a Premature DIscussIop.

In view of the fact that the next Ma
tional Democratic Convention is a long
way off, says an exchange, it is rather
remarkable that there should be so much
discussion of the question whether or not
Mr.. Cleveland will be the next Presiden-
tia. nominee of the Democratic party.
In nearly every part Of the country this
discussion is going on, and in some To-
calities the interest shown in it almost
as great as if the nominating convention
were about to assemble.
There is no doubt that if the conven-
ton were to assemble at any time the
present year Mr.. Cleveland would be
nominated, and it is probable, as far as
can be judged from present indications,
that he will be the Democratic candi-
date, but many things may occur in the
next two years which viii entirely upset
succeeded so far in giving general salts
faction, but may destroy his chances for
a second term, or some great question
may come before the country which
some man, now not thought of in CON
nection with the Presidency, will so
handle as 10 make himself a popular
favorite.
Mr.. Hewitt will doubtless be elected
Mayor of New York, and he may so con-
duct himself in that position as to com
mand the attention Of the entire country
and receive the Presidential nomination
of his party. There is growing feeling
that the next caui date should he taken
from the South or West, and Mr.. Car
Isle may be selected as the party's next
standard bearer.
II Mr.. Cleveland continues To make a
good record the popular demand for his
denomination will he difficult to resist.
That shrewd old Pennsylvania politician,
Simon Cameron, said some time ago that
Mr.. Cleveland would be renominated.
and that it would require every Repub-
lican vote to beat him. Mr.. Cameron is
a strong believer in Blaine, and when he
Gays that every Republican vote will be
required to beat Mr.. Cleveland he means
that he regards it very doubtful whether
he car be beaten at all. The fact that
Mr.. Cleveland's prospects for a renomin-
alton are being so generally discussed is
the lest possible evidence that he is now
regarded as the strongest man with the
people in his party.

Hon. Frank r. Lawrence, Grand Mas
ter Of the Freemasons of New York, who
has received the unprecedented complI-
ment, for men of his years, of a unan-
Imous reelection, reports that the fund
for the payment of the debt upon the
Masonic Temple is rapidly increasing.
Contributions from all parts Of the Coun-
try are received daily, and the organized
subscriptions of numerous lodges promise
a large sum by January I. The fund en-
lists the sympathies of Freemasons all
over the world, because as soon as the
Masonic Temple is free from debt, the
revenue from the stores and offices in
the splendid building on Twenty-third
street viii be sufficient 10 maintain
home for the widows and orphans of
Freemasons. Mr.. Lawrence has devote I!
himself to this benefcient work. He
has arranged for a series of theatrical
benefits during the season and for an
other benefit by one Of the opera troupes.
The Freemasons of England are moving
in the matter, and it is probable that a
benefit at one of the leading London
theatres will shortly be announced under
the patronage Of the Prince of Wales,
who is Grand Master of England

nother.ng the Passenger Agents

Passenger agents are much bothered by
class of persons who repeatedly ask questions
about routes, prices, connections and every
detail of q Journey, without any intent OF
making il. To these they have applied the
name OF mind travellers, who are so easily
distinguished by certain outward signs and
characteristics that an experienced agent can
often tell them at sight. They not only come
once, they come again and again, gather
every bit Of information, carry away circu-
lars, time tables, etc; talk Of the size Of their
party and furnish every detail, so that
anybody who did not know them would sup
pose they were in earnest. They become so
learned concerning the route they assume
they want to take and the points they want
to visit that they know far more than the
agent himself. They become such an annoy
ance that he IS constantly tempted TO tell
them that they have no idea OF travelling, and
that he has not leisure 70 answer their idle
questions But, as it IS always possible that
some one Of them might make the journey,
and it is his interest to be civil, he exercises
self-control and treats each one of them as If
he were a profitable patron Human nature

accounted unnaturaL-New York CONNER

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, has been
to Philadelphia and made speech. The
audience was large. He deprecated the
apparent growth of ideas antagonistic to
the vested rights in property, and among
other things he declared that million
voters in the South are still deprived OF
all their vested rights. 1t really distresses
good people like John Sherman to see the
colored voters of the South voting with
the white people and in favor of their
interests. 1t is to the interest of the col

Sherman thought he would not, and
therefore the representation in the lower

President Cleveland evidently means
what he breaches. He has just suspend
ed NJ. f. Benton, L. S. Attorney for the
western district OF Missouri, for partici-
pating in active political work, against
the civil service rules. Benton is DEM
ocrat. He is now and has been for some
time past engaged in addressing a series
of political meetings in Missouri, and
otherwise aiding and doing party man
agement. This fact came TO the notice
of the President, and on the paper con-
tanning such information he Endorsed !:
" Let this officer be suspended at once, :"
and sent 1t 10 the Attorney Generals Of
fee for an enforcement of the order. No
use fooling with Uncle Grover. Office
holders must attend to their business and
let politics alone, or 60 out OF Office.
This is what the President said in July
last, and Benton and others have found
out that the order means business.
