The President Runs Away From a Crowd.
GYPsUM. COL, May IA slight change
was made in the presidents plans at Glen
wood Springs. occasioned by the attentions
showered upon him by the residents and Wis
itors at that place Sunday, which precluded
Ill possibility of his spending the day IN
quiet and rest, as he had intended. There
fore, instead of remaining there until 2
o'clock a. M, as originally planned, he left
there at 6 O'Clock and spent . great portion
of the night on his special on siding at Gyp-
sum, about twenty-four miles east of Glen
wood. All the members of the party are
thoroughly tired out by what they have al
ready passed through, and but for the step
taken they would be In NO condition to con-
Hnue the trip. The president said he 10
gretted thkt he was compelled to travel this
short distance on Sunday, but felt it to be
absolutely necessary and essential to the
health of his family.

Democratic Doctrine.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 14.-Ex-President
Cleveland was given reception by the DEM
ocratic club. In his speech upon the occs-
sion he said:
81 believe the most threatening figure
which to- day stands In the way of the safety
of our government and the happiness of our
people, is the reckless and wicked extrava-
gance of our public expenditures. 1t is the
most deadly brood born of government per-
version. 1t hides beneath its wings the be-
travail of the peoples trust, and holds pow
erless in its fascinating glance the peoples
will and conscience. 1t brazenly exhibits to-
day billion dollar congress. But lately
large surplus remained in the peoples public
treasury after meeting all expenditures. then
by no means economical. This condition
was presented to the American people as
positive proof that their burden of taxation
was unjust. because unnecessary; and yet
while the popular protest is still heard, the
the harry of public extravaganza devours
the surplus and impudently calls upon its
staggering victims to bring still larger sup
plies within the reach of its insatiate appe-
tite. A few short years ago a pension roll
amounting to fifty three millions of dollars
was willingly maintained by our patriotic
citizens. To-day public extravaganza de-
crees that three times the sum shall be drawn
from the people, upon the pretext that its
expenditure represent the popular love of the
soldier. Not many years ago river and
harbor bill appropriating eleven millions of
dollars gave rise to loud popular protest.
Now public extravaganza commands an ap-
preparation of twenty-five millions for the
same purpose and the people are silent. To-
day millions are paid for tarefaced subsidy;
and this is approved or condoned at the be-
hest of public extravaganza. and thus a new
marauder is turned loose. which, in company
with its vicious partner, bears pilfered bene-
fit to the households of favored, selfish in
terests.
s'We will not prolong the details. Turn
where we will we see the advance of this de-
vouring and destructive creature.
sour democratic faith teaches US that the
useless exaction of money from the people
upon the false pretext of public necessity is
the worst of all governmental perversions
and involves the greatest of all dangers to
our guarantees of justice and equality.
Let us, then, as we push on in our cam
paign of education, especially impress
upon our countrymen the lesson which
teaches that public extravaganza is deadly,
dangerous thing, that frugality and economy
are honorable, that the virtue and watchful-
ness of the people are the surest safeguards
against abuses in their government, and that
those who profess to serve their fellow citi-
zsns in public place must be faithful to their
trust"

said: ut has been a source of constant
thought and Jealous effort on the mart of the
administration at Washington to secure
larger foreign markets for our farm pro-
ducts. rejoice that in the last two years
some of these distractions which hindered
the free access of our meat products to for.

to know that we have now freer and larger
access for our meats to the markets of Eu.

jolce to know that this has brought better
prices to the stock raisers of these great west

looking to reciprocal law, demanded of the
last congress, that we shall yet open larger
and new markets for Nebraska farms. I
hope the day is not far distant when the sight
OF great American ships flying the stars and
stripes at the fore peak will be familiar, not
only in our ports, but in every busy mart of
commerce the world over. Cheers.
This government of ours cannot do every
thing for everybody. The theory of our
government Is largely individual. 1t is de-
slrable that We shall afford to all the free,
honest pursuit of honest industries, that each
individual shall have in his own place the
best chance possible to develop the highest
prosperity for himself and his family. Some
functions are lodged with our government.
1t must provide currency for the use of our
people, for believe that the time has gone
by when We will be content to return to the
old system of an issue of money by state
banks: but will not discuss such questions.

ground upon which we can all stand; That
whatever money the government issues,
paper or coin, 1t must be good money.

Concentrating on the Chilian Coast.
SAX FRANCISCO, CAL, May 16.-It is TO
ported that orders have been received at
Mare island to have the modern steam cruiser
Mohcan ready for sea az fast as possible.
Her officers make no secret of the fact that
she 10 under orders to proceed to southern
waters - fast as steam and sails can carry
her. The Aohican is said to be going to
Central America to relieve the Ranger. Still
no one on board of her believes this to be
the case, as orders have been issued for sup
pliee OF provisions far in excess of her real
needs. and every pound of coal that can be
taken on board will be slowed away in her
bunkers.
It Is generally believed at Mare island that
the United States government has decided
TO concentrate as large fleet Is possible in
tho Gillian waters, whore it will remain un-
til tho war ID over. This belief is strength
ened By the fact that the Mohican will carry
large quantity of shells which can only Be
used BY the Charleston or the San Francisco.
It will take the Mohican ct least fifty days 70

CLEVELAND

The President and Vice President OF Fifty
Years Ago Still Holding the Same
Positions-The Ex-Presidents
Patriotic Uttefances.

BUFFALO, N. Y. May 13.-The German
Young Mems association of Buffalo cele-
brated its fiftieth anniversary in Music hall.
remarkable circumstance WIS the presence
of G. A. George and DR.. John Haunenstein,
who were respectively president and vice
president of the association half century
ago aud hold the same offices to-day. The
principal event of the festival was the pres
ence and speech of ex- President Cleveland.
1t was his first public appearance here in al
most eight years. He received an ovation
when he appeared on the platform, and the
enthusiasm of the great audience was plainly
pleasing to Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Cleveland
spoke as follows:
I cannot resist the temptation to introduce
here the thought that no such association
can exist and escape q responsibility to our
people and to our government. Wherever
our countrymen are gathered together with
the professed purpose of mutual improve
nent or in furtherance of any useful object,
they ought to do something for their coun-
try. It's welfare and progress depend SO
clearly upon what the people are taught and
what they think that patriotism should per-
wade their every endeavor in the direction of
mental or social improvement Our gov
eminent was made by the people; and by
the people it must be constantly watched
and maintained. Like every other mechan-
ism. it requires guidance and care. Without
this, like many another mechanism, it will
not only fail to do its work, but it may in
jure and wound those who stand idly near.
We cannot afford in the needless race for
wealth, nor in the absorbing struggle for the
promotion of selfish ends. to neglect for a
day our duty to our government.
So, as the members of the German Young
Mems association contemplate the steadfast
love of a country which belongs to the Ger
man character, let them enforce the lesson
that this sentiment is absolutely essential to
the strength and vigor of American institu-
tions. If they find that German industry
and frugality lead them to national happi-
ness and comfort, let them insist that these
characteristics be rooted in our soil; and. if
they find that the justice and equality which
our free institutions promise, and which the
Germans love, are withheld from them and
the people, let them demand from the gov
eminent which they support a scrupulous re-
demption of it's pledges.
After the annevirsary exercises compli-
mentary dinner was given in honor of ex-
President Cleveland at the Hotel Iroquois by
his personal and political friends of Buffalo.

A Whit. Can Sensation.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, May 4.-As the re-

but says he will return to Ducktown.
The women who did the whipping are I'M

National Union Conference.

CINCINNATI, O., May 16.-The national
union conference in this city next week to
discuss the advisability of organizing new
political party, promises to draw q large
crowd to this city.
The officers of the national alliance organ
izations tried as hard as they could to dis
courage the conference, but the affair has
now got beyond their control and many of
them have decided to be present and do what
they can in quiet way to prevent tine form
alton of a third party at this time.
1t is now claimed by the promoters of the
movement, who are nearly all members of
the old greenback party, that there will be
5000 delegates present, but LOO will be
nearer the actual number. Besides the con-
ference proper there are to be two or three
side conventions.
The day before the beginning of the con-
ference the national industrial citizens
alliance will meet. and at tine same time the
National Reform Press association. All the
men who have become prominent In
alliance politics in the west and northwest
will be here, and all of them expect to make
speeches.
Considerable interest attaches TO the con-
ference among the politicians IN. this state
because there is strong probability that the
Ohio delegates will meet after the adjourn
ment of the conference and nominate full
state ticket, which will greatly complicate
the political situation.
The alliance is strong in this state just
now. and 1t is the opinion of we'll posted
men that the third ticket would poll not less
than &, 600 votes this year, large majority
of which would at the present outlook come
from the republicans. II the workingmen
in the cities should so with the third party,
as they declare they will do, it will not be
such soft snap for the democrats, and the
fight between Mckinley and Campbell would
be much more interesting.
Tho Kentucky delegates to the conference
will also hold q state convention across the
river from Cincinnati at the time of the ma
ional conference.
If John Young Brown. the Louisville law
yer, is nominated for governor by the demo-
Gratis there will be big revolt among the
farmers IN that state, as the alliance has 10O,-
600 members, and they assert that they will
not support a lawyer. Brown is largely in
the lead for the nomination, but this fact
may lead TO his defeat before the convention.
which meets at Louisville this week.
From correspondents received here it is
shown that there will be strong feeling
against making q new party at this confer
ence. and an effort will be made to postpone
decisive action until next February, when q
conference of all the great labor and farmer
bodies will be held In this city.

The Esmeralda Flying North.

CITY OF MEXICO, May ia dispatch re-
ceived from Acapulco says: The Gillian
cruiser Esmeralda entered this port and sew
eral of her officers were ashore and used the
wires and made various inquiries regarding
the action of the United states, showing that
they had been informed that the United
States cruiser Charleston had been in pur-
suit of the Itata.
1t is believed that she has steamed north to
meet the Itata, and protect her, should the
Charleston attempt to capture her. If q
naval engagement takes place it cannot be
long delayed.
SAN BLAs.-Along low. rakish craft islying
on and of this port with steam up and flying

A surplus in Pension Appropriations.

A surplus in Pension Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 16.-Commis-
sioner Raum, of the pension bureau, has
written letter to Secretary Noble calling
attention to the very material decrease in
payments on account of pensions during the
present fiscal year. The entire payments for
army pensions during the present fiscal year
will not exceed SIG, OOO, 600. The total ap-
preparation for this service is SIPS, 009 093. 80.
It now seems probable that there will be left
of this appropriation at the end::of the fiscal
year So, 769. 600. The allowance of the great
number of claims under the act of June q,
1890, has so reduced the amount of the first
payments on pension certificates as to bring
about this favorable result.
