Mr.. AND MRS. CLEVELAND.

'.n1ay Their Sun Ride High In the
fiage.
''Give me health and day." says
Emerson, and will make the pomp
of empires ridiculous" President
Cleveland has been given health and
day, and he has made the pomp of
royalty absurd. Many splendid
pageantry of royal marriage has been
portrayed by the pen of the historian
and chronicled in the columns of the
public press; but more impressive than
the pomp and fanfare of royalty was
the simple ceremonial at the White
House, when President Cleveland was
united in marriage to Miss Folsom.
And whatever the political antago-
nisms which the President may invite,
there can be no question that the SIM
plicity which characterized his recent
marriage has won the hearty recogni-
ton of the whole country.
And the spectacle is assuredly an
imposing one. Mr.. Cleveland is the
chosen ruler of sixty millions of peo-
pie. He is the head of the most in
telligent, the wealthiest, and-despite
its small army and its paper navy
the most powerful Nation on earth.
And yet his wedding at his official
residence was SO simple as to present
striking contrast to many wedding
which has taken place in our principal
cities, whose pomp and glitter and
| display were depicted in the news
papers the next day from a very diff
ferent feeling and for very different
| reason from those which caused the
public press to give to an interested
yet deferential and respectful public
the particulars of the simple White
House ceremony. At that wedding
there were no gorgeous uniforms.
There was no show Of the military
the White House was unguarded by a
single trooper, or police officer; the
grounds were just as free to the pub
lie occupancy as ever, and even the
doors of the White House were open.
A distinguished Englishman, struck
with this unusual sight, was con-
strained to pronounce it on the whole
the most notable sight he had seen
in the United States.
| We are told there were but twenty
| five persons, including the President 8
and the brides relatives, intimate
friends, and the members of the Cabi-
net and their wives, present. But in
reality the whole Nation was present;
at least it took a deep interest in the
event which itself is as unprecedented
mo other President was ever married
there-as it is important For there
can be no question that it is far better
that the President should be married
man. although in the present instance,
as in the case of former bachelor
President, the loss was inappreciable
from the fact that the social side was so
well cared for by the one who up to his
wedding had performed the responsible
duties Of lady of the Presidents house
And let us say woman has her
place in this country and in
the home of its Chief Executive,
though we have no court, and though
there is no circle of royal families on
this continent. And the social success

Fisheries Question.
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Daily Ne,os' Mon

ment has changed its policy on the fisher
les question, having issued instructions to
captains of cruisers and Collectors of Gus
toms cancelling former instructions re-
garding the seizure of American vessels
for contravention of the treaty in this
last circular. No mention is made regard
ing the purchase of bait, transhipping of
,argo or shipping of men as being contrary
to the treaty. The question, therefore,
seems to be narrowed down to the three
mile limit. The move is said to be in defer
ence to the wishes of the Imperial Govern
ment for conciliatory enforcement of the
treaty, in the hope of a speedy appoint
ment of the commission.

WAR-LIKE REPUBLICANS.

How Former Administrations In Power
Have Provided for Protecting the Ma
tional Honor.
The assurance exhibited by various
of our Republican contemporaries, in
speaking of what would be done and
what would not be done for our fisher
men if Mr.. Blaine were President is
simply sublime. 1t challenges admira-
ton.
Would Mr.. Blaine. in Mr.. Bayard's
place, have done betterp YES" say
the Blaineomaniacs. The Plumed
Knight, we are informed, would have
ordered the navy to proceed at once to
the Canadian shores, reprisals would
have been made, and England would
have heard news calculated to make
the British lion quiver with fear from
the end of his nose to the tip of his tail.
But Mr.. Blaine in Mr.. Bayard's place,
or in the Presidential chair, would
have done no such thing. Whyf Well,
because pitching into Peruvian guano
beds and fighting John Bull are two
altogether different things. Mr.. Blain,
gave us a specimen of his method o.
twisting the lions tail when American
citizens were locked up as suspects in
British prisons. Again, even were Mr..
Blaine in Office and fully disposed to
show fight, he would have nothing to do
it with. The Republican party after
four-and-twenty years of power left our
navy what we see tan unsuccessful
opponent of coal barge. Untold
millions have been spent for a navy
under Republican Presidents, and the
country has what to show for itp Tho
Tallapoosa and Secor Robson. Mr..
Bayard might never be anxious to
vindicate the honor of the flag, yet Mr..
Blaine's party has left the country
without so much as reliable dispatch
boat Wonderful things Mr.. Blaine or
any one else could do with the Ameri-
car. navy as handed down from Repub-
licsln Administrations to President
Cleveland!
If any trouble were to arise the
genius of the American people would
doubtless rise to the emergency, and
provide adequate means of offense and
defense. But it would not be because
of the Republican party or any of
its leaders. They are responsible for
our present lack of facilities for pro-
tecting the national honor, and they
are the last who, without making them
selves ridiculous, could stand up and
tell what a terrible rumpus they would
make about England's ears were they
in power.-Boston Globe.

Mr.. Blaine never could get along
with the stenographers. A man Of
fluent speech, speaking on an inspiring
theme. seldom faces with satisfaction
the transcription of his words in cold
type. The stenographer asserts he re-
ported MIR. Blaine's abuse of Loxd
Salisbury verbatim. Mr.. Blaine denies
this and furnishes an amended version
calculated to show that even in a
stump speech he observes the courtesies
of parliamentary bodies. And the En-
glish papers declare that his correction
IS no better than the original version.
However, Mr.. Blaine would be glad of
little abuse from the English press

When Mr.. Conkling dominated

Conkling fell upon HIM. The result is
ludicrous exhibition of weak scold-
ing, which he fancies to be sarcasm.
Mr.. Ingalls, should be vigorously
squelched. .-Cn ,innaI lEnqsirers

FOUND AT LAST.

In making comparisons of the Navy oil
the United States with any other the
trouble always is to find out one small
enough to serve the purpose. The
Rochester Herald, however, has dis.
covered that "the American Navy could
lick the Persian Navy out of its boots.
SO to speak. The Shah has never had a
navy until recently, and now he has two
wal steamers, one of which is described
as good for nothing and the other mounts
four Krupp guns" This sounds some.
what encouraging, for against the steamer
that is good for nothing we could bring
to bear many Of the same sort, and nun.
beers ought to tell, all else being equal.
But should the Persian vessel with four
Krupp guns steam over here to demand
satisfaction for insulting language about
Persian rugs the nation would have to
tremble in it's shoes.

Fires ON the Prairie.

Although the West is very much more
thickly settled than it was in the days of
those pioneers whose tales OF hair breadth
escapes from mighty and swift-traveling
prairie fires have found their way into the
literature of this country. and although
the broad plains are year by year coming
more and more under the subsection and
into the possession Of settlers, the prairie
fire is by no means altogether a thing Of
the past. It's disastrous effects are Of
course much greater, now that civilization
has encroached upon its territory, than
they were when tracks OF fire miles In
width could sweep across vast sections OF
the country with only the natural grass Of
the prairie to feed upon. and with only the
lives Of buffaloes. prairie-dogs. and q few
frontiersmen to be imperiled by the con-
fagration. Recent dispatches from
Pierre, Dakota, give the news OF a terrific
prairie fire which has recently been raging
in the vicinity OF Forrest City, Potter
county, in that Territory. The fire, which
stretched for 20 miles along the Missouri
bottom lands, destroyed an immense
amount of property. Hundreds of
farmers were left destitute by its raysges,
and the wi Of Forrest City had q mar
row escape from destruction. There
have also been this season several
smaller bnt less disastrous prairie fires in
in Colorado and other parts Of the West.
owing to the extreme and unusual dryness
of early Summer. The origin OF these
CONGREGATIONS is seldom discovered, and.
as they gain Roadway rapidly. their ex.
tinguishment by human hands Is almos,
