only
hope of future lies in hearty union
with him. Nobody knows better these
party managers the absurdity of the
talk about whether or not the Presi-
dent is stronger than his party. He
has always been stronger than his
party from the moment he entered
public life. 1t was because he was
thus stronger than his party, that they
nominated him for the Presidency.
He was not the most popular candi-
date among Democrats, far from it;
but he was chosen as their candidate
because of his strength with the peo-
pie. That strength was due to a pop
ular faith in him as champion OF the
very principles which he has been car.
rying out since his arrival in Wash
ington.- Washington Evening Post.

In the British House of Commons
all the members keep their hats on,
and 1t is even irregular to address the
Speaker uncovered. This rule gave
rise to an amusing scene the other
night. Mr.. Courtney attempted to
address the chair on a point of order.
To do so in accordance with the rules
it was necessary that he should speak
seated and uncovered; but at the crit
ical moment he was unable to find his
hat, and addressing the speaker un-
covered was met with laughter and
loud cries Of "Order~ Mr.. Courtney
then borrowed hat from member
sitting near, and stated his point.

President Cleveland is credited with
the declaration that he was elected
for other business than helping to
win u political campaign in Ohio or
any other State. If the President
sticks to this view of the matter there
may not be SO much fun in political
campaigns as there used to be when
Presidents went swinging around the
circle, but the public business is GER
tain to be better performed. Presi-
dents were not originally intended by
the Constitution OF the United States
to be winners of other peoples po-
litical battles IL President Cleveland

mortalize any man.--Phiiadelphia

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.--The Regis
ter OF the Treasury has issued the fol-
lowing order; "To avoid the troubles
and delay in the transfer OF United
States bonds by the successor or legal
representatives of holders nominally
or really in fiduciary capacity, this
office will hereafter require as con-
dition precedent to the issue to any
trustee, executor, administrator, guard
ian, etc, that the beneficiary or partic-
ular trust represented shall be
named in the Duplication and in the
assignment OF the bonds for the pur-
poses proposed
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The public
ity gived to the fact that the United
States Treasurer had resumed the
transfer Of gold coin from San Fran
cisco to New York by registered mail
has again caused a suspension of that
mode of transportation. It is not ex-
pected that any more gold will be
sent through the mails for some time.

TiIden and the Presidents
Policy.


Policy.
Sensible persons who from the first
discredited the story Of rupture be-
tween the President and Mr.. Tilden
have found their judgment confirmed
with the denial Of some OF the parties
interested. So many stories Of this
sort have been circulated concerning
Mr.. Tilden since 1877 that the only
wonder is that this one was so long
delayed. Whenever the Democrats
done or failed to do anything, some
imaginative person has Immediately
written an interview with him, ex-
pressing his dissatisfaction, until, if
they had been true, the country would
have been forced to conclude that he
was the champion grumbler of the
age.
Thus far not one of these reports
has been verified, and it ought to be
known by this time that fewer genu-
inc interviews with Mr.. Tilden have
been published than with any other
prominent man in the country. He
has never Stunned publicity. On the
contrary, he has adhered somewhat
closely to the commendable, though
somewhat old-fashioned, way of writ
ing out what he wants to say and sign
ing his name to it. Many men have
reason to know with what knowledge
and vigor he has done this, and he is
no doubt so well contented with his
experience in this direction as to leave
no desire to communicate with the
Ipublic in any other way.
1t was evident that the silly season
had set in when Mr.. Tilden was repre-.
sented as being disgruntled because Of
the consideration given to the indie
pendents, now better known by the
meaningless name OF Mugwumps. II
was he who began this policy in the
State OF New York. He was intent
upon drawing the ablest and most Wig
orous of the younger Republicans tc
his side, and his position in New York
politics was due to the support which
he conld command from this class
while maintaining solid discipline
in the ranks of his own partw follow
ers
/ Nothing is more certain than tina
| Mr.. Cleveland has simply taken W
the Tilden policy in conducting thu
business OF the country. Both begar
Il by getting public confidence and b,
Exhibiting the greatest care in appoint
ments and both have been subjected
to pressure and opposition from tn
same class Of persons, whether politi
clans or jobbers. Mr.. Tilden has beef
known to say that he expected t.
make himself very unpopular for tn
first few months of his Presidency be
cause of his well-known power of re
sisting the pressure of office-seekers
That he felt confident of making him
self very strong in the end is equal,
well known. 1t is therefore wors
than idle for anybody to allege tina
he is seriously disgruntled with a maj
whose nomination and election h
Ibid SO much to promote when he j
pursuing the general course he him
self would have followed.

organ will have to find some othe
way OF promoting the hate and jea
ousy which its proprietor feels towar
Mr.. Tilden because of the latter's sue
cess in some financial enterprise year
ago. Such stupid stories as its Las
! one will almost certainly recoil agains

Col Fulkerson is the leader of the

stumper in the county. The Virginia

tim Of rheumatism, In the infiammatory
