provided, as for all other Presidents, 9 pc
riod Of repose for laying out his executive
work. Regardless OF the impotence OF his
critics or the assaults of his enemies he
went straight on, pursuing the tenor OF
his way. From bis elevation his eye
surveye1 the whole ground with better
chances to comprehend his position than
any other man. Il was not bic business
10 tell everybody what was the next step
be was to take, any more than it is the pol
lev 70 proclaim his next movement to his
army. Therefore he was reticent, and he
lef the country 10 get bulletins from the
field.
Thus the FIRST eight months of his I'D.
miuistrsiion has been one Of caution and
slow advance. On the one side be
was told 10 look out for q Waterloo. Bat
he saw an only an AustsrGtz, and those
who knew him best believed that the sun
would rise.
The people who elected him, by an in
spiration which often reproyes and dehes
the pressges OF wiser heads, were willing
to wait and give him what the world calls
fair playa chance. He took that chance
on the start, and be is taking it yet. When
Congress meets its chance will come. No
longer in the irresponsible Trades of enc
mics, or the hesitsting plaudits OF doubling
friends, but face to face with the great
questions which concern the welEbeing oil
the whole country. There journalism and
the public can leave him. for by this time
the nation ought to understand that he WAS
elected by the people of the United States,
and, holding the Office as a public trust, he
proposes to administer that trust for tine
good Of the whole psople. This is the first
tune that such words could be faithfully sp-
Piled to any President during the present
generation.
Some things may be said now that are
safe to pronounce as settled, thus far In
Mr.. Clevelsnd's career:
First He hiss made no Office for place
man.
Sscond-He has shown that he has had
no partisan to reward and no opponent to
punish.
Third He has demanded from no pub
lie servant anything but honesty, ability
aud economy.
Fourth-He has tried to get the best in
formation within his reach about the quail
locations demanded for Office, and where
he has been misled he did what every
honest man should do, exposed the mis-
takes or the receptions Of others.
Fifth-If be has not gone too fast for
some Of his friends he has gone too slow
for his enemies
Above all, he is not apparently afraid
even of hostile Senate, snd, least Of al,
of q Just people, to give al account Of his
stewardship. Such, without praise or
reservation, Grover Cleveland stands to-
day. Let him and history tell the rest

In spite Of the efforts of some RePubli-
cans Of the HoAR.SuERNAx school to per
suads the colOSed people Of the South that
they are outraged, theYssem pretty well
contentsd with the result. This is what
the Virginia Lancet, the organ Of the col
ored Republicans says:
Taking in consideration oil the frauds
that were committed in the recent election,
ifthere were any, the fact remains that it
was one Of the quietest and fairest cleo
tons ever held in this State. And from
the returns the popular will is demonstra,
ted BY the election Of a Democratic State
ticket and q Democratic Legislature,
Although many of US may have preferred
TO have seen the State gone the OtheR way,
We, Providence ordered otherwise, aud IN
our country the will Of the majority Is
supreme. Now let Us turn our attention
10 matters of more vital Importance than
politics. Let US without any sacrifice Of
our urihciples strive to cultivate the friend
ship aud respect OF our white neighbors
with whom we are situated. Let us realize
that two Of the most important and effect
ual factors to add to our prosperity are
money and education.

SILVER TALK.

We do not apprehsnl there will be a Sc
rious difference between the President and
Congress in the matter OF regulating the
coinage Of silver. When that body gets to-
gether and the members compare notes
there will be big difference between what
will be done then aud what has been al
legged individually OF them through newspa-
pers. That part Of Congress which is Dem
ocratic will have in mind the hearty wish
to support the Executive Of the ma
ton. They furthermore, as does the Pres
ident, intend to stand upon the Democrat
ic platform adopted at Chi
csgo A plank in thu: platform sdvo-
Gates the bi-metallic currency" Rest as
sured that IS wtst the people want and
will have. If through the fostering care
Of Congress too much silver has been
coined, and thereby the value of the silver
dollar has been reduced to eighty cents, a
suspension of coinage will be ordered until
the two metals approximate in relative
value close enough to be interchangeable
for business purposes. A temporary stop
page Of coinage will very likely bring this
about. It is all the President ssk8, and it
will be strange if his reasonable recon-
mendstion is not granted. Such extrem-
lists as our neighbor, Congressman WAR
SER. over the river, must either
recognize the wants Of the hour or have
check reins of sufficient power to bring
them 10 their senses The silver bsrons
with their western Ell Dorsdos at their backs
in the shape of inexhaustible silver mines,
and who want the wealth of the earth, are
another class who need the check rein
badly. Their wealth already is lever in
the lobby Of no small power. and it is time
a deaf ear be turned to their walls Of dis
tress. They have been enriched by
Government protection in the shape
of legislation until they stalk
about the earth like modern Cresuses, and
a temporary exposure Of their prodnct to
the hard knocks of competition will net
either impair their efficiency nor seriously
damage the silver industry. Ii may check
the output somewhat, but if in doiog that
the dollar Of our dads" regains its former
value and prestige, the return will be we'll
worth the experiment.

VS. notice the EansWhs Gazette pub
fishes q list Of names Of persons having
received license from the county clerk to
marry. In this community the dumb show
is gone through with each day Of record
ing "one" or tive" or three marriage
licenses issued to-day" but no names given.
Of what interes. is it particularly, how
many marriage licenses are issued daily
unless the names are given? Certainly,
the public would know BY the number,
whether the market is buoysnt or depress-
ed, active or dull, according as the number
Of records per diem Increases or diminishes,
but as the difference between the
maximum and minimum number is
confined 10 very restricted limits, the
market in this respect undergoes little or
change, therefore the interest Of the public
is not perceptably aroused in that direc-
uon. Seriously, can not our aHabls County
Clerk do as the clerks do in other cities
and towns, viz: give the reporters the
names of the high contracting parties? In

An Extraordinary Kind of Book.

In the agricultural department OF a
library Warenstein, near Cassel, Germany,
may be seen G most novel collection OF
books. At first glance they appear like
rough blocks of wood, but upon closer ex-
animation it is found that each is com.
plete history of the tree which it represents.
at the back of the book the bark has been
removed from space large enough to
admit the scientific and common name OF
tree as title. One side is formed from
the split wood of the tree, showing its grain
and natural fracture; the other shows the
wood when worked smooth and vanished.
One end shows the grain as left by the saw,
and the other the finely polished wood.
On opening the book one finds the fruit,
seed, leaves, and other products OF the tree,
the moss which grows upon Its trunk, and
the insects which feed upon the various
parts Of the tree. To all this is added 3
well printed description of the habits, usual
location, an manner of growth OF the tree
all forming a complete history OF each
kind of timber represented, and in form
readily understood.

RECOGNITION OF w. VA. CONGRESS

At the coming meeting OF Congress Mr.,

chosen Speaker. When he made the sp,
pointments OF committees at the beginning
of his first term of office be sought to fill
the important places upon those commit
tees with men who had hSd experience in
the affairs Of the Government. This was
no doubt the wisest course be could have
pursued, though many of the younger men
who did not receive appointments were per,
haps better statesmen than some who had
been in the service for years.
On this bssis of appointment West Vir'

Not only co our Congressman deserve
such places as rewards for their own mer

GINA deserves representation. I,woali be q
token Of appreciation for our Democracy
that stands go true to tie line. The sp-
pointment to the Craftsmanship of commit
tees would open positions TO good staunch
Democrats Of orr State Tor elsrkships and
