TENNESSEE democrats orc not slow in
expressing their disapproyal of President
Clevelaud's course. State Senator Gallo.
way introduced resolution In the upper
branch of the Tennessee legislature the
other day indorsing President Cleveland.
1t was mot with storm of opposition
from democratic senators. Cleyeland's
silver coinage and civil service letters
were read and denounced and finally the
resolution had to be withdrawn to pre-
vent its defeat. Tho republicans quietly
looked on and enjoyed the sport. The
Tennessee democrats arc here in force
however, for the federal patronage. 1t is
not stated whether they couple their re-
quests for favors with certified copy of
the action of tho Tennessee senate on the
resolution mentioned above.

THE conference committee on tho
naval appropriation bill agreed on an
appropriation Of 100000 for arming the
new cruisers. II is now reported that
an examination of the engrossed bill
which was signed by tho President dis
closes tho grave fact that this item was
omitted. An item in the sundry civil
bill appropriating money to extend gov
ornment telegraph facilities along the
coast is also missing, and later returns
may reveal other escaped appropriations.
Mr., Randall, it is said, has been called
upon by President Cleveland TO explain
the omissions, and has done SO by
charging tho responsibility upon

WE are Of the opinion that in case the
treaties withdrawn from before the senate
by President Cleveland had been nogoti-
ated by preceding democratic admins
tration they would have been left before
that body. In other words it was mainly
because they were the work of republican
administration that they have been with
drawn from tho present possibility of
ratification. And yet there is not such O
sharply defined difference between the
two parties upon the question of our re-
lations with the other American nations
that his action is justified. Both parties
in their conventions at Chicago last
summer inserted planks in their plat.
forms declaring in favor Of national ac-
ton designed to draw US into more init
mate intercourse with the Central and
South American peoples, aud to extend
our commerce with them, so that in
negotiating the treaties President Arthur
had substantial encouragement to
believe his course would be as &C.
ceptable TO democrats as to republicans.
But Mr.. Cleveland's action is so strongly
in tho direction OF contrary opinion
that it amounts to severe reflection
upon Mr. Arthur. His inspiration no
doubt comes from Mr.. Bayard, who finds
in tho resources Of his now position moro
effective means Of defeating the treaties
than his late senntorship afforded him,
We believe the administration has made
n bad mistake in this matter and taken
action that will lower our prestige abroad
II is certainly in unwise hostility to one
Of tho most bunoicont and comprahen-
sive schemes for the extension of our
commerce in folds that VIC should control
that has yot been devised.

CURRENT COMMENT.


President Cleveland has need Of pa
ticnceas well as of frmness In these early
tlays of his administration. There are
i,reat many democrats In this country
who, as matter Of principle, disbolieyo
what they read in the newspapers, aud
great many others who don't read the
newspapers OF all. The President will
find it necessary, therefore, tooxplsin to
a considerable number Of his visitors
every day that they arc in error when
they assume that he is anxious to secure
mt once several thousand democrats TO do
tho work and draw the pay Of the republic
can olliceholders he Is about TO turn out

"Alasl how easily things go wrong;
A sigh too much or a kiss too long,"
And fathers patience is quite worn OUT
There's hurried step and wrathful shout,
And the dream of a youthful pair is DER,
a youth escapes through the open door,
With terror imprinted upon his face.
And goes down the street at a flying pace
With hat In hand and dog in chase.
The dog to the flying youth draws nigh
There's savage growl and a piercing cry,
ALAS how easily things go wrong;'
Why did the lover stay so long2
A painting youth at his mothers door
is vowing he'll go out to court no more;
A dog Ia returning with visagc grim,
Dragging an listers tail with him.
"Alasl how easily things go wrong"
When q lover ioolishly tarries too long;
"And yet how easily things go right
When he leaves at a decent time Of night;
He's wise who this in his memory logs;
Fathers are fathers and dogs are dogs.

'rhe threat of President Diaz to Presi-

q REPUBLICAN reporter last night. "Mex-
leo was compelled to withdraw from her

is the confirmation Of the treaty by the

what is Diaz's object in interposing
an ultimatum2"
THE scheme Of Barrios is directly an

well-arranged plan of few years ago,
originated by myself and approved and

have been the head of a confederation in

WHERE Is GOD To-pAYP

This question was asked By the 5.year-old
deceased child of Gen. Thomas H. Rossor Of
Yirginia)
A bluo.eyed boy while sporting at his play
Asked this question-Pa. where Is God TO- day 7
The man Of years and thought could not reply
Aud only answered by the saddest sigh.
The greatest sages of the olden timo
Have asked this question Of the earth aud sky;
But never yet in any land or cline
Have we been satisfied with the reply.
We build great temples to the God we make,
And worship something till we're old and gray;
But from the aching heart we cannot take
The simple question-Where is God to.day7
Perhaps the little child might tell us now
Where God in all his power reigns on high;
Where wreathes immortal crown the boyish
brow
And worldsunnumbered shine beyond the sky

SENSATIONAL assertions in court are

for counsel are not responsible savo to
the court for their .utterances, and the

ing whether tho evidence fully sustains
tho charge. Fortunately tho public
estimate of Robert II. Lincoln and
William B. Hazen is in striking contrast,
the one being regarded as a competent
executive officer and the other as very
incompetent ana unruly subordinate.
Tho sensational has played an important
part in tho career of Gen. Hazan, aud it
was not TO DO expected that this trial
would end without some exhibition of his
inordinate desire for further notoriety.
The only wonder is that he had not nc.

wFitingall the merited criticisms Of his

Beautiful Bridal Gowns.

One of our best bellies. judged by an ex-
treme standard of fashion, has now distin-
guished herself by having tour dresses
made in exact semblance of four which
are in the trousseau of the Princess Beat
rice of England. The first is travelling
gown OF rough English cloth in navy blue.
and red stripes of narrow width. The
skirt has pleats down the front and the
overskirt is arranged in pleats and panels
that hang straight and give the effect of a
redngote. The basque has a notched
collar like that in mems morning coats and
is worn with cravat of dull red silk; the
back rests smoothly or the tournure and is
very short. Blue braid is stitched on the
edges and the buttons are blue. The Tam
O'Shanter cap is of dark red cloth, with a
blue quill thrust through it. The second
is for yachting and tennis. 1t is of cream
white flannelette, with turquoise blue
wool inlaid IN small pleats between the
large box pleats OF the skirt. The pleat-
ed basque is of the white flannelette with
high officers collar and notched collar
edged with blue; the belt is also white
with blue edging.
A sailor hat is of rough white straw,
with blue canvas ribbon band. The third
is OF dark red habit cloth, with Ottoman
silk of the same shade forming the vest,
and inlaid between the wide box plaats OF
the skirt. The basque is sharply pointed
in front. short on the hips. and pleated
ike habit in the back. The silk vest
laps over the fastening of the lining in one
place, in Breton fashion. and has revers
at the upper part: the officers collar also
has silk in front. The English turban
worn with it is ofred silk laid in folds and
ornamented with gilt pin The fourth
dress has waist of navy blue webbing.
with blue serge skirts and trimming of
crimson and blue blocks. The false skirt
has a pleating of the blue around the bot
tom and the serge is laid over this severe
~ plain on the front and sides, with all
