ANTI-nLRVELANDIsM.

The New York Sun few days ago con-
tanned significant editorial intimating to Mr.
Cleveland the wisdom and prudence of an
early withdrawal from the presidential race
On the heels of this comes a report from
Washington of a meeting of anti-Cleveland
Democrats. The meeting included several
Democratic Senators, Representatives and
others high in the party councils. The Tam
many influence. of New York, is known to be
opposed to Mr.. Cievelands denomination
There are some indications tnat these various
influences are coming to a focus, and we may
have before long an open anti Cleveland
movement in the Democratic party This
would not be surprising. Mr.. Cleveland has
not and never bad a strong hold on his party
He owed his first nomination solely to consid-
erations OF expediency and availability. He
was not nominated because he was great
man, strong man or popular man among
Democrats, but because circumstances
pointed to him as an available candidate for
that race. His later career has not strength
ened him with his party. He is not big

edge OF affairs is limited and his political ex-
perience small. His egotisrn and self-asser-
ton are in an inverse ratio to his political
wisdom. He has tried to lord it over Demo
Gratis who are bigger men thar he in every way
He has counted largely on his being man
of destiny and has assumed that the Dem
ocratic party would be compelled by the force
of circumstances to nominate him in 1885,
just as it was in 1884, whether it wanted to or
not.
Thus far the party has fallen in with that
idea, and he has had plain sailing. The De-
mocracy have been pretending that Cleveland
was great man, extremely popular with his
party, the only man to be thought Of as his
own successor etc. Meanwhile, the really
big men and shrewd politicians. the candi-
date-makers of the party, have had very little
to say. Now they are getting ready to act.
The recent meeting in Washington fore
shadows startling developments in the politi-
cal situation. Mr.. Cleveland may wake up

The timely action of the Board of Alder
men has brought the Council to its side and
placed both bodies right the question of

wise settlement, and, happily, the city's rep

and yet there should be no longer delay than

and best interests of the city by placing it n

The new treaty with China, sent to the
Senate yesterday, will. if ratified, settle the
question of Chinese immigration on the basis
of friendly understanding between the two
countries. It provides for the absolute prohi-
bition of the entrance of Chinese laborers
into the United States for period of twenty
years. subject TO renewal thereafter. The
only exceptions to this prohibition are such

or property to the amount of S., 900. Chinese
laborers now in the country, if they leave, can
not return, except the classes above named.
The treaty also provides for the payment by
the United State, of the sum of $276.619, as
full indemnity for losses and injury inflicted
on Chinese by mob violence in Wyoming and
elsewhere. The treaty seems to have been
conceived in spirit of fairness, and, if rati-
fed, will practically remove the Chinese ques-
ton from politics.

This should read s.about two rallies from the

one Of the largest. yields an abundant supply
of gas for any manufacturing establishment I,
and there is every reason to believe that the
section of country south Of there and to with
in mile of the city limits would furnish
paying wells. In other words, manufacturing
establishments locating along the line of the
Belt railroad, or on the line of the Lake Erie &
Western road between here and Malott Park,
can obtain their own gas by boring for it. Any
ordinary factory would save good deal more
than the cost of a well in single year.

a RRUTAL OUTRAGE.

That is queer story that comes from Cas-
tie Garden of the refusal by Collector Magone
ead the Commissioner Of Emigration to per-
NIT the wife of an American citizen to land.
AS the story goes. Mrs. Magnusson, with her
two children, arrived on the steamer Alaska,
two weeks ago, the intention being to join her
husband who has been resident of Mime
sofa for eight years. The woman herself had
lived in that State for four years, her eldest
child having been born there, but three years
ago had returned to Sweden. she was met at
Castle Garden by relative, who had tickets
journey West. All would have been
WELL perhaps, had the Commits
sioner not detected signs of in
sanity in the woman. Upon this
it was decided that she should be returned to
Sweden. and in spite of the protestations of
her friends she was confined in the Insane
Asylum at Wards Island. AS matter of
course this treatment caused her mental con-
dition to become worse, and she is now hope
lessly insane. In her more lucid moments,
however, she cllngs TO her children, ana they
will not be separated from her, although the
father, too poor to make the long journey to
New York, writes asking that they be- sent to
him. This case if correctly reported, is
without parallel. The law provides for
proper supervision over immigrants
and. the return of paupers, and the
persons shipped here by foreign authorities
with the evident intention of getting rid of
public charge; but it certainly does not con
template the arbitrary separation of family
and the classification foreigners of the wife
and children of a man who has right to be
regarded as an American citizen. The action
of the officials is an outrageous exercise Of
power and authority, and should be thor
oughly investigated. not only for the sake Of
these helpless Swedes, but to guard against
further abuses of the same sort. The United
States will have a reputation for brutality
that will cover it with shame the world over
if such things can be allowed in the name of
