A STUFFED DANIEL.
Editor Dana Finds Opportunity to SGo.,
Grover Cleveland.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The Sun saws,
Cleveland's letter is as disingenuous and as
amusing document as has recently pro-
ceeded from his industrious pen. While
primarily intended for the placation Of his
Mugwump friends, who have been incon-
veniently persistent in their demands'that
| Cleveland should dare to be a Daniel on
| the silver question, the letter squints at
Southern and Western Democrats. The
peril, in Gle veland'S present view, is not in
the liberal extension of silver currency, for
I'VE have demonstrated the usefulness of
such an increase" but it is in tine free un-
limited and independent silver coinage'
that he shifts disaster. Who demonstrated
the usefulness of such increase? True to
the last to his destiny, Grover Cleveland
dareS only to be "a stuffed Daniel' on the
silver question.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 13.-The Times
Democrat, referring to Cleveland's letter,
says: Cleveland is not In accord with the
sentiment Of the Democracy of the country.
We regret exceedingly that he should have
written this letter.
The Picayune says: Mr. Cleveland has
taken position his friends will have cause
to regret.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 13-The Times says:
Ii Cleveland is prepared to suspend his pri-
vate Judgment in case he is elected he may
get the nomination and be elected. II not,
the party had better study other candidates.
ST, LOUIS, Feb. 13.-The Republic says:
The letter is merely the private opinion Of a
single Democrat, and commits neither tha
party nor Mr. Cleveland himself. If the
matter is not settled by the adoption OF free
coinage before 1892 the entire matter should
be left to the Democratic National Conyen-
tion. On its adoption of platform of tariff
reform and free coinage, it will be Cleye-
lands duty to accept both nomination and
platform if the party demands his leader
shin.

The ParneIlites Satisfied With
The Situation.
HtCIthy and Els Colleagues to Organize a
EsR Irish Party.
The British Government Alarmed at Cana.
da'S Friendly Attitude Toward the
United States.
copyrighted, 1891, by the New York Associated
Press

LONDON, Feb. 13.-It is the general opin-
ion that the balance of advantage, resulting
from the Boulogne negotiations, remains
with Parnell. Mccarthy and his colleagues
publicly say they are satisfied with their
position. Privately, they are indignant at
being checkmated by the tactics of the Par
nellites. Their meeting to-day disclosed
their depression and apathy. Only fifteen
members were present, and they appointed
committee to organize a party in Ireland
to combat the Farnellites. The latter say
they are rapidly gaining strength, and the
bulk of the Nationalists will resume allegi-
ance to Parnell.
The Canadian situation attracts much at
tention here, and the Government mani
tests great concern over the outcome of the
campaign. 1t is felt that Canada is about to
decide the momentous question affecting all
of the English colonies. The Government
recognizes the fact that active measures are
necessary to revive the dropping trade be-
tween Canada and England Last year
there were only 9l2 100000 worth of Cana
dian imports, while from the United States
England toUk e79, 900, 900 worth.
As means of weaning Canada from any
longings after reciprocity or absorption the
Government has decided to back to an al
most unlimited extent the projected mail
routes to Japan and Australia, via the Cana
dian Pacific Railway. In connection with
1t it IS proposed 10 run line between some
port in the South Of England and Halifax
under Government subsidy, and to i'm
mediat-ly proceed to!fortify Esquimalt as
q fTst-class naval station.
The new route, it is claimed. would affect
saving in time Of thirty hours between
England and Chicago, as compared with
the New York route. Eleven days after
leaving London a passenger would be in
vancouver. Its competition with the San
Francisco route would be important in view
OF the fact that the new route would be
800 miles shorter to and from Europe. 1t is
also claimed that in the event Of war it
would help British ships control the Pacific
Ocean.

Then he sank back again, feebly raising
his tightly compressed thumb and finger

were received from Gladstone on the ques-
