CLEVELAND TO THE 'FRONT.'
He Writes a Very Sensible Letter to tn,
Brooklyn Democracy.

Brooklyn Democracy.
BROOKLYN, Nov. 1-Gov. Hill addressed
a large audience in the Academy of
music tonight at which the following let
ter was read:
John P. Adams, President.
DEAR SIR have received your invitation
rendered on behalf Of the democratic organizs-
ton of Kings county, and / confess that il
is difficult for me to decline the courtesy,
or disappoint the wishes of such kind
party friends. / cannot. however, sat-
isfy myself that l ought, by
accepting your invitation, to depart from the
course which / have followed in all
similar cases. / know how ably the
speakers who address the meeting viii
present the topics which are prominent in the
canvass and how well the claims of our candi-
dates to the public confidence will be sd-
vocated.
The thought which is uppermost in my mind
leads me to suggest that this is q time for
against the indifference and lack of
activity which are apt to result from the re-
action of a recent presidential campaign. and
which, also, too often exist when the grade
and character of the Offices TO be filed
are not such as inspire the greatest
party enthusiasm. We should constantly bear
in mind that every election involving demo-
cratic principles is important to our party, and
that differences should not be permitted
TO invite defeat when fit and worthy men and
true democrats are presented as candidates for
public Office. In the pending campaign,
though the campaign has to do with
state policy and state Offices, IL cannot
be denied that il is also related in an
important way to fundamental party prin-
ciples, and it should be our pleasure,
as it is our duty, to give active
and earnest support TO the worthy and hon.
nd he ,ha-m
of the democratic party who are our
candidates. | hope that your mass-meeting
may be the means of arousing that democrats
activity, watchfulness and enthusiasm which will
insure democratic success. Yours, very truly,
New York, Nov. 1. GROVER CLEVELAND.

NOT WILLIE, AFTER ALL.
The Supposed Tascott Identified rs Another
Criminal.


Criminal.
CHICAGO, Oct %. = Philadelphia's suspect
proves not to be Tascott, after all. The pho
tographs taken in Philadelphia arrived this
morning and were pronounced by everyone
who knows Willie to be not of that individual.
Yet only this morning, before the result Of the
examination of the photographs had been COM
municated to the Philadelphia authorities,
young man called at the Philadelphia Jail and
identified Sutherland as Tascott, saying he had
often played pool with the latter In Chicago
A marked difference between the prisoner and
Tascott is found in the fact that the formers
hair is very thick and heavy, while the latter's
was very thin. Late in the day, Philadelphia
dispatches say Sutherland confessed that he
was Samuel Bowman, who was released from
the Ohio penitentiary last April, after serving
two years and half for robbing an Urbana
jewelry salesman of three thousand five hun
dred dollars worth of goods. He will probably
be in the Pennsylvania prison within a week,
as he has confessed to several forgeries.
The photograph of another supposed Tascott
was received from the authorities at BerthOud,
Col, this morning. 1t is that of a stylishly
dressed young woman, straight of figure and
with a slim, rather elongated face. A lock of
rather coarse, straight brown hair clipped from
the young woman's head accompanies it In
the letter of transmitta it is said that the orgi
nal of the photograph and the owner of the
hair was arrested in the garb shown and was
found to be a man. When his sex was revealed
he gave his name as Phil Poland and says that
ne came from Colfax, Wash The letter adds
that the authorities of Berthoud have traced
his movements since last June when he was in
Waitsville, Wash. He is now sick with typhoid
fever so that it has been impossible to
present an adequate photograph of him IN
mans clothing. Ii attired in woman's garments
he does not resemble Tascott.

BLAINE ARJEcTLY APoLoGisEs.
Minister Romero Makes Blaine Eat His
Words.

hOrESs
CRY OF MEXICO, Oct. 30.-Minister
Romero has written as follows concerning
Mr. Misener's speech in Costa Rica:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. l5.-I have the
honor to transmit to you copy and transla-
ton OF a note from Mr.. Blaine bearing this
date wherein he acknowledges the receipt of
that which / sent complaining in the name
that republic that Mr.. Misener, u. S. minister
last August when he was received by the presi-
dent of Costa Rca. Mr.. Blaine states that as
soon as that address was delivered in the state
department Mr.. Misener was informed of the
pain that its reading caused, because it lent
itself TO an Interpretation unfayorable to the
Mexican government. Mr.. Blaine in his note,
has not limited himself to that, but he says in
.he most emphatic manner, that the speech was
delivered without authority from the U. s. gov
ernment, and that he regrets and disapproves
of 1t in the most absolute manner. With as
surances of my highest consideration,
NJ. ROMERO.
Just what the offensive remarks were
does not appear to be known in Washing
ton. Minister Misener's presentation
speech has never been printed here, and,
If the state department officials have
copy of it, they will not give it out. Secy.
Blaine himself may be the real author of
the offensive remarks. All such addresses
are carefully revised at the state depart
ment, so that either Secy. Blaine is the
responsible party or Misener has so far
departed from the lines set down for him
that he is bound to be recalled

The Patrons of Husbandry Doing n Big
Business in Michigan.
PORT HURON, Mich, Oct 2S-Not less than
5000 Michigan farmers have joined the
patrons Of hnsbandry since last May and the
number is increasing every week, They
threaten to be the controlling power in the
politics of the state and then to spread over
the entire country. The patrons claim to have
been forced into being by the monopolies and
trusts and they propose to organize a combina-
ton that will strike terror to the hearts Of
their enemies. At present the patrons are de-
voting themselves exclusively TO the merchants
and in every town where they have foothold
they enter into an ironclad contract with one
dealer in each line of trade 10 purchase only
from him, exacting pledge that they shall not
be charged TO exceed IL per cent advance on
wholesale prices. The patrons have lodges iu
forty-seven counties Kent leading with mem.
bership of more than 5000. The general Offices
are located in this city and the Rev. w. Z.
Verbucan, an old time presbyterian preacher,
is the supreme president In February a state
convention will be held at Flint. The year
following there will be gathering from all
over the country at Lansing. There are no
rich men among the patrons, but many pros
porous farmers and few unsuccessful poll
ficians.

THE FIRST REPORT.
Secy. Rusk Gives His Views on the Agri-
cultural Department.

Secy. Rusk Gives His Views on the Agri-
cultural Department
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Uncle Jerry Rusk.
secretary of agriculture, has prepared the frst
annual report OF his department. He proposes
to thoroughly reorganize the department, a
work which has been hampered because the ap-
preparations have been too small, being based on
the work of the old bureau. A striking contrast
is drawn between this amount and the appro-
priations for agriculture made by those coun-
tries which, the report says, ARE the most
active competitors of American farmers in the
worlds market" comparison shows that
Great Britain appropriates for agriculture
81 800 900; Germany, S2,S50,000; Brazil, S20,-
100000 for agriculture and mines; France,
SS000,000 and Austria more than $4,0O0,OO0.
The secretary finds that the provision for an
assistant secretary in the new law was wise
one.
The department bulletins are given to the
agricultural press. Citing the circulation of the
papers which have received and utilized the
synopses furnished by the department, the
secretary regards the plan as virtually covering
the entire field, "for," be adds, "the farmer
who does not read some paper devoted to his
calling is beyond the reach of intelligent effort
on his behalf" The division of statistics, the
character and value of its work, is dwelt
upon at some length. OF the crop re-
porting system. he says: while approximate
and valuable, IL Is In danger OF becoming us
credited by the popular acceptance of its re-
suits as exact in precision and absolute in
authority. 1t should be remembered that they
are not the conclusions of a thorough census;
that they are the consultations of local esti-
mates of agricultural experts, and are intended
as foil to the interested, biased and untruth-
full statements that spectators issue to mislead
their victims"
The secretary wants an agricultural survey
of the country made and also wants the de-
partment represented at state and county fairs.
The experimentation are a success and
should be maintained and extended. Forest
preservation should be Immediately attended
to. A library and museum are needed. A
national meat inspection law is needed.

DETER THAN GOLD.

Bette. than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles thousand fold,
Is healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please:
heart that can feel for anothers woe.
And share It's joys with a genial glow;
With sympathies large enough to enfold
AL men as brothers. is better than gold.
Better than gold is conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in IN humble
sphere,
Ooubly blessed with content and health,
Untried by the lust or the cares of wealth:
Lowly living md lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor mans cot:
For mind and morals. in natures plan,
Arc the genuine tests of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
VI the gems OF toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumber
deep,
Bring sleepy drnughts to the downy bed,
Whore luxury pillows its aching head,
Tut he his simple opiate deems
a shorter route to tho land of dreams.
Better than gold is n thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can find
a treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore;
Tho sages lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empire pass away;
Tho worlds great dream will thus unfold,
And yield II pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home,
When all the freside characters come:
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
Hallowed ly mother, or sister, or wife;
However humble the home may be,
Or trod with sorrow by heavens decree
The blessings that never were bought nor
