Among the numerous interesting items
which come out in speaking of the death
of the great soldier Won Moltke, it is OBJ
served that he did not characterize the
battles of the civil war in this country as
encounters between mobs- He recog-
nized that the American campaigning
showed all the great features OF scientific
war, and he caused the operations of the
Federal and Confederate armies to be
studied with German thoroughness as
part of his officers training.

There is going to be great fight over
the proposition of keeping the worlds
fair open on Sundays. There are two
sides to the question. but it seams to us
the strongest argument that the affirma-
tive side has is the fact that no exposi-
ton could be as demoralizIng as tramp
ing around through Chicago's unnum-
bered pitfalls on Sunday. Religiously
inclined people viii be safe either way,
because such will attend church whether
the fair is open or not.

CLEVELAND AS ACR AWFISH.
From the Leavsnworth Times.

From the Leavsnworth Times.
A year or so ago Grover Cleveland
expressed himself very freely to World
reporter about Charles A. Dana, of the
Sun. The reporter published such parts
of the interview as were fit for publica-
ton A few days later Cleveland re-
pudated it. The managing editor of
the World tried to make the reporter
confess that he had lied but the pluckv
reporter refused and resigned his posi-
ton, when the editor made an apology.
Some months ago Mr.. Cleveland sent
a letter to Col. Acres, of this state, con-
corning the reelection of Senator In
gals. Col. Acres asked permission by
wire 10 publish the letter The reply
was by wire and, though permission to
print was not given specifically. it was
implied, and Col. Acres gave the letter
to the press. In few days it became
apparent that the letter was helping
ingalls, and hurting Cleveland. Mr..
Cleveland could not deny the authen-
ITCHY of the letter, so he denounced
Acres for publishing "what was never
intended to be made public" and he
folded his hands across his fat bosom,
rolled up his eyes and told how improper
it would be for him, a man who was
talked of as a candidate for president, to
interfere in local politics, forgetting the
many times he had interfered while
president.
A few days ago Dir. Cleveland express
ed certain views on the silver question to
the treasurer of the state of Missouri.
What he said was intended for the west
and south, but it was published in the
east. and made trouble for Mr. Cleve-
land. And again Mr. Cleveland craw-
fishes, backs away from his position and
leaves his friend in the lnrch.
Mr.. Cleveland evidently doesn't care
how much he Injuries his friendf. He is
not going to stay and get hurt if he can

the officials of the treasury department
