Mr.. Cleveland may never again
be President. It will be the coun-
try's misfortune if he is not. But
he will shine in history as immeas-
urably superior to to the present oc-
cupant of the White Honse as the
sage of Greystone was to the hen
raising nonenity who now lives
somewhere in Ohio. Although hav-
ing no Offices at his disposal, his ut
terances receive more attention and
have more weight than anything
that comes from the present occu-
pant of the White House. Cleve-
land is a power yet, and he is in
good health. Democrats admire him

crate dead lie buried together.

Mr.. John V. Haslam, of St.
Louis, has on exhibition the finest
pair of fishing rods ever exhibited
in that city. They are made of spe-
cially adapted South American wood,
and SO pliable that the tip can be
brought close against the butt, when
it will spring back again like piece
of steel. There are two of these ex-
cellent rods in a beautiful case of
plush, and were made by Mr.. Has

land. Mr.. Haslam says he still be-
lieves in "Cleveland's luck" and is
sure he will catch the presidency
next time.
