A NEW ELEMENT IN POLITICS
From the Cleveland Leader.1

Mrs. Cleveland makes Cleveland a
much stronger candidate for a second
term, and l could see at the reception
last night that she will be able to add
many friends to his support. 1t may
be that she will bring to his admins
tration the element of popular "mix.
ing" qualities which it lacks, and that
she will be the politician of the family.
1t is true she is very young ; but poll
ticians are born, not made, and a bright
woman can do more in an hour by her
intuitions and her quick way of under
standing affairs than a man can by his
reason figure out in a week. White
house life is very fascinating, and Mrs.
Cleveland will not be in a hurry to get
out of it. Whether the president wants
a re- election or not I don't know, but
it is pretty certain that his wife will not
object to even years instead of three

THE PENSION PROBLEM.
from the Detroit Free-Press.

lFr0m the Detroit Free-Press.
Business men will find it very diff
cult to imagine what motive inspires
the opposition in congress to the pro-
posal that pension bills shall be accom-
panied by al appropriation for their
payment. To them it must seem the
only legitimate methods of dealing
with the pension problem on business
principles. 1t is not only an absolute
necessity, if pensions are to be paid
and faith kept with the soldiers, that
the money should be appropriated, but
it is of the highest Importance that
those who are called upon to vote pen
sions should at the same time see clear
ly what the cost is to be. Whether
pensions are considered as justice or
generosity, there must be some limit of
cost beyond which even the most
enthusiastic congressman will not go.
And there is no way in which that
limit can be so readily fixed as the way
provided in the measure referred to.

THE BOYS FREE LIBRARY.
From the Pennington Time.

ltrom the Pennington Times.
Lexington, Mo-, has an institution of
which its citizens should be proud. In
connection with the Episcopal church
there is a library for boys, absolutely
free. The Intelligencer of a late date
publishes the names of oyer fifty books
just added to the library. Amy boy n
the town can have the use of the books,
either at home or in the library, after
an introduction by a responsible person
and the promise to take care of and
return the book in good condition.
The books embrace history, travels,
and the best fiction by the best writers.
and are an education for any boy. A
taste for good reading should be en-
couraged. Such a library as this should
be established in every town. Enter
prise will keep it from being a failure.

The democrats of the Indianapolis

gress who should be knocked nj with

held at which both w. D. Bynnm, the
present congressman, and L. .. Bailey,
the opposing candidate, claim to have
received the nomination, and both
seemed determined to stickiascandidates
and sacrifice the district, which is
usually democratic The fact is, the
convention broke up in a row and
neither one was nominated. The dem
ocrats of the district should ignore both
of these selfish statesmen, call another
convention and nominate a worthy
for congress.
