HE SHOULD TELL The TRUTH
HIMSELF.

The speech of ex.President Cleveland,
the corpulent and discredited prophet of
free trade and Democracy, at the Thurman
characteristic effort 1t Is to be noted that
in recent years he has ceased to turn to the
Encyclopedias Britannica as q source of his
public addresses. One idea has at last
found q Judgment in his head, and he
holds that up to the public in various
lights at every opportunity and on every
occasion. appropriate or Inappropriate.
His cry is always for free trade. and he de-
nounces with a degree of vituperation UNI
worthy, ii not OF Cleveland, at least of the
position which he once held. those who
differ with him upon the great economic
question OF free trade or protection.
One sentence of Mr.. Cleveland's latest
effort comes with peculiarly bad grace
Referring to the recent election he says:
They 1.-THE people) have also declared
that the decalogue has a place in our
politics. for they have enforced the CON-
mandment Thou shalt not steal and
have rendered an emphatic verdict against

A nice man Grover Cleveland is to speak
OF verdict against those who have borne
false witness. He stands before she public
today . convicted liar. The aisgraceful
episode OF his repudiated interview in the
New York World q few months ago has
not been forgotten. Irritated by the
just comments of the New York
San upon his mental. moral and physical
grossness, he gave vent to q food of
profanity and billingsgate. When his re-
marks, so toned down as TO be lit for publi-
cation. appeared in the Woyid he denied
the language of which he had made use.
Through the influence of Mr.. Cieveland's
political friends the World Was induced to
deny the authenticity of the interview,
though its denial involved denial OF the
veracity OF Mr.. Frederick Crawford, one

the prohibition movement involves. 1t is

rRoUBLs TO BE APrREHEsDED.


The assurances Of Government employees
and army officers that there will be no
trouble with the Indians in Montana and
Dakota must be taken with some degree of
allowance.
II reports are true, the Indians of large
section Of the country are being swayed by
religious fanaticism. They believe that
new prophet has appeared, and that they
are called upon to follow him to the ex-
termination of the whites. II is a we'll
known fact that the most bloody and dis
sstrous wars Of history are those into which
the spirit of religious fanaticism has en-
tered; and nothing so inspires and unifies
. savage people IS the belief that they are
guided in their warfare by q superhuman
power. 1t was this belief that made the
6aracsns invincible. 1t was this belief that
carried the Crusaders to Jerusalem. 1t was
this belief that made Of the miserable and
beggarly Arabs Of the Soudan the most dar-
ing and dauntless enemies that have tried
the metal of British soldiers during the
present century.
This element has. for the most part, been
lacking in our Indian wars. If it is sup
piled now, If the Indians become thoroughly
imbued with the belief that the new Mes
siah has come among them. and that in
waging war on the whites they are follow
ing his will. it is not improbable that an
outbreak will occur more serious than any
that has taken place since 1s76.

Among the conspicuous incidents of No
vember 4th, 1890. Nebraska has been added
to the list of states in which the Prohibi-
ton movement has led to pervcrsion of
political conditions. The attempt to in-
corporate . prohibition amendment into
Nebraska's constitution has been the
direct and unmistakabie cause OF giving to
that state . Democratic Governor and .
solid Democratic delegation in the National
House Of Representatives. That this is
any gain to the cause OF prohibition, or of
temperance. or In the line Of better govern

will claim.
