The Blacks LIE Cleveland.

When Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated In
1885 there was great uneasiness among the
blacks of the south. Many OF them had
been led TO believe that democratic control
OF the government meant their return to
slavery. The most intelligent among them
were satisfied, OF course, that their race
would fare as we'll under a democratic ad-
ministration as it had under a republican
one, but 10 was not an easy matter TO con-
vince the great mass Of them that their
fears we're groundless.
AS time went on they saw they had been
mislead by bad advisers, and when they
found that Mr.. Cleveland was appointing
oolored men TO Office they openly expressed
their admiration for him.
1t is not unusual to hear colored men say
now that though they are republicans they
know Mr.. Cleveland is good man aud
that they believe cofored men will have
nothing to complain OF while he is Presi-
dent.
The feeling among the colored people In
respect to the Democratic party is vastly
different now from what it was when Mr..
Cleveland first became President. They
Aho" III" IhoO 0lA VI OnolI AARu1s duu PRIV
ileges are as freely accorded them by the
democrats as by the republicans. In fact,
many of the more intelligent of them are
beginning to see that the Republican party
has been aiming only to control their votes
while the Democratic party in the south is
sincerely anxious to assist them in better
ing their moral and material condition.
All the state governments in the south
are democratic. and yet the blacks are
given their full share of the school money,
and every opportunity they could ask for
making a living is offered them. Four
years more of Mr.. Cleveland will go long
way toward convincing them that their
true interests are in the direction Of the
Democratic party.

said W. g. Crane not long ago when met him

Music and Drama. In both ancient and mod

The stockholders Of the Panama Canal
| Company now know what has become OF
the greater part Of their money. The testi-
mony that was given in court last week
shows TINT at least one-halt Of the hundreds
Of millions Of dollars that we're paid into the
company's treasury went into the pockets of
| blackuailers and bribe-takers Men in high
places who possessed great influence looked
with gresdy eyes upon tho treasury Of the
canal company treasury that had
been fllet, to great extent. from The saw
ings of the poor, who were led to invest in
the shares of the canal company by the
promise of big diyidends-and deliberately
planned TO have the bulk Of its contents.
Not single one Of the bribe-takers and
blackmsIlers should be permitted to escape
punishment There is no ground upon
which to base plea Of mercy for them.
1t is clearly not the intention Of the
convicted Panama canal directors to show
them any mercy. The revelations made by
Charles de Lesseps and NJ FoDtane in their
testimony lie almost sufficient 20 make one
doubt that there are men In public life in
France who are not corrupt
The spectacle that Nj. Baihut presented
when giving his testimony and confessing
his guilt was pitiable one. He was a mem
Der OF the cabinet, holding the position of
commissioner Of public works. He ad-
mitted that 375, 900 francs was paid to him in
order to secure the introduction OF the loan
lottery bill. And according 10 the testi-
mony Of Charles de Lesseps millions of dol
lars we're paid to Baron Reinach and Cor
nelius Herr on the advice Of such promi-
nent men as NJ. de Freycinet, Nj. Floques
and NJ. Clemenceau.
1t seems that the newspapers had to be
bribed not to attack the financial schemes
Of the company, and Legislators had to be
bribed to enact such legislation as 1t was
thought necessary the company should
have.
According to Charles de Lesseps the com-
pany had no friends. 1t was harassed by
blackmailers, bribe-seekers and adventurers-
1t had to submit TO their demands or cease
attempting TO carry out its plans. The
wonder is that any money at all was spent
on the canal.
Are those who got the oompany's money
by Matchmaking methods any better than
common thievesl They are not, and France
will not be satisfied until they are dealt with
just as thieves are. Even those who de-
msnded and received exorbitant compensa-
ton for comparative valuelesa services, be-
cause they we're in position to compel com
pliance with their demands, are but little
better than hiRhwaymen.

How Cody Dezzled the Austrians.

OF the many handsome aids in Saturdays
procession none attracted more attention than
Col. William F. Cody, or, as he is better known,
buffalo Bill, says the Washington Star
Last evening at Chsmberlin's Col Cody told
the Star representative the following story: Il
was in Vienna in May, 1890, at the opening of
the exposition and visited United States Minis
ter Fred Grant. The Austrian court is the most
magnificent In Europe, and the Austrian Off
GERS the most gallant and elegantly uniformed
of any army In the world
Fred was determined that there should be
ono American officer in his party at the OMEN
ing of the exhibition whose regalia at least ap-
preached the elegance and glitter in which he
would mingle. 70 he said to me: Colonel
you attire yourself in your uniform as
brigadier general Of Nebraska, and then cut
off all the yellow cord. gold lace buckles,
tassels and trappings from your colonel's uni
form, and have them sewed on your general'a
uniform
II did this and took the horsehair from nv
colonels helmet and put it with the horsehair
of my brigadier generals chapeau. l wore

that lifted me up about six inches l was the
most gorgeously dressed man at the opening OF
the exposition, and the rest Of our people were

be the general in chief of the American army.

The esteemed Baltimore SUMS Washing

astounding information. He says, with all
the force of a line Of black-faced type, that
there is in Washington "a scarcity o. Geor-
gians." And, further, he says: "Notwith-
standing the presence Of Mr.. Hoke Smith as

few Georgians in the city looking for Office.
A number who came here to witness the in.

A Market for Silver.

From the NeiU York Journal of Commerce( Ind J.
market for silver in the proper sense OF
this term Is demand for use or consumption,
and not the mere sale to some one VINO will
store it,. II the government had any occasion
to use the silver il might buy II. and such a
purchase would relieve the market OF the GUAM
tity taken. But the transfer from the store
house Of the miners to the warehouse OF the
government of so many tons per annum is not
providing real market for it, aud it Is piled up
an ever-increaSing menace to the holders OF
this commodity who desire to make it the sub
ject Of leg innate trade. An artificial call for
silver cannot give any permanent relief, aud
the sooner tnis scheme is abandoned the better
will 1t be for the producers. The regular law of
supply and demand will work out the most be-
nehcent resul; for oil concerned, and it cannot
