THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Cleveland has just made his las
snarl to the public in the shape o
q turgsd document called, by court
esy, Presidential message. True
to the interests of his Wall street
masters, he strikes q final blow .,
silver.
For years the gold ring, aided by
men high in Office, have battered
away at the white metal, which is
now the main-stay of the West,
and was in the civil war the saliva
ton of the Union. When the
whole American Union was bal
anced on the brink of ruin, Nevada
came to the front, and with its NJ
YER contribution saved the Repub-
lie. The Democratic party never
seem able to forgive silver for the
part it played in that struggle.
In 1883 time whirled its revenges
on the head of Cleveland and his
allies, and silver and the soldiers
was the combination which elected
Harrison.
All through Cieveland's message
he wreaks his weak vengeance on
those whom he thinks contributed
to his defeat. He makes undigni-
fed and malicious reference to
Sackville. berates the farmers and
mechanics who refused to swallow
his tariff bolus, and in the end is
too enrased to exhibit his usual
craft, and blunders into the ac-
knowledgnent that the celebrated
sssurplus," the death's-head and
cross-bonss of Democracy, il after
all, only twelve millions.
His last kick at the silver pro-
ducisg West will only cause laugh
ter all over the country West Of tho
Missouri river.

and over al tho delicate incense Of
IN indescribabls perfume that rises
from an audience Of exclusively
wealthy people.
The Examiner thinks 1t . severe
reflection upon public religion that
the peer are not welcomed in the

should bear in mind that the psor
are net especially welcome any

to own more than his neighbor,

Of demarkation between the pow
erty stricken and the well-to-do, and
the line will remain ineffacable nm
til the blars OF the doomsday

A woman in fashionable attire
does not like to have someone in
rags alongside Of her, and all the
writing On the subject will not
change her views on the proposition.
1t takes money to run churches tho |

That the poor have the same

1t is not so surprising that Mat

attempt to jump the low fence which
he came upon in course of the
walk he took on the day before his
death, when it is remembered that
he was as Rugby at a time when the
high Jump was cultivated more,
perhaps, than any other athletic
exercise. 1t is written in the annals
of Oxford. too, how on q certain
Sunday afternoon, some 40 years
or SO ago. soon after young Mr..
Arnold bad been elected a Fellow OF
Oriel, he cleared the we'll known
spiked railing in front of Wadham Col
lege. The actual heigh of these rail
ings is Eve feet three inches, and the
fact that Arnold jumped them from
the college side and alighted on the
flag stones of the street pavement is
considered to add to the merits OF
the feat. In bis Rugby days Arnold
cleared at least two inches more than
this. though be was never able to

Dixon, so well known later on as a

There is no particular moral or
even o moralette to the following
story, which q correspondent Of the
North American tells Of an sdven-
ture in Ell Paso, but it is an interest
ing illustration of the ups and downs
of speculation, which gamblers call
