than the loss OF the Democratic nomina-
ton in 1892 will be the loss of public re-
spect he has suffered at the hands Of the
high-toned. intelligent. upright independ-
ents st the East, who have hitherto sup
ported him under the honest delusion that
he was patriotic, upright statesman, who
scorned the genuiections of a political
demagogue. The capacity Of Cleveland
for further imposture is extinct; the
Republican party has always rated him at
his true worth. and correctly defined him
as an ambitious, shallow-profound, plat
itudinous politician. who did not hesitate
to intrigue for denomination while he was
in the White House, and has never ceased
to intrigue for third presidential nomi-
nation since ne left the national executive
chair. The Cleveland mask is off; it has
been dropped by his own stupid, clumsy
hand. To the Republican party he IS
nothing but a vulgar charlatan exposed,
but 10 the honest, sincere Independents, he
is subject for sincere lament as Lost
Leader" Of course Cleveland's thick
and thin partisans excuse his wor-
ship of the Tammany tiger on the
plea that he could not afford to be indiffer-
ent to the success of the Tammany ticket,
because his inactivity would be contrasted
by his enemies with the energy and zeal OF
Governor Hill. There is no force in this
plea, because Cleveland as ex-President Of
the United States could as easily decline to
take an active part in campaign politics as
does ex-President Hayes.
As a matter of profound policy an ex-
president cannot afford to take an active
part in political campaigns if he has any
hope or expectation of ever again becom-
ing the candidate of his party. He owes
it to his dignity to keep ''of the stump;
and the people at large approve this
sort of reserve and retirement OF
an ex-presldent from the platform. 1t
is true that ex-President John Quincy
Adams served in the lower house Of con-
gress after he left the White House, but
he was "a years of age and was not a candi-
date for the presidency, and only sought
service in congress to be useful in the
early days of the first Northern insurrec-
LiOtA dSdAIiSk slavery. 1uc OHly pISCCUChI
for M. Cleyeland's action is that of ex-
President Van Buren,. who, after his de-
feat in 1910, intrigued for the Democratic
nomination in 1874 and lost it; he was
beaten for nomination again in 1S4S
and revenged himself by running as
third party, Free Soil candidate IN
1913, thus ensuring the electoral
vote of New York to Taylor and defeating
Lewis Cass for president. Mr. Van Buren,
was an able, shrewd and accomplished
man, and the warning of his signal failure
as an active intriguer for the denomination
of his party after his defeat for re-
election in 1910 ought not to be lost on ex-
President Cleveland. Mr.. Van Buren, not
only failed of success, but he impaired his
dignity and influence with the people, and
he passed the last fourteen years of his
life in comparative obscurity and neglect.

The cost of running New York is said TO

The cost of running New York is said to
be S45,0o0,0oo. For the coming year the
expense will be 100000 more. There
are 5000 employees. Fourteen persons
each receive $4,000 year; twenty-five
receive each $4,000 to $4,000; twenty
three $500 to $4,000 each; seventy-two
from $1,000 to $500. and so from $, 600 to

tie would be lbs, 900 year, so that this
city is not the most extravagant in the
world; its cost Is less than half.

An Island Paradise,

The island of Hogolen, in the Poly
nesia, is an immense coral atoll, 100
miles in circumference. having four
entrance passages. On the reef and
within it are seventy islands, four of
which, near the middle, are high
basaltic masses about thirty miles
each in circumference, magnifcently
fertile, yielding spontaneously many
valuable products, situated in the
midst of a rock-bound lake ninety
miles long by half that width. This
unknown ocean paradise has been for
ages an arena of combat between two
hostile races, one copper in
habiting the two western of the great
interior isles, the other upon the two
eastern, darker people, with long,
straight hair. The two tribes are
supposed to number over 10000.

He is bothered by no incumbrances.
He carries his equippage with him, and
he leaves squaw and pappooses, with an
old horse, perhaps, to look after his
camp and follow him the best they can
IN his cratic campaigns. And, let it be
said, the Indian women are no mean
factors in the savage method of fighting.
They are thoroughly self reliant, and
can pack up and set out on the march
after their fleeing braves at moments
notice. They keep thoroughly informed
of events, and are able in many ways to
assist retreat or battle pursuit.
Did anybody ever try to figure out the
cost of an Indian outbreak? Perhaps
the attempt has been made, but the War
Department. knows nothing about it.
The greater proportion of damages can
not be assessed, for more injury is done
to the material welfare of the region in
which the trouble exists than can be as
certained or expressed in dollars. Some
Of the figures-indeinite at best-can,
however, be given, and they are decid.
eddy interesting. Since 1856 it has cost
the United States just $3.50, 321 ,002 16 to
feed and clothe the American Indian,
and during the same period this great

NOUS sum of $3.50, 200, 1856 81 to keep him

that the long awaited one would be

charging their ungraceful antics to any

bers of various and numerous evangeli-

unconverted sometimes seems to be
frenzied enthusiasm, but which civ;liza'

The Indian is naturally religious With
all his savagery he is serious and earn
est in all he does. and prone to relate
human events to the operations of a

LOVE-MAklNG BY RAIL.
One Dear Little Darling Was Afraid the Lamp
Wouldn't Go Out q

Wouldn't Go Out.
The car was filled with excursionists
returning from the exposition. Every
seat contained pair of Buckeye
lovers. The last bear died in Ohio
some time ago, but the art of hugging
has survived. It was the midnight ex-
press, and the air was right chilly, but
not soul noticed that except a poor
little married man who sat alone in
the half seat by the unlighted stove.
He looked down the car and noticed
that apparently all the young men
were one armed; at least, but one arm
of each male was visible. The light
in the car was very low, however, and
that may account for the phenomenon.
Lovers like twilight, according to
the Pittsburg Dispatch. If Adam and
Eve did not sing "In the Gloaming''
it was because they knew a fresher
song. And it was twilight in that car,
for all three double lamps were turned
down very low, and. before the train
was out of the Allegheny yards. the
flame of one of them had sputtered,
fired a moment and expired. OF
course, every girl in the car was
alarmed when the gloom deepened.
Every girl got a little closer to her
protector, and few minutes later,
when the second began to show signs
of collapse-the flame leaping up
frantically, as if afraid to die---about
dozen pianissimo screams came from
as many feminine throats
The conductor opened the door a few
minutes later and the draught finished
lamp No. 2. This left one lamp alight
at the rear end of the car. How
anxiously it was observed! Would it
go out? 1t looked consumptive, but
there was no draught to expedite it's
decease. At last the train whistled
tor the first stop, and the little married
man came Out OF his corner by the
stove to alight. He had been bache-
Tor once, and he remem bered it as he
laid his hand on the door knob. The
train had not stopped, but he opened
the door, and mmediately gust of
wind murdered the last lamp. As he
stood in the doorway inhaling cinders
and river fog, he had the satisfaction
OF hearing sweet, low voice murmur
behind him: "Oh, George, 1 was so
afraid?''
''Of what my darling?"

BOYS 1T ! hree Gents Each.

Henry NJ. Stanley has IS dark skinned
lads, whom he bought on the banks of
the Congo at the moderate price of three
cents a head. When he founded the
station at Stanley Falls. he found In the
hands of the Arabs $500 captives whom
they had dragged into slavery. The
poor wretches were suffering for food,
and some of them were in a starving
condition. He says:
Among them were many little boys.
I selected IS of the poor little fellows,
and bought them of the Arabs for
handkerchief apiece. The handkerchiefs
cost three cents each in Manchester, and
so I obtained the little negroes very
cheaply. took them because wished
to save them, and as they were almost
certain to die of starvation, the Arabs
were willing to sell them at almost any
price.
The little fellows, who were from 10
to 10 years of age, were with me in my
steamer when I went down the river
again. I distributed them, two or three
together, among the stations, directing
the agents to instruct them, show them
how to work, and to endeavor as they
grew up to make civilized young fellows
of Them They all came from the
Biyerre River, and as did not know
their language could not communicate
with them. Soon after left for
Europe.
Winton returned from the Congo, he
brought one of these boys with him.
The lad is bright fellow, about 16
years old, and has been with me since
he came to England. AS he had learned
the Swahili language I. could readily
converse with him, and he also speaks
good deal of English now,
By and by this boy will return to the
Congo, and will probably be sent back
among his own people; and SO with the
other seventeen little fellows, they will
be trained up as the friends and mis-
sionaries of the new order Of things on
