IN 1902, WHAT?

There is much speculation in some
quarters In reference to the election
for president in 1892; especially il
this the case with class Of demo.
Gratis who seem to believe that the
only available man i'm the ranks OF
that party is Grover Cleveland, the
late president Of the mugwumps.
We say president Of mugwumps be-
cause, although the nominee of the
democratic party and by the com
bined forces elected, Mr.. Cleveland,
while president, to a certain extent
ignored his party and catered to the
whims of mugwumps.
We are prepared to do justice to
Mr.. Cleveland, giving him proper
credit for such Of his acts as are de-
serving Of appreciation, but at the
same time claims the right to criti-
else those which are deemed to have
been erroneous.
Nbt tiVupic Win WI IItNtlullu,
and one perhaps which had much
to do with his defeat in 1888, was
that he had been made to believe
that he was n great man-greater
even than the party which placed
him in office, whereas the truth is
there were a great many men i'm
the ranks Of that party of greater
experience in governmental affairs
and Of at least equal mental capa-
city. b..
As to the force of character, moral
and political honesty of Cleveland,
we have nothing to say by way of
unfavorable comment, but being
merely human, that he should have
erred Is by no means matter of
astonishment.
That the mistakes of Cleveland,
committed while president, were 80
numerous and so glaring as to cause
the defeat Of his party in 1888, does
not admit Of IA single doubt in the
opinion of the writer. A man as
president may be justified in COM
mitting an net amounting to suicide
politically, but he has no right,
while killing himself, to kill or even
to cripple the party which hoisted
him into power.
These lines will not probably meet
the eyes of large number of those
democrats who seem so anxious to
see Mr.. Cleveland nominated for
president third time, but we beg
to suggest to any of such persons
that in one opinion wisdom would
indicate the propriety of abandon
ing the idea at once and forever.
The results OF these electiops in
his own state, New York, ought to
convince his friends of the impro-
priety of any further attempts to
carry him.
Look at the figures
For governor l00, 900 majority.
For president in 1884 100000 ma
jority.
For president In 1883 defeated.

Mr.. Davis said that he would be unable to

referred to the historical associa ion of

The camp fire was the best place at which to

1t is noticeable that histories and arti-

southern writers have held back. North
ern histories and articles have been from
northern standpoints, of course, and In
many instances they have been glaringly

They serve the purpose for which they

among people who are not familiar with the
facts highly favorable opinion of the ex-
federal armies and officers, and an unfavor-
able opinion of the ex-confe ierate ones.
The association of ex-conf .derates should
be encouraged in the work it proposes to

A correspondent of the New York World
says that ole reason why the public schools
of New York are overcrowded is because
children who are too young are sent to
school. He says: "Falk with tne teachers
of the primary schools, and they will tell
you that very large majority of the chill
dren between the ages of aud years are
utterly Incapable OF receiving the instruc-
ton designed by the common schools. These
classes are mere nurseries, great accom-.
mediation to the mothers Of these babies. no
doubt, but wrong to the children of proper
school age. Let the board of education
allow none under 6 years of age in the
schools, and there will be, with the present
nu Der of schools, plelty of room for all
the school children of this CITY,"
No doubt this is a correct statement.
Mothers all over the country send Young
children TO school because they w mt to be
rid of the necessity for watching over them
during the day. This speaks badly for the
mothers, and it is a great injustice to the
children.
