THE CLEVELAND CRADLE.
1t Was Discovered in Creek at Pulaski
Tennessee.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec S.-The last issue of
the Pulaski (Tenn.) Weekly Citizen, which
reached the city yesterday, contains an ac-
count of the finding OF the cradle in which
President Cleveland was rocked when baby.
The account says that when he was an in
FAINT his father lived near Batavia, Ohio and
when he removed TO New York his cradle,
manufactured by the Cleveland brothers, was
left behind and fell into the hands of sutlcr,
who afterward went to Pulaski. During the
late war his place was sacked by Morgan 5
cavalry and he had to flee for his life. Green
Jackson, colored man who hauled him to
Lawrence, now remembers that cradle was
thrown into a creek.
A few days ago, while two citizens of Pu-
laski were fishing there, they discovered an
cdd-loolling object in the stream, drew it out
and discovered it was a cradle. 1t was thrown
into the wagon for seat and as it fell the
end board split and piece of paper dropped
out. The end had been made of two pieces
of board followed and glued together. On
the paper was written: Made hi j. and 5.
Cleveland, Batavia, o." Enough Of the pa
per was deciphered to show that it was made
for stephen Grover, son Of Aaron. The
President was notified by Mr.. Richardson,
who made the discovery, and received the
following reply:

world at the present day are VIM. Steinitz,
editor of the International Chess Magazine,
of New York, and J. Zukertort, editor of
the London Chess Monthly. A match

proved by aflidavits. As rumors came into Salt

DECIDED,

The long-expected decision in the case
of Angus NJ. Cannon vs.. United States
has been rendered. The decision sustains
the local courts in their construction OF
the cohabitation clause OF the Edmunds
law. This has been vexed question,
and many hopes have been built upon it
these hopes are now as house built upon
the sands and have been washed away.
This of course settles all question as TO
the validity Of the cohabitation clause as
it has been construed here, and makes
the cases for unlawful cohabitation
much easier to prosecute. The plan
which will be adopted by those
liable to be prosecuted will probably be to
make no Acknowledgements whatever as
TO their polygamous families, and to be
so secretive in their attentions to those
families that il will be next to impossible
to obtain evidence to convict under the
law as now construed.
This decision will be complete refuta-
tion OF the charges OF Delegate Caine
against Judge Zane for his Interpretation
OF this clause. Delegate Caine in his
letter TO the President said that "it
mattered not that in the entire history of
civil and criminal judcature no English
or American court had ever held that
cohabitation meant other than sexual
intercourse" and here the Supreme Court
OF the United States has done the same
thing.
The letter of Mr.. Caine contains q
number of assertions to which we cannot
subscribe, and whatever may have been
the representations of Governor Murray
and Marshal Ireland they could not have
been much more incorrect than the repre-
sentations of Delegate Cainc. Mr.. Caine
says that the "Mormons understand per-
fectly that every effort has been and is
being made by characterless Federal Of
ficials to provoke an outbreak" We
doubt this just as much as we doubt the
rumors that the Mormons sent armed
possesf Gpto this city on the Sun
day hight succeeding the McMurrin-
Collin shooting scrape. We think
that some of the Federal officials
here are very anxious to retain
their places, and would be willing to dc
almost anything to aid them in keeping
them, but we don't believe they would
incite rebellion even for that purpose
MIR. Caine tells the President that he has
been imposed upon by the Governor and
Marshal. 1t may be so; but if he accepts
Mr.. Gaines statements absolutely the
imposition is increased. We should dis
like very much to say OF Mr.. Caine's
representations as he said OF those of the
Governor and Marshal, that these "rep
resentations are maliciously false" but
the justification for such an assertion is
as good in the one case as in the other.

High Praise for Secretary whitney.

The first annual report of Secretary
Whitney is an admirable document. 1t
shows that the dreary line OF Borie, Robe
son, Thompson and Chandler has at last
been broken by the succession to the navy
secretaryship of a man of character, ideas
and courage. The report will impress
unprejudiced readers with the feeling that
the official who wrote it is not only
desirous of putting the navy on busi-
ness basis, but that he has the capacity
to do this work honestly and economically.

The bankers, merchants and others"
who have withdrawn their patronage
from the DEMOCRAT had perfect right to
do so, but we assure them that their en-
deavor to coerce this paper into an accept
ance OF their views on any subject will be
futile. These gentlemen have assumed to
decide most important question er
cathedra and to enforce their decision
with bull of accommodation They
have most signally failed in this instance
and will in all others in which they en-
ploy the same methods. We trust that
in the future that these "bankers, mer-
chants and others" who prate so glibely
about the intolerance and bigotry of the
Mormons in their attempt to boycott all
who are not OF their particular faith will
remember to take the beam out of their
own eyes before they undertake
to remove the mote from the eyes of the
Mormons. On the subject of boycotting
We recommend them TO attentiyely study
the following words from an editorial OF
the Tribune in reply TO question by a
correspondent OF that paper as to what
was its opinion on boycotting: at is gem
orally most cowardly proceeding; it is
generally subversive OF the liberties of
the country; il generally seeks to take
from the citizen the right to choose for
himself what is best for his own good"

ROYCOTTING.

On Friday, December 1lth, at about 4
o'clock p. m, paper was handed into
the DEMOCRAT office signed by number
OF bankers and other heretofore patrons
of this paper, ordering their advertise
ments to be discontinued. The first forms
had gone TO press and it was then i'm
possible to take the advertisements out.
Saturday evening they were taken out as
requested. Yesterday evening some OF
these advertisements were reinserted, but
this was mistake and should not
have occurred. 1t happened in this wise :
Our regular foreman was ut the District
Court making n stenographic report OF the
remarks OF Mr.. Varian in the Lewis case,
and he detailed one of the typos to act as
foreman yesterday. The typo so detailed
knew nothing of the order disseminating
these advertisements, and inserted them
by mistake. We regret that the mistake
occurred, and we will see that il does not
happen again. We have deemed il proper
to say this much in explanation Of the
yesterday.
Boycotting is proper if people choose to
use such arguments TO enforce correct
views on any subject. Its use is
peurile in the extreme and indicates far
more of prejudice than of principle. TIC
study boycotting properly il is best to
study it comparatively, the same as phil
ology and anatomy are studied. On the
10th of March last an organization of the
Mormon church known as the Young
Mems Mutual Improvement Association,
which has many branches, held a confer.
ence in the Assembly Hall of this city
AT this conference series OF resolutions
were unanimously adopted. These resolu.
tions were Of boycotting nature and will
be found below paralleled with another
set OF resolutions. These resolutions were
specific in purpose but general rs to the
individuals boycotted. On the 10th o
December, 1885, a number OF "bankers,
merchants and others" adopted a boy
cotting resolution, but in this case the
person, or rather the paper, to be boy
cotted was specifically named. The paper
80 named was the DEMocRAT. We parel
lei these resolutions for convenience e
sake, those on the left hand being the
resolutions of the Mormon boys and those
on the right being the resolutions of the
bankers, merchants and others"

Lord Bute's Magnificent New Palace.

London World.
The rebuilding of Mountstuart, Lord Bute's
place near Rothesay, has now been completed,
and it is one of the most magnificent mansions in
Great Britain. The house covers an acre. and is
in the medieval Gothic style of the thirteenth
century. The walls turrets and balconies are
built of stone brought from quarry in Kirkcud
briehtshire. In the centre is an immense tower
10 feet high, with q wide balcony all around the
top.
The great hall is constructed entirely of ala
baster and the rarest marbles with columns and
gallery; and the grand staircase is also made of
marble brought from Sicily and Carrara. The
drawing-rooms are paneled with walnut and
beautifully decorated. and so are the dining
rooms, the largest of which accommodates eighty
guests. The ceiling and chimney pieces of ali
these rooms are most artistic, and also are the
windows, the work of which is extremely elaborate
There are three immense libraries and billiard
room. all with carved stone fre-places of antique
design In one wing are Turkish and swimming
baths, and there are large Conservatives. and
private chapel is now building. The whole house
is heated by hot-water pipes and lighted through
ont by ncandescent lamps. The furniture is
hung the lannon's Luton Hoo collection of pict-
ures, which have recently been exhibited at
Bethnal Green, Glasgow, and Manchester. The
building decorating and furnishing of this place
have cost nearly million. Lord and Lady Butte
who have been staying for some time at CHS
wick, will now make Mountstuart their principal
residence, and it is expected that they will pass
the winter there.
