WORTHY OF CONFIDENCE.
Grover ClevelRnWs Untlrlng Vigilance
COurnpe and Eirmness.


Grover Clevelana's UntIring Vigilance,
Courage and Firmness.
Senator John james Ingalls,. who is
not friendly to the President, has en-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Cleveland
is more phenomenal than Napoleon.
The vitriolic Senator from Kansas
did not mean to be supplementary.
But he was so in spite of himself. For
those qualities of the great French
soldier and law-giver, in which Mr..
Cleveland resembled him. were his
good qualities. Grover Cleveland
possesses much OF the keenness of
vision, the untiring vigilance, the
courage and firmness, and not little
of the audacity in great things, that
made Napoleon Bonaparte the great
est soldier in history.
AS q power in the worlds affairs
there was no accounting for Napoleon,
and there is no accounting for Grover
Cleveland. Both will take places in
history among phenomena Both rose
suddenly from obscurity, and when SO
elevated both displayed remarkable
powers of leadership. 1t is hard to
estimate public men with accuracy
during their lifetime, but it is safe to
say that Grover Cleveland will take
rank as one of the most remarkable
men the United States has produced. In
1880 the country had never even heard
the name of the man whom four years
later it elected to the highest position
in the world. Called to the head of
the Nation without the slightest ex-
perience in National politics; never.
it is said, having set foot in
the capital of his country until he
went there for his Inauguration.
he at once mastered the multifari-
Gus affairs of the Government with
thoroughness and detail which, per-
haps, no President before him ever
quite equaled. 1t was thus that Ma
poleon mastered the affairs of the
army and then the affairs of France.
Not only this, but President Cleveland
at once displayed large, broad-mind-
ed, comprehensive grasp of the great
questions of the time. He saw the
way the country should CO. and with a
cautious yet resolute hand he turned
it in that direction. First assuring
himself that he was right, he has not
failed in the quality of courage which
Napoleon had, and which SO few
political leaders of our times possess
the courage to Ego ahead. "
The election of 1884, and the result
ihg administration of Grover Cleve-
land, have made the issues of the war
"chestnuts." The country has been
moved ahead twenty years in the
march of progress, and is to-day
measurably nearer a settlement of the
great questions that are agitating the
people than 1t was even one year ago.
And the President, in serving well his
country, has in the best and highest
sense served well his party. The
Democrats party is bolder, broader
and better party for his leadership.
1t is q fortunate thing for the coun-
try that this mans leadership is not
only not seriously questioned, but has
the unanimous and enthusiastic sup
port Of his party. Better still. the
conviction 3 general that the country
will vote. by an overwhelming ma
jorlty, to give him the opportunity to
continue and finish the good work hs
has begun. Boston Globe,

POLITICAL.
Comments of the Press on
Eiaine's Letter.

| WASHINGTON, February 13.-TSrecial. !
MIR. Blaine's letter announcing that he viii
not be candidate before the national republi-
can convention, has been the chief topic OF
conversation among both senators and reure-
senatives today
Senator voorhees, thinks the letter n very
urgentapp cal for the nomination, and an at
| tempt to make his party unitedly and unani-
| mously axe him to make the race.
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, thinks it sin
! cerciwithdrawal.
| SENATOR Berry, Of Arkansas, has no aith
| in its sincerity.
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, thinks it q frank
| withdrawal.
Senator Blair says he thinks Blaine means
| what he says but his deciination is q mis-
! fortune to the republican party.
BILLY" Chandler thinks the letter a truthful
avowal OF his purpose not to become can
didate.
Senator Frye said--'I think the letter is
exactly what 1t purports TO bean instruction
TO Mr.. Blaine's friends not TO present his name
to the convention. 1t does not debar the
convention from selecting him if it chooses"
Senator Farwel said: I'm reading between
the lines, infer that Mr.. Blaine has an eager
desire for denomination. 1t seems to me that
II it were Mr.. Blaine IS sincere intention to de-
cline or refuse the nomination he would have
signed his name at the end of the first para
graph"
Senator Chandler said "Blaine's decision
not to run is in accordance with his constant
declarations for year and half made to his
most intimate friends. 1t is taken because he
has been resolved not to undergo the labors
and troubles and TO incur the responsibilities
involved in the candidacy. Beyond all qnes-
ton his decision is sincere and irrevocable"
Mr. Randall says that he thinks the general
opinion of the republicans is that the letter is
real. Says he: at is hard to tell anything
about Blaine, but my opinion is that the letter
was real. He means that he will not make
the race. and L am inclined to think he means
it."
Mr.. Holman, well known rs the watch
dog of the treasury, says: "Theletter shows
the confidence he has in his hold upon the re-
publican party. and he will be nominated"
COLUMBUS, o., February 13.--John Sher
man, who is in the city, on hearing that Mr..
Blaine would not allow his name to be used be-
fore the Chicago convention, said that he had
been expecting some such utterance from Mr..
Blaine for some time. He had understood
1t would be forthcoming. Mr.. Blaine was one
of the foremost Americans, whom every re-
publican would have delighted to honor, and
1t was a source of regret that he had concluded
not to make the race again. Mr. Sherman did
not care to talk much about Mr.. Blaine's let
ter, and thought it would cause a number of
other candidates to come to the front. He
proposed to make the race for the Ohio dele
cation and would contest honorably for the
nomination. Mr.. Blaine was a republican
who could sweep the country if nominated,
but he understood all along that lie would not
again seek the nomination. 1t was Oh this
hypothesis that he (Sherman) had entered the
lists.

the wife not only wrote that she was willing, but
named her price, $500. The figure was too high,
and, after little bargaining, 500 was accepted
The money was sent, and with it q document,
drawn up in legal FORM setting forth that for the
sum named the wife relinquished all future claim

sent back to Australia The latest report is that the
man and the woman have since been married.

BRUCE is RIGHT.

INDIANAPoLIs, February 13.-Ex-Senator
Blanche X. Bruce, formerly of Mississippi,
but who is now a resident of this city, was
today asked by Journal reporter his opinion
of the proposed negro exodus to South Amer
lea and Liberia The ex-senator replied:
"There isn't anything in the so-called exc
dus to South America or to any other foreign
land. The scheme originated with two classes
ono composed of a few honest, simple
minded men without experience, and
without the remotest conception of
the magnitude of the venture the
other composed of sharpers who think they
see in the proposed movement an opportunity
to advance their personal fortune. Some of
the latter class / am informed, have recently
appeared in northern communities as agents,
soliciting money to hurry forward the work.
To encourage such men is to put premium on
fraud and i'll the estimation of the public do
inoalculable injury to the colored people of
this country"
The ex-senator added that about q year ago
promint official in Venezuela informed him
that while that government would welcome
immigration, it desired only such as would be
self-sustaining for ayear as a guarantee against
the possibility of becoming public charge.
In conclusion, Mr.. Bruce said:
eve may as well abandon, once for all, the
impTacticable scheme of colonization, and de-
yelop our energies to the work of disciplining
and informing the negroes intellectually and
morally that they may be ready for the battle
of life at home"

The Mackerel Supply.

The New York Commercial Bulletin of
September says: The great scarcity
and high prices of salt mackerel, and the
poor prospect of any change for the
better during the remainder of the season,
caused the withdrawal to-day Of all prices
by leading grocery house, which has
been prompted thereto by instructions
from their eastern correspondents. There
are no stocks of these fish worth mem
tioning in the hands of the wholesale
dealers and jobbers either here or in the
primary markets. The arrivals here con-
tinue exceedingly light, as do also the
fares of the fishing fleets. 1t is appre-
hended that by Christmas the market will
be entirely bare of these fish in first hands.
Meanwhile all canned and cured fish that
may serve as substitutes for mackerel are
likely to be brought into greater prom
inence. Already salmon are beginning TO
attract increased attention on this ac-
count, especially the cheaper grades, and,
while the Pacific coast promises TO be not
far from the usual average, the indications
are that it will all be needed for home
sumption, irrespective of the foreign
demand. Prices have been subject to no
recent change.
