President Clevelands friends are rejoicing
over his latest political dodge, as they rejoiced
over his previous free-trade message Of De
cember. Other people see, If they do not
that their present glee is altogether due to the
hope that the President has diverted public
attention from that previous message. which.
when it appeared the same persons hailed az
most marvellous stroke Of craftsmanship
And other people also realize If they do not
that this new "marvellous stroke" may pres
emily como to be an intolerable burden, from
which the President and his friends will pray
to be delivered.
He was a safe, prudent and judcious man
these admirers were wont to say of the pc
culiar politician who has made the Democratic
PARTY his personal instrument. How many o.
thcm think so now? Only eight months ago
he startled the country by message which
has disturbed industry and trade ever since
and If its graver effects are NO longer ielf I
is because people can now sec that no tarin
bill will he passed this year, while the uprising
of Democrats against the free-trade policy OF
their party IS likely to settle the question for
many wears to come. perceiving that his
course in that respect tended toward defeat.
The President now startles re country again
by proposing measures Of foreign policy which.
if not regarded as the mere trick Of dema-
cogue. might be thought to threaten the peace
between this country and Great Bfitain' That
course he takes Just row when an election Is
pending. though he has for three years re-
fused 10 use for the defence Of American rights
the large powers intrusted to him. Even yet
his sequious followers insist that he Is not
demagogue at all, nor reckless politician.
willing to risk the Nations honor or peace IN
seeking his private advantage, but great
statesman and a consistent patriot.
The latest message strikes Mr.. Blaine fresh
from bis sojourn in foreign lands where the
ardent patriotism Of every true American is
stimulated, as "the most extraordinary doc
ument that ever was sent from the White
House" His speech on Saturday night eX-
posed with great cIeaneSs the behavior Of the
President in this matter, and manifested
spirit of indignant pa'rio which will not
be shown by Mr.. Blaine only. After little
il will be seen how far the people really ap-
prove this latest device Of a Free Trader TO
capture control of American markets for Great
Britain Mr.. Clevelaud's difficulty is that Of
his party both undeuate the Intelligence Of
American voters.

Vet'ran of many hard won victory
Each now must do his bravest in the fight;
Right points the way, and nights in arms with
right,
Corrupt and greedy though the enemy be,
Legions OF patriots are within our call,
Each arm uplifted for the country's veal.
Valor engraven on each heart and helm,
Each warrior waiting for the clash of steel
Let every man then grid him for the fray,
And strike with might for honest Government.
No public Office is for private gain,
Democracy must triumph once again.
THURMAN TO CLEVELAND.
At thy right hand I'm well content to be,
Lead on and conquer, man of destiny,
Leave politicians tricks to knaves, but see
Each avenue to fraud is sealed. And why?
Not over many years have passed
away,
Grover, thou knowest WE'LL since fraud held
sway.
Thou'rt loyal, brave, with all leaders skill,
Honest as daylight steadfast, strong of will;
Under thy lead Democracy must win,
Routing the rascals thirsting to get in.
