Cleveland will retire from office
with a snug fortune. He has been
prudent with his salary, and the
real estate syDdicates which are
made up of his intimate friends
have been very successful in Sc
curing favorable legislation at the
hands of Congress.
1t is the veriest nonsense, this
report that Samuel j. Randall is
again seriously ill. We are IN
position to know that Uncle Ran
dali is just now feeling several de-
grees more comfortable than al
most any other Democrat in this
country.-Philadelphid Press.
Stand by your guns, is the adj
vice the Louisville Comier-JourRdl
gives to its Democratic friends.
Colonel, they won't do it, and you
mustn't expect them to. They
have learned by bitter experience
that that free trade gun kicks so
badly it is fatally dangerous to
stand by it.
The shining example of the two
Democratic postmasters-on Q IN
Pennsylvania and one in Ohio
who turned IN their designations as
soon as they learned Of Harrlson's
election seems to have been utterly
lost on other Democratic office
holders. 1t is an example they
should emulate instead ofignorng.
The United States Supreme court
has rendered decision which may
be of the highest Importance to
many people who have their lives
insured. 1t is to the effect that a
life insurance policy is no part OF
the estate of a dead person who
may have died insolvent, and Is
not liable for his debts. In must
be paid over to the beneficiary
named in it.
It may be stated on the highest
authority-with a number OF cor
respondents yet to be heard from
that after the 4th of next March
Mr.. Cleveland will, 1st, reside in
New York 2nd, will return to
Buffalo Sd, will settle down in AL
bany; 4th, Will make his home IN
Baltimore; 9Th, will 60 abroad ; 6th
will resume the practice of law
18th, will be made president OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Sth,
will entirely withdraw from poll
ties f; 9th, Will run for Congress.

pay your money and you take your
choice"
Some Of the Democratic states
men are indicating a disposition
now to undo some of the plumbers
OF the last session Of Congress by
taking favorable action this Win
ter on the admission of the terri
tories. Quite like them, they do
not propose this as an act of justice
but as a matter of policy, 1t is
said by them that if a Democratic
House votes to admit North DakO-
ia it may in gratitude become q !
Democratic state, and as it will be
admitted anyway by the next Con
gress, they propose that the step
shall be taken. This doesn't strike
them as at all ludicrous, but it will
PROVE highly amusing to every body
else as evidence of Democratic
craftsmanship.
With Mr.. Cleveland as president
OF a railroad and Colonel Lamont
as life insurance man the warm
affection existing between them
heretofore would be cooled and
they would begin to view each
other with suspicion. It might not
develop into positive dislike, but
every time the ColOneFs company
had to pay several policies as the
result Of an accident Oh Mr.. Cleye-
lands road, the Colonel would nat
urally feel that the President WAS
hardly treating him right, aud this
thing continued for year or Two
would result 10 an enlargement.
1t is to be hoped they will not
jeopardize a mutual friendship by
any mercenary considerations
