CIeveIand's Letter in the West.
New York Commercial Advertised

New York Commercial AdYertlserI
The Cleveland letter on silver seems al
ready 10 have turned the tide in one OF the
Western States The Wisconsin Legislature
consists Of IS Democrats, ~ Republicans and
one Union Labor man. Before the eX-Presl-
dent had reiterated his views upon the indie
pendent coinage Of silver, poll Of the Demo;
Gratis showed that every one of them favored
Cleveland for President in 1892. None was
doubtful and none for Hill. After the Re
form Club meeting some politicians in the
West fastened to withdraw from their
support of Cleveland. But the chair
man Of the Wisconsin Democratic State
Committee said TO Herald correspondent
last week, "the Democrats of WiscOn~
sin will endorse his position. A man
does not hurt himself by doing what Is right"
And yesterday, according to telegram in q
morning contemporary, the Legislature of
Wisconsin adopted a resolution condemning
free coinage. In the House the Democratic
vote was unanimous in favor Of the position
Of Mr. Cleveland. and in the Senate there was
but one Democratic dissenter, who was joined
by two Republicans and the labor man. No
more significant expression OF opinion has
been sent 10 Washington than this and no
more hearty tribute to the value OF courage
in politics.

Washington's Mother.
ATLANTA Journal


1t ia national shame that the remains of
George Washington's mother lie in neglected
grave.
Some wears ago the ladies of Fredericksburg
organized Il Mary Washington Monument As
soclation, which has since been merged into a
national society, of which the widow Of the
late Chief Justice Waite Is president. The
good women who compose this association
are trying 10 raise money enough TO lpay for
an appropriate monument over the grave of
the woman whose name is dear 10 every patri-
otto citizen of this country. Mr.. George w.
Childs, of Philadelphia. whose big heart
always carries his purse TO the aid OF noble
enterprises. has subscribed $500 to this fund.
IL is desired TO make the movement as popu-
lar as possible, and contributions of small
amounts are solicited.
The mania for monuments leads to the Sc
lection of some very ordinary subjects for me-
mortal marble and bronze, but surely the
mother of Washington must be considered
worthy of monumental honors. She was
woman of strong and noble character, and in
giving to the country the man who became
its savior she won title to the everlasting
gratitude of this people. And yet they have
let her remains lie for century in neglected
grave.
The erection Of an appropriate monument
over them will be the performance of q long.
delayed duty.

Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND himself denies
the report that he had declared he would not
bea Presidential candidate. Hesays that he has
such confidence in the unselfsh Democracy of
his friends that he is satisfied that whatever
they determine on will be for the good Of
their party. He also says that he has not ex-
pressedto them any settled determination
touching his relations TO the next camnaicn
This looks very muck as if Mr.. Cleveland
ielt himself to be in the hands of his party,
and that II he is called upon again to serve his
party as its standard bearer he Will not finch
from the responsibility.

Let the Army Control the Indian
New York Herald

The Interior Department seems 10 be plning
for its recovery Of its control of the Indians.
One Of its special agents has made the start
ling discovery at Pine Ridge Agency that some
of the soldiers will drink whisky-when they
can get it that they are not averse to the Sc. Sc
ductive game of poker, and that when an m
penitent mule laws its ears back and refuses
to bulge the soldiers will occasionally exhort
the animal in language not strictly appropriate
to a Sunday school or prayer meeting,
II this report be thrown out "a teeler Tor
the chance of restoring the rule of the plous
Indian agent appointed from ciyllian-not
civil-life it is not well devised. The, pres
ence Of drunkard, gambler or a blasphemer
among the Indians is very OBJECTIONABLE Dut
II is doubtful whether he would make them
half as wicked AS would the example Of an
"unco guild" hypocrite who would rob them
under the cloak Of humanity and starye them
in the name OK religion.

THE M'KINLEY SUGAR PRICES.

About the only sop thrown TO the poor man
by the Mckinley bill is the reduction in the
price of sugar. and we must say this is quite
an important item. Had the tariff bill, as it
originally passed Congress, been approved by
the Senate. the reduction would have been
far greater, for all sugars of all kinds were on
the free list; but, as is usually the case, the
poor man will suffer for the benefit of the
rich, and the sugar rcfiners will reap an enor-
nous advantage under the Mckinley bill, as
the sugar-reGping business is now practically
under one management.
After April LIST all sugar will: be admitted
free Of duty, notaboveNo. Is Dutch standard.

ONE of the most notable men OF the pres, nj
age is General Joseph T. Johnston, who has
50 recently been brought prominently before
the country as one Of the pall-bearers at Gen.
eral Sherman's funeral. An active participant
i'll three great conflicts-the Seminole and
Mexican wars and the great war between the
Northern and Southern States-in each of
which he bore a conspicuous part. and re-
ceived wounds which in more than one in
stance were feared to D. mortal. he is still, at
an advanced age, hale, hearty and erect. He
is a remarkable specimen of natural constitu-
tional vigor and wonderful physique, and bids
fair yet to outlive all his contemporaries. The
recognition of him as first in rank among
Sherman's pall-bearers was a gracefulact, and
illustrates the wonderful revolutions wrought
by the whirligig of Time.

OYI;EHOI;N.

In TINS last ara greedy age, Nucn an ehoI-
nous and unwearied capacity for work is the
most important element Of practical success
there is growing danger to all who are i'll
volved in the cares of responsible posi-
tions, to overtax their physical and intel
lectual capacities by assuming larger tasks
than they can well undertake alone, or by
pushing these tasks with an energy and single
ness of purpose that can lead TO but one issue,
general collapse in mind and body.
This is eminently the age Of competition,
an age when an endless struggle isin progress,
not only for precedence. but for existence; an
age when every man engaged in active affairs
feels that he has many rivals who are eager TO
outstrip him or TO suprlant him. The moral
pressure upon his spirit of this recognized fact,
hurries him into exertions which he is not
always able to stand without fatal personal
injury.
Ambition or extreme conscientiOusnessv very
frequently has the same effect as desire, on
purely practical grounds. not to he left be-
hind in the race.
Spurred on by these different influences.
many men who are unable to bear the bur-
dens which they have imposed upon them
selves die before their hour, and are lost to
the communities which they had served so
well by the faithfulness and assiduity illus
t.ated in their lives. No great length Of time
passes that we are not called upon to record
the deaths of such men. And the instances
are not confined TO any one profession or
pursuit. Only in the course Of the last
fortnight there passed away in the South
two men OF prominence one journalist, the
other minister of the Gospel. who died dis
tinctly from oyerwork, and who could have
been lily spared in the communities in which
they resided.
!. Reference is made to the late editor of the
Wilmington Messenger and the late rector OF
s.. Philips church in Atlanta.
Mr. Bontz, who was one Of the most saga
cious and accomplished members of the pro-
fesson of journalism in the Southern States,
had in the Wilmington Messenger established
public institution which reflected great dis
.inction upon his career and honor upon the
reputation Of the city i'll which il was pub
lished. To this excellent journal. he gave up
his whole life regardless Of the tax upon his
strength, and the result was that he was cut
short In the flower of his usefulness.
The death of the Rev George Nj. Funston,
in Atlanta, was. if possible, still more deplora-
be because he had not passed beyond the
boundary of early manhood. In his end, a
career Of the highest devotion and very un-
usual promise was brought TO n sudden close
by extreme assiduity in the work to which he
had given his thoughts and energies.
The intelligence. the industry, the faithful
ness. and the warm enthusiasm in their differ
ent walks which distinguished these two men
will long be remembered. with Affecting of gen.
uine sorrow that lives which had accomplished
so much in the cause of God and good citizen
ship, by precept and example, should have
been extnsuished in the fullness of their use
fulness by that demon of the present age
oyerwork.

The Emperor William, in spite of the lib
eral sentiments which he has so often ex-
pressed. and which have been illustrated in
many important measures of his Govern
ment, discloses in some of his occasional
speeches that he has not thrown of entirely

his reign TO proclaim himself war lord"

Kansas Female Suffrage.

Will the Kansas Senate adopt the Female
Suffrage bill which has just passed the House?
II is the most comprehensive measure of the
kind that has ever received the approval Of
one branch Of any State Legislature. 1t not
only confers upon women the right Of voting
in all elections. but also the right of holding
any Office in the Government of the State;
and there is no doubt that if 1t became a law
the women of Kansas would take advantage

Thomas Houghton and William A.
Boyd, residents Of McDoweliviile, had
contention, which was thoroughly
ventilated before Squire Monaghan
last evening.
1t seems that Boyd Is the owner OF
some chickens of tender age, while
Houghton Is the proud possessor of q
fine large cat, For some time Boyd has
been losing chickens and Investigation
had repeatedly failed to find their ex-
terminator. Finally themeans of thu ir
rapid destruction was ascertained, as
he caught neighbor lIoughton's cat In
the act OF appropriatlng one of tho
chickens. lie forthwith selzed the Of
fender and threw him In the cellar,
where he Kept him a close prisoner for
at least five hours. As Soon as Hough.
ton learned that his pet was In DURANGO
vile, he called on his neighbour and in
the most emphatic terms declared that
II the offending feline was not released
at once, he would break Boyd's neck.
AS Boyd did not care to be treated
In such an unceremonious manner, he
sought protection In Squire Mono
Ehan's Office. The result was Hough-
ton WIS burdaned with heavy costs for
making threats, whereupon he imme-
diatcly declared he would have his
nelghbor arrested for cruelty to dumb
animals.
He alleges that Boyd had his cat con-
fined for Mt least five hours, In q damp
collar without food and drink. and
that he claimed was cruelty to dumb
animal. The matter was finally ar
ranged, and the case dismissed upon
Houghton paying the costs.
