toast to herself. the toast: The Gentle

They divide our Joys. they double our sor-
rows, they treble our pleasures, they quadruple
our responsibilities, aud ou! general IN every
thing. They increase cur self-respect they
awaken our sympathy, they excite our curiosity

James Gordon Bennett and
His New Departure.

NEW YORK, April 25.]rSpecial Core
spondence. Chatting in the Astor house
the other day with the gentleman now in
charge of one of our old-established New
York journals. he told me about an inter-
view that he had with Allen G. Thurman
IN this city along in 1887. The reminis-
cence was apropos of some discussion
about Mr.. Cleveland and his third candi-
dacy for the presidency. This gentleman
told me that Mr. Thurman was very bitter
in his depreciation of Mr.. Cleveland at the
time named. He had nothing pleasant to
say of his administration, and his general
hostility was manifest throughout the con-
sersation. Much to the surprise of my
friend Mr.. Thurman was nominated on
the Democratic ticket for vice president
the year following, and knowing what he
did of the old gentleman's real
sentiments he was prepared to con-
template the incongruities of American
politics. This recalled the fact that Mr..
Cleveland during his entire administra-
ton absolutely ignored Mr.. Thurman, and
therefore gave him most excellent grounds
for hostility. 1t recalled the fact to my
my mind that Immediately following Mr.
Cleyeland's election in 1854, gentleman
IN TINS city who was anxious to impress
himself upon national affairs visited Mr..
Cleveland at the governors mansion in
Albany. He went there upon invitation
to discuss the new cabinet and to learn, if
possible, some of the characteristics of
Mr.. Cleveland. He told me that he had
never met man in public life who knew
so little of public men and political history
as Grover Cleveland. At that time. it will
be remembered, Mr.. Cleveland had never
been further west than Buffalo, he had
never seen the city of Washington, he had
never seen many distinguished men and
he had never been in amy sense political
student. In talking over the various
capable men in the Democratic party 1t
soon became evident that Mr.. Cleveland

In the City OF TRAGEDIES.

PITTsBURG, February 5.-Woods Run car
No. L, of the Manchester line, having on
board thirteen of the new employees of the
company, was wrecked on Beaver avenue at
80 a. IN. by an explosion of dynamite
cartridge, which had been placed ON the
track. Not one person was badly hurt.
When the explosion came the car was lifted
bodily from the track and smashed. Several
of the men were cut by flying glass. Many
persons We're thrown from their beds by the
force of the explosion. One of the striking
conductors, who was seen by a reporter, said
that he had heard two of the striking conduc-
tors threaten that they would put dynamite
upon the track. He also said that some days
ago two of the so-called sympathizers asked
him TO take hand in plot to do up Presi-
dent Dalzell and General Manager Green
wood, of the company. A great crowd soon
collected at the scene of the explosion and
the general sentiment seemed to be that the
men who had committed the deed had waited
until the car was well loaded with hated

Fussing About Grain Inspection.

FussinR About Grain Inspection.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, February 9.-The grain
dealers of Kansas City believe that grain in
spection, as made under Missouri law, is q
disadvantage and works discrimination
against their trade. They argue that the
rules for the grading of grain in Missouri
were formulated according to the conditions
which prevail at the St. Louis market, the
conditions of the Kansas City market having
been ignored. They say that Missouri inspec-
ton of Kansas wheat at this place reduces its
grade so as to seriously interfere with their
business. A board of trade meeting was held,
at which it was determined to inaugurate an
inspection independent of the state inspec-
ton. William Walker was appointed chief
inspector and Solomon Wagner deputy, both
experienced grain men.
Aspecial from st. Louis says: Chief O'Shea,
of the state grain inspection bureau, has de-
termined to maintain the state inspection in
this market at all hazards, and will have
every Independent inspector arrested who at
tempts to inspect gram without authority
from the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission. The punishment for that otfense is
fine of $500 or imprisonment for six months,
or both.
The elevator men claim that state inspec-
ton can be enforced only in those elevators
whose proprietOrs formally declared them to
be public warehouses. Only two elevators,
they say, have given such notice. At all other
elevators state inspection will be restricted.
The warehouse commission, on the other
hand, claims that the fact that the elevator
men allowed state inspection in the past
made their elevators public warehouses, and
that private inspection will be denied.
A settlement of the dispute will probable
be arrived at only after resort to the court

Changes in the Navy.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February 9.-There
were some important orders issued from the
nary department, interesting in view of the
recent prospect of the Gillian war.
Captain W. s. Schley is relieved from the
command of the cruiser Baltimore, which
occupied such a large share of public atten-
ton. and placed on duty in charge of the
third lighthouse district, with headquarters at
Staten Island. n. Y, relieving Captain H. F.
Pickering, who is ordered to command the
cruiser Charleston, which figured so promi-
nently in the Itata incident.
Captain d. r. Remy is relieved from his
command and granted two months leave OF
absence.
The Baltimore is to be commanded by
Captain William Whitehead, who is at pres
ent on duty at the Boston navy yard.
Both the Baltimore and Charleston are at
San Francisco.
1t was stated at the navy department that
the orders had no bearing on the Chill cpl
sode, as the relief of Captains Schley and
Remy is a matter of rule, those officers hav-
ing already served more than the regulation
time as commanders of vessels. Their time
was expired some weeks ago. and it was at
their urgent request that no changes would
be made as long as there was prospect OF
trouble.

The Indian Messiah,

CHICAGO, February 6.-Captain Higgins.
Iaide-de-camp to General Miles, has returned
from an extensive trip in the Indian territory,
where he investigated the rumors of ghost
dancing among the Indians. The Arapa-
hoe, Cheyenne and Usage Indians still cling
to the belief that the Messiah will some day
appear to save them," said Captain Higgins,
''and they are not at all disappointed in the
failure of the Messiah to come among them
last year. They did not pretend to know the
date of his coming. The former frenzy
among them and their excited dances have
given way to quiet belief. which has almost
become a religion with them, that the whites
are to be destroyed and the Messiah will
come. There is no excitement among the
whites who live on land bordering reserva-
tions, because no outbreak is feared.

Wind Selling.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 9.-Among
those who appeared before the house COM
mittee on agriculture, to discuss the option
bill, was Mr.. Martin, of Indiana, who at
tackled dealings in futures as wind selling
that injured the producers. The greater
part of trading in wheat was done between
October and April, and during that time the
farmer had to accept the depressed prices,
caused by short sellers. Along in the spring
there might be bulge in prices but that did
not benefit the farmer, because he had previ-
Ously been compelled to sell his crop. The
owner of wheat, he explained, saw the unlim-
tied quantities of wheat the 'seller of the
wind'' offered on the market and became
fearful that the consumption would never
catch up, and under such circumstances
lost heart and dropped his contracts. No
body could tell which was the actual and
which was the ''wind SELL" and as a con-
sequence, there being 100, 100000 bushels of
wheat sold where only 100000 bushels ex-
listed, prices were kept down.
The speaker then criticized the old Butter
worth anti-option bill, and laid before the
committee the measure he had framed. 1t
was, in its main features, similar to option
bills now before the committee. 1t requires
that sellers of farm products must prove they
own the things they sell: that sales be re-
corded by the government and federal super
vision exercised over the business. heavy
penalty is provided for violation of the law.

TuChman and Jockheck.


TOPEKA, February 6.-The supreme court
has denied the application for rehearing in
the case of Bernard Tuchnan and Carl Jock
heck. =
Both men will be rememberl hs original
package dealers. Both were convicted in the
district cou-t of Shawnee county of selling
liquor in violation of the prohibitOry law.
Judge Guthrie sentenced both men to terms
in the county Jail and to pay fines and costs
amounting to several hundred dollars.
Their cases were Immediately appealed to
the state supreme court and hearing was
had. Last November that court handed down
decisions affirming the judgment of the dis
trict court.
Their attorney, David Overmyer, immedi-
ately made application for a rehearing of the
cases and the application has been pending
since that time.
Both Tuchman and Jockheck are under
heavy bonds. The last resource has now
been exhausted, and there is little doubt but
that steps will be taken to secure the enforce
'ment of the sentence of the court.

The Queens Speech,

LONDON, February 9.-Parliament opens
to-day. Much time has been spent by the
cabinet in shaping the speech from the
throne. This work is concluded and the
speech been presented to the queen for her
formal approval.
The speech opens with reference to the
sympathy of the nation for the royal family
over its recent bereavement: alludes to the
death of the khedive as not affecting British
relations with Egypt; refers to the continued
prosperity of the country, and says there is
no reason to fear that England will be ulti-
IN ately affected by foreign tariff legislation,
and congratulates the country upon the pros
pect of an early settlement of the Behring
sea dispute, and upon the pacific aspect of
foreign affairs generally. The speech men,
tions the Irish local government and educa-
ton bills as adding completeness to the series
of measures for securing order in and the
welfare of Ireland.

Sample Press Comments

NEW YORK, February 1O.-The Herald says !:
''James G. Blaine has declared over his sigma
ture that he will not be q candidate for the
presidency in the approaching battle of the
parties. This eliminates from the political
campaign very important element. So far
as the republicans are concerned it may be
said without fear of contradiction that they
have lost their strongest man. By all odds
Mr.. Blaine was their most available leader.
As to the democrats, their shrewdest Oppo-
nent has retired from the field. They have q
large number of men who can certainly win
against Harrison, and who ought to be able
to win against Blaine. If they handle their
forces with skill and enter the contest with q
strong western man it will be their own fault
if they fail to carry the day, for the great
ou of the American people in all sections
of the country are with them"
The Tribune says:
''Mr. Blaine tells the chairman of the re-
publican national committee, and through
him the party and the country, that he is not
a candidate for the presidency and that his
name will not 60 before the Minneapolis
convention. This formal announcement will
cause sorrow and disappointment to thou
sands of republicans, and there is no reason
for assembling that fact. No other living
American has inspired such ardent devotion.
and upon no other have so many Americans
longed to confer the greatest distinction with
in their gift. That is simple and obvious
truth which nobody doubts and which dis
parages nobody. The certainty that the fore
most citizen of the country will not ne the
next president of the United States and the
presumption that he will never occupy that
great Office can not fail to afflict a multitude
of his fellow citizens with a keen sense of
personal grief. What we have said already
should be repeated here, that Mr.. Blaine has
connection with the presidency while holding
the Office of secretary of state, and nobody
has pretended to doubt his right except in
the silly hope of producing discord in the
republican party. General Harrison and Mr..
Blaine had no misunderstanding on this
subject -
