Mrs. Cleyeland's Letter.

BOSTON, June THE Globe today
publishes letter written by Mrs.
Cleveland to a lady friend in WOr-
cester, who had forwarded Mrs. Cleve-
land a copy of the alleged statements
of a Worcester clergyman against the
character of the executive. The letter
is as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, /
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 8, 'SS. :
To Mrs. Nicodemus:
DEAR MADAM-I can say in answer
to your letter, that every statement
made by Rev. c.. H. Pendleton in the
interview which you send me is base
ly false, and pity man of his call
ing who has been made a tool to give
circulation to such wicked and heart
less lies. 1 can wish women of our
country no greater blessing than that
their homes and lives may be as
happy and their husbands may be
as kind, attentive, considerate and
affectionate as mine. Very truly,
(signed) FRANCIS F. CLEVELAND.
The clergyman claims that he was
misquoted in his interview, the state
ments attributed to him were in sub
stance, that on a recent visit to Wash
ington, he had been informed that
Mrs. Cleveland's married life was I'M
happy. That the president was
abusive in his demeanOr towards her
and otherwise unkind.

The Grand jury,

The present grand jury must be a

plunge into the business. On an
average they have since Monday sum-
moned from fifty to seventy-five wit
nesses per day, to be summoned
forthwith When they get there
these witnesses have to remain some
times for two days before they are
called: There have been five police
men dancing attendance ON the jury
as witnesses since yesterday morning
and yet they have not been called,
although their absence makes the
police force very short handed.

THE Times of this city-democratic
free trade exponent of the Mills bill
by which Texas wool is placed on the
free list-tackles the wool meeting
lately held in this city, in such way
as to provoke the following comment
from the democratic protectionist Ex-
press.
1.-THE Times snarls at the woolmen's
meeting, exposes its ignorance of the
men who compose the trade, and
causelessly insults them by saying
that the meeting was gotten up by a
few buyers to bear the market. AS
there were only two or three local
buyers who attended or took part in
the meeting, the Times must mean
them. If it does not mean them, then
it handles facts so carelessly and pre-
sents them so grOtesquely that they
bear strange resemblance to false
hood. The Times should post itself
better"
But children you should never let
such tariff fights arise. Your Cleve-
land quilts were never made to scratch
each others eyes.

SAN ANTONIO has reaped no glory
from the tail end performances of her
base ball club; and, if all parties are
not mistaken, the base ball players
have not reaped many shekels from
the treasury owing to it's depleted con-
dition, while the heavy dues owing
the general treasury of the League are
still due. San Antonio had better dis
band unless some marked improve
ment can be made in the playing of
her club. The current rumors and di-
rect charges against the club, in that
they do not keep such hours of rest
and so abstain from intoxicants as to
keep them in good playing condition,
have not been authOritatively contra
dicted. While these charges do not
apply to all the members, it is pretty
certain that there is entirely toomuch
truth in them, and that San Antonio
has fallen to the rear as much through
the unprofessional habits Of some of
her players off the diamond field, as
to the incompetency of others upon
the field. 1t is useless to organize de-
feat in this way. If no better order
can be introduced, far better disband.

Trusts and Workingmen.
rom TIE -Nsin York Hsrn,d.

From the Neto Fork Herald.
"What is a trust. anyhow" writes work
man to the Herald. ''We read good deal
Just now about trusts, but | would like you to
explain precisely what they are and how they
affect us workingmen.
Very well, listen. A trust is a combination
of manufacturing capitalists to check rroduc
ton, feed the market with only "a limited
supply of their goods, and thus keep prices
high.
Their aim is to manufacture LEES and charge
more. But if they make less goods, that
means that they will employ fewer workmen,
or give those they keep on less steady work.
Hence a trust is blow at the workman.
If there were no high protective duties
trusts would be impossible, because the
moment manufacturers here combined 10
limit production and raise prices, that moment
goods would rush in from abroad to supply
the market. 1t is the high tariff, therefore,
which is the basis of trusts. The tariff shuts
out foreign goods; thereupon manufacturing
capitalists combine to limit production and
raise prices at home; and in doing this they
necessarily injure their own workmen, because
they deprive them of full work, and injure the
people at large by forcing them to pay artiti-
cially high prices for goods
One example will show how trust Injuries
workingmen. When the salt duty was very
high the Michigan and Syracuse salt monop-
olists hired the Great Kanawha salt works in
West Virginia to stand idle. That is to say,
the salt trust paid the owners of these works
fixed sum per year to make no salt.
They did not pay the men who had found
employment in these works a cent. The
workmen are turned out neck and heels to
shift for themselves. But the capitalist
owners of the works were paid handsomely.
That is how a trust affects workingmen and
protected capitalists and skins the consumer,
who is supposed to be freeman.
