Grover Grooming for 1892,

New YORK, March lit Is quite
certain that Mr.. Grover Cleveland
has still an eye turned toward Wash.
ington, aud Is to-day more deeply
interested in the development Of
politics In this city than in the de.
velopment Of the Cleveland depart.
ment of the William street law Arm.
But a condition that confronts Mr..
Cleveland is, that he will have to be.
come identified with one or the other
of the two Democratic factions In this
city, and if he should ally his for
tunes with the losing side, he will
again be in the soup.
Mr.. Cleveland. however, hopes for
denomination to the Presidency.
Last Saturday young gentleman
of the name of Levy called on the
ex"President to procure his autograph
to contract for one years subscrip-
ton to the Forum. After several un.
successful attempts, Mr.. Levy OBJ
tanned an audience with Mr.. Cleve.
land, and got his signature to the
contract.
"And now" said Levy, II hope to
have the honor of voting for you, for
President, in 1892"
"Hush," said Mr.. Cleveland, with
the coyness of a school girl.
"Now. if you talk that way I'll
undo all I've done for you, 80 there
now"
Mr.. Levy says that Mr.. Cleveland
was in the best sort of humor at his
suggestion. and rather showed that
the idea was pleasing to him. albeit
matter away in the future yet.

Tortured for Money.

PITTSBURGH, March 12.-McClel.
lantown. a district twelve miles from
UniontoWn, Pa, in Fayette county
was terrOrized last night by party
of armed and masked robbers, who
entered a number of houses and. after
torturing the inmates until they gave
up whatever money was in their pos
session, ransacked their houses from
cellar to garnet. The first house en-.
tered was that of a farmer named
Anderson. There were FIVE armed
men in the party. They demanded
Anderson's money, and upon pro.
testing that he had none they placed
hot Goals to his feet and compelled
him to give them thirty dollars-all
the money he had. The next place
visited was Farmer Lilly's, short
distance from AndersOn's. The old
man said he had no money, and the
despera,lOes tied him in the bed and
set fire to it. Lilly begged tor mercy,
and finally gave the robbers $3.50,
which he had secreted. He was then
unbound and the fire extinguished.
A truitless search of the house for
valuables followed, after which the
robbers left and went to the house OF
man named Grove. The latter was
put through the same torture but he
had no money, and after thoroughly
ransacking the various rooms the
party left. The last place visited was
the house of an old lady named
Keller, a widow. The robbers bound
and gagged her and threatened all
manner Of torture until she gave
them a pension check, which they
returned. Finding nothing here, they
rode off into the mountains. Armed
searching parties will be organized.
The above is but one of number
of robberies committed recently in
Fayette and Somerset counties. and
in one case murder was added to the
robbery. The practice of keeping
money about the house is dangerous.
Our farmers should send their money
to bank. where it will be safe, and
they relieved from the fear of being
tortured or murdered end their mon.
ey taken from them.

The Clamor for Office.

Forty.eight years ago a citizen of
Indiana, a soldier and statesman,
was inaugurated President of the
United States. Riding with head
uncovered in the raw air of March,
he caught severe cold which had a
disastrous consequences upon his
life and health. A few days rest and
a little relief from the cares of state
would doubtless have restored him
to health again. But a noisy horde
of office-seekers pursued him.day and
night. No rest was vouchsafed to
him, In a short month he was dead,
and history has written the epitaph,
"Slain by the place hunters"
To-day the grandson, himself a
citizen of Indiana, Is master at the
White House. The grandson has
been likewise Senator, soldier and
a statesman. His inaugural dav was
the most inclement that eye ever fell
upon such an august and momentous
occasion, and he, too, is surrounded
by the spoilsmen. Where one came
to claim the attention and sap the
vitality of the grandsire, hundred
now crowd the Offices of the grand
son. Even his public utterance that
persistent importantly will not be
the best support of an application for
Office" Is not sufficient to keep back
the hungry crowd, and if President
Harrison is not dead a month hence
it will be due to his superior vitality.
and not to any consideration of COM
mon decency on the part of politi-

The hungry horde of ofice-seekers
which dog the steps of every new

like hyenas than men in the persis-
tency of their appeals, Fitness for
the position desired is not considered.
