man past finding out in many respects.
The contest over his will, in New York, is
apparently near its close, and is likely to
end in establishing the will by which he
gave his property to Mrs. DelacroiX,
with whom he had unexplained relations.
The other woman who is contesting the
will upon claim that the professor was
her father, was, it seems. the child of an
other William Darling, a boatman and II
convict in the State prison. The con
testant's lawyer is going to try to show
that the boatman and the medical profess
sor were one and the same person; but
there is no likelihood that this can he es-
tablshed.

The prying disposition of the reporters
who would not permit Mr.. Cleveland to
get married and enjoy honeymoon in
peace, has been pretty severely criticized
on all hands, but there is another side of
the matter, which is very well set forth by
Republican senator as follows;
Grover Cleveland wants to be treated
like private citizen, but he has acted
throughout the whole affair as president
of the United States. He used the L nited
States steamship Despatch to bring his
wife into New York harbor He used the
private secretary of the president to run
his errands in the marriage, and Instead OF
having the ceremony performed at a
church, as he would have done had he
been private citizen, he brings his bride
to the White House, uses the flowers
which belong to the ruler of the nation as
such, and not the private citizen who oc-
cupies that position, to decorate his par
lors, and takes the paid servants of the
nation to carry on the wedding. If Mr..
Cleveland had announced to the country
that he intended to be married, and had
acted as private citizen in the matter,
the press would have treated him differ
emily. When he makes the marriage a
national affair by celebrating it in the
White House, the society of the nation has
right to be interested in it,

can sell liquor in that State but druggists,
who are required to file lists of their Gus
toners with the PROBATE Court, with u
statement of the reasons assigned for pur-
chasing the liquor. The penalty for VIC
lating the law is fine Of 800 and 30 days
in Jail. OF 500 persons convicted under
the law, 20 have been pardoned by Gov
ernor Martin, Of these 10 were druggists
who had not properly filed out their
blanks for filing with the court The law
is evidently operating as a strong restrlc-
ton upon the sale of liquors, and the
sending of over 100 persons to Jail shows
that it is being quite effectively enforced.

become law. But we can perceive no good

The New York Legislature has created a

not probable that the commission can

Mr.. Edmunds had himself been candi-
date for the nomination conferred on
Blaine.-TrOY Telegram.
This oft-denied falsehood, is still kept
running in the columns of the Demo-
cratic papers, and in those of some of
their Republican allies Mr.. Edmunds
was not a candidate for the nomination
conferred on Mr.. Blaine. He never de-
sired or expected that nomination. Mr..
Edmunds never permitted friend of his
to say a word or do thing that he could
prevent, to further his nomination as
president. He said to everybody that in
terviewed or consulted him that he did
not desire to be president that he was
not candidate and would not be. There
were large numbers of Republicans who
would have been glad to have him for a
candidate, but they never received the
slightest encouragement from him. All
this was perfectly notorious at the time.

emies to represent him as "A disappointed
