1t Suits Cleveland,

New York, Sept. a1.-A reporter to-
day asked ex-President Cleveland for
his opinion on the action of several re-
cent democratic state conventions in ap-
proving the tariff reform plank of the
last national democratic convention.
Mr.. Cleveland expressed himself as
much pleased with the evidences that
the attitude of the democratic party on
this question was still courageous, CON
sistent and aggressive. He thought that
the careful examination of the tariff
question by the people was bearing good
fruit, and that all indications pointed
to the democratic party's view of the
subject. He added: ssIf among those
counted as democrats there are found
timid souls. not well grounded in the
faith, who long for the flesh-pots OF
vascillating shifts and cvasions, the
answer to their fears should be Party
honesty is party eXpeliency.'"

Silver for Dollars,

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Win
dom has decided that in the purchase of
silver for coinage into standard silver
dollars, he will hereafter accept the low
est offers for the amount required, pro-
vided the price is within the market
rate required by law. This reverses
the practices of the department under
the last administration of making
counter offers, and is return to the
practice which prevailed prior to 1885.
The change in the practice is said to be
due to representations by bankers and
others that the practice of making
counter offers was in OBJECT an attempt
by the government to sbeat'' the silver
market by forcing down the market
rate. Secretary Window, in speaking
of the matter this Afternoon, said that
his action meant nothing more than ap-
peared on the surface, and was not o
be understood as indicating any change
in the policy of the administration in
the matter of the coinage of silver.

Statistics of sleep rnay not prove any
thing of Importance, but they are inter-
esting. According to statistics pre-
pared in Russia, the need of sleep is
greater in women than in men, the du-
ration of sleep being longer and the per-
centage of tired morning and evening
and of not tired being 3 to 2 and 2 to B.,
respectively, as compared to the men.
Students sleep longer and are less tired
than other men. The time needed to
fall asleep is about the same in all three
classes-20.s minutes for the men. ia
minutes for students, and 2l.2 minutes
for women. In each case, however, it
takes longer for those who are frequent
dreamers and light sleepers to fall
asleep than persons of opposite charac.

cision Of the Ex-Commissioncr.

WASHINGTON, Sept. pt.21.-Assistant Sec

Commissioner Tanner in rejecting the
application for pension of r. NJ. Deitz,
late corporal in Company G., Thirtieth
New Jersey volunteers. He applied for
pension for epilepsycontracted while on
duty about June /, 1863. The evidence
showed that he was not subject to epi-
lepsy prior to his entrance into the army,
and careful investigation into his his
tory developed no cause to which his
present disability could be ascribed
other than his army service. His claim
was rejected for insuti:ciency of evi
dence, but General Bussey holds that in
the absence of evidence of any other
cause to which the alleged disability
can be ascribed, whatever doubt there
may exist, should be retained in favor
of the appellant, and he therefore de.
cides that he be pensioned Assistant
Secretary Bussey has rejected claim
for pension of Alvah II. Walker, filed
by his nearest friend" DR.. Mary E..
Walker, his sister. The allegation is
that Walker received sunstroke while
in the service, but after sitting the evil
dence General Bussey finds that it is in
sufficient to establish the facts alleged,
and ''the claimants general appearance,
his habits as to work, his mental eccen-
tricities, are shown to have been about
the same before his service as they have
been since, barring the effects of advanc-

Smith, colored man living five OF

seven foot alligator in steel trap set
for the purpose in Muckales creek. The
trap caught the ugly brute by one zoe on
his hind foot and held him securely.
When the negro found that he had
secured his prize he notified the white
people, who took their guns and went to
the creek. The negro took a long pole,
put it under the beast, lifted it up so
that the parties could fire at the white

Forgery Added to Theft.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 21.-Investiga-
ton by the state officials and parties
largely interested in state securities
continues TO develop new eases of fraud
every day. 1t now appears that forgery
has been added to theft in the fraudu-
lent floating Of bonds of the state
through the criminality or carelessness
of the states trusted servants. In addi-
ton to the $685. of consolidated
bonds, upon which interest payments
had just been stopped, and many of
which presumably ALL have been sur
reptitiously put upon the marketinstead
of being cancelled, there have been dis
covered a number of 4 per cents. issued
under the act 12l of 1880, and known
as constitutional bonds, that are clearly
an over-issue made in fraud. How the
blank form got out of the possession of
their proper hands, who fixed them up
and affixed the signatures or the governor
and state treasurer may only be dis
closed through the criminal courts. But
the fact is settled that while the high
est legal issue of the 300 series of these
bonds is No. 200, numbers at least as
high as 2I2 are outstanding, and of the
$500 series (the legal limit of which is
No. 50) bonds as high as No. sc are
ailoat. To what extent this fraud may
go ana its ramifications a short time
will disclose. Opinion at the stock ex-
change is about equally divided in the
discussion of the bond question. Same
of the members state that Major T.. A.
Burke, the late state treasurer. is posi-
lively to blame for the present trouble,
while others express themselves as sat
