PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has already COM
planned of the fact that he cannot learn the
exact facts about public men and affairs, and
that he has been seriously imposed upon by
those who have gained access to him and OBJ
tanned his confidence. This is the baleful ex-
periencc of all men in high position, and seems
to be anecessary incid mt of human govern
ment Many years ago Mr.. Theodore Tilton
in his paper, the Golden Age, advocated the ap-
pointment of another secretary as a PRESIDENT
al adviser, who should be called the Secretary
of Public Opinion. 1t should be his business
to find out the truth in the outside world,
and to faithfully and honestly interpret it to
the President. Haroun took upon himself
the task of going among his people in dis
guise, and thus learning their wants.
necessities and opinions, so that he made a
wise ruler. President Hayes adopted plan
that could web be followed with advantage;
and that was to have clerk to read the
principal newspapers of each section of the
country, and select from them all articles that
would be an aid to the executive in knowing
and properly gauging what is called public
opinion Properly conceived, and properly
carried out, this plan is one that could wisely
be an adjunct of every administration. I'm
less there is some such agency whereby the
real truth can reach the fountain head Of
power, he is constantly liable to all manner Of
perversions and misstatements He is neces-
sarily surrounded by selfshness and syco-
phancy, through which everything is refracted
and distorted. This is especially thecase with
President Cleveland, whose inexperience and
stubbornness have made him peculiarly the
victim of designing men. The result has
been that there never has been an administra-
ton in the history of the country in which SO
many gross blunders have been made, and in
which it has been found necessary to retrace
so many steps. Nearly all the questionable
appointments that have been made can be
traced directly to bad advice and abuse of
onfdence. We advise Mr. Cleveland to sub.
scribe for all the leading Republican newspa-
pers of the country, and employ a careful and
conscien tious clerk to make for him such Sc
lections as should reach his eye. He will
thus find most reliable guide for his conduct
as President, and he can rely implicitly upon
finding in those selections only what will tend
to the best interests Of the whole country.

IMMEDIATELY after Mr. Cleveland's nom
nation his pedigree was investigated, and, to
the great joy of every true New Highlander,
bis line OF descent was traced back to an old
and of course highly respectable Connecticut
family. A Massachusetts,, or an exclusively
and exclusive Boston family, would have been
perhaps more satisfactory, but Connecticut

highly-effective campaign document. Later
when the first murmurings of discomfort with
the administration were heard, the genealog
ical account made its appearance again, and
complaints were hushed. 1t is now going the
rounds again, in more elaborate form than be-
fore. If grumbling is quieted again, faith in
the family tree as convincing political docu-
ment will be greater than ever.

the columns of the family newspapers of that
region have been largely devoted to The details
of what seemed to be scandal Of large proper
tions. Not only did the story, as first developed,
point to phase of existence of the lola order,
but to a hideous crime. A violent effort was
made to work up" the tale into dish of hor-
rors even greater than first promised; but it was
a failure. The story did not develop. Instead
of intrigue, medical malpractice, and infanticide
lawful marriage, death from natural causes,
and an infant alive and well were brought to
light The name of dead woman was dragged
in the dust, and an honorable family made to
suffer. but sensation the story fell to the
ground When Western journal attempts any
thing of that Sort it makes sure in advance that
there is a foundation for the narrative which is
to startle the world.

Sympathy for Riel in Manitoba.

Winnipeg Special: Overa thousand SYM
pathizers with Riel, embracing half-breeds
and French Canadians for t~wenty-eight
miles around, held a mass meeting at ST.
BOnniface to work up sympathy for Riei,
whose hances OF escape seem to be lessen
ing so rapidly. The principal object is to
work up a feeling and secure a respite until
al appeal is argued before the privy coun-
Gil, Speeches were made by Riel's counsel
and other prominent French citizens. During
their delivery great excitement prevailed
among the crowd, some OF whom shouted
that they would fight before they would see
Riel hanged. The speaker said il hanged,
Riel's name would be handed down to his
tory as q martyr, while the names ofhis ac-
cusers would rot in oblivion. Warning
language to the dominion government
was used in case the sentence is carried
out. Unity Of the French in Canada
was strongly urged in order that such
a pressure might be brought Il bear at
Ottawa as would secure a reprieve. Lem
ieux, Rieps counsel, just returned from Re-
gina, described the scene in Riel's cell, with
two children and his aged mother with
head bowed down with grief, ~clinging about

about on account of o. ball and chain.
Great indignation followed. John Carey,

alton was at an end. Canada wanted no

will be held soon.
