In all his utterances, public and
private, Mr.. Cleveland has shown a
deep interest in the ex-soldiers and has
favored generous recognition from the
Government. His acts have sustained
his utterances. He is entitled to the
gratitude of the men who are being led
by selfish politicians to criticise his
pension record. Republican Senators
and Representatives have taken the
opportunity since Mr.. Cleveland took
the oath Of office to sneak i'm a lot of
fraudulent and fiimsy claims, with the
idea that II they, became laws certain
constituents would get money and be
pleased, and If the President vetoed
them o howl about enmity TO the
soldiers could be raised. Everybody
knows the carelessness with which,
under the name of courtesy. members
of both houses vote for these private
bills. The responsibility was thrown
upon the President, and he met it with
the firm sense of responsibility he has
never lost for moment. The country

Slavonians and the Italians, children of sun

The Portland daily press., 1888-03-20

The careful canvass of the drift of Repub-
lican sentiment as regards Presidential
candidate in five important States, as gath
cred by the Philadelphia Times, indicates
pretty clearly that the first ballot in the Re-
publican convention will disclose long list
of candidates, all with considerable support,
but all of them falling far short of the num-
Der Of votes necessary to a nomination. The
"fayorite son" win make his appearance
from great many States. After the first
ballot he win begin to disappear, and
when the second ballot is taken the list
of candidates will be reduced materially. 1t
is obvious from the canvass that il Mr.
Blaine had not forbidden the use of his
name he would have received the practical
ly unanimous vote of all these five States,
with the exception of Ohio, on the first bal
lot, and that on the second ballot, if a sec
ond ballot had been necessary, would proba-
bly, have gone for him. With Mr. Blaine
out of the field it would be useless to at
tempt to predict where the nomination will
The Portland daily press., 1888-03-20

President Corbins letter to the striking
employes of the Reading railroad who asked
to he taken back is firm in its refusal of
their request. Yet the employees can hardly
complain that it is not just. Mr.. Corbin
calls their attention to the facts that the
strike was not about wages, question
which he says his company has always been
ready to treat in just and kindly way, but
simply to compel the company to submit to
the dictation of the leaders Of the Knights of
Labor. Such dictation, Mr.. Corbin says, the
the Reading road will never submit to UNI
less the Knights get strong enough to take
possession of the road against the interest
and in defiance of the wishes of the owners.
Mr.. Corbin further points out that to take
back the strikers would be gross injustice
to the new men employed who have been
serving the company faithfully and who
helped it out in an emergency, inasmuch as
it would necessitate their discharge. In
view of the unfortunate position in which
the strikers have been placed 'by their blind
and mistaken obedience to the order Of the
Knights of Labor" Mr.. Corbin agrees to
recommend for places elsewhere all old en-
except that they went on strike.
HIt goes hard with the small princes and
potentates of the earth when England or
Germany get hold of them. Arab Pasha
was summarily removed from Egypt to Col
ombo in Ceylon; Zebehr, the powerful
Egyptian whom England suspected of friend
illness to the Mahdi, was snatched from his
palace and hurried to Gibraltar; and now
poor King Malietoa, of Samoa, is subjected
to the same sort of punishment. One day a
German gunboat took aboard the simple
minded South Sea monarch and steamed
away until Samoa became a blue speck and
sank out of sight. For days and days the
unhappy exile was borne away until he
came to land strange to him and known to
most civilized men only by the strange name
of Cameroons and the barbarous customs of
its natives. Malietua in the Cameroons may
not be so romantic or conspicuous a figure
as Napoleon at st Helena, or even as Arab
at Colombo, but he is much more worthy of
pity. He was removed from his throne in
Samoa, not because he ruled badly, but be-
cause he put his confidence in the advice of
the American and English consuls and re-
fused to be the puppet of the Germans.
They therefore set up the claims Of Tam
aseesee to the throne, deposed Malietoa and
sent him aboard gunboat which left Apia
under sealed Iorders last September The
Kings parting with his friends and family
was described at the time as painful scene
through which the King bore himself with
"truly royal dignity" The American con-
sui at Samoa, who is Mr.. Sewall. Maine
man, is said to be disposed to oppose the
high handed performances of the Germans.
but is hampered by his instructions from
Washington.
