CLEyELAND's vEToEs.

Mr.. Cleveland vetoed 400 bills. And
the Republicans of the 51st Congress,
that Of Gar Reed, could find only so
Objectionable bills. So they have been
untrue in saying that Mr.. Cleveland is
unpatriotic.
The Democratic party is not for free
trade. 1t knows that sufficient sum of
money must be raised to serve the gov
eminent expenses economically admin
istered.
The speaker closed with an appeal to
his audience to vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket and to resent every attempt
Of unrighteous Federal interference.
He expressed the hope that they would
not allow themselves to be bulldozed
out of their liberties as freemen and
their rights of citizenship.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 2S.-Scorcs
Of blocks of Milwaukcc's largest bust
ness establishments together with hun
dreds of frame houses were destroyed
by fire tonight Commencing at $50
o'clock in an oil establishment on East
Water street, near the river, the flames,
driven by hurricane, spread with
.arightfnl rapidity to the lake, over half
. mile to the cast. II is utterly impossi-
BILE to estimate the loss with any degree
Of accuracy.
Even complete list of the big bust
ness houses cannot be obtained, while
70 these must be added the small indi-
vidual losses of hundreds of small pro-
perty owners. AS it is the loss will
probably amount to $20,000,000 oil

touched the south end of the freight
house. In second almost u million
dollars worth of railroad property was
destroyed. The low brick freight house
stayed the onward sweep of the flames,
but only for moment. Through the
square windows the rcd glow could be
seen, and u moment later shower of
burning cinders tloatcd away toward
the lake, coursing Il thousand freight
cars filled with merchandise On and on
the wave of fire was sweeping, consum-
ing everything in its path over to Jack
son street and Broadway.
When the waves Of flames reached
the Weisel and Nilter plant. the depart
ment had prepared an attempt to cut it
off with dynamite. Three kegs of this
explosive were exploded in the build
ings. AS each went off in quick sue
cession the cry went mp from the thou
sands who blocked the streets around
for radius of a mile that the gas works
had exploded.
Despite the dynamite the Temple
iron foundry and the Rideburg vinegar
works were destroyed, together with
innumerable small buildings and resi-
dcnccs. lIanson's malt house, within
five blocks Of Lake Michigan, and the
elevator made u brilliant display when
they caught.

Legal Advice at 5000 a Word.

It is not often that piece of legal advice
costs 500 word, but yet this happened
in this city. Not long ago Mr. Morris But
Ter, son of John NJ. Butler who had just
arrived home from an evening party at
o'clock in the morning, heard a carriage
drive up TO the house. and moment later
answered a ring at the door bell A young
man of handsome face and energetic man
ner blurted out, without ceremony:
What states can cousins legally marry
I'M"
Il don't know" said Mr. Butler as soon
as he could recover from the effects of his
visitor bluntness but | will ask father 5"
He went up stairs. and after much
knocking aroused his father.
Father" said he, what states can
cousins legally marry I'M"
Kansas" was the single word in re-
Spouse, between what sounded suspiciously
like SHORES.
Mr.. Butler returned down stairs.
We'll, what does he say?" asked the
visitor
Kansas" replied young Mr.. Butler.
Thank your The door was closed and
the visitor was gone.
Nothing further was thought of the in
cident until the next days mail brought
Mr.. Butler certified check for 500 for
legal advice" from his hitherto unknown
client.-lndianapOli Journal.
