Talk with Grover Cleveland.
WHAT He HAS TO SAY ABOUT OHIO POLL
TICS AND TARIFF REFORM.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer yes
terday printed long, authorized interview
with Grover Cleveland, of which the fol-
lowing are the most salient points: Mr..
Cleveland didn't want to talk. He said he
thought he had talked. d.enough. Besides,
everything he says for publication gives his
enemies an opportunity to "mount" him,
as he expressed it. He spoke enthusiastic
cally of his trip to Ohio on the occasion of
the recent banquet to the "Old Roman"
ssWhat do you think of the condition of
Ohio, politicallyP"
sit seems to me that the State is in the
best of hands; certainly that there has been
a wonderful change of sentiment on the
tariff question within the last few years.
There is absolutely no division in the State
now on that question, as far as can learn.
1t is only two or three years since, for local
reasons, the Ohio democrats were exces-
sively timorous on the subject of tariff re
form. Free wool was nightmare. The
State conventions and some Of the congress
clause in their platforms on that subject.
Yet, even then, some of the protectionist
democrats got out beyond their depth. Oh,
you are setting lively pace out in Ohio.
The movement for reduction of tariff tax
alton has even invaded Pennsylvania, the
stronghold of high protection. All the ma
terial interests of that State are bound up
lin the protection theory and committed to
the preservation of the war duties which
have benefited them SO much, and yet
headway has been made there. In the late
campaign, it is true, national issues did not
figure extensively in the canvass. 1t was
a contest between the selfish and unscrupu-
lous methods of self constituted bosses on
the one hand and good government on the
other. And it was a sublime spectacle to
witness the triumph of deoenoy. But not
withstanding the nature of the campaign,
the tariff reform doctrine had its effect
there, as it had in the States of the Union
where it unmistakably asserted itself on
the day of the election. The result tends
to re-establish mans faith in the integrl-
ty of the people. No one had suspicion
of the spontaneity and the strength Of the
uprising. don't suppose single demo-
orat, in the widest dreams of his imagina-
tion, came within 50-no, I'll say 100-of
the democratic majority in the next House.

Gratis say that we would have fifty majority

body supposed it would be MORE"
Mr.. Cleveland, after inquiring about Gov.
Csmpbell's health, spoke admiringly of the
Governor. Campbell is growing man."
said he, land think his prestige is con-
stantly increasing. His fight for municipal
reform in Cincinnati may not have been
polite, but it was certainly brave act, and
the people applaud bravery. I myself
would be chary aboat admitting that
Campbell had made mistake after the
consummate ability ne displayed 10 handl-
ing the ballot-box forgery csse."

A PETRIFlED PEACH.


Upon my table. is peach,
A free.stone. suppose;
With body rolled in yellow gold,
And on its cheek, a rose.
1t Is luscious treat for me:
My lips with water run;
stay the pen, and let 1t be.
Until the fruit Is done.
Then reach forth to take the peach
With open knife in hand:
lift 1t up. I put it down,
AS II by stern command.
1t has the look and form of fruit
But all the weight Of lead;

But now is petrifed.

 Omcer in Italy Forced to Resign.
 STOCKHOLM, Sept. 15.-The body of Ericsson was removed from the United States steamer Baltimore yesterday and conveyed ashore in royal barge, which was plainly draped in black.
 Upon landing, the casket was car ried by sailors of the Baltimore to the pavilion specially erected to receive it. The Governor of Stockholm received the body. After the brief, formal remarks attending the transfer, the body was escorted by an enormous procession to the railway station.
 The cortege was headed by the official representatives of the King, the Grown Prince, the American Ministers to Sweden and Denmark, the officers of the Baltimore, bodies of infantry and cavalry, and many distinguished Swedish officials and citizens. At the station the body was placed in an elaborately draped carriage and con veyed by special train to Filipstad, near the great engineers birthplace: Here the body will lie Tn state unblA the public funeral and interment.
 It is estimated that OO,OOO people witnessed the transit of the body from the Baltimore to the rail way station. Minute guns were fired by the shore forts and the Baltimore's guns while the body was being landed Admiral Peyron, head of the Swsdish navy, was in command of the funeral barge, and accepted the body for con veyance ashore.
 The harbor was a mass of flags, Ves- sells of all nations doing honor to the dead. The quays and the streets lead ing to the railway station were thronged with people, who uncovered their heads and maintained most re- spectful demeanor.
 This evening and tomorrow the Bal timore's officers will be entertained at l official banqusts and receive other honors at the hands of the representa- tives of the grateful people. On every side praise of the American people and Government is heard.
 On Wednesday the officers of the Baltimore will dine with the King at the royal palace in Drothningholm.

 Mother, that dear. sweet, matchless name, synonym for the tenderest, truest love man ever knew. has been elim- mated from the fashionable vocabulary, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Tn tho revised edition of the gilt-edged lex icon it is bracketed obsolete.
 Only few years ago war was made on the common pronunciation of the word mamma, and in spite of usage the French method was carried, that is, with the accent on the last syllable. Now, mother, mamma, and old-fashioned ''ma" have been set aside as common place and various terms of endearment substituted. One of the wealtniest ladies in New York has taught her two little sons to call her ''precious." Dear one" is the favorite address in She homo of a rich and distinguished politician, and the scions of the largest estate in the country call the young mother 'love of mine" and the proud father Prince Charming" But the most common term of endearment among the children of the upper class is sweetheart" Con- ing from the little folks. scarcely able to utter the sounds of the letters, it is very pretty, especially at table or in the nursery, when the small child has griev- ance or a heartache. 1t is not, however, a convenient or eallable name at the foot of tho stairs, when the immediate pres- ence or audience of a gentlewoman is needed. Since the abrogation of ''dear- est" which had as long a run as the Fauntleroy sash and collar, "dearie" has enjoyed considerable popularity, but of late intrenchments have been made up- on the lovers territory and all their tender appellations appropriated.
 Sweet one." my own," ''lovely," 'sheart's-ease," ''dear heart" queen" |" darling" and ''sweetness" are some of the pet names to which loving and lova- ble mothers respond. And after all there is something very tender and very sweet in this love-making of parents and children, albeit the dignity implied by plain mother" may appear to be lacking. It Is just possible that there is too much severity in our relations with the little ones, and that better, truer, hrmer friendship may accrue from this child worship. One thing is cer- tain, that there can be no arrangement between the Teal lovers of home. It is the sweet privilege of every mother to be the idol of her daughters and the sweetheart of her sons,, and she has only herself to blame if the child-lover tires of her and in the monday of life forgets the glory that frightened his morning. "Mother" may do for the daughter and son that the marriage ties will bring to the roof tree, but if a sweeter, dearer name can be invented by all means let us have it to use, tc hear and to love.

 LONDON, Sept. 15.-The situation at Southampton is chaotic, the various bodies of strikers being at loggerheads, and neither workmen, employers nor the public being able to prophecy to what extent work will be resumed. At an immense meeting of the striking seamen and fremsn it was decided tn at if their latest demands were not agreed to by noon to-day they will Aban don the port in @ body, leaving numerous vessels without crews.
 There are 6 good many members oi these unions, however, who are dis satisfied with the meagrsness of the amount paid them by the unions during idleness, and who therefore favor . return to work on the conditions pro posed by the owners.

what Charles Eliot Norton Has to Say
 on Pro.essionalIam.
 The dependence of health and vigor of mind upon health and vigor of body is now the fundamental proposition in every rational scheme of education. The provision made at Harvard for the exercise required for health and for normal nh ysical development is proba- bly as thorough, complete and intelli- gent ;.< Uan be found in any institution of learning. It marks a new stage in the improvement of the university as a place of education, and there is nothing in which the life of the student of to- day differs more widely from that of preceding generations of American -un- dergraduates than in the attention given to the care of the body, in the large share which athletic sports hold among college interests, and in the strong feel ing aroused by athletic competitions. The rivalry of the different universities and colleges in athletic contests re- minds the scholar of the similar rival ries among the cities of Greece, but our college games wait still for their Pindar to sing the spirit of beautiful youth, with it's desire set upon valor and hon- orable deeds, and the delightful fame that accompanies them.
 College games and athletic sports properly regarded are at once promotive of the intellectual interests of the stu dents and subordinate to them. They are the sports of gentlemen who do not aim at professional excellence as oars men or players of any game. The exact limit between professional and amateur excellence in them is not easily defined, but the difference in spirit animating pro- fessional and amateur sport is obvious, The interest and the worth of sport as part of college discipline and amuse- ment are lessened and it's character is degraded in proportion as the partici- pants in 1t strive for excellence other than that which may be attained by a youth who does not allow 1t to become the chief object of his efforts, but who holds it in it's right place as a pleasant and animating recreation and manly accomplishment. Fair play, honor to opponents, cheerful acceptance of de- feat, modest acceptance of victory, are conditions essential to contests between gentlemen, and if they can not be se- cured in intercollegiate contests these contests must cease.-Harper's Nigga zine.
