10 Their Iools-Ihe People shut Out.
BY JOHN sWIsros.
Who asks how Clevcland's appoints
nents will affect this party, or that fac
ton, or the other bosa2 EVERYBODY.
Who asks how they will affect the in
terests OF the peol 10 Aho toll sweat,
shiyer, starye, pay taxes, and never get
an Office? Nobody.
The Cabinet is the essence OF the
business morality of New iork-a NOR
ality defined by Il strict construction OF
the criminal Law. Naming and Whit
ney ere in it and Of it.
! A law OF tho United States assumes
| that banker has IL. I. SIS and opln-
ions which unti. him t. he Secretary Of
the Treasury. IL sat.s..s The letter Of
/ the law, Manning resigned the Presl-
| dency of his national bank, but held
] on to his inter, SITS and o,Ihl,.ss: and no
| sense Of psoiriety lcatr..inea him or
/ Cleveland ire.n tie gro violation OF

II any banl.lr. or great smuggling
| importer, or i.iirosd, i..nd, or Oil mo-
nopolist was sorry for The appointment
OF Manning and Whitney, let him be
immortaiized.
| With vast po~c- and influence in his
grasp, Bayar.l sat III the Senate
through the Whole period Of monopoly
| birth and development. To all of it he
las blind, deaf, and dumb. When
rous, I'd by cries from tine people for re-
1;af bo Las wrung his hands in impo-
tent Ienra. ,atiop. and mumbled imbe-
c;Ia nhrases >Lou. the futility Of hu.
man efforts 70 c,.~rect human errors.
But when the people nave seemed , 70
brace themselves for u Srappie WIN
monopolies, his shrill fal., .,st'o Aas
pierced the very caverns Of the ~aPl'
tol while he shricked his denials Of t.ce
legal potency, moral right, and mental
capacity of the people to get out from
under and climb on top OF the COR
porations. This is Bayard, who lives
hard by Wall street, a little to the
south.
About as far to the cast lies Endi-
| colt, Of Massachusetts tho pawnbrok-
er's shop Of the United states. If he
! worships aught but blood, or believes
in aught but the omnipotence and eter-
nifty of compound interest, hypocrit-
ical concealment alone las enabled HIM
to live comfortably 1T home. II ho
hopes aught exec, that the Pacific
Railroad may own the tnited States,
and that Boston may own the Pacific
Railroad, he is en- inii, lei and anarchist,
from his neighbors' point of view. No
doubt he is orthodox.
Lamar is Mississippi Bayard. Long
years Senator, he used his silver ora
tory only to Justify the murders which
gave hlm Office, and TO excuse his
treachery when he voted as Wall street
dictated, against the positi Q instruc-
tion of the LEGISLATURE OF his State.
When lie has dealt with economic ques-
tions at all, it has been to give aid and
comfort to monopolies and special privi-
leges, and to draw about both white
and black laborers the chains which he
fought to perpetuate upon the negro.
Garland seems good and able man !;
but what can lie DO? Villas is merely
the head OF II great Iu mess bureau
having no eoncern with public policy.
This is the C.sb:net iawye1s and

of Pittsburgh, Minister to Italy.
Kelley, Of Richmond, was appointed
IAN editor and lawyer who has been

bondholders. This man Kelley -
italy wouldn't have him, Austria don't
want him, irginia rcpudiates him, the
United States would he rid OF him, and
only the PRESIDENT thinks God did not
make Kelley for nothing.
Gov. McLane, cf Maryland, stood
like rock iii favor OF labor reform,
earning popularity which would have
put him the un'ted States Senate,
thereby r,wding out that most obnox-
ious mo-, -! st and political striker,
Gorman. II tile interests Of organ.

So with "Sunset" Cox. Bright and
brave, he is ent;cea from Congress,
). where he could aid the people to hold
fast their liberties, anl sent to witness
in tie East people who have long
since ceased TO struggle for liberty.
: Slater, Of Oregon made a stubborn
fight in the Senate 10 save the public
lands. and the Western people begged
Cleveland to make him Commissioner
