Clsveland's Position as we Understand it

Cleveland's Position as we Understand it
Oar understanding Of Cleveland's posi-.
tion is that he has no desire to be candi-
date for the Presidency on his own person
al account, as he has nothing to gain by it,
as it would not add anything to the honors
already conferred upon him, whilst it
would be attended necessarily with many
cares and responsibilities and much un-
pleasantness. He has desire for the sue
cess of tariff reform, with which his name
and fame are so intimately connected, and
the triumph of the principles and policy of
the Democratic party, of which he is such
an able advocate and such a conspicuous
member, and he wishes the party to select
that man who would receive the strongest
and most united support of the party SO as
more certainly to secure the success of the
party. He does not seek the nomination.,
and acts upon the true policy that for an
Office of such dignity aud Importance, the
Office should seek the man, and not the man
the Office. If the party. with an opproxima-
ton to unanimity, should tender him the
nomination, believing him to be the strong
est man. he would accept it, but we do not
believe that he would allow his name to be
presented in the convention if he thought
it would create any material dissension IN
the party. He has no personal reason to
desire the nomination, but if he should be
the decided choice of the party, it would be
his patriotic duty to sacrifice his personal
wishes, and to accept the nomination.

Reciprocity.

It is interesting to note how Republicans
are yeering from their recent position on
the tariff question. A short time ago, ga
home market for the American farmer and
manufacturer" was the battle cry by which
they sought to rally all classes and condi.
tions of men to the support of their party.
"America for Americans" they said, and
accordingly they proceeded to build a
Chlnease Wall around the country to cut
off trade with foreign nations. This alb
surdity found its elimination in the Nc
KipIey bill, the most uurighteous and out
rageous measure that ever found a place
upon the statute books of any people.
Mr.. Blaine. however, who was wise en-
ougil to zee the folly of this measure and
brave enough to denounce it, succeeded
finally in getting in provision by which
he hoped % secure to Our people the benefit
of recjp; onal trade with Brazil and other
South 4 lerican States. Accordingly he
has already succeeding in negotiating a
treaty with Brazil under which free trade,
as to the various articles of commerce men
toned in the treaty, is secured between the
United and that republic. Thus the willy
Secretary apprOpriates the Democratic
doctrine of freer and less restricted trade
with foreign countries-calling it, however,
reciprocity, which is but another name fol
the same thing
Aud now the question arises if reciprocity
or free trade with Brazil and other South
American States is a good thing, why
would it not be moro 80 with Canada, with
which our communication is closer aud our
trade larger? Will Mr.. Blaine please rise
and explain?
We expect to hear but little about the
''home market" hereafter.
Trade is the life of nations and should be
as free from artificial restrictions as circum.
stances and conditions will permit. Green
brter G W. Va) Independent.
This scheme of recip. ocity is not treaty
in the sense of the constitution, and it has
not been, as yet, and it may not be, agreed
to by the Brazilian Government.

Reciprocity and Protection.

Hon. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State
during President Grants administration, in
a recent interview expresses unequivocally
his views on reciprocity and the Mckinley
tariff bill. We take the following from
the published Interview
"What do you think of the South Ameri-
can reciprocity treaty ?''
.'Oh, don't want to criticise. I don't
know what the word reciprocity means as
it is used now. 1t may mean vote for
President or vote for Senator, or what
not? I am in favor of reciprocity in the
broadcast, fullest sense of the term, rec
iprocity which means trade and benefit to
the people. have always been in favor of
a certain measure of protection to infant
industries. But the child grows and the
industries do not forever remain infants
There comes time when protection ceases
to be necessity, when industries do not
need to be fed with pap.
"Then do you think that reciprocity in
its broadcast measures and generally ap-
piled would be good thing for the United
States at large to day?"
Decidedly l do. And l believe that
the Mckinley tariff is prohibition, and not
protection. There was no necessity for it.

Iprocty in all directions % be wise policy

In 1869 General Sherman wrote !:

"Of course 1 approve the confsoation
act, and would be willing to revolutionize
the government 80 as TO amend that article
of the Constitution which forbids the for
feiture of land to the heirs. My full belief
is we must COLOMBO the country de novo,
beginning with Kentucky and Tennessee,
and should remove a, 900, 600 of our people
at once south of the Ohio river, taking the
farms and plantations of the rebels. We
must colombo and settle as we go South
Enemies must be killed or transported to
some other country"
In 1861, only one year before, the same
identical General Sherman had told the
people of New Orleans, upon bis honor as a
gentleman, that he would never take up
arms against the South; and the speech in
which he uttered the latter words is as
much a matter of record as the letter in
which he wrote the former. The attempted
apotheosis of General Sherman naturally
revives memories which otherwise would
have continued to slumber.-Alexandria

ABOUT Hon. G. T. OFERRALL AND HIS
CoMMAND.-The Charlestown Free Press of
the 18th says: Hon. g. T. O'Ferrall wassa
guest at the Carter House on Friday night.
He was en- route to his home in Harrison
burg to spend the Sabbath with his family.
We evoked from the Colonel modest plea
of guilty to the charge that his command
was the last organized body ofCnnfederates
in Virginia that had an engagement-and
consequently "fired the last shot," In fact,
he had two engagements near Woodstock,
Va, after Appointment-not knowing that
Lee had surrendered, and the first intima-
ton he had of Lees capitulation was obtain
ed from prisoners taken there. Several
nights after Appomattox Col. O'Ferrall
with forty eight men made a night attack
on a body Of Federal cavalry numbering
three hundred and eighty six, and he rout.
ed them-killed and wounded several, and
captured eighty horses and about forty men.
Night attacks are demoralizing. He dis.
mounted his men, waded a stream three
feet deep and charged as infantry with the
rebel YELL He had stationed his solitary
bugler at convenient point with instruc-
tions to sound the cavalry charge when
signalled to do so; and he says ''the boy
nearly blew his brains out" The ruse was
vary effective.

MAGNIFICENT AND COSTLY PRESENTS.

MAGNIFICENT AND COSTLY PRESENTS.
At the residence of Edward s. Willing in
Philadelphia, on Tuesday, the 18th instant,
his daughter Ava Lawie Willing was mar
ried to Mr.. John Jacob Aster, son of Mr..
William Astor of New York. The ceremo-
ny was performed by Rev. DR.. WIN. Nelson
McVickar, Rector of the Protestant Epis-
copal church of the Holy Trinity of Phila-
delphia.
The families are very wealthy and the
presents to the bride were numerous, costly,
and magnificent. Tine Associated Press
telegram says that the groom's gift was
magnificent tiara of diamonds, posi-
bly, unsurpassed by any in Am erica. The
father of the groom gave double bow not
of diamonds, from which hang pendant a
huge brilliant about the size of nickel.
He also gave diamond necklace and
crescent of diamonds and sapphires some
four inches in length. Mrs. Astor's prin
cipal gifts were five diamond stars, each as
large as a silver haif-dollar. These jewels
were enclosed in massive box Of solid sill
yer. Mrs. Astor also gave eight silver
dishes, each about three feet in length. Mr..
and Mrs. Morrell (nee DrexeD gave silver
centre piece about four feet long. Mr.. and
Mrs. Orme Wilson sent pair of magnifi-
cent silver candelabra over yard high.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman Drayton presented
two silver dishes of exquisite open work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt Roosevelt also sent
large centre-piece of silver, while Mr..
Glen. Barclay forwarded splendid tank
ard. Mr.. Blrton Willing's present consist
ed of an after dinner coffee set. These are
some Of the principal presents, but there
were received about three hundred others.
No estimate can be made of the value of
the tiara, stars, necklace, or others of the
superb diamond ornaments, but they must
run up into the hundreds of thousands.

DEMOCRATIC PRosPEoTs FOR THE SEN
ATE.-The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun, writing February 18th.
says
s'The election of an anti-republican Sem
ator from North Dakota will reduce the
regular republican majority in the Senate
from fourteen to six after the 4th OF March.
Should Gen. Palmer be selected in Illinois
it will still further reduce that majority to
four. If the democrats had the rights to
which they are clearly entitled in New
Hampshire and Connecticut the Senate
wonld be tie AFTER March A. The repub-
licans are pretty certain, however, of gain
ing Senator in few days or weeks at the
outside by the death of Senator Hearst, of
California. There are two years unexpired
of Mr.. Hearst's term. and, with republi-
can Governor and republican Legislature
in California; member of that party would
succeed him. This would make the repub-
lican majority in the Senate little strong
or for the next two years, bit would not
assuredly help them after that, for the
democrats are as likely to carry the next
Legislature of California as the republi-
cans. Taking all the circumstances into
consideration, the democrats have very
bright prospect of capturing the Senate
after March A, 1893"

AT IT AoAIN.-The democrats of Okla
homa have carried the county elections. As
there is no dispute about that fact they nat
urally propose to seat the county officers.
But the republicans of Oklahoma, like those
of Connecticut, are equal to the emergency.
They do not deny that the democratic can
didates were successful in the counties. ALI
the reports concur in this, but they now iu-
sist that Congress- has never given any one
in the Territory the right to vote, and have
consequently applied for an injunction to
prevent the counting of the votes on the
ground that the election was invalid. Other
elections have been held in Oklahoma, and
there have been fights over them, and
ballot-boxes have been stolen, and bitter
quarrels have arisen between rival towns.
1t comes, therefore, with bad grace from
the men who assisted at these elections
and prof ed by them, to plead the invalidity
of the county elections, at which they had
also voted and were defeated.

Well. Why MOI?

Mr.. BlaIne's reciprocity with Braz |
might be a good thing but for two reasons,
First. there isn't any reciprocity in it; Sec
ond, Brazil hasn't accepted it get. The an
nouncement was little ''previous."
STILL it afforded an opportunity to push
the subsidy scheme, which was perha ps
what Mr. Harrison is after. What is sub
sidy? Well, when company owns line
of steamships and can't make it pay, some
Congressman offers an appropriation bill to
make up the deficit from the federal Treas
ury.
OF course, it is not referred to in that
bold, harsh way, but that is precisely what
it means.
Why shouldn't the government extend
its paternal care aud in the same way help
the manufacturer, the green grocer, the
carriage maker and the horse dealer who
are doing business at loss?
None at all. In the matter Of "sauce"
