WASHINGTON May 1.-The pub
llshed story based upon the state
mcnt of q appointment New York
Democrat intimate with Mr.. Cleve-
land" 20 the effect that the latter
is seriously contemplating with
drawal created scarcely ID momen
tary ripple upon the surface of
politics. Representatives Warner
and Tracey, of New York, who are
supposed to be well acquainted
with Mr.. Cleveland's policy and
purposes, state that he will not
withdraw. Other evidence tends
to corroborate these gentlemen.
But i'll this connection there is a
growing feeling that the Demo
cratic party is approaching a cri-
sis, which will require calm and
deliberate treatment to overcome.
There is a growing fear that in
stead of preparing to meet in ma
tiOnal convention in a mood to
carefully and coolly consider the
situation and to make mutual con
cessions for the good Of the party
the delegates will come together
in factional spirit; that they may
increase rather than allay the
strife now prevalent. This phase
of the party's situation is now re-
ceivlng a great deal of attention
from prominent leaders i'm Con
gress. Some Of them believe that
in order to restore harmony it may
become necessary to retire both
Cleveland and Hill, as the excit.
ing strife has grown out of the ri.
valry between these two. This
sort of talk is heard only between
Democrats. 1t is not shouted from
the housctops. Men who have
served the Democratic party lone
and faithfully, and who have earn.
ed the right to bc heard aad heed.

ed in its councils are saying that
the party is greater than any man,
no matter who he may bc; that the
party mast be saved and its or
ganlZatiOn AMI discipline main
tanned, even though IA score OF
presidential aspirants be set aside.
1t is suggested by some that the
situation would be Immediately
s'mplitied and peace restored if
both Cleveland and Hill would
voluntarily withdraw. This sug-
gestlon meets the approval Of
some of the best and ablest Demo
Gratis in New York; Democrats who
will have voice and vote in the
Chicago convention.
THE NEW YORK DELEGATION.
The New York delegation, ac.
cording to these gentlemen, will
never go to Cleveland, nor is it
bound to Hill. The latter wanted
the February convention to issue
iron clad instructions for him. 1t
refused and simply authorized the
delegation to present Mr.. Hill It's
the choice Of New York for the
presidency. There is reason to be-
licve that the New York delega
ton, for the sake Of peace and
harmony, would be willing to meet
delegations Of other Democratic
States half way in selecting can
didate generally acceptable to the
party. Senator Hill has been
sounded as to the propriety Of his
withdrawing, but lie does not take
kindly to the suggestion. He ex-
presses confidence that his pros
poets were never so bright. How
ever, some Of his friends believe
Clinch Valley news. [volume] (Jeffersonville, Va.) 18??-2019, 1892-05-13

that he would retire if Cleveland
would also withdraw.
1t is the almost universal opin.
loa OF leading Democrats in Con
gresS that if the party is to win in
the coming canvass it must sup
press the spirit Of strife now so
prevalent, and prepare the way
for temperate, deliberate action at
Chicago.

cannot forbear here to touch
upon another point. / believe re.
ferred just now to the fact that until
lately there was simply strong pre-
ference for Mr.. Cleveland among the
voters of the State. Such was the
case until December last We were
supposed by outsiders to have been
divided into Hill and Cleveland
camps. Such, however, was not the
case. Politicians INDUCED in noisy
declamations, but the great mass Of
the voters were proud alike of boil
men, and treated all criticism upor
either as an invention on the enemy

saw tit to make an attack upon Mr.
Cleveland and the policy of the part,

dental nomination rather than

out the VOTES of the Southern
States, he will not accept. Should
the Southern States appear at
Minneapolis as unit against him
they could find enough assistance
to set Mr.. Harrison aside, for his
administration has not been re-
markable for its popularity. Mr..
Blaine's declinatiOn has, however,
disconnected the party and it will
renominate Mr.. Harrison, because
of it's fear to put forward its real

were equally abhorrent to our peo.
pie. MIR. Cleveland remained silent.
His enemies, the marptots, kept at
work aud the people watched. The
result has been that from tho politi.
cal favorite Cleveland has become, in
the eyes of the Democracy Of the
State, political martyr, aud they are
running to him as they could never
have been induced to do in any other
manner. Just us when the English
came and sent for the good Bishop
of Cornwall, his pnrishioners took

to know the reason why. Had i,
not been for the circumstances |

though Cleveland could have most
easily carried New York some other

The Many Coiored Land Crab.

The land crab of the American trop-
les is a very curious and interesting ami
NAL. Two specimens are now to be
seen in Philadelphia. The one at the
Academy of Natural Sciences is of a
reddish purple color, because it drank
water stained with logwood ON its north
ern voyage. The other, which is an at
traction at Vine street cigar store, is a
bright golden yellow, shading off to
light green, as the result Of a banana
diet. This is a chief popularity of the
land crab-he changes his complexion
with his diet, and can display as many
costumes in the course of a year as a
fashionable woman.
Land crabs stay on the upland and in
the mountains except during the breed
ing time, when they come down to tie
shore. 1t is at this time that the natives
of Dominica in the West Indies and on
the several islands in the Caribbean
sea catch them in great numbers, and
placing them in pens feed them with
oatmeal for about two weeks, when
they get very fat and succulent. When
excited by hunger they will travel long
distances for food, and are said to eat
carrion and have been known TO rob
graves

INEXCUSABLE BARBARTTY

A private in the militia on duty at
Homestead on hearing of the assault
Of the assassin upon Frick proposed
three cheers for the assassin. He must
have been a fool or an anarchist. But
he was cOurt-martialed on the order of
the major-general and the court-mar-
tial in its sentence went beyond all
reason. 1t not only directed that his
head be half shaved, his mustache be
shaved off, but that he be strung up by
the thumbs for thirty minutes, dis
honorably discharged and drummed
out of camp.
A soldier, though simply a militia
man, who, under all the circumstances
Of the case, would do such damnable
act as this private did ought to be dis
graced and dishonorably dismissed.
But for a court-martial or any other
tribunal in this civilized age to swing
man up by the thumbs for thirty
minutes oe until he looses consciousness
for any military offense is simply a
barbarity-a crime against the age in
which we live and the humanity Of
which we are part. The little briet
authority that some men get wher
clothed with military power turns tn,
head so that neither judgment, discre
ton nor good sense has a place will
them. If such a punishment wer,
ever allowable in any degree, it ough
to be imposed upon the members o
the court-martial voting for such al
accursed outrage.

REPUBLICAN TICKET
PROVOKING TO DEMOCRATS

In this hour, when the calamity
shriekers are decrying everything that
is good and great in the welfare of the
nation and people, when the Demo-
cratic press is generally showing the
alleged effects of bad government,
when the Mckinley tariff is being de-
nounced as destructive to the indus
tries of the country, it is interesting to
look at the following business review
from the New York Herald, the lead
ing commercial newspaper in America.
1t reads like a condemnation of the
Democratic party by the greatst news
paper in the party. Read
The business of the country is in a pro-
vokingly healthy and lou ishing condi-
ton. Imports during the fiscal year end
ing June 30 were greater than those Of
an former year, amounting TO eight hun
bred and thirty-three million dollars,
while exports also exceeded the highest
record, and reached the enormous aggre-
gate Of one billion twenty-seven million
dollars. Railroad earnings for the first
six months Of the year are greater than
those for any similar period in history,
md the output of manufactures has been
greater than ever before. Business fail
ures for the first half Of the present year
have been one thousand fewer in number
and forty million dollars less in gross
liabilities than they were during the cor
responding period of 1891. New indus
trial enterprises for manufacturing iron,
cotton and wooden fabrics are going into
operation in various sections. and while
the margin OF profits is small, business is
on a solid foundation. and the outlook in
every direction is hopeful and encourag-
ing. The grain crop is promising, money
is abundant, and collections are easy.
In the face Of such condition Of things
the calamity bowler must remain silent.
His bowling will scare nobody, not even
himself, for he is too smart not to realize
that the country is in a marvelously pros
porous condition, and likely to con-
tinue So

The merest accident compelled Mr.. 1.
N. Locke, of Wayne county, Ind, to
hold on to piece of real estate, and he is
now well off as consequence. In 1872 he
was in Chicago and bought lot for a
small sum. He put the deed in an envel-
ope and placed it in his pocket with other
papers. A few days afterward he lost
the envelope and all its contents. He
advertised for it, but really cared only
for the notes, thinking the lot of little
value.
John Ritchey, victim of softening of
the brain, was wandering aimlessly on
the street the day Locke lost his papers.
He found them and laid them away,
and even after his death no notice was
taken of the supposed worthless papers.
A short time ago John Ritchey's execu-
tor found the package and gave it to
Mr.. Locke, and through his attorneys
his claim has been established. Had
the deed remained concealed few days
longer the twenty years would have ex-
pired, and no claim would. have been al
lowable. 1t is lot in the boulevard ad-
dition, and the parties occupying it have
given Mr.. Locke 500, 900 for quit claim.

The largest sailing vessel in the world
was launched not long since, and she
was not launched in America, either, but
in Scotland, at Glasgow, and she was
built for firm of German merchants at
Bremen, being designed for the East
India trade. She is named the Marie
Rickmers. The vessel is a five master,
375 feet long, with one unique feature.
This is steam engine with triple ex-
pansion machinery. The design is when
the big ship is becalmed to apply steam
to this machinery and drive her onward
at about the usual sailing rate without
sails. The Rickmers is designed for a
rice ship and will carry that commodity
from Burmah to Bremen.

GEN, JOHN BIDwEIL. as she had done
in gold. He did much to fulfill his own
prophecy, establishing one of the finest
vineyards ON the coast, but when con-
verted to prohibition he had every vine
torn up and the roots burned!
He has had a remarkable and varied
career. Born Aug. 8, 1919, in Chautau-
qua county, N. Y, and taken in early
boyhood to Erie, Pa, ne went thence to
Ashtabula, o., for an education, and
then taught school in Ohio and Missouri.
In 1S41 he was one of the famous pio-
neer band to California which has fur
nished so many materials to local histo-
rian and romancer This was the first
band of settlers to cross the plains and
was six months on the way from Mis-
souri,. All the rest has been told by the
general himself in his admirable sketches
in The Century Magazine.
Heserved in the war against Mexico
and was later brigadier general in the
state militia, was the trusted manager
of General Suffer, a member Of the con-
stitutional convention of 1910, an oper-
ator in gold mines and finally member
of congress from 1865 to 1857. He has
also served i'll the state legislature and
other local offices. Meanwhile he had
secured tract of some % 900 acres at
Chico, in Butte county, which he has
made one of the finest places in the
world. He has constructed twenty
miles of elegant drives through this
tract which are omen 10 tha rublic six
days in the week, but on Sunday the
gates are closed.
He was a Democrat till the civil war
closed, then Republican till after Gar
field was elected and then became an
advanced Prohibitionist, casting his first
vote Of that sort for st. John in 1884.
Not the least interesting fact about him
is that though nearly seventy-three years
old he has the air and bearing and appar-
emily the vigor of man Of fifty. His
wealth is great but he is very popular
with his neighbors of all ranks.
