The venerable headline. Important, If True.

newspaper readers as ii was TO the last, having
generally fallen into innOcuous dcSuctude 1t
might however have been revived with pro-
priety and advantage by "The Washington
Post" and put over the article which announced
with crcumstanhal solcmnity that Mr. Cleye-
land had resolved not to he candidate for the
Presidency in 1892, and would soon sign a
public declaration to that effect. The disclosure
of our Capitoline contemporary was so univcr-
sally dScIcditcd as not even to excite surprise,
but was just important enough to make an
authentic contradiction interesting. That was
tho feeling Of the country, and evidently Mr..
Cleveland shared it, for he did not hesitate to
respond with brief but conclusive denial lie
has never thought Of Withdrawing from the ser
vice of his party. He knows Of no consultation
among his friends over his prospective can
didacy or retirement. He has expressed to no
one any settled determination tonching his rca-
tons to the next campaign ; and he adds: 6

lead any one to believe that | am anxious to

We have no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland is
justified in drawing from his public and private
utterances the inference that he is solcitous 10

next year And yet we do nor suppose that
there is one person in the country, outside the
Office of "The Washington Post" who distruSts
the evidence of which Mr.. Cleveland remains
unconscious. The ambition of whose existence
he is himself unaware, but which is universally
recognized by his icllow-citizens is far from
being dScredit TO him. 1t is altogether natu-
raj and proper that he should wish to repair
the injury which his candidacy inflicted on his
party in 1883, and it is for him to decide
whether that can hest be done by continuing in
or emerging from retirement II personal
sense of disappointment in the rewards of phi
vate life influences his judgment, that is a COM
mon experience with men who have occupied
conspicuous public stations.
Nor is Mr.. Cleveands unconscious longing
danger which the country needs to fear; for
in all probability his denomination would insure
the continuance of Republican administration
while his election would be the whole less
injurious to the public welfare than that Of the

Mere
The TRIBUNE of yesterday contained re-
NOR, of the Landscape Architect and Supern-
.endent which twas prepared in accordance
with the direction of the Board but 1t is to
be hoped that this language does not imply that
tho commissioners have decided in advance to
make road and then Instructed thcif Officers
to do the best they could under adverse condl-
tions. 1t is well, however, to invite attention
IN the language of this document. Inc most
that is said in favor OF the road Is uhat IL GER
tain treatment is "open TO the least ooJecloh
and "will do the least harm" 1t is stated that
the road will make necessary the sacrifice OF
ga large and valuable grove OF Norway and
Sycamore naples, Lombardy poplars' oaks
clms birches, horse-chestnuts, Southern cypress
and black walnut trees" Besides this it Is
affirmed that the road will encroach upon the
Lake so as "to narrow it to the extent of one
ouarter of its whole width at a central point on
the shore where the landscape value OF the eX-
isting width is manifcstly great"
Certainly the Park Commissioners viii hesl-
tate before they undertake dissolution OF this
sort. We are aware that certain interests have
been clamoring for driveway here Tor years
But the Park belongs to the people; and the
Park Board represents the people as against
encroachments of this kind. If new gateways
are to be made and new roads are to be laid
at the demand of every knot of property-owners
who think that such construction Will in some
way add to their pleasure or advantage 1t Is
safe to predict that only few years Will elapse
before the Park will be nothing more than
tange of gravellcd ways with narrow strips and
crcScents Of turf between them.
