4 POINT FOR CONSULTATION

President Cleveland has written letter
denying that he ever made use Of one of the
expressions in Rgard to free trade which has
been attributed to him. His friends regard
this denial as conclusive and expect the general
public thus to regard it, But is there not a
serious difficulty in the way, and that, too, Of
Mr.. Cle' eands own making? -Four years ago
he wrote another letter. Over his own sigma
ture he stated in the most emphatic manner
that he was opposed to the eligibility of Presi-
dent for reelection. He placed his opposition
on high public grounds. He asserted that a
second term candidacy was "a most serious
danger' to the common welfare. Now by ac-
cepting denomination Mr. Cleveland dis
credited his letter Of acceptance of 1884. But
if what he wrote in regard to second term
was deceptive, why should his denial of the
free-trade remark attributed to him be re-
garded as trustworthy?
We are sure the public would be glad to hear
from Mr.. Cleveland's partisans on this in
teresting point.

France. The reports Of Labor Commissioner
Wright abundantly suffice to prove that there
has been general advance in wages in this
country since 1880. But British statistics
make it clear that in Great Britain there has
been little If any advance The average of
wages paid in this country was fully double the
average paid in Great Britain in 1880, and
therefore must be more than double in 1888.
Such are the results of the Protective policy,
which President Cleveland and the advocates
of the Mills bill are endeayoring to break down.
1t rests with the wage-earners themselves to
decide whether they shall succeed.

This appropriation of $4,000 for the ex-
penses of telephone counsel was only the first
instalment. Another of 50 900 was already
in hand on the same account, and it is prob
able that subsequent demands for moro money
for special counsel have also been grounded
upon the same litigation. This was the Gov
eminent suit that was thrown out of two United
States Courts as soon as the pleadings were
heard. Every point of law and fact involved
in it was already before the court of last re-
sort. 1t was the most iniquitOus and barren
litigation with which the Department of Justice
had ever been connected. The Governments
special counsel were turned out of court in
Ohio and Massachusetts so ANONYMOUSLY on
the preliminary arguments that they had, per-
haps, to be handsomely paid in compensation
for wounded vanity. Mr.. Goode, who as So
licitor-General was primarily responsible for
the Governments intervention, received af er
Mr.. Lowrey the largest share. The Democratic
candidate for the Vice-Presdency was more
modest in his charges, but he, too, had his fee
for his services in whitewashing what Mr..
Randall scornfully described as "a sink Of in
Justice" The fumgation of the Attorney
Generals Office under this " REFORM Admins
traion has necessarily been most expensive
job The only wonder is that the deficiencies
do not exceed 100000.

in Washington for the purpose of collecting
campaign funds from Federal office holders
He takes pains to announce that :" in all cases
contributions are wholly volsstary." That is
form of words which deceives nobody. But
whether voluntary or otherwise. the proceed
ing is clearly in violation of the law-not of its
spirit only, but of its specific text. Mr.. Nc
Pherson makes this plain in the letter that is
contained in our Washington dispatches. The
National Committee, which contains among
it's members Senators and Representatives, can
not lawfully do through an authorized repre-
sentative what the law does not permit its
members themselves to do.

The people of Chemung County were fortu-
nate yesterday in having the opportunity OF
listening to two speeches by Warner Miller
To-day Governor Hill will also speak, and
fine chance will be afforded for studying the
two candidates at short range. In his address
at the State Fair at Elmira, MIR. Miller es-
chewed politics, talking to the farmers about
agriculture only. In speaking of the farmers
prosperity, a reference to the protective tariff,
however, seemed unavoidable. 1t will be curl
GUS to observe whether Mr.. Hill Will show the
same discretion as his rival. The Governors
"views' on agriculture would attract notice
But he could probably say nothing so well
worth remembering as Mr.. Cleveland's remark
ON similar occasion about the land staying
where it is and not having the habit of moving
from place to place.

Can 1t Be Trua2

WHEELING, W. Va, April 1S.-A
special to the IntelIiGencer, from Charles
town, says report has reached there
that a man in Calhoun County, who
was away selling cattle, on returning
home late on Wednesday night, in
company with a peddler, discovered a
light in the window, and when he
looked in, he saw his wife and his three
children lying dead on the floor. He
also saw four men in the room. The
peddler drew his revolver and was told
to make noise at the back of the
house. The men inside rushed out and
three of them were killed outright, the
fourth being badly wounded. It is i'm
possible, at present, to verify the story,
but the man who brought it is con-
sidered reliable.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IL. A fire at
Palo Alto, tonight, burned portion
of the stables of Senator Leland Stan
ford. The following horses were roasted
to death, Clifton Belle, Rexford. Emma
Robertson. Troubaoour, Lowell and
Howard. Norlaine, which has a trotting
record the fastest for yesrling in the
world. is not dead. but it is impossible
for her to live. Two or three others
will probably die. The loss will reach
at least 5000 COO
Later de- ais go to show that the fire
was incendiary. A very few minutes
before the flames were discovered in
the shed the Waterman made his usual
rounds and found everything in proper
order. He had not reached his room
before the fire was discovered. and al
most before the stabiemen could raise
the cry, the one-story wooden sheds
were blazing fiercely. Every person on
the farm at once made an effort to
liberate the valuable racers, but the
heat drove the men back and they were
forced to witness the cremation of the
horses without being able to lift hand
to save them.
Later reports say the horses, Paio
Alta and Msnzsnita, are safe. Nor
laine and CeGaic cennot live. Among
the horses that persisted was Kris

Failed to Respond

ST. LOUIS, April 18.-Mose Fraley, q
leading speculator in st. Louis grain
markets, announced his inability to
meet further margins, and is now on
the floor settling his deals. Last night
he stated to friends that he had put up
| 5000, 600 in cash and would be unable to
put up any more checks given yester-
day after banking hours failed to pass
the clearing house, but to-day Fraley
said funds were forthcoming to take
them up. He has been d leading bear
OF the market in the past year, and is
short in large quantities of all grains.
The failure is far more than half
million. Fraley says he will pay dol
lar for dollar.
There was quite furry on change
this morning when it was announced
that Moses Fraley was endeavoring to
make settlement. 1t was learned
that he was short about 100000
bushels of May corn in st. Louis, and
$500 600 short at Chicago, and about
100000 short in July wheat in St.
Louis and Chicago, having sold when
the market advanced from AK and
TAI respectively, while this morning it
WIS 525s and S45s respectively. He
effected his settlement at 81 cents On
corn and S2M O. So on wheat, and at IL
O'Clock announced that he was out of
both in st. Louis and Chicago. In the
wheat deal. he was short to General D.
2. Grier, about half a million bushels
of corn, and when asked for a settle
ment, he was offered 81 cents
below Chicago prices. The usual
difference approaches 5 cents.
When Fraley appeared in the pit, he
found disposition on the part of some
of the bulls to do him up, and it was
freely stated that an effort was being
made to squeeze him to death. General
Grier declared that he had nothing to
do with such move. He said he was
compelled to follow the market, as he
was long" here and short" in Chi
cago, and he was not acting for himself,
but tor others. An effort was likewise
made to bid up wheat, but Sgd.

"At the risk even of the Senator's con-

Sherman reiterated his previous

Packard, that President Hayes lad no
