From the Cleveland Leader.
Cleveland's lucky career had i'll
foundation in q circumstance not
generally known. When elected MAY
or Of Buffalo he found in the Office
Major Cutting. who had oiEiciated as
Mayors Secretary during the terms
of several incumbents, and who was
retained by Cleveland. Cutting. who
has since deceased, was man Of
unusual strength of character and q
forcible writer. The celebrated veto
message Of municipal steal, which
caused Cleveland to be mentioned
and nominated for Governor, was
written by Cutting. 1t was not the
veto that made Cleveland locally
popular so much as the bold
terms in which the proposed robbery
was denounced, and the municipal
thieves raked over the Goals. No
honest Mayor could have done other.
wise than veto the measure, but
Buffalo never bad a Mayor who could
use the English language to such
coed effect as could Msjar Cutting,
aud as be did on that occasion. Cut
ting was Republican, and Cleveland
never did luckier thing for himself
than 10 retaining bis services.

There are movements in the lie
gislature to saddle the expenses of
an extra session upon the people,
in order 10 give that body an op
%pOrtunity TO spend another month
in Baton Rouge under the pretense
of dige>ting and operating upon
the new code of laws that has been
framed for the consideration of. the
members of the Legislature.
Against any such movements we
decidedly enter II protest. 1t is
unknown whether the new code is
better than the present one.
1t is very doubtful whether the
present Legislature could improve
the II now in Use.
Unless they can pass upon it
properly during the 60 days allow
ed them, they had better return
home, and let 1t alone.
1t one page that has come before
our eyes Is a sample, the whole con
Germ had better be pitched into the
Mississippi river.
The taxpayers want no extra
sessions for which they will have
to foot the bills. The people of
Louisiana are becoming tired OF
nonsense. The financial condition
of thu masses of tax payers is SUCH
that they propose to inquire into
future foolishness of Legislators
and they will hold them to a strict
account hereafter.
