ChIIds, in the Philadelphia Publc Ledger, August, 1888, seems deserv ed:
 "Cleyeland's administration has been free from official or personal scandal, has been honest and clean. There have been no Star Route rob berries; no War Department corrup- tons; no protligaie waste by United States Marshals; no treasury combi- nations or speculations; no corrupt operations in or through the land office. No American, at home or abroad, has had occasion to droop his eyes in shame because of any such things under Mr. Cleveland s administration. On the contrary. there has been [ resolute effortto pro mote honest government, to increase efficiency and to lessen expenses.

POWELL Clayton is engaged in writing a series of letters on the subject of election frauds in Arksn. sas. If the ex-governor would tell all he knows about election frauds Tn Arkansas twelve years ago when his party was in power, it would be interesting reading. The very fact that he added and abetted the most fragrant and glaring frauds then, de. tracts from the weight of his utter. ances now. A month hence his great solicitude in behalf of fair cleo. tions in Arkansas will have subsided the national election will be over.

PRESIDENT Cleveland has sent to congress his approval Of the Chinese restriction bill and accompanied 1t with s message which goes over the entire ground covered by the Chi. nese question, and places the respon. sbility for the necessity of such act as the restriction bill upon the Chi nese government, which has signally failed to carry out it's expressed pur- pose of aiding in the eurtailment Of the steady flow of it's laboring popu. lstion to the United States. The news Of the Presidents action was received on the Pacific coast with marked degree of interest and hearty expressions of approval.
