Proposed Publication of Valuable
State Papers
Relating to the Early History of the Re-

toric Interest and In
portance,

WAsmN0roS, May l,-Socrotary Bavard
mas recently made two propositions to
Congress of general interest, each relat-
ing to matters of lasting Importance. One
oil these is to print for general distribu-
ton The great collection of historical man
n8crlpt5 now in possession Of the State
Department. The other il to purchase an
addition to this collection made up of Il
selection from the archives of those for.
eign governments which contain material
pertaining to the foundation and carly
history OF the Republic, Tbesr matters,
us Is readily seen. ara thoroughly non
| partisan in their character, and of i'm
mensc historical interest and value. While
sneh papers rs are already in the posses
sion Of the department, and those which
might be acquired were iikoly to be In any
| degree in charge Of the late librarian OF
the Department, it is almost, II not quite,
certain that these propositions of Socrc,
taly Bayard could not have been passed in
Congress. But the change announced TO-
! day removes certain obstacles which
otherwise it would have been impossible
to overcome, and there is NOW a gooC
chance Of possible Congressional action
as there certainly should be.

la the last six weeks in New York, in oil

rare case TO find man who bad kind and
effectionate word to say for the occupant of

Grover Cleveland, for in many respects ne

done some things while President that have
stamped him to be not only patriot, but
statesman of the broadest type.
He made his mistake in tho start by turn
inc hia back upon old democratic veterans
In the party who had fought gallantly and
zealcusly for quarter off century to restore
the democracy to power. He has not only
done this, but he heaped upon what he chose
to term "party workers. bitter rebuking
words, which they could not forget. He also
shut himself up, as it were, and refused to
counsel and have intercourse with old,
time honored, true and genuine leaders of
the democracy of the nation. Believing
that the country was with him, and that ne
would be sustained in his position, he bowed
himself to O sentimentality known as civil
service reform, which lost him thousands
of earnest and thoughtful men in his own
party. He kept in Office until the day OF
the election strong, bitter, and unrelenting
republican psrtisens, who never lost On op-
portunity to stab the very administration
that was giving them bread and meat. This
was done in the face of the fact that
there were thousands of good and COM
petent men Of MIR. Cleveland's own party
really suffering for positions. | can take

licans holding prominent positions in Wash

ocrats of the country. There is no use in
saving that this made 20 difference because
it did 1t rankled in the heart OF every
good democrat. He could not understand
how it was that men he had fought against
for twenty-five years, and finally succeeded
in winning the fight. should hold positions,
and be and his friends be kept out of them.
There can he but one understanding in
American politics, and that is that the party
that wins will stand by the men that placed
it in power Any party that goes against
this rule will suffer defeat as certainly IS
the night fellows the day. The great secret
of republican success, now and heretofore,
has been that the party has been true to its

strange spectacle, and 8 careful watch

Eventually it was found that whale was
blowing and spouling On the lee side o.: the
schooner, where the blood was first noticed,
and partial solution OF the phenomenon
was gained when q swordfsh darted up
close and following that terror of the seas
came the enemy of whaledom, the thrasher

ted) The thrasher sprang from the water
some ten feet into The sir, and with pene-
tratipg crash lighted uroa the whale a
fierce conflict ensued, and Inc result was
that the whale appeared TO be exhausted
from the attack the thrasher made
upon him. Recovering himself, how-
ever, the whale, after eevera efforts,
succeeded in diving below and came up
on tue StefDOeTu SUE VI He cCdooilSi'
The crew then tooE their whaliog iron aud

not hit on vital part The thrasher, fol

time within the sight OF the crew. The

position, made further attack at tho COM

to succumb to his fate with the grace OF

This Is no mythical story Of the sea, hut an
incident of peculiar interest to those who
realize the hostility existing between the
thrasher and tho whale and the character
istics of the swordfsh. The latter knows no
danger. He does not discern between
floating hull end buoyant whale. His
sword Is bound to penetrate either at all
hszartls and risks to himself, and in this re.
spect be is similar to some misguided non.
amphibious creatures.-V Victoria Standard.
