Grover Cleveland is the ner-
West man on the continent.
Just at this juncture when a
presidential nomination, mea
ming certain election, is with
in his grasp, but when three
fourths of the country seems
to be rising up and demand
ing the free coinage of silver,
instead of falling into thecur
rent or remaining silent upon
the subject he writes a letter
in which he plants himself in
the most equivocal manner
against the doctrine of free
coinage. They say this let
ter is going to cost him the
nomination. He doesn't care.
They said his tariff message
would defeat him in 1883. 1t
did, but he didn't care. He is
no trimmer and he never con
ceals his opinions because
they may happen not to
strike the public right. The
Landmark has been rather
on the free coinage lay OF
late. 1t is like the farmer in
Raleigh who said he was in
favor of a railroad commits
sion-''not that | know any
thing about it," he added.
"but it is something new" "
Free coinage is something
new" and the order has pass
ed down the line that the al
,liance must be in favor of it
and the alliance has fallen in
to line and the Landmark
with it. But we have great
respect for a m an who has
the courage to speak his
mind, especially when the
tide seems to run against
him, and our admiration for
Cleveland was never sstrong
as it is now.-Landmark.

Odds and Ends.

The question of the rela-
tion of ministers with women,
which is sometimes spoken Of
as complicated and delicate,
is in fact entirely simple. A
man is, we may hope, a gen.
tleman before he becomes a
minister, and his conduct to-
ward women should be that
which is expected from any
gentleman.
Considering the close rela-
tionships with families into
which pastoss are brought,
clerical scandles are, after all
is said, extraordinarily rare.
The same thing is true with
regard to doctors, and the
fact'speaks we'll for our cliv-
airy and our civilization. OF
course, clerical sea n d a ls
should never occur. They are
abs olutely and inyariable
without excuse.
The very fact that the door
of the homeis opened frank
ly and so trustingly to the
pastor should make him the
most scrupulous of all made
visitors. A minister has no
more right to kiss a woman
or a girl because he is her
minister, than a lawyer be-
cause he is her lawyer, or a
butcher because he is her
b II t c h e r. "Indiscretions,"
''imprudences" are as offen-
sive in him as in other men;
and there is nothing to debar
him from the privilege that
other men enjoy of being
kicked out of doors il they
are guilty of impertinence
or familiarity.
One thing more. The period
has passed, if it everexisted,,
when ministers could afford
to be deadheads, beggars,
sponges. The pastor must be
independent and selfrespec-
ting. Don't ask for free pas
ses or ministerial discounts.
1t is better to get along with
less than to be a public pen
ner.-ExamiDer.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Mr.. Cleveland's letter a
gainst the free and unlimited
independent coinage OF silver
did not create the excitement
in Congress that the sensa-
tional newspapers have said
it did. In the first place the
views expressed by Mr.. Cleve.
land are precisely those held
by him and publicly express
ed Just before his Inaugural
tion as president in 1885, so
that a reiteration of them
was no surprise to those ac-
quainted with the man. OF
course there are differences of
opinion among democrats in
Congress as to the wisdom of
having taken this time to re-
iterate them, but Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends point to the
fact that he did not do SO
until asked to take part in
the anti-silver meeting in
New York. They say that
if he had not given his opion-
ion in answer to that invita-
tion he would have been open
to the charge OF cowardice,
and everybody knows that
there is nothing approach
ingcowardice'in Grover Cleve-
lands make up.
Many eminent democratic
Senators and Representa-
tives in their disappointment
at seeing the hast hope of the
passage OF the free coinage
bill by the House at this ses-
sion vanish. as it did with
the publication of Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter, said, upon the
spur Of the moment, things
which upon cool second d
thougts they will probably
regret. Mr.. Cleveland may
or maynot be the nominee
of the democratic party next
year, but 1T does not appear
probable to an unprejudiced
mind that his expressing a
personal opinion, which he
was we'll known to hold, eigh-
teen months before the meet
ing of the national conven-
tion of the party would alb
solutely eliminate him from
the Presidential field. "Suc-
cessful politics. said a demo-
cratic Senator to-day are al
ways practical, and if when
the convention meets it's
members shall be OF the opin-
ion that Mr.. Cleveland is the
strongest man he will receive
the nomination, otherwise
not; and the rank and file OF
| y
the party, who want the man
nominated that can win, not
any particular man, willratl-
fy the choice of the conven-
ton, whoever he may be. A
year and u half is a good
while. Let us all keep cooland
meet the issues when they
confront us. Nothing is to be
gained, but much can be lost,
by being precipitate. &

the last OF the great Union

The enemies of civil service
reform, as she is run by the

very near succeeding in a
flank movement in the House,
the object of which was to
cut off the supplies of the
commission by reducing the
appropriation for the hire of

Mr.. Harrison has not yet
demanded the resignation OF
Pension Commissioner Raum
notwithstanding his unfit
ness for the office, which was
fully proven, inspite of the
efforts of the republicans on
the committee to shield him,
by the late investigation.

on a square stone block, surrounded on
it's four sides by beautiful leaf plants,
ivy and grasses. The stone foot stands
within water basin. The upper part
of the case contains dial covered with
glass on each of it's four sides. Upon
the cupola stands staff, which carries
the two bells for the full hour and the
quarters. At it's upper end is small
vane in the shape of battle-ax.
The frame for the wheel and the
levers of the striking work, in which a
small centrifugal pendulum takes the
place of the fly, is close underneath the
dial. At the back of the clock frame
,oscillates the second pendulum, and be-
fore this is located a mass of rustic
work, similar to large coral growth,
from which issue small jets of water at
regular intervals. Two of the upper
most coral branches are water conduit
pipes, from which flows alternately,
at each swing of the pendulum, small
quantity of water into two leaf-like
spoons underneath, imparting to them
an up and down motion.
The peculiar motive power furnished
by the water keeps the clock in motion
by very remarkable escapement, SO
that it never requires winding. The
construction of the clock is due to a
monk, as is the case with so many old
pieces of art work.
