CIFMFNCV THAT is CRUEL.

Mr.. Cleveland evidently regrets that he al
lowed himself to be made the most conspicuous
and influential agent in procuring from Gov
ernor buchanan, of Tennessee, communication
NJ the sentence of Colonel II. Clay King. As
he becomes aware of the popular Indignation
which this act of clemency has produced, and
realizes how Just the Indignation is, his own
burden of responsibility must weigh heavily
upon him.
There could not be more atrocous crime
than the murder of Poston. The assassin whom
manufactured compassion has saved from the
pallows had earned the scOrn OF every honest
man and woman before that final infamy. by
4 long course of lust and treacherr he had made
himself odious to the community in which he
lived, and invalidatcd every natural tie. lie
posscsscd not one lovable or respectable trait
Of character He was cruel, cowardy malig-
nant and the crime for which he was con-
demned to death was a complete revelation OF
the man. He gave his victim no warning; nc
did not even face him boldly, but Shot him down
As he walked past unconscious OF danger. In
such case there was no use in appealing even
~ that false sense of honor which is too often
successfully invoked in Southern States.
iurv found him guilty without delay, and the
verdict was sustained in every court and by
an overwhelming public sentiment. But there
were those whom unmeritcd affection and fam
ilv pride naturally enlisted on his side. and
there were hers whose ignorance and creduity
and pity were doftly played upon. Governor
buchanan was bcsicgcd and weakly surren-
dered. and now under the pressure OF public
wrath and condemnation he produces letter
from Mr.. Cleveland to justify his clcmcncy.
AIr. Cleveland did not address the letter to
the Governor. lie thought and said that il
would be improper TO do so. He sent IT to the
assassin's niece. He told her that his slight
knowledge of the case led him to suppose that
her uncle would not be convicted of murder
in the first degree, and then he wrote as fol
lows: 81 feel that there are circumstances IN
your unclcs case which ought to appeal strong
" 10 the hardening power, and earnestly hope
that such representations may be made 10 your
Governor as will avert the execution OF the
death sentence which has been pronounced
This appeal, indirect but not less powerful on
welcome on that account, and per
haps especially effective because of its
expressed Difference to tho prophecies,
was instantly and hopefully placed III
the hands of Governor buchanan. He could
not resist it. and he now offers it in justiiica-
ton of an act which has set his state and the
country against him. We have not the least
doubt that Mr. Clevelands motives were good,
bur, he made a dcplorablc mistake. And 1t Is
bccause his position makes his error so impor-
tant and so conspicuous that we cite 1t to en-
pV1mulp
directed compassion teaches.

Their present postCflicc address is the valley OF
humiliation They have been snccIcd at. snubbed

secure the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland, the
only recognition which they are receiving in
the campaign is the recognition of open con-

canvass is ntrusted to Mr.. Hills licutenants,
while they themselves are utterly and carefully
ignored. Mr.. Murphy, the chairman of the
Democratic Committee, may not have given

DONE the poor Anti Snappers could hardly be
in a worse plight than the one in which they
now find themselves. They made an earnest
fight against Hill at Syracuse Now he is hay-

bears them, he is making them the laughing
stock of Democrats the country over. They
are known as Mr.. Clevelands closest political
friends, and still at Hills dictation they are
denied anything more than passive participa
ton in the Cleveland campaign.
Now it is possible that the Anti-Snappcrs
could bear their position, Notifying as it is,
with a show of fortitude were it not for the
fact that they cannot but know as intelligent
men that Mr. Cleveland himself has consented

operation of the Mckinley act in all essential
respects. Wages have been increased, prices
have been reduced, foreign importatlons have
been DISPLACED, work has been given to Ameri-
cans in preference to Europeans, higher grades
of manufacture have been introduced, and
great impulse has been impaired to an industry
emnently adapted for farming community.

.MEINLEY WAGES.

Another striking tariff study is offered in or
staff correspondents letter from Gloversvillc,
the great centre Of the American glove trade.
We ask Democratic tariff agitators to take up
this Gaze, 10 sft the evidence and to let us
know in what respect the Mckinley Tariff act
has operated badly. Let us first remind them
of their sinister predictions when the duties on
gloves were increased two years ago. They
assumed that the manufacturers would form a
trust and advance the price of their goods;
that few rich men would make millions out
of the increased tariff rates. and that not one
operative employed in the factories would have
his wages raised, and that the poor consumer
would be taxed whenever he bought pair Of
gloves Not one of these forecasts has been
justified after the act has been in operation for
two years.
No trust has been formed for regulating the
price of gloves. There is Unrestricted COMPETE
ton among the manufacturers. The increased
duties have displaced a large portion of the
importation, have greatly expanded the volume
of domestic manufacture, and have enabled
American glovemakers to compete with for
eigners in nearly all lines of gloves. The
operatives in the factories and the farmers
families who finish gloves in their own homes
have fair share in the benefits Of the increased
duties Their earnings are greater than in
1890: the rates for piccewOrk have been in
creased the introduction of higher grades Of
work has involved promotions in mills and
marked addition to wages; employment has
been constant from the beginning to the end

1t is just fifty-two years ago that the State
whose motto is "Dirigo" went " hell-bent for
Governor Kent, and Tippecanoe and Tyler too"
Since then the people have always kept an eye
on Maine to note the conduct of her stalwaTt
people and an car open to hear the purity and
sorority of the keynote which she has so often
given to the country. In an interview printed
to-day in TIE TRIBUNE, Senator Frye tells us
plainly what that keynote is for this year.
Maine is not going back On her traditions, but
is going to help roll up the majority for the
grandson of Old Tippecanoe, because he has

and because Mr.. Blaine's friends are "Repub-

How puissant is a majority of forty? Mr..
Lucy discusses this question, the most absorb
ing one in connection with the political situa-
ton in Great Britain just now,.in chatty letter
from over the seas which THE TRIBUNE
prints this morning. Two score men have long
been looked upon as majority that would serve
in the National Legislature of this country, but
considering its constituent elements in the pros
ent case, it may prove a weak reed for the in
coming British Premier. Meanwhile it tends to
encourage respect for the amenities OF political
controversy to read again the story of how Mr..
Gladstone lifted Mr.. Arthur Peel to the dignity
of Speaker of the House of Commons in 1884
and how whole-heartedy and enthusiastically
be seconded him last week, notwiths anding that
meanwhile he had become a dissident' Liberal.

One of the elements of interest in tranSat-

the many who sit at home and condemn all eff
forts to reduce the time between the shores of
the Old World and the New, is suggested in the
account printed this morning of the voyages
which are just ended Of the steamships Aurania
and Alaska How much the mOnotony OF vsy-
age at sea is relieved by the sight of another
steamer bound for the same port, and how much
the pleasure promoted can only be guessed at
by those who have never experienced the sensa-

The Savings Of Many Mechanics Stolen
by Rich Rascals.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-At a meeting OF the
creditors Of the Liberator Building soci-
ETY.. today, there was stormy scene.
The collapse OF the society swept away
the savings of years of many mechanics,
shop keepers, and others of small means.
During the meeting the statement was
made that James Spencer Balfour, one
OF the principal men of the society and
a member Of the house of commons, had
sold all his property in Great Britain
and fled to- Spain. His son, w:;o was
present at the meeting, said to the best
OF his knowledge his fathers property
was not sold and his father was not in
Spain. He declined to say where the
elder Balfour was, and a great uproar
ensued.
]. w. Hobbs, the well-known London
builder, and g. H. Wright, his solici-
tor, who were arrested December 18th
on charges of forgery in connection with
the failure of the Liberator society and
Land Investment trust, had additional
charges preferred against them. Hobbs
will also have to answer for the theft of
a large sum of money belonging to his
own firm, J. W. Hobbs & Co. Qimited). /.
The new charge against Wright is that
he stole check for 9250O belonging to
the Liberator society. 1t is said Hobbs
