CLEVELAND FOR 1892.

The New York World, was opposed
to the election of Cleveland in 1884
and again in 1888. 1t was their silence
in the campaign of 1888 that contrib
uted as much as anything to the de.
feat of Mr.. Cleveland. At the same
election Governor Hill, whom Ihe
World supported was elected COVER
nor by over 10000 while Cleveland
was defeated by over 10000. Sunday
last in lengthy editorial, Ihe World,
for some reason, has changed its moor
ings and came out boldly for the Ex-
President, in the following manner:
Mr.. CLEVELAND should, upon his
nomination-which now seems to be
most probable announce his deter
mination not to stand for another term,
and then proceed, in the freedom
which this would secure to him, to
make an administration so good for
the country that any fit and represen-
tative Democrat could be elected to
succeed him.
So far from believing that if nomi-
mated and elected as he would almost
certainly be-Mr. CLEVELAND would
'prove failure" THE World believes
that he would prove success He is
a broader, wiser and more expert
enced man than he was in 1884 or
even in 1888. He possesses in a re-
markable degree the public confidence,
even among thoughtful and conserva-
tive men not of his own party.
Whether any candidate from the
"broad shouldered" West would be as
strong in the three Northern States
which it is essential that the Democrats
shall carry, and which with the South
would give them just the gag electoral
tesnecessary to succeed-New York,
New Jersey, and Indiana-is a ques'
tion for the National Convention next
year to consider.
The proceedings Of the new Con-
gress may change the conditions, but
at the present time all the Indications
point strongly to the nominal on and
election Of Mr.. CLEVELAND.

Rev. Mr.. Yatman the Evangelist,
will address the young people of our
town on Monday evening Nov. 2, at
the Presbyterian church. An ex-
change thus speaks Of him.
Mr.. Yatman continued his series of
illustrated sermons at the Methodist
Episcopal Tabernacle last evening
Professor Wood offered prayer and
Mrs. Kress sang the hymn Eternity"
in fine voice. Mr.. Yatman applied
the term chemical sermon to his
illustrated discourse, and such it really
was.
He placed a jar of pure water on
the desk. This he said represented
mankind before sin came into the
world. He then poured a chemical
fluid into the jar and the water chang
to an inky blackness. The speaker
next picked up handful of roses, say
ing that they represented morality,
but throw them into the jar as he
might they would not restore the pur-
ity of color, though they might lend a
sweet scented odor to the water.
Morality, he said, would not take away
the stain of sin.
Mr.. Yatman then poured a few
drops of red liquid into the jar when
its contents sparkled with the beauty of
brightness. This fluid, he said, repre-
sented the "blood of Christ which
cleanseth from all SIM The entire
sermon was of an impressive nature
and commanded the careful attention
of the assemblage up to the very min
mute of dismissal. Many persons
were compelled to remain standing.

GROWTH OF YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION.
The first Association in America
was organized at Montreal, in 1881:
the first in the United States at Bos,
ton, few months later. The year
following, Associations were establish
ed at Ne. York, Washington, Buffalo,
and Baltimore.
There are now in the United States
and Canada I,34r Associations with
an aggregate membership of about
2I3,coo. These Associations own a
total net property of $Io,433,647.
2o5 OF them own the building they
occupy. 5II have libraries aggregat-
ing 4as,9Ia volumes. 1871 have read
ing rooms. 1881 have Bible classes,
and over 1900 prayer and gospel
meetings for young men only are held
regularly.
Read what Hon. Abram S. Hewitt,
recently Mayor Of New York City
says of the Association:
81 have long known, and observed
with great satisfaction the operations
of the Young Mems Christian Associa
ton IN this city New York 1t is a
most benehcent agency, and has not
only provided place of resort for
young men, but given them instruc-
tion, found employment for them, and
kept them out of mischief. Many of
the most successful business men of
New York have been members of this
Association, and l know ofno agency
in our midst which has done more
good. 1t would be great cause of
qualification if similar institution were
organized in every city and town in
the United States.

Friendship Fire Company will give
grand ball in City Hall, Wednesday
evening of next week, November 9Th.

For many years they have bravely
fought the fires, and with no compen-
sation, now that an opportunity is given
citizens generally should patronize
them. Beside it will prove a great
evening of enjoyment.

Tie ladies' of the Lutheran church
served an excellent supper in the base

supper on Saturday evening also, for
fifteen cents, and again the tables
were crowded, and everything was
eaten up. The Bloomsburg ladies can
beat the world in getting up a square
meal.

THE SOUTHERN INTER R-sTATEs
EXPOSITION.

we mad expected to take a trip to
Raleigh, North Carolina, this month
to visit the Exposition, but owing to
certain circumstances, that trip has
been abandoned.
Some months ago a circular came to
this Office, signed BY !. Il. Patrick
Secretary of the Southern Exposition,
inviting us to take a journey to Dixie
land, and voluntarily Offering a round
trip ticket from New York, Baltimore
or Richmond, to Raleigh, in exchange
Tor the insertion of reading notices
concerning the said Exposition. This
proposition was accepted, and we
promptly inserted the notices as re-
quested, and sent marked copies to
MIR. Patrick. Shortly afterward an.
other circular came to hand from the
same source, in which Mr.. Patrick
says Il am quite sure that if you will
correspond with +. w. Clark, General
Passenger Agent &c, of Norfolk, Va.
or the Passenger Agent of the Rich
mond Terminal Company, you can ar
range with one of them to give you in
exchange for advertising round trip
ticket from New York or Baltimore to
Raleigh"
This was something different from
Mr.. Patrick's first proposition, which
was an unqualified offer OF a round trip
ticket and on the strength of which his
concern obtained some advertising from
us. However, we wrote to Mr.. Clark
as suggested by Mr.. Patrick, and in
reply received a letter from Patrick
saying that the letter had been for
warded to him by Mr.. Clark, but in
stead of enclosing the ticket, he mere
ly informed us that the excursion
rates from Baltimore We're $40. 40"
We replied to this, saying that we had
made no inquiries about excursion
rates, and again asking for the ticket
he had promised in accordance with
our contract. To this we received no
reply. and again we wrote, asking Mr..
Patrick to state whether we would get
the ticket al all, as we were tired max
ing arrangements every week to leave
home in expectation daily of the ar
rival of the ticket TO this no reply
has ever come.
From all this we are forced to the
conclusion that Mr.. John T. Patrick is
dead beat No doubt he obtain
ed large amount of free advertising
from northern papers in the same dis
honest way. The Exposition in itself
was good thing, and with proper
management ought to have been a
success, but We are informed by persons
who were there, that the management
of Patrick was great drawback to it,
When we want to travel, we can buy
our tickets, but when a man obtains
our goods by false pretenses, we can
at least have the satisfaction of in
forming the public regarding his way
of doing business.

afternoon. The mercury dropped to
twenty degrees. From a. m. to s
p. m. there was change of about IS
degrees. The wave was not local, but

There driftad into Chicago the other
day a man Of unusual ability, although
no stranger would have suspected IT.
His garments were ragged and soiledi
his hair was full Of hay and aericult-
ural products, for he had lately been
sleeping in barns, and his stomach Wa
a dreary void, but he was cheerful and
not at all discouraged. He discourse
freely in five languages, is an artlt,
musician and writer of power. He has
held many good situations, but never
for long. So soon as he has drawn q
weeks wages he is inclined TO exclaim
with Monte Cristo, The world is mine,
and work becomes onerous TO him He
goes to halls of dazzling light; at the
high priced restaurants be orders prince
ly viands, and slumbers at night in the
finest couch in town.
This goes on until the money is ex-
hausted. and then he goes TO the rail-
road and bounds merrily along from
tie 70 tie in the direction of some other
city. He is waxing older every day.
there are gray hairs on his head, and
his Joints crack when he rises in the
morning. Soon. full soon, his blood
will be thin and his back bent. and
some fine day his remains will be gath
cred up from some fence corner and
deposited in a misfit grave, and the
records will tell in one line the story Of
a good life thrown away. He is only
one in a long procession Of able youths
who are jogging merrily along the sams
thoroughfare. Chicago Globe
